Today we are talking about AI Marketing,Marketing Trends, and The caber toss with guest Hayden Baillio. We'll also cover Drupal core 11.3 as our module of the week. For show notes visit: https://www.talkingDrupal.com/532 Topics AI in Marketing: Hayden's Insights The Role of AI in Content Creation Challenges and Ethical Considerations of AI AI Training Data and Bias AI in Security Testing AI Replacing Jobs The Future of Marketing with AI Highland Games and Personal Hobbies Resources Drupal core 11.3 release highlights Carsinisation Guests Hayden Baillio - hounder.co hgbaillio Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Fei Lauren - feilauren MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - mandclu.com mandclu Brief description: Have you been wanting a version of Drupal core that moves away from the hooks system, has PHP 8.5 support, or has better support for asynchronous queries? The newly released Drupal core 11.3 has all these and more. Module name/project name: Drupal core 11.3 Brief history Created in the last few days (hopefully) by the time this episode is released Changes Performance improvements New MYSQLi database driver. In combination with the PHP Fibers support added in Drupal 10.2, this should allow Drupal sites to run much faster. Not all hosting environments will have PHP configured to work with the new driver, so for now the new driver is in an experimental core module you will need to install to try the new driver Drupal can now lazy load multiple entities at a time using Fibers PHP 8.5 support should also improve performance, as will a number of caching improvements Some early testing in the community indicates some significant improvements for pages loaded from cold cache, anywhere from 30 to 40% fewer queries One of the significant changes in Drupal core 11.2 was the addition of HTMX as the intended successor to Drupal's older AJAX system. Drupal core 11.3 includes some significant steps on the path to replacing all the places that AJAX system in core There's a new HTMX factory object with methods to abstract the specifics of the attributes and headers needed to implement HTMX HTMX is now used for the Form Builder and ConfigSingleExportForm BigPipe no longer uses the older AJAX API, which itself uses jQuery New Workspace Provider concept, will be interesting to see what new possibilities this creates New administer node published status permission, previously required the much broader "administer nodes" permission Drupal core 11.3 also includes some capabilities that previously required contrib modules Links created within CKEditor5 now dynamically link to the entity and when rendered will automatically point to the most recent alias. Previously Drupal sites needed the Linkit module, which has been part of Drupal CMS since its release at the start of the year Drupal CMS is also heavily based on Drupal's recipe system, which includes the ability to automatically import content included within a recipe. Until now you still needed the default_content module to export content as YAML for inclusion in a recipe. With Drupal 11.3 you can export all entities of a particular type, optionally filtered by bundle, and optionally including all dependencies Many of Drupal's remaining hooks, particularly those for themes, now have OOP class replacements, so we're now very close to being able to deprecate .module and .theme files Listeners may remember that the Navigation module was added as an experimental module in Drupal core 10.3. In 11.3, the module is now officially stable, so the rethought admin menu that originally debuted as part of the Gin admin theme is now fully realized in Drupal core SDCs can now be marked to be excluded from the UI, for example if they are meant to only be nested within other components Drupal core 11.3 also introduces some new deprecations: Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI officially deprecated now that Drupal 7 is EOL Also field_layout, which was ultimately superseded by Layout Builder Promoted and Sticky fields are now hidden by default (an issue created more than 20 years ago! A five digit issue ID) - the user who created it had a drop.org username lol Another issue that sets the "Promoted" default value to FALSE for new content types was also resolved, but only 15 years old. It had a six-digit issue ID - barely! Theme engines have been deprecated! This may be the last feature release of Drupal core before version 12, which could drop as early as June 2026 We'll include a link to the release highlights, but by the time you hear this there should also be an official announcement from Gabor and the DA with additional details
In dieser Studiosofa-Episode haben wir während der LEaT con mit Roger Schult von roger schult german audio lab über das, was gute Audio-Hardware wirklich ausmacht, gesprochen: technische Konsequenz, saubere Stromversorgung, durchdachte Signalführung und der Mut, Dinge anders zu lösen als „der Markt“ es erwartet. Roger erzählt, wie er aus der Messtechnik und Automotivwelt kommt, warum ihn Brummschleifen und HF-Störungen seit Jahren beschäftigen – und wie daraus Produkte wie sein galvanisch getrennter USB-Interface „Kodi“ oder ein Mid/Side-Decoder mit klassischen Transformatoren entstanden sind. Dazu geht's um seine 500er-Module, Stereo-Module im Ein-Slot-Format, die Idee hinter seiner Lunchbox und die Frage, ob und wie Analog-Hersteller heute überhaupt sinnvoll „DAW-steuerbar“ werden können, ohne im Treiber-Support zu ertrinken. Und ja: Whisky kommt auch vor. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

If you think 2025 was a property boom, you’ve been lied to. Prices did rise — but not because Australia suddenly got richer, smarter or more confident. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin dismantles the popular boom narrative and explains why 2025 was really a policy-driven bottleneck that quietly rewarded a small group of prepared investors — while leaving many others exposed. Bushy breaks down how record-low listings, decade-low construction, surging migration and government-engineered price bands combined to create intense pressure in very specific parts of the market. The result? Some Australians made a year’s wage in equity without fanfare, while others chased hotspots, followed influencers, and overpaid for the wrong property in the wrong location — often without realising it yet. In this solo episode, Bushy reveals the three real forces that pushed prices higher even as affordability hit rock bottom, why 2025 was never an “equal boom”, and how national policy settings funnelled buyers into the same narrow price band — creating artificial competition in so-called “affordable” markets. He also revisits his proven 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Incomes, Industry) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) framework, showing why fundamentals — not FOMO — explained where growth actually occurred. Most importantly, Bushy outlines why strategy must come before location, and why borderless analysis paired with strong local execution is the smarter way to invest. Stick with Bushy to the end and you’ll walk away with a clear, practical three-step checklist you can use before buying anything in 2026 — because next year isn’t about prediction, it’s about positioning. This episode is essential listening for investors who want to live by design, not by default.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Drupal Remote Dashboard (DRD) Brief history How old: created in Jan 2010 by Jürgen Haas (jurgenhaas) of LakeDrops Versions available: 4.1.7 which works with Drupal 10 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Full Documentation Guide Number of open issues: 22 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch Usage stats: 126 sites Module features and usage With the module enabled, for each monitored site you'll be able to review information like the version of core, modules, and themes, as well as the status report. Note that the dashboard and monitored sites do NOT need to be on the same major version of core. You can also collect any block from a remote site to include on your dashboard, or access the error logs to review them in the dashboard You can execute maintenance tasks like taking sites in or out of maintenance mode, running cron or update.php, as well as flushing cache The dashboard will also allow you to rebuild job schedulers, update translations from drupal.org, change user credentials, or execute arbitrary PHP code, so you'll definitely want to be selective about who will have access From the collected status information you can show a status widget for each domain to display grouped traffic light status levels for security, health, tuning, seo and others. You can also create aggregate status widgets, for example to show the composite health of all sites in a multisite installation. Internally DRD is built around a number of entities, and the documentation includes an architecture page with an Entity Relationship Diagram, while the glossary page includes a description for each of the entities and what Drupal site information they map to. Obviously security for this kind of setup is paramount, and there's a documentation page that details the encryption and authentication methods that are supported Sites that you want to monitor will need to have the DRD Agent module installed, which provides a simple wrapper to receive, route, handle and respond to requests from authorised Drupal Remote Dashboards. It's worth pointing out that the RDR Agent module is in use by 3,152 sites according to drupal.org, so there may be a small number of sites acting as dashboards, but on average each of them is monitoring 25 sites.
What if the very thing you keep trying to control is the thing that's silently keeping you stuck?In this powerful excerpt from our free masterclass Tantra Unveiled, Chantelle breaks open one of Tantra's most liberating truths: we don't transform by fixing, analysing or regulating ourselves… we transform by feeling what is actually here, now.She reveals why so many people spend years in therapy, mindset work or meditation and still feel anxious, shut down or disconnected:Because the mind keeps reliving the past and projecting into the future, and almost no one teaches us how to actually be human - how to feel our emotional body, how to harness our erotic energy, how to trust life instead of manage it.Today's episode breaks down the outdated beliefs we carry about healing and invites us into the questions that open the doorway to real transformationWhat if safety doesn't come from controlling life, but from meeting life as it is?What if your nervous system isn't meant to stay regulated, but to move - to feel both expansion and intensity without collapsing?What if the wisdom inside your body is more accurate than anything you've ever learned about yourself?Chantelle shares the core tantric teaching that changes everything for practitioners and seekers alike:“Suffering isn't created by pain - it's created by being in conflict with what is.”Instead of bypassing or analysing experience, Tantra invites us into radical honesty with the body:What's here now?Where does it live in me?Can I stay with it, without trying to fix or control it?For those called to the practitioner path, this episode is an initiation into the heart of why Tantra is not just another modality. It's the one that finally stops the endless cycle of fixing, analysing, and seeking. It's about becoming the kind of presence that shows people how to be alive, how to feel, how to trust themselves, and how to meet every moment without abandoning who they are. This is the level of embodiment, sovereignty, and honesty that clients are starving for because it's what actually creates lasting change.Tantra places the body the felt sense, the emotional truth, the erotic aliveness, back at the centre of healing. It awakens practitioners into a modality that doesn't keep people in perpetual processing, but returns them to the knowing that they are enough, they are whole, and they are capable of meeting life as it is.

Steve's body has endured many things over 35 years, but this week, it underwent a comprehensive test, which was carried out (for reasons which aren't completely clear) to determine his biological age. Whilst The Great Leader didn't explicitly sign off on this, he was content for the results to be delivered on the radio, to the nation. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Laura. Thank you.
The Transformed Course is for Christians who are struggling to make spiritual progress. It offers a Biblical approach that replaces the medical model. It's not only for people who have become dependent or addicted, but anyone who believes in the word of God and yet struggles to know how to put it into practice. The course has four modules PREPARATION, FOUNDATION, GROUND FLOOR and FIRST FLOOR. and uses the metaphor of buiding a new life which the Lord uses in Matthew 7 starting from verse 24. In this session, we see the work of preparation begin with the question of COST. Lots of questions and comments that lead to further clarity on the profound idea of inner discipling. These videos were filmed at the Message Trust in Wythenshaw in 2025. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sXuWfyCScQfnrJbDA Please consider sharing this course with anyone who might benefit. If you want to know more or are considering the course for your Church, contact us on info@buildingrecovery.org There is a book that accompanies the course called "I'm a Christian, so why am I still...".

Australian property investors are being misled by headlines - here’s why location, not media noise, will determine who wins in 2025. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with long-time favourite and one of Australia’s most respected property research analysts, Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting and author of Why Property Values Rise. Together they cut through the noise to reveal what really drives sustainable property growth - and why most investors never build the portfolio they dream of. Terry unpacks why 70–80% of value growth comes down to local area selection, not the property itself, and why treating Australia as “one market” is lazy and dangerous. He explains how $900B+ of infrastructure is reshaping jobs, incomes and housing demand across thousands of micro-markets - and why forward-looking indicators matter far more than backward-looking stats. From the rise of apartments and overlooked suburbs, to the spectacular failure of doom-and-gloom forecasts, Bushy and Terry give investors a practical GPS for choosing outperforming locations using Terry’s EMPIRICAL formula alongside Bushy’s 3I’s & 3P’s. If you’re serious about building a lifestyle-funding portfolio - not just a random collection of properties - this conversation is essential listening.

This is the opening chapter of a new program that I've been sitting on for a while now, which I call: Anchoring The Vision... which is a step by step guide of how to ground your vision into tangible reality. A lot of people have peak experiences and catch a glimpse of future timelines; of what could be (the greater vision), but have extreme difficulty in staying committed AND in knowing how to ground this vision into the physical world. If you want to learn how to do so with time-tested systems, frameworks, structure and more, drawing from ancient wisdom and modern mindset, consider this your program to learn exactly how to do it. If you want access to the entire first Module for free, punch your email into the link below and I'll send it out as soon as it's released. ⏩ https://www.caiyudakiora.com/vision See you in there. --- CONNECT WITH CAIYUDA
Australian property investors are selling up in record numbers – and the 2025 PIPA Investor Survey finally reveals why. In this solo episode, Bushy Martin breaks down the truth behind the rental crisis and what it really means for everyday Australians trying to build wealth. Bushy unpacks the biggest shifts in this year’s PIPA survey, including: Record investor exits (16% sold in the last year) and why most of those properties left the rental market. Costs rising 10–40% while 65% of investors are passing on less than 10% to tenants. Major fear triggers like negative gearing reform, CGT changes, land tax hikes and compliance blowouts. State-level pain, with QLD and VIC hit hardest. A surprising silver lining — nearly 60% of investors still believe it’s a good time to buy. He then zooms out to reveal the bigger truth most commentators are missing: You don’t fix a shortage by shrinking the supply. Investor exits mean fewer rentals, higher rents and more pressure on the people who can least afford it. Bushy also shares his foresight on what’s coming next — from the likely intensification of the rental crunch to interest rate expectations and why contrarian investors may quietly win the next cycle. Finally, he gives you his clear GPS for what to do now: Strengthen emotional resilience and think long-term Stress-test your buffers and compliance load Avoid hype, focus on fundamentals and buy where true scarcity exists PIPA Resources This episode draws on insights from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA).

https://inside.java/2025/10/22/http3-support/ JDK 26 introduit le support de HTTP/3 dans l'API HttpClient existante depuis Java 11 HTTP/3 utilise le protocole QUIC sur UDP au lieu de TCP utilisé par HTTP/2 Par défaut HttpClient préfère HTTP/2, il faut explicitement configurer HTTP/3 avec Version.HTTP_3 Le client effectue automatiquement un downgrade vers HTTP/2 puis HTTP/1.1 si le serveur ne supporte pas HTTP/3 On peut forcer l'utilisation exclusive de HTTP/3 avec l'option H3_DISCOVERY en mode HTTP_3_URI_ONLY HttpClient apprend qu'un serveur supporte HTTP/3 via le header alt-svc (RFC 7838) et utilise cette info pour les requêtes suivantes La première requête peut utiliser HTTP/2 même avec HTTP/3 préféré, mais la seconde utilisera HTTP/3 si le serveur l'annonce L'équipe OpenJDK

https://webtide.com/end-of-life-changes-to-eclipse-jetty-and-cometd/ À partir du 1er janvier 2026, Webtide ne publiera plus Jetty 9/10/11 et CometD 5/6/7 sur Maven Central Pendant 20 ans, Webtide a financé les projets Jetty et CometD via services et support, publiant gratuitement les mises à jour EOL Le comportement des entreprises a changé : beaucoup cherchent juste du gratuit plutôt que du véritable support Des sociétés utilisent des versions de plus de 10 ans sans migrer tant que les correctifs CVE sont gratuits Cette politique gratuite a involontairement encouragé la complaisance et retardé les migrations vers versions récentes MITRE développe des changements au système CVE pour mieux gérer les concepts d'EOL Webtide lance un programme de partenariat avec TuxCare et HeroDevs pour distribuer les résolutions CVE des versions EOL Les binaires EOL seront désormais distribués uniquement aux clients commerciaux et via le réseau de partenaires Webtide continue le support standard open-source : quand Jetty 13 sortira, Jetty 12.1 recevra des mises à jour pendant 6 mois à un an Ce changement vise à clarifier la politique EOL avec une terminologie industrielle établie Améliorations cloud du SDK A2A Java https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-a2a-cloud-enhancements/ Version 0.3.0.Final du SDK A2A Java apporte des améliorations pour les environnements cloud et distribués

inspirée de Streamlit pour faire facilement et rapidement des petites interfaces web https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/10/24/javelit-to-create-quick-interactive-app-frontends-in-java/ Site web du projet : https://javelit.io/ Javelit : outil pour créer rapidement des applications de données (mais pas que) en Java. Simplifie le développement : élimine les tracas du frontend et de la gestion des événements. Transforme une classe Java en application web en quelques minutes. Inspiré par la simplicité de Streamlit de l'écosystème Python (ou Gradio et Mesop), mais pour Java. Développement axé sur la logique : pas de code standard répétitif (boilerplate), rechargement à chaud. Interactions faciles : les widgets retournent directement leur valeur, sans besoin de HTML/CSS/JS ou gestion d'événements. Déploiement flexible : applications autonomes ou intégrables dans des frameworks Java (Spring, Quarkus, etc.). L'article de Guillaume montre comment créer une petite interface pour créer et modifier des images avec le modèle génératif Nano Banana Un deuxième article montre comment utiliser Javelit pour créer une interface de chat avec LangChain4j https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/10/25/creating-a-javelit-chat-interface-for-langchain4j/ Améliorer l'accessibilité avec les applis JetPack Compose https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/10/29/rendre-son-application-accessible-avec-jetpack-compose/ TalkBack est le lecteur d'écran Android qui vocalise les éléments sélectionnés pour les personnes malvoyantes Accessibility Scanner et les outils Android Studio détectent automatiquement les problèmes d'accessibilité statiques Les images fonctionnelles doivent avoir un contentDescription, les images décoratives contentDescription null Le contraste minimum requis est de 4.5:1 pour le texte normal et 3:1 pour le texte large ou les icônes Les zones cliquables doivent mesurer au minimum 48dp x 48dp pour faciliter l'interaction Les formulaires nécessitent des labels visibles permanents et non de simples placeholders qui disparaissent Modifier.semantics permet de définir l'arbre sémantique lu par les lecteurs d'écran Les propriétés mergeDescendants et traversalIndex contrôlent l'ordre et le regroupement de la lecture Diriger le navigateur Chrome avec le modèle Gemini Computer Use https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/03/driving-a-web-browser-with-gemini-computer-use-model-in-java/ Objectif : Automatiser la navigation web en Java avec le modèle "Computer Use" de Gemini 2.5 Pro. Modèle "Computer Use" : Gemini analyse des captures d'écran et génère des actions d'interface (clic, saisie, etc.). Outils : Gemini API, Java, Playwright (pour l'interaction navigateur). Fonctionnement : Boucle agent où Gemini reçoit une capture, propose une action, Playwright l'exécute, puis une nouvelle capture est envoyée à Gemini. Implémentation clé : Toujours envoyer une capture d'écran à Gemini après chaque action pour qu'il comprenne l'état actuel. Défis : Lenteur, gestion des CAPTCHA et pop-ups (gérables). Potentiel : Automatisation des tâches web répétitives, création d'agents autonomes. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Apicurio ajoute le support de nouveaux schema sans reconstruire Apicurio https://www.apicur.io/blog/2025/10/27/custom-artifact-types Apicurio Registry 3.1.0 permet d'ajouter des types d'artefacts personnalisés au moment du déploiement sans recompiler le projet Supporte nativement OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Avro, JSON Schema, Protobuf, GraphQL, WSDL et XSD Trois approches d'implémentation disponibles : classes Java pour la performance maximale, JavaScript/TypeScript pour la facilité de développement, ou webhooks pour une flexibilité totale Configuration via un simple fichier JSON pointant vers les implémentations des composants personnalisés Les scripts JavaScript sont exécutés via QuickJS dans un environnement sandboxé sécurisé Un package npm TypeScript fournit l'autocomplétion et la sécurité de type pour le développement Six composants optionnels configurables : détection automatique de type, validation, vérification de compatibilité, canonicalisation, déréférencement et recherche de références Cas d'usage typiques : formats propriétaires internes, support RAML, formats legacy comme WADL, schémas spécifiques à un domaine métier Déploiement simple via Docker en montant les fichiers de configuration et scripts comme volumes Les performances varient selon l'approche : Java offre les meilleures performances, JavaScript un bon équilibre, webhooks la flexibilité maximale Le truc interessant c'est que c'est Quarkus based et donc demandait le rebuilt donc pour eviter cela, ils ont ajouter QuickJS via Chicorey un moteur WebAssembly GPT 5.1 pour les développeurs est sorti. https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-1-for-developers/ C'est le meilleur puisque c'est le dernier :slightly_smiling_face: Raisonnement Adaptatif et Efficace : GPT-5.1 ajuste dynamiquement son temps de réflexion en fonction de la complexité de la tâche, le rendant nettement plus rapide et plus économique en jetons pour les tâches simples, tout en maintenant des performances de pointe sur les tâches difficiles. Nouveau Mode « Sans Raisonnement » : Un mode (reasoning_effort='none') a été introduit pour les cas d'utilisation sensibles à la latence, permettant une réponse plus rapide avec une intelligence élevée et une meilleure exécution des outils. Cache de Prompt Étendu : La mise en cache des invites est étendue jusqu'à 24 heures (contre quelques minutes auparavant), ce qui réduit la latence et le coût pour les interactions de longue durée (chats multi-tours, sessions de codage). Les jetons mis en cache sont 90 % moins chers. Améliorations en Codage : Le modèle offre une meilleure personnalité de codage, une qualité de code améliorée et de meilleures performances sur les tâches d'agenticité de code, atteignant 76,3 % sur SWE-bench Verified. Nouveaux Outils pour les Développeurs : Deux nouveaux outils sont introduits ( https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/build_a_coding_agent_with_gpt-5.1 ) : L'outil apply_patch pour des modifications de code plus fiables via des diffs structurés. L'outil shell qui permet au modèle de proposer et d'exécuter des commandes shell sur une machine locale, facilitant les boucles d'inspection et d'exécution. Disponibilité : GPT-5.1 (ainsi que les modèles gpt-5.1-codex) est disponible pour les développeurs sur toutes les plateformes API payantes, avec les mêmes tarifs et limites de débit que GPT-5. Comparaison de similarité d'articles et de documents avec les embedding models https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/12/finding-related-articles-with-vector-embedding-models/ Principe : Convertir les articles en vecteurs numériques ; la similarité sémantique est mesurée par la proximité de ces vecteurs.

Architecture Selon l'analyste RedMonk, Java reste très pertinent dans l'aire de l'IA et des agents https://redmonk.com/jgovernor/java-relevance-in-the-ai-era-agent-frameworks-emerge/ Java reste pertinent à l'ère de l'IA, pas besoin d'apprendre une pile technique entièrement nouvelle. Capacité d'adaptation de Java ("anticorps") aux innovations (Big Data, cloud, IA), le rendant idéal pour les contextes d'entreprise. L'écosystème JVM offre des avantages sur Python pour la logique métier et les applications sophistiquées, notamment en termes de sécurité et d'évolutivité. Embabel (par Rod Johnson, créateur de Spring) : un framework d'agents fortement typé pour JVM, visant le déterminisme des projets avant la génération de code par LLM. LangChain4J : facilite l'accès aux capacités d'IA pour les développeurs Java, s'aligne sur les modèles d'entreprise établis et permet aux LLM d'appeler des méthodes Java. Koog (Jetbrains) : framework d'agents basé sur Kotlin, typé et spécifique aux développeurs JVM/Kotlin. Akka : a pivoté pour se concentrer sur les flux de travail d'agents IA, abordant la complexité, la confiance et les coûts des agents dans les systèmes distribués. Le Model Context Protocol (MCP) est jugé insuffisant, manquant d'explicabilité, de découvrabilité, de capacité à mélanger les modèles, de garde-fous, de gestion de flux, de composabilité et d'intégration sécurisée. Les développeurs Java sont bien placés pour construire des applications compatibles IA et intégrer des agents. Des acteurs majeurs comme IBM, Red Hat et Oracle continuent d'investir massivement dans Java et son intégration avec l'IA. Sécurité AI Deepfake, Hiring … A danger réel https://www.eu-startups.com/2025/10/european-startups-get-serious-about-deepfakes-as-ai-fraud-losses-surpass-e1-3-billion/ Pertes liées aux deepfakes en Europe : > 1,3 milliard € (860 M € rien qu'en 2025). Création de deepfakes désormais possible pour quelques euros. Fraudes : faux entretiens vidéo, usurpations d'identité, arnaques diverses. Startups actives : Acoru, IdentifAI, Trustfull, Innerworks, Keyless (détection et prévention). Réglementation : AI Act et Digital Services Act imposent transparence et contrôle. Recommandations : vérifier identités, former employés, adopter authentification multi-facteurs.

There's a Drupal recipe for that. Module name/project name: AI Ecosystem Recipe Brief history How old: created in Oct 2024 by Marcus Johansson (marcus_johansson of FreelyGive.io Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha2, which requires Drupal 10.3 or newer Maintainership Actively maintained Number of open issues: 2 open issues, both of which are bugs Module features and usage When you require and apply this recipe to your Drupal site, you'll be able to start working with a variety of LLMs and specialized AI-based services You'll be able to ingest unstructured content and map it to structured fields automatically. Or generate a detailed SEO analysis of your nodes. There are multiple translation tools, crawlers to help work across entire sites, and more. This recipe is likely something you would apply to a sandbox site, to understand the various ways to achieve something specific with AI and Drupal, and then apply whatever is best for your use case to your actual site build. But it's a useful resource for a Drupalist wanting to start exploring some of the growing list of options for working with AI, or someone familiar with AI tools who wants to start using them with Drupal.

He started web development as a self-learner after working a few years in print design and DTP back in 2002. Using Flash5 and ActionScript at first, Adam discovered Drupal around 4.6 while looking for a CMS to replace PHPNuke for a local NGO. It was true love at first sight and after a few years of hobby projects and active involvement with the Drupal community in Budapest he ended up being a full-time drupalist at a university where Adam has worked since then for the past 15+ years as "Drupal Systems Architect". Martin Anderson-Clutz Martin is a highly respected figure in the Drupal community, known for his extensive contributions as a developer, speaker, and advocate for open-source innovation. Based in London, Ontario, Canada, Martin began his career as a graphic designer before transitioning into web development. His journey with Drupal started in late 2005 when he was seeking a robust multilingual CMS solution, leading him to embrace Drupal's capabilities. Martin holds the distinction of being the world's first Triple Drupal Grand Master, certified across Drupal 7, 8, and 9 as a Developer, Front-End Specialist, and Back-End Specialist. (TheDropTimes) He also possesses certifications in various Acquia products and is UX certified by the Nielsen Norman Group. Currently serving as a Senior Solutions Engineer at Acquia, Martin has been instrumental in advancing Drupal's ecosystem. He has developed and maintains several contributed modules, including Smart Date and Search Overrides, and has been actively involved in the Drupal Recipes initiative, particularly focusing on event management solutions. His current work on the Event Platform aims to streamline the creation and management of event-based websites within Drupal. Beyond development, Martin is a prominent speaker and educator, having presented at numerous Drupal events such as DrupalCon Barcelona and EvolveDrupal. He is also a co-host of the "Talking Drupal" podcast, where he leads the "Module of the Week" segment, sharing insights on various Drupal modules.

There's a project on drupal.org to help you get started. Module name/project name: Local Association (EU Sites Project) Brief history How old: created in Oct 2023 by Jeremy Chinquist (jjchinquist) of drunomics and Drupal Austria Versions available: dev version only Maintainership Security coverage - opted in, no coverage until stable Documentation guide available to help with setup Number of open issues: 49 open issues, 4 of which are bugs No usage stats available Module features and usage This is an unusual project because it's designed to help you quickly create a Drupal website but it doesn't follow any of the usual patterns I've seen: a distribution, composer project template, or Drupal site template Instead, the recommended path is to clone the repo local, and run a setup script. That creates your DDEV project, runs a composer install and then drush site install, and even runs a drush uli so you can log into your built site with a single click once it's done Along the way it will install a couple of custom modules. One populates a multitude of default content, so you have a populated site including navigation as your starting point. It will look like a clone of the 2022 Drupal Netherlands site, though there have been ongoing tweaks to the overall setup, with the most recent in June of 2025. The other custom module provides some additional layouts for use with layout builder, and the project also includes a theme meant to be customized. As you may have guessed by now, this project started when the Dutch Drupal Association rebuilt their website in 2022, and wanted to share their work with other local associations. Drupal France was the first to adopt it, and there was a BoF at DrupalCon Lille in 2023 to discuss sharing it more widely. Following that, an international workgroup began collaborating to establish this project and it was adopted by Drupal associations in Belgium, Germany, Norway, Finland, and London, England. Since today's topic is about positioning Drupal on the international stage, I thought it would also be interesting to talk about how local Drupal associations have also formed their own federation to reduce effort

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Orchestration Brief history How old: created in Aug 2025 by Jürgen Haas of LakeDrops, in collaboration with Dries, who some of our listeners may be familiar with Versions available: 1.0.0, which supports Drupal 11.2 or newer Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Documentation site Number of open issues: 11 open issues, none of which are bugs Usage stats: 3 sites Module features and usage With the Orchestration module installed, external systems can trigger Drupal workflows, call AI agents, and execute business logic through a unified API The modules functions as a bi-directional bridge, so Drupal events like content updates, user registrations, or form submissions can also trigger external processing Using the Orchestration module with the Activepieces automation platform in particular was featured at about the one hour mark in the most recent Driesnote, from DrupalCon Vienna, and we'll include a link to watch that in the show notes. The complex example Dries shows is pulling content from a Wordpress site, using AI to evaluate whether or not each post met certain criteria, and then conditionally calling one of a couple of ECA functions, in addition to using AI to rewrite the incoming content to change Wordpress terminology into Drupalisms Under the hood Orchestration provides an endpoint that will return a JSON list of services, including the properties that are needed for each service. The external service also needs to provide the username and password for a Drupal account, so you can control what services will be available based on permissions for the Drupal user that will be used Already Orchestration works with ECA, AI Agents, Tool API, and AI function calls There is also work underway for integrations using webhooks, for integration platforms that aren't ready to directly support Drupal's orchestration services In his presentation Dries mentioned that they are looking for feedback. Specifically, they would like feedback on what platforms should have integrations available

Do you like getting emails on a predictable schedule and not any time a user decides to fill out your form? If so, you might want to check out Webform Scheduled Tasks Module name/project names Webform Scheduled Tasks Brief history Created by mattgill on 22 November 2017 It has a 3.0-rc1 release available with Drupal 10 compatibility and is awaiting review of it's automated D11 fixes. Maintainership Its last release was in November 2023, but just a month ago I helped get Sean Dietrich approved as a new maintainer, so I'm hoping for a new release in the near future. It has security coverage. Tests exist to test the full functionality of the module and they are passing. There is no standalone documentation, although a README is RTBC'ed. That said, the module page has a straightforward description of what the module does and how to use it, and getting it up and running is very straightforward. Number of open issues: 24 open issues, only 1 of which is a bug against the current branch. I'll also note there are 8 issues that are RTBC, so we should be seeing some fixes forthcoming. Usage stats: 817 sites Module features and usage Once you enable the module, Webforms will have an additional “Scheduled tasks” configuration screen. You can create a task to email all results or just the results since the last export. Once you enable a scheduled task, you can set a number of options: its next scheduled run and the run interval (in hours, days, weeks, etc) where to email the results, in what format (JSON or CSV), whether to delete submissions after they're sent There's also a RTBC patch to allow you to configure file names to include date-time of export, which can help the recipients keep track of the exports. After that, you just sit and wait for cron to do its thing.

Pam Harris, Exploring the Power & Purpose of Number Strings ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 4 I've struggled when I have a new strategy I want my students to consider and despite my best efforts, it just doesn't surface organically. While I didn't want to just tell my students what to do, I wasn't sure how to move forward. Then I discovered number strings. Today, we're talking with Pam Harris about the ways number strings enable teachers to introduce new strategies while maintaining opportunities for students to discover important relationships. BIOGRAPHY Pam Harris, founder and CEO of Math is Figure-out-able™, is a mom, a former high school math teacher, a university lecturer, an author, and a mathematics teacher educator. Pam believes real math is thinking mathematically, not just mimicking what a teacher does. Pam helps leaders and teachers to make the shift that supports students to learn real math.

I'm really excited to talk with you today. Pam Harris: Thanks, Mike. I'm super glad to be on. Thanks for having me. Mike: Absolutely. So before we jump in, I want to offer a quick note to listeners. The routine we're going to talk about today goes by several different names in the field. Some folks, including Pam, refer to this routine as “problem strings,” and other folks, including some folks at The Math Learning Center, refer to them as “number strings.” For the sake of consistency, we'll use the term “strings” during our conversation today. And Pam, with that said, I'm wondering if for listeners, without prior knowledge, could you briefly describe strings? How are they designed? How are they intended to work? Pam: Yeah, if I could tell you just a little of my history. When I was a secondary math teacher and I dove into research, I got really curious: How can we do the mental actions that I was seeing my son and other people use that weren't the remote memorizing and mimicking I'd gotten used to? I ran into the work of Cathy Fosnot and Maarten Dolk, and [their book] Young Mathematicians at Work, and they had pulled from the Netherlands strings. They called them “strings.” And they were a series of problems that were in a certain order. The order mattered, the relationship between the problems mattered, and maybe the most important part that I saw was I saw students thinking about the problems and using what they learned and saw and heard from their classmates in one problem, starting to let that impact their work on the next problem. And then they would see that thinking made visible and the conversation between it and then it would impact how they thought about the next problem. And as I saw those students literally learn before my eyes, I was like, “This is unbelievable!” And honestly, at the very beginning, I didn't really even parse out what was different between maybe one of Fosnot's rich tasks versus her strings versus just a conversation with students. I was just so enthralled with the learning because what I was seeing were the kind of mental actions that I was intrigued with. I was seeing them not only happen live but grow live, develop, like they were getting stronger and more sophisticated because of the series of the order the problems were in, because of that sequence of problems. That was unbelievable. And I was so excited about that that I began to dive in and get more clear on: What is a string of problems? The reason I call them “problem strings” is I'm K–12. So I will have data strings and geometry strings and—pick one—trig strings, like strings with functions in algebra. But for the purposes of this podcast, there's strings of problems with numbers in them. Mike: So I have a question, but I think I just want to make an observation first. The way you described that moment where students are taking advantage of the things that they made sense of in one problem and then the next part of the string offers them the opportunity to use that and to see a set of relationships. I vividly remember the first time I watched someone facilitate a string and feeling that same way, of this routine really offers kids an opportunity to take what they've made sense of and immediately apply it. And I think that is something that I cannot say about all the routines that I've seen, but it was really so clear. I just really resonate with that experience of, what will this do for children? Pam: Yeah, and if I can offer an additional word in there, it influences their work. We're taking the major relationships, the major mathematical strategies, and we're high-dosing kids with them. So we give them a problem, maybe a problem or two, that has a major relationship involved. And then, like you said, we give them the next one, and now they can notice the pattern, what they learned in the first one or the first couple, and they can let it influence. They have the opportunity for it to nudge them to go, “Hmm. Well, I saw what just happened there. I wonder if it could be useful here. I'm going to tinker with that. I'm going to play with that relationship a little bit.” And then we do it again. So in a way, we're taking the relationships that I think, for whatever reason, some of us can wander through life and we could run into the mathematical patterns that are all around us in the low dose that they are all around us, but many of us don't pick up on that low dose and connect them and make relationships and then let it influence when we do another problem. We need a higher dose. I needed a higher dose of those major patterns. I think most kids do. Problem strings or number strings are so brilliant because of that sequence and the way that the problems are purposely one after the other. Give students the opportunity to, like you said, apply what they've been learning instantly [snaps]. And then not just then, but on the next problem and then sometimes in a particular structure we might then say, “Mm, based on what you've been seeing, what could you do on this last problem?” And we might make that last problem even a little bit further away from the pattern, a little bit more sophisticated, a little more difficult, a little less lockstep, a little bit more where they have to think outside the box but still could apply that important relationship. Mike: So I have two thoughts, Pam, as I listen to you talk. One is that for both of us, there's a really clear payoff for children that we've seen in the way that strings are designed and the way that teachers can use them to influence students' thinking and also help kids build a recognition or high-dose a set of relationships that are really important. The interesting thing is, I taught kindergarten through second grade for most of my teaching career, and you've run the gamut. You've done this in middle school and high school. So I think one of the things that might be helpful is to share a few examples of what a string could look like at a couple different grade levels. Are you OK to share a few? Pam: You bet. Can I tack on one quick thing before I do? Mike: Absolutely. Pam: You mentioned that the payoff is huge for children. I'm going to also suggest that one of the things that makes strings really unique and powerful in teaching is the payoff for adults. Because let's just be clear, most of us—now, not all, but most of us, I think—had a similar experience to me that we were in classrooms where the teacher said, “Do this thing.” That's the definition of math is for you to rote memorize these disconnected facts and mimic these procedures. And for whatever reason, many of us just believed that and we did it. Some people didn't. Some of us played with relationships and everything. Regardless, we all kind of had the same learning experience where we may have taken at different places, but we still saw the teacher say, “Do these things. Rote memorize. Mimic.” And so as we now say to ourselves, “Whoa, I've just seen how cool this can be for students, and we want to affect our practice.” We want to take what we do, do something—we now believe this could be really helpful, like you said, for children, but doing that's not trivial. But strings make it easier. Strings are, I think, a fantastic differentiated kind of task for teachers because a teacher who's very new to thinking and using relationships and teaching math a different way than they were taught can dive in and do a problem string. Learn right along with your students. A veteran teacher, an expert teacher who's really working on their teacher moves and really owns the landscape of learning and all the things still uses problem strings because they're so powerful. Like, anybody across the gamut can use strings—I just said problem strings, sorry—number strengths—[laughs] strings, all of us no matter where we are in our teaching journey can get a lot out of strings. Mike: So with all that said, let's jump in. Let's talk about some examples across the elementary span. Pam: Nice. So I'm going to take a young learner, not our youngest, but a young learner. I might ask a question like, “What is 8 plus 10?” And then if they're super young learners, I expect some students might know that 10 plus a single digit is a teen, but I might expect many of the students to actually say “8, 9, 10, 11, 12,” or “10, 11,” and they might count by ones given—maybe from the larger, maybe from the whatever. But anyway, we're going to kind of do that. I'm going to get that answer from them. I'm going to write on the board, “8 plus 10 is 18,” and then I would have done some number line work before this, but then I'm going to represent on the board: 8 plus 10, jump of 10, that's 18. And then the next problem's going to be something like 8 plus 9. And I'm going to say, “Go ahead and solve it any way you want, but I wonder—maybe you could use the first problem, maybe not.” I'm just going to lightly suggest that you consider what's on the board. Let them do whatever they do. I'm going to expect some students to still be counting. Some students are going to be like, “Oh, well I can think about 9 plus 8 counting by ones.” I think by 8—”maybe I can think about 8 plus 8. Maybe I can think about 9 plus 9.” Some students are going to be using relationships, some are counting. Kids are over the map. When I get an answer, they're all saying, like, 17. Then I'm going to say, “Did anybody use the first problem to help? You didn't have to, but did anybody?” Then I'm going to grab that kid. And if no one did, I'm going to say, “Could you?” and pause. Now, if no one sparks at that moment, then I'm not going to make a big deal of it. I'll just go, “Hmm, OK, alright,” and I'll do the next problem. And the next problem might be something like, “What's 5 plus 10?” Again, same thing, we're going to get 15. I'm going to draw it on the board. Oh, I should have mentioned: When we got to the 8 plus 9, right underneath that 8, jump, 10 land on 18, I'm going to draw an 8 jump 9, shorter jump. I'm going to have these lined up, land on the 17. Then I might just step back and go, “Hmm. Like 17, that's almost where the 18 was.” Now if kids have noticed, if somebody used that first problem, then I'm going to say, “Well, tell us about that.” “Well, miss, we added 10 and that was 18, but now we're adding 1 less, so it's got to be 1 less.” And we go, “Well, is 17 one less than 18? Huh, sure enough.” Then I give the next set of problems. That might be 5 plus 10 and then 5 plus 9, and then I might do 7 plus 10. Maybe I'll do 9 next. 9 plus 10 and then 9 plus 9. Then I might end that string. The next problem, the last problem might be, “What is 7 plus 9?” Now notice I didn't give the helper. So in this case I might go, “Hey, I've kind of gave you plus 10. A lot of you use that to do plus 9. I gave you plus 10. Some of you use that to do plus 9, I gave you plus 10. Some of you used that plus 9. For this one, I'm not giving you a helper. I wonder if you could come up with your own helper.” Now brilliantly, what we've done is say to students, “You've been using what I have up here, or not, but could you actually think, ‘What is the pattern that's happening?' and create your own helper?” Now that's meta. Right? Now we're thinking about our thinking. I'm encouraging that pattern recognition in a different way. I'm asking kids, “What would you create?” We're going to share that helper. I'm not even having them solve the problem. They're just creating that helper and then we can move from there. So that's an example of a young string that actually can grow up. So now I can be in a second grade class and I could ask a similar [question]: “Could you use something that's adding a bit too much to back up?” But I could do that with bigger numbers. So I could start with that 8 plus 10, 8 plus 9, but then the next pair might be 34 plus 10, 34 plus 9. But then the next pair might be 48 plus 20 and 48 plus 19. And the last problem of that string might be something like 26 plus 18. Mike: So in those cases, there's this mental scaffolding that you're creating. And I just want to mark this. I have a good friend who used to tell me that part of teaching mathematics is you can lead the horse to water, you can show them the water, they can look at it, but darn it, do not push their head in the water. And I think what he meant by that is “You can't force it,” right? But you're not doing that with a string. You're creating a set of opportunities for kids to notice. You're doing all kinds of implicit things to make structure available for kids to attend to—and yet you're still allowing them the ability to use the strategies that they have. We might really want them to notice that, and that's beautiful about a string, but you're not forcing. And I think it's worth saying that because I could imagine that's a place where folks might have questions, like, “If the kids don't do the thing that I'm hoping that they would do, what should I do?” Pam: Yeah, that's a great question. Let me give you another example. And in that example I'll talk about that. So especially as the kids get older, I'm going to use the same kind of relationship. It's maybe easier for people to hang on to if I stay with the same sort of relationship. So I might say, “Hey everybody. 7 times 8. That's a fact I'm noticing most of us just don't have [snaps] at our fingertips. Let's just work on that. What do you know?” I might get a couple of strategies for kids to think about 7 times 8. We all agree it's 56. Then I might say, “What's 70 times 8?” And then let kids think about that. Now, this would be the first time I do that, but if we've dealt with scaling times 10 at all, if I have 10 times the number of whatever the things is, then often kids will say, “Well, I've got 10 times 7 is 70, so then 10 times 56 is 560.” And then the next problem might be, “I wonder if you could think about 69 times 8. If we've got 70 eights, can I use that to help me think about 69 eights?” And I'm saying that in a very specific way to help ping on prior knowledge. So then I might do something similar. Well, let's pick another often missed facts, I don't know, 6 times 9. And then we could share some strategies on how kids are thinking about that. We all agree it's 54. And then I might say, “Well, could you think about 6 times 90?” I'm going to talk about scaling up again. So that would be 540. Now I'm going really fast. But then I might say, “Could we use that to help us think about 6 times 89?” I don't know if you noticed, but I sort of swapped. I'm not thinking about 90 sixes to 89 sixes. Now I'm thinking about 6 nineties to help me think about 6 eighty-nines. So that's a little bit of a—we have to decide how we're going to deal with that. I'll kind of mess around with that. And then I might have what we call that clunker problem at the end. “Notice that I've had a helper: 7 times 8, 70 times 8. A lot of you use that to help you think about 69 times 8. Then I had a helper: 6 times 9, 6 times 90. A lot of you use that to help you think about 6 times 89. What if I don't give you those helpers? What if I had something like”—now I'm making this up off the cuff here, like—“9 times 69. 9 times 69. Could you use relationships we just did?” Now notice, Mike, I might've had kids solving all those problems using an algorithm. They might've been punching their calculator, but now I'm asking the question, “Could you come up with these helper problems?” Notice how I'm now inviting you into a different space. It's not about getting an answer. I'm inviting you into, “What are the patterns that we've been establishing here?” And so what would be those two problems that would be like the patterns we've just been using? That's almost like saying when you're out in the world and you hit a problem, could you say to yourself, “Hmm, I don't know that one, but what do I know? What do I know that could help me get there?” And that's math-ing. Mike: So, you could have had a kid say, “Well, I'm not sure about how—I don't know the answer to that, but I could do 9 times 60, right?” Or “I could do 10 times”—I'm thinking—“10 times 69.” Correct? Pam: Yes, yes. In fact, when I gave that clunker problem, 9 times 69, I said to myself, “Oh, I shouldn't have said 9 because now you could go either direction.” You could either “over” either way. To find 9 I can do 10, or to find 69 I can do 70. And then I thought, “Ah, we'll go with it because you can go either way.” So I might want to focus it, but I might not. And this is a moment where a novice could just throw it out there and then almost be surprised. “Whoa, they could go either direction.” And an expert could plan, and be like, “Is this the moment where I want lots of different ways to go? Or do I want to focus, narrow it a little bit more, be a little bit more explicit?” It's not that I'm telling kids, but I'm having an explicit goal. So I'm maybe narrowing the field a little bit. And maybe the problem could have been 7 times 69, then I wouldn't have gotten that other “over,” not the 10 to get 9. Does that make sense? Mike: It absolutely does. What you really have me thinking about is NCTM's [National Council of Teachers of Mathematics'] definition of “fluency,” which is “accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility.” And the flexibility that I hear coming out of the kinds of things that kids might do with a string, it's exciting to imagine that that's one of the outcomes you could get from engaging with strings. Pam: Absolutely. Because if you're stuck teaching memorizing algorithms, there's no flexibility, like none, like zilch. But if you're doing strings like this, kids have a brilliant flexibility. And one of the conversations I'd want to have here, Mike, is if a kid came up with 10 times 69 to help with 9 times 69, and a different kid came up with 9 times 70 to help with 9 times 69, I would want to just have a brief conversation: “Which one of those do you like better, class, and why?” Not that one is better than the other, but just to have the comparison conversation. So the kids go, “Huh, I have access to both of those. Well, I wonder when I'm walking down the street, I have to answer that one: Which one do I want my brain to gravitate towards next time?” And that's mathematical behavior. That's mathematical disposition to do one of the strands of proficiency. We want that productive disposition where kids are thinking to themselves, “I own relationships. I just got to pick a good one here to—what's the best one I could find here?” And try that one, then try that one. “Ah, I'll go with this one today.” Mike: I love that. As we were talking, I wanted to ask you about the design of the string, and you started to use some language like “helper problems” and “the clunker.” And I think that's really the nod to the kinds of features that you would want to design into a string. Could you talk about either a teacher who's designing their own string—what are some of the features?—or a teacher who's looking at a string that they might find in a book that you've written or that they might find in, say, the Bridges curriculum? What are some of the different problems along the way that really kind of inform the structure? Pam: So you might find it interesting that over time, we've identified that there's at least five major structures to strings, and the one that I just did with you is kind of the easiest one to facilitate. It's the easiest one to understand where it's going, and it's the helper-clunker structure. So the helper-clunker structure is all about, “I'm going to give you a helper problem that we expect all kids can kind of hang on.” They have some facility with, enough that everybody has access to. Then we give you a clunker that you could use that helper to inform how you could solve that clunker problem. In the first string I did with you, I did a helper, clunker, helper, clunker, helper, clunker, clunker. And the second one we did, I did helper, helper, clunker, helper, helper, clunker, clunker. So you can mix and match kind of helpers and clunkers in that, but there are other major structures of strings. If you're new to strings, I would dive in and do a lot of helper-clunker strings first. But I would also suggest—I didn't create my own strings for a long time. I did prewritten [ones by] Cathy Fosnot from the Netherlands, from the Freudenthal Institute. I was doing their strings to get a feel for the mathematical relationships for the structure of a string. I would watch videos of teachers doing it so I could get an idea of, “Oh, that move right there made all the difference. I see how you just invited kids in, not demand what they do.” The idea of when to have paper and pencil and when not, and just lots of different things can come up that if you're having to write the string as well, create the string, that could feel insurmountable. So I would invite anybody out listening that's like, “Whoa, this seems kind of complicated,” feel free to facilitate someone else's prewritten strings. Now I like mine. I think mine are pretty good. I think Bridges has some pretty good ones. But I think you'd really gain a lot from facilitating prewritten strings. Can I make one quick differentiation that I'm running into more and more? So I have had some sharp people say to me, “Hey, sometimes you have extra problems in your string. Why do you have extra problems in your string?” And I'll say—well, at first I said, “What do you mean?” Because I didn't know what they were talking about. Are you telling me my string's bad? Why are you dogging my string? But what they meant was, they thought a string was the process a kid—or the steps, the relationships a kid used to solve the last problem. Does that make sense? Mike: It does. Pam: And they were like, “You did a lot of work to just get that one answer down there.” And I'm like, “No, no, no, no, no, no. A problem string or a number string, a string is an instructional routine. It is a lesson structure. It's a way of teaching. It's not a record of the relationships a kid used to solve a problem.” In fact, a teacher just asked—we run a challenge three times a year. It's free. I get on and just teach. One of the questions that was asked was, “How do we help our kids write their own strings?” And I was like, “Oh, no, kids don't write strings. Kids solve problems using relationships.” And so I think what the teachers were saying was, “Oh, I could use that relationship to help me get this one. Oh, and then I can use that to solve the problem.” As if, then, the lesson's structure, the instructional routine of a string was then what we want kids to do is use what they know to logic their way through using mathematical relationships and connections to get answers and to solve problems. That record is not a string, that record is a record of their work. Does that make sense, how there's a little difference there? Mike: It totally does, but I think that's a good distinction. And frankly, that's a misunderstanding that I had when I first started working with strings as well. It took me a while to realize that the point of a string is to unveil a set of relationships and then allow kids to take them up and use them. And really it's about making these relationships or these problem solving strategies sticky, right? You want them to stick. We could go back to what you said. We're trying to high-dose a set of relationships that are going to help kids with strategies, not only in this particular string, but across the mathematical work they're doing in their school life. Pam: Yes, very well said. So for example, we did an addition “over” relationship in the addition string that I talked through, and then we did a multiplication “over” set of relationships and multiplication. We can do the same thing with subtraction. We could have a subtraction string where the helper problem is to subtract a bit too much. So something like 42 minus 20, and then the next problem could be 42 minus 19. And we're using that: I'm going to subtract a bit too much and then how do you adjust? And hoo, after you've been thinking about addition “over,” subtraction “over” is quite tricky. You're like, “Wait, why are we adding what we're subtracting?” And it's not about teaching kids a series of steps. It's really helping them reason. “Well, if I give you—if you owe me 19 bucks and I give you a $20 bill, what are we going to do?” “Oh, you've got to give me 1 back.” Now that's a little harder today because kids don't mess around with money. So we might have to do something that feels like they can—or help them feel money. That's my personal preference. Let's do it with money and help them feel money. So one of the things I think is unique to my work is as I dove in and started facilitating other people's strings and really building my mathematical relationships and connections, I began to realize that many teachers I worked with, myself included, thought, “Whoa, there's just this uncountable, innumerable wide universe of all the relationships that are out there, and there's so many strategies, and anything goes, and they're all of equal value.” And I began to realize, “No, no, no, there's only a small set of major relationships that lead to a small set of major strategies.” And if we can get those down, kids can solve any problem that's reasonable to solve without a calculator, but in the process, building their brains to reason mathematically. And that's really our goal, is to build kids' brains to reason mathematically. And in the process we're getting answers. Answers aren't our goal. We'll get answers, sure. But our goal is to get them to build that small set of relationships because that small set of strategies now sets them free to logic their way through problems. And bam, we've got kids math-ing using the mental actions of math-ing. Mike: Absolutely. You made me think about the fact that there's a set of relationships that I can apply when I'm working with numbers Under 20. There's a set of relationships, that same set of relationships, I can apply and make use of when I'm working with multidigit numbers, when I'm working with decimals, when I'm working with fractions. It's really the relationships that we want to expose and then generalize and recognize this notion of going over or getting strategically to a friendly number and then going after that or getting to a friendly number and then going back from that. That's a really powerful strategy, regardless of whether you're talking about 8 and 3 or whether you're talking about adding unit fractions together. Strings allow us to help kids see how that idea translates across different types of numbers. Pam: And it's not trivial when you change a type of number or the number gets bigger. It's not trivial for kids to take this “over” strategy and to be thinking about something like 2,467 plus 1,995—and I know I just threw a bunch of numbers out, on purpose. It's not trivial for them to go, “What do I know about those numbers? Can I use some of these relationships I've been thinking about?” Well, 2,467, that's not really close to a friendly number. Well, 1,995 is. Bam. Let's just add 2,000. Oh, sweet. And then you just got to back up 5. It's not trivial for them to consider, “What do I know about these two numbers, and are they close to something that I could use?” That's the necessary work of building place value and magnitude and reasonableness. We've not known how to do that, so in some curriculum we create our whole extra unit that's all about place value reasonableness. Now we have kids that are learning to rote memorize, how to estimate by round. I mean there's all this crazy stuff that we add on when instead we could actually use strings to help kids build that stuff naturally kind of ingrained as we are learning something else. Can I just say one other thing that we did in my new book? Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms. So I actually wrote it with my son, who is maybe the biggest impetus to me diving into the research and figuring out all of this math-ing and what it means. He said, as we were writing, he said, “I think we could make the point that algorithms don't help you learn a new algorithm.” If you learn the addition algorithm and you get good at it and you can do all the addition and columns and all the whatever, and then when you learn the subtraction algorithm, it's a whole new thing. All of a sudden it's a new world, and you're doing different—it looks the same at the beginning. You line those numbers still up and you're still working on that same first column, but boy, you're doing all sorts—now you're crossing stuff out. You're not just little ones, and what? Algorithms don't necessarily help you learn the next algorithm. It's a whole new experience. Strategies are synergistic. If you learn a strategy, that helps you learn the next set of relationships, which then refines to become a new strategy. I think that's really helpful to know, that we can—strategies build on each other. There's synergy involved. Algorithms, you got to learn a new one every time. Mike: And it turns out that memorizing the dictionary of mathematics is fairly challenging. Pam: Indeed [laughs], indeed. I tried hard to memorize that. Yeah. Mike: You said something to me when we were preparing for this podcast that I really have not been able to get out of my mind, and I'm going to try to approximate what you said. You said that during the string, as the teacher and the students are engaging with it, you want students' mental energy primarily to go into reasoning. And I wonder if you could just explicitly say, for you at least, what does that mean and what might that look like on a practical level? Pam: So I wonder if you're referring to when teachers will say, “Do we have students write? Do we not have them write?” And I will suggest: “It depends. It's not if they write; it's what they write that's important.” What do I mean by that? What I mean is if we give kids paper and pencil, there is a chance that they're going to be like, “Oh, thou shalt get an answer. I'm going to write these down and mimic something that I learned last year.” And put their mental energy either into mimicking steps or writing stuff down. They might even try to copy what you've been representing strategies on the board. And their mental effort either goes into mimicking, or it might go into copying. What I want to do is free students up [so] that their mental energy is, how are you reasoning? What relationships are you using? What's occurring to you? What's front and center and sort of occurring? Because we're high-dosing you with patterns, we're expecting those to start happening, and I'm going to be saying things, giving that helper problem. “Oh, that's occurring to you? It's almost like it's your idea—even though I just gave you the helper problem!” It's letting those ideas bubble up and percolate naturally and then we can use those to our advantage. So that's what I mean when [I say] I want mental energy into “Hmm, what do I know, and how can I use what I know to logic my way through this problem?” And that's math-ing. Those are the mental actions of mathematicians, and that's where I want kids' mental energy. Mike: So I want to pull this string a little bit further. Pun 100% intended there. Apologies to listeners. What I find myself thinking about is there've got to be some do's and don'ts for how to facilitate a string that support the kind of reasoning and experience that you've been talking about. I wonder if you could talk about what you've learned about what you want to do as a facilitator when you're working with a string and maybe what you don't want to do. Pam: Yeah, absolutely. So a good thing to keep in mind is you want to keep a string snappy. You don't want a lot of dead space. You don't want to put—one of the things that we see novice, well, even sometimes not-novice, teachers do, that's not very helpful, is they will put the same weight on all the problems. So I'll just use the example 8 plus 10, 8 plus 9, they'll—well, let me do a higher one. 7 times 8, 70 times 8. They'll say, “OK, you guys, 7 times 8. Let's really work on that. That's super hard.” And kids are like, “It's 56.” Maybe they have to do a little bit of reasoning to get it, because it is an often missed fact, but I don't want to land on it, especially—what was the one we did before? 34 plus 10. I don't want to be like, “OK, guys, phew.” If the last problem on my string is 26 plus 18, I don't want to spend a ton of time. “All right, everybody really put all your mental energy in 36 plus 10” or whatever I said. Or, let's do the 7 times 8 one again. So, “OK, everybody, 7 times 8, how are you guys thinking about that?” Often we're missing it. I might put some time into sharing some strategies that kids use to come up with 7 times 8 because we know it's often missed. But then when I do 70 times 8, if I'm doing this string, kids should have some facility with times 10. I'm not going to be like, “OK. Alright, you guys, let's see what your strategies are. Right? Everybody ready? You better write something down on your paper. Take your time, tell your neighbor how….” Like, it's times 10. So you don't want to put the same weight—as in emphasis and time, wait time—either one on the problems that are kind of the gimmes, we're pretty sure everybody's got this one. Let's move on and apply it now in the next one. So there's one thing. Keep it snappy. If no one has a sense of what the patterns are, it's probably not the right problem string. Just bail on it, bail on it. You're like, “Let me rethink that. Let me kind of see what's going on.” If, on the other hand, everybody's just like, “Well, duh, it's this” and “duh, it's that,” then it's also probably not the right string. You probably want to up the ante somehow. So one of the things that we did in our problem string books is we would give you a lesson and give you what we call the main string, and we would write up that and some sample dialogs and what the board could look like when you're done and lots of help. But then we would give you two echo strings. Here are two strings that get at the same relationships with about the same kind of numbers, but they're different and it will give you two extra experiences to kind of hang there if you're like, “Mm, I think my kids need some more with exactly this.” But we also then gave you two next-step strings that sort of up the ante. These are just little steps that are just a little bit more to crunch on before you go to the next lesson that's a bit of a step up, that's now going to help everybody increase. Maybe the numbers got a little bit harder. Maybe we're shifting strategy. Maybe we're going to use a different model. I might do the first set of strings on an area model if I'm doing multiplication. I might do the next set of strings in a ratio table. And I want kids to get used to both of those. When we switch up from the 8 string to the next string, kind of think about only switching one thing. Don't up the numbers, change the model, and change the strategy at the same time. Keep two of those constant. Stay with the same model, maybe up the numbers, stay with the same strategy. Maybe if you're going to change strategies, you might back up the numbers a little bit, stick with the model for a minute before you switch the model before you go up the numbers. So those are three things to consider. Kind of—only change up one of them at a time or kids are going to be like, “Wait, what?” Kids will get higher dosed with the pattern you want them to see better if you only switch one thing at a time. Mike: Part of what you had me thinking was it's helpful, whether you're constructing your own string or whether you're looking at a string that's in a textbook or a set of materials, it's still helpful to think about, “What are the variables at play here?” I really appreciated the notion that they're not all created equal. There are times where you want to pause and linger a little bit that you don't need to spend that exact same amount of time on every clunker and every helper. There's a critical problem that you really want to invest some time in at one point in the string. And I appreciated the way you described, you're playing with the size of the number or the complexity of the number, the shift in the model, and then being able to look at those kinds of things and say, “What all is changing?” Because like you said, we're trying to kind of walk this line of creating a space of discovery where we haven't suddenly turned the volume up to 11 and made it really go from like, “Oh, we discovered this thing, now we're at full complexity,” and yet we don't want to have it turned down to, “It's not even discovery because it's so obvious that I knew it immediately. There's not really anything even to talk about.” Pam: Nice. Yeah, and I would say we want to be right on the edge of kids' own proximal development, right on the edge. Right on the edge where they have to grapple with what's happening. And I love the word “grapple.” I've been in martial arts for quite a while, and grappling makes you stronger. I think sometimes people hear the word “struggle” and they're like, “Why would you ever want kids to struggle?” I don't know that I've met anybody that ever hears the word “grapple” as a negative thing. When you “grapple,” you get stronger. You learn. So I want kids right on that edge where they are grappling and succeeding. They're getting stronger. They're not just like, “Let me just have you guess what's in my head.” You're off in the field and, “Sure hope you figure out math, guys, today.” It's not that kind of discovery that people think it is. It really is: “Let me put you in a place where you can use what you know to notice maybe a new pattern and use it maybe in a new way. And poof! Now you own those relationships, and let's build on that.” And it continues to go from there. When you just said—the equal weight thing, let me just, if I can—there's another, so I mentioned that there's at least five structures of problem strings. Let me just mention one other one that we like, to give you an example of how the weight could change in a string. So if I have an equivalent structure, an equivalent structure looks like: I give a problem, and an example of that might be 15 times 18. Now I'm not going to give a helper; I'm just going to give 15 times 18. If I'm going to do this string, we would have developed a few strategies before now. Kids would have some partial products going on. I would probably hope they would have an “over,” I would've done partial products over and probably, what I call “5 is half a 10.” So for 15 times 18, they could use any one of those. They could break those up. They could think about twenty 15s to get rid of the extra two to have 18, 15. So in that case, I'm going to go find a partial product, an “over” and a “5 is half a 10,” and I'm going to model those. And I'm going to go, “Alright, everybody clear? Everybody clear on this answer?” Then the next problem I give—so notice that we just spent some time on that, unlike those helper clunker strings where the first problem was like a gimme, nobody needed to spend time on that. That was going to help us with the next one. In this case, this one's a bit of a clunker. We're starting with one that kids are having to dive in, chew on. Then I give the next problem: 30 times 9. So I had 15 times 18 now 30 times 9. Now kids get a chance to go, “Oh, that's not too bad. That's just 3 times 9 times 10. So that's 270. Wait, that was the answer to the first problem. That was probably just coincidence. Or was it?” And now especially if I have represented that 15 times 18, one of those strategies with an area model with an open array, now when I draw the 30 by 9, I will purposely say, “OK, we have the 15 by 18 up here. That's what that looked like. Mm, I'll just use that to kind of make sure the 30 by 9 looks like it should. How could I use the 15 by 18? Oh, I could double the 15? OK, well here's the 15. I'm going to double that. Alright, there's the 30. Well, how about the 9? Oh, I could half? You think I should half? OK. Well I guess half of 18. That's 9.” So I've just helped them. I've brought out, because I'm inviting them to help me draw it on the board. They're thinking about, “Oh, I just half that side, double that side. Did we lose any area? Oh, maybe that's why the products are the same. The areas of those two rectangles are the same. Ha!” And then I give the next problem. Now I give another kind of clunker problem and then I give its equivalent. And again, we just sort of notice: “Did it happen again?” And then I might give another one and then I might end the string with something like 3.5 times—I'm thinking off the cuff here, 16. So 3.5 times 16. Kids might say, “Well, I could double 3.5 to get 7 and I could half the 16 to get 8, and now I'm landing on 7 times 8.” And that's another way to think about 3.5 times 16. Anyway, so, equivalent structure is also a brilliant structure that we use primarily when we're trying to teach kids what I call the most sophisticated of all of the strategies. So like in addition, give and take, I think, is the most sophisticated addition. In subtraction, constant difference. In multiplication, there's a few of them. There's doubling and having, I call it flexible factoring to develop those strategies. We often use the equivalent structure, like what's happening here? So there's just a little bit more about structure. Mike: There's a bit of a persona that I've noticed that you take on when you're facilitating a string. I'm wondering if you can talk about that or if you could maybe explain a little bit because I've heard it a couple different times, and it makes me want to lean in as a person who's listening to you. And I suspect that's part of its intent when it comes to facilitating a string. Can you talk about this? Pam: So I wonder if what you're referring to, sometimes people will say, “You're just pretending you don't know what we're talking about.” And I will say, “No, no, I'm actually intensely interested in what you're thinking. I know the answer, but I'm intensely interested in what you're thinking.” So I'm trying to say things like, “I wonder.” “I wonder if there's something up here you could use to help. I don't know. Maybe not. Mm. What kind of clunker could—or helper could you write for this clunker?” So I don't know if that's what you're referring to, but I'm trying to exude curiosity and belief that what you are thinking about is worth hearing about. And I'm intensely interested in how you're thinking about the problem and there's something worth talking about here. Is that kind of what you're referring to? Mike: Absolutely. OK. We're at the point in the podcast that always happens, which is: I would love to continue talking with you, and I suspect there are people who are listening who would love for us to keep talking. We're at the end of our time. What resources would you recommend people think about if they really want to take a deeper dive into understanding strings, how they're constructed, what it looks like to facilitate them. Perhaps they're a coach and they're thinking about, “How might I apply this set of ideas to educators who are working with kindergartners and first graders, and yet I also coach teachers who are working in middle school and high school.” What kind of resources or guidance would you offer to folks? Pam: So the easiest way to dive in immediately would be my brand-new book from Corwin. It's called Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms. There's a section in there all about strings. We also do a walk-through where you get to feel a problem string in a K–2 class and a 3–5 [class]. And well, what we really did was counting strategies, additive reasoning, multiplicative reasoning, proportional reasoning, and functional reasoning. So there's a chapter in there where you go through a functional reasoning problem string. So you get to feel: What is it like to have a string with real kids? What's on the board? What are kids saying? And then we link to videos of those. So from the book, you can go and see those, live, with real kids, expert teachers, like facilitating good strings. If anybody's middle school, middle school coaches: I've got building powerful numeracy and lessons and activities for building powerful numeracy. Half of the books are all problem strings, so lots of good resources. If you'd like to see them live, you could go to mathisfigureoutable.com/ps, and we have videos there that you can watch of problem strings happening. If I could mention just one more, when we did the K–12, Developing Mathematical Reasoning, Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms, that we will now have grade band companion books coming out in the fall of '25. The K–2 book will come out in the spring of '26. The [grades] 3–5 book will come out in the fall of '26. The 6–8 book will come out and then six months after that, the 9–12 companion book will come out. And those are what to do to build reasoning, lots of problem strings and other tasks, rich tasks and other instructional routines to really dive in and help your students reason like math-y people reason because we are all math-y people. Mike: I think that's a great place to stop. Pam, thank you so much for joining us. It's been a pleasure talking with you. Pam: Mike, it was a pleasure to be on. Thanks so much.
