@LTHEchat A4. I try a mix of activities that encourage students to interact and do things while working with ideas - things I’ve found work well include role plays, Lego, graffiti, show and tell with photographs…
@LTHEchat A3. Feel is starts with sharing my own enthusiasm and curiosity. Also about working with diverse materials and creating spaces and opportunities for the students to work, play and think with content #LTHEchat
Teaching with Lego: @EdinburghUni’s @dswanton explains how using #Lego to demonstrate and apply lessons in class promotes play and interaction that leads to better engagement and peer discussion as part of active learning design #THECampus https://t.co/FqSZNFrycy
In this post, @dswanton describes the development of a hybrid field course for Year 3 students on the Masters of Geography programme. This alternative approach opened up practices of participation and observation, and innovative ways of study in the field

Daniel successfully defended his PhD “Enabling Assemblages” today (& received a special Dr badge). A big thankyou to his examiners @alxndrt & @CresswellTim. His PhD parents are very proud. @dswanton, @daniel_m_z
Q.6 Super important...with everything that's happening marking learning playful, fun and social seems like an effective way of engaging students #LTHEchat
A3 More zines. Seems more important than ever to time to go analogue and craft something. Also enjoying using padlet to bring in different voices, perspectives and examples #LTHE
A1. using lego to get students building and storying as a way of discussing readings on urban division; zines as an assessment to encourage students to craft accounts of fieldwork and think about ethics of knowledge making and sharing #LTHEchat
Practicing some more - decided to sketch a paper - and chose this new one by @kay_sambell and @ProfSallyBrown (link below)...I hope they like it, but given their expertise, I am expecting constructive feedback :)
