How large is the gap that truly exists between the real and ideal for learners? Are there ways to “tweak” (small shift) instruction that will enlist students as deep questioners, critical thinkers and effective problem-solvers (big impact)? What if we created a “Destination Postcard” of the ideal learner, and designed learning experiences from there? Join this Switch-inspired think-tank on lesson design and implementation strategies that empower students to think and act their way to the acquisition and connection of content while developing enduring learning dispositions.

The Innosight Institute (2012) defines blended learning as: “a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace...” Given that blended learning is NOT about putting content online and hoping students will take it from there... How might we leverage digital tools, environments and processes to give students more control over time, place, path and/or pace, even within a traditional school schedule? How might we most effectively combine face-to-face and online experiences to engage learners and extend their thinking beyond traditional boundaries?
Twitter summary of this presentation: "To engage students, let them create content that matters and contributes. Use digital tools to connect them constructively to the world."
I was invited to have a critical discussion on the ethics and political issues of the fashion industry and discuss the WEAR Sustain project aims and activities.

n September, at the
third annual Green
Carpet Fashion
Awards Italia, fiber
producer Aquafil
provided a design showstop-
per—a sustainable carpet
made with Econyl regener-
ated nylon that is created
from discarded fishing nets
and other nylon waste.
Covering Milan’s Piazza
della Scala, the green carpet
spanned more than 21,000
square feet and welcomed
celebrity guests including
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna
Wintour, fashion designer
Stella McCartney, actor
Colin Firth and actress
Sophia Loren.
The event celebrated fash-
ion houses’ commitment to
sustainability as they work to
embrace rapid change while
preserving the heritage and
authenticity of small-scale
producers. As in previous
years, the Econyl carpet was
produced in collaboration
with the Danish Company,
European manufacturer Ege
Carpets, and for the second
year, designed by Vogue
Editor Hamish Bowles.
“We are privileged to
partner with the Green
Carpet Fashion Awards
Italia for the third year run-
ning”, said Giulio Bonazzi,
Aquafil president and CEO
“Honoring the endless possi-
bilities offered by our Econyl
regenerated nylon, which
can be used both in fashion
and design, Aquafil is turn-
ing a waste problem into
exceptional solutions.”
Each year in the U.S., four
billion pounds of carpet
is tossed in landfills. Most
carpets are made primarily
from finite resources such as
oil-based plastics that could
be recycled, yet only 5% of
carpet waste is recycled. To
tackle the issue, Aquafil’s
Econyl fiber is 100% regen-
erated nylon yarn from
waste that is used widely in
commercial carpeting. To
make its fiber, the company
rescues waste from a number
of sources including fishing
nets, carpets, fabric scraps
and industrial plastic.
To help these recycled
fibers, Aquafil has a carpet
recycling plant in Phoenix
that opened in 2018 and has

Fast fashion is the much talked issue in the fashion arena in fashion world. The clothing which are
stylish, low cost and reproduce the present luxurious fashion trend, that reflect the desire of the young people
are the elements of fast fashion. This paper attempts the marketing, recycling and environment issues of fast
fashion as per the requirement of the globalised situation. As fast fashion changes fast by the fast response, it
makes huge dumps in the market and to finds out the new products. The rate of disposability affects the second
hand market for the recycling of the product by reuse of other group of people. On the other hand, disposability
of fashion products and it recycling process has a positive impact for the global environment for its
sustainability. Fast fashion has created a second hand fashion industry by its disposability, recycling and
marketing where it has a huge yearly turnover for capital investment. In has a great contribution to the global
economy as well. The research is on the basis of the thoroughly study with the reading materials from different
sources, mainly academic literature, research articles, conference and seminar articles, Master’s and Doctoral
thesis, dissertations. A qualitative research method approach has been adopted for this research. For the
convenience of the reader and future researchers, Analysis and Findings have done in the same time.

These presentations discuss the WEAR Sustain EU funded project, it's core mandate & mission, as well as the application themes, rules and proposal writing process.
This season, three New York City museums included clothing designed to improve accessibility in exhibitions on fashion and design. They featured innovations in adaptive technology expressed in textiles, clothing and accessories. In all three cases, the museums developed enhanced web sites and educational projects aimed at students, as well as attracting their usual general-interest audiences.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
