It provides 10 mapping ideas or prompts that encourage students to visually represent where they live, who they spend time with, how they connect to different places, and how their identities and perspectives are shaped by environmental and social factors. The mapping activities are presented as a way to better understand oneself and gain cultural understanding of others.

Travelling - A Learning Experience Far Away From HomeSilvia Tancou

Travelling enhances our learning experiences by placing us outside of our familiar environment, stimulating all our senses and pushing our limits. We get to live the learning content.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.
Operation âBlue Starâ 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.

Editor's Notes
Why do we move and relocate? Understanding why people move is one of the big âstoriesâ of human geography and how they are influenced by factors such as environment, location, culture, social connections and economics. These are stories that even very young children can relate to.
Useful to explore childrenâs use of relevant vocabulary and their understanding of landscape features. This could also be a 3D fantasy place â or a sustainable place. For example, what would your vision of your school grounds in the future look like? What knowledge of effective landscapes would you draw on and why? Who would it be designed for? Lots of possibilities.
