A reflection on The Playable City Sprint by Jo Verrent.
In February 2012, the British Council and Watershed brought together twelve artists and designers from across East Asia and the UK, for a five-day sprint at Watershed’s Pervasive Media Studio around the theme of The Playable City.

This show is designed for the people of the Suncoast area of Florida to take some of the mystery out of the sport of orienteering. Orienteering, the sport of navigation, is a sport for all - all ages, all levels of fitness and all levels of navigation experience. Orienteering is a great way for youngsters of all ages to sharpen their thinking and decision making skills. Correct navigation decisions have good results.

Using geography as a metaphor for learning and thinking about a simple distinction between two extreme types of learning journeys. Advocating value of serendipitous, playful and risky learning where the journey is uncertain. These are the principles underpinning our Wildthink CPD adventures.
CPD with a difference: spending a weekend immersed in the outdoors: ‘doing fieldwork’, exploring, enquiring, collaborating, reflecting, learning – oh and having lots of fun! We had no set outcomes other than to share, enjoy and provide a space in which creativity might flourish. Find out what we did and how we reflected and learnt.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

5. There’s water down there (checks sand around gingerly) Oh it’s not too bad! I found a worm! There’s sharks in there! And snakes and worms! Is it a crab? I found a crab! I think it was pinching someone and someone stomped on it. I think this crab has lost his body! From Primary Geographer Autumn 2008
6. Can you see the unexpected ....... in the everyday? How can you record your responses geographically?
7. Task : using the range of maps provided, walk around the short route suggested or choose one of your own . Work in small groups and capture your own impressions of the walk. You may wish to use one or more of the suggested techniques and prompts to help structure your walk or you can develop your own. Journey strings : tie souvenirs and finds from your walk onto the string in sequential order – use these prompts to recall and map. Emotional mapping: focus on feelings along the way , either choosing the range of responses before hand or freely responding in different places. Activity mapping: what are people doing ? Sound and textures: rubbings and / or recording sounds along the way Environmental Quality: focus on the quality of the environment – what criteria will you use? What will your focus be?
8. Emotional mapping? Texture mapping? Special spots? Sketching? Digital recording? Activity mapping? Environmental quality? Sound mapping? Using journey strings?
9. How will you record your impressions along the way? Sketches, drawings, rubbings? Digital images, audio or video? Words? Symbols? Artefacts? Over to you!
10. When you get back, make a map of your journey You have: Large sheets of paper, A range of pens, stickers, glue, post its and crayons Internet connection to upload digital media and use digital mapping REMEMBER – THIS IS REAL WORLD ‘MESSY’ MAPPING !
11. www.multimap.com - postcode search OS map view Choose one of the following maps – printed off and laminated - to help you
15. Some outcomes Mapping Sounds and Signs “ We used different colour post -its to map human and natural sounds – as you can see we found very little of the latter!”
16. Activity Mapping – what are people doing here? We didn’t want to follow the suggested route but went instead to St Pancras Station and mapped everyday activities using a floor plan provided to give us some idea of outlines and direction.
17. Food for thought – going global in your local! We were amazed by the range and diversity of the eating outlets on offer and the links to the global dimension. Our journey string was used to collect food related items along the way.
18. We called our map ‘Looking up’ and taking this viewpoint we found lots of exciting views and noticed things we wouldn’t have normally paid attention to. Looking Up!

20. The Elements of the map Perspective : the view from above [using plan shapes, aerial/spatial layout] Symbols : how features are shown [using pictorial and symbolic, and a key] Location : where features are [using relative locations and grid systems] Direction : which way [using relative directions and compass directions] Scale : distance and size [using proximity, relative distances and sizes, and metric measurements] Purpose : what is to be shown [using a title] Selection : what is to be included [exploring decisions about content] Simon Catling http://www.geography.org.uk/projects/gtip/thinkpieces/makingmaps/ What elements did our messy maps have? Quite a lot!
