Playing catch-up: games and play in the wider culture and in the libraryPhilip Minchin
Play and games are set to be the media of the 21st Century in the same way audiovisual media were of the 20th. But libraries have largely ignored the tremendous importance (and potential) of these new media, making little to no effort to include them in collections except as they do so easily, and even ignoring games that come in book form. There has been little effort to curate games and play, cultivate deeper and broader critical appreciation in the public, or even apply accurate taxonomies. (And if you know librarians, that really says something about the size of the blind spot!)
This presentation, delivered at the Australian Library & Information Association's 7th New Librarians' Symposium (ALIA's NLS7), outlines the foundational reasons why games and play actually matter a lot more than our culture likes to think, and especially to libraries; it also offers some pointers for making this case to existing library institutions, and how to negotiate a system that is almost completely blind to the value of play.

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.
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.
