Transport och hamnstrejken fortsätter och konflikten på arbetsmarknaden trappas upp ytterligare. I måndags kom beskedet om att Metsä Group och UPM stänger sina fabriker. Arbetsgivarna inom Finlands näringsliv, EK, har enats om att sluta betala löner, om strejken leder till att företag stänger ner sin produktion. Även om de anställda inte strejkar. Varpå Industrifacket hotar med rättsliga påföljder. Vart är arbetsmarknadskonflikten på väg? I debatten deltar Ralf Sund, ekonom med lång erfarenhet inom fackföreningsorganisationer och Stefan Törnqvist, tidigare bankman och företagare. Mikaela Löv leder debatten. E-post: slaget@yle.fi

Metsä Group rakentaa uuden tehtaan Kemiin. Suomessa on kuollut yli 700 ihmistä koronan takia. Oikeus on antanut tuomion tapauksessa, jossa valehdeltiin irakilaisen miehen kuolemasta. Vanhusten kotihoidossa on enemmän ongelmia kuin ennen. Kaunis talvisää jatkuu.

Laiks, kad virtuālā realitāte tika saistīta tikai ar izklaides iespējām, jau sen ir pagātnē, jo attīstoties tehnoloģijām tiek rastas arvien jaunas iespējas, kā to izmantot izglītības, veselības, būvniecības, kā arī citiem ļoti praktiskiem mērķiem. Tā var būt iespēja attālināti apsaimniekot mežu, izstaigāt objektus tūkstošiem kilometru attālumā, atpūsties un relaksēties darba dienas vidū un paveikt daudz ko citu praktiski noderīgi, ietaupot laiku un līdzekļus. Par to LR6 Latvijas Universitātes radio NABA raidījumā “Digitālās brokastis” vadītāji Artis Ozoliņš un Rihards Blese sarunājas ar “TietoEVRY” mārketinga un komunikācijas vadītāju Ingu Grencbergu un vadošo programmētāju Igoru Vasiļjevu. Cik tālu mēs esam no tā, lai īstās realitātes sajūtas spētu atdarināt virtuālajā? Pavisam aizstāt to laikam īsti nevarēs, jo fiziskās sajūtas mums tomēr arī ir ļoti mīļas. I. Vasiļjevs: Tehnoloģiju attīstība lieliem soļiem skrien uz priekšu, tās tirgū paliek aizvien pieejamākas, arī cenas krīt. Primāri mēs uztveram ar redzi un dzirdi, šīs sajūtas atdarina mūsu virtuālo realitāti, un ar to pilnīgi pietiek, jo, ja mēs paskatāmies, kā smadzenes ļaujas ilūzijai, tad arī tās visas sajūtas var arī caur redzi izjust. Ja mēs izvērtējam visus šos maņu orgānus – redzi, dzirdi, smaržu un tausti, sanāk, ka visvieglāk smadzenes ir apmānīt caur redzi? I. Vasiļjevs: Tauste jau tiek simulēta pietiekami reālistiski. Tehnoloģiski mēs jau varam simulēt arī smaržu un kaut kādus garšas izjūtas receptorus  – to ļauj izdarīt mikromodulārās ķīmijas laboratorijas, taču pagaidām tas nav tik plaši pieprasīts, piedāvājumu rada pieprasījums. Tomēr kopumā pagaidām lielākais izaicinājumus ir šīs smaržas un garšas sajūtas simulēšana. Kur jūs saskatāt virtuālās realitātes praktisko pielietojumu, kaut kādu pievienoto vērtību – tā ir tikai izlaide vai tai arī ir kādi nopietni profesionālie izaicinājumi? I. Grencberga: Virtuālās realitātes izmantošana izklaides jomā arvien straujāk samazinās par labu reālam pielietojumam  visdažādākajās praktiskās jomās – medicīnā, arhitektūrā, būvniecībā, ražošanā, tā vairs nav tikai spēlīšu sadaļa, tās ir reālas lietas, kuras ikdienā cilvēkiem palīdz un dod vērtīgāko, kas mums ir – laiku. Piemēram, “TietoEVRY” galvenajā birojā Helsinkos ir biroja virtuālā tūre, ļaujot jaunajiem darbinieki pirms savas pirmās darba dienas virtuāli izstaigāt telpas, ieraudzīt kolēģus, noskaidrot viņu amatus, uzzināt, kur atrodas kafijas automāts. I. Vasiļjevs: Mūsu birojā ir “Tieto Electronics Gym” – radošā tehnoloģiju telpa mūsu darbiniekiem, kur mēs pētām arī virtuālās realitātes iespējas, izmantojot tehnoloģijas un programmatūru. Mēs pētām tās lietas, kuras tirgū vēl nav pieejamas vai arī ir ļoti dārgas –varam tās savā tajā telpā radīt, izstrādājot elektroniskos risinājumus, mikroshēmas un ar 3D printeri izdrukāt korpusu. A. Ozoliņš: Redzamākais līdzeklis realitātes simulēšanai ir brilles, kādus vēl rīkus izmanto realitātes atdarināšanai? I. Vasiļjevs: Jā, primāri tās ir brilles. Šobrīd tās ir ļoti lielas, kā ķieģelis uz galvas, bet to gabarīti ar laiku samazinās, un pienāks brīdis, kad šīs brilles būs tikpat lielas kā parastās optiskās brilles, vēl tālākā nākotnē tās varētu būt kontaktlēcas. Papildus vēl nāk austiņas, cimdi taustei, un tērps, lai izjustu objektus virtuālajā realitātē. Attīstot kustības izjūtu, tehnoloģiski nav sarežģīti radīt tādu kā sfēru, kurā cilvēks ieiet iekšā un tad šī sfēra uz lodīšu pamata it kā kustās apkārt ap sevi, ap savu asi, un tad cilvēks iekšpusē var iet visos virzienos. Tas ir viens no kustības un pārvietošanās virtuālajā telpā attīstības virzieniem. Jāpiebilst, ka, izmantojot virtuālās realitātes tehnoloģijas mājas apstākļos, telpā jābūt diezgan drošai videi, lai pārvietojoties netīšām uz kaut kā neuzkāptu vai kaut ko nenogāztu. Kādiem vēl nolūkiem vēl jūs izmantojat virtuālo realitāti? I. Grencberga: Viens no “TietoEVRY’ lielākajiem projektiem ir virtuālais mežs, kurš izstrādāts kopā ar skandināvu mežu uzņēmumu “Metsä Group” – tas nozīmē, ka sēžot birojā pie galda tu vari staigāt un apsaimniekot savu īstu mežu, tādējādi ietaupot laiku un naudu tā apsekošanai klātienē. Tas sniedz iespēju virtuālā vidē novērtēt mežu, saprast, cik lieli būs ieņēmumi, izcērtot to šodien vai arī izdarot to pēc gada. Tur var arī virtuāli sastādīt jaunus kokus. Vēl viens no “Tieto” virtuālās realitātes projektiem ir Norvēģijā datu centrs – tas ir ļoti drošs, iebūvēts tālu Norvēģijas kalnos un, lai, klientiem to parādītu nemērojot tūkstošiem kilometru tālo ceļu līdz pašam centram, ir radīta iespēja to kopā ar klientu izstaigāt un iepazīt drošības risinājumus, sēžot birojā pie galda. Kā jūsu uzņēmums veicina izpēti un attīstību, vai jūs sadarbojoties ar zinātniekiem? I. Grencberga: Mūsu Somijas kolēģi, kuri īsteno mūsu nozīmīgākos virtuālās realitātes projektus, šobrīd kopā ar Somijas zinātniekiem strādā pie virtuālās realitātes projektiem un viena no interesantākajām lietām veselības nozarē, ko viņi ir izstrādājuši un testē, ir virtuālās realitātes brilles relaksācijai, meditācijai. Šīs brilles darba dienas vidū var uzlikt, un tās ļauj relaksēties un meditēt, arī izmēra asinspiedienu. Kāds potenciāls ir Latvijā virtuālās realitātes projektu attīstībā? Latvijā mēs sadarbojamies ar studentiem – viņi veica izpēti būvniecības nozarē un mēs kopā ar kolēģiem analizējām, ar kādiem rīkiem varētu veikt un apsekot būvniecības procesu no projekta līdz finišam un skatīties, kādas ir iespējamās novirzes un jau laicīgi tās koriģēt. Viens no veidiem varētu būt telpas skenēšana ar dažādiem paņēmieniem un tās apsekošana ar virtuālās realitātes palīdzību. Kādi ir virtuālās realitātes attīstības virzieni? Notiek izpēte un jau ir taustāmi rezultāti neirointerfeisā smadzenēm, – apejot mūsu maņu orgānus, informācija pa tiešo jau tiek nodota smadzenēs. Pavisam nesen Elons Masks ziņoja, ka viņi pēta iespēju pieslēgt pirmajam cilvēkam tādu smadzeņu skanētāju. Kopumā virtuālā realitāte attīstās pieprasījuma virzienā – tiek strādāts pie tā, ko vēlas gala patērētājs. Piemēram, arī tajā pašā papildinātās realitātes jomā, ka var aiziet uz trenažieru zāli, uzvilkt brilles un ieraudzīt savu virtuālo treneri, kuš seko jūsu kustībām un stāv blakus un koriģē treniņa procesu. Un visi, kas vēlas strādāt jūsu uzņēmumā jau arī virtuāli var ar to iepazīties? I. Grencberga: Jā, iepazīties ar mūsu biroju virtuāli iespējams try.tieto.lv

I like GIFs.It's Episode 105 of the EdTech Loop podcast, my name is Larry Burden and she's just got back from Iowa after developing a voting app that probably shouldn't have made it past beta, it's Danelle Brostrom. Too soon?Danelle Brostrom 0:34 No, I like it. I love it.Larry Burden 0:36 I may have rushed the intro, but meditated thoughtfully while considering this week's moment of Zen.Moment of Zen 0:42 Slow down and make building relationships as important as building projects.Larry Burden 0:49 The delegate from Sabin has chosen not to abstain from voting for this week's meat of the show, Dive into DigCit. So, I think earlier this year we were going through our, the different topics that we're going to cover, and we're discussing digital, digital citizenship which we are want to do, and I think at some point in time we were like, you know what, we've probably done too much. We've probably done too much digit digital citizenship. And I would say, I disagree strongly with the delegate from Sabin. I think this is probably the most important topic we ever cover on the podcast for a number of reasons, and by the amount of notes, that you have I'm pretty confident that, that's an accurate take. So, go ahead. I've got some thoughts but you had, it was like stream of consciousness, Google Doc-ing. It was amazing. I'm like, Wow!Danelle Brostrom 1:49 It really was stream of consciousness Please don't copy and paste that into the show.Larry Burden 1:52 It's going, For sure.Danelle Brostrom 1:53 Um, okay so let me kind of frame today's discussion, huge, huge shout out to the METS Group, The Michigan Educational Technology Specialists. On Friday, January 31st, they held their 2020 Virtual Rally, and it's a half day, it's all online, it's different sessions. They had sessions on accessibility, Copyright, PBL, giving quality feedback. The quality of these sessions are just top notch. They're phenomenal. And I love that they're all recorded and online, so those of us who may have missed a session because of a meeting, or had to teach in the morning, or whatever, they're all there and you can watch the sessions, right now. So I do want you to include that link in the show notes because I think that is really important that does frame our discussion today. My favorite session was by a Tech Integrationist from downstate Lauren Villaluz. You can find her on Twitter, she's @senoraluz. She did a session called DigCitCommit, reflecting on our practice as coaches and leaders. And honestly Larry I went into the session like, oh I know a lot about digital citizenship, let's, let's see what she's got to talk about, has to share. And wow, I feel like I knew nothing, because it was all brand new and I want to be honest I'm, I'm nervous that I'm not gonna give this topic what, what I could. There's, there's just so much here. So, ISTE recently released five competencies for digital citizenship. So instead of having this conversation be one of fear and negativity and this list of don'ts. They're really shifting it to this list of do's. They're shifting the conversation to one of inclusivity, and empathy, and action. And it all started out with these five competencies, and I guess it was like, ISTE put out this call to action and 2018 that asked educators to do one thing, one small thing to advance, advance digital citizenship in the world, and then they were going to kind of look at the impact of all those small things combined. And now it's grown into this DigCitCommit movement, which I want to talk about today. And it just continues to grow. Like, these competencies are amazing. So I do want to go through them.Larry Burden 4:13 Before you do because I, when I was going through this in my negligible research, it struck me that, as we've been covering digital citizenship and as you said, it's been kind of the don't do's, as opposed to the do's, and I think it was because we were trying to fit what our concept of, an old concept of citizenship was in a new model, or a new environment. It's taking a new definition of citizenship to fit with the new environment. What we were doing before was not working.Danelle Brostrom 4:48 Right.Larry Burden 4:49 It probably shouldn't have because this was a developing concept. I think the fruit is ripened, and you could tell by the, by what your research had come up with, and how surprised you were with what was there when you started diving in. I'm really excited about this because this is, this is the I think the start of that redefinition of what citizenship is. And as we've, as I've stated before, and as we've talked about before. The kids are ahead of this, are way, way ahead of what the new environment, what citizenship in the new environment is. I think it's going to be a lot harder for the teachers, and a lot harder for other adults, because we are stuck in an old model.Danelle Brostrom 5:32 Totally. There is a really great podcast I want to plug to, "Note to Self," did a podcast called, "How to Create Good Digital Citizens," and um, Manoush Zomorodi she's the host of that one, she talked to Richard Colada, who's the CEO of ISTE. And I love how they set it up. They talk about these five competencies, but they set it up like, so we live in a society, and to be a citizen of this society you have to follow certain rules. And, you know, you stop at stoplights, and you pay your taxes, and they're their rules that you follow. And then they're also those unwritten rules like: you're sitting next to someone at a cafe, you don't reach over and steal their fries or take a slurp of their coffee because it looks good. There are just things that you don't do, but then what would it be like if we had this world that didn't.Larry Burden 5:59 You haven't seen me in a coffee shop. Sampling as I go.Danelle Brostrom 6:25 You didn't ruin my train of thought at all Larry, I'm gonna keep going.Larry Burden 6:29 Cafe' Au Let, Ooh yummy.Danelle Brostrom 6:30 But what do you do in this world, it, when, when there aren't rules and what would that be like, and well that's kind of what we've got going on online right now, and that our kids are poised to be this much more civilized digital universe, but only if we'd start teaching them now. Otherwise, nothing's going to happen. So they really go through the five competencies one by one and talk about them. I think it's really worth a good listen. But, um so those five competencies: the first one is inclusive. I'm open to hearing and respectfully recognizing multiple viewpoints, and I engage with others online with respect, and empathy. What a beautiful world. Right?Larry Burden 7:12 Yes. Yes. I'm let you go through them.Danelle Brostrom 7:16 Number two: informed, I evaluate the accuracy, perspective and validity of digital media and social posts. Number three: engaged, I use technology and digital channels for civic engagement to solve problems and be a force for good in both physical and virtual communities. I love that, force for good.Larry Burden 7:36 I want to stop here, if I could, because that one struck me in a negative way. Because, observing what goes on online, especially in social formats, I tend to disengage, because it's very difficult to engage constructively, because that's really not the way citizenship works online currently. But I like the concept behind what that said. I just didn't know how plausible it was, or what actions would have to happen to make, make it plausible. And what I came up with, it, just you know after a few seconds was, all we really need to do when looking at all these, and we'll continue with the other, the other two. Two? Is put them all under one umbrella and just say slow down. Because you're not going to be able to focus on any of these without slowing down. And that in the environment, the digital environment is Go, Go, Go, fast, fast, fast, whether it's on purpose, whether it's the thought or the mindset that we're bringing into it, or a model that is trying to drive attention needs you to not recognize and think thoughtfully about what you're doing you're mindful about what you're doing. Going into any of these, we need to slow down, and that and be mindful and recognize where we're at so then we can actually make these standards actionable.Danelle Brostrom 9:17 Yeah, that's true.Number four: balanced, I make informed decisions about how to prioritize my time and activities online and off. And then number five: alert, I am aware of my online actions, and I know how to be safe and create safe spaces for others, online. So what's pretty cool is that ISTE has taken those five competencies and they are working with Common Sense Media and a lot of other awesome organizations.Larry Burden 9:44 All the, all the organizations.Danelle Brostrom 9:46 All the organizations who are already working in that digital citizenship realm. They kind of came together to commit to bringing high quality resources in one location. So, I mean there's resources everywhere and this is a collective effort to bring it all together and found that digcitcommit.org. Wow, what is on here is incredible. Like I said, Common Sense Media, Brainpop, DigCit Institute. There's some new resources that I hadn't heard of. There's some resources specifically on the intersection of AI and humanity, which I'm totally interested in. I just joined the AI and humanity study group from the Digital Citizenship Institute. Larry, they are going to talk about Black Mirror episodes! What! I'm trying to talk to people in my life about it and they're not interested, so I need, these are my people. I'm totally hooked on these discussion topics from KQED.org. They're under the, "Learn," section and there are topics that you can give to, they say Middle and High School, I think it could even do some of these with upper El. And just things like: should the US have universal healthcare, should be raise the federal minimum wage, can we trust social media influencers, should we get rid of the Electoral College, should zoos exist, should school start later? And they have these little videos that are backed by research. And then on this site kids are actually sharing their responses, and I think you could do some awesome things in the classroom with these real, authentic issues. There's just so much here. It's brilliant to put it all in one place, this DigCitCommit.org.Larry Burden 11:24 Without being negative, it almost, it almost was overwhelming, but the fact that it was all, all there, and all the disparate groups, like all of them, were represented, tells me that things are starting to coalesce into a more cohesive message which is so necessary. Because it is. We go to ISTE, we go to digitcommit, we go to Google, we go to Common Sense Media. All these different places were kind of all saying similar things and we were touching on all of them. Guess where they're all at now. They're all, they're all in one one spot and I named, some of them.Danelle Brostrom 12:04 Yeah,Larry Burden 12:05 But they're all there. So, all the people, and that's the wonderful thing, or one of the really hopeful things about the digital culture is the fact that all these people could actually go, Oh, we're all part of the same community. Let's get together and really leverage our voice.Danelle Brostrom 12:26 It, it is building a culture. It's not doing one lesson in February, or one lesson when you talk about this specific unit, it really is building a culture where you're talking about real issues with kids that, that they're struggling with. And, and digital citizenship is in the Educator Standards from ISTE, and it's in those Ed Tech Coach Standards, but it's also in those Educational Leaders Standards. So as an administrator, one of the ISTE Standards is: Equity and Citizenship Advocate. So how are you not only telling the teachers to do digital citizenship, but how are you modeling that in your own life, and I think that's important too. I mean, as an educator, there are kind of different levels to this. You know, are you, are you just grabbing images from Google and creating your stuff? Or are you, you know, going through and citing where you got those images from, and talking to your kids about citations, and why you chose this image over this one, and how to find appropriate images. All that kind of stuff that just happens organically as you're teaching, that's that's how this should be. It should be a part of, a part of culture, and I think these five competencies are going to help get there, and man, this DigCitCommit, there's a lot there. But I think the important thing is, is that at least it's all in one place now and these groups are kind of working together. I think what all of us should do is we should commit to do it like, like what the CEO of ISTE said at, in 2018 commit to doing one thing, pick one thing you're going to try. Nancy Watson, she's @nancywtech on Twitter. She created this cool app using "Glide." We talked a little bit about "Glide," before, it's "Glide," app and you can create, you put things into a spreadsheet and then it bumps this really cool app. Yeah, yeah David was really excited about it. But if you go to digcit.glideapp.io. It's this app that she created, and you can click on, "Primary," you can click on, "High School," and it gives you these easy questions starters within those five competencies. So, I love that there are people out there that are trying to create and make this usable. I think we commit to doing one thing and I really think we just, we...this is the start. It's all here, and then I think the next step is going to be to try to curate it, and what's good for you and what's good for other people, and just try to organize it all. It's just amazing. Anyway, think about that Barack Obama quote: I want us to ask ourselves every day how are we using technology to make a real difference in people's lives." And I think that this stuff is going to make a real difference if we help it grow.Larry Burden 15:00 You know, you're, you're, you're talking about the conversations that can be had. The important conversations that can be had, online. I think one of the things that we've struggled with is how, what is the appropriate way to have those conversations. We're now setting some societal rules, or considering setting some societal rules on how to have that discourse online, and we're starting to come to a consensus around what being a good digital citizen is.Danelle Brostrom 15:33 For sure, and I don't think you can say anymore, I don't teach tech, I don't have time for that. This is so essential to society.Larry Burden 15:43 There are so many resources on this site for ways to incorporate. Some of them aren't going to work for you. Just do one, give it a shot. If that doesn't work, there's another, don't worry about it.Danelle Brostrom 15:56 And there are resources on there for families as well. I know that they linked up Google's, "Be Internet Awesome," created some family resources, and those were on that site as well. I was looking at those discussions. Those are discussions I can have with my family, and with my own children at home. So there are things that I can do as a parent, and there are things, I mean, we all know adults should be looking at these competencies to and try to clean up our digital footprint. Right? Fair enough?Larry Burden 16:24 I'm speechless really.Danelle Brostrom 16:26 But I just, I think that this stuff is good for everyone.Larry Burden 16:30 When you're having these conversations with your child. Allow the time to have the conversation. Give them the time to consider. Because some of the conversations, some of these thoughts aren't necessarily going to be things that they're going to want, A: want to have conversations around, and B: have thoughts ready. They're going to need some time to kind of consider. And if we're rushing, there you're going to feel rushed and frustrated and then that conversation is not going to take place. So if you are having that conversation, make sure that you're giving the time for the conversation to really unfold because these are not yes or no answers. These are conversations to be had, and probably some tough ones, because more than likely, as adults, we're not modeling the greatest behavior here.Danelle Brostrom 17:22 And now Larry you have older kids so maybe, I mean tell me if I'm totally off base on this one but, I think it needs to be a conversation to, it doesn't need to be you know preachy because I think that it's valuable, their opinion with technology. And you know, that they see it as an extension. And there was an article, I just shared it on Twitter, and it was from a 17 year old who quit social media, and his point that everyone else is on social media and kids think I'm weird because I'm not. Like, that's a perspective that we might not have considered. So to recognize that perspective, and have a conversation about that perspective, instead of coming in preachy as an adult, I think that's important.Larry Burden 18:03 I think in many ways, their relationship with their digital lives is much more mature than adults are. And when I say mature, it's not that they're more mature than adults, but their digital lives have matured as far as their understanding of a digital life, has maturity because they've been on it more. The person that they're bringing isn't as mature, necessarily, but how they're interacting oftentimes is. And I think we need to when we're having those conversations, respect the fact that the information that they're giving us is probably going to have more depth and breadth than we're giving it. And we could probably learn a lot from, how they're interacting with it. Because really our depth of knowledge in the digital environment is going to be, most likely, less than theirs.Danelle Brostrom 18:53 I think the more you can have it be a conversation rather than a preaching, the farther you're gonna get. But adults need to learn these competencies too. I just wanna say that.Larry Burden 19:02 And to be honest, I mean that's really what our, what our what this podcast audience is, is adults,Danelle Brostrom 19:06 For sure, we all need to look.Larry Burden 19:08 We have to recognize, and I think any adult that's listening to this, is listening to it because they're thoughtful about this topic. So, when we, when we're reticent about bringing it up as adults, it's very clear why, that there's work to be done.Danelle Brostrom 19:25 There is. So check out DigCitCommit. You can follow them on Twitter. There's also a DigCitCommit hashtag, and then DigCitCommit.org. And again, huge shout-out to the METS Group and Lauren Villaluz for bringing this to that virtual rally, yeah.Larry Burden 19:42 Awesome. Tech Tool of the Week?Techtool of the Week 19:43 Tech Tool of the Week. There is an event coming up. This DigCitCommit group was putting together a DigCitCommit Virtual Congress. They're doing it February, 11th and 12th. Informative inspirational, virtual event, and they've got students speakers, they've got teachers, keynotes, youth leaders, lightning rounds, spotlights of successful digital initiatives. It's super, super cool and there's stuff going on for two days straight. So I would, I already signed up to attend and I'm just gonna check on the ones that fit with my schedule. But I think this is so cool, and you can use a lot of these with, with students, check that out. I'm DigCitCommit.org and it's found under the events section.Larry Burden 20:30 Awesome. Tutorials and Updates, just want to let you know there's gonna be more posts coming soon. I have to get a TechNollerGist podcast out here relatively soon. But on my end, there's a lot of, I was backed up with a lot of editing. So there's a lot of stuff that is going to be happening hopefully soon on the EdTech Loop podcast so stay tuned. For instance prepare for the return of transcripts. I'm like six episodes behind on transcripts so those will be coming up because we do actually respect some of those ADA requirements and, I really want to make sure that our podcast is available for everybody.Danelle Brostrom 21:05 Very inclusive of you Larry,Larry Burden 21:06 Yes we're, we're trying, we are definitely trying. This is something new that I'm going to bring up, and I just came up with it so.Danelle Brostrom 21:12 Is that why you didn't prep me ahead of time?Larry Burden 21:12 Absolutely. This is not really a segment. This is just I want to end, I want to before we go into the closing, I want to put this in there. And we need to title because my title is, "I Demand Answers," but that seems a little forceful. But I want to have a question at the end of every pod, every pod to spark that discussion. And this one's really simple. How do you included DigCit in your, in your curriculum? We know what needs to be included. There's not necessarily any spot specifically for it. So I'm really curious on how educators are attempting to incorporate digital citizenship and those lessons into their, into their curriculum, how do you make it work?Danelle Brostrom 21:32 And how you make it work after listening to this podcast today?Larry Burden 21:53 Bingo, Bingo. So, in closing, follow us on Facebook and Twitter @tcapsloop,Danelle Brostrom 21:58 @brostromda,Larry Burden 21:59 bringing my A game, subscribe to the podcast on Podbean, iTunes, Stitcher, Tune-in Downcast, Overcast, Google Play Store, Spotify or wherever else you get your ear candy.

We've heeded the wise writing of "Ditch your Textbook's" Matt Miller, and hope to help you make your next PD not stink. We've all been there. You're partially through a session or keynote and are trying to decide if it's worth your time to sit through the rest. This episode will share some tips to make you a better presenter and help keep your colleagues engaged so they won't decide they have better things to do than listen to you. Useful Links:http://ditchthattextbook.com/2019/09/25/27-tips-to-deliver-powerful-professional-development/Jennifer Gonzalez covered this topic in the Cult of Pedagogy podcast as well…Gamestorming: https://gamestorming.com/METS at miGoogle  The Un-redacted Transcript Danelle Brostrom  0:00  That's not what is says on your business card Larry Burden  0:11  It is not an inspiring car. Danelle Brostrom  0:13  It gets great gas mileage, Larry Burden  0:15  striving for mediocrity. Larry Burden  0:18  Drives like a peach, hon. Larry Burden  0:23  It's episode 90 of the EdTechLoop podcast, My name is Larry Burden, and she's decided to ditch my suggested pod topic, it's Danelle Brostrom. You can't find true wisdom from a textbook, but you can find it in this week's moment of Zen.  Moment of Zen  0:39  When you see a good person, Think of becoming like her or him. When you see someone not so good. Reflect on your own weak points.  Larry Burden  0:49  In an effort to develop a more professional palette, we've consulted the experts on how to better prepare, This, this week's meat of the show, making PD better professional development better. We've all been there. We have been into that session, and that keynote. Depends on your level of politeness. Do you sit through the whole session? Or do you get up and...  Danelle Brostrom  1:12  I sit through the session.  Larry Burden  1:14  I respect, see now I can go in and I'll have like a camera or something trying to get some shots are record it. And I have to go to the next session because I you know, I have to try to get a swath of information out of this, so. Danelle Brostrom  1:28  Yeah, but sometimes you can't choose. Sometimes you're stuck in that bad PD because that's the PD you have to take. And then you're stuck. Larry Burden  1:35  There is that yeah,  Danelle Brostrom  1:36  yeah, Larry Burden  1:36  The initial pod topic that I was going to talk about, Danelle Brostrom  1:39  that I ditched, Larry Burden  1:41  Which I thought was going to be a winner, because we're going to talk about your favorite subject, Liz Kolb. She had a keynote this year at WiredTC. And I was actually going to talk about her keynote and the fact that she did not...she wasted no time. She basically came up there. And it was it was a different, a different vibe than most keynotes that I've been to because she was basically like, I'm a professional, you're a professional, you're here to get some information from me, I am giving you that information. Let's do this. Let's act like professionals. And I was looking through some of the resources that you had brought up. And I'm like, Yeah, like that. Danelle Brostrom  2:22  Yeah, yeah, she was amazing. And, you know, the reason I ditched your topic, Larry, Matt Miller had a great post the other day on Twitter. And he's the writer of, "Ditch that Textbook." And he talked a lot about PD, and how sometimes it can be awful. And we've all sat through it. So he gave a ton of ideas on ways to make PD better, and then throw it out to the group. And it just kind of got me thinking that we do need to talk about this since the beginning of the year, and we're all a little rusty. So it's a good time to bring this back. And I'm guilty of this too, you know, you I've gone in and I've had so much information to present and very little time to do it. So I went wide instead of deep with a few topics. And I just, I bored them to death as I read from the slideshow, because I, I got nervous. And I knew I had a lot to cover. And, oh, ick, I hate that I falter to that if I'm not careful. So I think it's something to be aware of and really, really think about. And when you know better you do better. So Let's, let's go through some of these things.  Larry Burden  3:26  Make it useful.  Danelle Brostrom  3:26  Let's make it useful.  Larry Burden  3:27  So there's 21 I don't know if we're gonna make it through all 21.  Danelle Brostrom  3:29  No, I didn't want, I want to talk about the big ones. Larry Burden  3:33  Okay, the first you have one specific one, because I want your explanation on this. So Danelle Brostrom  3:38  The first one, I think he talked about this in a couple different ways. But I really think you need to think about your audience. And like you mentioned, Liz really did that she talked to her audience like they were professionals. But I think you need to find out where your audience is at, try to figure out what they're thinking, read your audience. Don't just read from your slideshow, look at them and kind of see how they're taking in the information. And I think just really trying to connect with them. So, you can ask them questions while you're there. You can try to ask them questions beforehand and a survey. But I think just finding out where your audience is coming from, and then trying to connect with them is like the number one thing you need to remember with doing PD, always.  Larry Burden  4:21  I have a feeling a lot of these are going to also apply to being a classroom teacher. It's kind of the same thing. It is kind of funny that oftentimes, especially in our field, the people that we're getting professional development, who are running these sessions are teachers, and then they get into this environment, and all those pedagogical... Danelle Brostrom  4:41  Good word  Larry Burden  4:42  Skills kind of seem to go, sometimes, tend to go out the window. So anyway, I just wanted to... Danelle Brostrom  4:47  No, I'm so glad you brought that up. Because yes, 100%. We are amazing educators and we deliver content to students in a way that is creative and interesting. And we make it fun. And we do all, we do it hands on, and then we get into PD mode and we go back to that lecture base. And I don't know why we forget all those things. You know, adults do learn differently. And there are some things that we can talk about at a later date. But for the most part, the adults deserve that same respect, and they should also...  Larry Burden  5:25  Taller children, with a shorter attention span. Danelle Brostrom  5:28  True, especially teachers. But they deserve that same respect. They deserve PD that is creative, and inspiring, and interesting, and hands on, and I think Jennifer Gonzales covered this in a Cult of Pedagogy podcast, a while ago. But, she said the same thing. Like, treated just like teaching. Make a hands-on, differentiate, use guided practice. Like all those things that you know how to do with children, do them with adults in PD to. And yes, we should 100% be doing that. Larry Burden  6:00  Got you off track, sorry. Danelle Brostrom  6:01  No, that was that was on track, always.  Larry Burden  6:04  One time, one time I kept us on track. Danelle Brostrom  6:08  And I think, I think and Matt Miller mentions this too, when he talks about giving them hands on practice, and giving them time to talk about what they're learning, and including a variety of examples. Like, again, all those are teacher tips that we shouldn't be doing. If, if you just deliver your content, and they never get a chance to talk about it. I think if you look at the research from Joyce and Showers, this resource on, research on coaching, but it's still says if you're just giving them theory all the time, it, only like five or 10% of the people are going to retain it and actually use it. So, you obviously want more than that, if you're taking the time to do a PD wasting everyone's, not wasting everyone's time, I did not mean that. But... Larry Burden  6:49  Maximizing their time. Danelle Brostrom  6:49  Maximizing their time, you have to make sure that you're doing more. You need to give them a chance to talk. You to give them a chance to try the tool with you there, walking around. Or just giving them a bunch of examples about how this, this can apply to these different situations. How can this apply to you as a third grade teacher? How Can this apply to you as an 11th grade teacher? Like how does this, how does this work? Like let's actually dive in and look at it instead of just, here's what I need to teach you. Larry Burden  7:18  Earlier, I had mentioned that, you know, Liz Kolb had kind of gone directly into the topic and into the research very quickly. It doesn't mean you have to ditch the narrative. It's okay to tell a story and include the learning in, in a story. That's going to be more compelling, it's going to be, oftentimes that the person that session, or listening to that keynote, is going to have five more that day. There's a lot of information coming in, you're going to have to have some kind of a hook for it to be retained. Danelle Brostrom  7:53  For sure. And I want to see us make PD more fun. Like, I sometimes I dread seeing those PD blocks on my calendar, those things that I have to go to because I think that it's going to be two hours or so that I'm going to be missing away from my family. How can, how can we make PD more fun? How could we, as presenters, could we, you know, change it up with a game or give them a short funny video. Like, when they're having fun, and research will tell us this one learning is enjoyable, better learning takes place. So, that goes for adults and for kids. So, never design a training you and want to set through yourself. You know, let's let's make it, Let's make it fun. Larry Burden  8:42  While then going back to what you had said, I think, your first point, have some empathy as well. Recognize that it has to be fun for you or something that you see as fun, but take yourself out of it for a second and recognize that other people might have different interests or different points of view, and at least have that level of empathy.  Danelle Brostrom  9:01  For sure.  Larry Burden  9:01  What else Danelle Brostrom  9:03  I really liked one of the topics or one of the tips that Matt Miller mentioned was to be your own unique self. And I think that this is something I really don't do. And I think it was something that I'd like to start. It just, he just talks about if you have a skill or talent, how can you use that to enhance your professional development? If You can sing or play an instrument? Could you create a song? If you can draw, or at least are willing to try, could you sketchnote your session as it's being presented? If you have a knack for making videos, make some of your own videos to include. I think that those are great ideas, because it just helps people connect with you. Especially if you're willing to be a little silly, or a little, a little different. I think that will help them remember what you're doing as well. Larry Burden  9:47  As long as you’re topical. Danelle Brostrom  9:48  Oh, of course. Larry Burden  9:49  As long as your on topic that, I think  Danelle Brostrom  9:51  100% Yes,  Larry Burden  9:52  I'm going to guess you're gonna get to this. No to Edutainment. If you're up there just trying to grandstand and look at my video that I made.  Danelle Brostrom  10:04  Right, right. Right. Right. Right,  Larry Burden  10:05  It might be compelling. But if it's, if it has nothing to do with your topic, or maybe kind of does. They're spending time with you, make sure that time is well used. Danelle Brostrom  10:16  Yes. 100%. Yes. And then the other one that I really thought was important. Just to keep the conversation going. They're, typically when you deliver a PD is something that you want them to do in their classrooms. So, how are you going to keep that conversation going, They're going to struggle, they're going to have, need, they're going to need you. They're going to need that group of learners that they learned with. So how do you keep that conversation going after? Do have them connect with you on Twitter? Do you have a Google Classroom setup so that way they can come on and ask questions later. It's just a nice way for people to have that recurring conversation and actually move the needle. Larry Burden  10:52  I don't know what this one was. I'm gonna throw it out there.  Danelle Brostrom  10:54  Yeah.  Larry Burden  10:55  Speed dating activity. I have not witnessed this. I don't know what it actually it was. It was in his list. Yes. Did you read it? And have you done it? In a professional development setting. Want to clarify. Danelle Brostrom  11:09  Going back, Larry, I did. I have done that before? I don't love that one. Honestly, unless I'm comfortable with the people around me. I don't always like... Larry Burden  11:21  Because you're such an introvert. I recognized Danelle Brostrom  11:23  sometimes I am. Sometimes, I don't know. Larry Burden  11:26  Every, everybody that knows you right now is like...right. Danelle Brostrom  11:29  You asked me. Sometimes I don't like it. Because sometimes I'm talking to people that I don't know about topics that I don't feel comfortable talking to people about. But I guess it gets people talking, which is what you want. You want people to be talking, you want them to have conversations, which it does. So Yes, Larry Burden  11:46  It would push me out of my comfort zone as well. But sometimes you do have to do, if you're going, if you're going to go to a professional development seminar or professional development situation, you should be willing to be pushed out of your comfort zone.  Danelle Brostrom  11:57  Yes, yes, yes. But there's also some ideas that I think that connect to this PD topic. Things that I personally want to try. Gamestorming is a new thing that's kind of been making the rounds within the ed tech leaders. And it's a way of looking at, it says it's a set of co-creation tools used by innovators around the world, is what it says on their website. But it's really just, it's games, games, for opening, games for fresh thinking and ideas, games for team building, game for vision and strategy building. And I think that a lot of these ideas that they use on the gamestorming site, could be very easily adapted to PD. So I'm, I know I'm ordering the playbook. So that way, I can have some more ideas on how to use these resources. But that's definitely something that I'm going to be doing some personal research on, because I think that could help enhance PD. And again, include that conversation, we got people talking. And then another thing I want to mention on the METS Group, the Michigan Educational Technology Specialist, they are doing a session at MyGoogle this year. And it's a workshop session. It's on November 4 in the morning. And it's, now it's made for ed tech coaches. It's a session on ed tech coaching. But man, if anybody, If anybody locally, I say locally, statewide, knows how to deliver a good PD. It's that METS Group, that's kind of their specialty. Every PD I've ever gone to, and anything I've done with that group, they've been amazing at making PD not stink. So I think if you want to go, even if you're not an ed-tech specialist, if you are in this coaching role, or you are in an administrative role, and you deliver a PD, go to this with with, with that lens. They're going to talk about gamestorming. And they're going to go through some different ideas on how to deliver PD better. But, also kind of watch them and how they deliver PD because I think that you can learn a lot sitting in something that is really, really good. Larry Burden  13:48  Not only take notes on the content, take notes on the presenter. Danelle Brostrom  13:50  Because they're going to be amazing. Yeah, I'm sure of it. They deliver amazing PD. And that's kind of their thing. So go and learn what they do.  Larry Burden  13:57  Anything else? Danelle Brostrom  13:58  I have nothing else on that.  Larry Burden  14:00  All right, Tech Tool of the Week.  Techtool of the Week  14:04  Kind of related, Remote for Slides. This is a game changer. It is a Chrome extension. So you add it on to your device. And then there's a website that you go to, and you go to that website on your phone, and then you can control your Google Slideshow through your phone. So all of a sudden bye bye clicker. I cannot tell you how many times I have lost, when I've been presenting out and... Larry Burden  14:35  What's it called?  Danelle Brostrom  14:35  without the dongle. I have lost that I've left it plugged into machines. And then I've had to go say to Mr. Hicks, I need a new clicker. And It's really embarrassing. But, all I do is I just pull it up on my phone, and then I can run through my Google slideshow from anywhere. And It's amazing. And it's kind of a game changer for those who deliver a lot of PD.  Larry Burden  14:56  If you're presenter that's...  Danelle Brostrom  14:58  Yeah, Larry Burden  14:59  Invariably your batteries are out. You forgot the dongles. Somebody else brings a clicker in, it doesn't quite work. It doesn't sync, it has to down, it has to download the app, it has ya know, firmware issues. It's always something that goes wrong with the clicker. So to actually have it on your phone and just bink, bink, bink. That's awesome. Danelle Brostrom  15:17  Crazy easy. Crazy fast to setup. I think, from when I found it to when I was rolling through walking around the office telling everyone I know hey, check this out, guys. Maybe like four minutes. It's amazing. Larry Burden  15:30  Tutorials and updates. We did a BiblioTech pod just a few days ago with Melissa Baumann on middle school libraries. That was really really interesting. Danelle Brostrom  15:39  The better Baumann, I like that. I listen. Larry Burden  15:42  Sorry, Andy. TechNollergist is actually up next week, first TechNollergist of the year. Very excited about that. I had a really interesting experience before I came down here and this is as far away from edu-tech as you could possibly get, I think. And it was a Stone Soup gathering. And I don't know if you're familiar with the Stone Soup parable, I'm sure everybody is, you've read the books. It's been around obviously for ever. But, an entire school, classroom, by classroom was going in and adding things to the big soup pot and you know, they put a stone in. Every, every class got to put one stone in. And it's a great way to A, incorporate the idea of sharing and caring into your school community. But also a great way to include the entire community, not just the school, but your local farmers. The school that we were at at had their own community gardens, so they actually used a lot of their own herbs and spices and things that they had grown. But we also had, they also had some local vendors come in and help with ingredients. It was fabulous. And they've done it for two years now. And it was neat to see the older students commenting on what it means. Any comments on Stone Soup? Your'e all, I wanted to be there. Danelle Brostrom  16:58  I did want to be there. Larry Burden  16:59  It smelled great by-the-way. Danelle Brostrom  17:00  It's a good reminder that it takes a team to make something awesome. Larry Burden  17:02  Yeah, yeah.

How many times can I say it? Thank you for listening and, inspiring. Danelle Brostrom  17:31  You always say something else, Larry. Larry Burden  17:34  I don't know what to do with the rest of my day.

Sellun tarve maailmalla kasvaa hyvää kyytiä muun muassa Kiinan ja muun Kauko-Idän talouksien vahvistumisen myötä. Vessapaperia ja muita pehmopaperituotteita käyttää siis yhä useampi. Metsä Group teki onnistuneen investoinnin Äänekoskelle, jossa jalostetaan Keski-Suomen metsissä kasvanutta puuta selluksi, jota hyvällä hinnalla myydään maailmalle juuri tuon mainitun toalettipaperin raaka-aineeksi. Nyt Metsä Group on aloittamassa uuden ison investoinnin suunnittelua ja laskentaa. Kemin tehdaslaitos tarvitsee uudistuksen. Pohdinnan kohteena on senkin muuttaminen Äänekosken kaltaiseksi huomattavasti tehokkaammaksi yksiköksi. Nämä kaavailut ovat siis vasta alkuvaiheessaan. Mutta se on selvää, että Kemin kapasiteettia lisätään jatkossa tavalla tai toisella ja tämä merkitsee sitä, että raaka-ainetta tarvitaan koko ajan enemmän ja enemmän. Jotta invetoinnista tulisi kannattava on koko ketju pantava kuntoon. Yksi mielenkiintoinen osa asiassa on kuolinpesien aktivointi. Juuri pohjoisessa Suomessa on paljon tahdottomiksi lamaantuneita kuolinpesiä, joilla voi olla hallinnassaan isojakin metsäomaisuuksia. Metsäradion reportteri Olli Ihamäki haastatteli piiripäällikkö Jaakko Parpalaa. Kuva: Olli Ihamäki / Yle
