Your Remote Meetings Don’t Have to Feel Remote

Virtual meetings can often feel impersonal, awkward, and isolating, but there are ways to make them feel more intimate. For starters, if you’re the host, arrive a bit early to the video conference so you can greet people as they pop up on your screen and engage in a bit of friendly small talk. Encourage attendees to turn on their video — let them know ahead of time if it’s a requirement so they have time to prepare (or look presentable). Use people’s names and invite them to participate, if they feel comfortable doing so. Create warmth by looking directly into the camera to make “eye contact” with your participants. And make sure that the camera angle is at a comfortable level for others to see you — you don’t want your audience to have a great view of your nostrils! Remember to smile, insert an occasional laugh, and convey a friendly, engaging tone. It might feel awkward at first, but it doesn’t have to feel phony. You’re creating an inviting atmosphere and helping people feel present and connected during a trying time for all.

Leave Work at the Door — Even If You Can’t Leave the House

When you’re working from home, it can be really hard to transition from work mode to personal mode, but it’s more important than ever to keep the distinction clear. Here’s how to make the switch. First, establish a routine that eases you into work mode. Maybe it’s putting your dishes in the dishwasher, getting a cup of coffee, and then sitting down at your computer. Or maybe it’s doing a quick workout, showering, and then turning to your phone to check email. Do these activities in the same way each day to build the habit. Then, make a plan for your day, blocking out time on your calendar for meetings, answering emails, or focusing on special projects. Finally, set a wrap-up routine to end your workday. This could include doing a final scan to make sure you’ve responded to all critical emails, looking over your task list to decide what you will tackle tomorrow, and maybe even saying out loud to yourself, “The workday is done, I’m signing off.”

Spark Your Own Creativity

When our daily routines are geared toward barreling through a to-do list, it can be hard to set the right conditions for creativity. Fortunately, there is a time-tested approach — that’s also quite simple — for generating creative ideas. First, gather raw materials in your area of interest. This could mean anything from articles you've been meaning to read to the browser tabs you've left open on your computer. Then, spend time digesting the material -- and looking for connections. Fill in small index card with notes, as if you're trying to solve a puzzle. Shuffle between the physical cards looking for patterns and themes. Then — and this is the most important part — do nothing. Find a way to disengage your mind to allow unconscious processing, whether that’s by taking a walk, listening to music, watching a movie, or even taking a shower. This may not feel like tangible work, but clearing some headspace will make room for the ideas to come.

Check the Tone of Your Message Before Hitting Send

When teams are working remotely and stress levels are high, it’s all too easy to miscommunicate. Even well-intentioned messages can be misconstrued. So how do you avoid sending a Slack message or email that could be interpreted as passive-aggressive? One option is to use an emoji, which can go a long way in signaling tone, meaning, and emotion. But be careful — too many emojis could undermine your professionalism. Consider your audience before sending a slew of smileys. As a rule of thumb, try sticking to one emoji per message — unless it’s the very first time you’re communicating with someone, in which case, you might leave them out altogether. Also, be sure to spend a few minutes proofreading your message for typos, which are a not-so-subtle signal that you were in a rush or heightened emotional state when you hit send. Finally, read your message aloud to ensure that it’s clear and conveys the right tone. You don’t want to make a colleague unnecessarily anxious by saying, “Let’s talk,” when you mean something more like, “These are good suggestions, let’s discuss how to work them into the draft.” Putting a little more thought into the tone of your digital communication will make you the kind of colleague people look forward to working with.

Stay Positive to Help Yourself — and Others — Through This Stressful Time

During stressful and uncertain times, it’s normal to feel anxious and scared. Chances are, most people around you feel it, too. It’s easy to infect each other with anxiety and fear, but we can take steps to protect ourselves from these emotional contagions. To start, cut down on how often you engage in venues where fear feeds on itself, such as social media, cable news, and frenzied conversations with friends and coworkers. Do your best to distinguish between people who are speculating and those who have sound information. Also, take care of your mental health. This means exercising, practicing mindfulness and meditation, volunteering, and seeking out positive, high-quality connections with others — even if they’re virtual. Simple wellness practices like these will help you build resilience and positivity, and maybe pass some along to the people in your life.

Ética y Derecho en Analítica e Inteligencia Artificial.

Se necesitan tanto fundamentos en ética como en derecho en lo que se refiere al espacio de datos, que ya está caracterizando esta época.

Esto es porque los que se dedican al “Data Analytics”, no solo necesitan saber que hacen bien su trabajo, lo cual es un hecho, pero necesitan observar principios morales para llevarlo al siguiente nivel en términos de conocer el impacto que se quiere en el mundo y la sociedad en general,

ya sea en una organización sin fines de lucro o con fines de lucro.

En esta era digital es importante, que los que se dedican a está ciencia tengan conocimientos de derecho comercial, así como, la relación entre derecho y análisis de datos.

Existe una intersección entre emprendimiento, tecnología y derechos humanos, por lo que es necesario conocer el estado de las leyes que regulan el “BIG DATA”.

Por tanto, los nuevos profesionales dedicados a esta área del conocimiento, deben tener claridad en los principios del derecho y los principios de la ética, situación que ya es considerada por las Universidades que incluyen en su “Syllabus”, los contenidos del “Big Data”.

Ask These Questions If You’ve Been Laid Off

Unemployment has spiked in recent weeks and will continue to for some time. If you’ve been laid off or furloughed, or if you’re worried that you might be, make sure to get the information you need from your employer. This means asking your boss and HR the right questions, such as: When will I receive my last paycheck, and what will it include? What exactly happens to my benefits? Will I get paid for unused vacation time? It’s crucial to ask about severance and health care packages — and don’t assume you can’t negotiate the terms. And while it may be tough to think about the future, do what you can to make getting the next job easier. This means asking your boss if they’ll be a reference for you later, and asking HR for copies of your performance reviews, which will help you update your resume. While they may seem small, these steps will help you clarify the future and regain control.

How to Adjust to Working from Home

When you aren’t accustomed to working remotely, it can be hard to adjust psychologically. To make the transition, take a disciplined approach to managing your day and develop a few rituals. Schedule a start and an end time for work. Take a shower, get dressed — even if it’s not your usual office attire — then get started on the day’s activities. If you typically move around a lot at work, build that into your day by taking brief walks outside or even around the house. If you’re an extrovert and accustomed to a lot of social contact, make sure that still happens. Ask yourself: “How will I protect myself from feeling lonely or isolated?” and make a plan. And focus on the positives. Think about what you enjoy about working from home, for example, playing music or being more flexible with your time. Remind yourself that even if it’s not your choice right now, working from home can be fun.

In this new age of distance learning, it is critical that students are provided with experiences with relevant, intriguing phenomena that invite them to engage in science learning and help them to answer questions about what they've observed.   Both parents and teachers want students to do science outside of the classroom, and we've got to give them something to figure out. The NSTA Daily Do does both–read the full blog post to learn more and to access the free, daily resources available from NSTA. This Week's Dailys In this task, Why do we all have to stay home?, students and their families engage in the practice of Developing and Using Models and discussion to figure out how social distancing (and shelter in place) slows the spread of the coronavirus. This task comes from a coronavirus lesson designed to help young children talk about changes they've seen and heard about, learn how the coronavirus is spread, and take actions to keep themselves and their families healthy and safe. The complete lesson and collection of supporting resources can be found on the NSTA website. View the Daily. Today's task explores something many students and families are familiar with: eggs! This task, What's in an Egg?, engages students in science and engineering practices to figure out why some eggs produce chickens (or other living things) and some do not. This task has been modified from its original design so it can be used by students, parents, and teachers in distance and home learning. While students could complete this task independently, we encourage students to work virtually with peers or in the home with family members. View the Daily.  In today's task, How do we find patterns in weather?, students and their families read the NSTA eBook Thinking Like a Scientist: Investigating Weather and Climate, which engages them in science and engineering practices and the use of patterns as a thinking tool (crosscutting concept) to figure out science ideas about weather and how patterns of weather determine the climate of an area. View the Daily.  In this task, Why is my shadow always changing?, NSTA Press author Page Keeley shares strategies for using formative assessment probes to engage students in productive talk and science and engineering practices to figure out why shadows change size. These strategies can be used in the classroom and at home to make students' thinking visible, which both drives students to investigate their own ideas and question and guides educators in planning instruction. View the Daily.
