Welcome to episode 235 ("TikTok is Huge") of the EdTech Situation Room from October 13, 2021, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Epic's ongoing court battles over third party smartphone app payment processors with both Apple and Google, as well as upcoming tech events next week by Apple, Google and Samsung. Options for editing PDF files in a web browser (including on Chromebooks) included a new Acrobat extension from Adobe, the Squid app from the Google Play Store and DocHub. The incredible growth and reach of TikTok (which is somehow slipping under the radar now for would-be Congressional regulators and regulation advocates) was highlighted, along with the alleged futility of US military efforts to develop robust artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities relative to China. Lastly, an article highlighting the Internet ignorance of many U.S. citizens was discussed. Geeks of the Week included an eye opening article by a high school student who successfully prank hacked his school district (and provided a comprehensive analysis for his IT department to use afterward) and the bill cutting service, AskTrim.com. Our show was live streamed and archived simultaneously on YouTube Live as well as our Facebook Live page via StreamYard.com, and compressed to a smaller video version (about 100MB) on AmazonS3 using Handbrake software.

I started doing a bulk of my remote consultations in 2017. Over the course of a few years, I was able to make this a six-figure business. So I encourage you, if you can please start. So many Sunday fundays ;) That being said, it's not something that's going to fix your financial woes right now. Tough times are had by all right now, myself included. But remote coaching can help maintain your current client base during this quarantine. You also must realize that remote coaching has a bit of a learning curve to it. But I'm going to help you problem-solve through and save you time if it's a route you wish to pursue. How do you get started? First off, you need to figure out a way to advertise to people. If you are someone who predominantly has an in-person business, advertise this service to your current clients. Offering remote sessions could be an opportunity to show your clients you care about their health and don't wish to spread the coronavirus. Expanding beyond your client base means you must be prepared to do a lot of free stuff for a while; producing content towards your market and offering free sessions until you get better adept at remote coaching. When I was first starting out, I couldn't tell you the number of times that I would either give someone a free session due to my coaching struggles through this medium or extending a one-hour session to two without charging extra. There's a lot of trial and error with remote coaching, but understanding clients you currently have maybe the best way to practice. Remote consultation business benefits It's another income stream that protects you when your current income stream falters. For example, a lot of us right now, myself included, might have in-person businesses that are struggling. Having multiple income streams can better protect you when crap hits the fan. And who knows. Maybe you'll get that Scrooge McDuck money pool that we all secretly want (Image by Harry Strauss from Pixabay)[/caption] There's a great book called Antifragile, which discusses Black Swan events. These are events that shake the foundations of what we know in our world and can destroy fragile processes. Those who are antifragile can grow from these events. Having multiple income streams increases antifragility and survival during tough times. On the flip side, I also would encourage people who are only doing online stuff to look into doing in-person business as well. Perhaps we get hit with a cyber-terrorist attack that wipes out internet access. You'd be out of luck. Diversity of revenue streams is really the key, and remote coaching can be a great one. How to increase client buy-in for remote consultations Producing results is probably the best way to get buy-in. If you already have current clientele and you're getting them good results, let them know that remote coaching can maintain those improvements. You could also reduce the pressure on the client by only charging them if you can get a result. I have screening processes and know quickly within the session whether or not I'm going to be a good fit for this person. If I don't think I'm going to be a good fit or have a low chance of success, I will either take them on pro bono, or refer them to where I feel they would be better served.   The remote coaching process Make sure you set up your system so you can screen out people that are not appropriate for remote consultations and is easy to use. I have a questionnaire that screens out clients who have a low success probability or possible red flags. I am all about minimizing expenses with this, so I use a Google Form with the Form Publisher plugin. I'll glance through the form before I work with the person, and if I see any major red flags, I'll advise them on what route they should go instead of me. I use Calendly for scheduling, which has a ton of flexibility. You can limit the number of clients in a day, pick appointment durations, and it's easy to use. I also have a waiver that I have people sign, letting them know that this is not a substitute for medical care. I like Dochub because it's cheap and allows templates. The ideal remote coaching environment The next piece is making sure the physical environment promotes a good coaching session. When we're discussing the setup, the device your client uses and room lighting can make or break the session. First, let's go into the device. You'll want to have an adjustable camera so viewing angles can easily change. It's not a good idea to have someone hang onto their phone and try to prop it up by various means. Ideally, your client will either use a laptop with a webcam or a tablet/phone with a stand. A laptop is arguably the best because the screen is large, and the camera angle can easily change. You'll want to make sure that their webcam is on the top of the screen, not the bottom. Otherwise, you'll be evaluating their keyboard. I think we're going to need a bigger light! (Image by Daniel Reche from Pixabay) To maximize your view, you'll want the client to be in a well-lit room and wear bright clothing. A dark house with dark clothes will limit how well you can see your clients move, and impair your coaching capabilities. They'll blend into the background. I like James Bond as well as the next person, but not for a remote consultation. To maximize lighting, have clients close windows and turn up their lights. This isn't the time for Teddy Pendergrass! Ask the client to have the required equipment ready ahead of time. With the initial email I send, I give clients a list of equipment I'd like them to have. I don't make clients buy equipment unless I have to. Simple household items work just fine, such as a toilet paper roll (maybe not during the quarantine), small ball, paper towel roll, a book to elevate heels, etc. Simple things that can get profound results. The best call software by far is Zoom. I've tried all of the meeting apps out there, and the call quality on Zoom is far superior. You can also share your screen and have a "whiteboard" to draw stuff for client education. If you have an Ipad with an Apple pencil, you can do amazing things. You can also lock the room to keep the sessions private. If you are sticking to one-on-one sessions, Zoom is free. You can also do group sessions on Zoom free if the classes are kept under 40 minutes. Anything longer and you are looking at $14.99 per month, which is still pretty reasonable. I might sound like a Zoom salesperson, but I'm not (though if they want to pay me, by all means!) It's just that good. How to assess movement remotely Let's talk about the session itself. In order to choose useful exercises for your clients, you need to assess them. Most special tests cannot be performed remotely, but I personally do not find them all that useful. A thorough subjective and good intake form can sound the alarm on any red flags; special tests are there to just build your case. If you have any hesitancy about seeing someone based on their intake and subjective what they're saying in their intake forms, either clarify beforehand or refer out the appropriate practitioner. Do no harm first and foremost. Do no harm, fam #Hippocrates (Image by 3centista from Pixabay) Now onto assessing movement. This will be broken down into two components. First, I'll find a meaningful movement for the client. If you find an activity that the client struggles with and make it better with your interventions, you've immediately increased buy-in. Aside from finding an important movement for the client, my movement model focuses on assessing certain strategies clients use. I break movement strategies down into two categories: inhalation-bias or exhalation-bias. My testing aims to appreciate these strategies in various movement contexts. Make sure to get two angles of many of these tests so you can get a better picture of the client's movement capabilities. To simplify things for the client, demo these two angles before asking them to do the movement. I start with standing tests to get a gross evaluation of these mechanics. Here is my test cluster: Toe Touch Do you even exhale, bruh? You can see how I am "flat" (aka exhaled) in the upper and lower parts of my spine A toe touch assesses exhalation mechanics because the sacrum must nutate for you to touch your toes. I coach this movement with feet hip-width apart and knees locked. Can't touch your toes? You likely have an exhalation restriction. If someone easily touches their toes or palms the floor, they are likely too exhaled. Toe Touch to Squat Selfie optional, yet totally encouraged if you can squat all the way down Next, I look at a toe touch to squat to assess inhalation mechanics. The goal is the person to squat all the way down without rotating through the legs. The starting position is the same as the toe touch. If the squat isn't full, you know you need to focus on driving inhalation mechanics. Shoulder Extension I usually do 1 arm at a time To assess pump handle mechanics, I use shoulder extension. I'll first look at a posterior view, and cue the client to keep the arm in close to the body. Move the arm as far back as you can. Then, ask the client to spin to the side so you can get the angle. You are looking for 65 degrees without arm abduction as normal. Limitations here would point you towards driving air into the front of the chest. Knee to Chest  Keep the head down though. You can see how my left leg lifts up   These next tests dive deeper into someone's movement strategies. Knee-to-chest is one of my big lower body tests. The goal is to compress the knee to the chest without falling into hip abduction. The down leg should be maintained on the ground without flexing up or externally rotating. On the flexed side, you assess inhalation mechanics, the extended side would be exhalation. Active Straight Leg Raise Clearly, an exhale restriction. Yikes The active straight leg raise is another great test with more of an exhalation-bias, with a goal of 90 degrees. There are two components that make this test more exhalation-biased. First, knee extension drives femoral internal rotation and approaching 90-100 degrees of hip flexion biases hip internal rotation as well. Hip internal rotation is a component of exhalation mechanics. Shoulder External Rotation This is full as can be I have two tests that look at posterior thorax expansion. First, I look at shoulder external rotation with 90 degrees of abduction. Normal would be lying the arm down with around 30 degrees of wrist extension. If the forearm goes flat, that's likely because the person has excessive shoulder external rotation. There should actually be slight restrictions into external rotation at this range, as the test position is in slight horizontal abduction. Shoulder Flexion Just slightly limited Second, I'll look at shoulder flexion. The goal is the arm being in-line with the ear. The elbow is locked in and palm is facing up. You'll also want to place one hand on the ribcage to feel if it raises up as shoulder flexion commences. If the ribcage pops up or the elbow flares out, you would call the test at that range. Infrasternal Angle The last thing I'll look at is the infrasternal angle (ISA). I'll have someone place the laptop on their lap or hold the phone Get your moving skills on fleek, fam in front of their stomach. They can trace the ribcage, or breathe in and out so I can see the movement. Note the ribcage shape and dynamic capability. How to coach someone remotely Remote coaching is a completely different skillset from in-person coaching. Many of the coaching techniques at our disposal are eliminated when all you have is a screen. You must be good with your words and ability to demonstrate exercises. If you can't move, you will struggle to coach in this environment. Your exercise selection matters. You might use a bunch of fancy exercises, but you'll want to scrap them for the remote session. You won't be as good at coaching remotely as you are in-person. When you are climbing the remote coaching learning curve, you want to use simple moves to increase your success rate. Keep it simple. Make sure to demonstrate the move first, then break down each component as the client performs the action. Go slow and take your time with coaching the moves. Use multiple sets to get the exercise nailed down. You want to slow cook the movement brisket so you get it done just right! If the client is compensating as they perform the activity, the good-bad-good demonstration-style works great. Show them how you want the move to look, show them what they are doing, and then show them the right way once more. Just like with the assessment, try to get multiple views of the activity. I start with a side view with almost every exercise. This angle best appraises the client's ability to stack the ribcage and pelvis. Stacking involves creating a posterior pelvic tilt and a full exhalation. If your client cannot stack, they will not pressurize the ventral cavity effectively. Once the side view looks good, then you can progress to a different angle. Coaching group classes remotely If you are considering doing group classes remotely, I would start with smaller groups. It's challenging enough coaching one person remotely, let alone 10. As you improve your coaching skills, then you can increase the number of people in your class. How many sessions to remote coach in a day You'll also want to be mindful of the number of sessions you do in a day. Remote coaching can be exhausting because you are staring at a screen for hours on end. Take your current number of clients seen in a day and cut it in half. That way you keep the quality high, minimize your fatigue, and not become too sedentary. How to remote coach people who are excessively restricted in their movement For individuals for are so limited that they need an external load to change their movement, you can see improvements with minimal equipment. Give these clients the most challenging bodyweight exercises you can possibly do. For example, suppose you have someone with a wide infrasternal angle who needs to stack. Based on this article, putting people in the sideline position promotes reduced lateral ribcage dimensions and an increased anteroposterior shape. Activities like side planks and Copenhagen adductor exercises are really useful for these clients. Below is an example of a side plank activity I like: And here is a great copenhagen adductor exercise variation. A narrow infrasternal angle person might consider headstand variations or various pushup progressions. Anything that uses their heaviness against them can make positive changes. Below is a great headstand variation to try. You can also mess with various pushup variations. Don't be afraid to MacGyver stuff at home to help people with doing these activities. You could have them load up various household items for resistance. Lift garbage cans, heavy bags, anything heavy. If your client is willing to spend some money, bands can be a great way to add resistance. Sum Up Remote consulting can be a useful adjunct income stream, but consider it like starting a new business. Focus on your current clients first. Get buy-in by offering clients to pay only if it works, as well as classic advertising measures. Screening questionnaires and online documentation should be in place to determine which clients will be appropriate for remote consultations and to make it easy for the client. Make sure clients uses a laptop or adjustable stand during their session. Request that they are in a well-lit room and wear bright clothing. find proxy assessments to measure what is important to you. Always use two views to assessment Coach exercises by using two views, demoing the exercise, and verbal cueing.  Keep the number of clients you see remotely fewer than you do in-person to reduce fatigue and being sedentary. Start with one-on-one and progress to group as you improve your coaching skills Use challenging bodyweight moves or heavy household items for those with strong compensatory patterns

Yes, I know you REALLY want to know how to put your worksheet into Google Classroom!  But, let’s take a step back and take a deeper look at the purpose of your assignment, the power of G Suite, and how you can go BEYOND substitution and a static worksheet.  Get ready to stop asking how to put a worksheet in Google Classroom, because “worksheet” is about to be removed from your vocabulary. Usually, this question REALLY means, how do I put a PDF inside Google Classroom so my students can write on top of it. Don’t worry. If you want the easy answer and to ignore the rest of this, I will tell you how at the end of this post. In This Episode: [00:29] - Kasey welcomes listeners to the show and reveals one of her biggest pet peeves.  [02:04] - Quick Shout Out to Jennifer Earls and Murray State University for being amazing participants in one of the Shake Up Learning live events!

How to Put a Worksheet in Google Classroom [07:18] - Should you or should you not be putting worksheets into Google Classroom? First Kasey defines a worksheet, and why you shouldn’t be using them at all. The term “worksheet” has become a bad word in a lot of education circles. Worksheets and packets mean different types of work to different types of teachers. Jennifer Gonzalez from Cult of Pedagogy did a wonderful post and podcast on this topic called, “Frickin’ Packets.” The post was inspired by a YouTube video where a high school student tells his teacher that if you want students to get excited about learning and touch their hearts, stop giving frickin’ packets. [10:04] - Kasey shares a confession about her own teaching that she truly regrets, she used to use packets and worksheets for busy work. As I have confessed many times, and in fact, literally confessed inside an auditorium in Kentucky last week, packets and worksheets were a mainstay in my classroom for the first few years. And that is something that I regret.  I am ashamed that I gave my students busy work so that I could finish grades or other tasks that piled up on my desk. I taught the way I was taught and in my ignorance, I blindly followed the lead of the more seasoned teachers on my campus. I didn’t know that I was doing a disservice to my students. So when I am asked this question, I don’t give a quick fix answer, I follow up with: “What are you teaching? What are your learning goals?” The answer will give me an opportunity to discuss alternative assignments that can make learning more dynamic for students. If your goal is to teach students how to complete an acrostic, GREAT! But I have yet to see that one defined in any standard. If your goal is to teach students how to fill in the blank from a word bank, GREAT! But I have yet to see that one defined in any standard. But if your goal is to help students learn and understand new vocabulary, there are so many more engaging activities to try. It always comes down to the learning goal. Not the packet. Not the technology. If you can’t tell me how the tech supports the learning, ditch it. If you can’t tell me how the packet supports the learning, ditch it! What is a Worksheet? [12:10] - Kasey defines the “worksheet” and different types of things teachers mean when they say worksheet.  For the purposes of this discussion, let’s define worksheet. Let’s take a closer look at some ways a teacher could describe a worksheet. I have a worksheet that I use with my students every year. Now I need to figure out how to make it work in Google Classroom. I got this cute worksheet on Teachers Pay Teachers and I want to assign it using Google Classroom. I have a PDF document that my students need to read and answer questions in Google Classroom. I teach ELL students who need to practice reading and comprehension on a worksheet. I have a PDF article that I want my students to read and annotate. I have a graphic organizer I want my students to complete. I have a special note-taking device for my students. I made one of those hyperdoc worksheets and I don’t know how to share it with my students. This list can go on and on. So before you berate me with your special exceptions, let me be clear. I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez, “Not all worksheets are created equal.” There are powerful strategies that can be done on paper or in a digital format. Those last few examples (5-8) are not what I would refer to as a worksheet.  Annotating a piece of text or writing is not a worksheet. A graphic organizer is not a worksheet. Advanced note-taking devices are not usually worksheets. Hyperdocs are not worksheets. For the purposes of this discussion, I am referring to worksheets or packets that are designed to keep students busy filling in blanks, searching for words, doing crossword puzzles, and other types of sheets that do not meet learning goals. And to revisit our original question about digitizing the worksheet so you can distribute the assignment in Google Classroom takes this question a bit further. First, if you are going through the trouble of taking something from paper to digital, why not use that as an opportunity to make it more dynamic. We also need to change our vocabulary, if you are lumping hyperdocs into the worksheet category, you missed the boat. You probably fell off the boat. [15:45] - When moving from paper to digital, make the lesson more dynamic! Also review your vocabulary and update it! Let’s begin to define our new digitized activities with new words. I talk a lot about this in my book. “If we are to ever truly move beyond technology as a substitution, we must get rid of terms that are rooted in old school, paper-based assignments: paperless, notebook, packet, worksheet, poster, cards, portfolio, etc. Vocabulary can limit our perception of what’s possible. An interactive notebook could simply be taking the paper-based notebook and images and putting them online in a presentation software. But again, that limits the possibilities. We need new, creative words. What if instead of notebook, a word that soon will have very little meaning for future-ready students, it becomes something new, like a “Learning Stream” or a “Learning Binge”?” Bell, Kasey. Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic . Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc.. Kindle Edition.  [18:08] - Use technology to create new learning experiences for students that weren’t previously possible. “But my worksheet helps prepare students for the test.” Maybe. And yes, I understand we all have test prep, but let’s be honest, worksheets and packets are a crutch. Ask yourself,  Will this worksheet help the learning stick? Is this worksheet better than hands-on learning? Is this worksheet better than discussion? Is this worksheet better than engaging students in new ways? -- That’s why you use technology! Not to save paper or digitize your old stuff. Technology is a tool that allows us to create new learning experiences for students that weren’t previously possible. What if you teach ABOVE the test? What if you can still help students prepare for that test and give them skills to not only pass but to think critically, create, collaborate, and use their creative skills? How to Edit a PDF in Google Classroom [21:46] - Kasey provides a “How to” on getting your PDF into Google Classroom and how to assign it. And finally, let’s move on to the question that some of you have been dying for… “Kasey, how do I get this dadgum PDF in Google Classroom?” -- (that’s my southern cursing coming out!) Okay, so you have something amazing for your students and it is a PDF document that you want to assign through Google Classroom. [22:49] - Google Classroom is a separate application where you can create assignments, not simply using Google tools in the classroom.  Occasionally, teachers ask this question and they don’t understand that Google Classroom is a separate application from Google. It doesn’t just mean that you use Google in your own classroom. Google Classroom is an assignment manager and classroom communication tool. (You can learn all about it in The Google Classroom Master Class.) First, save your PDF to Google Drive. Go to drive.google.com Click on the “New” button Then choose File - Upload Navigate to where you saved your PDF file on your computer and upload it to your Drive. [23:53] - Once you’ve uploaded to drive, you will need to use a PDF editor so that your students can work on the PDF. Most educators use KAMI. It was designed to integrate with Google Classroom. Next, choose a PDF editor and make sure your students have access. There are several applications that allow you to edit PDFs, even draw on PDFs, that are also compatible with Google. Kami - The Kami Chrome extension and Drive App is probably the number one recommended PDF editor in the education space. I know many schools that use it. It is freemium, meaning you can use some features for free, and it integrates beautifully with Google Classroom. DocHub is another application that some teachers use to edit PDF documents and save to Google Drive. A quick search will also help you find alternatives, but these are the two most recommended by educators. Once you have installed the Kami or DocHub extension (and it is installed for students), they will be able to mark-up and write on the PDF. Don’t forget to assign it in Google Classroom and attach the PDF from Drive. Be sure to give students directions on how to use the tool. You really don’t want to miss this episode! There are so many good nuggets of information on how best to use technology and G Suite in your classroom!

Welcome to episode 101 of the EdTech Situation Room from July 25, 2018, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed automation and the technological trajectory of our society, potentially toward dystopia, informed by Douglass Rushkoff's "Survival of the Richest" article shared in early July. This led to discussions about the weaponization of news via social media, as highlighted by danah boyd in a recent lecture in Detroit available on YouTube, recent revelations about voting machine vulnerabilities to hackers via remote access, and the cautionary tale provided by Ukraine in recent years on Russian hackers' capabilities to bring a society's institutions to a standstill via cyberwarfare. On the less depressing technology news front, Jason and Wes discussed the recent hoopla of Apple throttling MacBook Pro laptops revealed by a user on YouTube, and Apple's release of an iOS version which provides better support for privacy and travelers passing through customs inspections where equipment may be used to copy iPhone data via USB tools. On the Google front, Jason discussed identified speed issues with web browsers and the YouTube website, the recent EU fine of Google for anti-trust legal violations, the opinion that Android has (positively) created more choice in the global smartphone market, and an update on Google's Chromecast technology which celebrated its 5th birthday. Facebook's legal challenges and potential fines in Great Britain over Brexit, rumors of a Microsoft-branded smartphone, updates to Microsoft Teams software, slow growth in the PC industry, and the continued revelation of more backdoors in Cisco routers (5 at this point) rounded out this episode's topics. Geeks of the Week included Loom, a Chrome extension for screencasting, the Apple Magic Pad running on Chrome, Reddit (it's not just for trolls), DocHub (for PDF annotation and digital signing) and the new documentary "This is AI" by IBM and Discovery.
