T is For Training 329 - This Sucks, Start Over

The photographer, teacher and author Glenn K. Seki, Ed. D. talks to us about how to become an expert in Anything. Find his book at https://howtobecomethebest.com/ Notes added 2/11/23 I didn’t want the world to remember him like that. [Glenn was the LMU photographer when Hank Gathers died on the court] https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/hank-gathers-death-college-basketball K Anders Ericsson [I would make a bad photojournalist] because I want to save the kid on fire. Companies should retrain injured employees for free. I learned to compensate. Make sure you have a plan B. Planning and Pre-focusing. Anticipation matters in photography You can only use one good eye for photography. Have an editor who can tell you “This Sucks, Start Over.” Glenn practiced action photography by following seagulls. Drive to get better. Takes deliberate practice with goals. Observe habits. You don’t have to be born the best; you have to work at it. Persistence is the key. It depends on where you attribute failure. “Practicing Knowledge” Teach me how to tell someone to f-off and they say thank you. Education and Expertise don’t go hand in hand. Be your own coach. Tom quoted the book “Deschooling Society” by Ivan Illitch. I just needed help cracking my chest. You’re about to experience some discomfort. Automate Procedure Going on Auto-Pilot to a destination.

T is For Training 327 - Columbo-ization of Training

baldgeekinmd@gmail.com (MC aka Baldgeekinmd) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 22:02:27 -0500

We started talking about what tech and non tech we will use in 2023. Recognizing Limitations of Technology is important. It is a good thing to hear your friend's voices in your head. Leave the interstate and take the road less traveled (you want to see the big ball of string) We learned that Jill folds (and annotates) her maps properly. We want you to get the right help. Start your training with a story. Or a murder like Colombo. You then get to see how you got there. Which is the interesting journey.

T is For Training 326 - It Tastes Like Backside, But It Works.

baldgeekinmd@gmail.com (MC aka Baldgeekinmd) — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 22:19:47 -0500

The end of year wrap show. Next episode January 12th 2023. We figure all systems are broken and all of our guests this year are trying to fix them one small change at a time. We should create small learning communities, not ways to game the system and chrun out diplomas like automobiles. The notes: DEI is everywhere Work on people and self-discovery is at the heart of DEIJ training. It is also an easy way to approach any problem. (really emotional intelligence) Familiarity breeds contempt. Bad things happen when you doomscroll and have no outlet to process and evaluate what you learned with moderately reasonable people. Interacting with people acts as a professional governor. Chat GPT you can beat it by knowing some stuff about the subject. The world changes as the world resists the change. Non-industrialized and non-gamified instruction will turn Chat GPT into a tool, not a problem. Education has become an assembly line. There is an economics of academic scale. Large schools have money to provide things that bring more students into classes whose tuition pays for more things to attract more students who take more classes…. Why is it ok to turn in someone else’s work? We need to create networks of small learning communities that can use large-scale classroom sessions as jumping-off points. Everything should be blended learning. Students LIKE IT. You got a grade, now you are in the legislature. You keep the status quo because it is what you know.

T is For Training 325 - Polishing the Chrome

baldgeekinmd@gmail.com (MC aka Baldgeekinmd) — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 22:03:16 -0500

Pat Wagner's penultimate public appearance. Lessons over 44 years. Every time I hear you speak, I feel braver. You should meet the needs of your community. Have a sincere desire to like people and to serve people. Don’t show benign contempt. Don’t dominate under the guise of service. Serve with a clear heart with compassion and empathy for everyone. The three types of libraries: the Comfort Zone library, the same old stuff, and the Responsive library, can be expensive, fad driven, and cater to the loudest voices, and the Visionary library, think and be different take risks and learn from mistakes and failures. Libraries like this tend to be really rich or really desperate. Pat would ask libraries, what percentage of these types of libraries are you? You should explore failures. Innovation is a process, not an event. Why did we build it THIS way? Monuments to ego, not service. One library consulted with its staff to figure out the right type of floor to install. They saved time and money by installing what the custodian staff recommended. Tom recommended the book How Buildings Learn. The building as a system. When designing a building think about maintenance and future use. One library had to have the custodian polish the chrome pillars all day because they were high-touch areas. Don’t try to be everything for everyone. The library is not Pizza (which everyone likes) While you have competition, your community comprises current customers, future customers, and potential partners. Think of listening as a radical endeavor.

T is For Training 324 - We Have Dreams

baldgeekinmd@gmail.com (MC aka Baldgeekinmd) — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 22:15:28 -0500

Today we welcomed David Lee King from the Topeka Shawnee County Library system in Kansas to talk about innovative learning and creative spaces that have blossomed during the pandemic. Regular Regulars Tom, Jill, Paul and Maurice da host were also on the call. Notes and Quotes: Full notes on the T is for Training blog @ tisfortraining.wordpress.com We were Google Kansas for just one day. Check out the American Connectivity Program part of the big infrastructure bill for resources (aka cash) to do some work libraries already do for the community. “My Soul Patch was on Fire” 30-dollar broadband with equipment can help the economic angle of the digital divide. How do we deal with the first/last mile? Modems, access points in a home/apartment, computers/internet-ready devices for all? Think like a designer. Create, screw up, fix, recreate, repeat until you reveal the sculpture in the marble. Do we hire staff to open the library on Local, State and Federal holidays? What does that mean for recruitment, management, and unions? How do we help libraries become Design Organizations? (There are links on the blog post all about how) The goalposts have shifted from access to technology to access the knowledge to use the technology.

T is For Training 322 - Don't Yuck My Yum, but Don't Yum My Yuck, Either.

baldgeekinmd@gmail.com (MC aka Baldgeekinmd) — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 22:27:39 -0400

Jared Bendis Jaredx2 is everywhere. If you are going to complain you have to be on Twitter. Right Platform for the job Only an idiot would post a 10-minute video. Me, Joe, and Josh with lava lamps and flintstone ties. My brand is Jared Bendis. I assume this was before the author went crazy. I don’t want videos to go viral. Call me fat and bald, don’t call me a boomer…. The only person who thinks I’m a bad guy is a Republican. You’re not a library but you are a digital hoarder. We will never get copyright reform until we leave international treaties. Let’s use social engineering to figure out copyright. Willingly expire copyrights. I don’t wanna pay for it. But why did you pirate it… Don’t yuck someone yum. Keep on trolling trolls…. Aldi’s doesn’t answer the phone. Even if you didn’t steal a cartridge. My friends really need captions. Turns out I talk really fast. I learned how to be a librarian from one conversation. You need to know where this thing goes in the schema of this house. I didn’t count for the fluff factor. When you start looking at a social media platform follow a celebrity or three. Don’t get sucked into the stupid stuff. It’s corn it’s got the juice. Respect, Research Definitive. Don’t Yuck my Yum, Don’t Yum my Yuck either. You have to have thick skin. My life as a train.. how long does it take to stop if I pull the brake? I made the linear mistake when I get started TicToc. That is what being an influencer is about.
