![]() Since Generation X are adaptable and generally amenable to change, many employers find that they are great employees to have around during turbulent times when conditions might change regularly. They value diversity and work well in creative work environments that allow them to work hard but have fun at work, too. Like millennials, Generation X tend to be flexible and adapt very well to change. Generation X are also the last generation to have entered the workforce before the transition from analogue to digital, which means that they may be equipped with older but still valuable skills that are not taught as widely today. They are very capable of learning new systems and technological programs. For example, Generation X were at the forefront of the development of mobile phones, personal computers and the Internet. ![]() ![]() Be technologically adeptĪlthough they're not digital natives like millennials and Generation Z, Generation X have lived through a lot of major technological advances and are, therefore, generally comfortable with technology. In many cases results in strong time-management and problem-solving skills, which are very valuable in the workplace. However, they do value work-life balance and don't like to take their work home with them. This doesn't mean that Generation X aren't committed to their jobs or don't work hard. Value work-life balanceīecause Generation X experienced economic hardship during the 1980s and 1990s, they may be less devoted to their employers than their baby boomer parents or millennial children. In the workplace, Generation X are able to work well autonomously and to overcome challenges on their own. As a general rule, this means that Generation X tend to be very independent and resourceful. Sometimes known as the 'latchkey generation', Generation X generally grew up with two working parents, which means they had less adult supervision in their childhood than older people. Related: All About Generation Z What are the key characteristics of Generation X in the workplace?Īlthough everyone is different and no one can be entirely defined by the generation they belong to, generations do tend to share certain traits due to significant events that happened when they were children or during their formative young adult years. The other generation who are now beginning to enter the workforce are Generation Z, who were born between the late 1990s and 2010. Generation X are preceded by the baby boomers, who were born in the 1950s and 1960s, followed by millennials or Generation Y, who were born between 1980 and the late 1990s. This means that as of 2021, most of Generation X are in their 40s and 50s and make up a significant proportion of the current workforce. Generation X, also known as Gen X or Gen Xers, were born between the late 1960s and early 1980s. What are the characteristics of Generation X, and who are they? In this article, we share 9 key characteristics of Generation X and some tips on how best to work with your Generation X colleagues. They currently make up a significant portion of the workforce, so understanding the key characteristics many of this generation share can help you to understand certain dynamics at work. Generation X is usually defined as the generation born between the end of the 1960s and the early 1980s. ![]() There’s not much that can be said about them now, but it probably won’t be long before Gen Alpha are hitting the headlines as much as millennials are today.Since there are currently several generations active in the workforce, it's important to understand the different characteristics of each generation and how they apply to work. “They are going into a whole new world where we’re not labelling as much - we’re not saying ‘they’re female and they’re male’, ‘they’re black and they’re white’, ‘they’re gay and they’re not’… it’s becoming more of an open society.” She also thinks this might be a generation where these labels start to lose some of their usefulness, adding: Whilst not specialising in this group, Dr Abramson predicts they’ll be family-oriented (as their parents will be Gen X and millennials, who she says are very engaged as parents) and more digitally savvy than any generation that comes before them. They are young (the first will have been born in 2010) but they will eventually become a very large cohort in their own right. And soon, new kids will be on the scene: the next generation has been dubbed Generation Alpha by social researcher Mark McCrindle. ![]() ![]() You could also add extra legs to a spider ( or this dancing crab) by using more Technic beams.īe aware though, it’s not compatible with the sensors, motors or hubs from other Lego kits, including Power Functions, Mindstorms, Boost or Spike. For Liam’s Christmas Tree project, he wanted all red and green blocks, so pulled out everything he could find in the right colour. That makes it very easy when you want to add extra features. Compatibility with other Lego productsĪs you would expect, Lego WeDo 2.0 is compatible with all the standard Lego and Lego Technic bricks. Liam prefers coding on the Lego WeDo app, because it’s easy with the pictures, but his grandma gets involved as well and prefers to code in Scratch. We’ve tried coding Lego WeDo 2.0 with both Scratch and the Lego WeDo app, and had lots of success with both platforms. The structured classes with Bricks 4 Kidz have given him a great foundation, and his creativity has taken him the rest of the way. ![]() Over the last 6 months, Liam has learned a huge amount about gears, coding and design. With a bit of practice, he started creating his own. Liam took inspiration from Yoshihito Isogawa, Mi 2 Tom, and other creators he found on YouTube. As a result, we haven’t done many of the tutorials in the Lego WeDo app, but skipped straight to the ambitious stuff. Liam’s not particularly strong at following instructions, and always wants to skip ahead. We started by getting just the smarthub, motor and sensors individually, and using them with our existing Lego at home. He loved his classes, but wanted to do more work with WeDo outside of class. Every week Liam built a new project, often an animal or a vehicle. Until he started there, we hadn’t even heard of this kit. Liam is in the second level of classes, where they use Lego WeDo 2.0. That has been such a great piece of luck! The weekend classes are tiny, so he gets to work one-on-one with a teacher and push the limits of the project. So we found out that they were also running classes at the local library on Saturday mornings. It booked out within a few hours, and Liam was really sad about missing out. Bricks 4 Kidz began running some after school classes at his school in mid-2021. He has loved Lego for years, and been getting really interested in building and coding his other robots. Then reopen the WeDo 2.0 App and try connecting to the Smarthub once again.Liam has been using Lego WeDo 2.0 for around 6 months. Restart the Chromebook by turning it off and on. Reopen the WeDo 2.0 App and check if the Smarthub appears in the device list. Then click ‘Manage Devices’ below the ‘Enable Bluetooth’ icon button and delete all devices by hovering over each and clicking ‘X’. ![]() ![]() If the Smarthub still does not appear in the WeDo 2.0 Connection window, close WeDo 2.0 and any other programs that may be open. Restart Bluetooth by unchecking ‘Enable Bluetooth’, wait two seconds and then re-enable it. Then click the reload icon in the WeDo 2.0 Connection window. If the Bluetooth status is disabled, click the ‘Enable Bluetooth’ icon button. ![]() If none of the following steps help, contact your local Consumer Service (visit our website for contact details):Įnsure that Bluetooth is enabled by clicking the Wi-Fi icon in the status area of the taskbar. If at any point the connection is successful, there is no need to complete the remaining steps. Q: What can be done if the Smarthub does not appear in the Connection window?Ī: If you don’t see a Smarthub in the Connection window, please follow the steps below. Now long press on the connected Smarthub and enter the new name. Next, press the green button on the Smarthub and then press on the Smarthub in the Connection window to connect to it. To rename a Smarthub, access the Connection Center from the app. Since it is not possible to highlight which hub are yours we recommend physically labeling and then renaming each Smarthub in the app before starting a class. Press the green button on the WeDo 2.0 hub. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scroll of Dark Magic, different color version + When moving to a different room, dodge one attack Special Active: Deals damage and stun all enemy on screenĭamage 2-4, Attack per sec 9.09.

Next, cut a piece of yarn just a little bit longer than the circumference of the pom pom maker. Make sure you keep the pom pom maker closed so you don’t loose all that yarn! Once the first side is full, string your yarn across to the other side and wrap.įold the sides in together and trim through the center ‘trough’ to cut the yarn.

Spreadsheets have their purposes, and they have been and still are an integral part of the financial world. Spreadsheets are a popular way to reduce paper tracking methods that still aren't as new or modern as dedicated, automated expense management apps. This outdated way to manage expenses typically resembled employees gathering and collecting paper receipts and submitting them to the accounting department for approval every month or quarter. Types of expense managementĬompanies have tracked and managed expenses in many ways: Whether talking about employees or accounting and finance teams, these expense management issues affect both employees and accounting or finance departments. Until the last few decades, traditional expense management involved piles upon piles of paper and physical receipts, hundreds of excel spreadsheets, emails, and time wasted chasing down the correct information to validate expense reports. These features help you understand a business’s or client’s spending habits and obtain accurate financial records, saving you time and money to focus on your business or advising your client. Expense tracker apps sync to your credit cards (whether personal cards, charge cards, corporate/business cards, etc.) and bank accounts and categorize your expenses.
