We always announce these events in this manner:
Join us for our 5th Zoom meeting on Sunday, April 26 at Noon UTC to talk about Life in the Time of COVID 19 – an opportunity to spend some time together and talk about how you’re spending your lockdown days. Or anything else that may be on your mind 🙂

This week I added:
The agenda each week follows the precepts of Community as Curriculum – it’s open mic!

20:49:06 From nahirco2 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.relaxio.sleepo&hl=en_US
20:49:16 From Doris Molero : This is the video Ilistened to last night.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXzk5i4Ofe8
20:50:06 From Chris Fry : this video of the sea was very relaxing https://www.facebook.com/FinnHopsonPhoto/videos/2862724140432156/
20:52:09 From Michael Coghlan : https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47169549 Finland basic income trial left people ‘happier but jobless’
20:52:11 From Heike Philp : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6tz_Werner he was one of the thinkers of basic income as the general manager of the DM a huge drug store.
20:53:12 From Daf : Sorry my grandchildren called me
20:55:40 From Michael Coghlan : But UBI is also cheaper for society as a whole. It actually costs less than paying unemployment benefits and all the infrastructure needed to administer it
20:56:14 From Heike Philp : correct Michael
20:56:22 From Jane Petring : Good point, Michael!
20:56:42 From Elizabeth A : maybe you could explain what UBI is Michael 🙂
20:56:56 From Heike Philp : and it is said to be less costly than taking tax from working people to support those without jobs
20:58:26 From Steve : Here’s the Andrew Yang website where he defines his vision for UBI. https://www.yang2020.com/what-is-freedom-dividend-faq/
20:59:51 From Michael Coghlan : Good site Steve – thanks
20:59:56 From Elizabeth A : We had a candidate in the presidential election who put it on the table (France 2017)
21:00:21 From Elizabeth A : he got 6% of the vote
21:00:44 From Michael Coghlan : It’s quiite a radical idea for many
21:01:05 From Michael Coghlan : but for me it seems a logical solution to many problems
21:01:07 From Steve : I only mentioned it because I think COVID19 will have such a drastic negative impact on economies all over the world.

21:01:16 From Hala Fawzi : https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/
21:01:24 From Michael Coghlan : Correct Steve
21:01:36 From Heike Philp : Jitsi is only good for 6-8 people
21:01:42 From Vance Stevens : webex
21:01:49 From Michael Coghlan : That potential negative impact is as scary as the virus itself
21:01:50 From Vance Stevens : steve is dan bassill
21:02:11 From Michael Coghlan : Aha – thought I recognised that voice!
21:02:17 From Heike Philp : The owner of Zoom worked at WebEX
21:02:40 From Hala Fawzi : https://www.webex.com/
21:02:52 From Rita Zeinstejer : cisco webex
21:02:59 From Nina Liakos : I wonder where the money will come from. Whole countries could go bankrupt. Mitch McConnell thinks it’s OK for states to do so. So where would countries get the $ for UBI? If they just print money, wouldn’t that spur inflation?
21:03:48 From Michael Coghlan : Nina – it may only work in economoies that already pay put a great deal in unemployment beefits
21:04:20 From Michael Coghlan : For thiose economies a UBI is apparently cheaper
21:04:20 From Steve : If people are out of work, they don’t pay taxes. If they have UBI they spend money, generate tax revenue. That helps pay for it. I’m not an expert, which is why I shared the Andrew Yang site.
21:05:08 From Heike Philp : great input Steve, these are the arguments
21:05:45 From Heike Philp : and the biggest issue is: will people continue to work if they dont have to
21:06:31 From Doris Molero : Sus Nyrop It was great. Very encouraging to be together. Unfortunately I had a computer breakdown on my very fragile and old Mac, I am at the Point where I have to consider the tedious process of a total cleanup reinstall… See you next time.
21:06:40 From Michael Coghlan : Time for me to go – goodnight from down here 😉
21:06:41 From Steve : Are any of you using Microsoft TEAMS?
21:06:59 From Nina Liakos : I think may people would work at what they love (art, music, public service…) when if they had to earn a living they would not be able to
21:07:13 From Daf : night, Michael!
21:07:30 From Elizabeth A : houseparty
21:07:48 From Chris Fry : time to go for me,too but to have lunch! Bye everybody
21:08:04 From Daf : bye Chris
21:09:18 From Jane Petring : It was good to see all of you! I need to go as well!
21:09:27 From Teresa : bye Jane!
21:09:37 From Elizabeth A : bye Jane
21:10:11 From Heike Philp : Are you using Classroom Onenote?
21:13:55 From Steve : It was great to reconnect with all of you today. Dan Bassill Good bye for this week.
21:14:42 From Daf : bye bye guys, see you next week!


More about TALIN

This was Learning2gether episode 454 and TALIN event #11

TALIN stands for Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, https://tinyurl.com/talin2020

The idea for TALIN was prompted by suggestions in numerous cross-fertilizing communities of practice that there was needed a space where members of these CoPs could meet online and talk informally to one another about how they are dealing with changes in their personal and professional contexts and what they are doing to help others in this trying time of pandemic.

Learning2gether can host TALIN events in Zoom during times of isolation/lockdown if they are intended to be recorded and shared with the wider community, and if they take place between 02:00-14:00 UTC

You can write yourself in on the schedule. If you want to propose an event

  1. Visit this page https://tinyurl.com/talin2020
  2. Click on “Request Edit Access” to the left of your profile picture at the top of the page
  3. Wait for approval
  4. Write in your event on the schedule. Give the time in UTC if you can, and give the time in your location also as a double check on time

You can host the event yourself, but if you want Learning2gether to host it and promote it, please allow enough time to check that I am available, at least a few days in advance.
