T Is For Training

The Disciplined Pursuit of Less https://youtu.be/hsFefdPhL3w was the start of our discussion today. The we talked about some questions related to helping others realize that they need to keep on learning, how to sneak it in and how do we keep our selves motivated to continue to improve ourselves.

We started talking about the ShapingEDU https://shapingedu.asu.edu/ conference at Arizona State University and Paul's Group Education and the Workforce of the future. then meandered into talking about library education expectation and the library people problem. Then we went into an overtime to talk about copyright.

We talked about using technology to bring folks together to learn and work together seamlessly..or not so seamlessly. Also talked about the upcoming ATD conferenc in Washington DC. https://atdconference.td.org/

We started with the 24-44 What did you learn in school today post https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/25-alternatives-whatd-learn-school-today and came to the conclusion that the questions help make for better facilitators and learners.

https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/20-ways-to-provide-effective-feedback-for-learning/ We talked based upon this article about which of these twenty ways we could/do use in our training experiences. We also did some acknowledgement of how bad we all were 10 plus years ago to our present selves. Jenica Rogers ( a longtime friend of the show) says it so ellegantly in her blog post Define A Natural http://www.attemptingelegance.com/?p=4784

So Paul, Jill and Diane walk into a podcast one day and all hell breaks loose. Talkshoe was not in a pleasant mood, so there were two shows recorded. One that was 38 Seconds in length and on that was 26 minutes in length.

Starting with the article from Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/palomacanterogomez/2018/12/30/make-use-of-these-top-7-tips-to-achieve-your-goals-in-2019/#6de14f6e5863 We talked about Planning for training expected and unexpected outcomes and how to make sure what you are doing fits into the organization's goals.

Using ELearning's https://elearningindustry.com/top-learning-development-trends-2018 Learning trends 2018 article as a start, we talked about the importance of each of the elements in a successful training, how a good learning session usually has a social element or three, how it is both an event and an experience. Good stuff.

Sparked by a conversation at the MDLIBTECH Conference we discussed ways of keeping vairous biases out of our training materials, classroom discussions, audience questions and our language as trainers and leaders. What we learned is that it is really hard to do.

Using the KQED Mindshift article https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/43049/20-tips-to-help-de-escalate-interactions-with-anxious-or-defiant-students as a jumping off point, we talked about how we as trainers and leaders can help those with learning anxiety or opposition learn with their fellow students.

Paul, Diane and Maurice Talked about how high school and college jobs prepared us for work. We talked a little bit about college type prep for the real world.

Guest Host Paul and Andrea talk future jobs skills training. https://tisfortraining.wordpress.com/2018/10/12/tisfortraing_235-im-not-doing-this-alone/ is the link to the blog post with notes. Thanks Paul and Andrea!

I guess this is our 10th anniversary show. We talk about the things that we discussed that had some lasting effect, our new and old friends of the show and what they are doing, how the show has changed our lives and what differences we see in the last 10 years. Because talkshoe, there may be a bit of dead air before the show starts. Or not. It's a dice roll really.

We talked about books on and not on the Talent LMS Blog list of books for the Learning Management Office. https://www.talentlms.com/blog/books-every-aspiring-chief-learning-officer-should-read/#Talent%20management%20books We added a few books that you will find on our blog at http://tisfortraining.wordpress.com

SEEMS LIKE TALKSHOE STARTED RECORDING EARLY. there is a bit of dead air. Fast forward to the 745 mark to start the show. Damn new interface. We talked the future of training and tried to look ahead (and look behind) 17 years to see what things will be needed to be successful learners and learning professionals and what the learners will expect from training. Then we talked about how we have to look past the language of many books to grab the important ideas that are buried in what can be considered difficult to read through language. Peter Drucker and Mark Twain were two examples of this. There were some other nuggets about the past and the future. Go ahead and listen.

Using an article from Medium.com Use ‘Metaphorical Scaffolding’ to Learn Hard Stuff we had a discussion that talked about how to do metaphorical training, how to keep up with pop culture to make sure your metaphors speak to your whole audience, and our current experience with the talkshoe interface, which has changed a bit.

We talked to author and friend Clark Quinn about his new book Millenials, Goldfish, and other training Misconceptions from ATD press.

We talked trends in training seen at conferences, and the value of showing up and participating

We talked Education tech, AI, AR and how each of these technologies can help and hinder learners and trainers.
