I have a serious question for today's Wheel of Mutt. Why won't Sidney Sweeney let me take one? Wait, no, that's not it. Although, why does no one want the smoke? Are Hawaii servers like soft or something? In last Wheel of Mutt, we played two games against two really great teams. Both of them quit. Now listen guys, I get it, okay, I've been there.  And I don't last very long. Sometimes I don't even last eight seconds. But for back to back guys to come that quickly. What the? And not last more than a minute or two? My goal today is to find a guy who's gonna come and last a little bit longer than two minutes. Is that so much to ask? Now that being said, there are good things that came of it. We were able to easily lock in some good players last episode, Andrew Whitworth, with Secure Protector, the 97 overall, Amari Cooper, and we got Combine, Corner, Bo Jackson, actually on the team now. Honestly, defense is absurdly good. I doubt I'll be messing with defense. Don't forget, Chamari Connor is right now in my nickel corner. That is not good. Any nickel set that takes my linebackers out is subbing in Chamari Connor. We have to replace him. Offensively, I'd love to get Russ Grimm out of there. I still technically could get a Secure Protector at center, and I really could get Amari. I know we just added Amari Cooper, but I really could get Amari Cooper out of there too. My goal is have a 97 overall walking into the Super Bowl. This would be a nasty team. Honestly, I gotta thank all the Rage Quits. The Rage Quits and the Challenge Wheels have built this 96 overall team. I was in the wheel spins too. And it was, ooh, this one's a risky one, but I really like it. The full auction house, top 24. We don't put in any filters. We simply sort the auction house by time remaining, but it's the top 24. So the top 24 is the first four rows. We're gonna sort by time remaining. We can take any player out of these 24. Terry Bradshaw, Darno Savage, Warren Sack.  Johnathan Hage, get Jason Kelsey! Okay, I know the auction ended, but you saw exactly what I saw. There's 97 Vernon Davis, 94 Sanders, Nick Cross, Tyler Bass, Hubbard, Barber. There's no way, oh, gold 99 Carmichael. They're both Philadelphia Eagles too. Wait a minute. No, don't make me make this choice. Don't make me make this choice, bro. Those are the only two positions I need and they're gonna get me in both. It's a good problem to have. Gold 99 Carmichael is a 98 speed, six foot eight wide receiver, the undisputed best wide receiver in this game. That's all cute and fancy, but Jason Kelsey is the undisputed most expensive card in this game because he's a gold 99 tribute with insane ability stacks. You guys were so mad at me when I passed on him for Aaron Donald. I have to go Jason Kelsey. This is a gross overpay, but he's the only one on the auction house, 3.3 million. Honestly, I got a lot of shit when I took gold 99 Aaron Donald over Jason Kelsey, but now we have both gold 99 career tribute cards on his team. His abilities are so nuts. Hilariously, he actually gets Vanguard. Vanguard is like my favorite ability in this game, but it's three AP. It's not worth that. It's not worth three AP. He also has identifier, lynchpin and all day, as well as secure protector post up. He really is everything I wanted. So free secure protector and free identifier. I do love a free identifier. He also has a tribute chemistry. You could boost left guard and right guard with run block, pass block. As much as I like running the ball, I definitely call more pass plays than run plays, right? The art is incredible. That just drained me down to a six digit income. Oh my God. That's what you poor people feel like. When is the welfare guy come through my door? Josh Meyers, I love you, buddy. You're not Jason Kelsey. I have the dream center, Jason Kelsey secure protector identifier. It's everything you've ever wanted. We can now run the ball at the middle even against inside stuff. We can also run to the right side against no outsiders. Trent Williams will still get bodied by no outsiders, unfortunately. Well, I hope this wheel spin doesn't give us a gold 99 something for Roke. I'll find a way.  Okay, like if I need it. Vision Dynasty choice. This promo has 96 overalls in it. I'd probably have to go all on here if they have something. That or I take the backup. I do need the backup in the defense. So there is like a, there's a 96 Joe Tooney. Do I put him in for Josh Meyers? But then there's like a Taryn Johnson. Ooh, a Fade To Melifon Woo. I actually would like this. Six, three, 96. Yep, say no more. No, no, no, no. You just decided it. All right, this team has desperately needed a backup.   A Fade To Melifon Woo, 96 speed, 96, 96, 96, 63. Being 63 gets me excited. See if he has a nice free ability. Oh, a Fade To, you're too nice, free pick artist. You're too kind. Melifon Woo is gonna be a good user too at six foot three. So now our safeties are Melifon Woo, Fitzpatrick, and Derwin. And we've got a third and final wheel spin. I really wouldn't hate the shore up left guard or right tackle with somebody more, more beautiful. As I'm recording this three store packs, there's two gold 99 real deal limits in the store. So I have to go for that with this. This wheel spin really doesn't do me much, but basically we're just limited hunting. If I can get Heinz Ward or Howie Long, that would be absolutely insane. So I do know this animation. That animation is the standard ones. So I think we can skip when we see that animation that would virtually guarantee it's not a limited. I assume the limits in this is the same animation as all limits, the Tokyo Drift, so that's not a limited, presumably. The boss again, Gronk again. Okay, there's a mirror pack to the last one. And this real deals pack, 89 buzz, literally another mirror pack.  I think I'm preaching to the choir here. All right, I'll wash on the store packs, but yeah, this team's insane. So I can't say I'm too affected by it. Still rocking the 96 overall, we're a record of four and two and this team is absolutely nuts. Lion season has been a blast. Let's top it off with a big W right here. Take us into the playoffs and let's go get another Super Bowl ring. Of course, we have the challenge. We all can't forget about that. Our challenge on today's episode, let's give you zero turnovers. I feel like even though I'm playing well, I don't think I've had a zero turnover game. Maybe I did. So no fumbles, no interceptions, and we complete our challenge. Gold 99 Tiki, gold nine. Oh, why is Jason? Did I forget to activate his abilities? Shit! Michael Orvin, Trayvon thinks Carmichael is a Cowboys team team. We're in AT&T stadium. This is like the Lions kryptonite. Please tell me I remember to activate Kelsey's abilities. Ah! No! I don't know that for a fact yet. Let's all, everybody settle down. We don't know that for sure. Maybe he just wasn't on the top three for some reason. Honestly, I'm pretty sure they just don't put Olimon on the top three. I'm gonna pray that that's what it was. First in 10, Troy Aikman with his X-Factor lit up. Oh, and he's gonna throw. Shit! I forgot about this. That Michael Irvin has a unstoppable double me, right? He has something ridiculous. Like, oh no, he has a charge-up double me. He has a charge-up double me.  He rightfuls one there to Tony Chippen. I don't know how that missed. Oh God, team of the Year CD lamb. Unstoppable double me, Michael Irvin, and Carmichael. This is sketchy. Oh, I'm on Miles Garrett. I'm not supposed to be, but it doesn't matter. I thought we were gonna lurk that. That's the Carmichael we just left for Jason Kelsey, too. He doesn't have 83. So normally that's a bad throw, but not with Irvin. He'll catch it every time. First in 10, I don't see anything open. That's, I see something open, guys. Look at the selly. We gotta get it together here, boys. This is gonna be a tough game. This is a classic example, gentlemen.  Jason Kelsey is on my kick return team.  Is that caught? Good work, Gronk. I wonder, was that middle linebacker Gronk or 98 tight end Gronk?  All right, so we can't, oh, look at that. Jason Kelsey. I did activate his abilities. Jason Kelsey, Secure Protector Identifier. So I guess he just doesn't make the top. Fine by me. We can actually run the ball. Ooh, and Tiki's gonna break through Micah somehow. Sam Laporta with an absolutely spectacular whip route, and that's an under pressure on balance. That was one of the first times I've seen Warren Moon truly throw a bad ball. Third and eight. Oh, man, coverage, but he's frozen. Was he not ready? Oh, that was huge. Yo, this throw, I mean that. I was bagged. That was man-covered, so I was fully bagged on that. But now his responsibility is Laporta. I'm sorry, this is his packing plate. Yup, look at that. Great work. Bro, this has gotta be him.   Bro, this gotta be him. Oh, I hear him talking on the mic. I hear him on the mic. Geo, I can't respond, but I hope you see the video, bro. Thanks for a great game so far. That's Secure Protector, Jason Kelsey. There's no way you can run that football against that activated D-Lignment unless you have that, Jason. Look at that, man. Great run and great vision. Now what I gotta do is stop Mink if it's Patrick somehow.  Some very interceptable footballs. Derwent James, you're great. Okay, wait a minute, I'm still up. I'm still up. Derwent James averages an interception. By the way, that's the opposite of a commentator jinx. I spoke it into existence. He knows what this is.  Oh no, I'm going back to the RPL. He can't guard this. What?  Dude, he handed it off and then he did the throw animation. Oh, that was such a money RPL. Might actually, might actually be man so that I can go. Oh, no. No. Intercepted by Ed, two tall Jones. I saw him on the D-Lignment. I thought he was rushing. Nice play. Oh, now it's getting sketchy. This is an RPL. This is a stretch alert bubble. Oh, just kidding.  I just lost my challenge wheel. I had no turnovers on that challenge wheel. It's a weird formation. You don't see a lot. Oh, nice play. Not sure what he goes with here. Maybe an actual run plan. This might be a stretch. Okay, a dive. Oh, play action. Tries to get it to his half back. Can't get it in. Third and six. He has half back sword. Mine! Oh, I didn't think he'd get that to me. Yo, they gave him a leader with two tall. Fourth and six though. Great stop. I don't really have any good formation of blitz out of. Nickel two, four mid blitz. I wish I could have stayed on my feet for that. I could have housed that. Absolute monster stop right there. That was an insane user play. We were in an all out blitz. My man coverage option was the half back. He went with a wheel route. Honestly, that would have been bagged either way because look at Sir Tan rocking right there. I don't know that he catches that. Let's look at his defensive abilities. Can he stop this? Slads, oh no, he can't. Honestly, like what's sad about abilities in Madden is running the ball has been boiled down to what abilities you have. Like, it's obviously really important for passing two, but you know, if a guy's open, you can still hit him whether you got abilities or not. Money route to Justin Jefferson breaks the tackle. Don't fumble, buddy. First and 10, honestly, we just score as fast as we can because if he's gonna score again, we need time. I can't use the entire clock here as much as I would like to because we get ball of half. Just kidding.  What did he do? Did he run come in middle? I don't know what happened there but half back strategy, Barbara, it takes us into the end zone. Let's see the team Selly. Pump it up. Little Tom Brady. Little Tom Brady deflate gate. Too much air in this ball, guys.  What was that Selly?  We need more practice time on the celebrations gentlemen, but 14 to seven. Way to fight back. We turned that ball over in the red zone. We easily could have given up a touchdown in that drive but we locked in. He's in trio sky zone in a pistol. What is this? Sorry, I'm in trio sky zone. That was a pistol set we just saw. Emmett Smith powers forward. Emmett Smith's abilities activated. So is, oh, double me's activated right now. I don't know if I trust peanut over there. I'm scared. Oh, mine. What a ball. That was such a good ball. That was such a good ball. I was gonna lurk that if he didn't lead it behind him. Another run play? Maybe something inside? I'm scared of Irvin. Okay. It is another run play but he runs this very poorly. Look at this. This could be, this literally could be triple option. He's in pistol full house. Wow. Goes Carmichael. Nice pass. First intense still in pistol full house. I'm gonna send a blitz this time. I'm going with Ray. I can't give him time to set this up. Ray, Ray. No, I missed. Nice tackle.  But Ray Lewis. Let's go. What a shot. Third and four. Okay. So he did this before. He doesn't get any more downhill than that. Oh, that should be a fumble. I think it had probably had something to do with the fact that he was juking while I was coming down. I don't know. It's about to say fourth and one. You go for this. He comes down and field goal calls the timeout. We got to come out with something standard. I can't give up a deep pass in case he does decide to pass this. Just play underneath. I hop on Derblin and let's see if he runs it. No, it's a pass. Short pass. Picked. Peanut Delman. Another fourth down stop We have the ball on the two, which I really don't like. Okay. We need to come out in a really strong RPO. RPO with their bubble. Yeah, this is it. Let's go. Entourage. Woo! You notice that? He had Osa Odegajua in a detackle with no abilities on him. But you can't stop it here. Now he's got the ability boys out. Just going to hit Tiki. We're going to take the smart pass on this one. Oh, he jukes. Out of bounds. Second and one. He's going to leave that again.  We go to the port of here. Wait, no, we go to this. Oh, can you get under it? No. No. Fuck. He's going to get points out of that.  I said we got to play perfect. I throw that. I thought it was there. I really did. Gun bunch quads. So this is not an RPO. Woo!  Well, you just had, we're having a mid-off. I want to hear his mic. What's he saying on the mic, Ty?  We're having a mid-off and I'm winning. Does that, okay. If we're having a mid-off, does that mean I'm winning or he's winning? You know what I mean?  My team is so good for that offensive line. To do that is so criminal. All right, we'll see if something deep opens up. If not, I'm just going to go into halftime. This is getting frustrating. Okay. So that's just for a little momentum. We go into halftime. We reset calmly. We get in field goal range. That is what we have to do. Woo! He's going to on-side kick. Yeah, he is. I love that he's on-side kicking though. I'm actually struggling to move the ball. He's going to give me excellent field position, assuming we recover this. We got it last time. Let him touch it. Don't do all that. Hey. Hey. Oh! The Nigerian Nightmare! I just gave you some good-ass content, bro. I don't know if you're going to win this, but. Oh my God! I'm, what? Yo, why is his on-side kick so good? That is such a hilarious karma for going for the on-side kick, cheese. Like it does, there's no karma worse than what just happened. The Nigerian nightmare gets into. You're kidding me. I got to follow Carmichael on his scene. He's going to go to the scene with Carmichael. Either way, it's bagged. Oh, okay. Huge hit, Bo. Okay, abilities are activated. Irvin's activated. Got to be careful of Michael Irvin, man. That's our biggest nightmare right now, is him. Oh! Shit!  He's getting bagged! Absolutely bagged on defense right now. This is definitely the best game I've played in a while, though. Gonna try to run, and it is going absolutely north. Eight rushes, 60 yards, and two touchdowns, but, damn, when he fills that box, just started to move around in there. Nice. Second and 12, we're going stretch alert lookie, not looking at the lookie, but just stretching and alerting. Yes, I'm aware that what I just said makes no sense at all. Let's see if he pass rushes with DeMarcus Ware. It doesn't keep the clock running, but I'll take my 45 yard field goal. So this makes it a 17 point game, three possession game.  So this looks like it'd be a run, but he just can't, right? You can't run the ball right now. You know the clock? Juke? Emma Smith's a dog, but I'm reading his jokes really well. This might be the same play action, so we can guess pass here, and get a really good pass rush.  It's kind of killing me with that. How did I not get that? Right, a lot of pressure right now. This is not good. I don't know what this is, but I'm not guessing pass. Good defense? Good enough defense. Dude, why is the old Schultz got 99 speed? Who says we can't get a goal line stand, huh? Blow it up.  Let's go, McBosa! Jordan was ready to, the jet sweep is bagged on the goal line, and going cover for palms, and I'm actually gonna put Bosa and Aaron Dottel in light blues. That sounds really weird. We had to be able to cover that. That's exactly why! That's exactly why!  He sees the middle open now, and it's gonna be up to me to make it in same play. I'm gonna lurk him over the middle now, watch. Let that angle set up, buddy. You're going Carmichael slant?  We are out of our mind. Dude, was anybody else anxious at the first drive? I thought we were cooked. He dominated me. We responded with a touchdown, and we proceeded to pick Troy Aikman off six times. A shutout after that first drive. All right, boys, you see it right there. All mad in playoffs. That's what's coming up next. Our record is five and one. We made the playoffs. That's all that matters. We've got a divisional playoff game. We've got a conference championship, and then it's the Super Bowl. Gotta go one game at a time, but that is a huge W. Did not complete my challenge, unfortunately. Hey, we earned the Rage Goat Wheel this time. Let's see what we got on this. I can't see that so small. Is that a plus one? Ooh, plus one, one position.   So my current left guard is 95 overall, Josh Myers. I know he's technically a center, but he's my left guard. So I'm gonna grab a 96 left guard. I understand how cheesy that is. And I know exactly who we're getting. We're getting 96 overall Combine Quentin Nelson. The reason we want Quentin Nelson is he has a very nice free ability, and of course, he has awesome stats too. But he has an ability that I haven't used this entire year, Post-Up. Dominant when engaged in double team blocks for zero AP. The important part was zero AP. I've also never used this ability, Omniscient. Highlights the user defender and third and fourth down Blitzers. So it's a combination of Blitz radar and identifier. Pretty cool, but I don't have the bandwidth for that. Quentin Nelson boosted to a 97 on the lineup. We're still a 96 overall, but dude, if I get Whitworth out for like a true right tackle, this will be one of the best old Lions I've ever seen.  I can't wait for the playoffs. All right boys, that is it for today's Wheel of Might.  I'll see you in the playoffs, lion season playoffs. I love you boys, thanks for watching as always. Peace.


Dear participants of the Civic Tech Conference 2020, I'm Audrey Tang, Taiwan's Digital Minister. It is a pleasure for me to share with you on the occasion of this conference some thoughts around digital social innovation. From my point of view, Switzerland is a very unique actor in the field of Civic Tech, with a very long history of democratic institutions. Indeed, since the very foundation of the modern national state, people have defined common polities together. So in the next few minutes, I would like to show you a part of our Taiwan model of pandemic prevention, where a very similar spirit of direct participation have enabled Civic Technologists to become civil engineers of the digital age. I wish you a wonderful conference with lots of new insights, and I am convinced that all of you can contribute to a bright future for digital participation.


welcome to today's session. I've got a background noise coming on here. Hi I'm Debbie Bath and I am... Hello everybody and welcome to today's session. It's all going crazy. There was me a second. Yay okay we're back. I'm Debbie Bath and I am filling in for our chair who hasn't quite managed to to make it here. So if you just bear with me a second I'm going to add some of our fellow speakers to the stream for you so we can say hello and I'm not all by myself. Here we go. There they are. Hi. Hello everybody. Okay welcome to today's session. We are being sponsored by a sponsor today so I'm just going to share my screen for you and then we'll go through that and then I'm going to hand over to Jane. Okay so here we go. Bear with me a second. She says trying to find it. There we go. Filling in quickly. Great. I'm hoping you can see some slides. Excellent. Jane can you see the slides there? Not yet. I can't see them. Okay. Good time. Try it again. Here we go. Right we should be able to see some slides now. No slides for me. Oh dear. Thank you guys. Oh this is working really really well. Okay so both me a second. Why are the slides not working? That's not really good. Okay. Go. They're up there. They're up there for me anyway so I'm going to talk away assuming that they are still up there. So this is the first one we've done this morning. So bear with me a second while we try and get through these things. That is just a quick reminder to tell you about the Alt C Discord social space which I know that you've seen already. And then we do need to say a big huge thank you to our sessions sponsors who are open LMS. So I'm putting their slide up on there now and I'm really hopeful that somebody can see this on YouTube. But we are really really grateful to our session sponsors. So if you bear with me a second we would like to just remind you that recordings will be available from the interactive program as soon as they become available and they will be made openly available after the event. We're obviously would like to remind you as well about our netica and code of contact to ensure that everyone can enjoy the conference safely. Okay. So I'm hoping that you did see some slides there and apologies if I'm just talking and they're not there. But we'll sort it out later. I'm going to hand over to Jane. Here we go. And crack on Jane. Thanks very much. Morning everyone. If I could have my slides up please, Deb. So we can start the presentation. Thank you. Lovely. Okay. So morning. I'm Jane Secker and I'm being joined by Julie Vos and we are at City University. And we also have two of our students with us to talk about teaching development during the digital pivot. And the experience is that our students who are city staff had with the shift to online learning in 2020 and onwards. Okay. So just very quick intro. You may well know us both. Julie, would you like to say hello to everyone? Hi there. I'm Julie Vos. I'm head of digital education at City University of London. I've just been appointed as a senior lecturer in educational development. So working in Jane's team. And that is fabulous news. And I'm Jane Secker, senior lecturer in educational development at City. And we teach an MA in academic practice. We also have various dropping off points where you can get a PG diploma, PG cert. But it's a postgraduate level course. And we're going to talk a bit about the digital pivot of this course. The modules are aimed at our staff primarily. We do have some externals come on them. And traditionally, we taught in face to face teaching days. So a typical 15 credit module might have three to four days where staff would come in. In March 2020, there were a couple of our modules running. A key to this was the module technology enabled academic practice. And the sort of digital pivot and the techniques that were used on that module that we had to adopt very, very rapidly were actually rolled out to the other modules on the master's program. One advantage, I guess, of the technology enabled academic practice was it was designed in some ways as a blended learning course, although it did still have face to face teaching and quite a number of workshops. So we had quite a lot of challenges on our hands. And this was my desk as it appeared on the 17th of March 2020. Julie and I were due to teach a workshop. We had a whole range of resources went into the office actually only a couple of weeks ago to find it like a scene from the Marie Celeste with everything dated 17th of March actually there laid out on my desk, because that was obviously shifted online very, very rapidly. On that date, you all know what happened on the 23rd of March. City had sort of anticipated this. So we weren't advised to go into the campus. But obviously, we had a teaching day lined up actually the week before this and had to take a very, very quick decision about what we were going to do with that module. It being about technology, it seemed crazy to bring people onto the campus. And so we put a number of things in place. We just like now, I guess, to hear a bit about what your experience was. I mean, I have to say my experience was probably in some sort of extremes of kind of chaos, panic, you know, fairly kind of rapidly having to react to this sort of evolving situation. But if there's something you know, you might want to share from your experience, I mean, it would be good if you want to pop a number into the chat as well of where you think it was. Has it been a great experience? I think for those of us who've worked in learning technology for over 20 years, as I've revealed this morning, it's kind of, you know, never have I felt so valued, but never have I felt so stressed and overworked as well. So we'd really like to hear from you. And maybe we can pick up some of the comments as we go along in the chat. So I think, yeah, I think I think my people are probably going to put themselves somewhere in the middle. Yeah, opportunities to grab Tim, definitely, definitely. But obviously, amazing, traumatic, all at the same time. Keep sharing that. So that's that's really great to hear from you. I'm just going to tell you a little bit as you as we were sort of short of time about the structure of the module when we shifted online, one of the things because we've had these traditional sort of teaching days was I felt clearly we weren't going to spend that day online and we needed to divide this into chunks. So with the module we decided we would do a morning synchronous teaching session and an afternoon one sort of at the end of the day to kind of check in with people. What we planned then was a whole range of asynchronous activities, some of which were to be carried out in the in the break. And there was an opportunity to come along to a surgery session for half an hour if you have any problems with that. We also had quite a number. So we shifted some of the activities to pre course activities or pre teaching day activities. So have a look at this video, do some reading, post an idea to the forum. Some of them we shifted afterwards as well. But a couple of things that I found really helpful to keep everyone on track was updating people with a once a week email of kind of what's going on this week, what have we done and what's coming up next week and having a really clear schedule on Moodle. And we recorded all our synchronous teaching so that we could share that because we were very conscious that people were getting all sorts of clashes and not necessarily able to to attend. The the content, I guess, of the course, as I said, it was designed in many ways. It had been around this module for more than 10 years, I think, or around 10 years with various amendments I've made, but it had been designed to have a whole range of blended learning online activities. And some of the kind of really key things that have been built into this module from the really early days when Neil Sumner put this together was about building an online community and focusing on learning design. And I think those were two topics that we saw at City really resonating with with staff. But it's quite a heavy module. It was actually it is actually I say it was because it's actually been suspended, it's actually been withdrawn and we're launching a new sort of lighter, brighter, fresher version for next year that's going to be 15 credits. But yeah, it's had a lot of assignments, teaching days, webinars and taught over the period of about six months. So quite an intensive course. Julie, you're going to tell us a bit about some of the models that particularly around learning design that we found people found useful. Yes, so as part of the module, the students were introduced to learning theories. So Laura Lard's conversational framework, Vengas, communities of practice, and they engage with these via a discussion forum post. We also introduced them to some learning design models, so ABC and Julie Sammons five step model. And then we introduced during the February iteration because of the pandemic, the present apply review approach, which was something that City adopted during the last year to support the move online. It was felt to be a bit more sort of lightweight than some of the other models and easier for people to get to groups with. So the students were asked to reflect on these models and carry out a group activity using the present apply review to plan a teaching session. So it was really quite sort of practical and very timely for them to get to do this. So next slide, please, Jane. So the next thing was the TAP project. So this was the main project and consisted of 50% of the module marks. It was a two and a half thousand word essay or project report. And the students were asked to plan and design for using an educational technology tool within their professional context, which drew upon the theories and the principles that we explored and one or more of the modules that we'd shown them or exposed them to. We also asked them to think about the issues of inclusivity, accessibility, good practice, design principles and reflecting on how what we've learned in the module influenced their project and then ask them how they would evaluate their their intervention or their use of the technology. Thanks, Julie. So now comes the exciting part when we're going to go over to two of our cohort that who took our module. I'm really delighted that we've got Xuanwei Li, who's a postdoctoral research associate in our School of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering. And we have Jim Grice, who's a visiting lecturer in our School of Journalism. And I think that Xuanwei, you're going to talk first and just tell us a bit about your experience of taking the module over during the kind of the digital pivot. Hello, everyone, I'm Chen Hui. Yeah, and it's a great pleasure for me to share my experience on undertaking this technology-abled academic practice module and my project design. And I was delivering an experimental live about fluid mechanics in 2019 and 20 academic year. When the lockdown occurred in March 2020, we had to shift the class online rapidly. It's extremely challenging to adapt that laboratory course online. So in this type module, I choose the topic of the project design as online labs. And this project aims to investigate on how to deliver the online the laboratory course online, facilitated with the technology to such as module, zoom and virtual labs. And the structure of my project design is outlined by the present applied review model because the lab session is part of the module. So the present applied review model it fits that type of short teaching activity very well. And in addition, JD Simon's five-stage model is also integrated to the present applied review model to enhance interaction or learning, communication and engagement. And this technology-abled academic practice module helps me to be open-minded to a variety of technology able teaching measures and tools. And also I obtained a coherent and detailed knowledge on teaching series and their implementation to course design. And furthermore, it's a brilliant learning experience to build an online learning community and learn from each other in the community. And that's all what I want to share today. Thank you. Thanks, Shanwai. That's that's excellent. And yeah, definitely we try to model good practice with that idea of being a learning community for those of us on the module. And Jim, can we hear from you? And thanks very much for joining us to talk a bit about your project and experiences on the module. Yeah, thank you, Jane. My key particular thing that I looked at with this, which I was useful in studying the module as a part of studying it, but also then applying that to my teaching practice was that, as you can see, I teach journalism. I specifically teach broadcast journalism. And a lot of that involves practical skills. So I teach people video, filming and editing, primarily, but also audio as well. Traditionally, this is workshop sessions, which was the challenge and the interesting point here with working with the with the digital pivot. The specific things I think, as Judy mentioned earlier and the specific challenge, both probably studying the classes as well and then trying to take this into my professional practice was really about creating a successful community of practice because that had always been how the workshop sessions have worked best, flooded and face to face because you often found that people adapt to the technology better than others. Some people already have greater prior knowledge. So therefore, you would find that the successful classes were the ones where the students would start to explore themselves and also start to do a certain extent, perhaps to support and collaborate amongst themselves. And so what I particularly looked up was to try and replicate that online as much as I could. Therefore, where I went and ended up going with this very much influenced by a lot of the the teaching that we did on the course was to look at using apps, particularly because it was easier and I was actually practically able to do it. But also the other reason as well was because I found with some work, particularly with Flipgrid as a video sharing platform, it created a nice, slightly informal and very student-centred area for students that were able to compare that each other's work, collaborate and also offer feedback. And then also take it in a direction where I wasn't expecting them to take it, actually, which was that they actually very much started making this space. They saw this kind of liminal space as something that was very much their own and perhaps slightly separate from a traditional teaching relationship. They started using commenting on each other's works well outside of the class and also started using examples of work that they shared on Flipgrid. Flipgrid is a little bit modeled really on TikTok, I think. It's very easy to upload videos and so they were able to upload practical exercises that I'd set them to do. But what was interesting was there were students that were perceived to have done well. Their work started getting viewed exponentially higher than the other students within the class because the other students started using that work as a benchmark for their own work. So they started using it as examples of best practice and actually moved and developed within themselves, within the group. So that was certainly the key finding, I think, from the work that I did in this particular area. Certainly, in terms of the theory, I found perhaps the thing that worked best was Sam's five-stage model because very much around the ideas of access and motivation and then creating this sense of online socialization actually was really interesting to actually see it start to appear in front of my eyes in some way, step out of being a theory that you were looking at actually starting to see how it actually works in reality. Thank you, Jim. That's excellent. Thanks very much. Really interesting. So we're really interested in hearing from you. We know we've got limited time left. We've set up a jam board where we'd like to hear a bit about other strategies that you might have used. Julie and I just had a couple of quick reflections, I guess, to share on thinking about the role of a more structured program such as the MA in academic practice and the time that that takes up versus staff literally need to teach tomorrow and they've got to get up to speed and they're very focused then on the tech skills versus understanding some of the theories. Julie, do you want to say anything about any of our observations there? Yeah, I think we tried to provide as many opportunities for staff to engage, as I'm sure other institutions did. So we had an online teaching toolkit which talked them through the present apply review approach which included lots of case studies. We ran a lot of one-off workshops. We even recorded them and then some of them were more drop-in sessions where people could ask, having watched the recording. We ran a lot of drop-ins, especially in the early stages because we found staff just wanted someone to talk to. I think that was the key thing or key takeaway for us was staff felt very isolated suddenly being thrown online and not having their normal support network. So often staff would drop in just for a chat or just to speak to someone. And yet we did help them with ed tech stuff but also just talking more generally and providing that sort of point of contact. So yeah, we tried to provide as much as we could to staff in different formats. So yeah, it's over to you. Pop things into the comments. We'll have a look at the Jamboard. We've got a bit of further reading for you but I think Deb, so we can stop sharing our slides and just get everyone up on the screen if anyone wants to ask any questions. So yeah, I mean, I think it'd be good to just try and get the... Have you got the Jamboard up, Julie? I was just wondering if we could share that with people. Have you got... I can't see it if you've shared it yet, Julie. Oh, great. Okay, let me try and do that. She's just shared it. Yeah, here we go. I can see Javier was saying about the human dimension and I think absolutely being there for people and having like drop-ins seem to be a massively important thing at Citi. So there was kind of always time set aside. We did all sorts of different... I mean, I just felt like I never stopped in some ways but all sorts of different opportunities so that staff always felt like they were... There was somebody sort of there if they needed help, whether it's because they were in a panic and they were trying to do something or if they just actually wanted to sort of check in and have a bit of a chat. I certainly also found myself talking a lot more and getting to know my cohort who came on the module much, much better than the students that I taught face-to-face which I think was quite ironic but I think that was sometimes because they would want to have a chat with me and they would then also... We would sort of share concerns about generally what was kind of going on in the world because it was a really scary time. So, yeah. I think it was like... Yeah, at the beginning of every session you always sort of ask people to check in with a sort of scale of one to five, how are you feeling? Which I think you would necessarily normally do in a teaching session but because of the situation people didn't actually... Yeah, people opened up and shared a bit more than maybe they would normally. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah. And trying to help put people in touch with each other so that they could support each other was something that we tried to do. Okay, we've got a question. Question from Alex. How did you manage feedback in an online environment? Do you feel students engaged more or less in an online format? Feedback, as in, do you mean sort of from their assignments, Alex? So, you know, or just general, more sort of formative feedback? I mean, certainly we didn't change massively the way that we would mark pieces of work and give feedback. One of the things the external examiners on the MA always say is that we give huge amounts of feedback. We do give that in written format. I guess one of the things I noticed because staff are working on a project and they get the opportunity to submit a formative draft is that many of them did take up the opportunity if they didn't understand any of my feedback of just arranging like a quick teams call with me. So I did a lot more one-to-ones to kind of clarify what written feedback meant because I think providing it in that format sometimes means that, you know, I think what I've written is really clear, but actually they just sort of, what do you want me to do with this project? How do I get this to be a better mark kind of thing? Which I can't tell the answer to that, but, you know, I think that is easier to convey when you talk to somebody online. So lots and lots of one-to-ones for feedback. Okay, well, I think we're out of time, aren't we? Thanks for coming. Please add more stuff to our Jamboard. Julie and I want to add some more, want to write something up after this as well. So we'd love to hear from you. We're hoping to write a blog post about this. So, yeah. Thank you. Thank you ever so much to all our speakers and thank you again to our sponsor. And I hope the slide went up there okay for you. And I'm going to stop the recording now. But thank you ever so much. Okay, take care.


My name is Kathleen Lee. I'm the founder of Kathleen Lee Consulting. I'm also a PR consultant and a video journalist. In today's segment, we are going to be talking about business and community collaboration during COVID-19. Today's guest is a dynamic individual who is the embodiment of her name and a good friend of mine. And she is, among many things, the associate editor and a staff writer for the Phil M. Courier, Hawaii's longest-running Filipino-American publication. So I'd like to welcome to the show, Radiant Cordero. Hey, Radiant. Hi, everyone. Thank you, Think Tech, Hawaii, as well as Kathleen for having me on here. I hope everyone's doing well and staying safe. Okay. So let's start off. Let's tell the people out there a little bit about yourself. Tell us about your background, your experiences in both the public and private sectors, as well as your community involvement. Absolutely. Well, hey, everyone. Again, my name is Radiant Cordero. And as Kathleen mentioned, I do work in our local journalism, specifically in the Filipino community. I have written for the local newspaper called the Phil M. Courier. It is the longest-running and leading publication in the state of Hawaii. And it actually runs in my blood. So my mom began a business doing business cards and serving our community in different ways, such as, you know, it was actually a sari-sari store, which is like a little convenience store in Kalihi, and added doing business cards, as well as making souvenir books. And then it kind of flourished into doing a newspaper, you know, serving our community because we have to recognize that, you know, as our community grows, our community still has different avenues of how to be reached out to. And newspaper is not dead. And that's what I feel, you know, newspaper and different ways of communicating. Radio is not dead. And so the Phil M. Courier fosters that. The Phil M. Courier is a multimedia platform. We are on, we live stream as well as on the radio. And so I, although it's on hiatus at the moment, to do a little more venturing into other platforms is, is on hiatus right now. It was called the Philippinex Collective, highlighting stories and especially young Filipino, Filipino and entrepreneurs in our community here, whether they are here on the island or they are now on the mainland. Nonetheless, so that's what the Phil M. Courier is. And what the Phil M. Courier has stemmed from, and what, you know, my family has built the Phil M. Courier to be, is building a community and supporting our community. And so when we talk about in relation to COVID-19, it's, it's no different from that support or building of a community or uplifting of a community. So that, so you said that community runs in your blood, which leads me to our next question. Like I mentioned in your introduction, the Phil M. Courier is one of the many, many, many hats and things that you do. You're also running for City and County of Honolulu City Council for District 7. Sorry, I kind of stumbled onto that, but you are running for District 7 for City Council and tell us what motivated you to make this decision. Absolutely. So Kathleen, like I mentioned earlier, there was the impetus for the Courier itself was to build on community. And because I grew up in that, in that type of environment and that with that, I just drive, I guess, community driven efforts. That's how I started my, my service as. So, you know, I, during high school, even I started working right away and I was volunteering as much as I could while in high school. But, you know, I graduated high school in 2008. When we, when the market crashed, you know, the newspaper was a free newspaper. We could barely sustain ourselves. We had actually two newspapers in one. One was a Philippine business type of a newspaper, but that folded. So I stayed home for college and I, you know, worked extremely hard. I worked about three, four, five jobs even to basically survive through college. Yeah. So, and growing up, I grew up in Kalihi and I experienced in our public transportation.  And that's how it was. And that's so for what I wanted to do to continue to support the community. I entered the nonprofit world working for nonprofits. And I did that for, you know, working with persons who feel like they don't always have a voice who feel underserved a lot of the times. So I wanted to be someone who could be their cheerleader.  And a lot of the times, for whatever reason, they were unable to retain their jobs or they were unable to get those skills. So I was able to play a little role in that, you know. And then I also worked with Artaki. And during that time, I actually had to take, take on more of it when the furlough, when furlough Fridays were occurring in the early 2000s or like, you know, 10, 11 or so years ago. And during the time, I was still going to college and it's still actually with my professors, either doing action or not protesting, but, you know, protesting or doing action and writing letters to our state legislature. And with that, I actually in alignment with my, with my, with my degrees, which was political science, American studies, I was actually trying to get my degree in ethnic studies, but I was just about two credits or two classes shy. And I, for me, I couldn't, I couldn't continue, I, for all the jobs that I was working, it was very difficult to make a decision to continue schooling for another semester, you know. So I was also in ethnic studies and I wanted to make sure that I could get my credits done. So I saw an opportunity to intern at the state legislature. And then I saw how I just, I had a quick glimpse of what can be done, you know, then I came back for another session. And then, you know, the more that you're in there, you can, you have more opportunity to do outreach to your community. And that's what I wanted to do. I wanted, I felt like these people are sitting here making decisions on things that people outside or people who are with me waiting at the bus stop waiting on the, in the bus or, you know, on the bus with me or people just down the street. And how can we include them in that process? So that has always been my goal in any, in anything. So starting from nonprofits, collaborating with schools, collaborating with, with private companies, even like metal gold or other companies to put on programs because nonprofits have, have their role, businesses have their role, government has its role. But what happens if we can use all those strengths and marrying it, marry it together, you know, magic happens, basically. And that's, that's, that's what I've seen. You know, for me, it was never, never, I never doubted that, because I've seen that through my, through my family, and through, and my family's newspaper and the community that they've built. So after that, after working in nonprofits, I of course had to continue working. So I worked in hotels, I worked at Roy Hawaiian and Sheraton like a key. And then I was wavering or not, whether or not to continue and to serve our local government. So I then continued after the nonprofits to, to join the city council as a staff member, doing, doing community communications, as well as, you know, conscious constituent concerns. And I felt like I, I personally really didn't know what the council does, or what the city and counties role was in our lives. And I actually found myself taking a liking to it, I got to say, it also took a while to get used to I was so used to how the state legislature operates. I was so, I was so used to like that, that four or five months or seven months. Yeah, I was like, Oh my gosh, the first, the first three years of working at the council, I was like, Oh, I don't have the stamina for this. But I'm just kidding. But nonetheless, it's, it's, it's a different beast in the, in the council, you know, year-round beyond that, but just the different rules, how it operates, the different ABCs that we have for city agencies. But, you know, I think in my position, from my experience at the state legislature, also nonprofits, as well as in journalism, you know, wanting to highlight people's stories, but also their concerns and issues is to also utilize all that and fight for their resources, fight for the, the other issues that they feel like have not been elevated. And so I hope that I can do that. And yeah, so, so I hope I can do that. And if you have any more questions on that too, I would love to share. Yeah, well, let's let's let's move into the next on that topic. You know, since you have seen a lot of things going on in different sectors, what have you seen and observed so far as new significant issues that businesses and our local government are running into with a COVID-19 pandemic? So right offhand, our, our local, our small mom and pop shops, from the beginning, they really didn't know how to operate when a lot of these times information is shared through press conferences and then after the news. And then, if not, it's explained through the executive orders and whatnot. But a lot of the time, you know, Kathleen, and, you know, everyone who's watching here, we are so caught up in trying to just live our lives. And because we are so caught up trying to live our lives, the resources that are given to us are not always fit for our, I don't want to say understanding, but for what we have time for what we have, you know, just how we can accommodate. So, because some people or many businesses were unable to either accommodate or whether to provide assistance or their employees, we saw that there were major hindrances, hindrances being, being like, you know, when an employee applies for unemployment versus when their business or their former employer helps them do it. You can see that the system doesn't check whether or not it's the same. And that hinders our businesses as well as their employees to get the assistance that they need, like funding or unemployment checks or PPP. And those little, those little systematic, I guess, discrepancies do make a huge difference because it means having to reapply again, having to spend hours or days even to keep doing calls to make the changes at the, at the call center, you know, or to DLR or whether it be DCCA for businesses. Also, I also noticed that a lot of our businesses are considered, you know, whether they have the amount of staff that they have. Some of them were told to apply for PPP. Some of them were told to apply for, you know, disaster relief. Others were applied, were told to apply for, you know, other things. So recognizing that there was that type of a discrepancy as well. So in the very beginning, I got a lot of calls trying to help them get information on whether or not that I applied for the right one. I know it went through, but am I wasting my time waiting to be approved for PPP or disaster or small business disaster relief funds? And so that's, that's what's hard. I think has hit a lot of people hard is just all the information. But how do I know what, what fits right for my business? What fits right for me as an employee who lost her job or me as someone who is an independent contractor? Because a lot of people at the very beginning who were independent contractors very well tied for unemployment insurance, you know, because they too lost their income. But did a lot of us, a lot of them didn't know that, that these gigs or side jobs were unable to be, I guess, yeah, funded through unemployment insurance. And that's just ways that we can work better towards. I think it can come forward from not just government, but a lot of the communications that we are allotted, whether it be through the news stations, through newspaper, but also how we all share information. And we have to be super, super cognizant of that. Yeah. And I really implore everyone to be cognizant of how different people communicate and not just how they communicate, but how they receive information. Because I can be me and Kathleen and can be talking, but let's say someone who's on the outside is like, you're the talking alien to me, you know. So, yeah, just really being cognizant of that. Yeah. Okay. So let's go off of that note then. You kind of touched upon it already. But what are the lessons that you think we can take away from the community's response to the pandemic? So what we can take away from our community's response to the pandemic is that, you know, actually, a lot of people were very, were abiding by a lot of it, but because they didn't know where to seek or they got lack of responses or they just, there was just a lot of miscommunication. I think what the community can take away from it is working, allowing for their, their opinions and their ideas to come forward in the beginning as opposed to, as opposed to just waiting for things to get really bad and say, hey, you know, back in March, I was unable to do this back in April, this happened. And now we have to do to play catch up, you know, but it's also on the community and I know many people have said this before, but to also speak up and say, hey, we need help understanding this. Hey, we need help for clarification on certain things. And I don't want to say just our community. I want to also say our nonprofit organizations are our faith based communities also for our businesses, as well as our government agencies, because with as much of information overload that is going on, it really leads, leaves it up for everyone's interpretation. You know, so I think that together we can form an easier and better system, hopefully in the future, whether or not it's a pandemic, but something else, even, even for natural disasters, even for, even just for any other things that it's mass amounts of information for, for everyone. And you know, even for, I want to say for the, for natural disasters, even with what you read across and how many shelters there are, because there are so many, so many documents from last years or prior years.  If we don't get information right away, we are utilizing information that's outdated too. You know what I mean? So being sure that we're sharing the right factual, accurate information as well. Okay. And that kind of goes into my next question that you've been really good at this. Like the next thing is like you already responded to it. And I think that is so wonderful. And so what are some ideas that you have on how local businesses and the community can all work together to move forward from COVID-19? That's a great, that's a great question. And the first thing that I thought of when you asked that question was, you know, a lot of businesses, a lot of organizations, we're used to, whether or not we say it or not, we're used to competing, yeah, we're used to competing for resources, for grants and aids, for nonprofits, because, you know, I used to work in nonprofits and having to apply for grants and all that, and making our case. But honestly, when we are in this type of a of a time, a period in time, we have to find ways to be collaborative in a way where if government is doing one, one, how to say, if government is doing one type of work, and then seven nonprofits, and then two businesses want to do the very same thing, I think what's really good is to collaborate in spite, I want to say certain areas, you know, like, if we were to just think about ahupuaas, if I could just make it a simple example, if we think about, let's say, I'm in Moanalua ahupua, for example. And if we think of all the businesses here, and all the schools here, and they have different plans, I think it, and I don't know who it could be if it could be a business, or it could be government, or whatnot, but I think having a centralized area of like where all the information is, but also coordinating with people, because there are times where people just down the road, and I don't know, like for example, like for something that's happening down by aloha sadia, and then the nonprofit organizations just down the road, don't know, they are doing food distribution or meal daily meals, you know, on the daily, and then so if they don't know about it, it kind of interrupts their their daily service, and also interrupts like who is showing up to their meals. So then kind of one, they might waste food to people who are trying to get to the nonprofits, have a hard time to to get there to begin with, because of what's happening. So I think being able to just, I keep saying communicate it, but really it's just needing a centralized area, and not feeling like we're competing on doing or on providing these services, you know what I mean? So if you, and if we get out of that competitive like business mindset, especially during this time, I think we have a huge opportunity because we've seen it already, so many businesses, so many nonprofits, so much of our government agencies have whoied together to do public-private partnership, do faith-based and business partnerships to really serve our community, and we can see how that works out. And that's, and we can see that, and honestly I just want to continue that, continuing that, but also just making sure it's streamlined so that, you know, people know what's going on, you know, they won't run into the traffic or they won't run into any other issues or duplication, and also it makes it easier for when different people are looking for different resources. Like I said, so many of my neighbors are asking me, hey, do you have any information on food distribution or etc. And sometimes, of course, I go right to the Hawaii Food Bank, which is an amazing resource, but there's also so many other churches that are doing great things, like senior food boxes or even other unions, as well as businesses who are partnering with other groups to do it, but how do I find out, you know? It would be so much easier to share, to information share when it's all streamlined, and I think, I think, I know that's not a real idea, like a new idea about that, but I think a resource could come from, you know, right now, they say that tourism is not existent right now, so maybe if it can utilize the great resources and abilities that, I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there. I don't want to say that they should do this, but I'm just thinking what agencies are really good at collating information, which agencies have really great, beautiful design, and I'm thinking, you know, or tourism agencies, you know, they can collate information, they can streamline it, and it doesn't matter who it is, if it's from government, from city, state, county, and on which islands, that agency has hands in all of our counties, so being able to find that one sweet spot agency or umbrella organization or business that can provide a streamlined service, and if it's our media, so be it, you know, of course, I, being a, being someone who's a writer and also in radio before, I'm very much, I'm very much biased towards that, of course, but you know, very much, so bringing all those resources and strengths together, together, but we need that streamlined for sure. That's awesome. Okay, so you are, you did talk about, well, you talk a lot about your passion, which is awesome, as well as clear communication. So, well, we'll go over what I, let's go over the last question that I would love to ask you, and I would love people to know, is that based on everything that you've said, and what you are planning to do now, which is to continue serving the community, but in the capacity of someone who is running for office, what are your priorities? Oh, absolutely. Well, I don't know if you could tell, but community engagement is one of my top, top priorities, but you know, I was actually speaking to a few neighbors that, you know, community driven, community led efforts to towards solutions, because, and I tell people this all the time, like I feel like, not, not just our neighbors, but our youth have solutions to a lot of our issues, and a lot of them, they grew up, and I gotta say, I grew up feeling like these decisions were not made for my community. And so I want to make that change. I want to see that when communities are impacted that they were part of the deciding factor. And I feel like with my collaborative experiences through nonprofit, as well as in journalism, but also just in volunteering in general, I really want to bring that forth. Next up is, of course, I would not be speaking about anything COVID related right now, if you don't address economic recovery and redevelop development, but I want to focus on the strengths of each community in itself. For me, I also don't really like blanket approaches to certain neighborhoods and certain areas, because I feel like one thing that will work for, you know, IA might not very much work for something in Chinatown, because they all lead different lives have, they do have parking problems, they both have parking problems, but their issues are quite different if you think about it. So with that, with a different, I want to say neighborhood, neighborhood to neighborhood, or neighborhood or town driven, you know, each town's driven purpose, and to build its own economy back and using its own knowledge to do that. So whether or not it's to support local residents, but they're small businesses. So for Kalihi, like, you know, there's a lot of people who have, there's a lot of warehouse businesses, businesses, but in Kamuqi, there's a lot of businesses that are storefronts, you know what I mean? So really approaching it in a manner that is good for that, not good for them, but that is, that fits them, I should say. And a lot of that is also looking to other economies that, beyond our tourism economies, but also what the strengths of our neighbors are. I really love, so I grew up in Kalihi, and I live in Salt Lake now, and a lot of urban gardening happening, you know, and a lot of, a lot of community gardening, you know, sharing of food. So if we want to look at our food security and look at how we can just create a sustainable local economy, we don't have to look just to our rural areas. We don't have to look just to our other islands. How about we look towards our neighbors, even in our urban settings? So also public health and safety along with that, access to health care, access to emergency response systems, making sure that even beyond pandemics, and even in, even in, during tsunamis or hurricane season, mapping out right, defining mapped evacuation systems, you know, I don't even know where those are, the flood zones. And speaking of floods, my top, my number one top priority is taking care of the foundation of our city core services, which is our infrastructure. And infrastructure even means like our technology to our sewer system, to our water, and to our sidewalks, and everything that we use, and how we even communicate with, with the rest of our neighbors in the county. So that's what I feel infrastructure is. I like that. I love how you outlined all that. And on that note, again, we thank you for sharing your ideas and your passion with us. I am Kathleen Lee with our guest today, Radiant Porgero, again, staff writer for the Phelan Courier and Associate Editor, as well as a candidate for at City Council District 7. So thank you for joining us. You can catch this video on ThinkTechKawaii.com, as well as ThinkTechKawaii's YouTube. So thank you again, Radiant, and thanks, everyone, for watching. Bye, everyone. Stay safe.

This is Julian Stechle, I'm a childist and I welcome you to today's music tutorial where we will be talking about the E minor solata by Johannes Brahms. I think in Brahms' music in general, but especially also here, it's vital to try to be very talkative and very precise in your articulation in the bow. So it should not feel like just a long sostenuto contabile line, but should never forget to speak the small notes such as bar one, this eighth note. Let's have a look at bar three where he writes little dots below the slur. So I encourage everyone to be curious about these little details and really see what he writes, where he makes differences between a proper slur and a slur with dots. I think it's really worth it.


The need to appreciate and support persons living with disabilities to show an inclusive society has been echoed. This call was made by the founder of LaMood Disability Foundation and magazine Sandra Odige ahead of the round-all event tagged Green October. Odige said the aim of the event which is themed beyond disability would showcase charity, fashion and awards to create awareness for persons with disabilities. She called on Nigerians to stop treating people living with disabilities with pity but give them chances to be better persons. Without persons living with disabilities there is no Green October event. There's no initiative. They gave birth to the idea. They gave birth to the initiative while we were here for the conference. So the initiative this year is more than disability right? We are saying persons with disabilities are more. They can do more. They can be great. They can do great things. Don't be limited or do not judge them by their physical looks but they have any kind of physical disability instead. Be patient and listen to them and look at what they can do instead of their skills, their intelligence, their smartness, their creativity, their ideas. Embrace them and you'll be glad you did because I work with most of them. Graphic designer, websites, they are amazing. They are skillful. So it's not give them opportunity and they will do more than what it's beyond their expectation. So that's what I was saying. More than disability. Persons living with disabilities are more. They can do more. They can do great things. They can add value. They can be president. They can be CEOs. They can be everything that anybody can do. That's got their limits. They are physically challenging. Doesn't mean that they are skilled. It's also challenging. They are they are amazing set of women beings. So because we keep saying that persons living with disabilities are just like what every one of us will even live differently. Let's continue to show them all the love and support that we deserve in our communities, in our place of work, in our neighborhood, in our small corners. Let's embrace this person. Let's don't shove them around and say, who's that one? What can she do? What can he do? No, he can do great things. Even more than what you expect without. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
