Quick & Dirty Tips for : Better PowerPoint Presentations Faster
You and I have wasted enough time on PowerPoint Presentations. It's a necessary evil, but there are much better ways to approach it. Based off a talk I gave @ APTS. Enjoy!
Create icons in PowerPoint
Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.

Games, Tales, and Social Space: Reflections on Engagement, Inclusion, and Dig...Charalambos Vrasidas, Ph.D.
This keynote speech will synthesize lessons learned from more than 20 years of research and development in the areas of digital learning. The international research Centre CARDET participated in more than 100 digital learning research projects which focus on the use of technology across several contexts. The use of games, social media, and online tools is opening opportunities to both learners and teachers. The emphasis will be on the role of digital tools for revisiting how we teach and learn, and the potential for transforming education practices. We will focus on 3 key projects with interconnected themes.
Digital Responsible Citizenship - https://digital-citizenship.org. The DRC project seeks to improve students and teachers digital citizenship and competency in line with several components of the digital citizenship framework.
iDecide - http://www.idecide-project.eu. This policy reform project aims to develop an innovative toolkit and a mobile app to support evidence-based policy making. The focus is the reduction of disparities in learning outcomes and marginalization, by supporting school leaders, school staff, and policymakers to engage in shared and inclusive decision making.
ENTRINNO – Online game for entrepreneurship and innovation - http://www.entrinno.org. As part of this project we developed an online game teaching youth entrepreneurial skills. The project was implemented and evaluated in 8 EU countries.
We will bring together lessons learned discussing the key issues around gamification, storytelling, social media, and digital citizenship, providing recommendations for both researchers and practitioners. NSTA - sTem
Come see how to tap into your students’ creative side. We will demonstrate, including student examples, how to enhance your classroom using technology.
STEM+ (extended version)
The document discusses the potential for STEM education to go beyond traditional silos and incorporate other disciplines through a "STEM+" approach. It provides examples of how dance and robotics could be combined to teach about heart development, and emphasizes interdisciplinarity, challenges, computational thinking, and redesigning learning spaces and experiences. The document advocates extending STEM to engage more inclusive, metaphorical, critical, creative and social/cultural dimensions of human activities.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
