 Hi, both of you, hi everybody, welcome to day two. Woo-hoo, James Lydde at the last minute there. I know you were having too much fun in hallway chats. Exactly, I was just watching the Gasta videos and the Cloners and the fun in there and just old folks and new folks, so wow. I mean already, I was like, oh, the Gasta. Luckily, Marin said something in the stream or else I would have been watching them for the next hour. I know, I think you, we were just like, where's Tim countdown? What did you all think of day one? It was wow, wasn't it? Absolutely. To be honest, I barely slept last night. It's my general go down into the day. Today I am fully swagged out. I've got the shirt. I'm not sure if you could see my toad right there. We've got the stickers, the mugs. What's happening today? I'm not sure. I can't remember. We are full on capitalism today. Bye. Consume, consume, okay, consume. Well, I do have some slides, some visuals for this morning as we're going to kick off day two. So if you're just joining us this morning, welcome. We are happy to have you here so stoked for another day of awesome content and voice channels and sessions and Twitter conversations and polls and bingos and all of the above. So let's get started. Not sure if do we want to introduce ourselves again because we just... Maybe because of the people who weren't here at day one. I mean, I get you there's going to be some new folks so it might be good to just refresh everybody. Sounds good. All right, Jim, who are you? Hi, I'm Jim Groom. I work with Reclaim Hosting and I'm one of the co-chairs, thankfully, of OER by Domains 21. Day one was awesome and I hope day two can carry that same energy because I was absolutely enthralled yesterday all day. I came off of it and I couldn't do anything. I just wanted to get back into it. So thank you all for making it so amazing. Yeah, same for me. I'll introduce myself now because I'm going to have to skip off a bit early for a 10 o'clock here, obviously. But I'm Lou Mycroft. I am a nomad. My landscape is English Further Education and post-human stuff, sort of internationally. Community college, really. And I'm so excited today because we've got our first FE Community College presentations and I'm like a mother hen with chicks, I tell you. I really am. Hi, I'm Louise Drum. I'm a lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University and I'm one of the OER co-chairs and I had a fantastic day yesterday. I have a number of highlights that I can't go through because it wouldn't be fair to pick on any of them. But I think we've got such a great day lined up for us today as well. And I encourage people to go to Discord to continue the conversations there, to use the hallway chats. I'm definitely going to pop into the voice chats today, actually. That's something I'm going to be doing so you can see me. If you see me in there, come and say hello. But other than that, just have a fantastic day. And if this is your first day and you didn't make it to any of yesterday, you're welcome. There's lots to come see. Enjoy. Exactly. Pop right on in. There's so many places to come hang out. I'm Lauren Hanks, by the way, director of operations at Reclaim Hosting and also co-chair for OER by Domains. Yesterday, my Discord dreams came true. It was so fun to see everyone in there. My dream for this was just this creative chaos with so many different mediums for conversation and ways to have that conversation and engage with this conference. That happened yesterday, so I'm really excited to continue those discussions today as well. Popping into sessions and chats, but then also in the voice channels and on the Domains 21 conversations yesterday. We're fantastic OER conversations yesterday and the chats also fantastic. Really excited. Over to you, Joe. Hi there. I'm Joe Wilson. At the moment, I'm head of digital skills at City of Glasgow College, which is a large community college. I'm one of the co-chairs of this conference. I've been at the last 11 OER conferences and I'll say out loud yesterday really blew my mind. It's just been absolutely amazing. I think the other amazing bit is going to be the archive of things that we're going to have from the conference yesterday. If there's one thing I would ask you all to do and it's so important that the open education message reaches out around the world is there's amazing conference channels, but get on Twitter. Let's get the hashtag tweeted out there so that folks see what they're missing and the OER message keeps bouncing around the world so that our colleagues in higher education, further education, community colleges really get the open education message. So thanks, folks. Yesterday, I spoke to this slide. So if you're just arriving and you're just discovering Discord, what I asked you to do was to stick up a, if you want a national flag or something that represents where you're from and tell us where you are in Discord and then we'll all come back and say hello. And I just want to reach out a special welcome to any of our OER Domains 21 scholars who are with us today. So you're very welcome. As I said yesterday, I benefited from this in 2018. It's fantastic to be able to have people here and you're a very valued part of this community. Thanks to our sponsors and Effie. Yeah. And I mean, I'm always bouncing around about this, but I wish we called our Effie Community College. Joe, we need to start a campaign and go back to that. Welcome to Schools Participants, our first ever Schools Participants as well today. And a big shout out, shall we, for Brian Mathers, Visual Thinkery, App Visual Thinkery and the amazing images he's created for us. Those little tele-videos, they're just wonderful. I love them so much. As Joe was saying, as you're tweeting today, make sure to use these hashtags. OER, by Domains 21. Jim, I'm not sure if I took your slide. Sorry about that. I know you're always down to talk about hashtags. No, I think I got hashtags because it's like the easiest thing to talk about, right? So like, give it to him. He can't really mess up a hashtag. Can I talk about this, Lauren? You can. It's too complicated. This is complex. This starts to get complex. A big shout out to all the folks. I think I counted this morning. There's almost 180 media badges. Oh, wow. It's like a media mix, media bad remixer. It was an effort with Brian Mathers, whose art has inspired so much of the conference aesthetic and alt aesthetic and OER's aesthetic. So thank you, Brian. But also, you know, it's fun. And I love that. There's one in there if you look for it. If you're looking for an Easter egg, there's like a media doomonger with this crazy looking person. It's like, you know, repent all you surveillance sinners. So there's some fun stuff people have done. So check them out first and foremost, tweet them out or put them in the introduction. Like Joe said, that would be another thing to do is maybe put your media badge in there. And I know Antonella, my special lady friend, was like, I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look so cool. They're such a good visual for your conference. And so thank you all for like playing along. I love it. It's great. I completely agree. Other resources available for you as you're jumping into day two. Keep in mind that we have a help page. So if you are on OER by domains 21.org and you go to the menu, you can click help there and you'll be brought to this help page, which brings you through getting started in the system, the ways in which you can use the conference tools. And it goes over the display site, YouTube Live, Discord, and of course ways to reach out if you need help. Just a quick thank you to the sponsors and to partners for this conference. We really appreciate their support. And a big thank you to Louise for picking up where I should have. It looks like we have a few more minutes left of this welcome. So as you are thinking about going to your next slide, or next session, if you want to put in the comments what you're most excited about for day two, maybe we can feature some of those comments here quickly with our fancy little StreamYard tools here. It would be awesome to feature those. Super looking forward to today. Yeah, I'll tell you how I'll get it started, though, as folks are saying there to do list. I'm really looking forward to... I'm partial because one of the things to build on Joe's point is I've been in the Domain's 21 track pretty much exclusively running with the chat and doing that stuff. And I'm looking forward to a lot of stuff happening there, the DS-1 or 6 radio session, the session about anthropology, what a one, et cetera, et cetera. But I am really looking forward to that feeling of connection that I'm getting through the chats in Discord and that I'm getting in the hallway chats. And I really, I think, and obviously, you know, the old pat yourself on the back idea, but I think that sense of connection that I got at OER in 2019 in Galway, I'm feeling here right now. And I really love that. It's not the same, obviously, it's different. It's different technologies, but we're educational technologists by and large. So this is a space that we can explore. And I feel really excited. So I look forward to more. It's a great point, Jim. And I'm just reading the comments. Lots of excitement happening. And I think folks are getting ready for the next session. So we should probably do the same. We've got maybe four minutes left to spare. So without further ado, enjoy the rest of your day. We'll see you in Discord and in the live and recorded chats and sessions. Absolutely. Have a great day. Choose folks over the day. Bye now. Bye.
