Talk:Daniel Bedingfield

Untitled
I'm certain that it was a car crash that Daniel was involved in, not a wake boarding accident. Anyone else agree with me? (Istabo (talk) 23:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC))

"If You're Not The One" is widely considered as one of the best UK singles so far this decade" - Says who? Do you have a reference for this or is it just your opinion? If it's just your opinion, you must remove it. pomegranate 23:49, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * Well here's a quote from Simon Cowell:

"Which young solo singer around at the moment do you predict will go on to be as famous as Madonna or Michael Jackson?

Probably Daniel Bedingfield. He's a very, very good songwriter. He's naturally gifted and a very smart and talented guy. He's a rarity. He can just keep producing these brilliant songs. This year, he wrote one of the best pop songs I've ever heard - "If You're Not The One". I think he could be the next Elton John." Secfan 00:28, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, but that's not "widely considered" at all, is it? Perhaps you could said something like "Pop svengali Simon Cowell regards 'if you're not the one' as one of the best...." Otherwise it's an unjustifiable generalisation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pomegranate (talk • contribs)

Popworld
The sentence about Popworld in the Trivia section obviously belongs in the Music career section. I have not moved it there because the Music career section is written chronologically, and I have no idea where the appearance in Popworld fits in. Coyets 10:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Slavery link?
What is a link for "Stop the Traffik" doing on this page? 128.158.145.51 19:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Past tense?
Why is the opening paragraph written in the past tense if the subject of the article is alive?70.227.26.127 (talk) 04:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Has-been
Bedingfield's musical career is considered by many in the music business to be over. Doesn't say much for his so-called talent. Whether the reader of this comment agrees with this statement or not, it's pretty hard not to disagree with the fact that the wikipedia page here on him is oddly biased - basically it's a love letter to him.

Impartiality needed.

i think he is dead now —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.183.140 (talk) 23:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

World record holder - why?
Nothing I have read in this article indicates M. Bedingfield is a record holder in any sense of the phrase. I am removing his Category:World record holders category. If a later editor can prove (i.e., cite!) such notability, they can also re-add the cats. 71.234.215.133 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC).

2016 war of the worlds
i was a in a west end production of "Jeff Wane's musical edition of war of the worlds" in 2016, which occurred in the dominion theatre. In which Bedingfield played the artillery man and was fired part way through the run. i was a child at the time so i was never explicitly nor officially told but he was supposedly fired for showing up to or missing, more than one showing due to being intoxicated. i am in possession of mine and my siblings programmes containing his and my names. --Onit1234 (talk) 00:18, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Gotta get through this "recorded at home"
It needs to be fixed. The article claims the entire album was recorded at home, but the two links say no such thing. Both say he recorded the one song at home. At least one song has an orchestra which would have been impossible in a bedroom. Also on discogs.com- every song BUT gotta get through this lists sound engineers, meaning they were all recorded in a studio. https://www.discogs.com/release/5872186-Daniel-Bedingfield-Gotta-Get-Thru-This 2603:8080:7400:E6C:5F01:DCC8:A793:A60D (talk) 05:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Team player

Sandbox...
Also known as Chris Sciortino, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.108.1.15 (talk) 20:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

A team player is someone who places the well being of the team ahead of the well being of him-/herself. A team with members who act cooperatively and seek to achive the common goal functions better than a team with members that only focus on their own individual goals.

A team player will sometimes act in a way that might not be optimal for him as individual in the short term (in fact it might even be determental) in order to. This is called 'taking one for the team'.

Sometimes small individual sacrifice can drastically help other team members.

Geographical Association

The Geographical Association (GA) is an association in the United Kingdom. The organisation has a stated aim of improving geographical knowledge of the public through promoting geographical education.

Origins
The Geographical Association was formed by five geographers, including Halford John Mackinder, in 1893 as an independent, unincorporated association. The first members got together to use and exchange lantern slides, a leading technology of the day. The history of the first hundred years of the GA was published in 1993 and a more recently a chronological list of key people, events and achievements of the association up to the present day has been produced.

The current purpose remains the development of a community of practice for sharing teaching ideas, innovations and understanding about geographical education, but the GA also serves as a voice for and represents the interests of geography teachers in policy and practice initiatives through engagement with government.

Constitution and Operation
The GA has approximately 10,000 members. These include primary and secondary teachers, trainee teachers (student teachers), teacher educators, academics, geography students, infant, primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, academies, libraries, societies, museums and businesses. Although a UK-based organisation, there are members in more than 60 countries with strong links between geographical organisations in the USA, Australia and Europe. Its core activities are financed by membership subscriptions.

The Geographical Association was incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 on 28 January 2010 as a private company limited by guarantee (company number 07139068). Charitable status was subsequently conferred by the Charity Commission on 24 March 2010, under registration number 1135148. The GA had previously existed as an unincorporated association (registered charity number 31329) since its formation in 1893. The main motivation for the change in the legal structure of the GA in 2010 was the purchase of property, in the form the land and buildings that it had been occupying since 1997.

The GA is governed by a Board of 14 Directors. They are the legal members of the Geographical Association limited company and also its Trustees. This Board is called the Governing Body. The power to appoint Members of the Governing Body rests with the Governing Body itself, but the wider membership of the GA may, by means of the election procedures set out in the By-laws, make nominations for membership of the Governing Body. The Governing Body also has the power to co-opt up to three individuals (within the total of 14) to fill specialist roles.

Members make considerable input to the work and activities of the Association through voluntary contributions of time and expertise. Key aspects of geography education are developed through special interest groups and phase committees.

There is a network of 41 affiliated regional branches of the GA. Each branch has an autonomous constitution, broadly similar to the national association. Branches organise lectures for post-16 students, teachers and general public and a programme of professional development activities for teachers. Many run a regional Worldwise geographical quiz competition.

The education policy of GA is formulated by a representative Education Group, which oversees the activities of its Phase Committees, Special Interest Groups and Communications Boards.

In broad terms the priorities, plans and achievement goals for the GA are set out in a 5-year strategic plan which identifies the three key aims of the Association for 2014-19. These are 1. Meet professional and educational needs, 2. Demonstrate the value of geographical education, and 3. Use (the GA's) resources efficiently and sustainably.

The GA Office and headquarters is in Sheffield with a core body of professional staff who provide day-to-day and strategic services under the leadership of an appointed Chief Executive.

Activities
Publications: Journals

The GA publishes three professional journals for members on a termly basis (three issues each year, based on the different phases of education viz. Primary Geography, Teaching Geography (aimed at Secondary/High school teachers) and Geography - its flagship international journal for post-16 students, undergraduates, teachers and lecturers. Geography publishes articles by leading geographers and geography educators that provide summaries and reviews of contemporary geographical topics and developments in geography education. The aim is to help 'recontextualise' the discipline of geography for educational purposes and also be a means for university academics to keep in touch with the school subject.

Publications: Geography resources

The GA produces and sells a range of resources and guidance materials for teachers for Early Years through to Post-16 teachers. These include the geographical adventures of a teddy bear called 'Barnaby Bear' (A Trade Marked product) for primary-aged children, Handbooks for primary and secondary school teachers, 'Toolkits' providing curriculum planning advice and lesson ideas for secondary school teachers, and a series of 'Top Spec Geography' booklets on contemporary topics aimed at AS/A2 level students. In addition at a more general level, the catalogue includes a series interpretive guides to areas of 'classic' landforms and the exploration of cities and how they have been shaped.

Social Media for geography teachers

News and information for geography teachers is disseminated via the GA website, Facebook page and Twitter feed. The GA also facilitates a series of Ning networks and communities for geography teachers and educators.

Resources for geography teachers

The GA website is a platform and depository for teaching ideas and resources. These are frequently updated as new geographical events occur or innovations in geography teaching approaches are developed.

A manifesto for geography education

In 2009 the GA published a document 'A Different View' describing geography as 'one of humanity's big ideas' aimed at making a compelling case for geography's place in the curriculum, demonstrating the practical importance of 'real world' geography and the value of geographical thinking.

Campaigning for geography

The Geographical Association engages with policy makers and government ministers to constantly make the case for geography, with a strong involvement in curriculum reviews and Government education consultations. From 2006- 2011 the Geographical Association and RGS-IBG jointly led the government-funded Action Plan for Geography.

Geography subject leadership

The Geographical Association develops geography subject leadership at all levels, from new teachers during their initial training, to geography co-ordinators in primary schools, to secondary heads of department.

Annual conference

An annual conference rotates between locations in the north, midlands and south e.g. Manchester (2016), Guildford (2017) and offers a varied programme of lectures, talks, workshops and a large exhibition of geography education resources and published materials. The conference also includes a free public lecture and an awards event.

Training Courses

The Geographical Association runs a programme of continuing professional development events in different locations around the country.

Quality Marks The GA operates a scheme whereby schools or geography departments can apply to be recognised for quality and progress and creative thinking in geography leadership, curriculum development, learning and teaching in school. The scheme encourages a development process using a self-assessment framework with submitted of examples of geography planning, lessons and students' work. Awards are made by a scrutiny panel of expert teachers. The awards are available for primary and secondary schools and are offered at Bronze, Silver and Gold Standards. Successful schools can apply for recognition as a Centre of Excellence. Evidence from schools that have used the Geography Quality Mark scheme indicates they find the evaluative framework a powerful and enabling tool for curriculum development.

Worldwise

The GA operates a series of activities to engage students directly under the banner 'Worldwise'. Activities include local and online geography quizzes, photo competitions, an essay competition and a fieldwork challenge weekend.

Funded projects

Over a number of years the Geographical Association has established itself as a leading force in the development of innovative geography projects in partnership with a variety of high-profile funders, e.g. the government-funded 'Global Learning Programme' and the British Council 'Connecting Classrooms' programme aimed at developing critical thinking and problem solving in geography. The GA has been a partner or participant in a range of Europe-wide projects e.g. GeoCapabilities Project.
