Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk hello folks! | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety For me, primarily will be conferences- we have twice a year from US state associations and annually with AOTA. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I agree! I've found it difficult to know what to access as part of my CPD but the #OTalk discussions and the SHOUT talks have been really useful! | |
Meg @MegB95 I have been to an incredible amount of CPD events thanks to @DerbyOTsociety (My favourites being @Aerobility with @KaptainKevman and Community Mental health with @RamsellEleanor). I was also able to attend a conference on Cerebal palsy and a lecture with @BNightsCRPS #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety I particularly like the AOTA/NBCOT student conclave. Being a conference exclusively for students nationally in the USA was a huge benefit... and of course, I still keep in touch with some of the attendees today. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I'll try looking on Twitter! I agree with you about OT news, that's been a really great resource for me too! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team Agree with this too! I've found #OTalk so easy to engage with every week! | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @anyadei @DerbyOTsociety @UEAOTSoc @SPOTeurope @JonLarner haha... I know the USA equivalent will be ASD'ers. (ASD in this context will be Assembly of Student Delegates in AOTA). #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety It would be really useful to have a resource like that, although I did find the AOTA guidelines to be useful. #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety If I were a student today, I will also add TEDCircles to the list. It's an amazing opportunity to meet strangers across the globe. It's basically a live media club with TED or TEDx talk. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @LaurenemilyOT @DerbyOTsociety @HvA_Ergo I should do an inservice to them about TEDCircles. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety Yes I'm sure I do! I'll have a look and sent it over to you! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LaurenemilyOT: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaurenemilyOT @DerbyOTsociety and this is a common thing when you are on the other side being qualified too. Many are focusing on their careers first before thinking about getting involved in the profession later. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety I will also say- my exposure to conferences early on was what made me a conference junkie now. I feel sad that I won't attend anything live any time soon! #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety My lecturers have kept us up to date with external CPD opportunities, lots of additional training for practice, learning opportunities to apply in uni, tips for reflection and journal clubs! #OTalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @Laura_Does @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I have a long list of 'to do' reflections! Now that I'm finished exams I'm looking forw as rd to working through them! #OTalk | |
#OTalk @OTalk_ @Cass_OT__ @EllieDixon_OT @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @shout_team Definitely! It's most certainly a CPD activity #Otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @DerbyOTsociety @shout_team The student days are good times in practicing digging deep to participate in OT activities we SHOULD participate. I know I am an example of that now- by still getting involved in the TED community. Getting involved in that realm is extremely intense! #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ I have participated in 5 and hosted 1 already. So, I know the inside and out about this pretty much... this is one of the times that OT is on time with a relatively new community trend... lol! #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety With placements and other commitments, it can be quite difficult to fit other CPD opportunities in. I suppose it's about finding the right opportunities for you. For me, discussions like #OTalk are great and easy to fit in! | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety I definitely understand. I think I am showing you guys how it can be done! I am working full time (though in quarantine now because of COVID-19), actively involve in AOTA, and also actively involve in TED community on top of that. I know I make many people's heads spin! #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @anyadei @Katie_Moffat @Laura_Does @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I have a different to-do list. It is a CPD goals checklist, as well as a separate bucket list. Though the goals checklist items can also appear on the bucket list, too! #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety Definitely! I suppose that it's a good lesson in occupational balance! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ I tried one this month and I got supportive feedback. It can be a fun multidisciplinary mingle opportunity... as if there is a big group, you can always use breakout rooms to make sure everyone has a chance to participate in intimate conversation. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety Well- I have crossed over to the dark side... haha! Many people in the TEDx curating community are constantly having occupational balance issues! #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @Laura_Does @anyadei @Katie_Moffat @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team That's a good idea - I often need a while to process the event and think before I can start a written reflection! But I agree about not leaving it too long otherwise it can all be a bit hazy! #OTalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety I've found it quite manageable so far to access CPD opportunities. I tend to generate a list as time goes on, as throughout term time I prioritise my classes and assignments. Having time to fully dedicate to CPD can be difficult in term time. #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ the theme for this month is "life at its fullest". So, I picked a TEDx talk that I think would fit the theme, prepared discussion questions, and then facilitated. That took me 1-2 hours to prepare, and then 1-2 hours for the actual event. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @margaretOT360 That's true, sometimes I forget how much we are learning and taking in! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety @anyadei @Katie_Moffat @Laura_Does @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ @shout_team Yes- for example, in 2017, I crossed off the "OT conference slam" from my bucket list. What I mean by that is- attending AOTA, RCOT, CAOT, and OT Australia conference at least once. Another example- in 2015, I spoke at a TEDx event. That got crossed off as well. #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @Laura_Does @anyadei @GeorgiaVineOT @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I really like this idea! I tend to wait a bit before reflecting so I allow myself time to consider what happened and how i have learned from it/dealt with it. But really like the idea of doing that in three parts! thank you! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaurenemilyOT @DerbyOTsociety I second that. My first year felt like a blur! I only attend conferences per recommendation from my instructors. I did not know as many people in OT as I have now. #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @GeorgiaVineOT @Laura_Does @anyadei @DerbyOTsociety @OTalk_ @shout_team I'd say the absolutely are! I need to catch up with your last ones, but I've really enjoyed what I've read so far and you've offered a great perspective! #OTalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety Definitely! That's so relevant at the moment with many people working from home and trying to balance lots of different aspects of life! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaurenemilyOT @DerbyOTsociety Yup- mine is an extreme example, but in a good way! Who knew I am a multidimensional networker. I sure did not envision that back in my first year! #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ No- so how it works is this. The facilitator will pick the pre-existing TED or TEDx talk for the TEDCircle event. Best practice for online is- you should not tell your participants what you will show them, but you can prepare discussion questions before hand. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SPOTeurope Absolutely! Although it's crazy that our most expensive conferences are actually cheap relatively to TED ones for its organizers. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SPOTeurope and I think this pandemic sort of brings up this about conferences- do I want to pay for these now so that I can have experiences under my belt, or defer to my qualified days so that I can afford them later? #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety In first year I found it difficult, likely from lack of understanding, not knowing where to look, what was reputable. But growing in confidence and having the support of my lecturers has helped me seek out opportunities this year that have helped immensely! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ Right now, because I am a member of the TEDx curating community, so I have connections to people who are running them. But, you can always sign up to be a host on https://t.co/E3vGilljH8. There is an orientation for new hosts so that you know what you are supposed to do. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety I've found it difficult to know how to evidence CPD, what we've learnt and how it's made a difference to practice, does it always need to be through written reflection? Something that I find difficult but I am trying to work on! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety Yes- my uni does the same thing too. People would have to apply for scholarships to attend them. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ It feels a little bit like an exclusive club for now, because they haven't have a system on how the public can join these things. I know TED will work on this eventually. But, it's fun because I got to participate ones from China, Tunisia, and Poland. #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety Personally- I knew what a great resource twitter could be professionally, but was initially scared to make the jump of having a 'professional self' and how to go about being part of an online community. (Pleased to say I'm no longer scared and love the community spirit) #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety and I think it is important for prospective students to research that about the programs they are interested in. Some schools are bound by attendance policies... as students can only miss certain number of days per term. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @margaretOT360 Thankyou! Great ideas! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ yeah- and with the Tunisia group, they are planning to show my first TEDx talk as their TEDCircles content next month. They already invited me to join... as very rarely these circles will have the experience of meet and share thoughts with the original presenter. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DerbyOTsociety connect with current students and qualified professionals will be great idea to get head start. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Cass_OT__: | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety If you're not sure about a CPD opportunity- ask for advice! Join an online community to gain perspectives from outside your own university bubble. Engage with your university community, talk about interesting topics from classes over coffee. ASK QUESTIONS! #OTalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety I'll have to start branching out and trying some other models! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Cass_OT__ @DerbyOTsociety and also approach qualified OT's online with respect and professionalism. Get to know them to see if they can give you advices that can further your career when you are qualified. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @anyadei: | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JadeElizabethOT @DerbyOTsociety For sure, sometimes connections in OT can last a LONG time. You might be working alongside your heroes in certain OT projects down the line. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @anyadei @JadeElizabethOT @DerbyOTsociety and also discussion forums too. For example, the AOTA group I am in- Community of Leaders. We launched an asynchronous media club on leadership topics last month. Joining those discussions are also important. #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety Don't take for granted the knowledge of your lecturers, practice educators, and fellow students. Make conversation and engage with other people in and out of classes! You never know when an opportunity might appear! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JadeElizabethOT @DerbyOTsociety I see that during my time serving in AOTA Representative Assembly. Although I did not seek re-election last year, it was a great experience to work alongside peers I respect and admire. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Katie_Moffat: @DerbyOTsociety Don't take for granted the knowledge of your lecturers, practice educators, and fellow students. Make conversation and engage with other people in and out of classes! You never know when an opportunity might appear! #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Katie_Moffat @DerbyOTsociety For example, some people in OT who don't know me well might think I am more of a social media manager than an OT. But deep inside, I know I got a lot to offer to students and new grads in particular. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SPOTeurope: CPD gives you so much in terms of professional identity, character building, confidence. Advice: | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @SPOTeurope Definitely! I've felt more confident to engage with and look for more CPD opportunities now that I've begun to get involved with #OTalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SPOTeurope In the USA, I took on 2 new grads for @OTDiversity's Minority Mentorship program. Aside from our monthly check-in's, I added service learning component for both mentees, as they will work along side me in AOTA's Community of Leaders group. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety and don't be afraid to go international! I admit I stumbled into UK OT community by accident... as I got connected to an autistic OT practitioner from the UK 9 years ago! That sort of led to a whole host of international connections since! #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @DerbyOTsociety Thank you so much @DerbyOTsociety! This #OTalk has been really insightful! | |
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott Well done team @DerbyOTsociety hosting #OTalk tonight. I’ve lurked (didn’t want to cramp your style) https://t.co/Bvmj7yAQ1k | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @JadeElizabethOT @margaretOT360 @rcot and don't forget if you have access to instructors who have global reach, take advantage! I started locally, but began to think globally about 8 years ago when @sarah_bodell became my doctoral project advisor for my OTD in the USA. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ next week, TED will actually start a new podcast called TEDShorts. I think you will be interested in that too! #otalk | |
Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat Thank you @DerbyOTsociety for being brilliant hosts on @OTalk_ this evening! I'll be taking note of a lot of ideas from the CPD chat! #OTalk https://t.co/RLUQK0dnWw | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @JadeElizabethOT @margaretOT360 @rcot I know my students generally had this reaction when they realized I am a faculty, "This guy does a lot of international work. I don't know how he does it even though he is practicing for less than 10 years!" #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Rachel_SOT @Laura_Does @Cass_OT__ It's also one of the times where OT is on top of new trends. I found this out a few days ago when I received an email from TED to its present and former organizers... lol! #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ Actually, that's not the spotlight. When I told the TED community that I got positive for COVID-19, the support globally was amazing! I even got an email from TED/TEDx Community team saying that they are proud of me being a member of the TED community. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ and right now, I am signing up to be involved in the planning team for an online TEDxSalon event in Poland in 7 weeks. It will be an event made up of entirely musical performances and the organizing team consists of present and former TEDx organizers. #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ I know many people in OT land will be like, "Bill! How can be involved in such a global project outside of OT, especially given that what you do in OT should keep you occupied already?" #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Rachel_SOT @Laura_Does @Cass_OT__ I know my late mentor will faint had I told her this if she is still alive today. She will be like, "Bill... what you are doing is making my dreams look small! You are inspiring me to up my game!" #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ I think I am setting a very high bar for whoever is coming after me in OT to get involved in the TEDx curating world. The person who will take the baton from me got to be a juggernaut! #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ I bet whoever wants to follow my footsteps in this will ask me, "What is life like on that side?" I will just say, "Well... be prepared for constant episodes of occupational imbalance. Doing this will feel like you are working in a high-stress part time job for free." #otalk | |
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Laura_Does @Rachel_SOT @Cass_OT__ That's why I am not taking the lead any more whenever I am involved in that front. I rather play the role of a good sidekick/role player. That said, a role player in that realm is STILL a lot of work. #otalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT @Laura_Does @DerbyOTsociety Thanks for these Laura! They're really great ideas, I've got lots to explore! #OTalk | |
Ellie Dixon @EllieDixon_OT Thanks @DerbyOTsociety for a really useful #OTalk about CPD! Here's some guidance around CPD ideas that I've found really helpful, I hope others will find it just as useful! https://t.co/gEQb3x5PKJ | |
