For this episode of The Chrome Cast, we're trying something a bit different. Instead of trying to cover a week's worth of stuff in a single, 90-minute show, we're going to break our episodes into topic-specific segments and publish more often. This way, you don't have to give over an hour to listen and we have the flexibility to jump in and produce a new episode with a bit more ease. It's a win-win! For this episode, our discussion topic circles around the issues with ChromeOS 119 and the missing Chromebook Plus features that could be happening because of it. On Friday, I realized my Chromebook Plus features were simply gone from the Flex 5i, and after a bit more digging, I also realized ChromeOS 119 has been pulled from the Omaha server responsible for pushing updates to all Chromebook devices. Something's off for sure, and if you've been affected by it, this episode should provide a bit of insight.

This week on The Chrome Cast, our discussion is largely dominated by the naming mess that Chromebook Plus is facing right now. Sure, there are 8 “new” Chromebook Plus devices that were launched with the announcement, but as of mid-October, a bunch of other existing devices also got the full Chromebook Plus upgrade. The issue? If you don't know better and walk into a store or are browsing online, looking for Chromebook Plus (as the marketing is pushing consumers to do), you may pass on many fantastic devices that are Chromebook Plus through-and-through but don't have anything in the listing to tell you that is the case. Think of the Acer Chromebook 516 GE, a device I've lauded for nearly a year at this point as one of my favorite devices. As I type this right now on that exact device, it kills me to think consumers may walk right by it simply because there's no label that tells them this is a Chromebook Plus. The fix would be a simple name change and inclusion for devices like this in any and all Chromebook Plus marketing, but I don't know if or when we'll get there.

In this podcast episode, we are going to focus on the newest generation joining us in the workplace—Generation Alpha! Resources: Learning & Development A Multi-Generational Workforce Is a Force for Good MRA Membership About MRA Let's Connect: Guest Bio - Amanda Mosteller Guest LinkedIn Profile - Amanda Mosteller Host Bio - Sophie Boler Host LinkedIn Profile - Sophie Boler Transcript: Transcripts are computer generated -- not 100% accurate word-for-word. 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:21:03 Unknown Hello everybody and welcome to 30 minute Thrive, your go to podcast for anything and everything HR, powered by MRA, the Management Association. Looking to stay on top of the ever changing world of HR? MRA has got you covered. We'll be the first to tell you what's hot and what's not. I'm your host, Sophie Boler and we are so glad you're here. 00:00:21:05 - 00:00:44:20 Unknown Now it's time to thrive. Well, welcome, everybody. We are so glad you're here and I hope you're ready to talk generations today, specifically on one that you may have never heard before. So never before. There have been five generations in the workforce and each generation, as you know, has their own quirks, styles, likes, dislikes, ways to work, communicate, and even learn. 00:00:44:22 - 00:01:11:06 Unknown So in this podcast episode, specifically, we're going to be focusing on the newest generation joining us in the workplace, and that is Generation Alpha. So it looks like Gen Alpha is the group of generation following generation Z. So Gen X'ers are born in the early 2010's going through the early 2020s. So we know and are finding that each generation brings something really unique to the table. 00:01:11:08 - 00:01:47:13 Unknown So. Amanda Mosteller, MRA's director of talent Development, is joining me today to talk about Gen Alpha how you should really update your L&D strategy to include these Gen Alpha learners. Make sure to stay tuned throughout the episode and we'll tell you how you can win a podcast swag item at the end. Just exciting little note there. But Amanda, we know we now know who Gen Alphas are, but really my first question to you is why is it essential for organizations to now adapt their training and development strategies for this generation? 00:01:47:15 - 00:02:21:09 Unknown When I think about Gen Alpha, I have this case study across the hall and it's my kids. They were born in 2010. We all went through this interesting thing, maybe you've heard of it called a global pandemic. And that pandemic expedited lots of things for all generations. One of the things that expedited for Gen Alpha that is different than other generations is integrated learning in school. 00:02:21:09 - 00:02:21:24 Unknown So 00:02:21:24 - 00:02:40:10 Unknown I'm not talking about adult learning theory principles versus child learning theory principles. We're not going into Andrew versus pedagogy here, but what we are going to talk about is being used to what the source of knowledge plays a part in for for these kids. So 00:02:40:10 - 00:02:46:21 Unknown in most of Gen Alpha was fourth grade or younger when the pandemic hit. 00:02:46:23 - 00:03:11:04 Unknown Prior to that, teachers in the classroom did a lot of teaching to the whole group from the front, doing activities, walking around and helping. They weren't putting elementary school kids into these Google class type structures at such a young age. They were doing that more in high school and certainly in college. 00:03:11:04 - 00:03:21:13 Unknown But the pandemic launched an expedited ETD, putting kids at younger ages into these platforms to learn things. 00:03:21:15 - 00:03:49:18 Unknown What that has done is changed their expectation of what the knowledge expert in the room's function is and how they learn. So Gen Z would have started doing that in college, mostly older. Gen Z. It wasn't until college younger, Gen Z, maybe in high school, some certainly not in elementary school, but now it's embedded in elementary school from like third and fourth grade on. 00:03:49:20 - 00:04:18:21 Unknown Because the schools put money into these platforms. They have licenses, they might as well use them. Right. And so the reason it's important for us to think about is because a lot of organizations are still hanging on to e-learning or instructor led training, possibly blended where we do some e-learning, pre class and post class. But that's as as diverse as we're getting in our strategy. 00:04:18:23 - 00:04:43:01 Unknown But Gen Z doesn't is looking for something different and Gen Alpha won't even understand it. Let's say. Why on earth are you doing it this way? That's not what the source of truth does. That's not their role in my learning. So it's time now because we have four years before they'll be the oldest part of that generation. To your point of the early 20 tens. 00:04:43:03 - 00:04:51:01 Unknown My kids are born in 2010 and depending on which sociologist time range, you look at 2010, somewhere between there and 2012 00:04:51:01 - 00:04:55:23 Unknown is Gen Alpha. So so they're halfway through eighth grade, everybody. 00:04:55:23 - 00:05:14:21 Unknown But it's, you know, four years until they are eligible for full time work. And so we have four years to really look at how we deliver training now, recognize how it might not even be meeting Gen Z and really not diversified in our strategy to meet Gen Alpha. 00:05:14:21 - 00:05:32:10 Unknown So that's why now's the time to be thinking about this. Well, absolutely. And I know you you kind of touched on some of these points, but I'm interested in knowing some of the key characteristics and really preferences of Gen Gen Alpha when it comes to learning and development. Yeah, 00:05:32:10 - 00:05:34:15 Unknown they're wanting 00:05:34:15 - 00:05:36:07 Unknown more and more 00:05:36:07 - 00:06:02:14 Unknown for the knowledge expert to be their guide to where to find the information and to bounce ideas and discussion off of, to make sure that they're understanding it, but they're not looking for the instructor or the facilitator, or for the learning strategy to be a source of truth, teaching it to them in an in-classroom or B in E learning lengthy E 00:06:02:14 - 00:06:13:11 Unknown learnings, overproduced E learnings, and they check out they're not looking for that. What they're looking for is and I'm going to age myself here, 00:06:13:11 - 00:06:26:24 Unknown my generation might remember and maybe remember Sophie, the Choose Your Path books. So you would read a book and you would get to a page and they would say, okay, you can choose to walk into the scary woods or turn around and go back. 00:06:26:24 - 00:06:45:16 Unknown If you choose to walk into the woods, turn to page 37. If you choose to go back, turn to page 46, and then you would go read if you essentially like, made it to the next stage or something horrible was usually it was a creepy book. It was You should it's something that ends the story for you and you have to go back and choose the other way. 00:06:45:18 - 00:07:05:16 Unknown But younger Gen Zs and Gen Alpha, they're looking for that kind of choose my path in learning. And I don't mean my career path. I mean how I want to learn, how I want information delivered to me, what helps for me and let me make those choices. Let me control that. 00:07:05:16 - 00:07:11:06 Unknown And the knowledge experts are there. Guide in how to find that information. 00:07:11:06 - 00:07:29:01 Unknown What might be helpful. They might come back and say, you know, as I was watching this short, short video or I was reading that blog, you you had the internal blog you have and I want to talk to you about this because I'm trying to understand this concept and how it works in my role. That's what they're looking for. 00:07:29:01 - 00:07:53:21 Unknown They want guidance. They don't want to have to rely on the person to come on Tuesday from 8 to 4 and tell them because they're that they're in class now in school. My kids, for example, are being shown where all the resources are to find the information within like the first 10 minutes of a new subject. And then they might have three days where they're meeting all different kinds of things all on their own. 00:07:53:21 - 00:07:55:01 Unknown So all through 00:07:55:01 - 00:07:58:23 Unknown 90 million different platforms that I have to try and follow to make sure they're doing their homework. But 00:07:58:23 - 00:08:20:10 Unknown that's what they're used to. Their their teachers are learning partners now. They're not the single source of truth. So that's what they're expecting when they come in to a learning strategy of you go to these classes during the first week and then after your first 30 days, you go to these classes every Monday and then you have these E learnings to finish between it between 30 and 60 days. 00:08:20:10 - 00:08:24:08 Unknown And look how diverse we are because we do some in class and some online 00:08:24:08 - 00:08:25:05 Unknown and they would be like 00:08:25:05 - 00:08:33:09 Unknown certain article about that. There are some thing I can go find that without having to do either of those prior. 00:08:33:09 - 00:08:50:11 Unknown Well I know we talked about that Gen Z is similar to Gen Alpha in a lot of ways, but what would make this new Generation Alpha different from Gen Z and how they choose or their content and how that content is really delivered? 00:08:50:12 - 00:08:53:22 Unknown Yeah, a couple of key differences. 00:08:53:22 - 00:09:00:10 Unknown One is I mentioned it kind of in the beginning of our chat for a Gen Z. 00:09:00:10 - 00:09:17:21 Unknown This the source of truth being the guide and lots of resources and we don't come to a room five days a week for this. We do it in lots of ways. That really kicked off for older Gen Zs. 00:09:17:21 - 00:09:25:10 Unknown We're talking college like that just didn't happen until college for younger Gen Z sort of in high school. 00:09:25:10 - 00:09:39:01 Unknown And the difference, like I was mentioning in Gen Alpha, we're talking elementary school now you're doing this as they learn how to learn, which I think is really important for us to recognize. These are the shaping years where they learn how to learn. 00:09:39:05 - 00:09:43:20 Unknown I'm teaching my kids how to study. I am teaching them what deadlines mean. 00:09:43:20 - 00:10:08:15 Unknown You get homework done in a certain time. A lot of a lot of our kids, depending on your districts and stuff, but they don't possibly do homework or not until they're kind of older. So deadlines and turning things in on a certain time for my kids over the past couple of years has been like that is in and of itself something I'm teaching them the importance of 00:10:08:15 - 00:10:09:21 Unknown even that 00:10:09:21 - 00:10:10:18 Unknown is negotiable. 00:10:10:18 - 00:10:24:18 Unknown At my son's school, there's a time that it's due and then the teachers will say, Hey, it's missing, and then he'll have like two weeks to go and go get that finished and turned in and he gets full, quote, grades for it throwing me off. But 00:10:24:18 - 00:10:31:12 Unknown that's one one key difference is this is happening much younger than the other generations. 00:10:31:14 - 00:10:42:18 Unknown And for the other generations, it was just kind of nice and part of being an adult. Now. And for our for Gen Alpha, it's shaping how they learn because this is what's happening at this still early stages of their life. 00:10:42:18 - 00:10:52:14 Unknown The second key difference is everyone talks about, you know, tick tock or YouTube shorts or these types of things less 00:10:52:14 - 00:10:53:14 Unknown produced 00:10:53:14 - 00:10:56:05 Unknown shorter snippets, much more 00:10:56:05 - 00:10:59:06 Unknown authentic, much easier to connect to the person 00:10:59:06 - 00:11:07:07 Unknown for Gen Alpha that is part of everyday everything, including now they're not going to tick tock in school. 00:11:07:09 - 00:11:31:13 Unknown I don't think. I don't think not right. I don't think teachers are saying that, but they have, you know, as his wife, my son will they'll be introducing a new history thing and his teachers will have copied and embedded in their discussion boards these really short little like YouTube shorts kind of videos of somebody with their phone introducing a topic. 00:11:31:13 - 00:11:35:08 Unknown And they might have do cutaways to different scenes from a movie or something 00:11:35:08 - 00:11:58:18 Unknown very much like that. Gen Z While they are totally on the Tik-tok train and Facebook is for old people and all of that jazz stuff where the YouTube generation actually they're more younger, millennials and Gen Zs are more into the YouTube source, which while still my own video system, I'm 00:11:58:18 - 00:12:07:11 Unknown still accepting of green screens, still accepting of that kind of sort of produce, not overly produced, but that's kind of okay, 00:12:07:11 - 00:12:09:01 Unknown younger Gen Z. 00:12:09:01 - 00:12:22:05 Unknown And certainly as you get into Gen Alpha, as is, I try to show my son really neat produce created videos. He completely checks out and walks away. If I pull up something that someone did with their phone, he's like, sucked in. Yes. 00:12:22:05 - 00:12:32:15 Unknown It's going to change how we create that video content, I think. And where organizations invest their learning strategy dollars to create some on demand content, what does that need to look like? 00:12:32:17 - 00:12:42:07 Unknown Does it need to be as as fanciful as we make it? I don't know that it does. Yeah. No, absolutely. I feel like they they want the content that looks like a 00:12:42:07 - 00:12:47:16 Unknown not an over over sort of or overproduced, like you said, Tik tok like 00:12:47:16 - 00:13:06:22 Unknown something that they can relate to and they can relate to a Tik Tok of someone who just pulled out their phone and started talking and showing them how to do something, but they might not necessarily be able to relate to someone who is put together a whole production with, like you said, along a longer video showing you how to do something. 00:13:06:22 - 00:13:31:07 Unknown So I totally understand that and get that. Yeah. Yeah. So you mentioned that organizations do need to start thinking about this now and they have a few years now to start kind of rethinking their strategy. So going after that, what is really a primary difference in how an organization's development strategy currently would want to consider adjusting to integrate this next generation? 00:13:31:07 - 00:13:41:01 Unknown Learner What I love that you use the phrase integrate because what I would never encourage an organization to do is pivot 00:13:41:01 - 00:14:01:17 Unknown that generation and completely exclude the fact that, as you said in our opener, there are four other generations work for us still here. Just added one, right? We're bringing in some new folks that don't learn at all the way I mean, the way they're looking to learn in the way Gen X is looking to learn and how we're used to it. 00:14:01:19 - 00:14:05:19 Unknown I should say it's not even looking to learn. It's what we're used to and therefore comfortable with 00:14:05:19 - 00:14:14:18 Unknown polar opposites. Right? But Gen X is still there. Elder millennials like myself, we're still here, Baby boomers are still there, and 00:14:14:18 - 00:14:19:06 Unknown on boards at least, you know, the traditionalist generation, my father 00:14:19:06 - 00:14:22:15 Unknown that may even be on a board. It would be terrifying, but he would be on board. 00:14:22:17 - 00:14:26:09 Unknown They're still around, right? So how are we 00:14:26:09 - 00:14:47:10 Unknown a What I have seen success in and what I am encouraging organizations to do is integrate strategies that will include that next generation while not throwing the baby out with the bathwater and getting rid of your existing strategies that include the generations that are still within our workforce, 00:14:47:10 - 00:15:11:13 Unknown that what we need to do and I was having a conversation a couple of weeks ago with a young lady newer into the industry, newer into the work career field, and she and I were talking about this topic actually, and she said, I just wish that organizations would give options, so I don't want to go to this 00:15:11:13 - 00:15:13:08 Unknown leaders program. 00:15:13:10 - 00:15:27:15 Unknown She's branding the organization. So we're talking new hire, kind of get to know the organization program where you've created this schedule. And I go do all of these things at these times. What I would love to do for me is have my resource person 00:15:27:15 - 00:15:44:17 Unknown that is like my guide and how I learn. And then I could we offer this information in this class on these days, if that's of interest, we do have some short video options to go over the same information and you can talk with your manager in between. 00:15:44:19 - 00:16:18:12 Unknown We have some great talking point guides at the end of each video and you could do it that way. We also have these articles over here if you want to read them and kind of learn about our culture that way and talk to your manager. So why I referenced that Choose Your Path book when we first started chatting is because that's what started blinking in my head while she was talking is, my gosh, we could deliver the same information in a multitude of ways and to be inclusive of all generations, let your learners choose their learning path. 00:16:18:14 - 00:16:41:21 Unknown Let them decide what makes sense for how they like to get information and who are their sources of truth to help them connect it all together. We do need that, you know, administrative control and understanding that you are learning this stuff, that we are making sure you're walking away with what we want you to walk away with. But that the concept that it has to be 00:16:41:21 - 00:16:52:04 Unknown built by a learning strategist or built and led by an instructor to accomplish that would be outdated thinking. 00:16:52:04 - 00:17:09:06 Unknown I think there are other ways that we could provide it, because what we are talking about makes sense for ABC Learner. What others might be talking about makes sense for deaf learner, and we need to help learners through Zeke So 00:17:09:06 - 00:17:11:08 Unknown don't get rid of the content you have. 00:17:11:08 - 00:17:20:02 Unknown Take the time now to look at all the content that you've identified as an organization is important for us to develop our employees on or in. 00:17:20:04 - 00:17:24:06 Unknown How can I take this instructor LED class or this 30 minute e-learning 00:17:24:06 - 00:17:39:16 Unknown and distill it into something different? Can we create blogs? Do we have podcast recording approaches? They're all internal. They're in a bank, a resource bank, and they can go in and click on, you know, episode one episode to episode three, and they have a week to listen to them all. 00:17:39:16 - 00:17:46:10 Unknown And that's how they that would be great for them. And then at the end of each podcast episode, you say, okay, so 00:17:46:10 - 00:18:05:11 Unknown we encourage you between now, when you listen to your next episode to talk to your manager about and then you put in those three talking points and then they would go chat with their manager and the manager knows what they are and just same information delivered in a multitude of ways and let the learner own what makes the most sense for them. 00:18:05:17 - 00:18:11:17 Unknown That's what adapting to include these other generations 00:18:11:17 - 00:18:12:14 Unknown should look like. 00:18:12:14 - 00:18:30:06 Unknown Those are all great points and great ideas. You think of God choose your path or choose your pathway, and I just immediately think of the tic tac sound. Choose your fighter. Like that just comes up in my head. I know where that comes from, right? Where is that wrong with your line? 00:18:30:07 - 00:18:35:13 Unknown And I can picture the sound in everything. Mortal Mortal Kombat 00:18:35:13 - 00:18:40:02 Unknown is a very, very, very. There's a Gen Z statement for 00:18:40:02 - 00:18:43:00 Unknown those. Fantastic. I loved it. But yes, that's what we're talking about. 00:18:43:00 - 00:18:57:02 Unknown Well, moving on here, the phrase authentic city often comes up with when we hear about the next generation or what does this really mean in terms of content development and curation and. 00:18:58:13 - 00:19:01:17 Unknown So I was mentioning, you know, 00:19:01:17 - 00:19:12:09 Unknown they get disengaged with overly produced stuff talking about what in the industry we often call the happy path, 00:19:12:09 - 00:19:22:15 Unknown where in training class we talk about the perfect this is the perfect scenario and here's how you would do this and then you would do this and then they will respond this way and then you would do this and everybody's happy. 00:19:22:17 - 00:19:25:15 Unknown Conflict resolved. And 00:19:25:15 - 00:19:31:00 Unknown what folks are looking for in terms of authenticity is tell me what it really looks like. How does it really go? 00:19:31:00 - 00:19:51:11 Unknown Can you not look perfect while you explain this to me? And can you not be in front of some green screen? I don't mean our beautiful logo backgrounds. I mean in these in these trainings are like these green screened, amazing modern corporate offices that, you know, they're not actually standing in because, you know, very few offices actually look like that in the world. 00:19:51:13 - 00:20:11:21 Unknown And any all of those layers together make the whole learning disingenuous. And they tune out because this person has no concept of what it's really like or this person doesn't. Yeah, doesn't speak my language and I can't connect with them. What they're looking for is 00:20:11:21 - 00:20:21:09 Unknown and I call them selfie selfie videos, like I could hold my phone up, just do a chat, a five minute chat or less on 00:20:21:09 - 00:20:35:09 Unknown the six behaviors, adaptive leadership behaviors, and then say, try this one next time you want to be direct, try this when you want to flex into coaching and they that feels more real. 00:20:35:11 - 00:20:57:23 Unknown You standing there. I'm a I'm a person. I'm not in the most perfect setting and I'm having a quick conversation with you about what it looks like and and how it works. And that feels more real. I am a leadership coach, so it makes more sense that I would talk about that. It would make no sense if I made a video about marketing strategy. 00:20:57:23 - 00:20:59:05 Unknown I don't do that. 00:20:59:05 - 00:21:13:14 Unknown But having a marketing person pop on and say, Marketing hot tip of the week and they know who they are because they're in their organization, it just is a quick hit and it's one of them. It's one of my team members. It's a person I know 00:21:13:14 - 00:21:18:00 Unknown in a space that I feel like if I walked up to their desk, they would say it to me in that exact same way. 00:21:18:00 - 00:21:31:12 Unknown And that's authenticity. Yes. And I can relate to that. Even being a younger, a younger employee, like that's the type of learning that I want to or that I want to see so be prejudged. So we get in there 00:21:31:12 - 00:21:38:17 Unknown just I mean, I'll just interview you. You tell what you want. Exactly. So tell me if I'm wrong. Okay. 00:21:38:20 - 00:21:42:09 Unknown You know what? You are 100% on. Right on. 00:21:42:09 - 00:22:02:24 Unknown Well, we're we've been bringing up phones a lot and Tic TAC and all this, so we've got to bring up technology at some point. So how has really technology shaped the way that Gen Alpha learns and what role should other digital tools play in these modern training programs? Yeah, I mean, Google Classroom 00:22:02:24 - 00:22:05:21 Unknown is part of elementary school. 00:22:05:23 - 00:22:26:13 Unknown Google Classroom becomes they all those all of them have like an online platform. All of the kids have Chromebooks instead of books. But all of the kids most of the kids schools have that by junior high. My son had that by seventh grade, but up through sixth grade, a lot of stuff was done on these interactive whiteboards in the room or something like that. 00:22:26:13 - 00:22:53:06 Unknown Now, I know every district is different. I know every private school versus public school and all of it can look different. My son goes to public school. I can all look different. But all of the districts are using these platforms for where the content is held. So he'll go to a platform and then there's I kid you not 12 different apps 00:22:53:06 - 00:22:58:12 Unknown that he would be clicking in and out of to get his classwork done. 00:22:58:14 - 00:23:13:22 Unknown His math class alone has three apps that he uses. The only class that feels even remotely like how I used to learn is his social studies class. And that's because they only have one app they use. I didn't have any apps, but like 00:23:13:22 - 00:23:20:16 Unknown that's how he expects to go find content and he finds it on his own with the teacher being the guide. 00:23:20:16 - 00:23:28:13 Unknown If Here's the things I want you to accomplish today, here's some resources to do it. His English teacher is teaching them how to use chat gpg 00:23:28:13 - 00:23:43:04 Unknown coming into an organization when he gets into full time work that doesn't even use any type of technology like that in any way would feel very weird to him because he's been really will at that point have been using it for five years in school, you know, 00:23:43:04 - 00:23:46:02 Unknown so they're looking for a source. 00:23:46:08 - 00:23:54:23 Unknown They're looking for. I always say you just have a pond and the teacher tells you what to fish for and you go fish for it, which makes no sense to him. And he tells me he doesn't fish, but 00:23:54:23 - 00:23:56:12 Unknown the point being, 00:23:56:12 - 00:24:04:18 Unknown that's how it's being done. Right? And we have these technologies in our or in our organizations right now. 00:24:04:20 - 00:24:16:18 Unknown So many organizations have some sort of collaborative tool they use, whether it's teams, whether it is WebEx teams, there's Microsoft teams, there's WebEx teams, 00:24:16:18 - 00:24:24:04 Unknown whether it is even Google Slack or Google Hangouts. Right. Some free version of a tool to collaborate. 00:24:24:04 - 00:24:34:16 Unknown Organizations are doing that. It used to be colleges used Blackboard. Right. And that was again pre me I didn't use I did the Dewey Decimal system and I went to library but 00:24:34:16 - 00:24:38:11 Unknown there was blackboard and that was kind of it and it was in college. 00:24:38:13 - 00:24:46:06 Unknown Now we're talking just how I get my assignments work done in sixth grade. So 00:24:46:06 - 00:25:03:01 Unknown we have these capabilities in our organizations right now. We don't think of using them. Not every organization, I should say. I have some of our members that do, but not every organization thinks about how do we use this as part of our learning strategy and not just as part of our collaboration tool. 00:25:03:03 - 00:25:06:18 Unknown That's where I think we can. You can do this 00:25:06:18 - 00:25:18:00 Unknown utilizing a lot of tools that you have at your disposal, and you should utilize all of them. Because remember, I'm talking about creating a learning path, not pivoting, integrating. 00:25:18:00 - 00:25:22:20 Unknown And I would say going off of that. Then follow up question to that is, 00:25:22:20 - 00:25:38:00 Unknown do you have or have you seen any organizations that have already started to kind of to where they're more integrate their training and development programs for general hire already? 00:25:38:02 - 00:26:00:09 Unknown Yeah, Yeah, we do. We have a couple of members. It's interesting they're in the one is in the of Rackspace so they started doing this not for Gen Alpha but because a lot of their team members are in their vans and on the road. So they're not you can't do a atria system e-learning because we don't give them computers and yes we all have mobile learning. 00:26:00:09 - 00:26:27:24 Unknown But if you look at mobile learning and an L.M. learning management system, platforms that are mobile enabled, it's the same video on a smaller screen. That's the only difference. It is a completely redone for your phone. It's still a video and you still might have quiz questions that pop up in between and you just are doing it on a smaller screen so it's not actually redone for mobile. 00:26:27:24 - 00:26:40:15 Unknown So it wasn't really working for them. So they started creating these things because they did have certain pieces of content that were hands on. And so you have to come to the warehouse to do it, 00:26:40:15 - 00:26:49:14 Unknown but we offer it a multitude of times because of schedules. So I might have an installation scheduled that day. And we can't stop all installations as a business. 00:26:49:14 - 00:27:12:08 Unknown We aren't going to do that. That's silly. So well offered and multiple times to fit your schedule. So people were starting to choose their own path already based on that. That works for me. And then they all had teams and so they started creating teams channels for content. There are two new create a channel. Here's a lot of ways this can benefit a learning strategy. 00:27:12:10 - 00:27:16:05 Unknown One, it's a it's a mobile. You can install teams on your phone, right 00:27:16:05 - 00:27:31:07 Unknown When you have a channel that you belong to, let's say new employee channel or emerging leaders channel or customer service channel. And it's not us talking with the members, it's learning how to be great at our customer services. We're at their homes and we're doing these installations. 00:27:31:07 - 00:27:55:10 Unknown What happens is they get added to the channel because either say they want to or everybody does. For the first year, whichever their strategy is, the channel has a chat. So they would have ongoing discussions all the time in the moment, coaching with the the guide there, but they also have their cohort of learners of other people. So they've just dealt with this situation, you know, not knowing if I did it right. 00:27:55:10 - 00:28:34:23 Unknown What's your opinion and the groups chatting about it then another tab for the channels, those files and they would have procedures. F.A. Qs, all kinds of sources of information there for them. They also could have videos in that file and they, there's a lot of different apps you can add on to any team's channel. So they would have all these different things, including a scheduler, so that if they did have in-person classes coming up on this topic and it was something that you feel like you needed more help in, you could go to the scheduler, click it, it linked to the LMS to register so you can track. 00:28:35:00 - 00:28:39:04 Unknown Like I said, you still going to have some sort of tracking system to the stuff 00:28:39:04 - 00:28:53:01 Unknown and people that wanted to go to the in-person class and they, they would have the multiple sessions and they would click it and they would come, but you didn't have to. And some people the way the the soapies, some videos and the chat function worked for them 00:28:53:01 - 00:28:54:22 Unknown and they didn't do it for that generation. 00:28:54:22 - 00:28:58:19 Unknown But I told them, I said, Well, you're in luck. You're already set up thumbs up. My 00:28:58:19 - 00:29:03:24 Unknown early start. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and, and they did a lot of their 00:29:03:24 - 00:29:05:18 Unknown they would reach into the chat 00:29:05:18 - 00:29:14:07 Unknown channel and say, hey, we're looking to update our videos. Anybody want to come? So to that authenticity point, they were just shooting them with their own. 00:29:14:09 - 00:29:18:09 Unknown I don't know if it was their phones probably a little bit fancier, but their own like handheld 00:29:18:09 - 00:29:42:19 Unknown videos with volunteers of team members. So so people are showing up. We're not producing. We knocked around an hour and then within like a half hour it was up and in the in the team's channel on that subject. So using teams not just for a collaborative tool, but as a development piece of the strategy and they just did it beautifully. 00:29:42:21 - 00:29:45:06 Unknown I was like, You're good. High five here. 00:29:45:06 - 00:29:50:05 Unknown that's a great it's a great example of a good success story. So yeah, 00:29:50:05 - 00:30:13:20 Unknown I do also want to reiterate the point I know we talked about, but that there are are also other generations in the workplace simultaneously. So can you just kind of reiterate the point or talk about how this strategic adjustment or integration, what that really means for for those learners of different generations? 00:30:13:22 - 00:30:50:11 Unknown Yes. And you used the pivotal word again, integration, right? Don't throw out what you already have. Just use it. You already have a strategy that is identified important information that you as an organization, agree. You should invest your time and energy into developing your people on. Because whatever learning strategy you have that involves a person coordinating it, people spending time outside of their daily work to learn it means you as an organization have determined it's worth the time investment and possibly depending on what it is, the financial investment. 00:30:50:14 - 00:31:11:11 Unknown So don't get rid of any of that. It's saying how can we also deliver that in potentially more of a choose your own path kind of way? Can we take that information? And what are the exercises that for someone that doesn't need to or want to go to a learning for workshop approach we can take out and still give them that information. 00:31:11:12 - 00:31:13:11 Unknown It's more of like a 00:31:13:11 - 00:31:36:15 Unknown like an article kind of thing to read. And then instead of exercises, we finish it with those talking points that you go chat with your manager about. Don't expect people to read it and retain it. You have to kind of let them in and they need to let the manager know. They read this, they want to talk about these points, but how I integrate it into my job role, the threat that other people might go to the class on the same content, but 00:31:36:15 - 00:31:48:19 Unknown it's taking what already exists because it's been determined as important and then spending some energy in providing it in some different ways so that as other generations 00:31:48:19 - 00:32:10:11 Unknown and other learner preferences, you also might find you. I don't want to assume that there aren't, you know, my mom as she's a boomer, she's a boomer like the first year, the baby boomer. But she and I talk about it and she's like, man, there was a lot of stuff. I would sit through glass and think, this could have been like a quick walk by my cube and tell me and I would have been fine. 00:32:10:11 - 00:32:18:09 Unknown She's a math mathematician and engineer woman, so most things she felt could have been handled through a quick conversation. But 00:32:18:09 - 00:32:27:11 Unknown so you might be surprised as to who you see take advantage of more of that self-guided, not even just self-paced, self-guided 00:32:27:11 - 00:32:36:07 Unknown learning strategy. No, that's a good point To just mention that some gen zers or gen alphas may not all take the same approach or. 00:32:36:07 - 00:33:00:22 Unknown They're all the same way. So that's a good point to bring up. But kind of wrapping up here, do I know we talked about a lot today, but do you have three main takeaways that our listeners can kind of walk away with in terms of how they can really start integrating learning and development strategies for Gen Alpha learners? 00:33:00:24 - 00:33:08:14 Unknown Absolutely. Stop throwing so much money into production for any of your video stuff. You don't have to 00:33:08:14 - 00:33:21:17 Unknown sow more authentic content that feels more real. So embrace the fact that you might be talking about the happy path and spend time talking about reality. 00:33:21:17 - 00:33:28:13 Unknown Diverse. Don't get rid of what you have. Diversify how someone can access the information shared and what you have. 00:33:28:13 - 00:33:39:22 Unknown And the third one, and this is going to be the hardest for any organization potentially it was the hardest for me, and I like to think I'm pretty progressive learning views 00:33:39:22 - 00:33:43:15 Unknown Embrace empowering the learner. 00:33:43:15 - 00:33:48:16 Unknown I'll say that online again. Embrace empowering the learner 00:33:48:16 - 00:33:52:01 Unknown so who knows how it. So if you would like information shared best, I don't 00:33:52:01 - 00:33:53:15 Unknown know if you knows that so 00:33:53:15 - 00:33:57:04 Unknown too that diversifying then let go features. 00:33:57:06 - 00:34:13:07 Unknown Here's the things I need you to know. I need you 30, 60, 90 to know it. Here's the different ways you can learn it. Let's sit down and myself as the learning leader, person or whatever. Right? The trainer assigned to you. You're your Sherpa through your learning guide. 00:34:13:07 - 00:34:18:04 Unknown As we sit down, let's map it out. What makes the most sense for you? 00:34:18:06 - 00:34:32:05 Unknown And you might be like parents. It's kind of hard. I think that one, I would like to go to a class on. I'm pretty good at that. And this is embracing adult learning theory. This is my whole career and we hire experts and then we train them how to do it. Steve Jobs is like that is so ridiculous. 00:34:32:07 - 00:34:52:23 Unknown And I agree with the man. If you're a marketing expert, I'm not going to train you on like how to market and social. Come take our social media marketing. Sophie Who's done social media marketing for forever? I'm not going to do that. So you might be like, I just want to read your policies on that. I'm good. You know, let me sit you down with the options. 00:34:53:02 - 00:34:54:02 Unknown Let you choose. A 00:34:54:02 - 00:35:17:13 Unknown it's a great, great ending point here and some great action steps that our listeners can start implementing today then, or at least thinking about it, you know? Yeah, well, you just heard from every subject matter expert on educating general flow. But to our listeners we also want to hear from you. So we're curious to know what you're doing to kind of revamp or 00:35:17:13 - 00:35:21:19 Unknown I guess, revamp your training programs for the next generation. 00:35:21:21 - 00:35:38:13 Unknown And so we are giving out one of our new podcast merch swag items. So we're encouraging you to send in your comments on this question for a chance to win that podcast Souvenir you'll want. I have one and I want it. I want one. So can I comment? I'll give you a one. 00:35:38:13 - 00:35:41:07 Unknown But otherwise, thank you so much for tuning in today. 00:35:41:07 - 00:36:09:10 Unknown Thank you, Amanda, for all that great information.

Con nuestra familia al completo , analizamos las últimas versiones de Soft lanzadas, tanto la oficial 17.1 como la Beta 17.2 En nuestra idiosincrasia curiosa y, por que no decirlo, friki, nos llama poderosamente la atención las novedades de la versión Beta. Una de estas novedades, ha sido la esperada app de diario, Journal. Parece que la espera termina con la 17.2 y que por fin podremos probarla. No todos los días Apple lanza una nueva app, veremos que tal. También ha traído consigo, novedades para la aplicación Música. El empleo de listas colaborativas y el uso de filtro de Enfoque para el historial como lo más destacado. El resto de novedades más destacables han sido, un lavado de cara para la App AppleTv+, respuesta rápida con stickers en mensajes, Airplay sin wifi y la posibilidad de acceder directamente al traductor desde el botón de acción. Si, parece que es de esas actualizaciones que vienen cargadas. Como ya comentamos en nuestro MERO, el rumor de un MacBook low cost, vuelve a primera línea. ¿Puede ser el producto para la campaña navideña? ¿Como puede Apple dar su golpe en la mesa y presentar un producto para rivalizar con los Chromebook? ¿Será parte de la presentación de este próximo día 30? Muchas incógnitas que probablemente veamos Scary-resueltas. Subidas de precio en los servicios Apple, en algunos muy marcada, casi un 100%. En los planes de grupo un 10%. Situación una vez más en la que tenemos que sentarnos y hacer "Numbers" para elegir bien nuestras suscripciones. Todas las compañías están con la dichosa manía de subir sus precios. A nadie sorprende que un servicio del nivel de Apple TV+ incremente su precio, llevaba en oferta de inicio mucho tiempo. Pero quizás, esta actualización de precios, ha sido algo excesiva. En un nuevo intento de sacudir el árbol del dinero en Apple Park. Una empresa ha denunciado a Apple por violación de patentes en el sistema de oximetría para el Apple Watch. Es una situación a la que tienen que estar muy acostumbrado en el equipo legal de Apple. Nuevos niveles de suscripciones con sus correspondientes precios para Twitter ó X. Desde un plan básico o de entrada que costaría 3$, hasta el más top que rondaría los 16$. También están probando en algún país, el “Euro de entrada”. ¿Que quiere decir esto?. Mediante este cobro a los nuevos usuarios, pretenden disminuir la entrada de bots a su red. Ese parece ser el argumento para esta prueba. Han insistido en su no interés económico en esta medida. “Dijo él, mientras contaba Euros…” El chip A17 pro, del iPhone ProMax ha salido a pelear con el Tensor 3 del Pixel 8, y parece que le ha ido bien. Ha presentado muy buenos resultados comparativos en diferentes pruebas realizadas. Por el contrario, el futuro Snapdragon 8 gen3 si que parece mojarle la oreja al A17 pro con números muy buenos en las pruebas realizadas en laboratorio, puesto que todavía no está comercializado.

This week on The Chrome Cast, loosely everything we discuss circles around one, large topic: Chromebook Plus. From the myriad of deals on Chromebook Plus devices to discussing the prowess of Chromebook Plus processors and the possibility of new Chromebook Plus tablets, this week's show largely stays focused on Chromebook Plus. We also discuss the curious case of the Pixel Tablet as well: a device still stuck in limbo, trying to figure out what its purpose truly is. With the Google Assistant set to start gaining Bard's capabilities and new Nest Hub-like features on the way to the Pixel Tablet, perhaps there's a future where owning this odd tablet from Google really starts to make a lot of sense.

Wonder The (re)learning curve has been executed brilliantly well to get back up to scratch with functions. It's very pretty but very childish. The enforced 5 minutes at the start is annoying having to wait and read and watch all the clap-trap before you get to actually play at all. The constant text pop-ups are annoying too. Hopefully they go away in time and as you get further in. The gameplay though is super. I got through the first castle now. The controller is a bit annoying using the Switch Lite as the right raised joystick thingie is in the way of my thumb hitting multiple buttons on A, B, X, Y like I used to on the SNES controller. Overall though it's fabulous, fun and 2D nostalgic. A masterstroke by Nintendo. I think this will sell huge for xmas, especially for Japanese kids. Jeremy Harpham on Google Chromebook Update Extension This was mentioned on a recent Tech Addicts podcast, that Google was extending support of various Chromebooks with up to 10 years of Chrome OS updates.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin by talking about our latest giveaway: 3 Lenovo Chromebook Slim 3i Chromebooks! While these devices don't have Chromebook Plus on the lid, they are Chromebook Plus through-and-through. As my favorite Chromebook Plus model thus far (and the first I plan to review), I'm beyond excited to be able to give away three of these excellent Chromebooks courtesy of Lenovo. From there, we move on to talk about the fact that there are no real differences in devices like the Slim 3i and the Chromebook Plus Slim 3i: it's just a new branding on the lid. And after we get through some discussion on the state of Chromebook Plus right now and the situation with the ChromeOS 118 update, we move on to examining the latest Chromebook Plus model to arrive at the office – the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 – and the fact that we now have all of the new Chromebook Plus devices in the office to begin weeks worth of reviews.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we discuss the potential for a new Chromebook Plus model that could be on the way from Samsung. From the heights of the Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro and Galaxy Chromebook to the oddly-named and poorly-executed devices like the Galaxy Chromebook Go and Galaxy Chromebook 2 360, Samsung has been on a rough path in the ChromeOS space for years at this point. But their comeback could be solidified with a well-thought-out Chromebook Plus model that looks to be in the works with a new device codenamed ‘Pirrha' that has been in development since July. Could this device signal a return to form from Samsung? And if so, when will we see it? This topic dominates our discussion this week, but we also hit on some other Chromebook Plus stuff and a bit about the wild deals we're currently seeing in the market on an ongoing basis.

In this episode of Conf T with your SE, host Bryan Young welcomes special guest Steve Staurovsky from Fortinet. They start by discussing their previous meeting at the CT NUG event and the wide range of products in Fortinet's portfolio. The importance of interoperability and collaboration with other vendors in the industry is highlighted. Steve emphasizes the need for securing operational technology (OT) environments, especially in industrial and healthcare settings, where secure access and data transmission are crucial. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of securing and updating machines in the manufacturing industry that are connected to the network but cannot be easily updated due to their age. The speakers stress the importance of keeping these assets online and the difficulties in finding replacements or compatible hardware. They also discuss the lack of interaction between IT and OT, the vulnerabilities created by preventative maintenance schedules and legacy applications, and the increasing sophistication of ransomware attacks. Fortinet's EDR product is mentioned as a solution for securing legacy devices such as old versions of Windows. The need for legacy asset support is further emphasized through a story about a critical asset running on an outdated system. Fortinet's ability to run on unsupported assets and provide peace of mind is highlighted. The conversation then moves on to Fortinet's FortiLink feature, which enables traffic routing through the firewall, offering advantages in terms of defense in depth strategy and flexibility. The evolution of FortiGate firewall from separate boxes for different functions to a single integrated solution is discussed, along with the variety of hardware sizes, feature sets, and licensing options available. The speakers then delve into the cycle of expansion and contraction in IT, from mainframes and terminals to the current cloud services and multiple clouds. They touch on the increasing need for processing power and how the cloud addresses this demand. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about gaming, specifically playing Unreal Tournament and attending a LAN party at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Fortinet's free training and certification program, offered during the pandemic, is mentioned, with praise for its high quality and polished production. The importance of using correct terminology in the IT industry is emphasized, along with a personal anecdote about using the correct terms with a doctor. The discussion briefly touches on Chromebooks and the speaker's experience with an original CR-48 Chromebook from Google. The speakers stress the significance of understanding and using the correct terminology in IT and networking, highlighting its impact on communication and professionalism. They also mention the benefits of having knowledge in electrical systems within the IT industry. The conversation veers towards programming and its integration into networking, mentioning the use of Postman and sharing their experiences with programming tasks. They conclude by briefly mentioning upcoming merchandise related to their podcast and recommending checking out Fortinet's training and certification at training.fortinet.com. The features of FortiGates, including the use of custom ASICs for better performance and lower power requirements, are discussed. The issues with the supply chain and its impact on product availability are touched upon, with an overall optimistic outlook for improvement. The cloud management capabilities of Fortinet's products are then explored, with a focus on FortiManager. The speaker explains how FortiManager allows centralized management and logging of devices, making changes and ensuring synchronization across multiple devices easier. The ability to templatize network configurations for scalability and automation is mentioned, along with the advantages of using FortiManager compared to manual device configuration. The availability of an Ansible playbook for automation is highlighted, and the importance of training to fully utilize Fortinet's offerings is emphasized. The diverse portfolio of Fortinet beyond the well-known FortiGate firewall is mentioned, and listeners are encouraged to explore their products. The episode concludes with an invitation to join the CT Network Users Group's Discord channel and to review and share the show.

Today on The Chrome Cast podcast, we get into all of the hardware and software details from the Chromebook Plus announcement that we didn't have time to cover in our episode last week. If you listened to that episode, you know that the Chromebook Plus certification represents the biggest change to Chromebooks we've seen since we started our coverage in 2015 and so there was a lot to talk about from a big picture perspective. But from a consumer standpoint, the hardware requirements and software features are what will impact your overall experience of using a new Chromebook Plus-certified device. So for this episode, we take a deep dive into each of the new 8 Chromebook Plus models that were a part of this announcement and the improved software experiences that will accompany all Chromebook Plus models.
