Super pleased to announce the programme for #PracticalPedagogy1 . There will be three streams of talks for a full day of practical pedagogy.

chrisheadleand.com/practical-peda…

Please share with your colleagues and institutions. It is going to be great!
[thread]
The #PracticalPedagogy1 conference is the natural evolution of the @pedPancakes seminars, and it sits as part of that initiative. It will be a unique, fun, and fruity blend of academic development and knowledge exchange - all with in a friendly and supportive community [2/8]
You can register via the website, or directly on Eventbrite. lncn.ac/practical

Tickets are available on a "pay what you want" donation model. This is an experiment; there are a number of running costs, but we want to keep the event as inclusive as possible. [3/8]
A huge thank you to all the people who have made submissions. I am always amazed by how supportive the HE community is. This went from a small event to something quite serious rather quickly - your participation has made this possible, thank you for that! [4/8]
Also, a huge thank you to the committee (see website) and reviewers (see website) who have double-blind reviewed every submission. It has been a huge amount of work in a short amount of time. This has been so appreciated, thank you! [5/8]
And a massive thank you to the team at @talis who have been supporting the event. Especially @mdleast who has also joined the team and offered support as panel chair. There are so many great people at Talis who have just been so supportive (not just for this) [6/8]
Are students welcome (I hear you cry)-- of course they are! If you work with any students who are interested in education, or are current peer mentors/tutors, please bring them along. Our engagement officer @hollytyers from @PsychLincoln is helping loads here [7/8]
We are currently working on plans for a special issue to come out of the conference. All authors will receive details of this at a later stage. However, all are also encouraged to submit their materials to @NTRepository / @belld17 and @drntasler - details on website [8/Done]
@UoLEdSoc - Any of your members interested in coming along?

[Face to Face Apprehension Thread]

After 18 months teaching online I recently taught my first face to face "large" lecture as part of the @UniofLincolnSWC WOW summer school. Honestly, I had forgotten how much I loved delivering an in-person session. But it made me think [1/20]
Firstly, the student's were clearly apprehensive themselves. Many new students, will have spent much of the last two years online or in small isolated bubbles. University transition is challenging for most students, but next years will come with a unique experience [2/20]
Current students, will have had the vast majority of their university experience online. Many will find the transition back to majority face to face learning especially difficult and will need some support to make that transition. [3/20]

Some ideas for online icebreakers (Teams Calls, Zoom etc).

1) "Post a GIF Response" Ask students a question that can be answered with a GIF. For example "Post a GIF that describes your hopes and dreams" - Really fun way to enable a little creativity and humour. [1/n]
2) "Top Tips" Ask everyone in the meeting for their top tip around a common subject. For example "Post a tip for cooking your favourite dish" [2/n]
3) "The Cup Game" get three cups, put an object under one of them. Take a photo of your three upturned cups and ask "which has the object hidden". give your students a few seconds to place their bets (polling apps useful) then share a photo showing which cup it was. [3/n]

Building Simple Games in #MicrosoftForms [thread]

Games can be a great way to engage students, and there are loads of ways to play games in a face to face session. However, with the shift to online/blended learning, we need some new approaches. This is one in MSForms [1/11]
There is a type of game called a "branching narrative game" these games are non-linear and provide experiences that vary based on the decisions that the player makes throughout the game. If you have played a narrative-driven game, you will likely have experienced this [2/11]
Microsoft Forms (and most other form engines) have the ability to create branched question structures (useful for surveys) - which could lend themselves to creating low-fi versions of these branching games. Just create your questions and click "Add Branching" [3/11]

Dyslexia and Inclusive Online Education (A Thread).

To start this one off I want to stress that much of this is from my experience. I'm dyslexic. However, dyslexia is a broad spectrum. Not every dyslexic student will be like me, and I am not like every dyslexic student. [1/n]
I wanted to frame this with a little bit of my personal experience... because it will put some of my tips and ideas into a little context. My experience has also framed many of my positions regarding the attainment gap for disabled students. [2/n]
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 7 years old in 1992. At the time this was pretty rare, as the formal guidance was that students shouldn't be assessed until they were older... but my presentation was pretty acute to say the least [3/n]

Pastoral Care in the digital classroom. I've been thinking a lot about how we support the learning community, and how we develop/deploy pastoral activities into the online space. I did some whiteboarding earlier and thought I'd share some thoughts and ideas I've had [thread]
Firstly, I've started with the assumption that we may go into lockdown again (nationally, locally, or a quarantined bubble) removing the opportunity for face to face engagement. I've also assumed that people's home environment will be vastly different. (2/n)
For some people, home is a nurturing and supportive environment, for others, it isn't. Even if that home environment isn't unhappy, it could still be disruptive with its own unique challenges. "Awkward" housemate relationships are often flagged during pastoral engagements (3/n)
