 Mae ydych chi'n gynhwys Matlingard a rwy'n gweithio Frank Steiner ar Y LCC. Rwy'n gweithio rydw i ddweud cymdeithasol ar gyfer y dynodigol sydd wedi'i gweithio'r ysgolwydau finalistau, sy'n ddweud yn ffantastig. Rwy'n gweithio'r ddweud, ac yn y ddechrau'r diolch rwy'n gweithio'r ysgolwydau mewn ysgolwyddiadol ar y sgolwyddiadol. Frank, mae'n ddweud eich cymdeithio y LCC, ydych chi'n gweithio'r Frank Steiner. Yma, Franck Stanna. Some of you might know me. I'm a marketing manager for ULCC. Work with Met in the Auto Publications Committee. I have some involvement with Alton. ULCC is a sponsoring member of ALT, and we're sponsoring the award this year, so I'm quite pleased to be here and talk about it. I was saying we had just come from the showcase itself, which I thought was fantastic. Gofyn, efo'r cwmwysbyn nesaf yw'n cael eu bod yn ôl i'r awhwyd, yma weld eich uchydig yw'r amser ar ymol? Wel, rai'n gwneud i'r awhwyd, oherwydd tref yn ymhyngh gyd, a yn y gwahod oligwn gwadd arweigion FGE un i ddefnyddio â'r rhannu, ddim yn gwneud i ymhwylliant, y mae'r hyn iawn o'r ddechrau arweigion. Ond rwy'n meddwl i'n meddwl i'n i'n i wych, yna nhw'n nid ydaf ni'n rhoi dweud o gweithio â oeddiwyddio platform to, when I don't want to shout about it, but sort of praise them or give them some sort of form where they can show what they've done and reward some good work and outstanding work or interesting work. And I think, sort of for me that's the main reason we got involved with it and I started talking tomorrow and probably at conference last year, I said, you know, if there's a chance for us to get involved and, you know, sponsor the award and support some of the prizes and we'd be happy to do it because it is, you know, it's a good course. It's a nice way to sort of highlight some of the work that's been going on in, you know, the different pockets and areas. It is and you picked up on successor. I thought, I mean, the quality this morning of the finalists was really great. Yeah, I mean, I think it's the quality. I mean, the one thing that surprised me, and I just spoke a bit earlier about it, but mine as well is, I think, just the spread and depth, if you like. Like I said just earlier, it used to be sort of very agey focus, but now, you know, we had a school, we had a few colleges, and it's just good to see that sort of those sectors that might, if you like, been on the fringe sort of getting a bit more attention now because I think there's a lot of good stuff happening, you know, across the education sector. And I think, you know, as far as I know, it's an altered interest to highlight everything, you know, and to just focus on one and the agey sector. So I think it's a really good thing. And no, it's some really interesting stuff that's been done there. Absolutely, I mean, I think it is really important to highlight the successes and to actually shout about them, you know, and there were some fantastic projects this morning, both for the individual award and for the team award. So, I think we started off with the school project, which I missed, I have to admit that. Which is the talk-aloud team, and I've actually forgotten the name of the school, which you probably shouldn't admit live one hour, but it was a fascinating project where the students had been using audio boom to work on their spoken skills, as I say, at a primary school. And it was a fantastic example of a child who we heard before and after the project. I don't know if you made it for that. I picked up on the data stream, but it really showed what a great project it's been. And then some of the other teams that were there, we had the film buffs, which I think you were saying you were impressed by. Well, I think it's an interesting sort of idea to, you know, have some visual or audio visual guides for using machinery and tools and do certain tasks. I mean, I know I'd rather like to watch a video probably than read a manual. And it's interesting to see how it helps. I mean, I was talking to Maron and she said that, you know, one of the effects has been that some female students got into sort of more hands-on joinery type things because they've seen another female student do it. And it's sort of things we sometimes forget and we're not aware of that there are some barriers to entry and some sort of gender-based bias, if you like. And it sort of helps break that down. I think it's a great way. I mean, I wouldn't mind watching a journal because it could probably teach me a few things. But no, it's some great stuff. I mean, they use QR codes. I know there's split views on QR codes, but it seems to work for them in that context and that's great to see. So it's sometimes picking the right tools for the right situation and I think that's an important message across all the contestants, I think. And we also had a couple more teams. The Nottingham team, I think the Paris team they're called, they've been doing the nukes here at Nottingham. I thought, another fantastic project. I was a bit taken aback when I first heard Paris and I was like, oh, what's going on? I don't know, did I make clear what the acronym starts with because I wasn't too sure. We have to look at that. I'm not sure. I couldn't expand it, but it's an OEL project that they've created masses of resources that have been made available internationally. No, I mean, that was very interesting. It was good to see that they, I mean, what I liked about their approach is sort of getting the people involved across the seniority, if you like, because, you know, their vice chancellor got involved, people on the ground, and it's sort of, it's a sort of, you have a sort of shared and common goal and it gets people behind it. And, you know, everybody has a stake and wants it to do well and has an investment, you know, emotionally and personally. And it's, that was a good thing to see and find. Dave, one of the other things that came through strongly for me this morning was the fact that a lot of this work was unfunded. I think the Tech Five team was the other team. Well, I think it goes to show that sometimes, you know, I mean, you know, obviously there's a need for funding and, you know, you need support for, you know, people to supervise things and support projects. But I think sometimes it's, there's so much free technology out there you can use. So it's you, as long as you have a good idea and some passion, I think you can, you can do great things. And I think that's, you know, one of the good things about the time we live in, I find this like you don't have to pay through the nose or write big funding application and wait for grants. It's like you can just get on and do it. I mean, the one interesting thing I find about the Nottingham College, sort of where their project is, it seems like a very, we focus on the learner. It's not, it's not like someone in the college having an agenda. It's okay. Let's talk to those people and find out what they want to do and sort of almost set up an environment where they can be creative and just get on with it. And I think that's, you know, it's an interesting approach because I think it's difficult for some people because you lose control in a sense. And I know that, you know, you sometimes you want to know everything is going according to plan and I'm a German. But yes, it's very interesting. And I mean, they went to the U.S. and presented in front of Twitter and Google CEO. So I mean, kudos to them. That's great. Great. And I think there are a few people who picked up on that about listening to the learner. And obviously it's one of the themes of the conference. It's all about the learner. That was good. We had a couple of individual finalists speaking this morning as well. We had Sheila McNeill from, let me get that right, Cetis. And although she's up for the individual award, she did want to make the point that there's a team behind her, the team that nominated her actually, which was quite amusing. And they play a really important role or she's played a really important role in the community. I mean, it's one of the things which, again, is probably one of the reasons we got involved with the award is it's nice to see that someone tries and highlights some of those pockets of innovation and good practice. And I mean, Cetis is doing a good job. I mean, as you know, I'm a bit of a social media pool. But it's nice to see that there are real benefits in sort of getting yourself out there, getting your opinion out there, highlighting other people's opinion and just get a sort of dialogue going and just letting people know you do something. Because it is sort of unless you tell someone how, I suppose. I mean, I know it sounds really nonsensical, but it's true. It's true. And the great thing about them is that they have the time to do that for the community. Because I think when you're working on things individually, it's hard to find the time to do the project, but then find time to share with the wider community because it's quite hard. That's something Sheila picked up on because she said it's, you know, you just want to get your project done and sort of everything else is an afterthought and, you know, they're almost there to support you and help you and highlight some of the stuff you might not have time to do. Exactly. It's a really important role and hopefully the conference plays a role in sharing good practice as well. And then the other person speaking today was Gloria Visitini from Bristol. Not a big tech project, but still a really important one. No, I was quite surprised. I wondered when the tech comes into a talk, to be honest. But it's, you know, as a sort of multi-person, I'm actually quite, I like the angle of, you know, you need to communicate, you need to get people on board. You know, it's almost a sort of lobbying type role. You sometimes have to play and convincing people that something is the right approach or they should focus more, be more aware. And I think she said it's like, you know, you really have to communicate and you, I don't know who said it, somewhat famous, that's like, you can never communicate enough. So it's like, you know, even when you think it's all been said and done, there's still someone who, you know, maybe didn't get it or didn't listen or it wasn't explained in a way that can get ahead around it. So it's a challenge, I think. OK, well, thanks very much for your time, Frank. Thank you to ULCC for sponsoring the award. Hopefully we can continue to have this relationship next year. The final thing for me to say is that the winners of the award will be announced this evening around 7 o'clock. So it's not going to be broadcast live. However, there'll be lots of information on the website tomorrow about the winners of the award. OK, thanks Frank. Thank you.
