That's it. That's it. So

ive found a beautiful picture of that, cause it did remind me where you were going with noticing and n so every person in the room had a set of stickies in front of them. They could write something that they were noticing or something that they were wonering on sticky and then put it physically on thet poster that was in the room, or they could use the cr code that was also printed on that same poster and go and contribute that digitaly. So i love the blend of the digital with the analogue. And it was so fun to get everybody engaged. And the padlet allows you to have a ccustomed background. So i made sure that for each one of these cork boards, they had the same background. So if you're standing in the room, you see the northern lights. And if you went digitlly to it, i had that same image there. It just turned out so, so well. I cannot recommend padlet enough. And i love that we can go and keep revisiting that c some of those burning questions. I suspect they're still going to be asking those questions ven after ten or 20 years of teaching. The

next tool is loom, a tool that i don't know how, as an educator, or actually doing anything in any online context, which, of course, we're doing out bonny, we were collaborating with others how i could get away without using this ap any more. It is a ap that does three things i think really well. It records a video of just you. So if you would want to send someone a video message versus just sending a text or an emal, it is a wonderful tool for that. It also is wonderful at screen casting. You could install the ap on your computer, and it will capture your screen and your voice as you are doing something, to demonstrate something or walk someone through something. And then it can do both. It can do recording a screen cast and recording your video at the same time and superimposes the image. It's a really wonderful service that does those, those three things super well. And the beauty of it is, when you are finished recording and you hit stop, as long as you have a decent intercan internet connection, within a few seconds you get a link, and then you can pase that link wherever it's going, if it'sgoing to be texted or posted on line or sent in an email. It makes it so easy to be able to, i have video messages, be able to be communicated to others. I pay for it, since i'm not affiliated with an educational institution. But the the wonderful thing with loom, at least at the time o're recording this, is educators who are affiliated with educational institutions still get it for free, right? Bonny, you have a free account. And if you've not tried loom and you're affiliated with an educational institution, you should at least set up an account, get verified and just test it. I'll play with it. It's also on all the mobile phone aps. It's such a powerful tool, and i use it multiple times a day. I

cannot emphasize enough how powerful it is when tools that we use, as soon as we stop recording or stop taking the screen shod, or watever it is we're doing, as soon as we press stop, they're in by some sort of magic, in your clipboard, waiting to be pasted wherever you want that link to be pasted. You don't have to wait for your video to upload. You don't have to wait for it to be done. It's really ready for instantaneous sharing. Could be in a learning management you could give feedback on grating. This way, you could put it in an emel, rather than trying to type out the steps for how to do something. Here's a quick video for how to do that as well. So loom is really powerful. There are a lot of different screen casting applications out there. But for me, dave, the feature that you talked about with that being ready to go in the clip board is, i won't use another one if it doesn't have that available to me. And there are, there's a whole body of research around what is called authentic assessment. How do we get as close to the context that some one might be using, the concepts, the tools, the skills that we're trying to teach them as we possibly can. So the classic example would be, does your physician take a multiple choice question in order to treat you as a patient? So it's not that we can't ever use multiple choice questions, by the way, on our way to learning. But really, the more authentic the assessment, the closer we're getting to really providing real value. And so for me, i have students use loom all the time. I'm teaching, once again, for like the fifth or sixth time, may be even more than that, a class called personal leadership and productivity. And part of what they do is build out different systems, or learn to use their calendar and learn how to set up a number of different systems. So rather than have them write a paper about that, just show me. I call it the adult version of show and tell. Like, go and show me what your system looks like right now. And it really des become a conversation, but a conversation that happens more asynchronously. And it feels very intimate and very, very authentic as we are having these conversations. And i've even had full, long conversations with co workers on loom, just as we're not able to schedule a conference call or resume it doesn't make sense to do that. But just to be able to go here's what i'm talking about, right over here. I mean, it's just so powerful to do that.
