This document discusses Game Sense, a philosophy for teaching physical education that focuses on fun, playing, thinking, communicating, inclusion, challenge, and being player-centered. Game Sense involves modifying games, equipment, player numbers and rules to allow students to focus on skills while maintaining the tactical elements of sports. It emphasizes student autonomy and discovery through meaningful experiences like modified games. Research shows Game Sense can develop students' tactical awareness, decision-making, communication and perception skills.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Game Sense

In our classroom, we value
• Fun
• Playing
• Thinking
• Communicating
• Inclusion
• Challenge
• Player-centred

2. What Is Game Sense?
Game sense is a philosophy for teaching and learning Physical Education. It is
supported by constructivist learning principles which identifies that learners
absorb knowledge through the process of engaging in meaningful experiences
(O’Leary, 2016).
Research recognizes that Game Sense has value in its attempt to “…develop
students’ tactical awareness, decision making [skills, communication skills and
perception] within modified games,” (O’Leary, 2016).
Game Sense is applied when we modify playing areas, equipment, the numbers
of players and the rules of games, whilst maintain specific tactical intricacies of
the adult game so that students have the opportunity to focus of particular
skills (O’Leary, 2016).
3. Game Sense and Fundamental Movement
Skills
The Board of Studies, NSW (2007) identifies that
Fundamental movement skills are not naturally developed
and should be nurtured through students participation in
various ways, such as through play and games.
4. Game Sense in Action
Below is an example of how Game Sense is applied to Physical Education lessons.
The intent of employing this game is to encourage students to develop the
fundamental movements of sprinting, dodging and leaping; by playing an invasion
game that will promote abilities for their participation in sports such as rugby, Oz
tag, AFL.
(Teakel, 2011)
5. Strengths of Game Sense as a Teaching
Approach
The concept of Game Sense had really struck a cord with me when I was reading
Gary Townsend’s (2007) excerpt about Game Sense. He highlighted students
enjoyable engagement in physical activity and ‘un-organised’ sport everyday in
the playground. He also identified that students were pleasurably discovering
“…complex skills of evasion, team work, rules, spacial awareness [and] tactics,”
(Townsend, 2007., p. 1)on their own with no adult management. Here lies, what I
believe to be the key strength of Game Sense; guiding but not controlling
students in their participation of physical activity. Children are empowered
when they are given opportunities to practice their autonomy. I believe this is an
important facet of Game Sense, because when games are modified to reduce
rules, teachers do not have to over-coach and manage students. This allows for
students to develop their independent learning abilities whilst simultaneously
focusing on particular FMS.
6. Game Sense and Board of Studies NSW K-6 PDHPE
Syllabus (2012)
As mentioned above, Game Sense allows students to act autonomously during Physical
Education lessons. This in turn encourages positive attitudes of students toward learning,
and physical activity; and thus positive attitudes of themselves and others. This is very
relevant for the fact that teachers are mandated to ensure that the values of student
participation, belonging and physical health and safety are upheld (Board of Studies, NSW.,
K-6 PDHPE Syllabus, 2007).
