Inspiring Kids to Code Using Scratch and Other ToolsChad Mairn
In today’s age, it is important to have a basic understanding of computer programming, but it can be difficult to teach these skills to kids unless fun tools are introduced to help make programming easy. In this webinar, learn Scratch, a “programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art” that will teach “important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.” Other tools and applications will be covered to give kids practice programming while having fun!

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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

2. Aims and Objectives
● What’s expected in EYFS (Development Matters).
● What’s expected in KS1 (CS PoS objectives).
● What exactly is CT? (Concepts and approaches and
importance of laying the foundations in EYFS).
● Practical activities: 2 CT based EYFS units to try!
● Toolkit: Must have EYFS/KS1 apps for developing CT.
● Unplugged and Physical Computing
7. Stop Motion Animation (EYFS Unit 1)
A 6 week EYFS unit focussed on developing early CT (and IT) skills
http://www.jecomputing.co.uk/unit-1.html
Watch the WAGOLL.
What CT concepts do you think were covered?
What CT approaches do you think were covered?
8. Stop Motion Animation (EYFS Unit 1)
A 6 week EYFS unit focussed on developing early CT (and IT) skills
CT Concepts covered
Algorithms - planning the sequence
of steps in the form of a story map.
Decomposition: to get character from
one place in the scene to another
pupils had to break this down into a
series of small movements.
CT Approaches covered
Creating - pupils planned their animation, chose what
characters they wanted in it and what these
characters would do.
Debugging - pupils watched back and were able to
identify errors (e.g. when somebody had put a hand in
the way) and were able to delete the appropriate
frame and re-capture.
Perseverance - pupils were able to keep going until
they had 200 frames captured.
Collaborating - pupils worked in small groups with
each one assigned a particular role.
9. I Can Animate
Let’s have a go!
1. Plan a simple story map.
2. Open up I Can Animate iPad app.
3. Move your toy characters in sequence according to your story map. (Do
this in front of the green background so that you can later export it to the
Green Screen DoInk app). Make sure you capture 5 frames each time you
make a movement (129 frames will give you approx 10 seconds footage).
4. Export to the camera roll once finished!
10. Green Screen
Let’s have a go!
1. Open up Green Screen By Doink iPad app.
2. Import your video from the iPad camera roll.
3. Find and save an appropriate background image.
4. Add this background image in and adjust trimming as necessary, export
finished video to camera roll.
Note: In the example animation watched, further editing was done by me using
iMovie (music and titles added).

12. Instructional Photo Video Story (EYFS Unit
2)
Another 6 week EYFS unit focussed on developing early CT (and IT) skills
CT Concepts covered
Algorithms - planning the sequence of steps in
the form of a story map/flowchart. Focus on use
of instructional language.
Decomposition: Pupils broke down the overall
procedure of brushing their teeth into a
sequence of smaller tasks.
Logic - Pupils had to ask themselves ‘Does this
make sense?’ ‘Have I missed anything out?’
CT Approaches covered
Creating - pupils first planned their sequence of
instructions as a flowchart diagram
Debugging - pupils watched back and were able to
identify any errors, deleting if appropriate and
re-recording as many times as needed.
Perseverance - pupils were able to keep going until
they had given sufficiently accurate and precise
detailed steps.
Collaborating - pupils worked in pairs, testing and
supporting each other where necessary.
13. Shadow Puppet
Let’s have a go!
1. Decompose the process of making a crisp sandwich by recording each of
the separate steps in the form of a simple flowchart.
2. With your partner and using the equipment provided, take turns to capture
photos of you demonstrating each individual step.
3. Next, open up the Shadow Puppet iPad app, import your photos and
record your voice over instructions (remember you can also annotate your
images and add text as you are recording).
4. Export to the camera roll once finished!
14. iPad App Toolkit:
Must have EYFS/KS1 apps
A.L.E.X.
BEEBOT APP
BUGS AND BUTTONS
DAISY THE DINOSAUR
KODABLE
SCRATCH JNR
15. Unplugged Computing
Don’t underestimate the value of unplugged computing
activities, especially for developing early CT skills.
Remember that pupils need a range of experiences both
on and away from the screen.
www.code-it.co.uk
http://barefootcas.org.uk/
16. Physical Computing
BeeBots, Roamer, ProBots etc.
Have these easily accessible as part of your daily
continuous provision.
Encourage pupils to ‘Tinker.’
Have a series of learning challenges/activities to help
develop pupils ‘Debugging’ skills.
