There are lots of studies mentioning the advantage of interactive teaching versus

passive, standard delivered lectures,

and the point is not in technology; I would say it's rather mindset:

too often, when you go into university and you open the door

- you just want to watch what's going on behind the door-

what you see is a professor, a faculty member lecturing his audience,

and it's still the case in too many universities around the world.

This could change, because our students nowadays, they are millennials,

so they are driven by engagement, by what matters to them

as making sense to their learning experience, having fun.

If they're seeing no point in learning something, they won't learn it;

if they have no fun in studying something, they won't study it.

So, how to show them how important it is to learn, if we're not asking them to confront

their point of views, to discuss together about difficult concepts?

It's not that difficult to implement interactive teaching in a classroom,

and one doesn't need to have a huge equipment:

you can start by just posing a question, and when posing a question

please give enough time to the students to respond to your questions!

If you pose a question and you wait just one second - which is the average time, by the way -

then of course it's not enough for the students to think on their own and to give you an answer.

So organizing that time is already something:

organizing reflexive pauses during the lecture, just to give time to the students

so they can think about the material, maybe discuss with their peer.

There is this very simple activity, which is called think-pair-share strategy:

first students think individually, then they discuss with their neighbour,

and then there is the plenary discussion about the full concept...

and you don't need computers, you don't need smartphones, you don't need anything to do that:

just organizing that in your teaching scenario.

As an educational developer, sometimes I talk with faculty members and they tell me:

"Okay, you're right with your interactive teaching, but it's not possible in my setting:

I'm teaching a large audience, I have 150 students,

and I'm teaching in an auditorium, so it's impossible to practice interactivity!"

That's not true! That's not true: you can practice interactivity in such a setting,

just by talking with your neighbour sitting close to you, or behind you, or in front of you,

and just giving some time for reflexive pauses during the teaching.

You don't need a particular setting, and you don't need to have a specific number of students to do so;

I would say it's rather a mindset: when you want to optimize the time you spend with your students,

then you give them the opportunity to confront their point of view,

to discuss their understanding, to think on their own about the problems,

and you can do that anywhere, basically anywhere, in any sort of teaching place,

even if it's an auditorium with fixed seats and a large number of students.

There was a very interesting report by the World Economic Forum in 2015:

"New vision for education" - and it's still valid today - which determined that

there are three different aspects of learning which matter today for running the world tomorrow.

The first pillar (foundational literacies) is about basic skills: the literacy, computing literacy,

writing, reading mathematics, accounting... basic literacy to perform everyday tasks.

The second pillar of skills (competencies) is about what skills you have to develop to live in a complex world:

so it's about critical thinking, it's about communication qualities,

it's about analysing, synthesizing, assessing things.

But what is more important and more interesting - I think - is the third pillar (character qualities),

which is about skills such as curiosity, persistence, leadership, warm-heartedness:

all these skills which will be necessary to face problems in a changing world,

problems which don't exist yet, and will exist tomorrow.

And to develop those skills you need to practice interactivity during the teaching,

because this is when the students develop the skills of curiosity, of confronting ideas, of helping each other,

of being more than just - you know - listening to someone speak for three hours or so.

So interactive teaching is a real added value, and I think that nowadays

not using that way of teaching is almost criminal, because studies show - you know -

with very clear data that, if you don't practice interactive teaching, your students are more likely to fail,

and this is not an option we want in our universities today.

Dog Painting || Digital Illustration - Duration: 4:13.

Welcome to another video.

Today, I'm working on an addition to my simple alphabet series that I started

over on my instagram.

If you want to see the others, you should go over there and check them out, I won't

be doing videos for all of them.

The goal of creating that series was to make something that would be easy to knock out

quickly and frequently, so instead of waiting weeks between posts of full or more elaborate

illustrations, these would be quick things that just keep that flow going

at least once a week.

But I did get a request to record at least some of them, so that's what I'm doing now.

These are all pretty straightforward, and by now, I've established some of the guidelines

to getting started.

All my type goes in the same place, the braille goes in the upper-right corner, and my signature

to the bottom left.

I'm using the same typeface on each piece so that later on down the road, this series

will look cohesive, almost like its own board book for toddlers.

I also set it up so all my colors will be fairly easy to figure out, each background

will be the next rainbow color, and the animal featured will be its contrasting color.

All of this was so that all the decision making on this was as streamlined as possible, and

I was just focused on the shape of the animal, and really polishing that final illustration.

Just like all my other pieces, I start by blocking out the shapes of the character,

then locking the transparency and adding shading and texture.

For this series, I also wanted to get used to coloring things in by hand again.

I've been working digitally for a long time, and when I've been working on traditional

pieces that don't allow shortcuts like just using the paint bucket tool to fill in large

areas, I've gotten a little frustrated by how slowly it goes.

So because these pieces aren't for a job, they're practice pieces, I'm taking the time

to get used to that slower process a little more.

I'm really pushing these to be as simple and adorable as possible, so they fit right in

with a lot of other baby stuff.

That means enlarging the eyes, and using minimalist shapes.

That makes the coloring process go pretty quick, especially on pieces where limbs don't

overlap the same shape.

So here on the dog, all the shapes except the body were super quick to

fill out and shade.

The body had the arm and leg showing, but that's all on the same shape, the same layer,

so it needed a little extra attention to bring those forms out.

I like working with minimalist shapes because it really makes you think about the perception

of what you're drawing.

It is not close to reality, instead, you have to consider what parts of that thing our brain

uses to identify it, and only use those.

You have to figure out how much you can remove without altering the meaning.

This dog is a triangle with a semi-circle head and tear-drop ear.

But instead of just seeing simple shapes, we can understand that this is a dog.

Some illustrators will say that the simpler something looks, the more complicated it was

to figure out.

That's sometimes true, because the further away you get from reality, the less you can

copy from nature.

This isn't entirely minimalist though, or it would be flat vector shapes without shading

or texture.

But I wanted to explore different ways to polish illustrations and add details that

really give it an extra touch.

I look for areas I can add stripes or speckles or spots things that the animal might have

naturally, and add things like fur, or scales.

Again, it's important to simply the texture itself to correspond with the simplicity of

the shapes.

It would look strange to have realistic fur on such a simple base, and it would also detract

from the idea of keeping it simple to begin with.

Adding a pattern in the background has also proved to be a good way of spicing things

up without going overboard.

In illustrator, it's much easier to create patterns, but here in photoshop, the easiest

way for me is to just doodle what I want one block of the pattern to be, and manually duplicate

and place it.

From there, I grow it exponentially, taking and duplicating everything on the board each

time, and it's a really quick process.

I merge it all down once I'm done to keep the file manageable.

I could talk about all the things I've been learning on this series for quite some time,

but that'll have to wait for future videos.

That just about does it for this piece, if you have any specific questions about this

series, please let me know in the comments, and i will do my best to answer them.

If you want to make sure you don't miss any of my pieces, go find me on instagram.

Make sure you're subscribed here if you want to see more of my process.

Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you again soon.

Until then, I hope you have a very lovely day.

Hampton City Schools - The Digital Bridge - January 30, 2017 - Duration: 3:49.

(upbeat techno music)

- Hello, and welcome to The Digital Bridge.

I'm Paul Lawrence, Director of Information Literacy

for Hampton City Schools, and today we're at

Hampton's Science Magnet School, Cooper Elementary.

In Miss Kimball's tech lab, we have

some kindergarten students who are about to get busy

with some Bee-Bots.

- [Rose Kimball] What is it everybody?

- [Students] Algorithm.

- An algorithm.

Remember an algorithm is our set of directions

when we put them together.

Today the students were using their Bee-Bots,

and it was to finish up their coding unit.

We began with the internet, and we started with

an Hour of Code program called Kodable.

And the students had to start with a little fuzzball,

and they had to go around and collect little stars.

So those students were working on directions,

forward, back, right, and left.

Once the students were able to start coding

with the program efficiently,

then we went ahead and took content

from their classroom that they were working on

and developed little mats for them

to continue working on with that.

- I was coding.

Tellin' a robot what to do or a computer.

It's fun.

- What we tell the students is coding means

to tell a program or a device what to do.

In order to code, you develop algorithms or directions

to make the device do what you're telling it to do.

- Computers have fun things to do.

We played with the Bee-bots.

- [Interviewer] Okay, what's a Bee-bot?

- A Bee-bot's something you tell it directions what to do.

- All of the students are usually very engaged.

It's not only the coding aspect

but not knowingly they're doing the content as well.

So they're reading the sight words,

they're developing what's right, what's left.

Things that they already struggle with,

but things that they need to master in kindergarten.

- I telled my Bee-bot to go right, I think forward,

and then left, forward, forward.

There's a little game on the computers,

and we have a little person that's shaped like a ball

and he's super fuzzy and it's called,

the game's called Fuzzball,

and you get to tell the fuzzball what to do.

- [Interviewer] So are you good at that game?

- Yup.

- As they get older we usually use the

First of Google program, and they will use

a program called Scratch.

So they'll start developing their own programs

and making a sprite or a character do different things.

They might develop into their own game

or to use it to problem solve,

and they actually have to show the math problem

through each step.

It really turns into developing simple skills

throughout elementary school,

and then eventually they can do robotics.

I also started a Lego Club this year,

and they can partake in that in fourth and fifth grade.

- What was great about today's lesson was

not only are students developing the building blocks

of computer coding skills, but they're also mastering

some of the basic skills that they work on

in their everyday class.

Thank you for watching The Digital Bridge.

NEXEDGE® Digital Communications System for Lithuania National Ambulance Service - Duration: 6:49.

Company Dekbera was founded in 1996 and we

specialized in sales and support of

radio communication equipment in Lithuania.

Since 1998, we started working with Kenwood.

Then Kenwood launched the new NEXEDGE® system.

We offered of course the system

for our current customers,

and first of our conventional NEXEDGE® system

was NATO air force base and Lithuanian Gas.

And after feedback from the customer

we decided to install first in Lithuania

multi-site trunking NEXEDGE system for ambulance services.

Currently we have seventy base stations sites here in Lithuania

and till the end of this year it will be

increased till seventy-five

and during the next year we will have plans to expand to

100 base stations in Lithuania to cover full country.

It is our main control computer,

which manages all our network.

We can manage all vehicles,

their statuses – are they available or busy or going to event.

There is IP network equipment monitoring

now everything is green and that means everything is working perfectly.

There is SCADA application.

We are monitoring our sites.

We can reboot power supplies,

repeaters, and check what is battery status, and so on.

There is a microwave monitoring system.

There is also everything in green.

We are monitoring Kenwood repeaters

and there are more than 150 repeaters operating on our system.

And from our database

I can see that average of each month is

4.1 million of GPS data,

270 thousand of status messages,

and 68 thousand short messages per month.

So, I think this is one of the biggest

NEXEDGE® network in the world.

Ambulance service is one of the most important services

among public services in every country.

One of the most important part

in our ambulance system,

in dispatch centers is a radio system.

It is very important

in the ambulance dispatch center to have a good

and clear communication with our crew.

On the field they are facing different situations,

sometimes dangerous situations for our crew,

sometimes you need some advice from the chief doctor, etc. and etc.

So, it is very very important to have a good radio communication.

NEXEDGE® radio system gives more opportunities.

They have bigger penetration,

and we can reach somewhere far far away in the field

our ambulance crew,

so here we see big advantage of NEXEDGE® system.

Before the NEXEDGE® we did not have

any other solution to the problem,

to cover rural areas and smallest cities

with the digital radio network.

When we found the NEXEDGE

the problem disappeared because they

introduced a service of sending information through

the NEXEDGE radio network from the dispatch room,

from the CAD system

by one click, mouse click.

And ambulance crew receives

all the information directly to the car.

Delivery of information from the

dispatch center through the NEXEDGE radio network

is only a small part of functions we use in the NEXEDGE.

And the good thing is

that we can track, see our ambulance cars by receiving the GPS location.

Also we receive information about the status of a car -

if it is busy, if it is free,

if it is at the patient or going to the hospital

or waiting at the emergency room in the hospital.

So, it gives a dispatcher an opportunity to observe,

and to collect information

and evaluate information in real time.

So, it is fast and more efficient way for dispatching

and it is very efficient way to see the information right on your screen

about the location or the status of the ambulance crew.

We haven't experienced any problems with the radios.

Our staff adopted them very quickly.

The hand portable radios have proven to be

very reliable, easy and convenient to use.

And it fitted to use by hand perfectly.

The NEXEDGE allows us to work efficiently

and work safe.

It is a reliable and it is cost-effective, it is effective for distant areas.

And at the moment is the choice number one.

As a conclusion,

I must say that this system implemented already

in our dispatch center of ambulance service allows medics

of our crews to arrive more quickly,

to make the necessary steps

and to save lives in our community.

And I think it is the most important.

Our Digital Selves Official Teaser #3 [Drax Files Special coming 2018] - Duration: 2:57.

[MUSIC POOKY AMSTERDAM SINGS] I am too busy to date your avatar. I am a star!

I'm too busy to date your avatar, I'm a star. [MALE VOICE] And one of my favorite clients.

[MUSIC REED STEAMROLLER SINGS] Do you want to date her avatar? She's gone to far. And that's for sure...

My name is Second Life is Alumnia Autumn. My avatar it is me.

How I would look if I had a chance to create my own body once again.

There is the physical body that we can feel and there is the body that we have in our mind.

The thing that is in there that looks different.

I was diagnosed when I was 24. My parents have never ever heard of ADHD.

or that it can happen to girls.

It feels like you can barely walk, everybody else is running by you, sometimes people can

see me crawling but I'm so good at and so many other people with ADHD are good

at this that we can become very confident but we are still crawling like heck!

People had mental illness sometimes refer to it as invisible disability.

The nurse she asks well what do you do for a living and I yeah I say I'm on

disability and I just become very aware that a person might be looking at me and

saying hey she doesn't look disabled you know or she has bipolar disorder while

she's talking to me perfectly fine.

Hi Poppy. Hi. You think virtual worlds are strange?

What type of virtual world are we talking about here?

Well I'm talking about Second Life which is the only relevant universe

not sure if you're familiar with it...

Drax you really can't put that camera can you?

VARAHI: my epilepsy really carved with my personality

and I think being brought up to recognize that there are disabilities

and struggles in the world can actually be quite a good thing. My kids had to

grow up early. They are young carers

TREDI: people choose their avatar to represent the circumstance they're experiencing in

the virtual world. TOM: the way it's phrased over and over again is that disability

is part of who I am that it is not all of who I am.

PHILIP: I mean that is an interesting question for you Cody like what is your ideal avatar

CODY: well, me!

Because I am so cool with myself!

CECII: Because I am so cool with myself!

[LAUGHTER]

[MUSIC]

DRAX: if this is not mixed reality then I don't know what is...

TOM: I know!!!

Digital Nomad: Challenges of Working on the Road - Duration: 28:51.

Well thank you guys so much for joining us today. We're going to talk about

what it's like to be a digital nomad and the challenges of working from the road.

I'm Kait, that's Joe and We're the Russos.

For those of you who don't know us,

we've been traveling the country for about two and a half years now and we

are currently traveling around in a Class B camper van that is just over 20 feet long.

So we live out of this thing full-time and we absolutely love the lifestyle,

but a lot of people have asked what is a digital nomad?

A digital nomad is someone who is location independent. A nomadic person is always traveling

the digital portion of that is someone who travels and works full-time like us.

We can work remotely essentially from anywhere with I would say decent to

good internet connection yeah and even without internet connection we can still

work like I'm writing a book so at during that time I can sit and

write even if I don't have an internet connection so it always helps.

Speaking of challenges is one of the challenges of being digital nomads is

people think that were on a constant vacation all the time.

especially because of the life we lead so we're always going to different

places we try to see a lot of cool stuff so people think that this life is just a

vacation and we're bringing our cameras along for the experience and as much as

I'd love to say that's true it's really not and that presents some challenges to

us sorry that presents some challenges for us when we are traveling and we go

let's say to an event or some sort of gathering as a bunch of people we just

went to one in quartzite and it was just social social social we really didn't

get time to work and actually had to leave a little bit early because we

needed time to get the video up by Wednesday it's also a bit difficult to

when we have friends and family who want to fly out and visit us because they're

usually taking time off of work or are retired and when they come out to see us

they think that there spend all of their time with us it's

like vacation you just planned things one after another and we have to kind of

dial that back and say look we're working we're happy to spend time with

you but we need to put our hours in while we're here with you and we'll

usually try to take a day or two off so we can spend that with them I would say

whenever we meet fellow digital nomads who lead a very similar lifestyle that's

something we always laugh and talk about around the campfire is having friends

and family visit us and how do we do it occurring their expectations yeah and we

made the mistake early on of not explaining very well and so they would

come out and like Joe said want to spend all this time with us but now when we

have friends visit we say look we have time to grab a bite grab a drink hang

out for a little bit but we can't explore all the time but like when Joe's

mom came to visit us in Sedona we've worked really hard to get all of our

content done so we can actually take a day off and spend the whole day with her

and speaking of which we're actually doing that now because she is driving

out to visit us in Phoenix and bringing her new dog Charlie so everyone will get

to see Charlie romping around with Leo should be a lot of fun yeah all right

what's next and by the way all of the questions right now or not all of them

but a good portion of them we curated from our wtr family on patreon for those

of you who are watching this and you want to learn about cool meetups you

want to see fun videos and things that we don't share on YouTube head on over

to patreon and become part of the wtr family all right so moving on to

connectivity that is probably one of the main challenges of working on the road

yeah and the first question is how do you stay connected and have you run into

any issues with your current Center so right now we use a Verizon unlimited

plan when we first got the plan we really liked it and what the plan allows

is for a total of 22 gigabytes line that you have with an additional 15

gigabytes of hotspot data might sound like a lot to some people but when

you're using that as your primary internet connection and you don't have

Wi-Fi at home it's actually not very much so a lot of times if the data is

slow on Verizon or we don't have enough data left for the month we will find a

cafe or some other type of business we can go buy a coffee or something sit

down and use their Wi-Fi but at that cafe we were there for what four hours

four hours to upload yeah and if we had if we couldn't find a cafe or a place to

work we would have had to have used our plan and that would have used up half of

our data for one phone for one month so it's always something that we're very

trying to be very cognizant about and I would say on our phones we'd probably

use a grand total of about 60 gigs a month yeah and we have considered going

with a separate company to do another hotspot or getting more data through

Verizon and I think it's something we're gonna be seriously considering in the

next month or two yeah obviously the two big things with leaving this lifestyle

is data capacity and also data speed yeah so things to really consider

depending on how much internet you need to leave this lifestyle because we know

people who do some chat support right and if they're doing chat support all

day for eight hours at a time they need really good steady connectivity yeah

although I will say we have a few friends that work remotely for a couple

different companies and those companies pay for unlimited plans for them so I'm

always very envious of their their data but I have I have something funny to say

Todd was saying I look very serious and I think whenever I'm thinking and I'm

thinking of an answer to a question I get very like got to think of this and

give you the right answer alright hey buddy sorry Leo is you can't see

saying hello you can see Leo on our Instagram story we got plenty of

pictures over there we had a WT our family member today

send Leo a whole box of treats and we were feeding them to him this morning so

like Kate said head over to Instagram find where the Russos and you'll see all

of those pictures of Leo getting his treats this morning

going back to connectivity is one question we have is do you have multiple

self-service to deal with problem areas and how do you deal with low signal

strength so right now we only have Verizon but that is one of the reasons

why we're looking for a data plan through hoops re-do is bumping the table

we're looking for a data plan through another company so that we can find a

way to have different access and places we go because sometimes 18t is really

good but Verizon is not and vice versa and Leo keeps bumping the table you're

doing button but we are one thing that we do use is a we boost and this is a

cell booster that if we are in a place with really bad cell reception we can

put that up and it will greatly increase the reception that we're getting this

has worked great for us in the past but there are times where we just don't have

enough signal coming through for it to work what that means for us at being

digital Nomad is we have to drive someplace to find Wi-Fi or we have to

leave the area and go camp somewhere else so we can actually get some work

done all right hours seen a lot of questions

and we got a lot about you know working hours so first question is do you set

office hours since you're always working form up we try to it doesn't always work

because we are traveling or we have to run errands and do different things

during the day a lot of times you know the time we take for shooting videos

most of that is done during the day and we have to come home at night and work

on putting them together all the different things on Facebook the

different social networks and everything else it takes us a lot of time and I

think two weeks ago we were actually pulling all-nighters just to try to get

the Wednesday video up because so many other things were going on so it can be

challenging now someone said you mentioned that you each work about 60

hours a week what exactly are you spending time on this this is a good

question because when we told people initially that we each work 60 hours a

week on this business there are a lot of people that said that's impossible

there's no way you could spend 60 hours a week putting videos on YouTube I'm

gonna let Kate kind of fill you in on everything we spend our time on so I'm

preparing for this question I actually went through and just did a quick bullet

point of everything that we spend time I don't think this is an exhaustive list

no this is just a cursory glance so we have video production so that means

shooting editing videos and watching all the content we've shot right which can

be hours and hours if we shot 20 hours of content we have to watch 20 hours of

content to know how we're going to edit it and then also the time it takes to

download 20 hours worth of video footage onto a external drive sometimes that can

take a couple hours and backing it up yep

but rendering the file getting the finished video uploaded writing the

description and actually pushing that video out so everyone knows it's

available and that's just the video editing portion we also write articles

for our website so doing research getting a formatted properly

proofreading triple checking to make sure everything is correct and then

pushing that out we send out a newsletter once a month which is quite a

long newsletter that Joe has to format and write that takes time proofreading

we now have our wtr family and really dedicating a lot of time there so we're

producing additional video content over there on patreon so that's

another big part of what we're doing and working on the book series that Joe's

working on you know book one is done but we haven't done the audiobook yet and

he's in the process of writing book two that takes hours out of your day every

day yes they work on the book and then you know analytics figuring out what

we're doing is working not working making tweaks and then all the

administrative stuff like bookkeeping that people don't think about you know

I'm axis I'm knee-deep in taxes right now but we got sticker cents so of

mailing those out mailing out paperback copies of the book that are signed by

Joe I mean it just the list goes on forever and I actually think 60 hours a

week might be an underestimate I yeah I think it was very conservative yeah but

you know not everyone has all of this on their plate you know if you're a digital

nomad working for another company you might have very set hours and it's a lot

you need a lot more of a traditional maybe 40-hour week it supposed to 60

hour me for us yeah but that leads me to a question which is how do you stay

focused enough to get work done and how long do you work in one sitting um

that's a good question for me to stay focused and I've seen Kate do the same

thing I have a big pair that over the ear headphones actually hear these guys

and I will put those on I'll crank up the music sit down write do whatever it

is I have to do came in really handy when I was doing taxes because it drowns

out everything else and I can focus on the work I don't think we've on a

regular basis we probably don't sit down and do let's say an eight-hour stretch

but we will sit down and work for quite a bit at a time take a break go run

errands do something else we have to do and then come back and go back to it

before I answer that question have to say a big thank you to Scott for the

super chat for the tax fund I think we're gonna need it this year thank you

you Scott I'll have to make sure to report that for next year 2018 all right

so I'm sorry what was the question while we're taking a break I want to give a

quick shout out to one of our WT our family members

Riley Garrett if you are watching I just want to say thank you so much for

including my recipe in your school project

it puts such a huge smile on my face so if you're watching thank you and look

forward to meeting you and your family when we're on the East Coast all right

now well the question is how do you handle getting mail and packages we have

a mail service that all of our mail goes to and whenever we know where we're

going to be ahead of time we can call that mail service up and they will

forward the mail out to us most of the time with packages we have them

delivered directly to wherever we are and there are times where we're out in

the middle of nowhere there's no place to get a package so we'll wait or we'll

have it sent forward to a location we know we're gonna be out now this

presents a challenge to us the Steep excuse me the sticker is that Cate

mentioned were actually shipped out early so we had to call them and they

had ups hold the package for us and again those are the stickers and

situations like that we have to deal with on a case-by-case basis we also had

a few instances where our package was grossly grossly delayed and we had to

wait in that area until the package showed up so you know it's it's a real

challenge for us but we get it done and I would say the longer we've been on the

road the more custom more accustomed to you know having packages sent knowing

where we'll be and about how long it'll take so we plan that out pretty well now

and really quickly Scott is asking where we where we domicile we domicile in

Texas we looked at South Dakota in Florida but with the different benefits

with Texas and everything else that's what we went with

how do you handle voting and we just request an absentee ballot it's as

simple as that so we vote in the county and this date

where we're domicile yep a few people have been asking about the super chat so

for those of you who want to use it if you look at the bottom of the chat box

you'll see a smiley face with a weird dollar symbol next to it if you click

that weird dollar symbol that is how you send us a super chat moving on to

location the fun part which part I love the most about being

digital nomads is we can basically go anywhere with the exception of China

well other countries where YouTube is forbidden and we wouldn't be able to

upload videos which is a big part of our business

yeah and for those of you who don't know there are countries like China that will

block sites like YouTube so if we were to travel to China we would not be able

to upload any of our videos so this presents a challenge to us because Kate

is from China we'd like to go back and see the homeland her home plan and you

know shoot videos there if we did that we'd have to take all of that time off

and then upload everything once we got back to the States or another country

that allowed us to use YouTube that just sounds like too much work but going back

to location which is someone wants to know if we can basically work from

anywhere with internet access yes with those caveats of there are countries or

places where you're not going to be you to be able to get onto the sites that

you want to look at and in terms of you know a lot of people ask how do you

decide where to travel how often to stay and where to go and this year our travel

has been very much dictated by the events that we've scheduled seminars

we're going to and things like that and the only reason we are in Phoenix Mesa

Arizona area is because on Monday Monday February basis we are going to be on

Good Morning Arizona Channel three in the nine o'clock hour

so for those of you who are in the area if you're able to tune in please do so

and we would love to get a copy of our parents because they said that they

wouldn't be able to give us a copy so we won't be able to watch it but we're

really excited about the pairings yes it would be very helpful if someone could

record that for us and send it to us I'm really excited it's gonna be our first

time on live news TV and I think I'm more nervous than anything else yeah I

mean this is live but at the same time it's not on news but going back to my

point which was you know we we travel based on work schedules to and where we

need to be we're gonna be in a summit in Texas we'll have to go to that but one

of the challenges that we've run into is and it comes in handy if you're flexible

with your travel is I had to get my laptop fixed

and we took it to the Apple store it took them four or five days to get it

back to me yep so we have to stay in that area for

an additional four to five days that we didn't plan to so that I could get my

laptop bag before we can move on so something to think about if you're

considering this lifestyle exactly which thinking of equipment this

is a good follow-up question which is do you use any kind of search protection

when you're hooked up to electricity we do so we have a progressive industries

EMS if you head over to our website where the Russos comm click on the store

you'll find it there along with a lot of other things we use but we use it

because we don't want to fry any of our computers or electronics while we're

plugged in to shore power we also don't want to fry anything in a van so when

you're talking about work this is our office

and if our office is down it's gonna be really difficult for us to get our work

done and deal with that situation on top of getting everything else taken care of

that we need to that also leads to do you feel like you have

solar to charge two laptops when your goons are oh absolutely I think we have

we have more than enough solar to cover all the lights the laptops everything

else for those who don't know we have 320 watts of solar on the roof and a 400

amp hour lithium-ion battery bank so this will keep us going almost

indefinitely as long as we have good Sun now when we're using things like the

instant pot or my electric kettle we have the AC running then we're gonna

have to turn the engine on to charge up those batteries because the solar just

can't keep up with all of that but for just some laptops and lights we have

more than enough I'm going back to the EMS to know how often we run into low

voltage situations at a campground we haven't run into it recently but we have

definitely been to some RV shows and that where they do camping on site and

the camping on site is kind of a makeshift campground and what they end

up doing is they'll truck in a bunch of those big cat generators and then run

lines from those to all of the RVs well in the middle of the day when heat kicks

up everyone turns on their a/c and low voltage so in those situations a nice

thing about the progressive EMS is it'll shut you off from that situation and

protect the RV because low voltage is actually a very dangerous situation

sometimes more so than a spike does the passenger in the van actually work

online while the van is moving between locations yeah Kate does I don't I

actually will get if I'm looking down at a book or laptop and we're driving down

the road I'll get motion sick so when we left quartzite early in order to get our

Wednesday video up I was in the passenger seat editing the video the

entire time and I probably worked I did pull two all-nighters but yeah every

time where we have a long travel day I'm working and it's almost non-stop and if

I'm not working laptop we're having business meetings

yeah it just yeah it's always hot going on it's a good time to get work done I

do want to say a big thank you to Clifford just sent us a super chat and

said that our book was a huge inspiration in the YouTube videos and

congratulations on getting into the airstream sooner whenever people ask us

if there is anything we regret about this lifestyle my response is always

that we didn't do it sooner so good on you for getting in your Airstream and

hitting the road sooner than you expected and I'm happy we were able to

inspire you to do that Thank You Clifford okay more questions from the

chat how do you structure your day and do you work the same hours every day or

do you mix it up I would say every single day is different and it really

depends on what we have going on that day I would say a Monday is usually

spent editing and getting the video ready for Wednesday when Kate is doing

that I'm usually busy writing the book or getting something else done and a lot

of it has to do with the location so are we at in a summit or doing something

like that or we someplace where we can kind of close the door and really focus

on getting things done Jennifer just a super chat Kate we need more instant pot

recipe videos well there might be an instant pot video

going up on patreon Saturday yes no promises but we may have shot something

kate is working on getting some instant pot videos done on patreon so if you're

not already aware we do share a lot of other content on patreon that doesn't

happen on YouTube or our website and you can become part of the wtr family for as

little as five dollars a month all of that loop chats that we do just with our

WT are family members meetups and all kinds of random special things

we do over there so alright so going back to when we were talking about how

much we work someone asked although the work is time-consuming does it pay off

versus the demanding jobs you both had prior to becoming digital nomads we

definitely get paid a lot less you did you know nomads no but we are we are

much happier living this lifestyle we're able to cover our expenses and

that's really what we are hoping to do I would say this lifestyle even though

we're putting in more time and there is a lot of stress to get the work done get

it up and all the different things we have going on in regards to this company

that we've essentially started it is much more rewarding and like Kate and I

were actually talking about this last night there are times where if we don't

want to if we're not able to get a article or something up we can look at

each other and say you know what let's not do it or let's put up some extra

content and we have the power to make those decisions whereas we're in a

company before we're just another cog in the machine so no longer time so for

those of you who are wondering about what we used to do in our previous

corporate lives and actually how we went through the whole process of hitting the

road I wrote a book it's called take risks one couples journey to quit their

jobs and hit the open road and it's all about that year it took us from when we

came up with the crazy idea to finally hit the road and really live this

lifestyle and for those who haven't been following us for too long the Class B

was not our first RV we've been doing this for two and a half years now and we

used to have a much bigger RV prior to this ok right bud I'll try to sift

through this and maybe take another question ok this is funny do you make

appointments to stop and say hi to each other

arm's length away yeah we don't it's one of those things where if we can take

time off from each other by putting our headphones on or that we do but we're

around each other 24/7 in a van that's about 90 square feet so we don't really

have to make appointments to talkers you know hang out with each other one thing

we try to do every morning is over morning coffee and tea we'll either sit

outside or in here with Leo just kind of chat about what's going on what we have

planned for that day have a little morning meeting enjoy our drinks and

then we get to work or whatever else we have planned for the rest of the day but

I think going back to one of the challenges of being a digital nomad we

are limited by data this is we're over 30 minutes now and we're sucking down

quite a bit of data on our phones and we still need some for the rest of the

month until our plan resets on the fifth right yep yeah the fifth so I think it's

time to get going yeah but I would say you know for those of you who are tuning

in because you're interested in becoming a digital Nomad I would say yes there

are challenges of working on the road but we've found a way to make it work

and really enjoy it and I think you know if you end up doing it you'll figure out

what works slow for you exactly now at the beginning of this broadcast I

promised everyone a special announcement for all of you who are in Texas or

planning to be in Texas in February we are going to be announcing our Texas

meet up tomorrow on patreon so all of our wtr family members will get access

to that head on over there tomorrow and you will know what the he really is bump

in this table head over there tomorrow and check for the announcement because I

think it's going to be kind of cool in Texas should be a lot of fun.

Thank you guys so much for joining if you enjoyed this please give it a thumbs up

subscribe if you haven't already and for those of you who want to become

part of the WTRFamily head on over to Patreon and we will see you next

Wednesday. Bye guys!

Prepare a Flight Plan for Your Digital Marketing - Duration: 2:27.

So I'm flying here in this airplane…and you know what's interesting is when you have

to fly here, you have use a map, right?

So you can figure out where you're going. And it's really important.

So you've got to do all this, uh, like flight- planning stuff and you know, map out your routes;

make sure you know where you're gonna go, how you're gonna get there, make sure

you can avoid issues – you don't want to hit any towers or anything that may be out there.

You need to make sure you have all the right frequencies so that you communicate on the right channels…

You know what, I was thinking about it: it's very similar to digital marketing.

It's very similar to video and making sure that you have a strategy and a road map so

you can map out where you want to go, figure out how you're gonna get there, making sure

that you have the right vehicle and everything, so if you want to go–

––[radio interrupts]

––…so there's that. You know, so if you want to, like…

I dunno; you want to fly cross-country, you're not gonna take a little plane like this.

You know, if you want to go over to Seattle, it's gonna take you a little while.

I guess you could take something like this: like a jet, and get there a little bit faster.

It'd be a little bit more expensive, but if time is more important to you, then boom.

But you know– ––[radio interrupts]

–– Aw man, everybody's coming in at the exact same time.

That's gonna be fun. Alright. Let's see if we can beat 'em.

Anyways, what I was saying is, you know…you get up here and say, "I want to go over here,"

or "I want to go over there," and then you get up here and you realize,

"Oh, I didn't have the right tools. I really needed this type of plane,"

or, "we should have used a plane for that," or "it's going to take us longer

than we thought because we didn't think about it through."

That's exactly what it is like, uh, with marketing.

So it's really important to make sure you have a road map;

that's why we do these Road Map Sessions:

so that you can have the time to get out there and to plan before you get out

in the middle of the area and realize, "You know what? I made…

I made a really bad decision, and I didn't do this."

So…anyways, that's it. Newnan Traffic, Diamond 6-5-5 Delta Charlie,

left downwind for runway 1-4, Full Stop, Newnan Traffic. Jamie, I'm back!

–– He made it! –– [laughs]

Boom! That's how it's done! [whoops]

In the TechCrew group in our school,

we create projects using technology.

- In TechCrew there are many different departments

where we can work.

There is the coding department,

filming and graphic design.

- Hi, girls. all: Hi, Andrea.

- How are you? - Good.

- Hi, Andrea. - Hi.

- We have a lot to do today.

- Andrea is a teacher in our school.

A lot of students don't see her as a teacher,

but rather as a second mother

that some would like to have.

- Basically, she administers TechCrew,

and motivates us to keep going.

That way we do what we want.

- Uh, I have very good news.

- Today Andrea gave us a new goal.

We need to apply technology

in a dance that is being prepared

at Dance My Culture.

We have to present it in a week

at the MOMI Theater.

- I have a question. Do we know about the dance--

Is there a story behind the dance?

- That's a very good question.

I'm not sure.

Maybe we can introduce a story in the dance.

- She thinks that we can come up with ideas

along with the dancers

to create this digital dance

in which we can incorporate technology,

like adding more lights

in the dancer's attire.

- We have these Spheros.

♪ ♪

Right? There like spheres.

You guys can control them with your phones

o with the... with your tablets.

- An Sphero is a small robot

that has a motor that moves it

and changes its colors,

and we will program them

using an application.

- I had never worked with an Sphero.

I didn't know these of small robots existed

and that we could code them.

- I'm very excited and nervous

because it's new for me.

I'm also very proud

because I think my group and me can make it happen.

- This is the dancing studio.

Hi, girls.

- We got together with the dancers

to see the dance that we're adapting.

The dancers are part of the multicultural club

at our school.

[electronic music]

♪ ♪

- You all have a tutu, right?

¿All of you?

As dancers,

what theme do you want for your dance?

What theme?

- About a girl who is entering

a different world.

- Now that we've seen the dance,

we need to brainstorm

to see how to add technology to the dance.

♪ ♪

- Alright, let's watch the video

to see how the dancers start.

We see two start at the front and two in the back.

- The first stage is planning.

If we don't plan,

we can't get anything done.

We have to create a plan.

- Where do we want to put the Spheros?

- On the sides of each girl.

- I think they should enter from the sides.

- Okay. Do you want them in front of these girls

or in front of these girls?

- I think in front of these two,

because if we put them here,

when they move towards the back,

they could fall down.

- We could find metal flowers and add light to them.

- For the head? - Yes.

- I think we can incorporate

the theme of community.

Sheira and I could take pictures,

since we like photography,

of different murals in New York,

because we are from New York,

and add them to the background,

while the girls are dancing.

♪ ♪

Deren showed us today

the different projects she's had,

and taught us how we can integrate technology.

- This is one of my favorites.

It's a skirt,

but this you can actually program.

So this is called an arduino.

- It's a small computer.

When we give it instructions

through programming with a computer,

we can make it change colors

for a period of time.

- So these are also special.

So these are called fibro optic cables.

So what these do is they transmit light

from the top to the bottom,

so it's actually glowing at the same pattern

at the bottom of all of these little strands.

- I have a bow. - [laughs]

[electronic music]

- What if you, like, cut it short?

Do you think that the light would shine more?

- No, it's just all...

- When we went to Fab Cat Lab,

we saw that the skirt they had

was very long and the lights...

the fibro optic elements didn't give enough light.

So we think we can just take the...

the skirts from the area of the waist,

to use them on the tutus.

- Daisy is an ex TechCrew member.

She helps Andrea

in coding projects.

Now she's a student in a college for engineering.

- Uh-huh. - Oh, they're sensors!

- It's a light sensor.

- Like...like the dress. - Like at Fab Cab Lab.

- We were listening to the music

so we could time it

to know how to program it

and make the lights go on

in sync with the music, whether it goes fast or slow.

Then we have to make some conversions

so the arduino can read the program.

- We need a final idea of what we'll use at the end

for the final project and how to put it together

with the LED lights and the arduino

at the bottom of the skirt.

- I like how all the colors

connect with one...

- Story? - Yes.

- Marielly and I went to Welling Court,

a place close to our school

to take pictures that show our community,

to put in the animation for the dance.

Okay, we can take this one. - Yes.

- It shows the community.

And then we take one of Frida.

- Frida, yes. - Because it shows the...

both: Nationalities. - Yes.

- Okay. - There was one picture

that I really liked because it shows immigration,

refugees and my culture.

I thought that was important

and that we could add it to the dance and the animations.

- There are a log of Hispanics in our community,

so when they see this image they can connect with it.

- Okay, now we have the pictures in the computer.

Now we'll upload them to iMovie

so we can add them to the animation.

- Okay. - Okay?

Today we are in my house

and Sheira and I will work on the animations

to show while the girls dance.

We'll incorporate all the animations we created

and the music to put it in a iMovie

and to create a big video.

For how many seconds should we leave it on?

- I think it could be... Like 2.5?

- Point five? Uh-huh.

- Then... Have you done animations?

- Yes, I already did animations in Flash.

Something I had to learn

was to use Adobe Flash CS6.

That was... It took me about a year

trying to learn it

because it has many elements

that we can use.

We're going to use some frames

that will rotate and drop down,

while the girls dance.

We'll use it to create little frames.

Since they're different colors,

we can take the Spheros,

and make them the same color and program them,

but we have to talk to Marilyn y Nazaret first.

- So that... - So they can program them.

- What do you want to do first?

- These are the measurements for the stage

where the girls will dance.

We'll mark them on the floor.

- Today we have been programming the Spheros.

We were watching the video that we recorded,

trying to match the encoding to the music,

and trying to come up with ideas

on how to we wanted the Sphero to move.

We are making them change colors

using the Lightning Lab app.

We use it to make coding blocks

that we'll use to code the...the Sphero

and make it move.

We have to set the Heading and the Delay.

- Let's try it together.

- Yes, okay. First we'll calibrate the Spheros.

We're also making it change direction.

We want to coordinate it so it follows the dance moves.

- Is it ready?

- Yes. - One, two, three.

- Okay. We'll have to be careful

with that Sphero because it moved further away.

- The Spheros are not working perfectly.

We need to change a lot the frames coding

in the program.

- It wouldn't stop and went the other way.

So we need to add...

- One delay. - One delay.

- As I'm working with the Spheros,

I worry that one of the dancers may step on it

or... or not... or not... That it may lose control

and wont' be able to, uh, fix it during the dance.

- Nazaret, can you show me the video again?

I want to count how many times the dancers

move from side to side.

- In the beginning we wanted to make four Spheros,

but after seeing all the work needed

to make only two,

we decided to cut it down to two.

I feel kind of bad that we could make four,

but we'll do the best we can.

- Okay. Thank you.

- Hi. My name is Sheira.

I am 15 years old and this is my home.

These are my sisters Valeria and Julieta,

and we like to make crafts.

- We're making a flower,

but we're putting this on top of this.

And we'll... We can add whatever we want.

My favorite thing to do is reading.

I like this book

because it's about immigrants

and it has stories and tales

about immigrants that came to America.

I like to make memories of my friends,

so I take a lot of pictures of them.

I'm very happy to have gone to these events

about computer science,

because it shows I really like this.

I love to row.

It's my favorite sport.

This is candy from México.

When I grow up, I want to be an anthropologist,

and study the culture and the religions of Mexico.

I also like to take pictures.

[upbeat music]

Bye.

- How pretty!

- Today we are at the Museum of Moving Image,

and it'll be the first time we have

all the elements together, the Spheros,

the animation, the music, and the dancers,

presented all in the theater.

I am very nervous,

because I feel something is going to go wrong

o that maybe the tutus will turn off,

or the Spheros won't work.

Anything could go wrong and I'm very scared.

Turn it on when the music starts.

So, turn it on when you hear the music.

When the world drops down, they start dancing.

Okay? - Okay.

- Ready? - Yes.

- Sheira, can you play the music?

- Yes.

[electronic music]

♪ ♪

- Yes, one...

Uh, your skirt didn't turn on either?

- Mine did. - Oh.

- Did yours turn on?

- No, it just came on just now.

- Okay.

- We're going to try again.

- Okay. - Ready?

- Uh-huh. - It wasn't perfect.

One of the skirts wouldn't light up.

The rest were okay,

but one Sphero didn't coordinate with the dance moves

and it went all over the place. It was a disaster.

- Where do I have to push?

- [laughs] - I can add more tape,

but it won't do anything.

- But not all of it lights up.

No.

[both laugh with frustration]

- We have to fix the programming of the Spheros

and fix the tutus, and it's... very difficult

because the program on the tutus is not working.

No matter what, they won't light up.

We're getting close and don't know what to do.

I am very scared

because I don't think the tutus will work.

- Oh, no! The... Did you turn it off?

Did you turn it off?

- Uh...

- We decided to add headbands

at the last minute,

and decided to make them

the same color as the skirts,

but we still haven't programmed those,

and the show is tomorrow.

Besides that, we want the headbands

to have flowers

and a lace matching the color.

We have to get all that done by tomorrow,

including all the coding.

- This one lights.

This one also lights.

But the only problem

on this one is... - The only problem?

- Sheira, the only problem?

- We still have to... - The show is tomorrow.

- Somebody can help me.

What do you guys need to do?

- We already finished the skirts.

- We're finished. We're waiting for you guys.

- Okay, but...

- Hi, girls. all: Hi, Andrea.

- How did it go with the dancers yesterday?

- We're only missing some details,

like the headbands,

and I just need to change the battery on this one.

- How do you know it's just the battery?

- Because it worked before and the battery just died.

- Remember that happened to us too.

- And you fixed it, right?

- Okay. - Yes, but it took awhile.

- Okay, then change the battery.

Let's see if it works.

One of these that...that... What's wrong with these?

- Okay. This one needs to be...

- Welded again.

- Yes, and we need a battery on this one.

- We only have two Spheros. - Okay.

- So we think we can fix two of them.

- I thinks so, if we all help her,

because they're only two,

and that's... It's easy, right? - Yes.

- It's like one... It's just one battery.

- Eh...

And that'll be it.

I think it can take us a few minutes.

Maybe not such short minutes,

but a few minutes, and we can fix it,

if we all contribute.

[upbeat music]

- Today is the big day to present

the digital dance in front of everyone,

our family and friends.

I feel very nervous

because anything could go wrong,

and I don't know what to expect.

My name Warrington Hudlin,

and I welcome you all to this amazing, amazing place.

Tell us about your project.

- Basically, we had to create a digital dance,

which is a task given to us by our teacher Andrea.

And basically it's just a dance that involves technology

so we use like Spheros. We also use Arduinos,

and other stuff like that.

- Thank you. We hope you enjoy...

all: ...the show! [laughter]
