With all the attention surrounding the release of the latest version of ChatGPT-4 and its ability to understand images, I’ve handed the reigns solely to Glenn for this week’s 5 in 5.

In this episode he explains how you can use AI to translate the transcript of any YouTube video into any home language, whilst simultaneously adjusting the technical language for your learners.

Here are a few of my favorite learning channels, just to get you started. Some you might know; others you may not. Oh, and be sure to screen anything yourself first to decide if it's right for your students—before showing it in class.

  • Above the Noise: OK, full disclosure! We're friends with folks over at KQED's Above the Noise, and we've collaborated on a handful of videos. Each episode delves into the research behind a variety of newsworthy or trending topics, from "How Much Screen Time Is Too Much?" to cancel culture, conspiracy theories, and beyond.
  • Mark Rober: My 9-year-old is obsessed with this channel—and I'm actually cool with that! A former NASA engineer, Rober embarks on new engineering and design adventures in every episode, usually aimed at doing some good for the world.
  • Physics Girl: Science communicator Dianna Cowern hosts these fun videos that delve into the physics phenomena of everyday life (like this exploration of the physics of skateboarding with skate legend Rodney Mullen!).
  • Vihart: Imagine a zany mashup of music and math in videos that are genuinely off the wall but somehow work in a very unique way. That's Vihart. Enjoy!
  • Crash Course: I'm including this one with a big caveat: My philosophy is that the best YouTube videos should add to your lesson—they shouldn't be the lesson itself. Despite this, I do think Crash Course has its time and place, if only because it's so comprehensive. Hank and John Green (yes, that John Green!) host these friendly overviews of just about every school-related subject imaginable, which can come in handy.

Adobe has provided instructions for removing Flash on Windows and Mac computers on its website.

You will need to decide which of these film suggestions aligns with your child’s age, interest, and maturity level. As Delaney mentions, consider taking a couple of nights to watch a whole documentary together. Suggest to your kids, especially documentary-hesitant kids, that you only watch half of it to start with, or even less.

The 12 are linked below but go to Delaney’s post to read a description about them first before you go and look for them in Netflix or other services you subscribe to. Also, look at some of the others recommended in the comments section on the same post.

I know there are built-in ways to do it for Mac and Windows, but sometimes I need to upload the cloud and get a link to the image to paste in a comment box. That’s where Lightshot comes in handy. You can download the app (free for Mac and Windows) or instal as an extension in your Chrome browser. Watch this short video on how to use Lightshot.

Thanks to the regulars at the PTG Tech tips last Tuesday. We explored how we use Apple Classroom the Guided Access on our school iPads. At the next event in January, we will be exploring the virtual reality devices we use at Patana.

Books are not like movies; they don’t necessarily come with an age rating. Publishers don’t list the objectionable content on the back of the book, in the copyright statement, or even on their website. Some books will include an age recommendation on the inside front jacket flap, but that’s rare. Often, you’ll find the lines between middle grade books (ages 9-12), young adult book (ages 12-18), and adult books become blurry. So what to do? Other than reading the book yourself, or asking our friendly and knowledgeable librarians, there are some places you can go for help:

Thanks to Miss Kim in Year 2 for passing this onto me. As a parent, you can register at the Oxford Owl website for free https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/user/sign_up.html and then explore the vast number of e-books they have released temporarily.

It’s a read-aloud opportunity not to be missed.

I hope you’re all safe and well. Some tech related updates from me:

  • All: Kahoot! Premium: use this link to access the premium features for free to the end of term
  • Secondary: within the iTeacher app (school code: PAT) you’ll now see that, in any double period, the second period is by default registered when you take the register for the first period:
  • All: If you regularly take screen shots and annotate them then try Screenshot. It’s like your regular snipping tool on steroids. The shortcut keys will save you time
  • All: MS Teams updates: we should be seeing the 3x3 grid view of students and the virtual hands up arriving over the next couple of days – fingers crossed

This article came into my inbox yesterday and I have shared it with a few colleagues already. I though its balanced approach to a contentious issue worth sharing with you. Rather than interpret the article myself, here are a few excerpts to whet your appetite, encouraging you to foster your own “reading resilience” and engage with the full article:

“Public anxiety about the capacity of digital-age children and young adults to read anything longer than a screen grab has come to feel like moral panic. But there is plenty of evidence to suggest we must take such unease seriously….”

Serendipitously, I was searching Audible and came across an area of the site I had not seen before. They have conveniently classified their catalogue by length of time. So, next time you’re on an adventure and you know the approximate length of the journey, you can search for something to listen to based on genre and journey time.

Have a fantastic weekend.

Last September, we announced a series of changes that we’d be making to better protect kids and their privacy on YouTube, and to address the concerns raised to us by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Specifically, that all creators would be required to designate their content as made for kids or not made for kids in YouTube Studio, and that personal information from anyone watching a video designated as made for kids would be treated as coming from a child, regardless of the age of the user.

We were lucky enough to come back early enough to catch weaver birds being born in a nest just outside of our kitchen window. Rather than disturb them we set up an old phone to monitor them remotely. We first live streamed them using YouTube but then I decided to use Alfred instead. YouTube was draining the battery far too quickly and required the screen to be on all of the time, causing the phone to get too hot. Alfred is free to use and gives you a remote view of your live feed, motion detection with alerts, free cloud storage, a two-way audio feed and use of both the front and rear cameras. To unlock additional features, like higher-resolution viewing and recording, zoom capabilities, ad removal and 30-day cloud storage, you can upgrade to Alfred Premium.

I was in the Secondary Art area on Friday visiting a colleague and noticed the clock near the reflection pool was not working. Many times in the Student Council meetings I hear our students lament, and rightly so, about our school clocks being wrong or simply not working. It got me thinking about how members of our community could easily report an issue with a clock, on the spot, within 3 clicks. After a quick five minute Google search I think I may have the answer. If each clock was numbered and its location documented then we could use a unique QR code to send an email directly to Buildings and Grounds (B&G) to come and fix it, or set it to the correct time. It works like this:

The information available online is a fantastic tool for this, but we have to filter the content through a lens of scepticism, be strategic with our searching. Nonetheless, I’m a firm believer that the more informed you are about your ailments, the further that goes to the help you in the healing process, some may say the placebo effect. On that note, lately I seem to have become somewhat of an ‘expert’ on sleep in others eyes, and am finding many of my day-to-day conversations with colleagues and students gravitating to the subject. I’m no expert, just sharing my own journey and acting on the research I’ve digested. I do think it’s great that a large swathe of our community is now talking about the importance of sleep. The mere fact that this (something we do for a third of our lives and significantly impacts the other two thirds) is part of a conversation at the ‘kitchen table’ is a step in the right direction for our well-being. The real expert is in the video below. Thanks to Thomas Brookes for sending this my way. If you can’t watch all of it (it’s very long) – then skip to 5:00 minutes into the interview and watch for 5 minutes until the 10:00 minute mark. It’s fascinating.

I can see that you would be drawn (no pun intended) to pen and touch input. Having the ability to switch modes, from keyboard input to touch/draw, so effortlessly makes you want to used your hands in a different way. I just wish the cost were not so prohibitive. I can imagine our Art and DT teachers would love this as their main device in the classroom - along with many others too.

I must say that I did not think a tetherless-6-degrees of freedom device at a reasonable price would come out so quickly (available early 2019). I'm glad we decided not to invest in a tethered headset last year.....

I've been impressed with the MR and AR apps that have been coming out lately, ever since Apple nudged the ecosystem along with their latest phones, but the way in which VR can transport the senses almost instantly is its X-factor. How these devices can be integrated into the learning environment is a topic of debate, but for now it's an area to keep abreast of since it's certainly not going to go away.

Do you remember the baby shark eggs we had in the lounge area? Last term in the foundation stage we set up a GoPro camera to take photos of the turtles laying their eggs. Like many families I’m sure you have one or two old mobile phones sitting in the ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’ drawer. I do and when the boys found a new nest in the garden before the summer we set up an old iPhone to watch the weaver bird feed it’s chicks without disturbing them. Sadly I don’t have any photos or video from the even; the memories are good enough. The free app I used to live-stream from an old phone to my new one is one of the tips in the 4Ts today.

In the welcome address at the 1-day ReseachEd conference they mentioned that some colleagues had come from as far as Thailand to attend. Sean and I looked at each other in disbelief - I had not told them where we had come from - it turns out that a Patana alumni, Roo Stenning, was there in the audience too! It was good to catch up with him during the lunch break. Anyway, the link to today's post is that Alex Quigley is now working at The Education Endowment Foundation and their first podcast (the new) has just been released. I think it is a good start to the series with the first episode on metacognition. So far, on the way home in the car, I've listened to the first 27 minutes in which Alex unpicks metacognition in a teacher-friendly way, giving useful examples and the common misconceptions around the topic. Catch the episode on the link below:

Day 6https://patana.fireflycloud.asia/technology-for-learning/technology-for-learning-all-users/technology-for-learning-blog/can-you-predict-the-future-day-6Brian TaylorWhen I get home from work it's playtime with the children - I don't have the desire to write a blog post after spending a lot of the day in front of a screen, in and out of meetings or teaching. It's family time - time to switch off the devices and go analogue. So, at present, I'm sort of writing this post a day behind in the morning, if that makes sense.

Digital travels.....

1) This guy has a lot to say about the design of technology - I cannot believe his talk was four years ago, he predicted the future with all of the big tech companies now focusing on the 'time spent' on their platform. Watch the talk by Tristan Harris given in December 2014 (it was published on YouTube in 2016).

One gem from the 5th November was the sample implementation plan EEF gave. I really like the fact that it focuses on the impact on the learner and the 'active ingredients'. Nice to see the word fidelity in there and giving short, medium and long-term plans helps too:

The first is a piece on the evolution of Facebook's community guidelines - what is (to them) acceptable to post or not. There are other articles I've watched on this issue - filter bubbles etc, but this one does quite a good job on presenting the timeline of the development of their guidelines. It will be interesting to see where they go with this as very few of the younger generation (school age) go anywhere near the Facebook platform (they use their products however, namely Instagram) and the older generation (mine for example) are becoming more disillusioned with the data breaches and growing lack of confidence in the 'purity' of posts on their wall. Take a listen for yourself:

Early on in the episode Seth mentions that "all of us play games". This resonated with me since we have a parents' workshop on computer gaming coming up on November 22nd. Many of our parents, including myself prior to listening to this podcast, would say "I am not a gamer". Seth goes on to explain that many of our day-to-day decisions are part of the game of life - what to wear each day or what we post on our social media platforms. I'm considering using this analogy in the workshop - I'll have to listen to it again a couple of times over the next week to help me make the decision on whether or not to use it.

#105: A Tip, Tool, Text & Tutorial

I don’t know if you are like me, but on the first day of each month I get a small nagging feeling that I should take the opportunity to do something healthier or change an annoying habit. Thankfully the feeling quickly wears off as you progress further into the month. I suppose it’s something akin to the New Year resolution(s) we struggle to keep. So, with that in mind, and the fact that I’m writing this on the 1st of November, I’ve made a commitment to myself (having read this by Seth Godin) to write a blog post every day this month. Here a link to my daily blog for November, if you would like to follow my endeavour then do please subscribe.

As a parent I’m often found inadvertently admonishing or complimenting the wrong sibling. At first I thought it was just me, but I’ve witnessed the confusion with my parents, our friends and the boys’ teachers. When naming your children it is simply something you don’t think about at the time - nobody tells you not to do it! So, with the 3T’s in mind I would like to change the format of this technology article slightly. Each week I would like to give you four T’s, namely:

During Wednesday’s PTG Tech Talk I showed parents the new feature in iOS 12 called Screen Time. With it, we have a new tool to help prevent excessive screen time for our children, partners, and of course ourselves. The tool lets us limit overall time and allow you to control the time spent on specific apps. It also does the same for websites and video games. This is a real game changer because when the controls are built into the operating system of the device itself, it makes it really difficult for anyone to find ways around the restrictions. In particular, you now have the ability to see your own data on your digital diet – this will really help scaffold conversations with those around you on what is a healthy ‘phone-use’ lifestyle. Watch this useful guide to Apple iOS 12 'Screen Time' for parents. If you’re asking those around you to change their habits then you best role-model it, like they say: “you’ve gotta walk the talk!”

The most powerful part of the morning was when one of our Year 13 Digital Leaders shared with us her journey to discovering the balance in her life with Social Media and the many other digital distractions we have to deal with. The short video above from The Atlantic gives a healthy perspective on how we, as parents, can help support our children in making sure they too make good decisions.

See you at the Fun Run on Sunday!

IS/IT plan to synchronise the password you use to login to the Patana systems (WiFi, email etc - commonly known as your Active Directory password) and the password you use to access your Patana Google account.

In other words, the password used for Patana systems and your Patana Google account will be the same, and any new password generated by the Patana systems will be automatically synchronised with your Patana Google account. The sync is 1-way, meaning that when you change your password in Patana it will also change in your Patana Google account – not the other way round.

During assemblies I ask the audience to put their hands up if they own an iPhone. Regardless of the increasing popularity of Android phones, the iPhone still has the majority share of the market in our community. So, I’m happy to see Apple responding to general concerns about screen time and the digital distractions of our mobile phones. In the latest iOS 12 update Apple have unveiled features that give you data on screen time and enhanced do-not-disturb features. With this information you will be able to make informed decisions to help take control of the time you spend interacting with your device.

The Toshiba model we have been using for the past 3 years has served us well and many staff have been happy with it - several of them asking if they could buy back the device - always a good sign! However, the new replacement model from Toshiba, although with great specs and very light, did not have enough ports (2xUSB type C), which ultimately I think would have proved frustrating for staff. The Dell has a rugged design and relatively good specs. We managed to push them to offer the 512GB SSD hard drive so there will be a few more happy campers. My only complaint so far is the cramped keyboard - but after time no doubt I will get used to it, and the stiff hinge - no doubt it's like that for a reason. The sound on the new Toshiba was poor, as well as a very loud fan. The sound on the Dell is very good - almost as loud as a MacBook Air. I'll keep adding material (manuals, reviews etc) to this blog post for others to refer to.

I'm looking forward to the Deconstructing Devices ECA coming up in block 3. Some of the students have come up to me and mentioned they are looking forward to it :)

New ECA for Block 3: Deconstructing Devices

Deconstructing devices and learning how their component parts make up the whole is a dying art. In this tinkering ECA we will take every-day donated devices and meticulously dismantle them into their fundamental pieces, learning on the tear-down journey how they integrate with each other to make the device work as a whole.

My thoughts: lots of research now back this up - focus on one task and get it done! Two thirds of the population believes a myth that has been propagated for over a century: that we use only 10% of our brains. Hardly! Our neuron-dense brains have evolved to use the least amount of energy while carrying the most information possible -- a feat that requires the entire brain. In the second video Richard E. Cytowic debunks this neurological myth (and explains why we aren't so good at multitasking).

"When it comes to finding content on Google Play, our goal is to empower parents by giving them practical information and better tools for making decisions. Our new family star badges convey the specific age range that an app, movie or book was designed for. On our app detail pages, you’ll now find a new label telling you when family apps are ad-supported and new locally relevant content maturity ratings. Finally, Google Play has updated parental controls, so you can restrict downloads, purchases or streaming of mature content.

As a parent you can use them to your advantage to start conversations with your children about aspects of life that simple day-to-day interactions may not explore.

Some parents establish an informal contract with their children and their allotted screen time - this is also a worthwhile exercise since the children have ownership in determining the dos and don'ts and are more likely to adhere to them. Bottom line is we are all role models, and showing an interest in everything your child does (virtual or not) is the key ingredient.

1) content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material

What you can do though is turn that opportunity into a learning experience. With a well chosen, fun, entertaining and ultimately educational app locked down so that your children cannot navigate out or purchase things via the apps store your conscience is assuaged.
