T Is For Training

How schools, students and teachers are dealing with the sudden shift to a virtual class space with physical school spaces shutting down instantly. What implications are there for student engagement? What about access to access? What about access to equipment? What about those dealing with stress at home and trying to keep up at the same time?

We talked about the ripple of COVID 19, preparations for these things, populations we serve who are under served and under insured. contingency plans and OMG WASH YOUR HANDS.

Do you homework when you are trying to be inclusive. Know your audience. Be humble. And honest. And make sure you have everyone in the room. Those who don't ______ like you are really important to have in the conversation.

Gender, Drag queens, Pronouns, and how to be inclusive to all who come into your place.

We talked cultural competencies, listening and trust. See our blog @ http://tisfortraining.wordpress.com for more details about the show and resources discussed.

End of year stuff....permanence, communities and outliving usefulness. Also, a bit about technology.

All about neurodiversity, accommodations, checking in and other things

And boy didn't it work at all...Yikes....I recorded a beginning trying to explain the truly horrible technology and connection issues. The official topic was how to help learners success with their preferred form of learning... but tuned into a tech problem of the day/week month.

Paul and Maurice experience some tech issues (thanks TS) because this article about using or not using tech in the classroom was our starting point. https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2019/06/11/tech-flop-when-not-to-use-technology-in-the-classroom/ We had a great conversation about the application of tech in learning.

After a brief hiatus, T is for Training is back in your earhole. We dispensed a bunch of tips for online teaching, training and learning along with some design tips, equipment tips and general computer safety and security tips.
