Never Let Them See You Sweat

By Helen Torigoe, Guest Contributor

Image of a forest with large tree in the center with multiple arm-like branches.

In the first or second year of my attending TCC, I remember “walking into” a session ten minutes before the start time, and the facilitator welcomed me and other early birds by name. I was stoked at being recognized by name and being involved in a conversation although I was just a new login name in cyberspace.

Perhaps that was the moment when I became comfortable and confident enough to continue being an enthusiastic TCC participant for years afterward.

At the 10th hour of the 24-hour-marathon of TCC2020@25 Plenary Sessions on April 15, 2020, Dr. Curtis Ho introduced the same gracious facilitator as the Facilitator Emeritus/Guru who had facilitated countless TCC sessions over more than 15 years. Yes, those of us who have been attending TCC every year are very familiar with Dr. Rev. Alan Selig’s warm welcome and calm introduction of the speakers. But this time, he was the plenary speaker on a topic none other than how best to facilitate TCC sessions: “Never Let Them See You Sweat: Tips and Reflections from 15+ years as a TCC Online Conference Session Facilitator.” 

As Dr. Selig shared his 15-Point Declaration of Attitudes and Actions for Facilitating TCC Sessions that he had gleaned from personal experience, I realized how deeply wise and intentional he had been in every interaction in every session that he had facilitated. I kept nodding and smiling after he introduced each of the 15 declarations/tips because I remembered how I felt as an audience in the sessions that Dr. Selig had facilitated. He has indeed practiced these nuggets of wisdom over the years at TCC. He also observed that they apply to life in general.

Here are Dr. Selig’s 15 declarations/tips/reflections:

Never Let Them See You Sweat (Attitudes and Actions for Session Facilitators)

  1. This is an adventure.
  2. Smile when you talk.
  3. Be humble.
  4. A little paranoia can be good.
  5. Arrive early and stay late.
  6. Have emergency contact info handy.
  7. Welcome people as they arrive.
  8. Discover experience and comfort levels of presenters.
  9. Be ready with a few icebreakers.
  10. Pay attention.
  11. Life goes on.
  12. Every presentation is unique.
  13. Use your power wisely.
  14. Assume platform ignorance.
  15. Never let them see you sweat.

I look forward to bringing an adventurous spirit, cheerfulness, humility, preparedness, attention to detail, and calm demeanor to the future TCC sessions that I will be honored to facilitate. If you plan to facilitate TCC sessions in the future, I highly recommend listening and re-listening to Dr. Selig’s presentation. And remember that:

A personal voice is the digital equivalent of a warm hug and just keep offering a smiling and calm presence.

Covid-19 Moving a School Online

By Helen Torigoe, Guest Contributor

Image of Dr. AydinDr. Cengiz Hakan Aydin, Professor atAnadolu University in Turkey presented timely personal testimony as a plenary speaker during the TCC2020@25 special One Day in Our Lives series of 24 sessions in 24 hours. Dr. Aydin wears many hats in his home country as an expert in open and distance learning, MOOCs, educational communications and technology. When Coronavirus unexpectedly shuttered schools in March 2020, Aydin set out to help his “120 daughters” (two biological and others “adopted” in a basketball program that he coaches) to continue learning despite the emergency. He did that by helping an entire K-12 private school shift from face-to-face to remote learning in just one month by coordinating existing technologies, human resources, and processes.

First, he clarified that remote learning (a temporary shift of instructional delivery to an alternate delivery mode due to crisis) is not the same as well-planned distance learning

Aydin relied on the skilled staff to build the technology infrastructure, trained teachers, and got parents involved. After successfully implementing remote delivery of 120+ courses to 836 students, Dr. Aydin continues to monitor the established systems and processes, train teachers, and maintain public relations (i.e. communicating with parents). 

AYDIN-2020@25Strategies, challenges, and solutions of building a remote learning site during week 1.

What Dr. Aydin accomplished in one month was impressive and I appreciated the nuggets of wisdom that he shared:

  • We can teach any subject in distance education with the right approach.
  • Teachers should focus more on asynchronous guiding of students and creating learning activities. (Provide templates for teachers to complete, to help them transfer skills to real situations.) Teachers should not focus on synchronous sessions that try to imitate face-to-face — it will never replace face-to-face.
  • Get ready for the next emergency or crisis.
  • Agile design is possible (in a week or a month as he did) by keeping to KISS (keep it short & simple).
  • Teachers can adapt faster than you can imagine.
  • Students are already there but parent involvement is necessary for time management and self-regulation.
  • There are lots of technology tools available.
  • While designing, consider:
    • Preconceptions and habits of the learners, teachers, parents
    • [How to help students learn] should be the focal point
    • Listen to teachers, students, admin, parents but rely on scientific knowledge and expertise
    • On-demand support of teachers is crucial, but the scaffolding of skills is important to empower them.

Lots of valuable lessons for those who design remote learning or distance learning!
