2M uses the Game Sense approach to teaching physical education. Game Sense focuses on using modified games as the center of lessons to encourage strategic decision making and development of fundamental movement skills in an enjoyable way. It helps students understand game procedures and tactics through questioning and reflection during play. Some benefits of this approach include developing students' understanding of physical activity, life skills like problem solving, and a sense of teamwork and inclusion for all students. The Game Sense approach aligns with the NSW PDHPE syllabus in teaching skills like catching, throwing, and cooperation.
This presentation was designed with parents and students in mind to provide information about Game Sense and why it is beneficial in the teaching of primary PDHPE.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 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.

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.

1. WHY DOES 2M USE THE GAME
SENSE APPROACH?
18101531
2. WHAT IS GAME SENSE?
• Game sense is an engaging approach to teaching and coaching that
uses moderated games as the centre of the lesson (Towns, 2002).
• Teachers direct the focus on the moderated game rather than specific
techniques and this encourages players to become strategically aware of
their decision making throughout the game, as well as thinking vigilantly
about concepts that are fundamentally important (Towns, 2002).
• In addition to this, skills are being developed within an enjoyable
content rather than practicing skills in isolation.
• Sessions are well constructed and players have a chance to get involved
in the game related activities early and often.

3. HOW IS GAME SENSE
TAUGHT?
1. Students understand the procedure of the game.
2. Students recognise any problems to be solved within that
particular game.
3. Students also develop an understanding of the main tactics
that shape the game.
4. Students are stopped at regular intervals to reflect on their
learning through questioning to make appropriate
decisions.
5. Students incorporate advanced fundamental movement
skills specific to the game, to develop their tactics.
6. Technical instructions are then given which leads to the
performance level of the students.

5. GAME SENSE IN PDHPE?
What is TGfU?
• TGfU is an acronym for Teaching Games for Understanding and refers
to a learner centered approach to teaching that highlights the learners’
needs and understandings of the games (Truong, 2014).
The 4 game categories:
• Net/Wall Games e.g. volleyball and badminton
• Target Games e.g. golf and darts.
• Striking/Fielding Games e.g. cricket and softball
• Invasion Games e.g. basketball and rugby
• Students gain skills and knowledge through different sports by playing
a variety of games associated with these categories.

7. RATIONALE
• After researching the benefits of the Game Sense approach being incorporated in
my classroom, it has become evident that it is an effective approach towards
teaching PDHPE for all students in 2M. The Game Sense approach assists the
development of students’ understanding of physical activity through teaching
fundamental movement skills and life skills such as decision making,
communication, problem solving and independence (Whitehead, 2001).
• It is important that the Game Sense approach is inclusive and keeps all students
active throughout PE lessons. This will encourage a sense of ‘team’ and sense of
worth within the classroom (Light, 2012). The activities implemented in 2M’s PE
lessons aim to build on the skills and tactical knowledge developed in previous PE
Game Sense activities. This will improve their skill execution and decision making.
• As a teacher, I believe that it is important to be constantly building my teaching
pedagogy to further students’ knowledge in all curriculum areas. Therefore, taking
up the Game Sense approach in my classroom is vital so that students get the
most out of the games and activities in PDHPE lessons.
