And for Robert, how will Apecoin feature in the future of UGLAB's other side, Board Apes? So how can we use Apecoin in this situation? I don't have a good enough answer for you on that. So I haven't seen the white paper be updated, at least recently. I know that Apecoin is still active and still running, but as for its role in, so I focus mostly on other sides. So Token Gamer is a sort of gaming technology website. So I focus primarily on the gaming side and the metaverse side. As for UGLAB's and the Board Ape ecosystem, I can't say. So unfortunately, I can't really shed any light on that. That's all right. It's just interesting. I've used, what's that, Mona? No, I was just gonna say, I think, to be honest, a lot of numbers are down for metaverse tokens. And I think that's why a lot of projects are really, really focusing on the utility and what experiences people are going to want to see after the spare market. Because the ones that last through this, they need to bring something very substantial to this table. So what I am seeing, especially in the central land right now, and by the way, if any of your viewers want to get a tour, I will share the person who is giving currently tours of the entire central land so people can see what the experiences are. But right now, the community of the central land is fully focused on experiences. And I think if you see their roster, it is events after events after events. And they're really honing into what does the average user want to experience there and see here? What are we really offering here? When I was at the salsa, they have this thing, like now in the metaverse, you have to get consent. I don't know if you guys know this, but to touch another avatar or dance or put your hands, put your avatar hands on another avatar's hip, you have to ask for consent. Did you guys know that? That makes sense because I'd heard something was also happening in the first round of the metaverse where there was a lot of inappropriate behavior. So I can see why that would actually come to fruition. Yeah. Yeah, so I mean, it is all about experiences right now. And I think that's what's going to set metaverses apart. What is this metaverse offering? I read an article in Forbes. And Forbes said in about, in 20, I think it was 2030, every business is gonna have to have a digital representation of their services, just like back in the day when every business needed a website, I don't know if you guys recall, but businesses were like, why do I need a website? And then they realized that it's a necessity, right? So now a digital environment that provides your services is let me think of a doctor's office, right? Think of a real estate office. People are gonna want to go into your virtual experience and see the home or be seen by a virtual nurse. So just part of those experiences is what we're talking about here. Sounds good. And then before we were going on, you said something about the tokens are down. And that reminded me to take a look real quick. Let's take a look at those tokens. So everybody, if you go to CoinGecko, I think there's a CoinMarketCap as well.com if you go to categories. And this won't be totally correct, but if you look up metaverse number 21, you can see all the tokens that, what CoinGecko believes, it's part of the metaverse. One of those is an ICP, I don't know if that's true. Render looks more like an AI play, but we can see that Sandbox is actually doing not bad. 7% up for the week. I interviewed the co-founder of Internet Computer Pro School. I'm not sure it's really metaverse, but they are focusing more on gaming. So perhaps the Sandbox is a very strong example. Sandbox, yeah, and they're backing. They got a huge backing. Yeah, look at Flokey. I don't know if that's a metaverse, but it's up 43%. So yeah, Merit Circle, I have no idea what this is. 35%. The Central Land, by the way, before you move on there, Rob, the Central Land pretty much has put everything in the hands of the community. So the community is building the Central Land right now, and they're just filling it up with events and experiences. Maybe that's the new job that we don't know that we didn't have, which would be someone as a tour guide into these metaverse spaces. See? Yeah, odd job. At odd job is the tour guide for that metaverse. There you go. Imagine if you were, you did a tour of the Central Land or Sandbox, and you got paid in the token itself. And after like a couple of years, it was a massive appreciation. Could be a full-time gig. You know, it's a Bitcoin story. Yeah, exactly.  I remember before the internet, and of course, when the internet came about, we all thought, well, that was it. All types of information, and all our jobs will be gone, and it'll be sucked up by internet. And a lot of jobs were, but then there was jobs that you had no idea actually existed before the 90s.  So like, as we move forward with technology pushing us into this direction, there's jobs that'll come out, there's opportunities that'll come out, it's just finding those opportunities. And guys, do you know any of these other projects? I know Star Atlas, that's, you know, web three. Star Atlas is good. One of them, graphically. You're still Star Atlas bullish, Rob. No, I'm very reserved, but it's a beautiful, beautiful sort of online space, and they've got a lot of investment behind them. Yeah, so not bad. So if you guys are looking for, you there watching the video, if you're looking for something to do more research on, not specifically invest into, there's a way to take a look at that. All right, so what else do we miss, everybody? Or was that, or was that the big stuff? We've actually gone 35 minutes here, talking about, Time does go by fast. Time does go by fast, but it was good.  And I actually, Rob, learned everything I know today from listening to you. So to be here today is almost like a deja vu moment for me. So thank you for broadening people's horizon and letting them know that there is a technology here that people should pay attention to. And I really believe that those who take a look at the metaverse and look at the technology, they can capitalize on it now today. And it's going to happen. It's inevitable. It's just a matter of, you know, how many metaverses will there be? Who's gonna be leading and what advancements have they made? So I just wanna let your viewers know to keep an eye on the metaverse. Excellent said. And Robert, anything else before we take off here? Or actually we're gonna do a little Q and A if you guys wanna stick around, I'll answer all people's questions if they have anything, but anything before we can jump into the Q and A. No, I guess not really. Just that gaming as much as gamers and, well, traditional gamers are very resistant to blockchain being integrated to the use of NFTs and stuff. The utility is undeniable and we are starting to see more and more examples of it. Particularly there's a game right now called NFL Rivals which has like three million downloads licensed by NFL, officially licensed product. It's chock full of blockchain and NFTs and P2P marketplace in the app. We're seeing lots of success stories but they are subverting crypto language a little bit more. So you gotta keep your eyes out because you'll spot more success stories in a lot of broader areas I think now. Exactly. And you know what? It's a very fast moving industry so everybody try to pay attention. Get some information as best you can and for that for, of course, for Metaverse Web 3 Different Plays, you can find, well, not yet, Sue, if I rob or rags at Token Gamer, YouTube link in the description and of course MetaMona for YouTube channel and Twitter and of course also the Token Gamer website link in the description. So everybody, Rob Meta, or MetaMona, thank you for stopping by. Now let's jump into a little bit of Q and A and we'll answer everybody's questions and best of our abilities and then we'll get out of here, enjoy the rest of the day. So let's see, CryptoJet, first time catching the live show. What did you pick a winner? Good for you. Let's see. Come to the room. Now Mimi says, welcome. Thank you for the guests. Yes, thank you guests for stopping by. Anytime. If you guys, if we get an invitation, we'll be back but let us know what you wanna hear. What do you guys want to know about the Metaverse? Do you wanna hear about projects? Do you wanna know what we like? I mean, both Rob and I are in the trenches. We're talking to founders. We're talking to builders. So let Rob know what you guys wanna learn more about and next time we come in, we can make sure we come in with what you wanna hear and see. Yeah, exactly. Let us know in the chats or of course you're watching the replay. Just put a comment below and we'll check those out. Good or bad. It doesn't matter. It's off the algorithm. Hey, recap your opinion whether Bitcoin will reach 60K again before it levels off. I've got a pretty good idea that Bitcoin will not go straight up in a vertical line. There will be some pullbacks. So that's my guesstimation. Anybody wanna chime in on this one? No, I'm not touching that. Are we? Are we 90% yes by January 10th, Rob? It's what they say, 90% by January 10th and I felt like Gary Wood and Cave because I thought he was working hardcore for the White House, but apparently there's just too much against him and maybe he will approve it. So if it does, we'll see how it works out. I'd rather be, like I said before, wrong and rich than right and poor. So let's see.  That's your... No, I didn't think it was, like for this question, I think we'll have pullbacks because we don't ever usually go up in a straight line. Even 2021, we saw pullbacks of 20%, 22, 25. But for the ETF, I didn't think it was gonna get approved at all. I thought March would just blow right by. That was my thinking, but it looks like it's going pretty good. Let's see. It will bounce off the 200 moving average for a bit. Sure. Larry Fink is here. I doubt that very much. I'm sure he's got plenty to do with his trillions of dollars than to stop by my channel. But I mean, why not? I'm sure Gary Ginzer stops in. Yeah. Oh, that would be epic. Bring him, please. Yes, Darth Mike says the best metaverse play could be a layer one, like Solana or a layer two, like Arbitrum or Matic, because if they get adopted by some of the larger, established game companies. Oh, yeah, I guess. I don't know about that one. Rob, you're... I mean, Matic maybe, no? Solana? I definitely like Polygon. I'm a very big fan of Polygon. They have the finger in a lot of pies and they do it well. Solana obviously took a big hit. They've had a lot of teething issues with network scalability, yes. Does feel like a weak link. But I agree. I think established... I think it's an interesting question what the established game companies will do when it comes to which blockchains they opt for or whether they perhaps build their own. Who knows? One of your comments said, I would love to drive a Ferrari in the metaverse. I want to let you know two things about that. Yes, you can actually write a Ferrari in the metaverse right now with Upland and Ferrari starting, I think, this month is accepting crypto.  However, Honda is also... Well, actually Honda came out and said, people were saying you can buy a Honda with crypto, but they came out and said, no, no, no, we're not accepting crypto, but you can use intermediaries to buy a Honda Nissan Mercedes. I think it's through FCF Pay. You can purchase those brands. But yes, you can pay with cryptos by your Ferrari and you can drive it in the metaverse. Sounds good. Yeah, get those vehicles and maybe at some point, maybe you'll be able to buy Tesla again with some crypto. Whenever Elon Musk decides to drop that, we'll see. And yeah. He actually was the one that started at first. He stopped it because of environmental concerns, but yeah, he was the one that started at first. Good old Elon. That should be the real indicator, just following when he tweets out. Michael says, Porsche, please. No, it says Ferrari, no, I want a Honda. Hey, it's more affordable. Why not? You could probably buy 10 of those. Web3 says, he likes Matic. I like, well, yeah, we all like Matic and not Soul. I like Soul, I like Solana. But according to Decrypt, Starless, but according to Decrypt, Starless metaverse on Soul is doing more transactions in the whole Matic chain. I guess the question then would be like, what kind of transactions are they? Are they the voting types of transactions? Are they like wash trading with NFTs? And really what actually is it? Because you can do a lot of things as far as transaction wise to game the system. Also, so just to be clear, I like Polygon and Solana and I've worked with both of them. I just, at the moment, probably prefer Polygon, but Solana has some brilliant things like Fraxel was built on Solana, which I'm a big fan of. As for Polygon's transaction numbers, it's always been a little bit unclear. And as Rob just said, Solana's numbers have often been accused of being a little bit inflated. So I don't know how much to take on that, but they're both brilliant blockchains and I'm certainly not criticizing either of those. I think they're two of the front runners. Oh, I gotta agree. I'm very bullish with, I have all eyes on Disney. I, anyone that Disney is collaborating with, I got my eyes on them. We got Polygon. We got a lot of digital collectible partnerships right now, we got Marvel partnerships. I am very, I know Rob is probably not gonna like have my back on this one, but I am really into digital collectibles right now because I think people are finally, their ears are perking, and when you say digital collectibles, because everyone loves to collect. And so I am looking at those types of projects. And those are all Disney partnerships. Yeah, and then Michael said, is there a site where we can look at that measures transactions in a real way? Well, they all measure transactions, but there's one that you can take a look at called Solana FM, but the one that I like to take a look at is this one, and for some reason it's down, and it's Solana, it's analytics that's solscan.io. And it'll separate between voting transactions and all of the transactions. And you can see that if it ever pops up, the voting transactions are usually far, far, far outnumber. And of course, voting transactions could be just anything that it is. So again, just Google Solscan, you'll find that one and go from there. Someone said, Disney have lost a little of their magic at the moment. That's true. Disney is never losing their magic, guys. That's never gonna happen. Moana, are you kidding me? Have you seen some movies I've been putting out? Just look at the box of those numbers, they're awful. So anyhow. Yes, yes, yes. Like the like button and what else? I know I'm not all in on Disney, but Nvidia, yes. Sure. No financial advice. Nvidia's one of the big seven for the S&P 500. Seven companies hold up that whole thing. Nvidia's one of them. Passive Income says all SCCDTS reviews are by January 10th, but they can't extend that date. That's true, but if we take a look, there was, whoops. Mm-hmm. Let me pull up all the deadlines, which would be under the ease. There we go. So deadlines themselves. So you have to understand there's even more than this one. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I think there's actually 10 now. Eight or 10, as far as all the different big institutions that are filing for the ETFs. And ARC with Kathy Wood, their third deadline is coming up in November, the final one is January 10th, and that's the first one. Everything after that is, again, March 15th. That's the final deadline. I always find it interesting that the government says, here's your deadline, but this is your first deadline. This is your second deadline, it's your third deadline. I did it with my kids, that'd be weird. But that's what they have, so we'll see how it works out. But I believe it's like March, is the last one that we can see. You have a good question here. I don't know me or Rob, whoever wants to address this. Linking with Nas is asking, why does so much of the public seem to be resistant to the metaverse as well as cryptocurrency and NFTs to record ownership? Great question. What can be done to change this? Rob just wrote an article on this. Rob, do you wanna hit this? Sure. So why, honestly, I have asked the question, when it comes to, I'm not always gonna talk about gaming, that is my background, but when it comes to why gamers are so resistant, I just don't know. It picked up steam very, very early that it was a scam. Before there was really much evidence on that. And there was just no going back. It got a lot of steam and it didn't really roll back on that front. What I wrote about recently, what Mona's alluding to is the resistance towards NFTs, it kind of had its time in the sun where people, I mean, you've seen what the mainstream media loves to do with everything, they build it up, they build it up, they build it up. And then when it gets to a certain point, it hits critical mass, they start tearing it down. And we saw that with NFTs, it was interesting until it wasn't to them. And then when the positive news doesn't get clicks, they start making it negative. And I think there's just this air of, it was a fad, it was a scam, because people aren't focusing on the utility of the technology and like you say, record ownership, it's just so useful to us. And it provides a solution to a problem we've had since the digital era, which is we can't prove we own anything digital. So as for how we get past it, I think, I express this in the article in two ways. Either you suggest we subvert it a little bit by not using crypto jargon. We call them digital collectibles, for example, we don't call them NFTs. I prefer to think of that as just moving the technology to where it should be in the background, doing its job. It doesn't need, NFTs don't need to be the USP of everything that uses NFTs. It should just be doing its work in the background. I mentioned on a call earlier that when I look at games, I don't care about their server architecture. I just care if the game's good. And blockchain should be working in that way. It should just be in the background, helping to move things forward and doing its job. It shouldn't be a unique selling point, front and center. Like the whole concept of an NFT game, a Web3 game, a blockchain game, really it should just be that game has blockchain and it's a game. I mean, it's either fun or it isn't and blockchain can't really change that it can just infuse the gameplay and that applies to everything, not just gaming. That would be my stance. Yeah, we should come back to this one. Oh, sorry, Mono, I need a compelling game. What's the compelling game out there? There's a few, I think. So NFL Rivals is a great example because it's just doing so, so well. We've got a lot of, there's a lot of good games coming out. Metal Core, I think is probably my favorite choice. I also, I was in the friends and family test of a mobile game called Guild of Guardians, which is a very, very big project on immutable, incredible amounts of fun. I got fully addicted to it. So I would suggest that's one of the good mobile options. NFL Rivals and Metal Core would be, if you want the big AAA shooter experience, I would put my money on that one. Got it. Mono, what are you gonna say? You know, again, to answer that question, at least from my view, I think crypto came in kicking the door, kicking the casino door open, right? And it came from that angle. And that just really brought in a plethora of bad actors. And that was our first impression to the public. And so they right away perceived crypto as a casino gambling thing, right? And slowly, I think what Rob said, we have to change the language. That is one first step that we have to make. We have to change the language. And then the other thing I wanted to say on the NFT side, I think we're also seeing, especially in the metaverse, we're also seeing this divergence in how NFTs are being viewed right now. On one hand, they're being valued for their art and history, right? Well, we're still seeing that. On the other hand, they're being valued for their community and intellectual property. A good example of that would be CryptoPunks versus Rob's example, Board Ape. CryptoPunks are being exposed to top museums and collectors. And those collectors are starting to see the value of owning the original. Remember this, some of these NFTs, and I'm not saying all of them, but some of them, there's gonna be something worth if you're holding the original, right? Like the baseball cards. Meanwhile, a project like Board Ape, Board Ape holders are creating a community. I read that more than 900 holders of apes are building businesses on top of apes. So while NFTs are a big part of the metaverse or the Web3 space, we're seeing this divergence that really differentiates the utility versus is this a piece of art or what technology is it bringing to the table? So the more defined that becomes, the more palatable and the more people will understand it. Got it. So good, well said. Here's another one from Rusconian. I'm going to see a Robin Mona's thoughts about metaverse and crypto gaming during an economic downturn. How will that be affected? Well, I'll start with us removing the term play to earn. It's currently not possible, really. There's a few games where you can sort of do it, but nothing like we saw, you know, in many ways, Axie Infinity saved parts of the Philippines during COVID where they couldn't work their normal jobs and they were making enough for Axie Infinity to put food on the tables. It was a lovely story, but people run with this play to earn narrative that it's just, it was unsustainable and it's also not really what we want for games. It became game fire, which is my most hated term in the space. I don't really know what it's getting at, but as for the metaverse, I think everything that the metaverse to me is not near anyway. I think we've got too many technological limitations for it to be something that's rolling out anytime soon. And I think it'll be a gradual thing anyway. So I don't think that's gonna interact with the economic downturn outside of perhaps investment. We've seen lower investment in metaverse projects this year, but still, I think it was 600 million in the last quarter. So it's certainly not low, but it's lower than it was. And gaming, crypto gaming, as I say, I think play to earn needs to just die. I can't think of a better way of expressing that, but crypto gaming will just become gaming and it would just run in the background. But gaming something is so important. Rob, don't you think... Question on that. Don't you think ownership remains though? Don't you think people really want to own their assets now within a game? And did they, because they really didn't before, technically, right? Does the ownership of assets remain? Yeah, well, I think it's still important to gamers, but we've now got a PR issue where it solves a problem that they had that we've kind of just been sold that that's the way it is, you know, the game shuts down, you lose access to your items and that's life. We've seen it with, particularly in the last few weeks, we've seen it with Call of Duty, we've seen it with Rocket League and they're shutting down player trading and all these things that blockchain can solve if it's allowed to solve. I think it's something that players generally will enjoy and appreciate once it's there and just working and there isn't a conversation about it. I think the hard sell is now telling people, well, if this was an NFT that fixes it, I don't think you're just gonna bang your head against the wall. I think it just needs to be shown rather than told and that's just gonna take time. Yeah, if you had a game as quality and well liked and loved as like say Fortnite or League of Legends or something like that and you put in a little, dropped in a little Web 3 action there and digital collectibles, no one would say anything because the game is fun and people wanna play it.  Who wants to grind out a game that sucks? I mean, I'm not a big gamer, but I can tell you when I play that one time, I was like, I'm not gonna talk about this on the show because it's awful. And I know some people will say, well, it's a great game. That's on you. So anyhow, that's my answer. How's God's Unchained doing Rob? Somebody was asking, how's God's Unchained doing? Do you know? Amazing is how that's doing. If you look at the trading volume for God's Unchained, go on any website where you can track NFT collections, look at God's Unchained. It is killing it at the moment. They are doing fantastic. It's a trading card game, a TCG, on the Immutable X blockchain. Very, yeah, it's doing very, very well. I sold all my back. That was a mistake, my love. What? Since somebody else is asking about security here, is there going to be privacy or security issues regarding the metaverse? Yes. God knows we've had enough issues in the crypto industry and we're having digital avatar identity or digital identity risk management is huge right now. And I think everyone, especially with the advent of with this convergence of AI right now, the biggest problem is chatbots. Nobody can tell if you're talking to a chatbot or a human. And with all the meetings, Elon and OpenAI and Chuck Schumer, they're all having, that is number one on their agenda with AI. So is it mitigated? No, it's not. It's number one. It needs to be resolved. I will tell you that some of the consent issues per metaverse case, each metaverse is dealing with it on their own. They're putting mods in the chat rooms. They're even putting chatbot mods in the chat room to moderate what's happening. Make sure everyone has consent. There's no inappropriate behavior, but digital identity security is still unresolved. All right. So how about this one from Dorothy Mike, media portrayal of NFT tech is generally monkey, JPEGs and moonboys. As soon as real assets become tradable through NFTs, like real land or assets, then they will become more accepted. Agree with that or a little off? Yeah, I do agree with that. And I think there are a few industries that are steaming ahead with doing this. Two examples, I used to work in the watch industry and plagiarism with watches, fake watches is just an unbelievable problem, particularly because the factories that would make the real watches were also legally making the fake ones. So it's a very, very messy industry and NFTs solve that problem. The other side of this coin is, I mean, just sorry, just to go back to that, that really does solve a lot of problems in a lot of industries is stopping fraudulent copies of things. I didn't realize the wine industry had such a big problem with it. But they are also doing that. And we're starting to see people do it with real estate and land as well, it's being tied in. And then of course, Nike has launched Dot Swoosh, which is giving entity counterparts to sneakers trainers that you buy. So I think, I completely agree, it is Monkey JPEGs. That is how the mainstream media do portray it. Again, because they just got bored of the story of talking about people and lots of money and so they've gone to the negative side of things. But yes, I agree. As soon as we're already tying things to NFTs, I think that is the right first step. Yes. Rightfully so too, Rob, because we didn't, there hasn't been any mainstream education.  And so the idea that an NFT technology, an NFT utility can open the door to experiences is something that I doubt, and you guys correct me if I'm wrong, that the mainstream audience understands. The idea that your ticket to a concert can be an NFT and that NFT, if you're a holder of Britney Spears NFT, which could be her photo, her poster, a digital poster of Britney Spears. Think of it as a membership, right? That NFT, the utility is that it will open the door to exclusive experiences for you and Britney Spears. Maybe you get her monthly album, special album for special listeners, or maybe you get signed autographs. So people don't know that that is a thing, right? And this idea that now artists through NFTs can have a direct relationship with their fans, mainstream audience don't understand that yet either. So it's really our own fault. We haven't really educated the audience, but absolutely going back to the question, the audience now only see NFTs as monkey pictures, but what NFTs can do for us is open doors to experiences and think of it as a membership. Yep. Well, everybody well said, we're coming up on the hour. I think that's a good place to stop it. Grid information, I want to say thank you to my guests, Mona and Rob for coming on. Again, you can find them on their socials, links are in the description. And guys, again, thanks for coming. And of course, we'll have you back at some point. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. All right, everybody. So again, thank you everybody for watching the stream. If you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. Everybody talk about it's time sensitive. That is it. So thanks everybody. Of course we will see you on the next one. Have a great day.


Learning through discussion can be a very effective way for students to consolidate their knowledge, to tease out misconceptions and misunderstandings, to defend their position and opinion, and to engage with other students. Discussion can take place in a live setting, such as in a physical classroom or on a virtual classroom, and discussion can also take place asynchronously over a certain period of time. A synchronous discussion can lead to really rich interactions between students and the lecturer. It may also help support those students who are shy or reluctant to contribute in a live discussion, because it allows them time to consider the question or the material, to craft a response, to draw on evidence and literature to support their assertions, and to help form a rich environment. The Loop Discussion Forum is a great tool to facilitate asynchronous discussion, so let's take a look at it. On my loop dashboard, I click to access one of my modules, and I locate a discussion forum, which I have taken place in week one of the module. The most popular way a discussion forum is used is to have a thread or topic, or a number of topics, into which students post a number of replies, or indeed students can create their own topics if they wish. In this example, the teacher has started one discussion topic already, and called it week one discussion thread. I can see when it was started by the lecturer, and I can also see the latest post from the student. I can see the number of replies in it, and I can choose to subscribe to the forum by clicking the toggle button. This means I will get email notifications every time someone posts in the forum. The ellipsis icon gives me some further options. I can start this discussion, so if there are a number of discussions taking place in the forum, I can choose which ones are my favourite. I can pin the discussion, so this means for both the teacher and the student, this discussion thread now sits at the very top of the discussion forum. And I can also lock this discussion, so perhaps once week one is over, I want to stop students adding to that thread so I can lock it. They can still go and read all of the replies and responses, but they cannot add any more. To access the thread, simply click on the title. The thread is displayed in a nested order, which means at the top we see the first post, which in this case was made by the teacher, setting out a prompt or a question or a task for the students to complete, and then each student clicks reply to respond to this particular prompt. And we can see some students have done this already. Not only have students responded to the initial prompt from the teacher, but students are also replying to one another. And this is how rich discussion takes place. A good discussion forum task requires a well thought out prompt or question or task for the students to complete, and it also requires facilitation from the lecturer to help keep the discussion going. So at any stage, the lecturer can come in and choose to reply to a particular post by clicking reply. A text box appears and the teacher can type their response. Discussion forums can handle more than text, however. You can attach a file, insert links, or even insert images, video and audio. In the reply field, click advanced. We now have more menu options available to us. In the text field, we can use the formatting toolbar to format our response to insert an image, an audio clip, and so on. We can use the attachment field to drag or drop an attachment for the students to read, or we can follow the button to upload it manually from our computer. The forum also has excellent management tools, and we can access those by coming out of the thread and going back to the forum, and then clicking the gear icon in the top right corner. A useful feature is the summary report. This shows a complete list of every student in the module, how many discussions they've posted, how many replies, attachments, a word count, and their date and time. This is very useful for keeping an eye on student engagement with the forum. Forums can also be graded. Forums use the same grading methods that are available in the loop assignment, such as simple direct grading, grading by rubric, or grading by a marking guide. Using a rubric or a marking guide to grade your forum activity is particularly effective for students, as they can avail of criteria-based grading, and they can receive effective feedback for their work. If you want to use a rubric, you can create one from scratch, or you can import a rubric from the site. I've now added a rubric to this discussion forum, so to begin grading students, I simply return to the forum and click grade users. I select the student in question, all of their posts are on the left, and on the right is where I set their grades. So for the first criterion, I choose a level on the rubric that I believe they have met. I can add in additional feedback if I want. Working my way through the different levels in the rubric, through the different criteria, selecting what I believe the student has achieved. Click save, and I can continue working my way through the other students. To return to the forum, click close. Another feature of the forum is the ability to view posts in a new nested form, and I can do that by going to my preferences in the top right corner, click forum preferences, and turn on the experimental nested discussion view. Click save, and when I open the thread, I can see an updated interface that strips away a lot of the buttons and menus and options, and allows me to focus on the content that the students have posted. So that is the discussion forum in loop, a fantastic tool for supporting asynchronous discussion among students that allows you to keep track of their contributions to the forum, allows you to grade their contributions if you so wish, and gives both you and students flexibility in different types of contributions. For more information, please visit the loop staff support page.


We'll be on fire, we'll be live, live.   Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique hustle. It's your boy, your CEO. And I'm Money Moses, by the way, and we create content every damn day. Man, hey man, we got the troublemaker in here today, y'all. You know, I usually don't fool with these bloggers, man. But we got a guy in here today, man, that he's been storming through the internet, man. He even had Boss Talk out there, bad saying that you went to jail. I don't know how you got that information. Check it, man. My boy Trio Talk, no peel talkers in the building. Yeah, what's up, man? What's up, man? So what's up with you, man?  Man, I'ma tell you something.   Yeah, yeah. What happened to your tattoo? You got it removed? No, it was just a henna tattoo, man. Okay. Okay. So you just trying it out. Yeah. I had to see before I get a real one, so I know how big, how I smile, I'ma get it. Yeah. When I get it, it'll be real smile, right? So that means you get another one? Yeah, right here. Why? Like this smile. So when people see me, they're gonna be like, what is that right there? Trio Talk, no peel talk, go subscribe, go follow, follow, just like that. You got a lot of shirts, but I ain't got to do it. Hey, I'ma hit them every time. I might have on another shirt that day, so I'ma just hit them with that. And in every way? Mm-hmm. Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that, man. Advertising, marketing, and something else. But Mike Tyson put something, I said, hey, nigga, thank you, Mike Tyson. No, that was a little too big. The one I had, that was a little too big. That's why I was like, hell. You went under the water with that bag. And she gonna hurt, yeah.  With my cell phone, everything. Yeah. So, I mean, let's talk about the elephant in the room, man. You've had issues with a few people, actually.  You know this here? Where we bridge the gaps. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I'm always trying to bring things together.  You niggas is from another era. So we'll start off with a Rowe Tarantino, you know.  Yeah, well, you did that. And I liked it. I was doing the verses for artists awareness. Like, I put that out there, it'll make people be like, damn.  Let me go check his page out. So I was doing it for the, for the artists, for free. No charge. So I put Rowe on there. I guess he got mad. He had tagged me in like three things before that day.  So he said, then I screen, I got all of them. Where he had on tagging me and stuff. So I tagged- He tagged me and stuff too. It's the same stuff he tagged you with. A lot of it I don't really, I don't know nothing about it. So I don't be knowing what he talking about. Yeah. Well, I think it's a lot more of his personal stuff. You know, I do people like that too though. I do certain ones that I want to see it. I make sure. So I can respect the fact that he wants me to see it. By what, I mean, I'm trying to challenge the energy. I tried to call him the day I couldn't get him. Well, I'm gonna be honest. Okay, he got on there. I put him against a T-rated done from Marsha. And he smoked his boots. So who smoked who's boots? T-rated none, smoked his boots on there. What you mean smoked?   Yeah, but it ain't over. He can come back. No, he can't. There's no big problem. I guess he took it, took it like that cause he thought I was trying to be negative. But I just, I was just strictly trying to, you know, bring awareness to the artist. And he took it the wrong way.   Oh, God. That's what I said. That's what I said. Every time when a person win, when a person lose, the winners don't ever complain. It's always the losers complaining. Who have you seen? Have you ever seen a winner complain? I'm a winner. I don't know. Exactly, exactly. But you know, I really, really love his passion and energy. And when you called that night, when he was here, and we talking, I went back, I just, I finished that video. So next week I'm probably gonna do a, I'm doing the most of all East Texas next week. So yours will come out next week. And so next week I'm showing love to East Texas. Shout out to East Texas man, home base. You know, but the thing I can say, man, you and him, man, you know, y'all seem to be having odds because you won't put him on the list either. And I don't understand. No, no, no. He's gonna be on the list. No, no, no, no. If it's music, it's gonna be here to be on the list. I mean, he told me specifically, as a matter of fact, I'm gonna read it to you. Word for word, verbatim. I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. I'm gonna put the whole thing. I'm gonna tell you the whole thing. Exactly what he said. Well, you know, people go through, but, but we're gonna try to bridge that gap. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure on the camera. I mean, but no, but we can bridge the gap though. You know, this the bridge the gap station over. Boss talk 101 bridge gaps.  See, you got to forgive. Okay, that's what he said. Forgive, forgive. He said, if you not mentioning me for a big baby promo or speaking good, stop mentioning me, bro. And I said, well, don't tag me in nothing else, nigga.  If you don't want to be on my platform, don't speak on it homie. And this ain't no tough talk. I'm just giving it to you straight up.   That's what I text. I get it, man.  I ain't Trio talking no pill talk. I have never seen, you know, I'm an innocent bystander. Okay.  Ah, man, there ain't no problem like that. Yeah, y'all got to act right. You know what I'm saying?  So, you know, I'ma get, I'ma get with Ro man. Ro listen to me. No, he need to do it himself. No, he listen to me. Just go grab him by yourself and go talk to him. Yeah, that's how it goes. As a man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  You know, I'm gonna get with him because he'll listen to me, man. Because we have a good rapport.  I ain't got no problem with him but it's just how he come at me.     Not really lately, Treal, I'ma be real. Of course, East Texas, you ain't got this big, East Texas. No, I ain't talking about just the disrespect part. You was cutting up before that.   It was a couple times. You came out with a subliminal message. You think I don't remember? It was a subliminal message you came out with about, I got it on my phone because I downloaded it.  I was like, Treal, don't, don't do that, man. What I say, man, what I say. It was before all of this. So you been gearing up and I seen it.  Yeah, like niggas don't, you gonna pay, don't, and I said, look, don't do that. Yeah, I mean, oh, yeah, now. I know what you're talking about. I remember that.  But you, you control the narratives, man.  Yeah, don't cut something here. We ain't doing that no more. But you know what I'm saying? They'll get on there and they'll complain. Like, they'll say, oh, he ain't never posted my stuff. Have you spent some money with me? Yeah, it's time they don't even be following. That's what makes me mad. Yeah, I see that. You want me to post it, but you don't even follow me. No, I see that a lot. Yeah, that's crazy. I see that a lot, but again, your job, the way you roll out here is you're opening in the eyes of many and there are certain things you're gonna report on.  You're gonna be like, man, let me say something to the family or something, man. So you love what you do. Yeah, I don't got no problem with nobody. I ain't got no problem with nobody, man. Don't take nothing that post-person. You know what I'm saying? It's just all, it's all. Oh, but you fly. Entertainment. Oh, you fly. That's my job. I don't make the news or report the news. Shout out to the mother report. Let me just ask you this, cause I see, and I don't wanna go too far in detail, but I seen you the other night, cause it's you and I follow you. You would lean back on somebody's thing with about eight or nine people, 10 or 12 people on it, talking about something by paperwork party like y'all dealing with federal stuff. I don't know what that was. I was on Tune. Tune had a, he was live on YouTube. And he just invited the bloggers up and we was under just, he was having the paperwork party. Well, he wasn't having the paperwork party. You know what that is? Yeah, that's like a, well, that's right. I don't know what that was y'all was doing. Most of the time, paperwork party for when somebody snitches. That's right. Yeah, but this was Tune. I had never seen nothing like it. He had got Dallas Global LLC and Ratchet TV LLC. You know, he, I guess he purchased them. I guess they didn't have it.  I'm here to listen. You know how I am. You've been knowing me a long time. I'm always trying to bring people together.  I love all of y'all. But boy, y'all, y'all got to, Hey, y'all got, you listen, man. Y'all got a lot going on, man. Real talk, man. And at the end of the day, you know, Hey man, you gotta be safe out here, bro. Man, I'll be out the way. I don't be, like I said, I don't got no problem with nobody, but I ain't, I ain't, I ain't turned down no smoke either. What made him go by? Yeah, I know you ain't turned down no smoke. You know what I mean? What made him go by? What made him go by what? He said, I don't know, I don't know. He said, he just said, he owned Dallas Globe, and he owned Ratchet TV, and he pulled up the paperwork with the LLCs, and he showed it. Well, how did you learn to get on there? How did you get on the whole talk? Instagram. That he just invited you? Yeah, he put on there, all bloggers come over there. He announced it before he went on there. Well, y'all got, y'all got something else going, man, but I like it. Hey, tell him to put me on, I want to see you too. No, no. I just want to hear it. I just want to hear about it. That's all. I'm on it. But the thing I can tell you, man, is you, you go, you definitely listen to me and hear me good on this. You guys see y'all younger than me. You know what I'm saying? They younger than me. Yeah, I know that. I'm looking at all this. I'm looking at the stair steps and all that. But the thing is, man, I'm different, man. Like I said, I want to see the city come together. I'm going to keep preaching that, even though if y'all keep doing what- Oh, no, no, it ain't, that's the thing, man. That's the thing. Just cause you from East Texas don't mean nobody got, from East Texas got a list of your memes. No, no, no, I'm not talking about just East Texas. I'm talking about just a whole, you know, if trouble come my way, I try to turn it into a positive. I'm being real. Me too.  I've seen a lot of people, you know, go through things to where some didn't make it out. And so all I'm saying here, when I see that, my job is to say, hey, I'll articulate a positive and try to- But usually I don't even be posting beef in them, but I'm like I said- Oh, but lately, lately you've been a, you've been a- I mean, I'm just going to say this, and I'm just keeping 100. Ain't nobody in a disfigured state. Listen, man, this, that's the rain, that's the rain, you know, I ain't got him on the show yet, but I've been asking him to come on the show ever since that happened because I'm the bridge, you know what I'm saying? We can come together. You can get him up here and I'll come too. I'm talking about that. And we can get her and we can talk about that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I say that is because I think he just was, cause he didn't seem like he had a lot of emphasis behind what he was saying. He might have been the wrong way, but something like I said. He just kind of not that way. I think he said it the wrong way. Yeah, he said it the wrong way. Like if he were to say, you know, I just don't have faith in the rappers down there because the stuff that they doing, like he said the DJs and the album don't support him, he should have just said them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He really, like I think it just came out a little wrong. Yeah. But at the end of the day, we can fix it. Yeah, it can be fixed. Like, yeah. Like I said, I love what he brought to the table when he was dealing with mode three. I know that he worked hard. He got good work ethics, bro. And at the end of the day, he belonged in the game cause everybody, he wouldn't have been there if he didn't belong, you know? And so, you know, shout out to Prophecy too. He'd be doing a lot of work. And that's my problem. Like that's my play up. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.   Yeah. Yeah, I do too. I mean, It can't be none of that. It just really just, you ain't from the district he sticks it. I feel it. Are you right? What, what, what would Pimp C do? Like them little things that say, what would Pimp C do? Like what would he do if this was his situation? Well, he'll first hit, you know, you know, he the type of guy listen, man.  You know, he gonna give you a couple of calls. So Trill, you gotta give him a couple of calls.  And I'm like, rip.  Man, you was supposed to. No, you were. I was. I was supposed to tell you why he's supposed to. No, he wasn't. I'm gonna tell you why. Thank you. Thank you. I was just gonna say. If I was sitting and nobody was sitting and it'd been like. I don't want to say. It'd been like, ah, he just, he just did. He just did the couch. They ain't nothing to know. I don't want to say what I really want to say cause I know you're gonna have a rebuttal. I don't want to say that you really could have pulled him to the side, but then he did it in a public, for a while or so. If you, if you disrespect me in the public eye, correct it in the public eye. Yeah. And I think, I think, like I said, I think if you talk with, well, I'm gonna try to get it. I'm actually after him to get him on the show on a couple of days. Yeah, I come. He can call me on the phone. You can FaceTime me, whatever. You know what I'm gonna call, man. Yeah, yeah. But the thing I can tell you, man, is you putting in that work. Let's get, let's get to what really go down. Yeah. You putting in that work. Oh, you're supposed to. You put, you putting in that work, period. And at the end of the day, while you putting in all that work, you got to hear me on this, man. People, you getting stronger too. Yeah. I've been watching you, and you don't stop posting. I don't. I post all through the night. It really just depends. Sometime I might not post all day, but then I post all night.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like what's going on?  When something going on, I'll be posting it all through the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you be afraid not to be going on? That's what I be trying to figure out. Like you like the news, nigga. I'll be, you gotta be searching, researching. Like I heard something happen. Like somebody might say something like, oh, I heard such a chapter.   I go look for it. Then when I find it, boom, I'ma get in there. Okay, but let's talk about this. Who's the one in these texts is gaining, going in there right now? I'm just gonna say that. What artist? You know, let's get to the music. You know, that's what I love. What, okay. Like I heard Smitty Hawkins last time and Smooty was going in and C.C.O.P. You know, you didn't really mention it. No, and C.C.O.P. You didn't really mention it. And I'll admit that I was slow. I was late on C.C.O.P. I'm gonna tell you though, I had heard C.C.O.P. though.  I don't know. Who is this dude? I don't know. Twan Visuals, they got like over 200,000 views. Like, and I ain't never heard of him. So I went and listened to it. I was like, ah, he jamming. Then my little girl was like. Who do you appeal to a different kind? Yeah, my little girl. My little, yeah. They love him. She said, daddy, yo, you put C.C.O.P. on your page. He come in and I was like, yeah. He's from East Texas. She was like, no, I'm like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my daughter like Terry Cherry. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, and there's certain ones that stick out. So, but C.C.O.P. is one of them. In Guadalupe, he was just on the show. Oh, yeah, Guadalupe, true.  That L.D., man, that nigga will hold on. I told you. I went and checked it out. I said, man, Trill Talk was right. That thing's going in. I like his music. Yeah, he a Texan nigga. I like it. I like it. But it's, it's, it's, it's, but it's, it's, he's, that music coming back. I'm just saying like that. Yeah, it's coming back. Clipping back around again.  You can see it too. Mm-hmm. That's what's coming. He might be the type of R.B. No, he like rapping, but he rapping real rap. Like, real rap, like real scenarios, what's going on with storytelling, really. Oh, yeah, he wanted him here. He lyrical, but he, you know what I'm saying? He, he can rap. I mean, Mode 3 was kind of doing that in the scene. Yeah, he was. Yeah, yes he was. He was storytelling.   Yeah, he was storytelling good. He's telling good stories. I'm talking about the taking the church and stuff like that. He's telling good stories. Everything he's saying. You see what I'm saying? That was a good, that was a, that was a good song. So, you know, so what, what is, what is your aim? What is your aim? To put East Texas on, to put all I got to do, I don't, I just want to see East Texas get recognition like everywhere else kid. Okay. Quit trying to treat us like we the country bumpkins and we the outsiders, you know, all that kind of stuff. Cause like I said, at the end of the day, they get their money down there. They get a lot of money down there. Yeah, but with no kill, you make it stronger. I think it's motivation. Yeah, but you got dudes be rapping. You only got a short window when they come to rap. Like when you a certain age, you rapping, you got a little window. So you got to get it right then. You ain't got time to procrastinate and go through all this extra stuff when you shouldn't have to. When you got dudes coming down here that's on, on and they doing shows and they ain't like, they ain't even saying nothing. They don't like, if I was a rapper, when I go to do shows, first thing I do is be like, who the hottest artists in this area? You know what I'm saying? Let me hear some music from down here. You know what I'm saying? I want to hear y'all music. And then after that, I will go from there. They don't even do that. Yeah. Well, let's talk about the, the, the big elephant in the room as I always say. Let's talk about how the hell I ended up number. What was that eight? Number eight. Yeah. And my vision was better than everybody. And I spent more on my cameras and everybody. No, I'm trying to figure out how I ended up. Why? And then if I put you to the top, you ain't got nowhere to go. Dallas. You know what I'm saying? I know you got room to go. Dallas Global was on here. He said he didn't really agree with the lid. He said, he told me that. He had already told me that. But at the end of the day, like I said, it's my opinion. So how can you get mad at my opinion? Well, I don't think it's really mad at everybody.  I'm a stone went on Instagram. Yeah, he did a little rant and all that. Yeah. What, what, what? Can I ask you something, man?  Cause I just be watching stuff that's going on. And you feel like you want to rate it? Mm-hmm. What gives you the audacity? What gives you the boldness to rate these people like this? I ain't capping it all, but I am the mouth of East Texas. That's a good thing though. I am the mouth of East Texas. The mouth sound like the gatekeeper. Shout out to Mogul Media.  So, so, and he coming Wednesday. Oh yeah. Yeah.  And I'm going to tell you something. Your list, I don't get upset about it cause I love it. Cause I, it's like spore in a boxing. It's like, I got to do Bella. That's what it's supposed to do. It's supposed to make you be like, well, okay. I'm going to do Bella. I got to do Bella. I'm going to be number two next time. Yeah. I got to get my numbers up. That's how you know we're doing it for the wrong reasons. We knew. I'm going to be honest with you. You get mad cause you're in the top being you running for the wrong reasons. We really knew. And I'm going to tell you something. I've been saying this a lot lately. I've been saying that everybody to me, everybody kind of follows the style of Sean Cotton. Yeah. And, but a lot of people don't give him the homage that he deserves. Oh yeah. I'm being real. I see everybody going behind. I know it. That's a fact. Yeah. And if anybody come like this, you know you got to pay homage to East.  And that's what they do. That's what they're supposed to do. But they won't. They're going to be quiet about it. They ain't be currying about it. Cause at the end they're going to, if you do what you keep doing, what you're doing at the end, they're going to be coming hollering at you. Hey man, can I get on your show? Yeah. Yeah. Just working man. But then it ain't going to be able to. No, it's really going to be tough. Yeah.  You know, we got people that's coming in, flying in and showing love to the platform. It'd be disrespectful to them. If they show that they was real and the fake ones decided after they see the real ones on here, I want to come there. Yeah. What you think about that? No, I feel about that. They're not coming. I don't care how they feel. You don't want to come there. You get mad at me.  That's what I be saying. My most, how did you feel when Trill talk? You seen your face on that picture? Cause you know, I didn't know how he was going to pull it up like that. True. You know, he pull it up like, I didn't know it was coming.  Who called? You. You called me like 30 seconds after it came to my phone. I've been here like, oh no.  No, I'm like, what the? I'm like, I'm not looked at in my picture pop.   I'm not, I'm like, man, then he called me and he was like, oh, all right, cool. Yeah. I ain't know who it was. Yeah, yeah, I say, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, they got him. Yeah. And then it.  No, he was in jail. He was in jail. Look at him, man. He always do me. He always do me. I don't know what he put on blade. That's nothing new. You know what? He went back after that. I'm trying to find the mug shot so I can send it to you. I already told him.  All promotion is good promotion. It's cool. I just felt like, you know, that day Sean Cobham was coming on. I had talked to Money Moser. We got a show about it. We talked about it. It was coming. But it was like, okay, he was on the phone with me when the police pulled down on him. Him and me and my brother on three way with him. He like, they got the gun. I'm like, man. I said, hey man, chill. Chill. Don't move. Who I'm saying to? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know. I know, sir. If I were to stay in that car, I'd say that probably would get something to me. That was a shot. Man, I got out to call myself. Yes, sir. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's not white. Man, listen. Mike Yelp said, he said, when mixers get stopped, they be like, yes.   They already be out there back there.  Niggas being out there, they be trying to parry and they spray and they spray out. Well, these niggas, these niggas got stuff in the car. That's what the problem is. They're crazy. White folks ain't got nothing but some, you know, salad in there. But the black folks? I mean, this guy, I think it was you that said, you know what he told me? What's that? It's legal in other places. It's legal in other states. It's legal in other states. It should be legal in other states. I get it, but it's not. But listen, they said, they made a whole little thing. They said, if it's under two ounces and all that, they gonna let you, but you know what, they're still gonna write that ticket. But listen though, y'all gotta understand, it's, what did he tell me? He was like, it's qualification sport. So if you got any charge, you can't get that? No, you can, but it's like, you can't have a, I don't wanna say what I had. Yeah, what he had was heavy, man. Well, it wasn't heavy. It wasn't, man. It was real heavy, man. I can tell you, I had that. No, no, don't, don't do it. You can't talk about the case, man. You can't do it. I never told him. They watch Facebook. No, but listen. They watch Instagram. Listen, in this case, it's gonna get dropped because I went to, well, I went to them today and they already told him, so I'm not worried about it. Which one of them? The one you talking about, no, I got four, but damn, two of them can drop. How many you got? Four. In two different counties? No, I got three in Dallas and one in Rockwell. Man, you a gangster. I'm not a gangster. I just live like me. I just do what I always do. You just do what you tell me. But you know what? I'm gonna tell you something about my co-host, man. And this has been going on for years with me and him. That's why I love this cat because he lied to me all the time. He said, I don't, I don't listen. I say, what you doing? I said, what you doing? He said, I ain't doing nothing, man. Next thing, you know, I'm getting a call from the jail and stuff. Thank you. You can't do nothing. See how crazy it is? Yeah.  Man, you don't think the police be arresting me for nothing? Thank you. How many times they gonna arrest you? Man, I'll tell you, if a person riding around with some weed in a car, you need to leave them alone. Nine times a 10, they happy and they enjoying their day. Thank you. They don't understand us. You got to understand us. They don't understand us. You know what you're the worst, you're the worst person to do. No, that's right. That's a blogger. Don't listen to him. That's right. You understand, listen. Man, listen, man. Put that stuff up. If the law ain't in your favor, go to, go to, go to, when we went to LA or Vegas, didn't I get you something? Yeah. When I was in LA. Listen, listen. I want you to understand this. Listen to understand this.  Listen. We sent him to get pulled over.  We know about never over those, but they drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes, honest of kill you. Who I was lost, they drank alcohol, they go to the bar in LA. I really put me up and tell me they gonna give me a ticket for cigarettes, for my cigarettes in LA. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Me too.  I'm gonna be real with y'all.  Let me try to set this up right. Y'all better, listen, listen. Y'all better mind. Mind who? These authority figures, man. Oh, they supposed to protect and serve. You know what? But when you got stopped. He shows, sounds like a samba and tap dance. Bro, he got stopped. Listen, bro, I'm tired of seeing our black people get killed, man. No, I agree with that. I agree with that.  So this bar was in a serious situation out there. And where he was at, they don't play and he know it. And I'm like, well, how did he go over there? It was my fault. See? There it is. It was my fault. Hey, it might not have been his fault. What happened? Tell me why it wasn't your fault. Because I told you, man, listen, my girl had told me the night before she was like, we're going, we're going somewhere in the morning. But then you had called me and told me that we can do the interview with you. Yeah, I said, I'm kind of in there and toss. So I'm like, yes, I needed the interview to be here for that one. So I was like, well, she never told me what I was like, well, so what are we going in? What area are we going in? She never said nothing. So I was like, I'll follow you. So if I don't like what we're doing or if it ain't important, I'm going. Yes, that's what happened. So we get on the highway and we stand right there. We get on the highway instead of taking 30 to Dallas. We took 30 tests of camera.  You go out the wrong way. Wrong way, wrong way. I was like, when that happened, I started sweating. I got caught on the rockwalk. It took the seats out the car, everything.  Made us put it back in the car. Yeah, that's crazy.  We already smoked the weed and ain't no weed. They don't care. You know, we don't find, if I find the seed, we're going to lock you up, that's what I'm saying. They ain't find nothing.  We got to put these seats back in the Lincoln and all that. That's what they do. That's how they get you. They don't find nothing. They're going to make you pay by putting everything. They're going to take everything out and put everything out. My brother's to make it back home. Yeah, yeah, for real. Period. I want my son to make, my son called me one night. He had a flat in Kent and it was about three a.m. in the morning. I would throw them mug on the floor before I pulled over. I wanted to pull it over. And I told him, I said, what are you doing in Kent? And he was like, man, you don't come and get me out. So I put my clothes on. What really tripped me out was this homeboy came through out of the blue and picked him up at 3.30 or so.  I got nothing to do with you. Well, you needed it. Y'all knew it. I got nothing to do with you. You caught me at 3.30. No, you do it because you. Oh, so you caught me. I'm on there. I'm coming. I think when you got all them checks you had coming in, I don't know. You was running the Louisiana so much. No, see, that's what you're on, Ro. That's what you're on.  I was getting the checks going in one row. Oh, you was getting the checks going in one row. I was getting the checks going in one row. Wow. And coming back with more money. Well, I just know you was running. I say, look, man. That's when I was telling you I wasn't doing nothing. When I really was. I was really doing that the most. Boy, I had so much. You see what I'm saying. Man, I had so much. You see what I got to deal with? Every time I listen, every time I hit the highway, I had at least over a $10,000 worth of stuff in my car. See what I mean? Y'all crazy, man. What? I don't do that. I'm not Vlad, bro. I'm not Vlad. I'm not Vlad. Let it be known. I am just a weed smoker. Listen, man. I'm not Vlad, bro. I don't want to know the insides. I'm not telling you the insides. I'm just telling you what. I just had that one stuff in the car. But then I was doing it with no tag. My tag was out and everything. I had no tag, no insurance or anything. See, I'm telling you, I'm not going to legal state. I don't smoke until I go to a legal state. Then I smoke. And that's what it's supposed to be, guys. No. What states are legal that you go to? Vegas, Atlanta, Georgia. Vegas, Atlanta, California. Denver, Colorado, you know, Chicago. Oklahoma. Oklahoma legal, yeah. So why do they smoke? Los Angeles now. Know what I mean? Man, you can go to Los Angeles right now when you get with the 20. Boy, no. It's a dispensary to the right. Listing to me. No. You try if you want to. So why do I got that sign? You try if you want to. It pump faking on you. Try if you want to.  I would have been down there. Whatever you talking to, I'm down there. Like you say, I always been down there. I want to be down there. I got the sign up there. Man, go out if you want to. There's probably a trap for you. Well, I'm going to tell you like this, man. Hold on, hold on, actually. What area is it in? Right there before you get out of Texas. Right there from Longview and Washington right there. When you cross over there to Greenwood right there, it's a sign and say. Now, what area is that? Dispensary port. What area is that in your head? What area is that in my head? No, that's the Whiteford area. Yeah, yeah. You know it. Exactly. So I'm going to get some weed from there if I'm going to smoke. I don't know if you want to sit in that little park. So you got a little roadside park. You can just pull over and just. I asked them like I asked them at the dispensary in California. So I can go outside and smoke this right now. So you tell them I can smoke this right now. See, that's different. You can.  You can do it. They're changing. It's going to change here in Texas. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. So what do you foresee? Like what do you want to see with Trill Talk and OPL Talk coming up? Like what would you want to see it to be within the next six months? The biggest blogger in Texas. So you're saying that, not six months, but how are you playing the scale to get there? By January, I should be the biggest blogger in Texas. I got the most real followers. Well, I ain't going to say it because some people do got real followers, but I got all, everything I do is authentic, real followers, real subscribers, all that stuff, real views, real like it.  You ain't going to get no bots looking at you. Okay.  Okay, yeah. Why did you say Chinese people? Well, that's what it be. You want me to show you. It's going to be Chinese people the whole time, mother. It's going to be Chinese people the whole time. It's overseas money. Yeah. No, but it don't be real. It don't be real pages. It'd be fake pages. Now let's talk about that. Since we let's talk about it. Let's talk about these fake views. Let's talk about these fake views. Okay.  Okay. How do you think that'll benefit somebody? Well, I'm going to be honest with you. Everybody does it. Yeah, but how do you- I'm not even dragging all of it. They are already benefiting. It's just a look for them. You know, they are already in it. But if you trying to get in the game, them fake likes and fake views is not going to help you. Think about it. You got a million fake people looking at you. Okay. Perfect example. When T-Ray done and Roe was going to get to see each other. The next day T-Ray put on there like he had fake followers. About time I wrote with fake followers and stuff. So look at it like this. Okay. T-Ray went against him. T-Ray got 11,000 followers. Roe got 20,000 followers. They going against each other. If Roe really got 20,000 followers, real 20,000 followers, when he posted on his line, if he were to share it, he would have had that many people vote. You know- Maybe didn't share it. Either way it go. I tagged him. Man, them fake views is not going to help you.  Well, I'm just saying, you know- But it look good. They ain't told me. It just look good. That's it. That's how I want it to look good. So if you get 50 million views on something, you would expect to be able to do a show somewhere and pack it out, right? Yeah. So how is if you got 50 million fake views, you going to do a show and nobody- Roe's not the only one in these texts. No, I'm not saying- I'm not saying- And that's a legend. You don't know it's a legend. No, it's a legend. I don't say it's a legend. But I'm saying fake views is like, that's retarded to me. But- You want to pay for fake views? Yes, I do.   I don't like people.  I'm talking about if you're trying to get on- I don't like people. I want fake views.  Yup. You in fake, you in bad look. Cause you really just putting out a facade and people thinking, he hot like this, but you really not. And it's, I think it's like a, what you call it?  Yeah. Like they got low self-esteem. Man, I only got 5,500 followers or whatever. I need to make myself look good. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I gotta do it. Walk outside and start talking. Yeah. You walk outside and start talking and get people attention. You're going to get the followers up. You can grow that followers, tell them to do it yourself. I do it all the time with us. Well, the thing I can say to y'all is, man, you know, I don't know this new game. I do know that people want to equate their craft to money. And that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to flip. We're trying to make money out of it. Fake views ain't going to generate no money. Well, it could. You might could trick somebody in the thing. You too, take them down every year. Every year at a certain time, they're going to take it. They're going to flag every fake view you got on there. Well, I just, I just say, man, don't, don't accuse somebody or something that they don't. No, I have no control over who's them. But it's something to put ads and all kinds of stuff on there. No, ads and stuff like that. That's completely different. Okay. That's completely different. To the sponsorship. So that's just giving you more looks. So people looking at it. So if they like, they like it. That's a real life. But fake views, that's just nobody looking at you, just putting a change in the number up there. That's how I was doing it. Didn't even have comments. How many people do you think doing all fake fake? Us much people. And I think it should be a deal to fake views and fake likes. East Texas. I really don't know. No, no, no. You know. I'm going to say probably about, I know probably about a couple people probably doing it. I just really don't know. I know a couple. No, it's a couple. How you doing? I don't know. I ain't never thought I'd even want to do it. I want the fake views. You ain't doing them on my platform. I don't want them real. No, but that's what I'm saying. No, I ain't gonna do that. That it just ain't going to benefit you if you're on the come up. Yeah. It ain't going to benefit you. Why do you take it so personal? Because do you feel like they cheating? Because that's why you niggas come out. Because it's, you got to level the playing ground. Like, um.  No, but listen to that. I don't ever deal with these fake views. They only plan themselves. Yeah, they is. They only plan themselves though. Exactly. I don't want to deal with these fake views. Look, I'm telling you right now. I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you specifically why. That's why you come at them. I do it because, okay. You have a dude over here with 20,000, he might have a me, uh, say 300,000 views on a song and they fake. This other dude over here got 5,000 views and they all real. People really tapped in here. Okay, this person over here with all of them views is gonna try to, he gonna try to clown him for having 5,000 views when yours ain't even real. If you, if you didn't buy them views, you would have less views than that. You know what I'm saying? What do you, what do you? You're like, you would look on people interview. I got you. And you gonna see on there, you gonna see people say, like, it might be an interview. Like say this interview right here. When you get on YouTube, if you was buying fake views and comments and stuff, it'd be on there, that'd be up under a great singing song. This ain't even a song, it's an interview. So you know that's a fake view. Let me ask you, okay, I got a question for you. What's that? Would you ever, like if a person's coming to you and be like, hey, true, hey, true talk, Pia, I've been doing fake views, man. And I want to change. I'm gonna tell you. No, no, no, no, wait, I want to change.  I help you. No, listen. And yeah, and I want, you know, I really don't want to be, cause I've been sucker punched, man. Somebody showed me this and I didn't really, I don't want to be like this. This is watering it down, that's what it is. So what do you, what are you gonna do? I'm gonna tell them, yeah, first, first, we got to get rid of all these fakes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Cause if you, if you jumping like that, you should be able to start your new Instagram or Facebook. Just like that, cause they know you are real.   You don't know who real and who fake. You just got all these fake followers on there. I get it. Yeah. I don't even look at them. All I'm saying is cause, cause you, I look at the solution part of it. And we have to change, we have to change the narrative to help people.  They're gonna have to cancel. And they're gonna have to start doing it.  Report them to Trial Talk, No Peel Talk. And I will try my best to get to the bottom of it. Cause we need to get rid of them fake views. And we need real organic stuff coming out of East Texas. Cause that's what it is in East Texas. We real organic. And you know, I am the mouth of East Texas. And this is what we're going to do. Moving forward, we're going to be all organic from East Texas. Check it, y'all. Check it, man. If anybody, look, look, and if anybody want to talk to him in private, you can call him or you can DM him and he'll talk to you about your views. And he'll try to help you to figure it out. You gonna let me figure it out? Yeah. I need some views. I got number 200. See, I don't know how to do the fake ones. You said you want the fake ones. No. I think I got 200 real ones. I don't know they real. Something like you fake. I don't know. I don't buy them though. So you didn't give me the hottest, hottest new artist down there. Oh, okay, okay. It ain't, it ain't just. Your opinion. I respect your opinion. I'm gonna tell you a lot of them. Who was the hottest new artist? New Shrivo, he hard. The hottest new artist, I don't know how to tell the one. Okay. You got Katie, AKA Flame, hard. Okay. ID 300, hard. You got Kemp, nowhere, he hard. Yeah, we do have an ID on the list. You got Journey, she hard. Okay. You know what I'm saying? You got who else out of these ticks? You got PGC, Dada from Lufkin. Lufkin got a whole different scene. Cause like, you know, you don't really see Lufkin, but I would say Lufkin got a lot of high rappers right now. Well, I'm gonna tell you something, Trill. Anytime you in the area and we can sit down and talk about things. Let's make sure we do it.  You know what I'm saying? I'm watching all the stuff that's going on down there.  Even you and Rain, you know what I'm saying? We're gonna try to put this thing together first. Yeah.  You should better patch it up with anybody else. Yeah. Like I said, he ain't, I think he just kind of spoke out of turn. You know, I don't think you really meant much by it. If you don't care about these tics, don't speak on it. I don't think he, I don't think it's that he don't care about it. It's just he don't really probably tune and tap into it. I think that's what he was trying to say.  We got one more statement. Okay. Give me, I want somebody to give me 10 of the best rappers from DFW and 10 of the best rappers from Houston and they put them up against the 10 best rappers in East Tics and I promise we'll dog them out. Let's put it together. We'll dog them out. Let's put it together. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. No, no about that. I don't know about that. Hey, you don't know about that. That's a lot of, you can't just say that. I mean it. And I stand on it. Do you know how much heat up here in Dallas? Yeah, and I know how much heat down there. Like I love Dallas rappers. I love Houston and everything, but I promise you, East Tics, you know what I'm saying? I'm from East Tics, but I would make that statement. I will. Because I guess you tune in to the music a little more. And it's real talk, no pill talk. That boy, that boy serious about East Tics. I'm gonna get all young niggas in school. You go get it. You go down there and take care of business. I know I can. That's easy. That's easy. He's teen. I got some underground people that ain't even got to worry about. And you can take his teen out. Yes, I guarantee you can put these young niggas in any situation or category, and they're gonna bubble for probably anybody. I ain't gonna say for anybody. Okay, get your teen in, Trio. Yeah, we're gonna get teen in. Get your teen in, Trio. I see him all the time. And we're gonna do a versus on, we're gonna do a versus on my storyline. Get your teen in, Trio. And on y'all's storyline. Jackie, get your teen in, Trio. Trio talking on pill talk. Hey, I got some milk though. You know, Seven of Grey and all them niggas up here, man. Yeah, we got some lyrics to stay in there. Hey, who in here do it?  What? Facts, yeah, he's Seven of Grey up facts. You know what, come on this platform, you be starring stuff, cause I don't know about that.  And I'm like, all these 300 is a problem. I don't know. What rap in Dallas, what name female rap in Dallas that can mess with females in East Texas? Toy. Toy you. Toy, see, she just like got the, Erica Banks nigga, I'm rivaling with Banks, y'all. Ms. Forte ate up, Ms. Forte ate up. No, no, Erica Banks. Jernya ate up. Erica Banks.   I'm telling you, Erica can rap y'all. Did you see the East Texas female ciphers? I see them. Yeah, and they all hollered on her. They hollered, but Erica Banks then did one out here, hunnig XO and all of them, and XO. XO gets texed, that's cheating, they cheating. See that, I already trying to steal from down there. See what I'm saying? I ain't trying to steal.  They trying to get, but why they trying to get XO? What you saying, weep, nigga? You from Los Angeles? Yeah, you from Los Angeles. We saying, I mean, that was right there.   Check it, man. You know, I can do that too. I'm gonna cut this down.  Hey, what you need to do is bring your order, bring your order to Wefist in Houston on 31st. Oh, and he used to, is this what we're gonna square it up? Let me see, let me see, now I'll redo it on the page. No, I'm saying though, like, we got to us a big old pool party, but it's like concerts and everything going on, why it's going on. I know it's a lot of competition in music, man.   Oh yeah, I know that's your top guy.  Man, y'all talking about the people that's XO already known. What about the people that's not known? That I know about. That's cool, bring them too, they can get some smoke. They can get it too. We ain't dodging no smoke in these tics.  I just want all of them to get exposed. You're gonna see it. That's the whole thing. That's the whole thing. That's why I was, hold on, let me say this. I was thinking about this, like I thought about this the other day. I was like, why don't we just get local artists from different spots or different places. And do an oldest show. No, not a show. Do a listening party for them. Thanks. Like, just like. We could do it right here? No, yeah, we can. Cause you don't really need that many people. No, you don't. But it's like, I want to do like at least three, three different artists to tour out to where and you can put on a bottle, talk about whatever and let it go from there. But true, we enjoy you for coming on the show, man. We definitely love you, your family. But yeah, man, I don't know about that 10. Get your 10, nigga. I got my E-60s 10 and I promise you, I got 10 that's gonna spin, spin, spin. I guarantee, it could probably go 5-5. Probably, it could be even. Yeah, it's some heat out here, man. Yeah. I'm talking about the Houston Dallas. Oh, yeah, it is. I gotta do my phone over there. I forgot to do a name. And he goes so hard. He went in and freestyled a song and he wrote it down. Like literally just went in there just like, wow. It's like the Touching Brothers. No, he not punching in. This nigga not punching in, he just go. Oh, Katie, do that. Like I'm like, how did he do this? And he's hard, but he don't take it serious. Wow. Like he's hard. He don't take it serious, though. Well, I tell you, man, I'm gonna keep an ear to the ground. Definitely gonna be trying to see what you got going on. Thank you so much for supporting me and sending me stuff and educating me because I don't be up on it like that. And when you see me, so I'll be like, what? What? I don't be knowing what that got, man. I'm about to go cheat. Yeah, man. Appreciate you, man. Appreciate you, man. Hey, man, check it, man. This is another great segment of Boss Talk 101.


Hey, I'm going to show you this really cool whiteboard program that is replacing Jamboard. And we're just going to play around in it today because there's no way you can do a how-to. It would be like 400 videos. So I'm just going to show you how Fig Jam is replacing Jamboard in Google Meet and other things. And it is absolutely awesome. The also good news is it is free for all educators forever. It always will be. And that is great because the number of tools that this whiteboard, I want to call it more than it's like it's an endless canvas. It is amazing. So I'm just going to show you some things you can do with it. There will always be more that I'm not going to show you because this is an absolutely amazing tool. So once you make your account and you'll want to go to figma.com slash education. So you want to make sure you get a verified educator account because then you get all the toys and all the abilities to it. It does have to be an education account to do that. But once you're set, you are dialed in and this thing is awesome. So this is my dashboard, kind of my stuff. And you can set up teams and there's lots of things. But I'm just going to show you how the board itself works so you get a kind of an overview of what it is. So we're going to play and we're going to make a create a brand new one. If I go up to the top up here that says add a Fig Jamboard, this purple button, I'm going to click it and it's a blank white screen. And what I kind of like is it gives you some ideas like, ah, what do you want to do? Do you want to make a brainstorming? So it'll give you suggestions of where to start. So you don't have to start with just this completely blank one. You can go to any one of these templates and go ahead and jump in. So I'll let you play with the templates. I'm going to go ahead and get rid of that. The things you need to see first is it is nothing but a blank screen. And down here are all your toolbars and that's all we're going to play with today. I'm just going to kind of poke around a little bit to kind of show you what you can do. So you've got your normal cursor. That's where you can point things out. You've got a hand that'll help you drag and move things a little bit. So if I don't know if you can tell, it's kind of hard to see, but I'm moving my canvas around. The best part about this is it is endless. So I could drag forever in one direction, which is kind of cool. It's different than Jamboard where it was a screen or a slide at a time. This is just an infinite thing, and you'll see how we'll move that around a little bit. The first thing you do need to consider is right up here in this top corner, 100 percent means that I'm zoomed in at full screen. I tend to kind of go to about 50 percent and you'll see why it gives you a little more space. It kind of backs away so you can see more. So that's kind of the first thing you can set how close you want to be to it. I'm going to go down here towards the bottom and kind of play with some of these tools. So you have your pen. If I click on it, I have my marker and I can choose a color. So let's just do red and I can draw. I can change my size. So I mean typical kind of whiteboard tools. I have a highlighter, which is really great when you're trying to highlight some text so you can still see through it. This one's fun, your washi tape. So it's kind of like a little, it's like a piece of scotch tape. I just click and drag, but what's really cool about that is I can change the pattern and even cooler is you can upload your own images. So if I went to my desktop, to my files, to me, to any picture of me, I've got a few here. Now when I do my washi tape, they're pictures of me. So you can have students in there, you can have your school logo. It's just kind of cool. Kind of a fun thing to make borders and basically it's just like little pieces of tape. It's kind of cool.  You can also hold and select all kinds of stuff there at once. So anyhow, I mean typical normal tools. You also have post-it notes and these are like my favorite things. So when I click it, I can type anything I want and it has my name so I know who did it. Pretty slick.  But this is why I was telling you about the size because if I left that at 100 and then I go back to my little hand here and drag things around, that doesn't give me a lot of real estate to do things. So if I went back to here and I want to move things around a little bit, you can see my screen's pretty full. But if you keep that around 50% or so, you just have a little bit more room to deal with. So I'm going to go back to this little handprint down here. I can drag this stuff over to the side. This is why the endless is kind of cool. So my post-its, I could put as many as I want on and just type any text I want. So my caps lock is on. Move them around. So drag and drop activities, pretty typical to Jamboard or any white board. So nothing other than this washi tape is pretty cool. This is where this gets kind of cool. So I'm going to drag this over a little bit. Flow charts.  I can go right down here. What shape do I want my center to be? So let's put a circle and I'm going to put it right here in the middle and I can make it, you know, however I want. Maybe I want it to be red and this is my main idea and I want to make that text huge and I do want to make that a better size though. So let's do this. Now what's really cool, I'm going to make it a little bit smaller because I'm going to really play with this a little bit and let's just not make it huge. Let's make it extra large. There we go. So in the past, you would have to find an arrow and connect it. If I just click on this, these little blue dots around the side, this is so easy. I just click and it says, what do you want to add? I can go another circle or I can add any one of these shapes and just by clicking these little arrows, I can make them any shape I want, put my text in, but it gets even better. What if I'm like, oh, I really need to move that? This is so easy. I just click on the picture and drag it and take a look at those lines. It just follows them wherever I put it. It keeps them linked. It keeps my arrows in and it just makes it so easy. There we go. I'm going to go ahead and move this one over there and then once again, use that little hand and drag this over. Now, all of a sudden, this is looking really big. I just have to go down and make it a little bit smaller now. Now I'm seeing even more of this once again, endless canvas. It's pretty cool. This is a great way to do any of your flow charts or diagramming of any kind. It makes it just super easy and of course you have text boxes, so all I have to do is say hello, but keep in mind I'm zoomed way out, so if I want to see that, I can just zoom in a little bit more, hit my little hand, go over to that text box, go back to my little arrow, double click on it and make that huge. There we go. I can have text boxes. I can change my couple of font styles. Pretty typical for any of the normal whiteboard tools. This is also another thing, so say you're doing a class activity. I'm going to go ahead and drag this over a little bit and I want everyone like in Jamboard to have their own page. In Fig Jam, they're called sections, so this little piece right here, if I click this, I can draw a section here and then this is a separate whiteboard for someone else to work in. I can even name this Billy, maybe this is Billy's section, and I can color his section any color I want, so Billy's going to be let's say this kind of yellowish color, and now Billy can go ahead and put in any of his things he needs, so maybe he's making a flowchart of some kind. While he's working, I'm going to go over here, I'm going to just click this section right here, and I'm going to copy it and duplicate it, and then this isn't going to be Billy's, this will be Sue's, and Sue's color, I'm going to make hers blue, and then she gets to do her own little kind of whiteboard, her own independent one, so now I can scroll through and see all my students work, and if I need to see more at a time, I can click and drag these, kind of put them wherever I want, I could line up all 25 of my kids there, and I could have a sample, what they need to look at, here's what I want you to do, here's your activity, now each one of you has your own whiteboard space, I want you to work in that, so that's really cool. Another thing is you have this table where you can insert tables, you can actually bring Google sheets in and put the actual copied and pasted cells right in here, and the formulas still work, it's pretty slick, all kinds of stamps, so you could give each other thumbs ups, you could give stars, now keep in mind the reason those are so small is because I'm zoomed out to 25%, so if I want to see them a little better, I just have to zoom in, and these stamps are just fun, they're just kind of fun things for the kiddos to do, there I'll put my own little picture, my profile picture all over the place, but where it gets really fun, I'm going to go ahead and slide this over a little bit more, are all these little add-ons, so if I just hit the little plus for all these widgets, you can brainstorm, there's all kinds of polls, this one's really cool, because I can say what candy do you like, and I could say KitKat, and then, and I can add more, but I'm going to go ahead and start the poll, and all people have to do is when they go to it, they can vote, so I'll show you how that works here in just a second too, there we go, so now it's running, I'm going to go ahead and zoom in a little bit more, and just by clicking on it, I'm voting, and here's where it gets cool, because you've seen me say, you know, what about when people get in, if I click the share button up here, I can put any email address in, and I can invite them, I'm going to go to that email address, here's my invite, I'm going to click on it, and I'm going to put this at a half a screen, I'm going to put this at a half a screen, and I'm going to go ahead and open this, I'm going to close this one out, and you're going to see, here's the teacher account, and here's maybe a student, and they're joining, now they do have to have a Figma education account to have all the fun toys and tools, but once your students log in with their Gmail account, they'll be all set, their school account, but as you can see, I'm going to go ahead and bring mine back out from 100, back down to, let's just do 50%, I'm going to go over to that poll, and then I'm going to go to this one, this is my student one, yeah there we go, and we're going to go back up to 50%, and I'm going to go over to that poll, and now this person's going to go ahead and vote, let me close this tour out, yeah yeah yeah yeah, okay, and they're going to say M&Ms, it's all completely live, you can see both screens are going, and what's really cool is, as I'm over here on my school, I'm a student account, you can see over on the right hand side, now unfortunately it's confusing because it still means the same name, but you can see my mouse move, and when I'm the teacher, I'm over here, I'm the green one moving around, so it's really cool, you can see live action as those students or other participants are moving around, as they create things, it's all live, live action, so you see everything second by second, there's no delay, it's really really slick, so I'm going to go ahead and minimize, oh and the other thing that's cool, this is just awesome, we do all these meetings and things, and we try to put a whiteboard into a google meter or zoom, there's no need for that, if you don't need video, all I have to do is go up to this little headphone set, when I click it, I just joined the meeting, and now this person clicks it and joins, and you're going to hear some feedback here in a second, but now we're both in, and you can hear, we're both speaking at the same time because I'm on the same computer, but I can have, mute that, I can have an online meeting, if I don't need my camera to see me, and we can talk while collaborating on this document, on this infinite canvas, it's so cool, so when you're all done, you just click leave, and you leave the meeting, and now they can't hear me, so it's just by clicking that little headphone set up there, it's pretty cool, but let's play with some of these widgets for a second, let me get this back up to full screen so we can see a little better, so some of these widgets that you can add, honestly just play around with some of these things, but they are so cool, this is one of my favorite ones, so if I add this photo booth in, and I'm like, you know what, I want you to make a section for yourself, because you don't have to make, remember how I made these two little student sections here, you don't have to pre-make those, you can make students do them, so maybe a student has to come over and say, okay, I'm gonna take these out just so that it's a fresh one, just click on it, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, I've just made my own section, and I'm gonna call this Jeremy, and I said I want your picture in it, if I added this photo booth widget, I just have to click the button, it's gonna bring up my camera, I'm gonna take a picture, three, two, one, it spits this camera picture out like a polaroid, and I can just drag it right into my thing and resize it, and now I've got my own image in there, so sometimes you want to have the pictures of the kids, or maybe showing their pictures so they can do this, and maybe they've got this project that they are holding up to show you, and it's so easy to add these images in, you don't have to use any external tools, it's all built right into it, so this little section down here with all of the plugins and widgets and templates is just careful, hours of your life will be spent here, you want to do random dice, it's just as easy as clicking them, there are so many little widgets to play with down here, so lots of extra tools, lots of things to look at, and the more button of course there's even more, there's a timer, so I've got one running over here, so you could say oh I want this to run for a minute and 10 seconds, I just hit play, you get to choose the music you want, and then the timer goes off, so it's pretty slick, so there's a lot of things in this, and like I said I'm not going to show you every tool, honestly it's kind of get in and see what you want to do with it, but imagine writing some, even almost like your lesson plans in this, right now we're using slides for a lot of that, now you could do, here's what I want you to do, and I want every student in this document adding their notes to it, or something like that, it's a very cool collaborative free whiteboard tool that I think is just going to get absolutely even more attention and more use, so just like any other Google thing you can add comments to places, I mean there's so much to this, I could do, I probably will do some how-tos on every little tool or bundles of tools, but really this is just get in and take a look at it, it's pretty cool, so you don't have to save it or anything, all I need to do is I can just go back to my little figma account, so over here on the top left I click that little drop down, go back to my files, and here's that untitled one I just had, so and if you don't even know where to start, these templates are awesome, there's a ton of them that they're starting to do, so their teacher created, and figma is making all kinds of them, so I could do, I wish I wonder, maybe just a brainstorming one, I just say use template, it'll open up, I can delete all of this tips out if I don't want them, I just have to highlight everything, hit the delete button, but here I am, I'm going to zoom back up to about 50%, and now I've got all of these student prompts ready to go, so all I have to do is type things in, and I've got this template all set up and ready to go for me, so I'm going to go down just a little bit smaller so I can see it a little better, and just remember if you want to drag things around just click the hand, and that drags the whole canvas around, so I can move it sideways, see what's in here, hit the little F over here, go back to my files, they do have this, the how to's in here as well, so there's a lot of really cool stuff in there, so go and create your figma account and give fig jam a try, just kind of play around, and have your students get in and explore, just have them create some stuff and get used to it, because it is absolutely one of the most powerful free tools I think that we're going to be using a lot here soon.
