Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. We're going to take a look at that footsie, of course. That's why it's in the news because of the Brexit thing. You know, it's still in a downtrend. It doesn't look like it wants to have a whole lot of movement to the upside. If we take a look at the little bit longer timeframe, you'll notice here that it is still making much lower highs all the way through last May. So that's only part of it. But we need to look at that German bund that we talked about a couple weeks ago. Actually, it was on the 8th of February when we were making the big pattern up here. And this, if you recall, was a 78% retracement, guardly cell signal. And we have actually gone sideways for two weeks, folks. I mean, that's not bearish action. I don't believe if we take that high out, it's going to go much higher than that because of that long-term pattern is so powerful. But it's certainly not moving down. That's the main thing to really look at. Well, last night, I was working with a group out of Melbourne, Australia, a trading group there that I happened to know. They asked me to make a little presentation. And so I did. And what I thought I would do is to walk through what I was looking at so you get an idea of just some of the things that we were covering. And this is stuff that I usually send out to the folks to let them know what I'm doing. But if you take a look at this one right here, this is the long-term weekly of the Euro. I've just drawn a few patterns in here. I tried to, starting on the far left and the lower left-hand corner, you notice the 135 pattern we had back when the Euro was trading around 87 back in 2000. That's when my grandson was born. And then you notice it made a three-drive to a top pattern in 03. Then we completed the ABCD. Then we had the 61% retracement that we just completed here at the 127 level. That was off the high that we made back in 2011. And you'll notice that we were right at the 61% retracement just a couple of days ago at the 112-20 level that we focused on quite a bit. But what I tried to do as I was walking through some of these is to show the difference between the shorter term and the longer term on these because it gives you a better idea of some time of what is happening. And these folks were not even exposed to ABCD pattern. They had a perfunctory, whatever that word means. Idea of what Fibonacci really was. And of course Fibonacci is just a subsection of the numbers from Sacred Geometry that Bryce Gilmore told me about many, many years ago. And of those numbers, of course, we used 61% retracement for retracements and 78% retracement. And for expansions, we used 1.27 and 1.618. These folks had never heard of 78 or 1.27. So that part was interesting to them. But as you'll notice here on this hourly chart of the euro that I brought up that it covered the time period between November the 18th to where we are right now. And we showed the ABCD patterns. And those ABCD patterns were just spot on folks, the big ones between December 11th and January 4th. The perfect ABCD to the upside. And then from January the 10th to February the 14th, a beautiful ABCD to the downside. And if you look at it closely there on February 13th in the lower right hand corner, you'll notice that that also was a three drive to a bottom pattern. Then the market rallied up and you'll notice the first little red harmonic there. That's the 61% retracement. And if you go to the right, just three more days, you'll see it did the same type of a move. And that's leading to where we are right now. It's just one 14 area, which is going to be a very interesting one because that's going to be the 61% retracement of the high that we made back on January 29th. So those are just a few of the things that we covered that we did a little bit, a little tiny bit of risk control. But folks, you have a special chance today. Steve Rhodes at five o'clock Eastern Times is going to give a seminar webinar on risk control and risk, he really knows this stuff folks. So if you have problems controlling risk and stuff, go to TFNN and listen to the webinar tonight at five o'clock Eastern Time with Steve Rhodes. He does a great job and I know you'll be quite pleased. At least I'm almost 99.99% sure that you'll be pleased. So that's it. Now, the other one that we looked at since we were talking about the folks in Australia is the Australian dollar. And one of the questions that they had is how did you ever know that bank robbery that occurred back on December the 24th was by the Japanese bank a major bottom. And all we did was we looked at the AB leg from way back on May the 29th. The C leg occurred, the B leg occurred on October the 11th. Then we rallied up and the ABCD moved to the downside, went to the exact low, which was at 0.68. And now of course we're trading at 0.71 quite a bit. And all I was doing was just showing these just simple patterns. You can see the three drive pattern in the middle. And this is a four hour chart. So you get to see quite a bit of it. And then you see the retracement and things like that. I was just giving them an idea of what some of these things were looking at. I couldn't do all of them, of course, because it was relatively short, but at least we were able to cover some. We had a few trades that we did during the day that was interesting during our period that I was doing it. So it was rather fun. And as a matter of fact, let's just look at this trade that we were watching. If you'll remember, early in the week, we were looking at this British pound. And, you know, we had a lot of targets up there at 1.3330. That was the 1.27 expansion. It is also a double ABCD pattern up in that area. So there should be some resistance up here at this 1.3330 level in the British pound. Now, as you can see from last night, you'll notice that this is where we completed the pattern. And it is now down, well, it's trading, you know, within a few pips of a high. But that pattern is now complete. And we should see some type of a correction. And since you have a double ABCD pattern there, the minimum correction you would have would be 150 points. So that's what we're looking at as far as that British pound. It looks quite interesting at that level. But whether, you know, like we say, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But that's neither here nor there. That's what you're watching when you're looking at some of these things. Now, I did want to share with you. Oh, by the way, 10-4, folks, just a second here. I'm going to get into live cattle in just a minute. Let's just do that right now. I'm going to post the chart for live cattle, but I've got a very, very, very special guest on Friday.

Okay folks, let's take a look at the live cattle. We're going to be looking at April cattle. That's the spot month and so it is being influenced by the cold weather that they've had there. It makes the cattle gain weight a lot less and it makes it more valuable. Let's just look at the technicals on this folks. I don't trade live cattle very often. I do trade it sometimes and I will trade it this time. But if you'll notice the ABCD pattern that started back on November the 12th, the BC swing was a 382 retracement. The AB equal CD leg measures the 1.618 expansion at 130, 160. That's up a penny and a half from where we are on closing on Friday. Let's try that again on Tuesday. And if you'll notice the secondary ABCD pattern that started on January the 7th, pulling down to the on the first of February, it also stopped at the 61% retracement that led to another ABCD expansion. Also at a 1.618 number up at that 131 and change also. So I will be definitely looking at this with a risk of about two cents a pound. That's about 800 and some dollars and cattle a little more than that a little about 890 I believe. But the profit potential on this is substantial because just the 382 retracement from the low that we made down at 118 would take you down to 126. So you're risking two points to make six. That's three to one risk-reward ratio, which makes it certainly very, very tempting. And the other thing is if we look at the timeframe in the ABCD swings from January, you'll know that you went from January 31st into January the 20th. Excuse me December 31st into January 31st one month. And here we are finishing the month at that same level now in the Kyle cattle. So this area 131 60 looks very, very interesting in the live cattle, April live cattle. It certainly does now the June is trading substantially below that because it's not going to be affected by the weather. So this is partly a weather market that we're looking at here. But boy, all the things are set up just about as nice as you can possibly see for a, you know, move to move to the downside. That's the that's the way that it's it appears to it by looking at these now. We have another one here that is very interesting folks and that is the this is the coffee. We looked at this early in the week. And if you'll notice here that we were watching the coffee to come down to around 97. I had the order in setting at 97 20. It closed about a half a cent but not quite a half a cent below that looking absolutely horrible. And then today the coffee gapped up two cents. It's trading almost at 99 now. And so what you'd want to do if you did that trade would be to move your stop to break even so that you don't have to risk anything at all. You would be in a risk-free situation and that's what you really try to do because we don't know what's going to happen with the coffee or anything. The fact that it's making this expansion here at this level is the the edge that you're looking at. So you don't want that edge to dissipate and that would happen if it starts going back down again. After a rally it's just another failure and you don't want to set through another failure. So you get out at break even and then try to look at it. I believe Steve Rhodes will cover some of that stuff that we're talking about right now about risk control on his webinar tonight at five o'clock. So I think it'd be a really great idea. Steve of course is the timer of the year for timers digest in I believe both stocks and bonds. And that's a terrific accolade for the feathers in his cap and he's got a bunch of them. So we want to keep that watching very, very closely as we walk through these different things that we're paying attention to. Now we did get a really interesting chart from our good friend Rich Anderson from one of the firms that he works with.  But he's doing it all for himself. He still maintains the commodity office with Tom, but he really doesn't go in much anymore. If we take a look here at this chart that they we got from RJ O'Brien. That's the firm that one of the firms that Rich goes through. You'll notice that this is the March soybeans on a daily basis. And as you can see here, it is making a rounding bottom.  And so this is a daily chart, but you see the higher bottoms that we had since September. This is a very positive thing and the grains have been under pressure. Not like the wheat, of course, but you'll notice that this pattern is, you know, a positive pattern. It's still moving to the upside. You can see the higher bottoms all the way through September and each of those is a Fibonacci retracement. The first comes in at the 61% retracement. That was the one in October, the November one, which is also a guardly comes in at the 78% level. The one that occurs in December here again right at the 78% level of the November low and exactly 61% from the October low. And if you make that a 135 pattern, you can see that's what's happened. It goes up. It pulls back one more time, you know, in mid January and there's another higher bottom and then we started to move up. And now what we're looking at is a potential breakout here in March beans. Now we're going to be at March beans tomorrow, Friday, excuse me. And believe me, that's not going to be where the breakout is going to occur. That's my two cents worth and you're overpaying if you pay that. But the one that you want to be watching are the July and the November July or the old crop beans in November will be the new crop beans. So we're following that quite a bit. So that's another one. Ah, someone's asking a question. How low can we go? I believe that $499 in the December week that we hit last night might just possibly be it. Now we did get a really interesting, really, really great chart from one of our folks up in Canada. And that is a it's a wheat corn spread. This is the difference between the price of wheat and the price of corn. This is a very, very important ratio that they look at. And if you bring this up, you'll be able to see that that wheat corn spread has made new lows. As you can see by the dotted lines that I drew in there, that's a beautiful butterfly pattern. And we're getting very, very close to what could be the final bottom. We did that spread actually turned into the positive after we drew this in. So there's a possibility that that wheat could start gaining some of its luster back. Believe me, folks, that people are not going to stop eating bread. Being an Italian, I can almost guarantee that one because it's very interesting that the price of wheat is down so very much. But it's still going to have some buyers, I'm sure of that. So we'll keep that in mind. We've got to pay a few bills here in just a moment and we get back. We're going to be talking about the Bitcoin because it's getting ready to have another leg up in my opinion. We'll take a look at that as we get ready to do the second session of today's show. And then we'll move on, you know, to some of the other things that we want to be watching specifically the stock market and also the gold market and the platinum market.

We've had some folks here that have an interest in it, and we want to make sure that they're as happy as all the wheat and corn and all the other folks. We'll take a look here. You'll notice here on the Bitcoin that we did make that beautiful guardlee down there at the 3350 level. And from that level, you're going to be able to see how well it is going to look. That is a 20-man line. That's basically where those lines connect and they come down and retouches. That acts as a fulcrum many times, but any move below 3700 would certainly negate this because it's been here for three days now. So it's either going to be great support right here or it is going to fail and fail badly. So keep that in mind that these patterns fail a lot. We already know that. So you've got to be able to pretend that you know what the heck you're doing, and that's an important factor here to look at. Let's take a quick look at the gold market. We've been talking about this for several days. We're now trading it around 1325. What we'd like to see is if we could get it down to the around 1292 level, that will be extremely important because that's a 78% level from the low in the middle of January. But even more important than that, it is the low, the 382 retracement of the low that we made back in November of last year. And that's a really key, key one to be watching. So pay very, very close attention to that. That's something that I think would be very, very interesting to look at. There's a big difference between the gold and the platinum. Platinum's up 10 days in a row. We're trading up at the 876 level. We've gone through the 1.618 expansion that was there at 874. So that tells us that the platinum still wants to go higher, even though it's 10 days in a row, it still wants to move higher. And I certainly wouldn't recommend anybody standing in front of that anymore because it certainly has given every indication that it does want to move to the higher ground. The crude oil. The crude oil looks very interesting, folks, because if we take a look at the hourly crude oil, and we're going to do that right now, is if we look at this hourly crude, you're going to be seeing the fact that we're sitting right at the 61% retracement of this move. And that could be a very interesting resistance up there at the 5680 level. The last is 5662. And we'll be able to see if that's going to be, you know, if that's going to be anything that's going to be any worth anything as far as a resistance. Right now, all you have is a couple small ABCD patterns in there to verify that there should be some resistance there at the fib number of 8675. But whether it's going to be longer term or not, you know, one does not know that. That's for sure. No question about that. That'll be a really be a very, very interesting one here to pay close attention to. But I think that gold, if it gets down to that 1292 level folks, boy, that's going to be really an interesting one because of all of the patterns that are there, you know, that are lining up, you know, so nicely. So we'll see if it's going to happen or not, but we'll just wait and see. I'll just give you an idea on this platinum here. We were watching this the other day and I wanted to bring this up to your attention here because the platinum, the 1.618 expansion on this came in at 870. We've now gone $5, $6, $7 above it, 877. That means it's most probably going to be heading up to way above the 880 level. The reason why is if you look at this closely in the platinum, a much more bullish chart than gold and silver, but you'll see the low that we made on August the 15th. We had the rally up into November. That's the AB leg. The C leg came down to the in December of this year at the 780 level. And if you measure the ABCD level, you're going to get just a tad above the 910 level and that's another $50. And we're already up 10 days in a row. We've made higher highs 10 days in a row. That itself is an outlier event. That usually means that you could be looking at it. But you're right, Duffy. The platinum is, I believe it's above 1500 now in the platinum. I don't even know what the platinum is used for, but it's probably one of these electronic deals, but that's also going. Maybe it's going to pull gold and silver and everything else up with it. But those are the ones that are that are really moving right now. And platinum has been lagging for a very long time. We made that beautiful ABCD to the downside in the platinum down there at that 870, excuse me, 782 level. And now we're trading, you know, 70 bucks above that. So palladium Duffy is telling us is used in catalytic converters. I guess that where they convert the dogs to cats. Is that what that means? I don't even know what that transgender stuff is. Let's take a quick look here at the old S&P 500. I want to get up here to give you a rough idea of what we're looking at here. You'll notice that the big ABCD pattern started back on February the 9th. The BC leg came in on the 15th of February. That was a 382 retracement. ABCD on that measure to 2814. The high was 2814.50. We're now trading around 2789 in that ballpark, I believe, with a lot of strong support there because of the 61% retracement. Anything below that sets up those levels much, much lower, which is 2750. That's the 1.27 expansion, the 50% retracement. But the one that would look the most interesting would be down about 50 handles down around 2734. You would be looking at a 61% retracement and a 1.618 expansion. That would be a very, very powerful number for sure. And you would be down $80 from your high, which is two times the harmonic number. So it would be pretty much spot on at that level if we get to it. But the key level from the beginning of this is to watch this level of 2775. We break below that, that's telling us that it's getting ready to go a lot lower. That's what it looks like as we watch these things unfold like this. Now, whether it's going to continue that way or not, we have to wait and see. But it's one step at a time with these, and that's what we're looking at. Let's just double check. We've got a little bit of a rally going. We're up around 2790 now in the mini S&P. So we'll see if that's going to mean very much or not. But we'll do one thing at a time as we look at some of these as always. And also the Euro. The Euro, I believe we were doing that quite easily at the $140. The 1.1410 was the 61% retracement on the Euro. We got very, very close to it last night, I believe. We got to 1.1403. Whether that's enough or not, we'll just have to wait and see if that's going to be the case. So those are just a few of the things that we're paying attention to this morning. But it's still a bit early. And we'll know soon enough when we look at some of these things in the future here, especially tomorrow, because tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. But don't forget Friday, folks. We're going to have John Cheverny. He was one of the original guys on the Squawk Box at Payne Webber. When Rich was just a kid, 22 years old. I was a guest on that Squawk Box several times just because I knew something about Fibonacci. And I'm talking about just a very small something is all I knew, 618. So we'll see. We'll be right back. If you are in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First Mortgage Program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to Bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year, or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First Mortgage Program would give you $3,500 per year, or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer, $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger First Mortgage Program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

I mean, my goodness, I mean, just look at any of them.  So these were the ones that took us to the dance. Whether they're going to continue to be that way, we'll have to wait and see, but they've certainly lost momentum. That's for sure. It's no longer a fang market. It's the broad market, and that's what we're looking at. Someone's asked the question about general electric, the fact that it's had this really strong movement here to the upside. And a lot of that, of course, is related to the selling of one of their subdivisions. And that's always an interesting thing to see happen because that means you're going to lose the earnings from that. So that's the key thing to pay attention about. Now, David White has posted some really nice pictures of the things that are going on in the market today. Looks like Weight Watchers is down about 36%, and a couple of these other companies that don't even know what they are. But in tandem, diabetes is up 29%. So there's a little bit for everybody, no matter what we're watching here today. Now, I wanted to mention the silver because we have not taken out that double top high that we've had in silver last week. We got as high as, I believe, 16 and change earlier in the week when the gold had a little bit of a rally and now it's selling off. It's only the platinum and palladium that are running today, and gold is not doing much. The gold still has a chance, folks, at that $12.92. That's only $37 away. And as you know, that gold market could make it very, very easily if it starts to the downside because it is still very, very overbought. There's no question about that. So those are just a few of the things that we're watching. Another one that we've been paying very close attention to, of course, is the live hog market. And I just wanted to bring that up to you to take a look at this of your June hogs because we did have a pretty good bottom off of the 78% level. And then the market came all the way back. It went up $0.05, came back $0.03. So it's still holding above the $0.7320 level. And now we're hearing reports from the fundamentalist about maybe the thing with the Chinese disease is not nearly as bad as they originally thought. Well, we don't know the answer to that, but that's the cannon fodder that's going out to tell us the news if that is in fact the case. But allow your charts to tell you whether the news is correct or not because there's no lying that goes on in the charts. It's a sum total of all the buyers and sellers and that's what you'd be watching. So pay very, very close attention to it. And I think you would be a whole lot better off by looking at that than just trying to figure out what these fundamentals are. Because those are the ones that are most difficult to understand is because there's so much stuff involved with fundamentals.  I'm just looking at the, I'm just a chartist, folks. I just look at the charts and try to get an idea or two whether this is going to be interesting or not. Someone's asking a question about the coffee. Folks, all I was looking at in the coffee and we talked about this earlier in the week, of course. Let me do the coffee first and then I want to get to the Christmas weed here because it's pretty much the same thing as the coffee. It looks like it's death's door, but we'll look at it here. Here you'll see the coffee is completed. The big ABCD pattern from last May. If you measure the ABCD leg and everything, it comes in in a few days. That will be equal, but your price is exactly at the 1.618 expansion. The whole range of December and it's also the 1.618 on the bigger term picture going way back into May of last year. You don't have to risk very much at this time. However, with the market gapping up like it did today in your favor, you want to put your stop at the breakeven point and let it rip because now you don't have to worry about it. Don't even look at it. Don't even bother to see what's happening with the cattle or the coffee or anything. Just forget it.  That way you don't have to worry about it going any lower. Believe me, this has been a really strong downtrend. Folks, this has been down almost the whole month of February. We've only got one more day here to complete the month. It's going to be a very interesting sign here as we look at some of these. Pay close attention to that one. It's going to be a real interesting one. Another one that the folks have talked about here that has a really good potential for what I think is a potential double bottom. We've already seen it already and that is in the, one second, let me get the chart up. It's the cotton the fluff. You'll see that it's made a double bottom from December to where we were in late January and we've had a pretty good rally backed off a little bit. But it's still holding its own. So all of those, we're starting to see some of it. Let me do the Christmas wheat here because I really like this one. This one has no friends at all, but it does have something that we like. And that is the 1.618 expansion. You notice I marked it twice, both in red. That came in at 4.99. The low was 4.97 and a half. We're not trading at roughly 504. So here again, that's one of the ones that I would say, okay, I'm just going to put my stop at the breakeven point and see how it all hangs out. Because that's all you really know.  As you can see, we've gone from 630 a bushel down to $5 a bushel. That's a $6500 move folks in wheat. And that's not an easy task. And some farmers back in South Dakota, North Dakota and other parts of that Upper Northwest are hurting very badly because of the price of wheat being so very, very low. And as a matter of fact, many of these folks are living in hotels because it's so bad the weather that they're literally the cars can't keep running because it just takes too much gasoline. They've got to stay in a hotel. That'll give them some shelter. And that's the way it is. I mean, that's how bad that market has been. Remember the natural gas. We talked about that, you know, for a potential bottom and this natural gas has just gone absolutely ballistic. I think we're up well over $4,000. Let's get this one up to take a look at it because you'll notice here we're trading above the 290 level now in natural gas. We were just trading at 250 just a few days ago. So it's rallied quite a bit. And just a 3-8-2 retracement on natural gas would take you all the way up to that $3,500 level. That's what it would be watching. So we'll be watching that very, very closely because it's got a potential for a huge move as does coffee. And it's just a potential here right now. You don't know whether it's going to be good or not. That's the $64 question. And that's all you really can do. So not to worry too much about it. That's the way it looks. Just pays your money and takes your choice. Watch that British pound, folks. We're setting right up here at this $133.30 level. That's the ABCD 1.27 expansion. Any move above $134, you know, you would certainly think that that would be wrong. And you do not want to see that happen even though it could happen very easily because that's just a shorter term timeframe. But there should be some very strong resistance in the cattle here at this $133.30 level, which is the double ABCD pattern and the 1.27 expansion of what we're looking at here. So let's kind of pay a close attention to that if we can. So this is it. We'll be right back at<PHONE_NUMBER>. We both know you've got what it takes to crush your goals with the will to make it happen. So why haven't you accomplished it yet? For most, the answer is fear.

TFNN.com Educating Investors Since 1984, Basel Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. While originally hand-drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basel noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basel found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence. Using the Chapman Wave methodology along with other indicators, Basel Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion each market day with his opening call newsletter.

We're going to take a look at the Treasury bond market. You'll notice here the cycle bottoms that we've had there that came in around that 145 level. Just absolutely perfectly. Perfect retracement showing the harmony that's there. We had a strong rally. You'll notice the importance of the 61% retracement on these Treasury bonds folks at the 14630 to 147 level. We've hit it three times. We could even do it again. We did pull back a little bit. We're moving back up above that level again. But we've not taken that out. If we can take that out above 147.05, that means you've got a shot at another point and a half higher if it's going to make the ABCD pattern. But right now, this is still a very bearish chart pattern longer term. This is something that you really need to look at. This is only a four-hour chart. If you look at the daily or the weekly, you can see the bearishness that is there in the Treasury bonds even though we've had a pretty good rally over the past eight or nine months. The overall pattern is extremely bearish with lower highs and lower lows. That's a basic definition of a downtrend. So keep that in mind. It'll be very interesting to see if it's going to continue in that direction. But that 147.06 in the Treasury bonds is something that should make for some interesting thing. We're trading it just below 146 right now. So we're a full handle away from that level. So sort of keep an eye on that. That's an interesting one to watch. Remember, we just missed that Euro 61% retracement at that 114.10. We only got as high as 114.03. We're now trading just a few pips, 20 pips under it. So it'll be interesting to see what's going on. One of the things you're talking about, of course, in the financial news is the fact that the President's ex-attorney is talking today and that could affect stock prices. It could affect it in either direction, folks. So get ready to rock and roll. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless. Hi, folks. Tom O'Brien here.

I'm really trying to be on it. Like these next three months are personal, okay? I know I'm always saying like, oh, I wanna work out. I'm always like, no. By the time December comes, I'm gonna be skinty. Okay? Just got back home, had some acai bowl, and then I had a little coffee and now it's time to take my vitamins. I love to take my vitamins with my meal or after a meal. I just hope the vitamins absorb better. And the vitamins I'm taking right now are care of vitamins. I've been taking care of vitamins for like six, seven months now. I've seen such a huge difference. Especially when I came back from traveling, I thought the jet lag would hit me. I thought I would be out for a couple days. No, no, I was literally up. And it really does make a huge difference in what you intake in your body. So I'm really just trying to stick to my routine so I can show up for myself every single day. And my care of vitamins help with that.  Everybody's body operates different. Everybody is working on something internally. They just launched their new line of products called Gut Must. And I have two of their products from that line.

And then I have the Digestive Enzymes, which is a blend of enzymes that help break down dairy, gluten, fiber. And Gut Health is so important because it's the foundational of all health. So make sure y'all are taking care of your Gut Health because it's so important. And I take the Digestive Enzymes with meals. And also with the CheerFlex, you can add this to anything. You can put it in your yogurts, acai bowls, smoothie, whatever you do. It tastes so delicious. This is beneficial to the Digestive System and also weight management, which we are trying to do over here. So love this. And I also add my collagen to my smoothie as well.

So, see y'all when we get there. You can do it. What's the thing? No, it wasn't. Do y'all like the crop? But I do have a hoodie on. So it's like, it's not even fitting me tight and my battery's dying. But I might just crop coffee. But, I'll see. We're at the best sister. So I have to spoil her, okay? So, I gave her a little budget cause she wants to get a new purse. And that's what we're doing. So, this is in a black on black hardware. I think this is nice. She said no. They don't have that. Do you like that though? I do, but I do want this. I feel like this is grown and sexy. Yeah. You make my mom. Yesterday, I didn't do nothing y'all. I didn't do nothing. I think my jet lag really caught up to me because, no, no, no. It was given laying in the bed all day. I was really vibing out. Not doing nothing. My sister wasn't at home. She had stuff to do. So I was really just vibing with my mom or whatever. And yeah, so that was yesterday. So today's Tuesday.  Got to do some important money moves, money things. And now I'm on my way to Chick-fil-A to give me something to eat. There's really nothing out here y'all. It's really a ghost town. Y'all can see all the trees in the background. I'm just like, I'm just so used to having things. I'm just used to having variety. And my mama lives like 30 minutes away from Milwaukee. So it's not like it's a big city. But yeah, I'm on my way to go get me something to eat. But y'all, once I go back home, my sister has motivated me. This girl wakes up at 6 a.m. to go to the gym. 6 a.m. to go to the gym. And she's in school and stuff.  I'm like, that's smart. But yeah, I'm just motivated. So when I get back home, baby, I'm getting into a routine. This is the season. This is like peel season.  Cause the quarter months are approaching and the time is now to get your ish together. I'm not going to wait until April when it's like, you know, time now. So I need to get back to a routine, y'all. I'm literally looking at my old trainers videos of me. And I'm just like, wow, like, working out with him. I was literally in the best shape, like, oh, so.  And you know, I'm getting older, y'all. So the pressure is getting what's up. The pressure is eating what's up. And I need to add this weight off of me. I am on a mission to lose 30 pounds. I told y'all this when I went to Texas, I need to go, I need to lose 30 pounds. Like, I can see it, I can feel it. And when I'm like, at my best self, I'm like, so, I just feel so good. I'm just ready to get back into my modes where I just feel so good. Like, and I can just keep going throughout the day. I'm just, I just feel good. And these past couple of weeks, like two weeks, my mental has been good. I've been really, like, motivated to do stuff, but it's just this weight, baby. Like, yeah, I'm happy, I'm happy and eating my frickin' life away. And I just, I just can't anymore. I gotta switch it up. I know I always come on here and be like, yeah, I'm good at going there, lifestyle change.   I'm not, I'm not slipping up. We're gonna get to it. Maybe we can do this together. So day one. Day one is when I get back home with my trainer. Ooh, I should get Rocky Rocco gold. Mm!  And then I'm just gonna, you know, bounce back. Should I get right? I'm just getting something to eat. And then I'm going back home and then chilling out. And then we're supposed to go to Taco Tuesday. And we're supposed to do Taco Tuesday and go see a movie. But they seen my mom and my sister already seen a good movie, so I don't know what we're gonna see. But yeah, and then I leave for tomorrow. So excited to get back home, getting into a routine. And I'm just really motivated to get into it. I was in a slump this morning, not gonna lie. Not gonna lie, but I got me a pumpkin cream cold brew. Trying to just transition. I'm not trying to be on low virations. See, I can't keep up with these motherfucking twins. That's low virations. See, I would never, I'm a queen. Just because they give you what's on your plate don't mean you have to take it. Okay, that is so funny. But anyways, but yeah, I'm on low virations right now until I get back to the A. Oh my God, it's raining. Low virations for today. I don't know who told you you could pop the squat on my leg. Y'all, I have to get this on. No, today? Not today, baby, okay?   Sorry, but you had to go.  Y'all, I done ran out of gas on the freaking highway. I forgot to put gas on the car. This is just insane. There's too many bugs out here. I don't know where these bugs are coming from. I'm just, I can't believe I forgot to put gas in the car. Y'all, I was so hungry. I'm just like, I couldn't think. I didn't eat all morning. I had that meeting call, no. And then I'm like, no, I need to go get something to eat. Like, I can feel myself getting hangry. And I just forgot. And I didn't even end up getting no food yet. So, but my sister's on her way. I hope that God, she was up and out because, yeah.  I'm wrong.  Work for me, and I want you, I don't hide. Nothing just to hear how they talk. Like before and now, she hear how they talk. You might be missed a track and flip, but I don't read through a mile. Yeah, I need to play the ball, just to watch how we ball. Give me head of fire cases. I ain't feel like they work for me, and I want you, I don't. A little, y'all have seen, I'm back working out with Bukul. So, he, me and my friends, like outside of working out, we're just friends.  So he invited me to go to Haunted House today. I was like, listen, I'm not a scary, like, I'm not scared. But I have this fear. Like one time I went to this Haunted House, it was in Illinois when I lived back in Wisconsin. Quick story time. And me and my friend, we were with these guys, and y'all, I don't know. They said that a guy we were with hit one of the workers, like on accident.  But as some Haunted Houses, they are able to touch you. I'm not sure which ones, but I don't go to those because I don't play that.  So, yeah, like he got in trouble. He got arrested and he said he didn't hit her, but he must have had a little reflex or something where he got a little scared and accidentally touched her. And she reported it. So, yeah, that was a whole fiasco. And I went to a Haunted House. When was the last time I been to a Haunted House? I think it was with Jasmine when I first, I didn't even live here yet. And it was here in Atlanta. It was like this big Halloween thing out here, but other than that, I haven't been. So, and I barely even dressed up for Halloween, but I'm gonna try to this year. I don't know, maybe Kim K or something. But I don't know. Comment down below what I should be for Halloween, but an awesome, a Kayla's coming with us because she knows Buko as well. So, I'm just putting on a little concealer so I look a little put together. I might wear some sunglasses, but yeah, I'm about to head out the door and I'll see y'all there, I guess. With my friends, friend one, friend two. What is this called? So, this was Buko's idea. I think this is what, Neverland's? You read it? What? Never, never, never, neverland? Where? Take it. Like off of Final Destination or something. The scene with the world's most scary. Good. I don't know, this was about popping. Yeah, it's popping. You chose something popping. You're welcome. Don't get scared. I'm trying now too. I don't have time. I don't have time. I think they have a fair in the back. Like, after we get done with this, they have like an amusement park, like a. Well, not an amusement, but like little activities. Yeah, I've seen a little screen. But okay, y'all, let's continue. How scared are you? One out of 10? 12. How scared are you? One out of 10? Zero. What?  Anyways. Hey man, stop saying you don't cry. All right, so. You wanna take a photo? Right now. Let's just say parking lot. No, here. How was it? This is gonna be the island. No, I don't think you're gonna get wet. She says she wet.  Yeah, it's nasty out here. Hey girl, I don't know when the last time we spoke, but I'm on my way to go get my hair done. I'm just getting another quick weave because like I told y'all before, I'm taking a break with the microlings. I just really, next month I'm gonna get braids. But this month I'm just gonna do like quick, a little cute styles. But yeah, so I'm on my way to go to Zelis. She was the one that did my quick weave for Paris. And she did such a good job, so I'm gonna side parts today. And also my hair is from Sun-Kiss Hair. They were nice enough to send me some bonos, but I can't wait to try them out. And I think they have tapings as well too, so. And it came with a gold comb. I didn't open the package up until today. So this is what it looks like. So I'm gonna see what these monos are giving, but yeah. And today is going to be a busy day y'all. I still gotta go get my nails done. Listen, this, having appointments, canceling me, we're scheduled. I'm just like, you know what? I need to figure out how to finesse this on my own in a house. I need to like practice press-ons. I need to practice on my own hair and just all this extra stuff. So maybe one day we'll make content out of that. But so today I have an event to go to with Amazon. They are showing love to all the black creators today. So that's what's going on, Ali is going. That's all I know who else got invited, but I can't wait to make some mingle and meet new people. And it's at Rocksteady and I've never been there before. So, but yeah, one of my hair done for that for show because first impression is everything, okay? And then also I love putting a face to people to who I'm talking to. Why is it so much traffic right now? It must be lunchtime. What is 12 o'clock? But yeah, that's the dealio today. But yeah, and we get our nails done at four o'clock. And I really, I've been in the inspirational, I've been in like the, what is it called? I've been in like the creative vibe. So I really want to do like funky, cute nails that I used to do. Like this set is going to be so different. Like I just really want like some funky, different nails right now. So yeah, I know it's Halloween. It kind of is like a dark, grungy type of vibe. So I'm like, you know, it's appropriate. It's Halloween season, so might as well. But yeah, I'm kind of running late. But yeah, I'll check in with y'all once we get there. Can't wait. Cause I haven't had my hair done in a minute. Space for content creators that look like you and look like me and my good friends. Yay. So if you have questions about Aunt, please come see me. Yes, we are home to Queen Radio. I mean, Nicki Minaj's Queen Radio. Joe Budden has a show with music lovers only. And Tinashe and Lil Yachty and the list goes on and on and on. But our mission and our purpose is to democratize waiting. What's up bitches? I haven't really been vlogging much since I've been back home, but got the hair done. I think I talked about it a little bit yesterday. The side part is a little too deep for me, but she's going to fix it Saturday. Just because it's really like in my face. And I really don't like that, but it's still cute. Don't get me wrong, it's still cute. I thought it would have been fine, but it's okay. I think it's just because of this hair right here. But anyways, I'm getting ready to go to the YouTube lab mixer. There was an event earlier, but I didn't go to that. It was too early and I stayed out late last night. And yeah, so I wasn't really in the mood to go to that. I was tired. I'm still kind of tired, but I'm still gonna go show face. I don't know if I'm gonna stay long. There's like an after-party and some more stuff. I don't know if I'm gonna go to. Probably not. Because I want to get up early tomorrow because there's a brunch tomorrow. And I just want to get up early, get real cute. And also I do want to get a picture in the morning before the brunch because I like to take my pictures before I eat. But obviously they're gonna have photo ops and stuff there, so yeah. And then also, what happened? And then also, yeah, I don't know. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. The Amazon event last night was so nice. It was very intimate. I got to meet some bomb creators, black creators, the ones that look just like me. And they were preaching that they just want to keep allowing doors to open or creators that look, you know, black, like me. So I love that. It was a good intimate event. I mean, so many people, so many just, it was just good. Like, it was lit, it was free liquor. The link, the drinks was flowing. For sure. Let me just put these out. This was my one. But yeah, girl, I had such a good time. And then obviously in great Atlanta fashion, we went to go get a hookah after. And then we, and then, yeah, we just went to go get a hookah after and it was just such a good time. So I'm not trying to have it run to tonight because like I said, I do have to get up early tomorrow. So that's what I'm getting ready for. I really don't know what I want to wear, but it's cold. Excuse that. Just gonna see. Nice. Can I eat properly? Thank you. But yeah, I'm just about to do my makeup really fast and then head over there. So I'm pretty excited to take y'all along with me. This is gonna be my first YouTube Black experience. I've always seen YouTube Black ever since I started YouTube Black. I remember Queen Najib was there. Deer also met her last night. Well, I've met her before, but yeah, she was there last night. Super sweet. And yeah, I can't wait to just experience for myself being a content creator. But yeah, I'm just super excited. So let me hurry up and do my makeup and we'll be on. So anyway, I have on, this is my outfit for today. It's just a brunt, so I just got on these green pants. This white sweatshirt, this gray bag. And then yeah, I really didn't want to do too much. I didn't feel like wearing heels. I'm not in the mood. So, but yeah, the brunt is at the Atrium, which is at the Pond City Market. So yeah, but this is the fit. So I'm just gonna head over there now and then yeah. So I'll see y'all when I get there. And I didn't attend any of the YouTube Black stuff. I feel so bad, but today we're gonna get all the content. So yeah, let's just get over there. Get over there, girl. I actually didn't even get a chance to go over to the Creator Diaries brunch for YouTube Black because of an emergency, but yeah. My YouTube Black experience was obviously a fail and it was just due to me. For the YouTube mixer, my homegirl from YouTube did try to get me in, which was her event. But due to security reasons at the Google offices of Atlanta, they had a cutoff time for that and we did not know that. So I wasn't really tripping, but yeah, my YouTube Black was a fail only due to my own actions, but it's okay. I'm just gonna keep pushing.  So yeah, that's what happened. So, but yeah, I appreciate YouTube Black for inviting me. I love everything that they stand for. So yeah, that's what happened. So we're just gonna keep pushing forward. But yeah, let's get back to the vlog. So today, it's kinda gonna be like a day in life, but girl, I don't know why in my house I don't feel like it's far. It's not giving me fall vibes. It's not getting me in the, you know, fall spooky mood that she's supposed to feel. You know what I'm saying? The only thing that's making me feel like fall is when I come outside. But we all know I spend most of my time in my crib. So, so today I really just wanna, I have a lot of errands to run, first of all. So I was like, let me just pick up some home decor so I can put it in my house. I'm more like that branch vibe. I have branches in the corner of my living room, but it was just like a tester, but it just ended up being there.  So yeah, we're on our way to the mall now. I have to pick up some stuff from Sephora. I wanna get some new pajamas. Like, come on, cozy season, let's get into it. And yeah, my fall outfit today is giving me very much fall. I have on this trench coat. I have on this trench coat. It's super cute. It's from Zara. It's from their sustainable line, which is good quality for the price. So, and my nails are black right now. But I really want to get like a funky set. So I wasn't able to go to my original nail tech, but hopefully I can tomorrow. Wait, he's supposed to be letting me know. I gotta text him. But yeah, so we just have a lot of errands to run in. I'm just trying to get into that fall mood. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, I'm meeting my friend at the mall now. I should not be going up here. Like, I'm not buying nothing that doesn't, you know, get on me right now. So, yeah, but I do want some boots. I really been wanting some like knee high boots, only up to my knee. And then I'll probably come around and get the thigh highs cause I'm a little thick, so it's a little hoard to find a good thigh high. But yeah, so. But I have the, what's this called? I have the sunroof open cause I just want to feel that crispy air cause I was in the house all morning. So yeah, but anyways, we got our way there. So I'll check in with y'all once we get to our destination. So I'll check in with y'all later. So y'all, we made it to the mall. This thing got me up in here. But I've been wanting this coat for so long and they're giving out gift cards today. So. You need this.  You need this, you need this. Y'all, don't get a bestie in fashion cause they're gonna be like, you need this, you need this. Yeah, so I'm gonna try this coat on. He's seeing if, that's a medium called this. I think it's a medium today. Use it to 40 years and just start on a patients one. I'm not your hand, okay, hand here, over here. I'm not a hanger. I'm not a hanger. I'm not a coat rat. Want me to hold it? Yeah.  Let me see it. No. Right there, straight ahead. Would you choose one or size up? Yeah. Like two. One would be fine. I have the order. I have to get a one that size up. So we're at sex and we're in the shoe department. They really didn't have, they didn't have my size in that coat but I'm gonna stay on the lookout. But I'm trying to find some knee-high boots and they have these Bottega ones. They're a little different. They're around so, like a square but round. I don't know how to explain that. But it's not a narrow, it's not a narrow foot. So they may work out for me but the only struggle is my cab for those Bottega boots. I do like them cause that's something I do. Anyways, I'm waiting for them to get my size, hopefully. So, we'll see.  I'm excited to go to Target. I haven't been to Target in minutes. So I'm in Sephora right now. I had to come reach up. I kinda wanna smell this scalp and body scrub. Y'all, they play music so I gotta make it quick but this is my favorite body scrub. I use everything on there. Y'all, I'm with Lia. Wait, hold on. Let's do 360 here. Show them the face. No nails, not done until Monday. It's okay, it's okay. But the face is giving hairs, giving outfit is giving me. Every day. Don't play with her. And y'all, she works for Shiley so she can help me with anything. Okay, she said, absolutely not. Anything else? Anything, Shiley? I got you, but anything else? Is this not? Y'all, I was looking for the red beauty lip liner. But anyways, we gotta go. Okay. White box. So I'm here with my bae. She looks so cute. Y'all, I'm gonna order girls today in Sephora, period. She was like, I look them as no good. She looks so good. Periods, outfit of the day. Don't play with her. Sure, white box. Side part, give me. So y'all, I just left Sephora. I made order girls. Now I'm about to go for, Victoria's Secret. Oh, they put them on my blouse. Y'all just do it. Later. People are searing. Specifically, but these branches, I have. Hi, thank you. But yeah, I think I want something like this on my table with a branch. Okay, let me figure this out. I got, this is so descent vibes in my house. So, Glade, y'all. Glade, y'all are sleep on Glade. Febreze, UI, but Glade. There's a scent that I have in my house. When I walk into my house, it smells so good. It's fall into the woods, but it's not at this target. So I guess I gotta stick to this Febreze word, scent. And then also, I'm gonna try this amber. But I wish they had that in the woods. I might go to another target. It smells that good. So I need to go see if I don't have one. But, is it, is it? So, I wanted to show y'all how the branches and the pot looks. I think it looks so cute. It's giving me very, like, ball, minimal vibes in my house. Let me know if I should take away some branches or just let it be the two. Let me show y'all with just the two branches I bought from Print & Barrel. And then, yeah, so one second. And this is how it would look with just the two branches. So, let me know. I kinda like it with the whole group. But let me know what you guys think. And also, for that scent I was looking for, for the plugins for Glade. It's actually called a fall night long.  And I have one right by my door. So when I come in, it just smells so good. And I also picked up this candle when I was at Sephora. And I'll have everything late. So, that is it for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed. Do not forget to like, comment, and subscribe. I'm not showing myself right now because I don't feel like being on camera. But I will see y'all in the next video. But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed and I love you so much.


Hi. Thanks to attend this presentation. And thanks in advance to hold my bad English. I'm trying to do the best, but if you do not understand something, please do not hesitate to write a line and to ask me again. And I try to repeat in another language if it's possible. Okay, then. This presentation is more about a reflection. It's a reflection based on our experience using different tools to create environments for our students. Some years ago, I began to build these environments. Brian suggests me some of the variations. Some how useful was this kind of approach. And we, Manuel Marco, I mean, start to research about how to build a more complex environment for our students. And what are the benefits of the different parts of those tools of the environment we are using. Then, our start point is an assumption that what to say will improve the learning. This is a thing we believe on, but the problem is why, how, where, in what sense. Because, well, we always question ourselves, we always question our work. And we don't feel comfortable, we don't know exactly the mechanism that occurs in our classroom, and why they, why our students have, they will use and hope that we use our robots. Then, there are some assumptions included in the previous phrase, the previous sentence I write. The first one, sorry, is that Internet had conversations. But it is an assumption derived from the new sense that Web 2.0 has adopted. But I'm pretty sure that Internet serves to communicate with each other. The question is that Internet is a very big loudspeaker, of course. We can't say whatever we want, very high, very, a lot of, for other people, we think that when we publish a thing, a phrase or a sentence in the Internet, everybody at work will read it. But it is not a conversation. It is only a monologue. This is only one thing, one cry, and probably in the desert of the crowd. Then Internet is only a conversation if it is an appealing conversation. Then there is the second assumption Web 2.0 has success because of our appealing conversations. Then we will use in education and we will produce an appealing education. The question is sure. The problem with this is that how we use Web 2.0 proposals in our classrooms. It was our first way of doing things. First, we built, we noticed that there are social dynamics around us that produce the need for the people to chat, to converse, to help each other. About this social dynamic, we developed some technologies that make possible to reach more people or to reach the people exactly you need or you want to access. And finally, those technologies are converted in products, in technologies, in applications. We know, for example, that the social Web supports like Facebook, Google, Twitter and so on. And then, as a teacher, we use these applications. We implement the application in our classrooms trying to see what happened with these tools when our students used these tools. And make some adaptations, no, there are only little modifications because it is not possible to modify applications like Facebook or Google or even Twitter. We only make some little adaptations, cosmetic adaptations, trying to produce a new learning environment. But this is not the way that the things happened. Probably the real approach and in our experience, we have tested that it is how the things happened. If we study how the social dynamic develops, how the social dynamic improves, then we can establish some parallelism with our learning dynamics. Then, about these learning dynamics, we can focus our technical adaptations. We propose how the tools had to be built. And finally, it is possible to find whole applications like the general applications like Facebook, Google and so on. New applications specifically developed for educational work can support this learning dynamic. But the more important is, sorry, that the social dynamic produced learning dynamics, not the use of the technology. The question is that we need to ask the question ourselves about how people speak each other, how our students speak each other, how our students help each other, how our students learn from each other, how our students teach each other. And teaching and learning is a question that it is an individual thing because it is your brain, the subject, the object who is learning. But it is a social product because somebody has built the content, the topic or somebody is talking, is chatting with the contents that you are learning. Then, there are some phenomena, some products around this world. For example, the film movement, open course, open content that are focusing on this kind of map. But specifically, in data science has appeared a new phenomena we are very interested on. It is the personal learning environment. A personal learning environment is about how people search. A personal learning environment has to be built by the learner, not by the teacher because it is about how people, how user is searching, how user is using information, how the people is arranging information, or how the people communicate each other. Definitively, it is a learning to build, a parent or to build the possibility to establish the possibility to build a personal learning environment is about how people are learning. Then, personal learning environment, our concept is to use first a cloud of content around you because you probably find some tools, some mechanisms, some information that completes that you are learning. Or simply, those information, those topics you find around you are of your interest, specifically of your interest. But a teacher can be part of this cloud by building a system, an open system, if in the sense that the PL can access, in the same way they access to the cloud around the student, in the same way the student access to the cloud is the same way that the student needs to access the information that the teacher produce. And then, this is exactly that we propose. For example, a teacher can build a cloud of different channels, of different ways to access information. Or the open, for example, a teacher can hold a block, can use Twitter to say or to confuse the tension on something, can use multimedia streams like podcasting, like video channels in YouTube, like share, for example, or can use more collaborative, more specific collaborative environments like Google Docks or similar. Let me explain this. Or even make a sort of e-portfolio using the charging channels, for example, from Dropbox. And a wiki, because this is a very well, very easy to use content management system. And this specifically is very interesting, a question and answer system. This is an application you can install to all of your students to make questions each other. The question is that precisely this one corresponds one dynamic in our classroom. We probably don't notice when we are exactly in this position in front of the class, because we call our students and they will say they need to shut up if the teacher is speaking. But when the student, the teacher shut up because the classroom is over, they began to chat each other. They began to question, what did he say? Do you understand this topic? They questioned each other. This is a dynamic that exists in our classroom. Let me show you what happened when we installed all of these things in our classroom and installed this new feature. Then the teacher came in a mashup. Two years ago, prior, I showed you my mashup, I was comfortable with the idea that the mashup was the entry point for my students. But it is not. This is only to show what hope I have arranged all the things. But the students using their specific tools, personal tools the student has chosen, has skills to use, so they can access directly. This is only what to show off. This is all the things I have done. This is a showcase to say, this is my system in this part, you can find this kind of topics in that part, you can find another. But the mashup is only a showcase. Eventually, I have removed the mashup from my system. And now I use the front page of my wiki for the mashup. And my students find everything because it is very clear how to use the different points, the different parts of it. Actually, they are using because they are embedding in his Facebook page, the video, they have to know how to transport information between those systems. It is very easy for them. And then my personal open information system, how it is built. Well, it is based on this real case. I have officially 390 students in a course with this monogamy, we teach in cold new technologies for education. In Castilian, there are new technologies for education. We use this website to show the students the front page, the wiki with the front page, all the resources they can use to follow our course. And then I use the wiki as a front end. I use a software called Wiki. It is very easy to use for me, for students also. But it is very, very, very easy to keep updated because there is a new version and you know if you publish something in a wiki it is very important to keep yourself from the trolls and so on, you need to take care of it. And then the wiki is very easy to handle in the sense. And it has a feature I found very interesting. I'm not sure about fully open my wiki. Actually my students can write in the wiki. We can write in the wiki, but not probably from outside. My classroom can write. They only can read. And also handle the permissions. Although this is very easy to implement in the local wiki software. Also, the wiki has a lot of plugins like media wiki. You can install to make different things, to produce PDF, to produce tables and what is very easy to use, definitely. And then I use my wiki. I used to write a blog, but I noticed that to hold a blog was a very hard thing, a very hard job. Then I removed my previously blogger blog and I installed a plugin in my wiki to let me write the blog exactly in the way I used. Only to say a rare, only to say announcements and only to communicate things, findings I do during my education period. Then I use a YouTube channel. I use, as I share channel in YouTube and as I share, I allow my students to put their productions too. Not only is open content for me, it's open content for my students. I use a delizios, all the delizios are going, it was an interesting because the delizios was in Nigeria some months ago. But anyway, I continue to produce delizios. It's a really good thing. I use a podcast generator called OpenTape. It is a very, very fun piece of software I installed in my server to support the podcasting system for my records or my classes, my teaching classes. And the question-to-answer software. This question-to-answer is very, very, very interesting. The name is this one. The question-to-answer is a free software you can install in the system and you can use to motivate your students to have conversations between them. You will see it in function. Then, also I need to use some information from the LMS from my university. What information is I use from the LMS from my university? Information I cannot offer in public because privacy and questions about it. In Spain, the regulation about data protection is very strong. And then we need to protect some data from our students by keeping in a closed environment called virtual campus in the Alicante University. Here, there is the closed information. All of these things are open. And how communicate, how we communicate the different things, each other, using LSS. This is another thing, the power of the LSS is another thing that Brian showed me. The power of the LSS is great because you can't transport a lot of information. It's not so simple as they say. You can't transport a lot of information between those systems. This is a screenshot of my weekly. It is exactly at the moment we finish last course. Next course will start on February. It lasts from February to January. And then this is the last course in the vlog and beverage in the week. As you can see, the look and feel of the week is very similar to the week period because this is a template I put in my top week because I thought that my students are well-familiar with Wikipedia too. And then I want to be different of the things they are using. Then, for example, this is the administration panel of the wiki page. This is very easy to grade the wiki just with your say yes, yes, yes, yes and everything is wrong. And maybe I can add some features using this link. It is very, very easy to use. Well, my students in my classroom needs to present their jobs. During a period of time, they make some research about a topic and then I propose them to present the job to the rest of the group. And previously and after presenting their jobs, they publish in the wiki the complementary material, the documents, the power points they are using, the biography they are sold. And then after finishing their presentation, the rest of the group can take another look, another different look to the short presentation the student has done. This is because the presentation has a limit of time. It's a brief period of time. And students, believe it or not, are not very familiar with the idea of speaking in public. And then probably they are very nervous. Their material usually is a little bit more quality than the presentation. But anyway, my students can't consult the presentations of their fellows in the classroom. This is the names of the people, the data they present, the topic, and so on. If they choose not to put their material, the link remains in the right stage. This is like an alert thing for me for evaluation problems. Second, this is for example one of the presentations of my students. They make a main page with links with the different parts of the presentations. And my students, for example, they take notes during my explanation or during the explanation of their fellows, the rest of the class. I propose them to publish in the wiki the hand notes they are taking. Some of them use the wiki during the class using their computer, their laptops, by updating at the moment that they are looking at class, they are learning at class. Some of them take by handwriting the notes and then after the class they copy to the wiki anyway. The wiki is very... If they learn how to stick to the different parts of their hand notes, the wiki makes a very well indexed of the presentation. And after it, this is not a feature this wiki has, but I have implemented the new version of it. After it, they can even press on a button here in print and they produce a PDF very well formed. They can store or they can use for other things, I don't know. This is the video channel, the YouTube channel I use with some presentation from me and some presentation from the students and the students have used during their expositions at class. This is the slide share, you know well. This is the podcast generator, this open tape software. I told you this is a very little piece of software but very well built because you upload your different MP3 and then it shows the different feeds in RSS, you can't upload to connect with it and even if it has a player embedded to play or to her teaching class. And this is the question and answer software, the most interesting thing. Well, the question and answer software is I only prepare the software by writing the different classification the different topics the students need to explain a class. But after it they register by hands-off and they began to make questions about those topics. And then for example, this is a question, do you know there is enough TV offer of educational programs for childs? There are ten answers to this question. What? I have three, there are 389 students officially but 30% of them are not active. They are not at class. I don't know why exactly but they enroll because it's very cheap for them to do this but they never appear at a class. But then with this, my active students, 48 of them have published their hand-off. I have at present 48 views of what happened at the same time at class. It's very curious to compare the different points of views like the seven stabilized picture. I have 100 of them registered in the question and answer system. And 79 are very active. There are 350 questions and 1,149 answers in one and a half months. This is what happened because the question and answer system was installed in the middle of the course, not at the very beginning. And then in one and a half months accused the most important thing. They began to chat with each other. They began to help each other because they had to say something. My weak experience was not the same. They used the weak and I thought that they will use the weak to copy each other and to see what, for example, if I have not attended a class maybe I use another page of the fellow weak to understand what happened. But they don't use the weak to do this. Why? My assumption is they reply in the weekend what happened at class. All is like here.  They are not confronted. They speak with the teacher although they are very, very narrow between them but they don't speak with them at class time. They only speak with the teacher and they write the wiki for me not for them. Second, the weblog I told you I don't use a weblog because my lack of perseverance is let me know to write at the pace I need at the rate I need my students in debt. I embedded the blog in the wiki for alerts or advertisements and so on. Using the question and answer system, yes. But why? Using different social networks it is not possible in Spain. They don't use well, most of them don't use Facebook. They use a specific social network called 20 in Spain. It's like in Spanish it's like the number 20 but it is not right in the same way. But in 20 teacher is an intruder. They don't want to have a friend called teacher. They want not. The teacher is not supported in 20. He's not supported in Facebook. Then it is better to create a specific social network if you need this kind of tool. The question and answer was great. Why? Because the social dynamic exists at class. They speak each other. They speak each other even during tests if I know. But the question is that this happened at class. Then it happened in the virtual world. But of course as the real world there are lot of differences between them. There are students who are very, very active. There are students more observers, more monitoring. So my conclusions. First, try to find the learning dynamics and try to reply them trying to find the current tool. The good news there are tons of free tools to do this. There are lots of them. Look specifically when you try to select the current tool. Try to find exactly the tool that provides you the better simplification features because the students need to access the information you store them. Then you are creating an open information system. You can mash up in different ways but your students will mash up in the better ways they need. And of course always look at the open side of the life. Open is good because it responsibility is your students about what they are doing. They can't do anything easily because everybody is looking. Thank you. We have time for questions. We have right now scheduled the 15 minutes break. So next session will start in 15 minutes. But I officially cannot ask anybody to stay so if you'd like to ask an official question. I am just here. If you need more information about what we are using please don't hesitate to call me and I will try to answer you.


So wearing masks is not authentic, but I understand why we do it. I have done it. You may be doing it, and I'm saying to you, don't tell anybody, just experiment with not having a mask today, and really showing up as who you want to be. And see how that sits with you. See how you feel. And experiment with it, because we want you to move away from the need of a mask to coming out from behind the mask and being who you really are on the planet to be. That's the you we want to see.
