#OTalk @OTalk_
Hello everyone and welcome to tonight's #OTalk It's @preston_jenny on the account tonight with Dr Karen Bell [REDACTED USER]. Who do we have joining us tonight?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] Hello folks! Happy #otweek2019 #otalk https://t.co/ty3t4u27lw
#OTalk @OTalk_
Three simple rules: remember to include #OTalk in all your tweets; remember the code of conduct; and most importantly have fun. It is #OTWeek2019 after all. [REDACTED USER]
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thanks @BillWongOT cheers! #OTalk
💙Arty_OT💙 @ot_arty
@OTalk_ @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] #OTalk Hi, I´m lurking and dipping in and out too
#OTalk @OTalk_
Great to have you on board [REDACTED USER]. Are you ready to kick us off with the first question #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] A1. Innovations means something that is a new and/or more efficient way to do certain things. In OT, that can mean a new technique or approach. In terms of our advocacy, it can means new platforms for students and practitioners to advocate for their profession. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
So for our first question #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Great response @BillWongOT do you have any examples you can share with us #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
That's innovation #OTalk. Everyone is welcome. Have fun
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ hmmm... when iPads first came out, the use of apps to work on handwriting related skills (e.g. Letter School, HWT app, etc.) #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
That's also interesting [REDACTED USER] again any examples to share #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@RJOTSeashell @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] @otalk Welcome Rachel @RJOTSeashell #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ of course... 3D printing has slowly played a bigger role in OT practice in recent years, as it is an emerging niche for some OT practitioners. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
And now we wonder how we would live without iPads in our lives @BillWongOT Great example #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] good question- I think it can go either way, because what might be ho hum in one country can be seen as new to another country, for example. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT Do you use 3D printing in practice @BillWongOT and if so what for ... just curious #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EllieOTforKids [REDACTED USER] yes- this made me think of me curating a TEDx event. It's not a new way of advocacy to the common folks because it has been around for 10+ years and there are various people took on this role. But for OT's, it was a new learning experience for the profession. #otalk
Beth Orford🌈 @bethorford
@OTalk_ @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] #OTalk I’m here
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ nope- but I know some OT programs are trying to equip OT students with knowledge about 3D printing to get an edge in today's workforce. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @Laura_Does: [REDACTED USER] #OTalk personally, innovation means problem-solving that reaches all the corners of a problem. A lot of new ide…
#OTalk @OTalk_
Some great examples here #OTalk. Shall we move to the next question [REDACTED USER]
Rach1 @Rachael92629132
#otalk Hello, when I hear innovation I think, something new, ground breaking which can make a positive change to the way a service or intervention is delivered! Novice but thought I’d try anyway 😀
#OTalk @OTalk_
Really interesting question, is anyone using 3D printing for splinting #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
#SmallChangeBigImpact Perfectly fitting for #otweek2019 #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thanks for sharing @RJOTSeashell #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
#OTalk @OTalk_
So how do we contribute to the generation of the evidence? You knew that question was coming #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
#OTalk @OTalk_
Now this is innovation #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @Laura_Does: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] ⬆️⬆️ Something Georgia is very skilled at - #OTalk people, you should read her blog :)
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I will join #wegohealthchat when I have time. It's a newer advocacy channel I found, as I had chats with disability advocates from various disabilities. I also recently joined in #actuallyautistic hashtag to get to know autism community better. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I'm getting left behind with all the excitement tonight! Question 2 How do you feel about innovation #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] I think this depends. If it's apps, I actually prefer to have more apps than less to choose from that does similar things (but with various difficulties for service users in navigating them). #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good answer [REDACTED USER] you make it sound easy #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @RJOTSeashell @OTalk_ @otalk and speaking of technology, it also impact how education is delivered. When online video conferencing was first introduced, it actually increased the pool of potential guest lecturers to choose from for academics. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] and same goes with the high tech toilets from Japan! It revolutionizes how people perform the toileting ADL! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Half way through folks #OTalk. Can we move on to question 3 [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] as long as the app is not too huge! I have an app that is a few GB in file size. That will be inaccessible for people who have phones w/ small capacities. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3 What are the limiting factors in developing an innovative workforce #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Funny you say that... I actually am working on diversifying my specialist mix! I got that because of the teaching bug. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just a gentle nudge to remind everyone to use #OTalk. We don't want to miss any of tonight's discussion @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Cost- in first world countries, we got to see a good bit of cool gadgets for OT interventions (e.g. industrial size 3D printer). But, do our colleagues in third world countries have access to them? Not necessarily. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] well- that was a gaming app that I have. So, I cheated... hehe! I play Hearthstone and the app is about 2-3 GB each time it has major updates. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and especially if I have desires to make a full transition. If I am stuck with autism, I actually will just be a one trick pony... because I can't just teach that alone in a pediatrics course! #otalk
Rach1 @Rachael92629132
#OTalk at times the most limiting factors depending on the service provision could be the policies and procedures which cannot be neglected!?

#OTalk @OTalk_
Q4 Do you have time to be innovative ? #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Rachael92629132 Yes- this is something I would think of if somebody were to ask me a question on what things I might like to change about getting students involved in OT associations at the uni I am teaching in. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] A4. Yes... I actually have made nuances here and there on my Twitter use over the years. I might still be a dinosaur in some aspects on social media, but I have adapted to today's times a bit also. #otalk https://t.co/qWJc3X5ARF
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] My students' reactions when they heard I am actually not as at home teaching physical disabilities lab. But, I made things look seemless usually. #otalk https://t.co/TfIwJEagzh
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] and I will say... amongst the OT's who have spoken at TEDx events, I probably am one of those who DO take advantage of realizing I can be an online influencer AFTER I spoke at these events. So, that's also an example of innovation. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
And for our final question of the night #OTalk. We have touched on it but how likely is your service/practice to adopt innovation [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] A5. This is TBD. I think if I go for a full time academia position, I will try to make some innovations to some of the courses that I am teaching and I am passionate about the subjects. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good question indeed @debbieduckie #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I think it should not be just an incentive for people in academia, but also people in clinical practice. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
How creative [REDACTED USER]. Can we do that [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ and speaking of time... we need to fight certain clinical settings that have strict policies about workplace productivity. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
5 minutes left folk #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
#OTalk @OTalk_
I know that feeling tonight 😂 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] take your time! Think of it like joining a dance and doing your own moves. #otalk https://t.co/TE9wfbazuT
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I did a stat about recent tweet flow. Actually #otalk is only a third as fast as some of the other Twitter chats I participated in recently.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sadly that's it folks. What a great chat everyone. Keep talking and check out the transcript in a few days. Enormous thanks to [REDACTED USER] for joining us tonight #OTalk
Rach1 @Rachael92629132
#otalk great discussion, learned a lot. Thank you.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I wonder if your uni is interested in me speaking about my TEDx curating experience, by the way! I think it will fit that class perfectly... although I also know students will give me this look often when they hear what I went through. #otalk https://t.co/7PeSS5hJZ4
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I am an 80's kid... but I didn't know much about healthcare stuff until I started OT school in 2009. Math and numbers were my thing for more than half my life so far (though this % is decreasing by the day). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Laura_Does @debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and also sacrifices. When I tried to pull of curating a TEDx event, 12 months went by quickly... especially because I work full time and had to juggle between 2 jobs during part of the experience. I am glad my well being is back! #otalk
god @SegunGTP
RT @OTalk_: Q4 Do you have time to be innovative ? #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] we can always do a Zoom or Skype presentation. #innovation. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Don't worry [REDACTED USER] it is much easier to follow the transcript. It was a very busy #OTalk tonight.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] The reason I emphasize curating word is- TEDx events have reputations of bringing communities together. The curator (aka license holder) is the boss of the whole operation. I had to educate my program director the difference as I was prepping my PDP portfolio this yr. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It was pretty hectic tonight [REDACTED USER] I’ll need to check out the transcript myself to really get a feel for the discussion #OTalk
💙Arty_OT💙 @ot_arty
@preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] I ended up missing it again, after all. Great that there is always the transcript though #OTalk
