I've been involved with this since phase two and then part of the revision team and I taught it as the lead faculty at Olympic and then I've been a part of this training team as well. And I've been so excited to be able to go around the country and share with people this new approach really to teaching for a lot of us. I mean it was a huge shift for me personally at the beginning and it was because of my students successes and their feedback to me that just kept motivating me to to be involved and to keep going and the other thing I did not mention earlier and I think Ursula had kind of touched on this it really informed how I teach in the rest of our program. So what happened was after this because of the great strides that I saw our students make when then I was shifted to teaching on some higher level classes I said we need we need to go hybrid we need to go flipped we need to get technology there front and center for our students and it's been very successful and the students who were coming out of idea were very sad at the prospect of not having something like that to continue on with having that work at home to do so this has not only been a wonderful experience within idea but has also really led our program on to expanding and growing as well so I'm excited to share with you our experience and and this curriculum. Am I just introducing myself? I'm Adriah, Adriah Katka from North Seattle College and I think you've heard that I've been involved with this project from the beginning but it's been really exciting to just see it go through many phases of growth and change and it's really wonderful to be able to be I think after having taken this work and taken this training to various parts of our country over the last nine months or so it's really fun to be able to be back here in Washington in our home state but also with many instructors that we've worked with through the development phases of this project and seeing ways in which it's changed even here at home and the ways it's being used and certainly to connect with many new colleagues so thank you so much for the time that you're investing to be here with us and to dig in and unpack all the parts of this curriculum. We're going to get into just a warm-up activity right away and then we will let you know more as we go so thanks so much. Great so the other thing I'd just like to add is over these next two days there's sort of four puzzle pieces that we want to put together for you really coming from the instructional side and that's what what is there in Canvas and as a part of the pre-work that's the first puzzle piece and that's what we'll be focusing on in this session and then moving into another area which is the instructional guide and what support materials are provided for instruction and then tomorrow the other two pieces will be focusing on how those first two integrate so how are we planning for a lesson how are we figuring out what we need to do during the lesson so I feel like tomorrow you're gonna have a very clear sense these puzzle pieces will come together and I have a feeling you'll all feel very confident at the end of the day tomorrow to start going in and getting the modules you're looking for but to get us started if you printed your program on page 11 you have a find someone who activity and if you did not we'll pull it up here on the screen with some questions and if you could take a few minutes to just circulate and find someone who I also recommend if one of these questions is really foreign to you and you find someone who has done it take down an email you might want to touch base with them later okay and they'll just be a five-minute quick quick activity please thank you thank you so much well hopefully you had a chance to find some people who but one thing we really want to be sure that we're doing over the next few days is giving you an experience similar to what an idea student would have which is one way we've intentionally sort of design this training which these questions give you a little bit of a preview because all of the questions that are on there are things you will need to be able to do during why while teaching idea don't be too scared about they have you ever built a website you're not creating a whole new business website but there is one module where that kind of touches on that yeah so in this particular session again we're going to be focusing on the canvas part of it which is the pre-work which is really the foundation of the course so one thing I'd like to say is in this program we really don't use the word homework we really want to very immediately shift over to that idea of pre-work this is something that needs to be done before they come to class so we want to make sure that after this particular session you feel that you have a strong foundational understanding of the online components and that you feel familiar with the layout and navigation you can locate the instructor resources that you can use the instructional guide and some of the key features within the instructional guide to find what you need and experience what it's like to be an idea student one thing I do want to mention is that in canvas you have been put in as a student for this experience because we're all in the same class if somebody changes something it changes it for everybody but it also allows you to see that interface that the students have as well so there are things that we will be doing up here or talking about that you won't see on your screen until tomorrow and later in the day you'll be given a chance to go in as a teacher and be able to utilize all these features but for right now some of this is just going to be demonstration through some of this morning so the first thing we want to talk about is the scope and sequence which you saw just a little bit this morning when Will showed you the three columns of all the topics so we want to go ahead and open the full scope and sequence which is in the back of your program if you printed it and oh this right there you've got the page right there yes I was yeah thank you okay thank you page 45 and if you didn't print it you have access to this later and you can just look up here on the screen but you'll see that this Excel booklet has four tabs down at the bottom one for each quarter so for those of you who teach out of Washington and we teach on the quarter system so these are designed for 10 week 10 week quarters and so you just click on the tab to find it and they're all broken down the same way on on the far left you will see the module title so this is the theme or topic of that particular module then we have tech tech objectives writing grammar and math I promise you speaking and listening is heavily included in the face-to-face it's not necessarily called out here sometimes people will ask about that but it absolutely is very much included in in the program itself so you can just go across and see for each what's included and it's not very clear for me up close here but can you see the the shaded banding okay there is a real intentionality to those bandings these particular modules within the same band are very heavily scaffolded one from the next so although this is OER and you can go in and you can take things apart and you can rework them we strongly suggest keeping those modules together certainly until you would have a sense of what you would need to backfill if you were to take one out so again you do have a copy of the full scope in sequence but because this session is just focusing on fall quarter we're gonna look specifically at two of the modules these are banded together so the two that will be looking at our study skills and American education system and again these are in the fall the fall quarter so we'd like you to take just a few minutes together with a few people at your table if you could have a short discussion we will come back to the slide in just a moment if you don't have it printed out but we'd like you to have just a short discussion about where do you see the connection between these two modules as well as what do you think is significant about these themes why would we have chosen to include these themes and how do they seem to be connected as modules so we'll just give you a few minutes to discuss that and then we'll come back together okay okay if we can just come back together and we'd love to hear some of your ideas where are some of the connections that you see between these two modules would anybody like to share yeah great so she's saying the tech objectives noticing we're first creating a Google doc and then extending out from there to more skills within that absolutely anything else something with the writing perhaps right so here she's saying it's about writing so here we have you know we're using graphic organizers right now we're just really organizing our ideas either based on reading or writing and then in the next you're moving towards constructing sentences so really here you're not exactly teaching the writing process but you're teaching parts of it right we're doing pre-writing we're doing organizing it's just kind of embedded in there it's not so explicit but it's definitely woven in so absolutely those are two great observations for seeing that and the second question was about the topics why why are these two particular topics or themes ones that we would include or important for students yeah very well said absolutely some great reasons anybody would like to add to that or great somebody in one of our opening sessions asked about students who come in without necessarily full educational backgrounds you know depending on what their opportunities were before they came to us there's also this sense of that study skill piece may really be the first time they're actually learning strategies and and learning what it is to be a student and those expectations so thank you so much that was very well put okay great well thank you so let's take just a couple minutes here to review some of what you've already heard quite a bit about from will this morning in terms of some of the benefits of idea one real key is really just that it is a highly contextualized curriculum and I want to clarify the use of that term because I know that as we've been in some different parts of the country in different states we have learned found that sometimes the word contextualized it has a highly coded very specific meaning that it is we're talking about something is contextualized to a specific job task or a specific employment field and that's not the way that we're using the word in our context uh context context context but in this context when we say context when we say contextualized we just mean that it's theme focused as opposed to being sort of like a grammar organized curriculum or some other type of approach it's really based on particular themes and that you know it's really got you know math embedded in it these things like this but the way that the curriculum is developed and delivered as not only a flipped curriculum where it's you do that lecture part at home and then we do practice in class it's not only that but it really is blended that these two parts are not meant to be delivered or experienced in a kind of siloed fashion that they're really it really is very important that they're not freestanding curricula but it really is one integrated model and so when Shannon said that this uh not this morning but in session one here we're going to look a lot at what's available to students online and your tools online and then we're going to look at what happens in the classroom in the face-to-face environment in our second session but tomorrow when we look a lot more at how those are blended together we can really see the hybrid fashion of it not just that it's a dual platform but it really is brought together and it's important um in making the most of the power of these tools there's a lot going on here in terms of fostering student independence student empowerment we talked a little bit this morning about how this is a pretty personalized kind of curriculum um and kind of uh just gets gets at what students need but gives it to them in a package that will hopefully be right for them i don't mean to suggest that it's a silver bullet or that it's the magic pill but just that there is something in there for just about every type of student and that each student will have a different experience depending on what they bring to it but also that it's controlled the the speed the pacing um sort of the depth a lot of these things are really controlled by the student at their individual level and so it means that they can experience things more than once they can get different kinds of feedback they can go down different paths depending on what really pops for them and so all of this is these are some really critical pieces of course also you know and we'll continue to remind you in case you don't believe it the first time or the second time that it really is all open source material either things that have been created by the creators of the project um and that we're saying yes use it or they're let's say images or things that we may have found online but we've made a very very concerted effort to make sure that everything that we either create or that we've taken for use is all available as an open educational resource so it's all available to you there's no charge to use any of it we encourage you to use it adapt it for your own uses for your own settings and to make of it what you will this one says stand up we don't have to stand quite yet but i'll give you a couple of instructions we had a very good question this morning in the panel discussion i think about have you ever had a student who didn't do their pre-work and and i laughed because as jody sort of looked down the line to the five of us who were sitting at the table she was saying anyone and we were looking at her and saying everyone all right so um of course we have students who for whatever reason don't necessarily accomplish their pre-work that's not exactly what this question is about but you'll see where we're headed here the idea here what we want to talk about is you know for some of us coming into the idea of teaching in a hybrid or a blended model is a new thing um doing something with online instruction is entirely new or maybe it's we've done a bit of dabbling or maybe we've experienced that as a student but not as an instructor um but all of us have instructed in a setting where students doing some practice outside of class is desirable i i think i can say that with some certainty right and so what that outside of class work looks like in this model is different to be sure because most of it is something that's being set up ahead of time as opposed to after the fact practice but if we can think about um what it is that might help how we might kind of frame this or help students to understand the the concept of doing outside of class work and the concept of doing that as pre-work and that might be a paradigm shift understanding for us and for them if we can think about that the understanding the importance and then also how we can encourage students to complete it um whether that is how we incentivize it or or what have you but just just talking and thinking about how we can help students to get there and get that done so let's take a few minutes just in your table groups um these table group sizes will work just fine we have some smaller ones and some bigger ones but it looks like this will all be functional i don't think anyone has to move for purposes of this activity we'll bring you one gigantic sticky note we all love these don't we and we'll bring you one marker i think we may only have four markers but i'll find one more um we'll just ask you to have a short conversation with your table mates in answering these two questions and then we'll do a little bit of sharing afterward but we'll do it in maybe a different way from what you're expecting okay thank you hi everyone thank you thanks for sharing your ideas it's fun to see the ideas that are coming up and we would like to do a little bit of a share out which doesn't surprise you but as Shannon mentioned um and in our list of objectives for the session we wanted to have you experience what it's like to be an idea student and we don't just mean what it feels like to be confused by looking at a bunch of things in canvas um we do want to try to layer in some of the types of activities that we do in a face-to-face class with idea students into this setting and so one of those is what we call a gallery walk some of you will have done that before for some of you it may be new there's not any actual art except the art of your ideas and your brilliance um but the general idea with a gallery walk is that whatever tasks students have been assigned to create produce whatever the product is that those would just be on display for students to wander and peruse and see the results and so rather than asking for someone to speak in a share out we'll just ask you to lay out your work actually I think this time they're sticky so we can just post them to the wall and as long as they stay standing sticking um you can just walk and take a look at some of the ideas um and we'll share our ideas with each other in that way thanks everyone if we can come back to our seats just to wrap up this activity together these are all really wonderful and it's it's so much fun to see the different the different directions I guess of five different tables sitting all very close together yet your conversations took some very different directions and I like that I see one over here that's about dividing a class you saw it dividing the class into two groups we have a control group we have a test group you do the pre-work you don't and then see how we do so that's a that's a thought um certainly we can incentivize with things like treats treats can be an incentive the sense of satisfaction that you get from being able to participate is another kind of incentive um Shannon and I have developed a spidey sense about there's always going to be at least one cooking reference and so I said to her Shannon I haven't been able to circulate and see all the ideas yet is there a cooking reference she said there it is the recipe and we do we get that's right we're filling the belly we're also we can preheat the oven we can lay out our ingredients but there's there's always a cooking metaphor here right but it works it really works anyway thank you for sharing those ideas we're going to be getting back into can or we're going to get into canvas now and there's one more very quick thing that I'd like to show you um before Shannon starts to really give you a tour um I'm going to click over to canvas so that we can all see the same thing together I mentioned to you earlier before we really started the session this idea of clicking to close or collapse each of the modules so that this page is much more navigable there are two more things that I want to say just as a very quick orientation to the layout of this page that may be helpful to you one is that when you switch to a new um anytime you click on something in canvas it's automatically going to pop up this left menu navigation bar and if you need a little more real estate on the rest of your screen if you click on the stripes at the very top it will collapse that bar so you can just get more width for the for the main part of what you want to see so again you can click to open or close that um and then the other thing that I'd like you to see is just a very quick um way to understand the way that this is laid out our course today because what you have here is a combination of workshop modules and student modules that are layered in together they're layered in with a logical chronology but if you don't know that it just looks like chaos so very quickly I'll point out that these first two modules the one with the agenda and the one that's for the director's session that's going on across in the ballroom over there those are of course conference modules what we're doing right now is in focus session one and I know that many of you have found that if you open that module you'll see two copies of the presentation that we're using a powerpoint version and a google slide version and then you'll see two handouts that we're using in this okay then below that you're going to see two student modules these are the two that we'll be looking at together from the fall quarter after that you'll see the focus session two that's a workshop module and then two student modules personal inventory and career exploration so I'm not going to go all the way down but just to give you a sense that's the kind of chronology that we'll work through so there you go you want me to stay there great thank you so much so is everybody ready to get your hands in there we've been talking a lot on that sort of overview level and now we're going to get down into the nitty gritty so hopefully everybody is in canvas has canvas open if anybody is having a problem please raise your hand and adria can come over and and help you get set up there so uh idea is really composed of two buckets is the way I think of it in my head one bucket is in canvas and this is where all of the pre-work is this is what the students need to do at home and all of the electronic pieces are housed from there or linked to from there the other bucket is in a google drive a google drive that has been given to you so this is not something that is inside of your own google if you have if you happen to have gmail this is one that you will link directly to and just as a reminder as we walk through these next couple of slides it's going to be more of a demonstration because you are in there as a student so uh you can you can be looking at your screen and up here or you can just look up here for now and in a few minutes you're going to get some hands-on time to to be in there poking around so um again these two buckets canvas and the google drive so we want to look at both of those locations so you feel comfortable with navigating between them and knowing where to look for what information so we'll start with canvas and there's two reasons that different groups of people are going to go there the instructor needs it because you are going to link to your instructor resources from canvas so it will link you out to the google drive but you'll find that link there of course all of the content modules are there so you're getting all of the work for the students in there tech skills pre and post assessment we'll actually be talking about this tomorrow in one of the sessions but those are sort of standalone pieces outside of any particular module and we'll look at those this is where you're going to go and give your feedback and your grades to the students where you'll be accessing their assignments that they've submitted and you will have a chance to see the student view again you're seeing the student view today but as we're going to learn in just a moment you have the ability to publish and unpublish items and because it's OER you're going to be able to move things around and take things out and add things in you want to make sure that that is done properly so after you've kind of done your work you can go into student view and see the interface that they will have and just ensure that you don't accidentally have something viewable to them or in the wrong place so that those would be the reasons for the instructor to go there and the students of course they're going in there to access their pre-work during some of the pre-work there are links within their pages to handouts that they might need it might be a transcript it might be a handout that they could print from home but those links will be directly embedded in the pages for the student that's where they will see obviously your feedback and their grades and then as we talked about this morning one of the greatest features of having it there is their ability to continue going back to review the material retake quizzes as many times as they'd like so the two reasons that everybody's going into canvas and I'd say that's the you know the the bulk of it canvas is the bigger bucket as far as the students are concerned because the students will not be going to the google drive okay so when I talked about publishing and unpublishing I'll show you in a moment you don't want to give students access to it it's your lesson plans you know so I mean I guess you could but they would have access to everything so that is something that would be unpublished so in a moment I'll show you but this is where the face there are four folders the face-to-face components and these are all of the handouts that you need for each module so for each module you have one folder with all the handouts online components this is not a folder I think that instructors use very often but there are things about copywriting in there and some other pieces just if you needed access to that you have it we're excited in raw materials and then the instructional guide who can tell me what's the instructional guide yeah thank you I knew we had some experience in the room we use this word instructional guide and I will try to remember to say that in full but just internally we've all been calling it the IG so if you hear me refer to the IG today please know it's the instructional guide which is actually your lesson plan and we'll be taking a look at that as well okay so I'm going to so we're going to take a few minutes just to look through canvas and the layout one of the very first things that Adria already touched on today is the importance of expanding and collapsing the oh boy this doesn't want to doesn't want to stay there for me there we go expanding and collapsing the actual modules as you will see it gets very lengthy and for students to be navigating down that page by even week three it can be a little overwhelming so I know one thing I do is after I talk about it but then at the end of every week I remind them in class you know go ahead and close that up we're done with that one you can always go back but just a reminder to them to also help for their navigation so I'm going to go ahead and open study skills and like I say you're welcome to just follow along on the screen or if you want to be you know moving through on your computer as well but I'm just going to be demonstrating some things here and then you'll have time to go in so each module so when you open when you open a quarter's worth of work for example you'll have 10 modules meaning you'll have 10 sort of units there with these carrots next to it each of them have the title of that unit at the top so this is study skills and within study skills there are five subtopics the way that this curriculum was designed is that each subtopic correlates to a day of the week so assuming you have a five-day week then on Monday I would be doing the subtopic of successful students now I'll just say a lot of schools didn't have a five-day week I didn't either so later we can kind of talk a little bit more about how you might adjust kind of where you draw your lines and it's absolutely easy to do it just takes a little a little bit of pre-planning extra pre-planning in the beginning but just to let you know this one on day one becoming in Monday for successful students Tuesday would be reading strategies Wednesday would be note taking and time management and then test taking strategies Thursday and more graphic organizers on Friday each subtopic has no more than five activities that was just kind of like a template each module has five subtopics and each subtopic had no more than five activities however on occasion you will see for example up here that there were six on this day but the very last one here says do in class so that is something that this idea of publishing and unpublishing becomes really important at the beginning of a quarter I would just open all of my modules and scan down to see the in class items I'm not going to do it right now because it will for the other group it will make it disappear but if I was to click on this little button here and take away the green check mark it would unpublish it so as the instructor I could still see it but it would disappear from your view and you don't want students to do that at home for a variety of reasons it may be that you haven't pre-taught what they need for that or it might involve some group work so the in-class activities you just want to be thoughtful of unpublishing those before they go I think yeah okay oh thank you okay so you'll notice that there's kind of a naming convention to the types of activities that students do I'm gonna come around to you that's very bright you heard several times this morning about learn activities up there this one says learn successful students anytime you see something titled a learn it is the new vocabulary words and there are typically three learns in every module okay so over different days but within the module and then every learn as will mention this morning is followed by a discuss and they are given a sentence stem to really talk about their own life experiences related to that topic and it really does guide them and direct them to try and use the vocabulary they just learned so they're really trying to make a correlation between those two activities and then we have read listen watch so they'll be able to read it but also listen to somebody speaking it which is fabulous especially you know for your lower level students who again are just getting those sounds and I know that got brought up this morning so that's a really nice support for some of the lower level students they'll have to do something here they're gonna watch here and they're gonna submit something here and maybe you've noticed these little icons next to it each of those icons for those of you who are not in canvas it basically relates to the kind of activity that will be in that page so if you see something that's just like a piece of paper with kind of the little folded down corner corner this is information something's just being delivered to them a little bit I guess like your lecture in class I'm giving you the information here when you see the little rocket ship it is a quiz that's a little bit of a misnomer on the learns but just because of the system it was how we had to build them within a within a quiz setting but it's really the first time they're learning it for a learn but usually this is a quiz so they've learned something they've studied it and now we're going to test them on it and of course the little kind of chat bubbles there for the discussion and then there aren't a ton of these in here but the piece of paper with the pencil on it this is an assignment so they're going to have to produce some kind of work and submit that and the process to do that is a little different and I one of the reasons it's done in in class up front to show students how to do that so yes you'll start to get a sense when I scan through here I can look really quickly and say how many quizzes are there this week how much reading do they have are they watching a video so the names and the icons really help me just quickly visually to understand what they're going to be doing in there and so we're going to go back up to the top did anybody notice this little blue link here okay we have this published for these trainings with you but typically for a student that would be what you would want that to be unpublished because that is your direct link into the google drive where all of your lesson plans and class handouts are housed so just to show you briefly we're going to open that up and often you have to click again to go into it and on that earlier slide I talked about these four folders that you would have in the google drive so you can see here the face to face components if I was to open that I'd find all my handouts online components excuse me the online components you'll get to look at this in a moment this actually has the vocabulary from the quizlet decks that they look at so when I said I didn't go into that one earlier I excuse me it's the cited work I don't go into often but the online handout pieces I do it's a wonderful thank you it's a wonderful handout to give the students of the quizlet deck in another way that they could study it so nope where am I where did the actual there we go the work cited in raw materials that's there as a reference for you but you really won't need to go there really the most important document here is the little blue icon that is the document that is your instructional guide and you'll get to explore that in just a moment but I'll open it very briefly always has the title of the module at the top this is the full weeks title not the subtopic but for that full week and it contains all of the information that you would need to complete your lessons for every day of the week as you start looking through here later you'll see at the top there's a lot of different ways that sort of summaries and synopsis of what they're doing is presented and then as you move further down the document you get into these step-by-step details of the actual implementation of the lessons so on page six is really where my first face-to-face detailed explanation starts so does that make does everybody sort of feel okay there's these two buckets all the pre-work is over here and all of my instructional materials are over here in the google drive does that feel okay yeah Judith thank you and we're gonna look thank you so much and I'll give a little heads up we're gonna talk more about that later but Judith is just reminding us no that's great that I think it's up here a little further yeah um there we go just kind of at the bottom of page one and bleeding over on to page two when we talked about these these are aligned to the college career readiness anchors so here is where you just get a quick snapshot of the anchors that relate to that particular module thank you so much that's great so now you guys are probably pretty ready those fingers are probably itching to get in there and really start looking around and seeing the lay of the land so we have an activity for you a scavenger hunt again a kind of activity the students would do actually within the curriculum it is on page 12 if you were able to print out the program and if not in just a moment we will also have it up here on the screen and we're going to go ahead and give you I think probably about 10 to 15 minutes there are 12 questions we'd like you to please look at the study skills module you're going to be both in the canvas part of it and the google drive with within that bucket and we'd like you please to answer these questions so 10 10 15 minutes okay thank you and if anybody has problems again accessing either of them or finding it please raise your hands and we'll come around for sure maybe just about one more minute and then we'll come together and just go over some of those answers okay we'll take a few minutes now and go over the answers and if there were any questions or people had problems locating anything we can adriel be up at the front kind of driving that so she can navigate to that to help you find it so the first one hopefully everybody felt comfortable expanding and contracting the modules and then it asked you to click on the first blue link and where did that take you the google drive absolutely and where can you find the instructional guide in the google drive sorry some people like this kind of tile or grid view i don't because i can't read the titles of any of the items so i click here to get a list view and then i can see the full title or a fuller title at least depending on the your display size so that you can see more of what's in there but again that's just a personal preference thing udl in action multiple means of representation i like the other view so i use the little tiles but since you're driving it right now choose the one you want so yeah when you clicked on the blue link it popped you into that google drive where you were able to locate the instructional guide so the next question is asking about what are the first five sections of the instructional guide which is really talking about the first five that i very briefly referenced saying they're kind of overviews and synopsis of what are taught but not the actual instructions so you can just check and if you didn't find it you can look up here the first is module overview which is kind of a just a summary statement of what will be taught followed by module outcomes those outcomes are also in canvas for the students on one of their first pages the college and career readiness standards again as jody mentioned those are linked to the anchors and the module delivery notes i'm going we will talk more about these later but i really want to highlight these right now and i'm cute i see judith going yes um uh earlier i referenced that there were about 60 people who had weekly phone calls through these three uh through the three pilots and every week uh people would have some i wish i had known this or if somebody was going to teach it i would tell them this and all of those comments were collated and these lists were created so you can come into this without having to preview everything and come here and see do i need to set up a guest speaker a site visit do i need to do a little arts and crafts and cut up some fake money there's all kinds of things on here so i we just really want to highlight and underscore the importance of previewing that before you're walking into class on monday because there are times where you do need to set up guest speakers and things like that in advance yep and my favorite module at a glance how many of you found that one yeah okay great i see a lot of hands there this is so wonderful because this is just again a quick snapshot of what the students do as pre-work at home for each subtopic and the follow-up activities that are in the face-to-face topic so if i can jump to question number eight and it asks what is the third subtopic in this module this is a great place to look it's note taking and time management adria can you go up just to the top just for a second the very top of this one because here this is their pre pre-class this is everything they do online they come to class on monday and we're doing successful students and we're doing these activities on monday they would go home they would complete these activities for reading strategies and come into class and this is what we would do to follow up and practice and apply then for the third day of class note taking and time management and then what you would do in class so before i start a module i like to look there i don't know if you found that but i found this a really a good resource and support again just that quick snapshot of what would be taught overall that week by the way for people who are doing not five days a week this was also one of my best friends when i had to redraw what i needed to cover in a given day so i guess i also just point to that for people on different types of schedules okay handouts for face to face activities are in two places who can tell me where they found them in the instructional guide there's actually links to them if you got further down into the activity descriptions and we'll look closer at that tomorrow and of course the folder that we looked at earlier which is the face to face activities folder within the instructional guide okay um i do want to talk for a moment about making a copy was everybody successful at making a copy okay we're we're going to talk about this but there is a reason uh does anybody know why you'd have to make a copy yeah because you're getting you're gaining access to a master a master drive and any change made there is a change made for everybody so when you want to modify or on some handouts where you are required to modify you need to save a copy from the master google drive into your own personal google drive first that requires you to be logged into your google drive so that's one thing we found at these trainings is people say it won't save to mine but they haven't logged in yet so you first need to tell it where to direct where to direct to yes so after you save it you have it now in two places you can still link from you know the instructional guide to our version of it and you'll still have access to the master but now in your own google drive you're going to have the second copy of it of which you can edit add delete tweak whatever you need to do to it and so i just would like to have adria is up here she's just gonna quickly demonstrate how to do that one way would be for me to just open a handout wherever i get it from whether i go to the face to face components folder we could practice that later or whether i get it from a link inside the instructional guide itself if i open the handout and then i look up at the file menu up in the upper left when i click there i can see a couple of different ways to do this one is if i can go to make a copy and i can click on that i don't really want to make a copy right now i already have copies of this but i can make a copy it'll allow me to name it it can either say copy or for my setting i had set up a separate drive not a separate drive a separate folder just with all of my things for each of these modules and so i can change it to say something like good and bad study habits nsc my school spring 18 something like that um and then i can choose where it's going to save to you i don't want this to save in the face to face components folder i'll tell it to save to wherever i want it to be and then i can click okay there that's one way in if you are someone who likes to work in google docs and is comfortable doing that have at it i i do like to work in that more and more over time if you are more comfortable and you prefer to work in microsoft office products you can also click file and download this as a word doc same thing you can save it where you will work with it as you will but you can save it as a word doc and then you're able to edit it and work with it in that way you can print it etc as you would do with any other word doc and just on that note once you save one as your own if you just made a personal choice that you wanted to edit something and update it versus it requires you to i'd keep a little note on your desk or in on a file folder of the ones you've changed so you remember in the future oh i made my own version of this or i've already updated it so you know where to navigate to find the copy that you want to use yeah i think that's a really good point you want to be thoughtful of what edits you're making and what it's supporting out of the pre-work to make sure that it's still relevant as a follow-up activity to what they learned for sure yeah thank you oh yeah she's just you know if there was a different job task that you wanted to do or they mentioned earlier somebody didn't want parent teacher conferences they wanted student teacher conferences and you could make those kind of smaller updates to them too but thank you that is important okay so um we're getting close to the end i still want adria to be able to cover one more thing but i just i think i just like to go down to number 11 which is how many new vocabulary words are in a learn 12 and a learn is always followed by what kind of activity a discuss and again i i'm pretty sure i'm right and saying there are three learns in each module so there's a fair amount of new vocabulary so that folder that said online components is just a great handout to print for your students and give to them to have a to have like a master packet of all the vocabulary they're learning so hopefully everybody feels comfortable now having gotten a little deeper into them in the next session we're actually going to be looking more at the instructional guide and pieces like that so i'm going to turn it over to adria for our last bit here this session thank you all right um please know that as we're going through things kind of quickly there's a reason that we have four focus sessions and not just one focus session so we'll be coming back to all of these concepts again which is actually come to think of it another thing that's really key in the way that idea is set up as a curriculum for the students this model um circles back to a lot of things a lot of times and so we'll be experiencing that as well um and you'll be able to come at a lot of these different ideas these different concepts um from different angles over our couple of days together all right so we've seen a bit of an example of this already but i'm going to come back and just remind us good we've got this the computer's sitting on an incline which means the mouse is also on an incline which means it keeps sliding down and so anyway not everything's looking the way we expect it to all the time um it's it's good to know both for ourselves and our own sort of quick quick reference understanding but also um to know for the students and for their ability to really engage pretty easily with this material that everything is set up in a very uh very organized fashion and i don't mean that as a oh it's so organized pad on the back i just mean it's it's on a template and so you will always know that a module has do you already know how many subtopics have you already gotten there right it's already five you know it's five i know you've heard it but you've heard it enough times that you already know and it's only 230 all right so five there are five subtopics i'm yes and and within a subtopic do you know how many activities there might be there will be five okay there could sometimes be six but if there were six why would that be because one's a doing class see i'd say you don't need us but you still do so stay all right but you've got that um so we know that information it's also let's see it's good to know again that that layout will just continue to be the same module after module subtopic after subtopic and shannon has alluded to this more than once and we will get um we'll be able to get into some more examples of it as we go but once again this is built on the type of idea that there would be five maybe two hour sessions per week to give you sort of nine to ten online hours and nine to ten face to face hours and if you don't teach on that type of schedule it's no problem but it just requires a little bit of you know change in the way that you order things and it's it's a good idea um but also a not too difficult idea i think to think about that and how it will work so for example shannon will talk a lot about how well it's written for nine hours and i have nine hours but my nine hours are three times three instead of two two two one so shannon will look through the activities the amount of time that they might be expected to take in terms of the the canvas portion the online pre-work and then the face to face portion that will be getting into a little bit more later in the afternoon and she'll just draw her lines in a different place um so that if she gets through maybe in one day she'll get through one full sub subtopic and then just half of the next one but she'll take a look when she's assigning the pre-work to look at which face to face activities can i get to let me assign the pre-work that will support and prepare students coming into that so you see what i mean but we'll get you know again we can get into more specifics of it as it relates to you for your particular schedules this is um really just another way of looking at something like the module at a glance grid that little green and white grid that was in the instructional guide and as we look down this we can see sort of that typical schedule here you see oh this is so shadowy i feel like a batman or something okay so i can see subtopic successful students is listed here twice because it's listed both for the e-learning and the face to face this says sunday it doesn't have to be sunday i would do it on sunday you should rest on sunday also you should do your pre-work sooner anyway but anyway anytime before monday's class let's say they would do their two ish hours of pre-work then they would come and have the face to face portion the face to face activities related to that same sub topic and then anytime after class on monday but before tuesday they would do the pre-work for tuesday's reading strategies subtopic so you can see it's sort of they it's kind of like they straddle the days and it's not a really difficult concept but it takes just a little time at the beginning to help students understand so we finished today we were taught we talked about successful students tomorrow we'll talk about reading strategies but today i need you to now go home or go to the library or wherever and do your pre-work for reading strategies tomorrow when you come that'll be our time to talk about that together and to practice together so there is in addition to all the instructional guides that you're clicking to um through your modules there in canvas and you'll so far we've just clicked on the study skills module instructional guide but you'll have instructional guides for each of the eight modules that will work through in our focus sessions you'll see those there but there is one instructional guide just a sample one from a different module that's in your conference book and so if you do have the printed version of that you would find that i think starting on page 97 is the header for the instructional guide and and then the module at a glance grid i believe is on page 101 page 101 um if you're if you don't have a printed copy don't worry about trying to find that in the pdf because that's just another online version and you already have online versions i just wanted you to know that if you have a paper copy you can touch one now okay feel free touch one now all right i think that one is job skills and interviewing the one that we included there it's just one more module all right well we are going to move on and practice a bit of this concept with another module a second module so it's your turn now again and we're going to open the next module after study skills we're going to go to the american education system module i'll click over to canvas in a minute but before i leave this screen i'd just like to talk through these instructions because then we're going to lose this slide and i'd like to have canvas up on the screen so we can kind of look at that together whoops okay so before i leave this screen let's just go through we're going to go to the american education system module which is the next one we're going to click on the learn and give you some time to really dig in and see that learn activity and click around in it you might have done a little bit of that in this previous scavenger hunt activity but probably not much so i'd like to give you some time thank you okay we'll i'll show it i'll i'll go over there i just want to walk through these directions the learn as shannon mentioned is called a quiz it's built kind of housed in the format of a quiz not because we're trying to do some kind of summative assessment on students the minute that they get new vocabulary that's not nice but really that's just the the activity type in the canvas platform that works best for housing different types of activities all collected together as one so we'll give you some time to work through that activity and see how it's built see how it operates and then if you have time after you do the learn you can continue on and do the other activities that are in that first sub topic the first sub topic is the american school system so i'm going to click over now to canvas so we can take a look at what all that means together i'm back in canvas i have finished for now looking at the study skills module so i'm going to click to collapse or close that module scroll down just a touch and open the american education system module inside the first thing that i'll see is the google drive folder but for right now you don't need to look at that actually for right now we'd like to give you a chance to really explore some online pieces that's really what we wanted to have as the focus for this first session so you'll see the google drive folder you can skip that for now you'll see a listing of objectives for this module and we do most of us i think keep that published for the students but under the first sub topic american school system you can see a learn activity and then you'll see a discussion and a few other content pages so if you have time after the learn go ahead and explore those inside the learn again you're going to find that it's built as a quiz so when you click on it my view will be slightly different from yours because you'll have a student view by default and i haven't clicked over to a student view but i can do even from the teacher view i can do what's called preview on a quiz i can do preview and then so i can kind of see what you see you'll have a blue button that says take this quiz i think so go ahead and click on that and as you scroll down you're going to find several different types of activities will give us a quick brief tour of that this morning in the opening session one that i want to draw just a little bit of attention to is this read and speak activity which comes after the initial list of vocabulary read and speak this is the pronunciation practice and there are a couple of things i'm going to point out about this one i'm going to go up to the top and collapse that left menu so that i can get a little more real estate oh that looks so weird and then what i'm going to do is do a little command or it might be control for you and go minus sign to shrink down if that's a display issue for students those are a couple of just common problems that can pop up so sometimes collapsing that menu on the left or just changing your display size can help um i'm sorry yeah so one of the things that the first thing that i did was um i did there was this menu was open on the left so i went to the top and just clicked to collapse that and the second thing that i did this is just a keyboard trick um for me it's on an on a mac it's the command key that loopy funny one with a plus sign if you're on a pc then it's going to be control with the plus or minus sign you can make your display larger or smaller that's all okay sure there you go you can get a zoom i think that's for your browser your browser maybe has a different zoom display that you can do so you can get 90 percent 125 percent as you wish okay the the last thing i want to mention and then i swear i'm going to stop talking because i want you to have time to explore is um one of the things that students will learn as a part of the intro to idea module is how to record themselves and you haven't had the benefit of working through that yet so if you don't know yet i'm going to tell you that when you get into that read and speak activity um you will find you probably can't see it because it's so little up here but you'll see it on your screen looks like a little tv screen with an arrow in the middle looks like it might be like a a video or something and if you click on that one it's record and upload media i'm going to mention just as a caveat that this function sometimes will work really really well but there's an issue of sort of the the unique combination for different computers and different um flash permissions and different wi-fi connection strength and what have you right there's this magical combination and if you don't hit it right then sometimes you'll have issues that you might just need to figure out what works on your combination of technology in your setting and then you'll know how it works and then you can make it work magically for every student i know that on my computer right now in chrome that doesn't work but i know that in my computer right now if i go over to safari it works so i could demonstrate it for you if you like um but just know that if you click there and then it says flash required you might have to run a flash update you don't want to do that right now do it later um if you have any issues flag us and we'll see what we can do but our answer might be oh maybe the wi-fi is not strong enough try again later or it might be oh you need to update your flash try again later i swear it works and it's really cool yes uh-huh and then just upload it yeah absolutely that absolutely works as well okay i'm gonna stop talking thank you i i do actually want to hop on to that you guys you guys can get going start start getting into learn but i just want to hop on to that because as we were talking earlier this morning about access to technology if the majority of your students are working on tablets or mobile devices the recording feature is one of the most problematic and one that is often the most difficult to access so i don't know how to do that but i i have some students who do so maybe just exploring with your it department getting some instructions about here's how you can record on your phone and then upload it so they can still satisfy that component but thank you for mentioning that that's great hi everyone i'm gonna call us back together i told you i'd stop talking for a few minutes but i can't stop for that long just teasing um but i hope you've had a chance to at least explore that learn activity a bit and maybe branch out into some of the other activity types you see some read and listen read and watch kinds of things um we're coming to the end of our time for this first focus session but luckily for us we get to come back together again in a few minutes after a bit of a break so if you have any questions um you've you've been good about asking your questions as we go but if you have any questions certainly feel free to ask feel free to document them in that question and answer document that was up in the very top module um at the top of your canvas course and we're gonna take a little bit of a break i think there's coffee tea and probably more food because they just keep feeding us and feeding us and feeding us i think there'll be some refreshments out in the lobby um and then we'll be back in here let's say at 305 is that good okay yeah let's say about 305 and we'll get started for our second session today thanks very much


I like what you said about how your level of free will is linked to your level of consciousness. Do you think that it's also linked to our level of intelligence? And then how does that play into like, transhumanism or blending with AI? Yeah, this is a very tricky debate, yeah. And I like it's true because my struggle is, I'm not sure if we were to implement technology into humans and transhumanism was the direction we're going in. Because we're natural and our thoughts and come from the universe. Is that then the logical next step of natural evolution? Or do we avoid that and stick to just being humans and see where that takes us, but it might be slower? So I'm honestly divided. I don't know what would be the better route. Yeah, so for me, I think what it is, is there's this collective consciousness that we can all tap into, which is infinite. And I think that's kind of, that's I think where we should be focusing on. But then, so when you then go to transhumanism or AI, usually that means that the AI technology has been created by a small group of people, sometimes even a handful of humans. And if their agendas or interests are not good, then it becomes very dangerous because they're essentially dictating the way you think. And this is a problem I think with a lot of social media and search engine algorithms, is they algorithmically get to determine, they get to like kind of guide our thoughts and our thought processes. Even like with Google, auto suggest, they alter the things that they suggest to you, which then alters the way you think about what should I search for? How should I ask questions? What topics should I focus on? And then by definition, the ones they don't suggest are the ones you kind of avoid or you don't think to look them up. And it's like suddenly an algorithm is determining what we actually have the way we think instead of connecting individually to source and collective intelligence, which I think that is the key to evolution. I think transhumanism, it could be used for good, but I think it's also, there's a big danger with that. Definitely, no, you are right. Especially with the way things are going when you look at the metaverse and that's how it's all monopolized with one company like, yeah, no, if that technology were to get in the wrong hands, it definitely would not look good for humanity. And like I said, the element of free meal would probably be completely diminished because you'd be completely controlled by the 1984 robots. Yeah, the Thought Police, the Ministry of Truth. I'll tell you what though, the one, if I was going to use a metaverse, like walk around in a metaverse, the last one I would want to do would be the Facebook one. Like having Mark Zuckerberg in control of my virtual reality would be a nightmare. Yeah. I mean, the scary thing is that honestly might have been no escape from it in our society. Like it could just be implemented as like, this is the standard way we work now.  No one could stop the internet. You know, these guys with money, honest to do, just control the world and we could just be living in some disorder in reality where we're in headsets. Yeah, even this could be a simulation. We wouldn't have an easy way of knowing actually.


Dealing with family members on Thanksgiving can be super super hard But in this video, I'm gonna help give you some clarity as to why these situations are so tough and what you can do about it To maintain your mental health through Thanksgiving. So stay tuned. What's up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution Thanksgiving's coming up and I've had a lot of requests to talk about How you deal with difficult family members There's a lot of arguments or sometimes there's not even an argument, but it's that tension in the room Maybe it's just someone in your family who really kind of irks you in the wrong way a lot of times We're dealing with anger or disappointment or just different types of emotions and yeah in this video We're not even necessarily talking about distant family members We're not talking about your aunt or uncle or cousin or grandma or whoever it is Sometimes it's your mom or dad or brother or sister. Sometimes it's these people in your life and there's one reason For this there's one reason why you get really upset But it lies under the surface and a lot of people don't realize it Personally, I've been through this. My family is out of their minds, but I love them dearly I was always told when I started working on my mental health when I was working with my mentor He was always telling me Chris It's a lot easier for you to fix you than it is to fix the rest of the world and it didn't make sense to me I'm like, what do you mean? It's a lot easier for me to fix the fix the rest of the world But it started to make sense because what I realized is all of these issues were coming from within me Me I can work on I cannot fix them. I cannot change them That is kind of the first tip. I'm going to give you it's just this acceptance that you are not going to be able to Change anybody. This is going to be an ongoing going fame on the rewired soul. So I hope it really sinks in I hope that you can realize that trying to change somebody or just going against the current Hoping that they will change it's going to lead up to a lot of very miserable and depressing Anxious and angry times so we need to start accepting the fact that we are not changing people But that's not the solution. The solution is to figure out why Why does this affect me the way it does and it can all be boiled down to one word and one word alone that word is Expectations now one of the reasons why I'm always trying to pound meditation and mindfulness into your head is because there's so many things Happening on the subconscious level that we never ever address Meditation and mindfulness help give us some clarity, but I'm going to teach you how to be more mindful even if you're not Meditating so let's talk about these expectations and how they relate to you every single one of us every person on earth We have expectations of different relationships, and here's what I mean by that. I Expect my mom to be a certain way. I expect my dad to be a certain way I expect my brother my sister you can even start talking about how you expect a Partner a boyfriend a girlfriend a husband or wife how they should be these are expectations that we don't know that we're Projecting on the people because it's happening Constantly right underneath the surface. This is the solution. I'm gonna give to you. It's gonna give you so much clarity I cannot even explain Okay, so what you're going to do you can take a notebook if you watch my other video about the three steps to Maintaining your emotional health on Thanksgiving. You should already have a notebook But either way you can do this on your computer or anywhere Just the act of writing this out is going to give you so much clarity on this situation So I will show you an example right now now my mom I'm going to go visitor over Thanksgiving with my son my mom and I we have a great relationship We're like best friends But I'm going to do this exercise with you to kind of let you know where I was at when I started working on these Things about my expectations. So what you're going to do is you're going to write down the person, okay? Mom dad cousin brother, whoever it is write down the person and Below that I want you to start every single sentence with what I have right here, which is a good blank should be Okay, right there now blank fill that in with mom dad sister brother cousin whoever it is Okay, a good blank should be and write this down write down a list write down these expectations This is going to give you a lot of clarity. So for example, what you're seeing here a good mom should Accept me exactly the way I am a good mom Should respect the choices. I've made in my life a good mom should Support me rather than put me down Let's use another example politics is something that's come up a lot lately people are worried about going into Thanksgiving with differing politics. So let's talk about this real quick. All right, so a good uncle should Be more liberal or conservative whatever your political affiliation is right a good uncle should agree with my opinion a good uncle should Understand my point of view a good uncle should Not argue with me over something that I know is right This is what I want you to do with anybody in your family who are your you are worried about dealing with Make this list. Okay, the word I want to stick out to you is the word should should Implies an expectation of what a person should be now when I personally did this exercise and I had a list of 133 people I wasn't just doing it for the holidays I was doing it for my entire life and I started realizing that I put a lot of Expectations on a lot of other people. I put a lot of expectations that I can't even live up to and that's We're really open my mind as I started doing this list I was like, holy crap My brain is telling me that people should be more accepting of my decisions and they shouldn't judge me But this entire time I've been judging them and I start to get this clarity of what these expectations are and then I start realizing that I have These are realistic expectations Why are they unrealistic because I can't expect every person on planet earth to be who I think they should be now Here comes the tricky part is When you start justifying your expectations All right, some of you are watching this right now and you're like but Chris a good mom should be this a good mom Should be that a good father a good brother a good sister. They should be these things and there is the should again Here's where mindfulness and meditation helps you it starts Making you ask the questions why or where where did this idea come from? Where did this idea that a good mom should be this way where this idea come from that a good father or brother or sister Should be this way. Where did that core belief come from? Once we start diving in a little bit deeper and asking ourselves that question We're starting to get down to the root of the problem We start finding that maybe we have fixed ideas based on something I'll be completely honest with everybody watching this right now When I started checking in with myself and saying where do these expectations come from they came from being raised by a television I was watching Shows like step-by-step family matters full house all these different things of these perfect perfect families And that's what trained my brain to expect all families to be like this So once I get down there I can start to remove the fog from these lenses that I've had and I can start accepting people exactly the way they are and That is how you're gonna start learning how to interact with your family in a new way because you start to realize the Expectations that you're constantly putting on other people and what we realize is that we don't want people expecting too much from us So why are we expecting all this from them? So here is the question of the day folks This is a question of the day that I want you to come back to this video and reply to What did you find out? What clarity did you get from writing down this list of the expectations? You have of friends or family members who are going to be there at Thanksgiving I can't wait to see what you guys find out about yourselves Thank you so much for watching and if you liked this video Please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't yet hit the little round subscribe button right there I'm always making videos to help you out with your mental and emotional health also to the left of me click or tap on one Of those videos. I have all sorts of good stuff on this channel. Alright, so thanks again, and I'll see you next time


A lot of times you might not be able to see the enemy until Geer is right on top of him. If he's doing his job, he's going to be covered at the shield. The scheme maneuver for today was a company attack. It had two supporting elements, the first supporting element set up a support by fire in order to receive the first objective. Simultaneously, we had another platoon push up to use the far objective. You got to be able to project power, especially if we're going to operate in contested areas in the Pacific. That means pushing out the tools and the island chains in order to operate in those terrains. Exercise Kouindong is the latest in a series of exercises that we've had the opportunity to execute alongside our Australian counterparts, as well as the United States Army and the United States Air Force. Really the focus of this exercise is on expeditionary advanced-based operations. It's a little over 500 miles between our left flank out in Western Australia and our right flank here in the Northern Territory. One of our enduring responsibilities is to be able to respond to crisis and conflict immediately if our nation calls upon us, but doing so over vast distances that replicate what it's really like to operate here in the Indo-Pacific. We went from Raff curtain to Yampy Sound via Ospreys. Once we landed, we immediately went into a three-click movement alongside the Australians. This is the first time that Marines themselves in a MRF-D have ever been in Western Australia. Being in an unfamiliar area allowed us to get some more realistic training and helped us better fit the scene in the scenario of what we were trying to accomplish. All the gear on us in order to sustain ourselves for those few days, we ended up making it work and we ended up doing really good work with the Australians by our side. That myself and my unit took away from this was that we can work cohesively with the Australian side by side and be able to accomplish any mission that Hire gives us.


Hey, I have a bone to pick with some people. I was just painting today, innocently, around 5 p.m. And I got a FaceTime from my friends saying, when are we moving out? And I was like, what do you mean? And then I saw an email from my college telling me, everyone must be moved out by Sunday. The halls are closing down. Didn't I say last week that something might happen? And also didn't I mention that if they wanted us to move out, they should have done it before spring break? Cause technically we're all on spring break right now. Half of NYU isn't there. Mind you, 20% are international. They've all moved back probably, expecting to come back April 19 cause they can't move everything on the plane. Not only are most flights out of the USA canceled, which they should be, but like every international student, I would say doesn't have a way to come back if they've already left.  I'm not targeting NYU. I'm mainly talking about every college in general that has refused to cancel college since the moment this virus has become apparent in the US. They should have known, let's cancel it, Harvard canceled it, UPenn canceled, Temple have, yes, they were all aware of it and have moved everyone out. And I just can't help but think the reason NYU was so reluctant, which they don't really have an excuse because coronavirus is most apparent in New York. We were one of the biggest schools in general and we're in the middle of New York. It's a hotspot. It's asking for this to just spread. For them to say, no, you're gonna come back April 19 and we're not gonna give you a refund for the whole entire semester. To me, it's just like, do you care about the welfare of your students or do you care about the money you're gonna get? Because now they said they have to refund this and I hope that every other college, every other public school has realized that this is a serious issue. Letting these kids and us as students, even though we're teenagers, go to school in a public area is just asking for this virus to spread because we don't have to get sick to spread it. My aunt and uncle are here and they're in their 60s. My parents are in their 50s. They're more likely to get it than me and suffer from it. And they said, if you can't make it, we'll ship it back to you. But also like, how accurate is shipping gonna be? You're going to miss some stuff. So you basically have to go. Like I originally felt at the survey and my sister said, you should just fill it out and say like, have them ship it here because it's too risky for us to go there with aunt and uncle home. And my dad's like, but don't you have everything there? And there's no way they'll get all of that.  So I have to end up going right now. I'm going right now. Like I just got this email 30 minutes ago and you're gonna come with me. Day five of quarantine. Do you want to guess who he was with?  All right, update. We have paid the New York toll. My dad has provided us with N95 masks, hand sanitizer, multi-surfer swipes, gloves, all these boxes. Thank you for driving me. No. Oh my goodness, it looks the same. Okay, mask there on, back in my apartment. Let's move out. Hello, this is that ASMR Asian. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I won't. You can't see this, but I'm sweating so much during this whole time because it's a lot of energy moving back. And I was not in the mood because I expected to move back three months after.  That's my roommate actually. I don't know why everyone thinks I'm Jamaican just because there was a flag in a video. All right, round one of moving carts. I'm sweating real hard. First trip done. I'm gonna go back up and get more. This is round two. There's not enough room in this car. One more round, one more round. We can do it in one more round, I bet. Hear that alarm? That's what's going on in my head right now. Just constant stress because this elevator won't, we just have this and then the refrigerator is left. Answer now, can we A, fit this all in? B, leave the refrigerator behind or C, leave this mattress topper behind. This should be our last round then we just have to get the refrigerator. What do you think? Yeah, that's good. Yeah. We're bringing in the dolly to carry the refrigerator now. Go ahead. Finally back home, it's been like four hours and I have to immediately take a shower, immediately. Don't mind the cough that is growing on my head right now. I'm gonna go to sleep and I'll wake up early tomorrow to start moving everything. I have to move everything, I have to organize everything and I have to wash everything and fold all my clothes again probably. At least I get something to do during this quarantine. Spring break is great, honestly. Just great, goodbye. Good morning. So I'm gonna spend the whole day trying to see if I can move everything from my car to the front door then from the front door to the basement. I don't know how I'm gonna do this. I have to organize everything, everything. You know how much I brought to college. I know it's too much, but I require a lot and in general, this is a lot people have to deal with. So yeah, I'm gonna time lapse the whole thing because this is gonna be at least three hours. I think this is a pretty good look. I'm only listening to my Spotify playlist called Killin' It because I just killed all the bacteria on my hands. I just disinfected everything. If you have bad breath, this is just torture by the way. So chew gum. All right, let the time lapse begin. Am I a man now? Am I a masculine gay?  The whole dolly wheel got in. I have to wash that, I have to wash everything.  I'm also talking to myself in the middle of an empty neighborhood. Small town vibes. Also the reason why my family isn't helping me is because I'm an independent woman and also I don't want them to catch anything that came from New York. Tell me if you have a mom that hoards plastic bags. This is all of the extra plastic bags she gave us. It's getting hot. It's 50 degrees and it's already getting hot. Just wanted you guys to know that the reason why I'm wearing a mask is because my dad forced me to, like there was no way I was gonna get out of it. I am aware that people who actually don't have the sickness shouldn't be buying so many and it should be more reserved for people in hospitals and people who actually do have the sickness. Don't bother commenting about it. But I know this seems like it took a long time but it only took around 20 minutes. But it was very exhausting so I kind of this as my exercise for the past three days. Okay, everything is moved out besides the bags and the refrigerator. All I have to do is move the dolly and then everything will be technically inside the house. Oh shoot, we almost forgot. Most important thing. Oh my God. I'm going to organize from the front door. So like slowly take things I need upstairs and everything else will go to the basement.  Gonna take at least an hour to organize though. Let me tell you. And I was wrong. It took an hour and 30 minutes actually.  I know, I know, okay. My parents have told me that I brought too much. My sister has told me that I brought too much. My vision though was to bring everything that I would ever need in college and slowly bring it home during the second semester which I did. I did start taking stuff home but my plan sort of got sidetracked because of a virus. And here's a look of someone who has just been through too much in one day. Look at how much we have. This goes on and on and on. And I have to organize all of it. You know, I was not aware that my voice could make that sound but it did. So what I'm doing right now is taking everything from the end and putting it in a room where it has to go. So I have three rooms down there. There's one to the left is my bedroom. The one in the middle is my filming room. And the one to the right is the bathroom. I basically just made subcategories for all of my items and I also started washing the dirty clothes and plushies that I had. So this is everything that needs to go to the basement. This is all the recycling. This is just extra plastic bags that my mom gave me.    And yes, I am dying. Honestly, I feel like the bathroom took the longest to do even though I knew it was the shortest because the amount of stuff I have just for my skin is unhealthy. You don't have to remind me. I started at the top trying to see like, what do I want to display to the public? And in each cabinet, I created categories that I'll explain later on. But I was trying to find a place to put my castor oil because I like to comb it through my eyebrows and eyelashes because I have none. But I think I spilled a whole tablespoon of castor oil onto the bath mat and I had to wipe that up with baby wipes. I'm so good. You gotta see this. Bam. Look at it. Ooh. So my sister's here so this is her side. This is currently all I use on my face from day to night. So this side's the morning routine and this side's the nighttime routine. Over here we have like chapstick, flush, just like little miscellaneous things. Down here is just some extra tools for skincare. They're also included right here. And here we have all my extra stuff that isn't skincare. This is all my extra skincare. Yes, it's a lot. Don't remind me. In the case of an apocalypse, I have to be prepared. So I have backups for my backups. These are all of the sheet masks that have. These are all of the other masks I have. And most of it I bought with my money, okay? Like 95% because guess what? Companies don't really like it when your name has Mijian Asian in it. All right, on to the next room, my bedroom. We're getting very intimate.  Throughout this whole process I realized I have too many clothes and most of them that you see right now will eventually go up on my deep hop. You all know I went through like the phase of wearing colors every day but now I'm muted and I also have no reason to dress up because I'm not gonna see anyone for the next semester. So I'm gonna start selling them and donating them. Now this whole part is just me taking different bags from outside because I have so many clothes just in random places. Putting them onto my bed, having to fold them, sometimes staring at a piece of clothing for five minutes straight, trying to determine if it gave me joy. Like I actually Marie condoned all of my clothes and it worked, I got rid of about half of them. I also had to organize all of my hangers and attach hangers to every clothing that I planned to sell which is very counterproductive because I basically took them off in the beginning and then put them back on at the end. Also let me know if there's a better way to organize sweaters because they take up too much space in my dresser. Like they took up two shelves and then that made me have to force my t-shirts and shorts into a small box which is not ideal but I know I can't hang on my sweaters. I learned that the hard way.  This also made me resort to putting my hoodies on the side tables that I have. You would think I would just put them in the closet but no, my brain doesn't function that way. The moment I said this closet is going to be for button-ups and jackets, I meant that. Y'all ain't ready for this, okay? Accessories, more accessories, don't ask why my mom put that there. Fragrances, sweaters, part one, sweaters, part two, t-shirts, shorts, jeans, that's leisure. All button-ups, all jackets, all belts, all my socks, hats, scarves, miscellaneous. I am amazing at this but I'm also so tired. Like my legs are sore from walking back and forth so much. I think I want to take a break and try to finish the rest tonight because I only have one room left but that's also like everything else goes in that room. We'll see. So I did end up doing some of the work this last until 3 a.m. because this room is god-awful to organize. This whole room houses all of my electronics, anything related to art and just random storage. Also peek the Minecraft painting that I finally finished if you follow my Twitter. If you don't, I'm very offended.  Oh yeah, and then I passed out. All right, so this is the last day, I'm almost done. I'll see how long this takes. I have a full duffel bag of clothes to donate and I also have another full closet of clothes I'm gonna sell in my depot. I was gonna wait until the summer but looks like I can start now because I'm not going back to college. So this is the final time lapse. Don't really have much to say except if you want a room tour, let me know in the summertime because I was very proud of how this ended up even though it didn't take that long actually. The bedroom actually took three hours and this one only took an hour to do. It just fell very long to me because no matter how much I organized the floor would still feel like a mess just because of how many bags were there. So then my stress level went up obviously but technically this is the end of my college semester in New York because I'm officially moved out and now I just have online classes to do. I'm still going to go to New York though because there are some YouTubers that I plan to meet eventually. If you know, you know, that's all I'll say. All right, we're basically done. This is all the painting stuff. I just had to take all the decorations from college and shove them all here.  No, that is not a mural. It's not a mural. Oh wait, hold on, I forgot the best part. Bam, we got lights again. So everything is finally done. I might do a room redecoration in this room in the summer. Like I said, everything is temporary. I have no will to decorate actually and like put effort because I know if I decorate now, I'm just going to have to move it to college anyways.

In fact, kumukona suali wneza dukawere and it's the hashtag social Friday. All right ladies and gentlemen. Hi. How are you? Skratcha kwa mimi wu bajipatia shugu wali. Moga paku musalimia sasa?

Please introduce yourself to the people. Hi. How you doing? I hope you are fine. Manjina, I.D. Maureen Mutani. Na uchastu kama miyama. Okay. That's a random kwenkidi. Mam, hi. We made it. No, we did not. I did not yet. Tell me what you do, Maureen Kings. I am an influencer and a content creator. Nyi hindi omunanda hospital. How does money say it? I don't know how Mansai says it, but it's really cool when he does. So we've been told, Influencers who are going to hospitals and pretending to be sick so that they can promote the hospitals. I am the A. What? I mean, I've heard of maybe dentals, but maybe you have issues that maybe get fakes to you, and that ties right to hospital men. That's too much. So brand ambassador. What does an influencer actually do? Well, as an influencer, I market products, I market basically, I'm there to influence people. And you can be a good influencer and a bad influencer obviously. So for us, we just influence products, music, movies, anything. And also putting content out there, like making scripted films of like that. Right now we have a competition on TikTok for filmmaking. So if you are good at, they're getting paid, I think it's 100, I don't know, it's 1000 euros. I don't know. Say it to the dollar. Tiktok. Wait a minute. Okay. I have a special place in my heart for theatre and film. So I've seen some out there things. For example, there was a time there was a competition for creating content on your phone, only on your phone, edited on, shot on and everything. So it's just on a name. It still has the timeline, but TikTok has like 60 minutes, 60 seconds or something. No, right now we have, 3 minutes. Maximum, 3 minutes. I'm a 5 minutes. So recently you can create longer videos. But you know the purpose for TikTok is to watch short videos. So even if it's like 5 minutes, it can't be longer than maybe, I don't know, but I think it's time. So how do I create a short film using TikTok? Does it include filters? I mean it depends on what you're going for. So for example if you're just, because the filters they're there to help us get what we want. So depend on what you want. You have everything that you need your creators to settings, your filters, your sounds. So it depends on what you're going for. And you're mistreative too. Let's go there and I'll tell you. Wait, I don't know TikTok. But imagine it's not hard. It's not hard. Once you get used to it and you know you have to have that interest. Without the interest you have to do something. So you definitely have to have that. So are you, is it something that you've already submitted or you're going to join the competition? Well. I was just saying that's bad. And you know you can create a film on TikTok and apply. You can win. Right now young people are making big moves. So I wouldn't be surprised if one of us from Kenya won. I started noticing when this Majibu quit high school to go travel the world. It's getting going to win awards. That's what she turned to 20. 20.  I didn't even know that was so scary. Alright, so ha. She is also a CEO chief executive officer mahali. I run a business. My own business so I'm an artist. As an artist you get to do a lot of different stuff and also with what I'm doing at school. Most of it is art related. So for my business basically art. I make custom made items. Like if you want keychains, if you want bookmarks, if you want books. The cover books. Because most of these items we don't really find them here. So I was like, I also need some cute items. And they are beautiful. Crafts by kings. Do you make them yourself? Yeah, handmade. Made with the love. When you find time to make a tiktok, it's a full time job. And you still making content and you still making things. Where do you find balance? You just have to know. How many days. How many hours do they have. Many hours, at 10. Not 10 to 15? We don't know. And then if you don't do, someone else will do it so we have to do it. We'll not know. But don't forget to have fun at the same time. We're still young. If you want, come over to 10. It's very important to be patient. Most of the time, there is a trend that people are working so much. You don't have time to even watch a movie or do something. Or even take a bath. You know, show them the chwa chwa toka. And people, it's okay to take time to yourself and as a creator. No, you see, I felt it because it's true. When these small, small things are in a kutafraisha sisi kuwenewe. We take them for granted a lot. Atakukula, nasduke, mtala kula kwa enjiya. Manze kaa, e bumu wa food vene na fa. Enjoyment. Allow me to enjoy myself. And that point is not very far away from people who are getting out of depression, but getting burnt out. A lot from the East is that I'm scared. Suicide rates are just off the chains now. So how do we encourage someone to, you know, e nani jipende? Woo, woo. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so, I want to say from it. You say that. But I mean it happens. You know, I used to, when I was young, I used to hear about depression. Like, so someone wants to not get depressed. It's life. Like it's good. Like, why people so, you know. Why we don't get to that point, you know. Laki ne. You've seen life come life. Yeah. Why? Inatakukuze ukiwa umevalia backpackingi ina extra. Ina day between everyday to recover from the day before.  Like, one step at a time. You know, even if you want to do it right now. Like, me normally say, if you have a dream or a goal, it is, you're thinking about it because it has been put there. You can't think of something. Um, and imagination.  So that imagination has been put inside you. So definitely, if you're thinking about doing something, I'ma wanting something. Just, just hold on, you know. At the end of the day it has been done because you've got about it, you know. And also you're trying your, you're trying your best. You never say ma, you want something, you know to work it. You have to put in the work. Nothing comes easy. So that's often easy to put in the work? Eh. It has been done. It has been done. Oku enze it has been done. Especially if you're a chick, you have to. And then there's all. Ok. See international women, they pull less. Anything? Yes, they pull a little bit. It's pulling a little bit. But I understand there's a special kind of, alafu, ona tuwe na shinani kumbusha akuna surasoft. So kuna bitu zingini na na niyambesu, see process. So now, me I'm just making fun of her, you know. But there's someone who's actually looking at her and like, you can run a business, you. There are things like that, there are personalities out here in this world. How do you deal with people who bully you? Or people who just kinda... Anakwari bia modu kama medu? How do I deal with that? I'd say, first of all, you see, if it's online, if you're doing social media things at the end of the day, it's prone to happen, you know. It'll happen especially once you start seeing those negative comments, those things. Just know you're doing something. That's the only way. So at the end of the day, la zima zi kuji.  Because I've noticed they attract more attention. But that person who's commenting me on Kitumbaya, they're probably trying to get your attention, you know. So they'll just say possibly anything to get your attention. So it's for you to know this person is just someone sitting on my dream, that's her. And I'm just going to ruin my whole day because if it's someone, I don't know. Or we'll never ever meet in your life. Exactly. So also you can delete, also you can use them to create content, you know. It's... Oh, I like that last one. Yes, you're just using that too. I like that last one. We've formed Angina. Ah! Neza kutani meribubu, Mike. Did we get overexcited? Sorry guys, sorry, sorry. Atwetwefo Facebook, atwetwefo channel on Twitter, atwetwefo, underscore channel on the ground. Hashtag is social Friday. Now we're asking on our socials what people are manifesting for, what's at the top of the list. So what's at the top of your list? So for me, I enjoy content processing. So I'd say manifesting to be a better content creator. Like shooting wise, editing wise, creative wise. Because right now I'm doing creative directing in my own way. So that's... That's...   So if you're better at that, if you become good at that, you're going places, you know. Classics tech, so... For me that is what I want to do. It's what your purpose aligned with your talent. Also, people should know if you want to do something, do something that you don't feel like it's too hard for you, like when you're creating content.  Then it's everything easier. When you wake up, this is something If you like doing makeup, you do that. If you like dressing up, you do that. And it's things easier. I like that. Plains basically.  Make you just happy. Say you're taking on kumpit na hei. Missy stress. Sakin imbono as tona shumakwa gaibu. Shida hei tu na kwa na rika. No as na shuna hei tu kita kumpit, kwa niti na hei na wabi.

So just choose what makes you happy. Yes. I like that. Yeah. You can find me on my social at Moring Kings. Hala. Sasa unombon na mera unaji noka. Ni nini saa na kama, saa shuwa. Hashtag social Friday. I went to end the two kwangoma, lakush, pa kama, just right now.
