mm Yeah, here. Thank you. Yeah,

2
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.980 A:middle L:90%
I was told that that was some good music.

3
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:21.809 A:middle L:90%
I don't know. Usually, usually I like to

4
00:00:21.809 --> 00:00:24.269 A:middle L:90%
come in with some EDM and just kind of rocked

5
00:00:24.269 --> 00:00:25.949 A:middle L:90%
the house. But I was watching all these Youtube

6
00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:28.559 A:middle L:90%
videos, all these people jumping in their seats in

7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.469 A:middle L:90%
the stands and I was getting all jacked up and

8
00:00:30.469 --> 00:00:32.320 A:middle L:90%
I'm like, there are so many of these awesome

9
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.950 A:middle L:90%
videos and even the announcers are getting excited. And

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.270 A:middle L:90%
I was talking to Justin and said, you know

11
00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:38.609 A:middle L:90%
, I think I need to come to a football

12
00:00:38.609 --> 00:00:40.630 A:middle L:90%
game because it seems like it's pretty fun. Like

13
00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:43.250 A:middle L:90%
there was that Miami game a few years ago that

14
00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:44.859 A:middle L:90%
it was pretty good. I was like, oh

15
00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:46.380 A:middle L:90%
my gosh, the Miami game, you got to

16
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:48.939 A:middle L:90%
go to this. So yeah, thanks patty for

17
00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:52.049 A:middle L:90%
the introduction. 144 days on the road last year

18
00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:54.039 A:middle L:90%
was a lot, which means there was a lot

19
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.859 A:middle L:90%
of coffee intake. And I was, I was

20
00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:58.560 A:middle L:90%
thinking about this keynote. I was thinking about the

21
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.520 A:middle L:90%
fact that, you know, I want to try

22
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.750 A:middle L:90%
to just sort of insert some thoughts into your minds

23
00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:03.859 A:middle L:90%
as you sort of go and process the day and

24
00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:07.269 A:middle L:90%
come up with these topics and you're in conversations with

25
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.439 A:middle L:90%
one another. Uh, to try to instigate a

26
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.409 A:middle L:90%
little bit kind of provoke kind of prognosticate because I've

27
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:12.780 A:middle L:90%
been right about this stuff for a long time.

28
00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:15.400 A:middle L:90%
For a little while, there was kind of a

29
00:01:15.409 --> 00:01:17.359 A:middle L:90%
lonely place, There was a lot of us doing

30
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.329 A:middle L:90%
any of this kind of stuff. But first and

31
00:01:19.329 --> 00:01:19.500 A:middle L:90%
foremost, I just want to say that this is

32
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:23.069 A:middle L:90%
obviously a very sort of device friendly event. You

33
00:01:23.069 --> 00:01:25.930 A:middle L:90%
know, if you're looking down at your phone,

34
00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:26.939 A:middle L:90%
your ipad, that's cool. Get in the prayer

35
00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:30.459 A:middle L:90%
position. I'm totally stoked if I don't see you

36
00:01:30.459 --> 00:01:32.489 A:middle L:90%
looking at me cause I know you're tweeting, you're

37
00:01:32.489 --> 00:01:34.359 A:middle L:90%
not playing candy crush, right? Let's just and

38
00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:38.500 A:middle L:90%
Just don't pay, right? Don't pay the$0.99

39
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:38.950 A:middle L:90%
. It's not worth it. You know, you're

40
00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:41.939 A:middle L:90%
going to just go into so much debt playing that

41
00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:45.829 A:middle L:90%
game now. Obviously, please feel free to use

42
00:01:45.829 --> 00:01:47.849 A:middle L:90%
the hashtag. It's s a tech V. A

43
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:49.890 A:middle L:90%
. For today. Some of you are like,

44
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:51.700 A:middle L:90%
I don't know what a hashtag is. That's cool

45
00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:53.060 A:middle L:90%
. You will learn. I'm sure they helped you

46
00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.989 A:middle L:90%
out. You got it figured out now it's cool

47
00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:57.859 A:middle L:90%
. You had like two tutors over here helping you

48
00:01:57.859 --> 00:01:59.590 A:middle L:90%
figure it out. It's all good. Those of

49
00:01:59.590 --> 00:02:00.840 A:middle L:90%
you that have blackberries, just remove the battery because

50
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.060 A:middle L:90%
it's not really a phone. Mhm It's cool.

51
00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:07.400 A:middle L:90%
You're used to taking the battery out anyway. I

52
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.000 A:middle L:90%
mean for those resets that you have to do instagram

53
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.900 A:middle L:90%
, twitter, it's the same username. It's eric

54
00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:15.979 A:middle L:90%
stoller auto, correct? Will mess it up though

55
00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:20.289 A:middle L:90%
and change it to eric stroller. That's why I'm

56
00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:23.319 A:middle L:90%
on a moving walkway stoller's can go on escalators and

57
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.939 A:middle L:90%
moving walkways, strollers cannot as you're sort of thinking

58
00:02:25.939 --> 00:02:30.099 A:middle L:90%
about that, go for it now, You've been

59
00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:31.840 A:middle L:90%
peeping me a little bit here, Virginia Tech people

60
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.270 A:middle L:90%
, I was noticing, I've been getting a lot

61
00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:36.490 A:middle L:90%
of google searches for my name and this is actually

62
00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:38.000 A:middle L:90%
from the library, the librarians have been looking at

63
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.810 A:middle L:90%
me um and I was sort of thinking to myself

64
00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:43.759 A:middle L:90%
, wow, I'm preparing for Virginia tech in Virginia

65
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.860 A:middle L:90%
Tech is preparing for me, you know, and

66
00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:47.590 A:middle L:90%
it's like I'm a super nerdy stats guy, like

67
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:51.810 A:middle L:90%
I love the data piece and so yeah, lots

68
00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:53.750 A:middle L:90%
of Virginia tech people, googling my name, which

69
00:02:53.750 --> 00:02:54.550 A:middle L:90%
is a little scary like what's going on there all

70
00:02:54.550 --> 00:02:58.349 A:middle L:90%
, googling my name and checking out my website and

71
00:02:58.349 --> 00:03:00.189 A:middle L:90%
whatnot. And I've been doing this for for a

72
00:03:00.189 --> 00:03:05.159 A:middle L:90%
while now. I think I started blogging in 2004

73
00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:07.180 A:middle L:90%
just for myself. It was part of grad school

74
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:08.509 A:middle L:90%
. I didn't really know what I was doing and

75
00:03:08.509 --> 00:03:10.710 A:middle L:90%
I was just writing stuff and I didn't really know

76
00:03:10.710 --> 00:03:13.789 A:middle L:90%
what blogging was all about. But then I got

77
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.759 A:middle L:90%
this invitation to write for Inside Higher Ed and I

78
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.000 A:middle L:90%
started Actually in July of 2010, so I've just

79
00:03:19.009 --> 00:03:21.530 A:middle L:90%
been doing it for about three years now And I

80
00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:23.129 A:middle L:90%
hadn't done the math for a while. I want

81
00:03:23.129 --> 00:03:25.020 A:middle L:90%
to see how many posts that I had written for

82
00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:29.500 A:middle L:90%
inside higher ed. I'm up to 247, which

83
00:03:29.509 --> 00:03:30.060 A:middle L:90%
I was at an event about a year and a

84
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:32.539 A:middle L:90%
half ago. It was a Nasca conference and I

85
00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:35.979 A:middle L:90%
was at a technology session, It was sort of

86
00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:38.270 A:middle L:90%
social media and technology and I'm sitting in the back

87
00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:39.060 A:middle L:90%
, you know, I'm trying to keep it cool

88
00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:40.439 A:middle L:90%
. I don't anybody know, I'm in the room

89
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.639 A:middle L:90%
, whatever, you know, I don't want to

90
00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.379 A:middle L:90%
make them nervous. And at the end of it

91
00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:46.960 A:middle L:90%
, there's this conversation around who's, who's doing this

92
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.550 A:middle L:90%
stuff, who's writing about student affairs and technology.

93
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.740 A:middle L:90%
I'm sitting back hoping maybe someone will say something about

94
00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:55.289 A:middle L:90%
my blog. It's the title of the blog Student

95
00:03:55.289 --> 00:03:59.840 A:middle L:90%
affairs and technology. Nobody like, we don't know

96
00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:00.889 A:middle L:90%
, there's nobody writing about this and I'm like,

97
00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:02.509 A:middle L:90%
man, I don't know what I gotta do,

98
00:04:02.509 --> 00:04:05.259 A:middle L:90%
like tattooed on my face or something, but I

99
00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:09.240 A:middle L:90%
want to share a whole bunch of sort of blog

100
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.979 A:middle L:90%
posts and ideas that I've written about because I think

101
00:04:11.990 --> 00:04:14.229 A:middle L:90%
it helps me remember kind of what I want to

102
00:04:14.229 --> 00:04:17.180 A:middle L:90%
talk about sneaky as well as gives you some ideas

103
00:04:17.189 --> 00:04:20.199 A:middle L:90%
for today because some of this stuff, you know

104
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:21.889 A:middle L:90%
, it's not as if it's that new or cutting

105
00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:24.300 A:middle L:90%
edge, but we still kind of treat it that

106
00:04:24.300 --> 00:04:27.199 A:middle L:90%
way as a profession just kind of really quickly though

107
00:04:27.209 --> 00:04:28.720 A:middle L:90%
. How many of you are grad students? I

108
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.149 A:middle L:90%
want to know how many grad students have got in

109
00:04:30.149 --> 00:04:31.829 A:middle L:90%
the room. Yeah, okay, good. I'm

110
00:04:31.829 --> 00:04:38.459 A:middle L:90%
going to terrify you now. I tweeted this actually

111
00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:41.399 A:middle L:90%
yesterday, this is like fresh off the twitter sphere

112
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.389 A:middle L:90%
, pretty much I tweeted this last night, there

113
00:04:43.389 --> 00:04:46.519 A:middle L:90%
was a blog post I wrote pretty much five years

114
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.829 A:middle L:90%
ago and it was about boldly going when it comes

115
00:04:49.829 --> 00:04:51.490 A:middle L:90%
to student affairs and technology. It's sort of like

116
00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:56.980 A:middle L:90%
jerry Maguire esque peace sort of manifesto about technology and

117
00:04:56.980 --> 00:05:00.500 A:middle L:90%
student affairs and, and I'm talking about facebook and

118
00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:01.019 A:middle L:90%
I'm talking about how, you know, we used

119
00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:02.959 A:middle L:90%
to talk about instant messaging as if it was the

120
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.470 A:middle L:90%
final frontier and you know, this is kind of

121
00:05:05.470 --> 00:05:08.540 A:middle L:90%
cool tech and how we've kind of moved beyond that

122
00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:11.230 A:middle L:90%
thankfully. But I was reading through this piece last

123
00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:12.509 A:middle L:90%
night, I hadn't seen it for a while and

124
00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:15.189 A:middle L:90%
I thought to myself, I'm still saying a lot

125
00:05:15.189 --> 00:05:17.019 A:middle L:90%
of this same stuff and I'm five years removed from

126
00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:19.769 A:middle L:90%
this piece that I wrote and so either I'm doing

127
00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:23.160 A:middle L:90%
something really wrong or I've just created my own perfect

128
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.569 A:middle L:90%
business model. I haven't decided yet. Mhm And

129
00:05:26.569 --> 00:05:28.649 A:middle L:90%
so a friend of mine, Jeff little tweeted this

130
00:05:28.649 --> 00:05:29.339 A:middle L:90%
out, he said, you know, I know

131
00:05:29.339 --> 00:05:30.300 A:middle L:90%
plenty of people wouldn't guess that that was five years

132
00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.089 A:middle L:90%
old if I stripped away the date and I was

133
00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:35.230 A:middle L:90%
thinking to myself, we have so much work to

134
00:05:35.230 --> 00:05:38.980 A:middle L:90%
do because the state of technology and student affairs because

135
00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:40.550 A:middle L:90%
you all are here because you drank the kool aid

136
00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:42.449 A:middle L:90%
right? Like you're, you came to an essay

137
00:05:42.449 --> 00:05:44.949 A:middle L:90%
tech conference. You're kind of like the people,

138
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.259 A:middle L:90%
I'm preaching to the choir, but you go back

139
00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:49.240 A:middle L:90%
to your school or here and just like we're kind

140
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.110 A:middle L:90%
of like this still in many ways like our technology

141
00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:55.649 A:middle L:90%
state is still kind of antiquated, right? Like

142
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:58.040 A:middle L:90%
we're not even talking star trek if we're lucky,

143
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.350 A:middle L:90%
you know, maybe we've got these in our offices

144
00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:01.740 A:middle L:90%
, anybody have one of these, anybody know what

145
00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:04.769 A:middle L:90%
this is, Commodore 64. Yeah, this is

146
00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:09.519 A:middle L:90%
my very first computer in rural Iowa was the Commodore

147
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.459 A:middle L:90%
64. It's a phenomenal device. You connect it

148
00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:15.370 A:middle L:90%
to a television actually to get on there and the

149
00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:17.000 A:middle L:90%
floppy drive and all that stuff. And then anybody

150
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.029 A:middle L:90%
ever have this. Yeah, they turn them into

151
00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:24.040 A:middle L:90%
fish bowls now. Uh, Make sure I don't

152
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.209 A:middle L:90%
get in your way to. I know I've got

153
00:06:25.209 --> 00:06:27.410 A:middle L:90%
this like you had to sit over here, right

154
00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:29.399 A:middle L:90%
? There's like 80 billion seats over here and you

155
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:30.449 A:middle L:90%
just like, we're gonna go over here because we

156
00:06:30.449 --> 00:06:34.100 A:middle L:90%
need you to have a wider arc. It's cool

157
00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:38.300 A:middle L:90%
. I'm, and then we're, you know,

158
00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:42.139 A:middle L:90%
as some typewriters and we're still faxing. I've got

159
00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:44.439 A:middle L:90%
friends actually. They like faxing. It's like a

160
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.079 A:middle L:90%
retro thing anybody like to fax in here. See

161
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.480 A:middle L:90%
it's always one. She's like, I like the

162
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.540 A:middle L:90%
facts. I like to send blank pieces of paper

163
00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:55.889 A:middle L:90%
through the phone lines too because I never know which

164
00:06:55.889 --> 00:06:58.269 A:middle L:90%
side it's on or whatever. It's always flipping around

165
00:06:58.269 --> 00:07:00.699 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. And then did you see this where

166
00:07:00.709 --> 00:07:04.029 A:middle L:90%
the final sort of telegraph service finally shut down in

167
00:07:04.029 --> 00:07:06.939 A:middle L:90%
the world over in India? It was just the

168
00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:10.709 A:middle L:90%
other day just recently, this just happened this summer

169
00:07:11.449 --> 00:07:13.410 A:middle L:90%
. I was thinking to myself, gosh, the

170
00:07:13.410 --> 00:07:15.250 A:middle L:90%
state of student affairs technology actually isn't that far away

171
00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:17.879 A:middle L:90%
from this stuff, Like we're still kind of like

172
00:07:18.569 --> 00:07:24.740 A:middle L:90%
, it's pretty bad. And, and so I

173
00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.410 A:middle L:90%
shared this yesterday when I was talking with folks at

174
00:07:26.410 --> 00:07:28.240 A:middle L:90%
Virginia Tech with the division of student affairs and I

175
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.930 A:middle L:90%
was thinking to myself, I get asked to speak

176
00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:32.579 A:middle L:90%
at a lot of schools to talk about digital identity

177
00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:38.660 A:middle L:90%
and social media. And 99 of the time the

178
00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:42.689 A:middle L:90%
conversation turns into how the organization adapts and changes and

179
00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:45.269 A:middle L:90%
lets people who have vision and creativity and thinking about

180
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:46.730 A:middle L:90%
innovation, how they let that sort of slide into

181
00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:50.310 A:middle L:90%
the conversation every single time. It's not about twitter

182
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.019 A:middle L:90%
facebook or any of the tools, it's about how

183
00:07:54.019 --> 00:07:57.230 A:middle L:90%
the organization adapts to change. And so when you

184
00:07:57.230 --> 00:07:59.540 A:middle L:90%
think about some of the student affairs stuff, especially

185
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:01.870 A:middle L:90%
the grad students, this is not a zone where

186
00:08:01.870 --> 00:08:03.649 A:middle L:90%
I can walk to. Apparently, we're just gonna

187
00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:05.819 A:middle L:90%
, we're gonna leave that one alone right there.

188
00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:09.670 A:middle L:90%
It's off limits. But in technology land when it

189
00:08:09.670 --> 00:08:13.069 A:middle L:90%
comes to student affairs, we haven't really done much

190
00:08:13.069 --> 00:08:13.870 A:middle L:90%
right, because we're from the counseling profession, were

191
00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:16.790 A:middle L:90%
from the helping profession. What do we do?

192
00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:20.180 A:middle L:90%
We're face to face even one of the topics on

193
00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.689 A:middle L:90%
the vote on the twitter poll. Did you see

194
00:08:22.689 --> 00:08:26.209 A:middle L:90%
that was is this technology keeping us further and further

195
00:08:26.209 --> 00:08:28.449 A:middle L:90%
away from the students that we serve? Mhm.

196
00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:31.309 A:middle L:90%
I thought to myself, so that means you don't

197
00:08:31.309 --> 00:08:35.009 A:middle L:90%
get to use email or phones. What about online

198
00:08:35.009 --> 00:08:39.570 A:middle L:90%
only students do you serve in them as well?

199
00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:41.429 A:middle L:90%
And you're in student affairs because I think we're supposed

200
00:08:41.429 --> 00:08:43.419 A:middle L:90%
to serve all students, correct me if I'm wrong

201
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.110 A:middle L:90%
. And so this whole change thing reminded me of

202
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.620 A:middle L:90%
my dad, Yeah, this is Greg stoller and

203
00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:52.759 A:middle L:90%
I believe this is his very first text message.

204
00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:58.440 A:middle L:90%
And I thought to myself, my dad still prints

205
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.980 A:middle L:90%
off all of his emails. Yeah, every single

206
00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:03.830 A:middle L:90%
one. It's really bad. My my brother and

207
00:09:03.830 --> 00:09:07.370 A:middle L:90%
I, we don't email dad. We email mom

208
00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:09.220 A:middle L:90%
so that she can read them to him. Uh

209
00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:11.100 A:middle L:90%
, but I thought to myself, if my dad

210
00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:15.230 A:middle L:90%
can change and get a little closer to modernity,

211
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.220 A:middle L:90%
we can as a profession, he's not fully there

212
00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:22.720 A:middle L:90%
yet. But when he starts shortening words, I'm

213
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.289 A:middle L:90%
going to be terrified. Right? When he spells

214
00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:28.039 A:middle L:90%
people PPL he doesn't BTW. And my mom sent

215
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:28.600 A:middle L:90%
me a text the other day and it had NBD

216
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.070 A:middle L:90%
in it. And I thought I'm just not cool

217
00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:33.250 A:middle L:90%
with that mom. I am not cool with that

218
00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:35.740 A:middle L:90%
. Now. The state of student affairs. Technology

219
00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.169 A:middle L:90%
is kind of all over the map because when we

220
00:09:37.169 --> 00:09:39.139 A:middle L:90%
talk about technology and student affairs, oftentimes we conflate

221
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:43.399 A:middle L:90%
it with social media. We sort of take technology

222
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:43.750 A:middle L:90%
and we sort of say it's just social media,

223
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:46.980 A:middle L:90%
it's the communications technology piece, right? As opposed

224
00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:50.029 A:middle L:90%
to technology is sort of this massive umbrella which includes

225
00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:54.309 A:middle L:90%
social media, but it also includes our information systems

226
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.370 A:middle L:90%
are hardware, our facilities, there's a lot of

227
00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:58.659 A:middle L:90%
technology that we use on a daily basis because when

228
00:09:58.659 --> 00:10:01.620 A:middle L:90%
you look at our functional areas, it's all over

229
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:05.590 A:middle L:90%
the map. Rec sports folks from Virginia Tech yesterday

230
00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:07.500 A:middle L:90%
were talking to me about checking in swiping things in

231
00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:11.620 A:middle L:90%
mobile check ins on stuff for students because they're all

232
00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:15.179 A:middle L:90%
about ipads and whatnot or facilities folks. I mean

233
00:10:15.190 --> 00:10:18.250 A:middle L:90%
, wireless issues like wifi issues are huge, like

234
00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:20.870 A:middle L:90%
residents halls and wifi and then you you get into

235
00:10:20.870 --> 00:10:24.450 A:middle L:90%
students downloading stuff and student conduct issues and cyber bullying

236
00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:28.059 A:middle L:90%
. There's all kinds of interesting sort of psychosocial and

237
00:10:28.070 --> 00:10:31.029 A:middle L:90%
hardware and stuff that is this massive umbrella of technology

238
00:10:31.029 --> 00:10:33.059 A:middle L:90%
and I think that that's one of the issues that

239
00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:37.409 A:middle L:90%
we've struggled with as a profession because we We can't

240
00:10:37.409 --> 00:10:39.919 A:middle L:90%
sort of grapple with all of it all at once

241
00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:41.740 A:middle L:90%
. And so it's much easier to think. Technology

242
00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:43.799 A:middle L:90%
and student affairs is Twitter because it's 140 characters in

243
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.000 A:middle L:90%
his short and sweet. And by the way,

244
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.220 A:middle L:90%
are you public yet on Twitter? Okay. This

245
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:52.399 A:middle L:90%
guy's got a private account on twitter, we're going

246
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.860 A:middle L:90%
to get in public today just saying, yeah,

247
00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:00.990 A:middle L:90%
because otherwise I'm gonna get grumpy and we don't want

248
00:11:00.990 --> 00:11:03.549 A:middle L:90%
that. All right, because if I get grumpy

249
00:11:03.549 --> 00:11:05.080 A:middle L:90%
, you're gonna be grumpy and I'm already kind of

250
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.200 A:middle L:90%
growly because I've only had like four cups of coffee

251
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.200 A:middle L:90%
. I need more, it's over there when I

252
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.330 A:middle L:90%
need a sip. So I want to start with

253
00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:16.570 A:middle L:90%
this question here. And I posed this question at

254
00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:20.080 A:middle L:90%
Nasa's annual conference this year and I said, are

255
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.799 A:middle L:90%
there any student affairs graduate programs that have positioned themselves

256
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.240 A:middle L:90%
as being leaders in student affairs technology? Yeah,

257
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:35.149 A:middle L:90%
anybody you know of any. Yeah. We got

258
00:11:35.149 --> 00:11:37.159 A:middle L:90%
a lot of student affairs graduate programs, higher ed

259
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.179 A:middle L:90%
prep programs, anybody know of any programs. It

260
00:11:41.179 --> 00:11:43.659 A:middle L:90%
is the lowest of all hanging fruit in our field

261
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:46.610 A:middle L:90%
for a graduate program in student affairs to say we're

262
00:11:46.610 --> 00:11:48.940 A:middle L:90%
going to be the ones that take the lead in

263
00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:54.649 A:middle L:90%
technology when it comes to developing a curriculum that prepares

264
00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:58.419 A:middle L:90%
our student affairs practitioners for the future as opposed to

265
00:11:58.419 --> 00:12:01.279 A:middle L:90%
preparing folks for the jobs of yesterday. Because a

266
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.299 A:middle L:90%
lot of our prep programs are still doing the same

267
00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:05.190 A:middle L:90%
thing. And guess what? Student development theory hasn't

268
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:07.809 A:middle L:90%
changed a lot. And that's okay because we can

269
00:12:07.809 --> 00:12:09.490 A:middle L:90%
apply it to the new stuff. But at the

270
00:12:09.490 --> 00:12:11.820 A:middle L:90%
end of the day, who's doing the tech,

271
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:13.679 A:middle L:90%
who's doing the tech charge by the way, we're

272
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.740 A:middle L:90%
at Virginia tech. So it could be convenient for

273
00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:18.289 A:middle L:90%
Virginia tech to do it because I think what has

274
00:12:18.289 --> 00:12:22.029 A:middle L:90%
happened is, and when I talk with graduate students

275
00:12:22.029 --> 00:12:24.250 A:middle L:90%
, especially around the country, is there is this

276
00:12:24.250 --> 00:12:26.789 A:middle L:90%
focus on this extremely narrow demographic of students. A

277
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.440 A:middle L:90%
lot of people in student affairs want to work with

278
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.799 A:middle L:90%
that 18-24 year old on campus demographic. You go

279
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.029 A:middle L:90%
to grad school, who do you want to work

280
00:12:35.029 --> 00:12:35.769 A:middle L:90%
with? You want to work with the people who

281
00:12:35.769 --> 00:12:39.279 A:middle L:90%
are kind of related to that experience that you had

282
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:39.870 A:middle L:90%
. A lot of student affairs folks want to work

283
00:12:39.870 --> 00:12:43.210 A:middle L:90%
with the people who remind them of themselves and on

284
00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:48.389 A:middle L:90%
campus student who lives in the residence hall that traditionally

285
00:12:48.389 --> 00:12:50.889 A:middle L:90%
aged student. And that just narrows the demographic of

286
00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:54.740 A:middle L:90%
the people that we could possibly work with as professionals

287
00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:58.649 A:middle L:90%
as practitioners. And so I started writing about this

288
00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:01.149 A:middle L:90%
on my blog Inside Higher Ed because I like to

289
00:13:01.149 --> 00:13:03.649 A:middle L:90%
shake it up and I like to ask the tough

290
00:13:03.649 --> 00:13:05.320 A:middle L:90%
questions because if we don't ask tough questions, we're

291
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.990 A:middle L:90%
not going to have a profession down the road.

292
00:13:07.990 --> 00:13:09.659 A:middle L:90%
Eventually. It's just, that's the way it's going

293
00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:11.990 A:middle L:90%
to be when you see people from other areas getting

294
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.759 A:middle L:90%
the jobs that we traditionally hold, that worries me

295
00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:16.720 A:middle L:90%
. So I asked this question, I said,

296
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.830 A:middle L:90%
can we bridge the schism? Because every blog post

297
00:13:18.830 --> 00:13:22.309 A:middle L:90%
should include the words schism. I had to look

298
00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:24.529 A:middle L:90%
it up, how to spell it. I knew

299
00:13:24.529 --> 00:13:24.440 A:middle L:90%
it in my head. I'm like, I'm not

300
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.100 A:middle L:90%
even sure how to spell that, but online learners

301
00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:33.370 A:middle L:90%
and student affairs who is doing amazing work in student

302
00:13:33.370 --> 00:13:39.759 A:middle L:90%
affairs, supporting online learners nationally. Hello University of

303
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:46.659 A:middle L:90%
phoenix Capella Kaplan. Yeah, never heard of him

304
00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:50.360 A:middle L:90%
. They're the quote evil for profits. They are

305
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.779 A:middle L:90%
kicking our butts folks. If you're in the nonprofit

306
00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:54.710 A:middle L:90%
sector and you want to do student affairs stuff with

307
00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:56.210 A:middle L:90%
online learners, you look to the for profit sector

308
00:13:56.210 --> 00:14:00.250 A:middle L:90%
because they have realized that it's not just about getting

309
00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:03.629 A:middle L:90%
people in the door, it's about retaining them and

310
00:14:03.629 --> 00:14:05.509 A:middle L:90%
they kind of did it because the federal government said

311
00:14:05.509 --> 00:14:07.320 A:middle L:90%
we're going to come at you if you just keep

312
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.860 A:middle L:90%
getting him out in the door and then not graduating

313
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.840 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah, non profits have got to realize that

314
00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:16.450 A:middle L:90%
online students are here. It's huge. And student

315
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:20.750 A:middle L:90%
affairs when you're thinking about developing things today and sort

316
00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:22.629 A:middle L:90%
of being creative when it comes to technology and supporting

317
00:14:22.629 --> 00:14:24.070 A:middle L:90%
students, we've got to figure out what it means

318
00:14:24.070 --> 00:14:28.700 A:middle L:90%
to support all students, not just a very select

319
00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:31.990 A:middle L:90%
few because how many of you in this room have

320
00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:33.950 A:middle L:90%
an institution, you work at an institution that has

321
00:14:33.950 --> 00:14:39.240 A:middle L:90%
a lot of online learners, a few of you

322
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.220 A:middle L:90%
, some of you like, I don't want to

323
00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:43.529 A:middle L:90%
admit it because then you'll call me and then there's

324
00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:48.090 A:middle L:90%
this and this is something I put on twitter a

325
00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:50.899 A:middle L:90%
little while ago, so we're acting like thousands of

326
00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:52.870 A:middle L:90%
online only students aren't already here as if it's the

327
00:14:52.870 --> 00:14:56.009 A:middle L:90%
future, right? Like the whole mood conversation is

328
00:14:56.009 --> 00:15:00.360 A:middle L:90%
just going to happen eventually. But that disruption piece

329
00:15:00.370 --> 00:15:03.639 A:middle L:90%
is happening right now. There are thousands upon thousands

330
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.519 A:middle L:90%
of online students and they need advising, they need

331
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.299 A:middle L:90%
career services, they need leadership, they need engagement

332
00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:11.669 A:middle L:90%
, they need all the things that we bring to

333
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.090 A:middle L:90%
on campus, but we got to figure out what

334
00:15:15.090 --> 00:15:16.389 A:middle L:90%
to translate it to that off campus environment, that

335
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.649 A:middle L:90%
online environment. And I can't wait until someone writes

336
00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:24.809 A:middle L:90%
this grad students, you need something to write,

337
00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:26.620 A:middle L:90%
you need something to think about the online student learning

338
00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:31.309 A:middle L:90%
imperative, right? Hashtag things that have not been

339
00:15:31.309 --> 00:15:35.100 A:middle L:90%
written yet. As in please write it because we

340
00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:37.100 A:middle L:90%
don't have that yet. We don't have those definitive

341
00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:39.649 A:middle L:90%
documents about what it means to do our work,

342
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:41.909 A:middle L:90%
the work that we've been trained in sort of in

343
00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:46.549 A:middle L:90%
the traditional paradigm, but in that online space.

344
00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:50.490 A:middle L:90%
Yeah, because this is what happens. I think

345
00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:54.409 A:middle L:90%
what's going to happen student affairs profession when a large

346
00:15:54.409 --> 00:15:56.090 A:middle L:90%
number of students are online only S. A grads

347
00:15:56.090 --> 00:16:00.049 A:middle L:90%
. Are you ready? I talked to 50 s

348
00:16:00.049 --> 00:16:00.649 A:middle L:90%
. A grads at a campus the other day,

349
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.669 A:middle L:90%
I said, quick show of hands, how many

350
00:16:03.669 --> 00:16:04.960 A:middle L:90%
of you want to work with online only learners?

351
00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:10.110 A:middle L:90%
Nobody raised their hands. And then I said,

352
00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:11.360 A:middle L:90%
how many of you want jobs? And they all

353
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.659 A:middle L:90%
raised their hands? And I thought, I love

354
00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:22.830 A:middle L:90%
irony because it's not about classroom only now this is

355
00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:23.690 A:middle L:90%
blackboard mobile, the way it used to look,

356
00:16:23.690 --> 00:16:26.149 A:middle L:90%
they're coming out with a new design, but it's

357
00:16:26.149 --> 00:16:30.350 A:middle L:90%
about how do we insert soon affairs into this paradigm

358
00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:33.960 A:middle L:90%
when people are accessing learning and curriculum and courses and

359
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.809 A:middle L:90%
discussion groups with their ipad and they're never setting foot

360
00:16:37.809 --> 00:16:42.820 A:middle L:90%
on campus. And then I was thinking to myself

361
00:16:42.889 --> 00:16:45.299 A:middle L:90%
, how many of you? So the grad students

362
00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:45.309 A:middle L:90%
in the room? How many of you have a

363
00:16:45.309 --> 00:16:48.929 A:middle L:90%
formal technology class as part of your curriculum? It's

364
00:16:48.929 --> 00:16:52.240 A:middle L:90%
not just an optional thing. Sometimes the technology classes

365
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.419 A:middle L:90%
optional, which I think is kind of interesting in

366
00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:59.009 A:middle L:90%
itself, anybody. One guy. Yeah. Where

367
00:16:59.009 --> 00:17:00.639 A:middle L:90%
do you go to school? No way. Yeah

368
00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:06.009 A:middle L:90%
. Very. Okay. Great. Yeah. More

369
00:17:06.009 --> 00:17:08.069 A:middle L:90%
like Edtech type stuff. Yeah. Text got some

370
00:17:08.069 --> 00:17:11.650 A:middle L:90%
good stuff around that. I was thinking to myself

371
00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:14.279 A:middle L:90%
, wouldn't it be cool? And student affairs if

372
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.890 A:middle L:90%
we had a mook for student affairs, technology created

373
00:17:18.890 --> 00:17:22.009 A:middle L:90%
by the best thinkers in this space, all across

374
00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:26.269 A:middle L:90%
our profession that everybody who's a graduate student student affairs

375
00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:30.450 A:middle L:90%
could access so that we have sort of a baseline

376
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.750 A:middle L:90%
for technology and student affairs. Yeah. Thought,

377
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.269 A:middle L:90%
you know, it's kind of a simple idea.

378
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:37.519 A:middle L:90%
It wouldn't be that hard to execute. Does everyone

379
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.589 A:middle L:90%
know what a book is? Yeah, mook is

380
00:17:41.589 --> 00:17:45.150 A:middle L:90%
a massive, massively open online course. And here's

381
00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:48.059 A:middle L:90%
the thing, if you work in higher education and

382
00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:48.960 A:middle L:90%
I'm not picking on you over there, but if

383
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.670 A:middle L:90%
you work in higher education and you don't know what

384
00:17:51.670 --> 00:17:52.750 A:middle L:90%
a book is, that says a lot about what

385
00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:56.109 A:middle L:90%
it means for our commitment for learning about what's going

386
00:17:56.109 --> 00:17:56.980 A:middle L:90%
on this space. Because inside Higher Ed, if

387
00:17:56.980 --> 00:18:00.480 A:middle L:90%
it was a drinking game, you'd be drunk because

388
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.299 A:middle L:90%
they mentioned moocs all the time and it's not just

389
00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:07.450 A:middle L:90%
me. People write about moocs constantly. The Chronicle

390
00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:08.309 A:middle L:90%
Inside Higher Ed, Even the new york times is

391
00:18:08.309 --> 00:18:11.819 A:middle L:90%
writing about it. And there's massive ones out there

392
00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:12.410 A:middle L:90%
. Like Ed X, the folks at M I

393
00:18:12.410 --> 00:18:15.789 A:middle L:90%
T came out with you got Coursera and Udacity and

394
00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:18.269 A:middle L:90%
all these things that are not necessarily on our radar

395
00:18:18.269 --> 00:18:21.200 A:middle L:90%
because for the, on the sort of that mindset

396
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.500 A:middle L:90%
of on campus and brick and mortar, it's not

397
00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:26.009 A:middle L:90%
necessarily our jam, but we got to start thinking

398
00:18:26.009 --> 00:18:27.640 A:middle L:90%
about it because when I said, maybe we should

399
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.509 A:middle L:90%
create a book for student affairs technology, a guy

400
00:18:30.509 --> 00:18:32.920 A:middle L:90%
actually asked me what it was. And so I

401
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:33.750 A:middle L:90%
sent him the link to let me google that for

402
00:18:33.750 --> 00:18:41.299 A:middle L:90%
you because I was like, are you freaking kidding

403
00:18:41.299 --> 00:18:47.670 A:middle L:90%
me? You can google it M 00 C.

404
00:18:48.710 --> 00:18:51.480 A:middle L:90%
And I was like, what do I have to

405
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.930 A:middle L:90%
do? And then john, who I have a

406
00:18:56.930 --> 00:18:57.319 A:middle L:90%
lot of respect for, I think you actually just

407
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.700 A:middle L:90%
got a fully tenured position. Um and some sort

408
00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:03.170 A:middle L:90%
of, you know, those titles like the so

409
00:19:03.170 --> 00:19:04.730 A:middle L:90%
and so, so and so endowed, fully professorship

410
00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:07.920 A:middle L:90%
stuff, Like he's a big deal. He says

411
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.509 A:middle L:90%
, sounds like a good idea. Maybe it's the

412
00:19:11.509 --> 00:19:15.170 A:middle L:90%
answer to that constant call for topics without taking things

413
00:19:15.170 --> 00:19:18.529 A:middle L:90%
out, right? Like we can't mess up the

414
00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:22.589 A:middle L:90%
basket of our pre existing stuff, right? Like

415
00:19:22.589 --> 00:19:25.460 A:middle L:90%
the there's this sort of like stuff that we can't

416
00:19:25.470 --> 00:19:29.269 A:middle L:90%
change its in granite carved in there by our forefathers

417
00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:33.109 A:middle L:90%
. Like we gotta mix it up and disrupt student

418
00:19:33.109 --> 00:19:36.359 A:middle L:90%
affairs because if we don't, again, that narrow

419
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.900 A:middle L:90%
paradigm is going to be a space where very few

420
00:19:37.900 --> 00:19:41.250 A:middle L:90%
of us can exist. And there's a lot of

421
00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:44.789 A:middle L:90%
folks graduating anybody go to TPP Yeah, or c

422
00:19:44.789 --> 00:19:45.049 A:middle L:90%
. three or the new thing that they call it

423
00:19:45.049 --> 00:19:47.589 A:middle L:90%
now, like there's a lot of people going for

424
00:19:47.589 --> 00:19:52.299 A:middle L:90%
those jobs. And then there's this piece, I

425
00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:55.089 A:middle L:90%
was asked the question yesterday, do you think technology

426
00:19:55.089 --> 00:19:56.650 A:middle L:90%
needs to be a competency? Now, I'm a

427
00:19:56.650 --> 00:20:02.109 A:middle L:90%
little biased, just a smidge, right, Because

428
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:03.789 A:middle L:90%
anybody read the professional competency document from a C P

429
00:20:03.789 --> 00:20:06.910 A:middle L:90%
A in aspe, The joint document that sort of

430
00:20:06.910 --> 00:20:07.700 A:middle L:90%
says these are the things that we all need to

431
00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:11.640 A:middle L:90%
have in our wheelhouse. And there's a couple bullet

432
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:12.400 A:middle L:90%
points because I got the pdf file and the first

433
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.269 A:middle L:90%
thing I did with the pdf as I started searching

434
00:20:15.269 --> 00:20:17.549 A:middle L:90%
for the, like, any references to technology,

435
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.680 A:middle L:90%
I think there's three and one of them is just

436
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.759 A:middle L:90%
a bullet point, says technology will be woven as

437
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.440 A:middle L:90%
a thread throughout. I thought to myself, that's

438
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.269 A:middle L:90%
great. But I don't know where it's coming from

439
00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:32.829 A:middle L:90%
, like that threat of technology, where is it

440
00:20:32.829 --> 00:20:33.640 A:middle L:90%
coming from? Like it's not built in, like

441
00:20:33.650 --> 00:20:36.180 A:middle L:90%
we're not all coming in the door with a chip

442
00:20:36.190 --> 00:20:37.700 A:middle L:90%
right in our arm going, I got it,

443
00:20:37.710 --> 00:20:40.450 A:middle L:90%
I got the thread right here. It's not built

444
00:20:40.450 --> 00:20:42.109 A:middle L:90%
in, so it's gotta come from somewhere. And

445
00:20:42.109 --> 00:20:45.470 A:middle L:90%
I started calling it the fallacy of the thread.

446
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.029 A:middle L:90%
And I got a lot of flak, I got

447
00:20:48.029 --> 00:20:51.309 A:middle L:90%
a lot of flak for my thread posts because people

448
00:20:51.309 --> 00:20:52.420 A:middle L:90%
are like, no, it's going to happen.

449
00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.630 A:middle L:90%
And I thought to myself, it's not gonna happen

450
00:20:53.789 --> 00:20:57.569 A:middle L:90%
simply because we want it to happen. We have

451
00:20:57.569 --> 00:21:00.440 A:middle L:90%
to be reading about moocs, we have to be

452
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.630 A:middle L:90%
figuring out what it means to support online. Only

453
00:21:02.630 --> 00:21:04.210 A:middle L:90%
students reading the various texts that are out there.

454
00:21:04.210 --> 00:21:07.230 A:middle L:90%
I need a Crowley has a great text on supporting

455
00:21:07.230 --> 00:21:10.519 A:middle L:90%
online learners and it has a whole section on student

456
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.349 A:middle L:90%
affair stuff, but a lot of people haven't even

457
00:21:14.349 --> 00:21:17.509 A:middle L:90%
seen that. And then this is one of my

458
00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:18.670 A:middle L:90%
favorite things to, I was talking about this yesterday

459
00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:23.279 A:middle L:90%
Digital identity Development. One of the topics I think

460
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:29.359 A:middle L:90%
on the twitter poll was civility and social media and

461
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.650 A:middle L:90%
you know, students engaging in cyber bullying or students

462
00:21:32.650 --> 00:21:36.529 A:middle L:90%
saying kind of ridiculous things that maybe they shouldn't or

463
00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:38.410 A:middle L:90%
johnny Manziel, they probably should just not let him

464
00:21:38.410 --> 00:21:42.730 A:middle L:90%
have access to the internet because he's having some struggles

465
00:21:42.730 --> 00:21:45.049 A:middle L:90%
with what it means to be a celebrity at his

466
00:21:45.049 --> 00:21:48.589 A:middle L:90%
young age. But digital identity development is an area

467
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.730 A:middle L:90%
that student affairs, that's, that should be our

468
00:21:51.730 --> 00:21:53.460 A:middle L:90%
wheelhouse, that is the territory that is sitting there

469
00:21:53.470 --> 00:21:56.269 A:middle L:90%
wide open for us. Because guess what we do

470
00:21:56.269 --> 00:21:59.000 A:middle L:90%
student development, we talk about engagement, we talk

471
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.269 A:middle L:90%
about developing lifelong learners, we talk about, hey

472
00:22:00.269 --> 00:22:04.000 A:middle L:90%
, welcome to our community, community guidelines, developing

473
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.549 A:middle L:90%
students as whole people. Well, guess what?

474
00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:10.240 A:middle L:90%
People who live in their lives online and they're putting

475
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:11.670 A:middle L:90%
all kinds of stuff out there and they're not even

476
00:22:11.670 --> 00:22:12.440 A:middle L:90%
connecting the dots to sort of how they are in

477
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:17.380 A:middle L:90%
person should mimic and mirror how they are. Online

478
00:22:17.390 --> 00:22:19.480 A:middle L:90%
students take all kinds of crazy stuff on social media

479
00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:22.079 A:middle L:90%
and then you talk to them face to face and

480
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:22.390 A:middle L:90%
that's not the same person. There's a sort of

481
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.079 A:middle L:90%
in congruence with how they are uh, in person

482
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.769 A:middle L:90%
versus online. So that digital identity developed component think

483
00:22:29.769 --> 00:22:33.109 A:middle L:90%
about this grad students and or anyone who is interested

484
00:22:33.109 --> 00:22:34.930 A:middle L:90%
in writing. We don't have anything that talks about

485
00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:38.509 A:middle L:90%
digital identity development in conjunction with student of student development

486
00:22:38.509 --> 00:22:42.359 A:middle L:90%
theory and what we do. It's just there waiting

487
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:44.670 A:middle L:90%
for you to write about it. You need a

488
00:22:44.670 --> 00:22:52.059 A:middle L:90%
project totally there. Then there's this piece too about

489
00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:56.829 A:middle L:90%
digital natives versus digital immigrants. This guy Mark Krinsky

490
00:22:56.829 --> 00:22:59.759 A:middle L:90%
wrote this piece, he talks about digital natives and

491
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:00.660 A:middle L:90%
digital immigrants and it was sort of the, you

492
00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:03.059 A:middle L:90%
know, if you grow up with these devices,

493
00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:04.160 A:middle L:90%
you grew up with these technologies, it's gonna be

494
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.059 A:middle L:90%
a little bit easier for you to figure them out

495
00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:08.869 A:middle L:90%
almost automatically versus you know, if you're a digital

496
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.059 A:middle L:90%
immigrant, you're coming into it late in the game

497
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.009 A:middle L:90%
. But what happened is, I think it's happening

498
00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:18.670 A:middle L:90%
with our profession and it's a bit generational, but

499
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.799 A:middle L:90%
people sort of said, well, students got this

500
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.299 A:middle L:90%
stuff, I don't know if you've noticed, but

501
00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:27.119 A:middle L:90%
students, especially traditionally aged students, they don't got

502
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:33.200 A:middle L:90%
it in terms of technology fluency and competency and skill

503
00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:37.279 A:middle L:90%
is good sort of fluency with technologies around entertainment And

504
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.279 A:middle L:90%
fun and texting one another. But when it comes

505
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.779 A:middle L:90%
to using even google searches or linked in for career

506
00:23:44.779 --> 00:23:49.680 A:middle L:90%
stuff or using maybe Microsoft word tracked changes the stuff

507
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.430 A:middle L:90%
that professionals we just sort of get after a while

508
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.099 A:middle L:90%
. So I think we're moving towards this piece now

509
00:23:56.099 --> 00:24:02.599 A:middle L:90%
more of sort of digital wisdom and student affairs who's

510
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.009 A:middle L:90%
gonna teach students not only digital identity, but in

511
00:24:04.009 --> 00:24:07.279 A:middle L:90%
first year experience courses and orientation. Just kind of

512
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.190 A:middle L:90%
getting a feel for what students are at in terms

513
00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:11.640 A:middle L:90%
of their technology needs and their skills because that digital

514
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.950 A:middle L:90%
divide that we don't talk about nearly enough anymore is

515
00:24:15.950 --> 00:24:19.009 A:middle L:90%
still there. I was home to my parents house

516
00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:21.700 A:middle L:90%
in Iowa a couple years ago and I need to

517
00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:25.509 A:middle L:90%
get online to put it in an article for Inside

518
00:24:25.509 --> 00:24:26.980 A:middle L:90%
Higher Ed. And I was trying to tether my

519
00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:30.279 A:middle L:90%
phone because I knew that my parents had just dial

520
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.279 A:middle L:90%
up 14 4 modem dial up access. There's just

521
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.269 A:middle L:90%
a few years ago and I couldn't get service with

522
00:24:36.269 --> 00:24:37.490 A:middle L:90%
my phone. It would not tether because there wasn't

523
00:24:37.490 --> 00:24:40.990 A:middle L:90%
a tower that I could get access to. And

524
00:24:40.990 --> 00:24:41.880 A:middle L:90%
I'm telling my daddy, what are you trying to

525
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.759 A:middle L:90%
do? I said well I need to get online

526
00:24:44.769 --> 00:24:47.269 A:middle L:90%
because I need to post this because I'm on deadline

527
00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:51.779 A:middle L:90%
. My dad says quote it's cool eric we have

528
00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:56.319 A:middle L:90%
the broad band. And I said, oh really

529
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.619 A:middle L:90%
dad, you have the broadband, tell me more

530
00:25:00.619 --> 00:25:02.180 A:middle L:90%
. And he says just go outside of the house

531
00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:03.910 A:middle L:90%
, just go outside and look look on this corner

532
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.680 A:middle L:90%
and I look outside of the corner of the house

533
00:25:06.690 --> 00:25:07.670 A:middle L:90%
near where my bedroom used to be. And there's

534
00:25:07.670 --> 00:25:11.589 A:middle L:90%
this gigantic white box fixed to the corner of the

535
00:25:11.589 --> 00:25:11.970 A:middle L:90%
house. And I said Dad and what's that?

536
00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:15.549 A:middle L:90%
He said it's a satellite receiver, it connects to

537
00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:18.500 A:middle L:90%
the internet. And I said really you can go

538
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:18.890 A:middle L:90%
check it out. And so I go on their

539
00:25:18.890 --> 00:25:21.940 A:middle L:90%
computer and the computer is really old. But the

540
00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:23.859 A:middle L:90%
internet was lightning fast. So my parents had the

541
00:25:23.859 --> 00:25:29.769 A:middle L:90%
broadband and it was just phenomenal to me that all

542
00:25:29.769 --> 00:25:32.319 A:middle L:90%
of a sudden, you know that technology is sort

543
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.500 A:middle L:90%
of available to them. But still the digital divide

544
00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:38.460 A:middle L:90%
in rural Iowa is extremely legitimate and it's extremely legitimate

545
00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:41.619 A:middle L:90%
from a socio economic standpoint. It is a big

546
00:25:41.619 --> 00:25:45.059 A:middle L:90%
deal. We got to talk about it. You

547
00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:48.059 A:middle L:90%
got a question over there. Yeah. Little bit

548
00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:52.519 A:middle L:90%
on top. I don't really like rules. So

549
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:53.109 A:middle L:90%
go for it. I quit my job to go

550
00:25:53.109 --> 00:26:00.460 A:middle L:90%
do this. Yeah. You sure? I'm hoping

551
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:07.640 A:middle L:90%
one of the session social justice. Whatever the topic

552
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.960 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Sometimes. Right. That's exclusive.

553
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.160 A:middle L:90%
Right here in digital media versus digital images sometimes.

554
00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:26.819 A:middle L:90%
Mhm. Not because they seven don't know. Can't

555
00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:30.819 A:middle L:90%
catch up signal. In fact, you're setting stop

556
00:26:30.829 --> 00:26:34.619 A:middle L:90%
the meeting. They grew up, Captain philosophies that

557
00:26:34.630 --> 00:26:38.920 A:middle L:90%
were all lifetime learning. So always drunk. All

558
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.059 A:middle L:90%
right. Last night with the director. She's 16

559
00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:47.119 A:middle L:90%
. Must be here if I see it. I'm

560
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.559 A:middle L:90%
growing all right. Where? Yeah. Kids somewhere

561
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:59.809 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Blackberry four. I think sometimes people

562
00:26:59.809 --> 00:27:04.690 A:middle L:90%
away okay. Can lot of technology if it doesn't

563
00:27:04.690 --> 00:27:10.559 A:middle L:90%
serve anybody purpose fine. And it's okay. That

564
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.250 A:middle L:90%
yeah. The great fact, I just when I

565
00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:17.480 A:middle L:90%
saw that I think of something right? People in

566
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:22.690 A:middle L:90%
front. Mhm. Just outlined. Okay, person

567
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:29.480 A:middle L:90%
that said that. How about that? But we

568
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.710 A:middle L:90%
can do this. Like that's also part became part

569
00:27:32.710 --> 00:27:34.910 A:middle L:90%
of you have our economies. That topic. There's

570
00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:38.730 A:middle L:90%
a lot of Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Do

571
00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:47.690 A:middle L:90%
you like Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

572
00:27:47.690 --> 00:27:49.329 A:middle L:90%
a couple of thoughts on that really quick one.

573
00:27:49.329 --> 00:27:52.650 A:middle L:90%
Is that blackberry? I love those commercials because they're

574
00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:56.400 A:middle L:90%
talking about like they invented facetime now because like they

575
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:56.650 A:middle L:90%
just got there. But they're like, we did

576
00:27:56.650 --> 00:27:59.920 A:middle L:90%
it, we made it. The second thing is

577
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:02.289 A:middle L:90%
we love to polarize the conversation, right? That's

578
00:28:02.289 --> 00:28:03.789 A:middle L:90%
why Prince Key. When Mark Pinsky wrote the digital

579
00:28:03.789 --> 00:28:07.690 A:middle L:90%
native digital immigrant piece, people loved it because it

580
00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:08.529 A:middle L:90%
gave them one or the other, right? A

581
00:28:08.529 --> 00:28:11.410 A:middle L:90%
black and white sort of sphere to look at things

582
00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:12.670 A:middle L:90%
as opposed to that nuance of, of wisdom.

583
00:28:12.670 --> 00:28:15.210 A:middle L:90%
And that's where when my, when my grandmother was

584
00:28:15.210 --> 00:28:18.230 A:middle L:90%
alive, my mom's mom, She was Super Techie

585
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.690 A:middle L:90%
. She was getting onto Facebook and sending emails and

586
00:28:21.690 --> 00:28:22.700 A:middle L:90%
doing all kinds of stuff that for her at 80

587
00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:26.670 A:middle L:90%
I think was 84. She was like, whatever

588
00:28:26.670 --> 00:28:27.140 A:middle L:90%
, I'm just gonna do this. But then you

589
00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:29.809 A:middle L:90%
talk to, you know, I was talking to

590
00:28:29.809 --> 00:28:32.170 A:middle L:90%
a guy last night was 18, he's like,

591
00:28:32.170 --> 00:28:33.710 A:middle L:90%
I'm not gonna get on facebook, I don't need

592
00:28:33.710 --> 00:28:36.009 A:middle L:90%
this stuff, you know? And so I think

593
00:28:36.009 --> 00:28:37.680 A:middle L:90%
we have to we have to be careful when we

594
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.559 A:middle L:90%
assume that it's a generational thing, you know,

595
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.710 A:middle L:90%
like all young people are on this and if you're

596
00:28:41.710 --> 00:28:42.099 A:middle L:90%
a little older, you're not gonna be on this

597
00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:45.160 A:middle L:90%
and it's it's not that, but we just we

598
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.579 A:middle L:90%
get sucked into very dualistic thinking, right, any

599
00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:51.549 A:middle L:90%
fans of Perry in here, that's a grad students

600
00:28:51.549 --> 00:28:52.140 A:middle L:90%
, you're not getting credit for this, but I

601
00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:55.960 A:middle L:90%
thought I'd just ask, you know, But the

602
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.140 A:middle L:90%
biggest thing about all this, this whole conversation around

603
00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:03.519 A:middle L:90%
technology and digital identity and supporting online learners comes down

604
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.180 A:middle L:90%
to one very simple thing, some of you want

605
00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:12.480 A:middle L:90%
jobs and those of us that have jobs, things

606
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.700 A:middle L:90%
are going to be shifting. There's this really sort

607
00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:18.250 A:middle L:90%
of depressing kind of mindset amongst a lot of the

608
00:29:18.250 --> 00:29:19.750 A:middle L:90%
folks in higher ed who do a lot of the

609
00:29:19.750 --> 00:29:22.890 A:middle L:90%
high level thinking around sort of disruption in the future

610
00:29:22.890 --> 00:29:25.720 A:middle L:90%
for higher education. They talk about the bubble a

611
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:27.619 A:middle L:90%
lot how the bubble is going to explode and campuses

612
00:29:27.619 --> 00:29:30.420 A:middle L:90%
are going to start closing left and right, especially

613
00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:33.809 A:middle L:90%
like small private liberal institutions, liberal our institutions.

614
00:29:33.809 --> 00:29:36.089 A:middle L:90%
And I think to myself that's a really sad story

615
00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:37.900 A:middle L:90%
. Like I don't want that to happen. I

616
00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:40.079 A:middle L:90%
want more colleges, I want more universities, I

617
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.670 A:middle L:90%
want more learning to take place granted. It's okay

618
00:29:41.670 --> 00:29:44.299 A:middle L:90%
that learning is taking place online, but I really

619
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:47.440 A:middle L:90%
want to close facilities because there's a lot of stuff

620
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.309 A:middle L:90%
that happens, right? Anybody in leadership and activities

621
00:29:49.309 --> 00:29:52.329 A:middle L:90%
here in the room. Yeah. Like how do

622
00:29:52.329 --> 00:29:53.240 A:middle L:90%
you translate a lot of that to the online space

623
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.200 A:middle L:90%
? It's very difficult student organizations and different things that

624
00:29:56.230 --> 00:29:59.849 A:middle L:90%
we know how to do in person. But it's

625
00:29:59.849 --> 00:30:02.250 A:middle L:90%
just a little bit different when you're talking about it

626
00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:07.109 A:middle L:90%
online. So where are we going? They may

627
00:30:07.109 --> 00:30:11.859 A:middle L:90%
watch this first of all like on Youtube on your

628
00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:15.190 A:middle L:90%
computer, you can watch a guy jumped from this

629
00:30:15.190 --> 00:30:19.670 A:middle L:90%
thing and free fall for like an hour. Mhm

630
00:30:21.650 --> 00:30:23.130 A:middle L:90%
. Clearly he was all hopped up on Red Bull

631
00:30:23.130 --> 00:30:26.420 A:middle L:90%
. That's the only reason anybody would ever do that

632
00:30:26.430 --> 00:30:27.150 A:middle L:90%
. But I thought to myself, that's really cool

633
00:30:27.150 --> 00:30:29.509 A:middle L:90%
technology. I mean we kind of take it for

634
00:30:29.509 --> 00:30:32.099 A:middle L:90%
granted anymore that we can watch something live on Youtube

635
00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:33.769 A:middle L:90%
or anything of a guy jumping out of space.

636
00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:37.609 A:middle L:90%
Like it's kind of futuristic. And yet when I

637
00:30:37.609 --> 00:30:40.259 A:middle L:90%
think about where we're going, when it comes to

638
00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:44.809 A:middle L:90%
technology automatically, think about one thing I think about

639
00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:48.579 A:middle L:90%
mobile, think about mobile devices and mobile access and

640
00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:51.859 A:middle L:90%
sort of the ubiquity of so many of us,

641
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.690 A:middle L:90%
even my dad carrying small computers in our pockets that

642
00:30:56.690 --> 00:30:59.059 A:middle L:90%
enable us to do a lot of really cool things

643
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:00.519 A:middle L:90%
. I mean, even the Samsung here, this

644
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.660 A:middle L:90%
is the advertisers, the Life Companion, this was

645
00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:07.130 A:middle L:90%
on their media materials, anybody have one of these

646
00:31:07.130 --> 00:31:11.359 A:middle L:90%
things, It's like G4 or whatever, you know

647
00:31:11.369 --> 00:31:12.789 A:middle L:90%
, they're like sushi platters, it's so big,

648
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:18.279 A:middle L:90%
like what's up? There's so, I mean like

649
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:19.769 A:middle L:90%
the notes you have to have a stylist for it

650
00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:22.880 A:middle L:90%
, it's like we're going backwards, you know,

651
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:23.789 A:middle L:90%
it used to be spongy, like super tiny,

652
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.240 A:middle L:90%
right? You're one of the smallest phone you could

653
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.119 A:middle L:90%
get and you couldn't really press the buttons, you

654
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:30.849 A:middle L:90%
press three or four at a time with your thumb

655
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.539 A:middle L:90%
, would you like it's super small, so it's

656
00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:34.210 A:middle L:90%
cool and now we're like big, we're just gonna

657
00:31:34.210 --> 00:31:38.859 A:middle L:90%
go big again. But I love stuff like square

658
00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:42.250 A:middle L:90%
where anybody can get the little square module, pop

659
00:31:42.250 --> 00:31:45.000 A:middle L:90%
it into an I. Device and swipe credit cards

660
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.170 A:middle L:90%
and take transactions. This is my coffee shop now

661
00:31:48.170 --> 00:31:51.069 A:middle L:90%
that I go to. I love signing my signature

662
00:31:51.069 --> 00:31:52.630 A:middle L:90%
with my finger. It's far better than I do

663
00:31:52.630 --> 00:31:56.220 A:middle L:90%
with a pen. I can't, I can't write

664
00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:59.630 A:middle L:90%
that nice with a pen, but it's like this

665
00:31:59.630 --> 00:32:00.789 A:middle L:90%
ubiquity of services now when it comes to mobile and

666
00:32:00.789 --> 00:32:04.000 A:middle L:90%
what we can do with mobile, this is from

667
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.589 A:middle L:90%
my refrigerator's troubleshooting guide how to connect to wifi.

668
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:10.500 A:middle L:90%
Yeah, it can connect to wifi. I don't

669
00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:13.670 A:middle L:90%
know really what I do with that part of it

670
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:15.500 A:middle L:90%
, but you've got Q. R. Codes there

671
00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:17.390 A:middle L:90%
that can help you figure out what's wrong. You

672
00:32:17.390 --> 00:32:19.980 A:middle L:90%
scan it with your phone, takes you to a

673
00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:22.210 A:middle L:90%
video. I thought to myself, this is pretty

674
00:32:22.210 --> 00:32:24.430 A:middle L:90%
cool that there's sort of this internet of things going

675
00:32:24.430 --> 00:32:30.700 A:middle L:90%
on that connects to mobile or even I like broke

676
00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:31.390 A:middle L:90%
, you know the library at brock. I love

677
00:32:31.390 --> 00:32:34.490 A:middle L:90%
the folks up in candidates are doing some cool stuff

678
00:32:34.490 --> 00:32:36.450 A:middle L:90%
up there and broke but just, you know having

679
00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:38.059 A:middle L:90%
chargers and I know that you get the chargers here

680
00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:40.250 A:middle L:90%
, right. A little device out there you go

681
00:32:40.250 --> 00:32:43.980 A:middle L:90%
and plug in like just stuff like that. You

682
00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:45.500 A:middle L:90%
know, a few years ago we never would have

683
00:32:45.509 --> 00:32:47.750 A:middle L:90%
had, it's all about mobile on the go.

684
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:53.609 A:middle L:90%
Our students aren't necessarily bringing desktops in laptops. Okay

685
00:32:53.950 --> 00:32:57.549 A:middle L:90%
. It's about tablets and bring your own device.

686
00:32:58.140 --> 00:32:59.559 A:middle L:90%
But some of you, I guarantee you have a

687
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.589 A:middle L:90%
desktop computer at your desk that has dust bunnies in

688
00:33:02.589 --> 00:33:07.269 A:middle L:90%
it, the size of actual bunnies like a Dell

689
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.670 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Underneath you've been there. Haven't checked

690
00:33:10.670 --> 00:33:13.170 A:middle L:90%
it out for a while. It's a little dusty

691
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.099 A:middle L:90%
. I want to clean that out just saying it's

692
00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:17.440 A:middle L:90%
kind of a fire hazard. Or even like any

693
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:20.990 A:middle L:90%
apple fans in here. Uh huh. A few

694
00:33:20.990 --> 00:33:23.700 A:middle L:90%
of us. It's cool represent he's holding it up

695
00:33:23.710 --> 00:33:27.210 A:middle L:90%
well done. But even just like the cool stuff

696
00:33:27.210 --> 00:33:30.150 A:middle L:90%
that they're doing with interface design and apps and the

697
00:33:30.150 --> 00:33:31.269 A:middle L:90%
apps that you use, you think about which apps

698
00:33:31.269 --> 00:33:34.579 A:middle L:90%
are the neat ones, which ones you like and

699
00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:37.009 A:middle L:90%
you think how do we sort of translate this the

700
00:33:37.009 --> 00:33:37.890 A:middle L:90%
world that we live in? Like how many student

701
00:33:37.890 --> 00:33:45.450 A:middle L:90%
affairs apps are there? What we're working on it

702
00:33:45.460 --> 00:33:47.950 A:middle L:90%
? Yeah. There's not a lot of stuff that's

703
00:33:47.950 --> 00:33:51.160 A:middle L:90%
specific to us if I go too edgy cause anybody

704
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.279 A:middle L:90%
go to educ cause it's the massive higher education technology

705
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.500 A:middle L:90%
conference. Everybody is there for the most part except

706
00:33:58.500 --> 00:34:00.670 A:middle L:90%
us. It's the C. I. O.

707
00:34:00.670 --> 00:34:05.759 A:middle L:90%
S the CDOS provos and they're talking about what students

708
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:07.670 A:middle L:90%
want. They're always saying this is what students want

709
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.329 A:middle L:90%
. Like there are no students here and actually the

710
00:34:12.329 --> 00:34:15.480 A:middle L:90%
people that talk to students outside the classroom, they're

711
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:16.780 A:middle L:90%
not here either. It's really interesting. We've got

712
00:34:16.780 --> 00:34:20.170 A:middle L:90%
to go to these events. One of the things

713
00:34:20.170 --> 00:34:21.380 A:middle L:90%
to I want to share really quick as this app

714
00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:22.849 A:middle L:90%
. Has anybody seen this? I translate voice.

715
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.820 A:middle L:90%
Do you have international students at your campus? Maybe

716
00:34:30.409 --> 00:34:31.980 A:middle L:90%
it's a trick question. A lot of most of

717
00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:36.960 A:middle L:90%
my questions are traps. Yeah, it's really slick

718
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.860 A:middle L:90%
, you know, because it's a great way to

719
00:34:38.869 --> 00:34:43.380 A:middle L:90%
translate language. You know, it's like this universal

720
00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:45.550 A:middle L:90%
translator you can have in your phone via this app

721
00:34:45.550 --> 00:34:50.800 A:middle L:90%
and it just works. And I think about in

722
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.789 A:middle L:90%
terms of sort of working with folks from various countries

723
00:34:53.789 --> 00:34:58.389 A:middle L:90%
, working with folks whose first language isn't english or

724
00:34:58.389 --> 00:35:00.639 A:middle L:90%
study abroad, students go abroad, they have this

725
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.449 A:middle L:90%
on their phone. There's a lot of really cool

726
00:35:02.449 --> 00:35:05.300 A:middle L:90%
apps out there and we've got to sort of tap

727
00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:07.320 A:middle L:90%
into this stuff because it's not just about entertainment,

728
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.210 A:middle L:90%
it's not just about the fun stuff, it's about

729
00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:12.170 A:middle L:90%
utility. And this is honestly, this is like

730
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:15.070 A:middle L:90%
Star Wars, Star trek type stuff 10 years ago

731
00:35:15.070 --> 00:35:16.090 A:middle L:90%
, you said, can you do this with your

732
00:35:16.090 --> 00:35:17.880 A:middle L:90%
phone? You said no way, it's not possible

733
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:21.849 A:middle L:90%
now. It's so awesome and the voices are great

734
00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:22.280 A:middle L:90%
. I love, I'll just spits back to being

735
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.960 A:middle L:90%
spanish a lot of times. That's what I'm doing

736
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:29.780 A:middle L:90%
usually with it. Yeah. And then there's this

737
00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:30.690 A:middle L:90%
piece. How many of you have redesigned your,

738
00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:36.860 A:middle L:90%
your student affairs website in the past year? Very

739
00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:39.760 A:middle L:90%
few couple. Okay. And was it responsive?

740
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:44.130 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. Okay, I'm getting ahead shake like this

741
00:35:44.130 --> 00:35:46.110 A:middle L:90%
, which probably means no, anybody know what responsive

742
00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:51.360 A:middle L:90%
is got a couple. Okay. Responsive design when

743
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.210 A:middle L:90%
it comes to the web is any time you go

744
00:35:52.210 --> 00:35:54.510 A:middle L:90%
to a web page, it looks good on a

745
00:35:54.510 --> 00:35:59.039 A:middle L:90%
big screen, looks good on a tablet because it

746
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:00.170 A:middle L:90%
kind of Accordions in. It loses some of its

747
00:36:00.170 --> 00:36:02.619 A:middle L:90%
sort of extra design features. And then you look

748
00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:05.829 A:middle L:90%
at it on a phone and it kind of Accordions

749
00:36:05.829 --> 00:36:07.280 A:middle L:90%
and even more things you don't really see, it

750
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:09.300 A:middle L:90%
loses some more features and the menu options get a

751
00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:12.019 A:middle L:90%
little fatter a little bigger, a little bit more

752
00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:15.000 A:middle L:90%
friendly to your finger. And that's responsive design because

753
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.389 A:middle L:90%
we talk about mobile and web and we'll talk about

754
00:36:17.389 --> 00:36:19.800 A:middle L:90%
it as if it's sort of the same thing.

755
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.280 A:middle L:90%
But we should just be talking about web access because

756
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:23.699 A:middle L:90%
eventually we're gonna talk about web access is being on

757
00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:25.610 A:middle L:90%
a desktop or on a computer screen. That's this

758
00:36:25.610 --> 00:36:28.909 A:middle L:90%
big we're gonna talk about is just you're getting online

759
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.250 A:middle L:90%
and it's probably going to be on a mobile device

760
00:36:30.630 --> 00:36:32.920 A:middle L:90%
. And so many of our student affairs websites,

761
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.519 A:middle L:90%
they've been around for a while, right? Like

762
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:37.730 A:middle L:90%
the copyright date on the bottom. It's a good

763
00:36:37.730 --> 00:36:38.989 A:middle L:90%
indicator, like you go to school. This is

764
00:36:38.989 --> 00:36:43.090 A:middle L:90%
copyright 1997. Like, yeah, they've been around

765
00:36:43.090 --> 00:36:45.500 A:middle L:90%
a little while. They're still using tables and their

766
00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:52.159 A:middle L:90%
design and everything. This is just a safer today

767
00:36:53.630 --> 00:36:55.380 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah, I want to throw that in there

768
00:36:55.389 --> 00:36:58.190 A:middle L:90%
. This is uh, this is that black words

769
00:36:58.190 --> 00:37:00.800 A:middle L:90%
mobile headquarters. They have this in the fire in

770
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.750 A:middle L:90%
the stairwell. And it's true if there is an

771
00:37:05.750 --> 00:37:07.059 A:middle L:90%
emergency, make sure you take care of the emergency

772
00:37:07.059 --> 00:37:10.829 A:middle L:90%
first and then you can tweet about it. Yeah

773
00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:15.400 A:middle L:90%
. Now, a lot of times people say,

774
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.829 A:middle L:90%
well, we thought you were gonna talk about social

775
00:37:16.829 --> 00:37:19.769 A:middle L:90%
media. Don't have talked a little bit about social

776
00:37:19.769 --> 00:37:22.530 A:middle L:90%
media because I'm probably known more for social media stuff

777
00:37:22.530 --> 00:37:25.130 A:middle L:90%
and in conjunction with marketing and communications and sort of

778
00:37:25.130 --> 00:37:27.769 A:middle L:90%
the latest and greatest. And so I wanted to

779
00:37:27.780 --> 00:37:29.429 A:middle L:90%
, I wanted to kind of close with some social

780
00:37:29.429 --> 00:37:34.900 A:middle L:90%
media stuff and for some reason there's this fear of

781
00:37:34.900 --> 00:37:37.159 A:middle L:90%
social media, it's literally still a thing. Yeah

782
00:37:37.829 --> 00:37:39.429 A:middle L:90%
, Yesterday I was talking with some folks at lunch

783
00:37:39.429 --> 00:37:42.659 A:middle L:90%
and there's just just fear of posting on twitter and

784
00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:45.320 A:middle L:90%
I thought to myself, that's a unique sort of

785
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:47.659 A:middle L:90%
psychological thing right there. Like this fear of posting

786
00:37:49.929 --> 00:37:52.510 A:middle L:90%
onto a website, thought to myself, you're just

787
00:37:52.510 --> 00:37:54.800 A:middle L:90%
posting content. And so I said, you talk

788
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.739 A:middle L:90%
to people like they trust you to talk to parents

789
00:37:59.929 --> 00:38:00.739 A:middle L:90%
, what are you gonna do? That's so damaging

790
00:38:00.750 --> 00:38:04.340 A:middle L:90%
. But it was just sort of this block that

791
00:38:04.349 --> 00:38:06.789 A:middle L:90%
was sort of this sort of interesting disconnect. And

792
00:38:06.789 --> 00:38:08.570 A:middle L:90%
so I was thinking to myself, would you say

793
00:38:08.570 --> 00:38:10.960 A:middle L:90%
that fear of social media is something that you deal

794
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.449 A:middle L:90%
with at your campus sometimes? Yeah, and it's

795
00:38:15.449 --> 00:38:17.769 A:middle L:90%
like a symptom right? Like it's, it might

796
00:38:17.769 --> 00:38:20.650 A:middle L:90%
be causing some pain, but it's not the source

797
00:38:20.650 --> 00:38:22.769 A:middle L:90%
of it. You gotta figure like that organizational change

798
00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:25.079 A:middle L:90%
piece, that lifelong learning piece the guy is talking

799
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:28.289 A:middle L:90%
about back there in the back, like lifelong learning

800
00:38:28.289 --> 00:38:30.840 A:middle L:90%
doesn't just stop once you get your diploma, once

801
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.099 A:middle L:90%
you finish grad school after and only maybe during a

802
00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:37.949 A:middle L:90%
conference, it's sort of this continual thing. Okay

803
00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:39.829 A:middle L:90%
, and with social, there's just so many different

804
00:38:39.829 --> 00:38:42.579 A:middle L:90%
platforms out there, right? It's like a big

805
00:38:42.579 --> 00:38:45.019 A:middle L:90%
, huge sandbox of cool, you can quote me

806
00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:46.699 A:middle L:90%
on that one, It's a sandbox of cool,

807
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:53.150 A:middle L:90%
anybody on Pinterest Pinterest people. Yeah, you just

808
00:38:53.150 --> 00:38:58.250 A:middle L:90%
keep going continuous scroll your days over six hours later

809
00:38:58.250 --> 00:39:00.199 A:middle L:90%
, you can't help yourself. And you've seen a

810
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:01.860 A:middle L:90%
bunch of like, you know, like tattoos of

811
00:39:01.869 --> 00:39:05.719 A:middle L:90%
arrows and, and then there's like quotes, like

812
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.210 A:middle L:90%
so many quotes and you're so depressed afterwards. But

813
00:39:07.210 --> 00:39:09.409 A:middle L:90%
then, oh look a recipe and so then,

814
00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:12.199 A:middle L:90%
and then, and it's like, oh it's D

815
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:13.449 A:middle L:90%
. I. Y. This, but I mean

816
00:39:13.449 --> 00:39:15.079 A:middle L:90%
something you could buy for like five bucks to the

817
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:15.099 A:middle L:90%
store, but you're like, no, no,

818
00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:19.489 A:middle L:90%
I got a hot glue gun and some thumbtacks And

819
00:39:19.489 --> 00:39:23.429 A:middle L:90%
12 hours later you've done it. And then tumbler

820
00:39:23.429 --> 00:39:28.150 A:middle L:90%
anybody on tumbler, couple people read it and he

821
00:39:28.150 --> 00:39:29.380 A:middle L:90%
read it, folks in here, we have the

822
00:39:29.389 --> 00:39:31.199 A:middle L:90%
Reddit crowd yesterday, that's how we determine how nerdy

823
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:36.110 A:middle L:90%
you are. Uh huh, Vine six seconds,

824
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.989 A:middle L:90%
Yep. Find me a little quiet google plus and

825
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.269 A:middle L:90%
google plus people. Yeah, it's a little a

826
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:44.329 A:middle L:90%
little lonely there too. But the hangouts are fun

827
00:39:45.219 --> 00:39:46.519 A:middle L:90%
now in terms of getting social. One of things

828
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:49.130 A:middle L:90%
I would say is this when it comes to your

829
00:39:49.130 --> 00:39:52.940 A:middle L:90%
campus and how many of you are from Virginia Tech

830
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.849 A:middle L:90%
? Yeah, like almost everybody, but if you're

831
00:39:55.849 --> 00:39:58.380 A:middle L:90%
not from Virginia tech is a lot of you heard

832
00:39:58.380 --> 00:40:00.230 A:middle L:90%
this yesterday, is there are people at your schools

833
00:40:00.230 --> 00:40:02.110 A:middle L:90%
who are just rock stars when it comes to social

834
00:40:02.110 --> 00:40:04.610 A:middle L:90%
media and it might be you it might be somebody

835
00:40:04.610 --> 00:40:09.019 A:middle L:90%
else very long. If you are that rock star

836
00:40:10.010 --> 00:40:14.829 A:middle L:90%
, get in your job description please. Yeah,

837
00:40:16.309 --> 00:40:19.809 A:middle L:90%
because honestly you're doing great work when it comes to

838
00:40:19.809 --> 00:40:21.530 A:middle L:90%
social, but if you're not getting paid for it

839
00:40:22.909 --> 00:40:25.969 A:middle L:90%
and if you leave it goes with you make sure

840
00:40:25.969 --> 00:40:28.699 A:middle L:90%
that if you're doing social media as part of your

841
00:40:28.699 --> 00:40:30.679 A:middle L:90%
job, but you're not getting paid for getting your

842
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:31.539 A:middle L:90%
job description. So it's not just part of your

843
00:40:31.539 --> 00:40:34.550 A:middle L:90%
passion, but it's part of the job itself.

844
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.440 A:middle L:90%
The next person in line after you comes in with

845
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:38.909 A:middle L:90%
those skills comes in with that capacity to be in

846
00:40:38.909 --> 00:40:43.440 A:middle L:90%
that space because you should be social media batman?

847
00:40:45.110 --> 00:40:46.590 A:middle L:90%
Really, that's who I want to be. Really

848
00:40:46.590 --> 00:40:52.590 A:middle L:90%
social media batman. Now, one of the topics

849
00:40:52.590 --> 00:40:53.489 A:middle L:90%
on the twit folks that kind of grabbed this from

850
00:40:53.489 --> 00:40:57.170 A:middle L:90%
the poll, people like we want to gain more

851
00:40:57.170 --> 00:41:00.250 A:middle L:90%
followers and more likes don't focus on that stuff.

852
00:41:00.530 --> 00:41:04.980 A:middle L:90%
Those are vanity metrics, how many followers you have

853
00:41:04.989 --> 00:41:07.260 A:middle L:90%
is meaningless. One of these days, I'm just

854
00:41:07.260 --> 00:41:09.739 A:middle L:90%
going to tank my twitter account and start from scratch

855
00:41:10.110 --> 00:41:12.369 A:middle L:90%
because at the end of day it doesn't matter how

856
00:41:12.369 --> 00:41:14.059 A:middle L:90%
many people are following you, it matters what you

857
00:41:14.059 --> 00:41:15.929 A:middle L:90%
have to say. It matters how many interactions you're

858
00:41:15.929 --> 00:41:20.210 A:middle L:90%
getting back and forth with people, the conversation people

859
00:41:20.210 --> 00:41:22.829 A:middle L:90%
are favoring your stuff there, retweeting your stuff,

860
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:24.210 A:middle L:90%
it's all about the value that you're adding and when

861
00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:25.820 A:middle L:90%
it comes to the lives of your students, about

862
00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:28.460 A:middle L:90%
what are you providing to them? It's not about

863
00:41:28.460 --> 00:41:30.630 A:middle L:90%
getting students to like your facebook page because guess what

864
00:41:30.630 --> 00:41:32.300 A:middle L:90%
if you get students to like your facebook page?

865
00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:34.489 A:middle L:90%
And a lot of times we do that because we

866
00:41:34.489 --> 00:41:36.639 A:middle L:90%
give them a T shirt or an ipad or something

867
00:41:36.809 --> 00:41:39.820 A:middle L:90%
, wow, clout score vomit in my mouth.

868
00:41:42.809 --> 00:41:44.940 A:middle L:90%
I got a little sick up here, thanks frank

869
00:41:45.309 --> 00:41:47.789 A:middle L:90%
. But you know, it's like Getting people to

870
00:41:47.789 --> 00:41:51.650 A:middle L:90%
do something based on a prize means that say like

871
00:41:51.650 --> 00:41:53.550 A:middle L:90%
1000 people like your page 999 only did it because

872
00:41:53.550 --> 00:41:55.329 A:middle L:90%
I thought they could win something and only one person

873
00:41:55.329 --> 00:41:59.230 A:middle L:90%
is happy because they actually did win something. Focus

874
00:41:59.230 --> 00:42:00.949 A:middle L:90%
on value and content providing something that they can't get

875
00:42:00.949 --> 00:42:04.139 A:middle L:90%
in other spaces. The same thing goes with twitter

876
00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:07.079 A:middle L:90%
and any other site for that matter, just because

877
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:07.630 A:middle L:90%
you hit a bunch of likes just because you get

878
00:42:07.630 --> 00:42:10.050 A:middle L:90%
a bunch of people following you, it doesn't necessarily

879
00:42:10.050 --> 00:42:15.599 A:middle L:90%
mean much. That's more vanity. Okay, this

880
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.019 A:middle L:90%
piece here, this point from the University of Minnesota

881
00:42:19.019 --> 00:42:21.349 A:middle L:90%
communicators for him, I just love this tweet because

882
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.610 A:middle L:90%
social media literally is everybody's job. How many of

883
00:42:23.610 --> 00:42:29.630 A:middle L:90%
you check email on a daily basis? It's kind

884
00:42:29.630 --> 00:42:31.380 A:middle L:90%
of part of your job communicating back and forth of

885
00:42:31.389 --> 00:42:35.909 A:middle L:90%
people. Social media is the same way Every single

886
00:42:35.909 --> 00:42:37.480 A:middle L:90%
one of you can use social media to engage with

887
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.800 A:middle L:90%
your students. Does't have to be just the department

888
00:42:38.809 --> 00:42:40.280 A:middle L:90%
, doesn't have to be just your office with the

889
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.900 A:middle L:90%
logo, engage with your students on a 1-1 basis

890
00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:45.929 A:middle L:90%
on social media. You know that's a lot of

891
00:42:45.929 --> 00:42:46.469 A:middle L:90%
work and I'm like yeah it is but that's where

892
00:42:46.469 --> 00:42:49.750 A:middle L:90%
they're at and that's what we should be doing is

893
00:42:49.750 --> 00:42:51.559 A:middle L:90%
engaging with them. There's cool stuff you can do

894
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.650 A:middle L:90%
with social, like, Sherry over at chapman University

895
00:42:53.650 --> 00:42:57.400 A:middle L:90%
. She does great work with social media there and

896
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.519 A:middle L:90%
they were doing stuff for commencement where they put in

897
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.309 A:middle L:90%
tweets up on the jumbotron, it looked like this

898
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:07.360 A:middle L:90%
, so excited to see, so and so graduate

899
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.940 A:middle L:90%
, That's cool stuff. There's a couple other things

900
00:43:12.940 --> 00:43:14.019 A:middle L:90%
too, when it comes to social, one of

901
00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:15.809 A:middle L:90%
my favorites recently, this Rise of the ephemeral Web

902
00:43:16.659 --> 00:43:22.230 A:middle L:90%
and Snapchat, they were snap chatting me yesterday during

903
00:43:22.230 --> 00:43:23.010 A:middle L:90%
my presentation. Like a guy in the front took

904
00:43:23.010 --> 00:43:25.340 A:middle L:90%
my picture. Yeah, he's creepy, He was

905
00:43:25.340 --> 00:43:28.119 A:middle L:90%
wearing blue pants, so you know who he was

906
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:30.889 A:middle L:90%
and then another guy over here on this side was

907
00:43:30.889 --> 00:43:32.550 A:middle L:90%
looking at the picture of me, you know who

908
00:43:32.550 --> 00:43:37.269 A:middle L:90%
you are and I was like really your snap chatting

909
00:43:37.269 --> 00:43:39.650 A:middle L:90%
me during my talk. Okay, thanks, but

910
00:43:39.650 --> 00:43:42.639 A:middle L:90%
Snapchat is kind of cool and I think what's interesting

911
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.730 A:middle L:90%
with this rise of the ephemeral web is that people

912
00:43:45.739 --> 00:43:47.699 A:middle L:90%
are getting a little more relaxed because it's not just

913
00:43:47.699 --> 00:43:50.519 A:middle L:90%
about sexting, let's be honest. And people are

914
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:52.150 A:middle L:90%
talking about Snapchat like it's gonna be dirty pictures that

915
00:43:52.150 --> 00:43:54.639 A:middle L:90%
disappear and they don't really disappear, but you hope

916
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:58.710 A:middle L:90%
they do. Mhm. But people are more relaxed

917
00:43:58.710 --> 00:44:00.630 A:middle L:90%
because guess what, facebook and twitter in some of

918
00:44:00.630 --> 00:44:01.280 A:middle L:90%
these places has gotten a little bit too formal.

919
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.510 A:middle L:90%
We're so focused on the personal brand, what people

920
00:44:04.510 --> 00:44:07.099 A:middle L:90%
think of us and we just want to be goofy

921
00:44:07.099 --> 00:44:08.119 A:middle L:90%
and be human and share the best parts of us

922
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.159 A:middle L:90%
which is our personality and snapchats kind of enabled people

923
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:13.659 A:middle L:90%
to do that in a way that's just kind of

924
00:44:13.659 --> 00:44:24.710 A:middle L:90%
refreshing now, it's, it's easy to knock google

925
00:44:24.710 --> 00:44:28.969 A:middle L:90%
Plus it's really easy because they have made it terrifically

926
00:44:28.969 --> 00:44:30.079 A:middle L:90%
easy because they just tried to mimic facebook in many

927
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:34.320 A:middle L:90%
ways. But in terms of really cool functionality because

928
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:36.170 A:middle L:90%
I'm giving you sort of these ideas and these thought

929
00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:37.719 A:middle L:90%
pieces. So when you gather together you can think

930
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:39.679 A:middle L:90%
about maybe sort of like your utility kit, you

931
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:42.570 A:middle L:90%
know like a pile of legos you're trying to build

932
00:44:42.570 --> 00:44:44.300 A:middle L:90%
something cool out of. I'm giving all these pieces

933
00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:45.510 A:middle L:90%
because one of things is you know google hangouts are

934
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:52.630 A:middle L:90%
awesome for collaboration for talking with students with video and

935
00:44:52.630 --> 00:44:54.019 A:middle L:90%
with colleagues as well for professional development. If you're

936
00:44:54.019 --> 00:44:57.130 A:middle L:90%
trying to do a session with colleagues across the country

937
00:44:57.130 --> 00:45:00.869 A:middle L:90%
and you're working together it's magic that they let us

938
00:45:00.869 --> 00:45:02.260 A:middle L:90%
have this. And then did you see this that

939
00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:05.389 A:middle L:90%
facebook is going to plan this? They're going to

940
00:45:05.389 --> 00:45:08.949 A:middle L:90%
sell T. V. Ads in facebook. I

941
00:45:08.949 --> 00:45:14.280 A:middle L:90%
mean facebook grant is a little greedy obviously because those

942
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:20.449 A:middle L:90%
hoodies aren't cheap. Yeah but still like keep sort

943
00:45:20.449 --> 00:45:22.659 A:middle L:90%
of iterating and coming up with different things and guess

944
00:45:22.659 --> 00:45:25.139 A:middle L:90%
what? We can use this stuff. It's gonna

945
00:45:25.139 --> 00:45:27.940 A:middle L:90%
be interesting to see how this plays out. And

946
00:45:27.940 --> 00:45:30.420 A:middle L:90%
the other thing that's happening to is our senior leaders

947
00:45:30.289 --> 00:45:32.449 A:middle L:90%
are getting into this game in a way that they

948
00:45:32.449 --> 00:45:35.469 A:middle L:90%
never have before. They're being much more vulnerable,

949
00:45:35.469 --> 00:45:37.590 A:middle L:90%
much more sort of exposing who they are in terms

950
00:45:37.590 --> 00:45:39.739 A:middle L:90%
of personality. Santa ono is the president at the

951
00:45:39.750 --> 00:45:45.559 A:middle L:90%
University of Cincinnati. He invented the hashtag hottest college

952
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:47.190 A:middle L:90%
in America and he just uses it all the time

953
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:51.989 A:middle L:90%
about Cincinnati and it's like caught on like we're the

954
00:45:51.989 --> 00:45:53.039 A:middle L:90%
hottest college in America and like he said so so

955
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:57.030 A:middle L:90%
it must be true and he's the president but he's

956
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.050 A:middle L:90%
he's literally tweeting in the morning at like five a.m.

957
00:46:00.050 --> 00:46:00.769 A:middle L:90%
And then you tweet him up at 11 o'clock or

958
00:46:00.780 --> 00:46:04.090 A:middle L:90%
12 at night and the guys tweeting back at you

959
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.739 A:middle L:90%
. It's amazing how senior leaders have adopted this tool

960
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.440 A:middle L:90%
and you know, he's he's tweeting at someone called

961
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.199 A:middle L:90%
chore monster over here, like he doesn't care,

962
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:20.920 A:middle L:90%
it's awesome. Okay, so looking at my clock

963
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.099 A:middle L:90%
here and I've got about 74 slides to go.

964
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:28.429 A:middle L:90%
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. She was far too

965
00:46:28.429 --> 00:46:30.480 A:middle L:90%
relieved when I said I was kidding. I have

966
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:36.780 A:middle L:90%
a surprise for a friend. I was on facebook

967
00:46:36.780 --> 00:46:37.809 A:middle L:90%
just a couple days ago and a friend made this

968
00:46:37.809 --> 00:46:42.230 A:middle L:90%
announcement and it reminded me about what I really like

969
00:46:42.230 --> 00:46:45.230 A:middle L:90%
about social media, what I really like about doing

970
00:46:45.230 --> 00:46:47.500 A:middle L:90%
this work because it's not just about sort of pushing

971
00:46:47.500 --> 00:46:50.670 A:middle L:90%
the buttons and kind of get on the edge and

972
00:46:50.670 --> 00:46:52.510 A:middle L:90%
and sort of you know, challenging folks, but

973
00:46:52.510 --> 00:46:53.789 A:middle L:90%
it's about the community of folks that make student affairs

974
00:46:53.789 --> 00:46:57.559 A:middle L:90%
such a great place to be in and to work

975
00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:59.599 A:middle L:90%
in. And, you know, I got onto

976
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:01.110 A:middle L:90%
twitter in March of 2000 and seven and, and

977
00:47:01.110 --> 00:47:04.150 A:middle L:90%
sort of 2000 and nine is when I discovered the

978
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.510 A:middle L:90%
great community of people on twitter from marketing and communications

979
00:47:07.510 --> 00:47:10.559 A:middle L:90%
in higher education to student affairs practitioners and then sort

980
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.429 A:middle L:90%
of late 2000 and nine is when the s a

981
00:47:13.429 --> 00:47:15.780 A:middle L:90%
chat hashtag came online and we started having these synchronous

982
00:47:15.780 --> 00:47:20.809 A:middle L:90%
chats as well as a synchronous sharing. And I

983
00:47:20.809 --> 00:47:22.800 A:middle L:90%
started meeting people in that virtual sense. And we

984
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.949 A:middle L:90%
had these amazing conversations on twitter and then we meet

985
00:47:25.949 --> 00:47:28.989 A:middle L:90%
at a conference like Akpa or Nasca at one of

986
00:47:28.989 --> 00:47:30.719 A:middle L:90%
the annuals and we just keep the conversation going that

987
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:32.050 A:middle L:90%
we had started on twitter and it was like,

988
00:47:32.059 --> 00:47:35.210 A:middle L:90%
we've been buds for a long time and there's this

989
00:47:35.210 --> 00:47:37.159 A:middle L:90%
whole community of folks that could literally fill a room

990
00:47:37.250 --> 00:47:38.920 A:middle L:90%
that have known each other for a long time.

991
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:42.860 A:middle L:90%
We're talking years and years now and it's because of

992
00:47:42.860 --> 00:47:44.559 A:middle L:90%
social media that's made it happen. And for me

993
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:45.239 A:middle L:90%
, that's one of the coolest things about all this

994
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.900 A:middle L:90%
, like you strip away the marketing, the communication

995
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.409 A:middle L:90%
, it is about peer to peer connections, but

996
00:47:52.409 --> 00:47:54.969 A:middle L:90%
I think it's sort of the thing that we're trying

997
00:47:54.969 --> 00:47:58.769 A:middle L:90%
to do here at this essay tech on conference is

998
00:47:58.769 --> 00:48:01.849 A:middle L:90%
to tap into the beauty and the creativity and the

999
00:48:01.860 --> 00:48:05.769 A:middle L:90%
innovative thoughts are in each one of you as opposed

1000
00:48:05.769 --> 00:48:07.829 A:middle L:90%
to just being receivers on sort of sage on the

1001
00:48:07.829 --> 00:48:09.190 A:middle L:90%
stage model like we've been doing for a little bit

1002
00:48:09.190 --> 00:48:12.809 A:middle L:90%
here. So I want to share what my friend

1003
00:48:12.809 --> 00:48:15.869 A:middle L:90%
posted because it really cracks me up a little bit

1004
00:48:15.869 --> 00:48:19.780 A:middle L:90%
and it kind of made my day as well,

1005
00:48:20.269 --> 00:48:22.960 A:middle L:90%
anybody like memes, anybody, any meme fans here

1006
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:24.269 A:middle L:90%
? Okay, so I'm going to share. This

1007
00:48:25.369 --> 00:48:29.110 A:middle L:90%
Says one does not simply announce a pregnancy with just

1008
00:48:29.110 --> 00:48:30.550 A:middle L:90%
an ultrasound. You're having a baby, Can I

1009
00:48:30.550 --> 00:48:35.170 A:middle L:90%
babysit? I can move in tomorrow, brace yourself

1010
00:48:35.179 --> 00:48:37.590 A:middle L:90%
. Winter is coming. And so is another concept

1011
00:48:37.670 --> 00:48:39.210 A:middle L:90%
. I don't always announce a pregnancy, but when

1012
00:48:39.210 --> 00:48:44.469 A:middle L:90%
I do, I use memes. And so if

1013
00:48:44.469 --> 00:48:45.250 A:middle L:90%
you would do me a favor and grant me this

1014
00:48:45.250 --> 00:48:46.739 A:middle L:90%
one favor, that's all I'm going to ask in

1015
00:48:46.739 --> 00:48:52.019 A:middle L:90%
terms of favors for these two days is obviously if

1016
00:48:52.019 --> 00:48:53.360 A:middle L:90%
you like Star Trek, you can enjoy that one

1017
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:57.510 A:middle L:90%
too. If you would tweet at chris Condon.

1018
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:00.280 A:middle L:90%
He is cl cons in and with him, Congratulations

1019
00:49:00.869 --> 00:49:04.809 A:middle L:90%
