T is For Training

We talked cultural competencies, listening and trust. See our blog @ http://tisfortraining.wordpress.com for more details about the show and resources discussed.

End of year stuff....permanence, communities and outliving usefulness. Also, a bit about technology.

We talked about how struggle is a good thing. And Paul dished on some of his best resources on this short show. Also, I didn't have to edit the recording as I have had to do for months.

All about neurodiversity, accommodations, checking in and other things

And boy didn't it work at all...Yikes....I recorded a beginning trying to explain the truly horrible technology and connection issues. The official topic was how to help learners success with their preferred form of learning... but tuned into a tech problem of the day/week month.

Paul and Maurice experience some tech issues (thanks TS) because this article about using or not using tech in the classroom was our starting point. https://ww2.kqed.org/education/2019/06/11/tech-flop-when-not-to-use-technology-in-the-classroom/ We had a great conversation about the application of tech in learning.

After a brief hiatus, T is for Training is back in your earhole. We dispensed a bunch of tips for online teaching, training and learning along with some design tips, equipment tips and general computer safety and security tips.

ALA talk. Jill's not first time. New Format, Time, but not date. We are changing here at T is for Training to a Late Night Format. We would like to know what works for you. Let us know. We will be back the week of August 12th with another fine series of episodes. Thanks for listening and hope you can join us soon!

We started with a list of great ideas to nurture those members of a highly successful organization from the book The Dysfunctional Library: Challenges and Solutions to Workplace Relationships. We tangented to talk about accessible self and organizational development and some reading resources.

This interview with Paul Meshanko about the concept of respect as a powerful workplace tool. His book the Respect Effect is available from amazon and barnes and noble. https://www.amazon.com/Respect-Effect-Neuroleadership-Productive-Workplace/dp/0071816097/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367956824&sr=1-3 He can be found at paulmeshanko.com

An interview with master evaluator Ken Phillips on what people get right about evaluation, what people get wrong and how to make better evaluations that get a more accurate measurement of learner engagement and retention. My mind was blown away.

A recap of the wonderful ATD 2019 International Conference and Exposition in Washington DC. https://atdconference.td.org/ for conference highlights.

We talked diversity and how we can make sure we care for the "other" when we are doing whatever we do to make the world a better place. resources on the show's blog at tisfortraining.wordpress.com

We started with discussing this article: https://www.psychotactics.com/accelerate-client-learning/ then https://www.ny.gov/sites/ny.gov/files/atoms/files/MinimumStandardsforSexualHarassmentPreventionPolicies.pdf NYS sexual harassment guidelines.

The Disciplined Pursuit of Less https://youtu.be/hsFefdPhL3w was the start of our discussion today. The we talked about some questions related to helping others realize that they need to keep on learning, how to sneak it in and how do we keep our selves motivated to continue to improve ourselves.

We started talking about the ShapingEDU https://shapingedu.asu.edu/ conference at Arizona State University and Paul's Group Education and the Workforce of the future. then meandered into talking about library education expectation and the library people problem. Then we went into an overtime to talk about copyright.

We started with the 24-44 What did you learn in school today post https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/25-alternatives-whatd-learn-school-today and came to the conclusion that the questions help make for better facilitators and learners.

https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/20-ways-to-provide-effective-feedback-for-learning/ We talked based upon this article about which of these twenty ways we could/do use in our training experiences. We also did some acknowledgement of how bad we all were 10 plus years ago to our present selves. Jenica Rogers ( a longtime friend of the show) says it so ellegantly in her blog post Define A Natura...

So Paul, Jill and Diane walk into a podcast one day and all hell breaks loose. Talkshoe was not in a pleasant mood, so there were two shows recorded. One that was 38 Seconds in length and on that was 26 minutes in length.

Starting with the article from Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/palomacanterogomez/2018/12/30/make-use-of-these-top-7-tips-to-achieve-your-goals-in-2019/#6de14f6e5863 We talked about Planning for training expected and unexpected outcomes and how to make sure what you are doing fits into the organization's goals.

Using ELearning's https://elearningindustry.com/top-learning-development-trends-2018 Learning trends 2018 article as a start, we talked about the importance of each of the elements in a successful training, how a good learning session usually has a social element or three, how it is both an event and an experience. Good stuff.

Sparked by a conversation at the MDLIBTECH Conference we discussed ways of keeping vairous biases out of our training materials, classroom discussions, audience questions and our language as trainers and leaders. What we learned is that it is really hard to do.
