Evie Day 363
Good morning, and a happy Wednesday to you all. Today is 13 March 2024.
Hard to believe that my granddaughter turns one in just three more days. I know the counter says 363, but remember, this is a leap year. Arrangements are being made, and families are planning travel.
I was going to have a presentation tomorrow afternoon, but it looks like that is being rescheduled. The friend and teammate making the arrangements for it is making an effort to get a few more registrations for the event, so a better time will hopefully present that accommodation.
My training partner had a challenge yesterday with her car, and that led to me jumping into a session to help out. Basically, she had a space at the car dealership to work while her car was being serviced, and some executive kicked her out right in the middle of the session. I jumped in to cover the session – it was a review session, and I was fine to do that – I was familiar with the subject as it was effectively a more serious review of the same stuff I reviewed the previous Friday. She let the executive know who was in the class and that she passed along info about the make and model of her car as a subtle message to the dealership exec. He made some assumptions that he shouldn’t have made.
That means I’ll get a little more time to plan out my chalk talk for tomorrow morning, and that is fine by me. I’m ok with data integration services, but there is always something more to learn.
Other than that, there’s not a lot going on. I’m looking at more practical uses of AI in my virtual classrooms, and I use it regularly for quick-hitter questions that I can’t answer. I had a learner ask me about comparing a service I was familiar with another service I had never heard of… I popped that question into CoPilot and then shared the response. The learner was not only satisfied, he was pretty impressed with the depth of the question and the referral links.
I also like it for looking up key points on unfamiliar terms. Some news story threw around the name “Project 2025”, and I had never heard of it, so I popped it into CoPIlot and asked for a summary and key points. That was helpful. I’ll continue to use AI for just that purpose – filling in the gaps.
I’m going to get this in the can and get on with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
