Duration: 60 Minutes
[00:00:00.000]
Okay, take it.

[00:00:06.000]
Okay, welcome everyone. We are happy to be here with you today to kind of highlight some of the new Gale, welcome everyone.

[00:00:14.000]
We are happy to be here with you today to kind of highlight some of the new Gale tools, resources that we have for you added to the Utah's Online School Library.

[00:00:15.000]
My name is Davina Southoff. I am the library media specialist for the Utah State Board of Education.

[00:00:25.000]
And with me today is Kayla Towner. I'll let her introduce herself for just a minute.

[00:00:31.000]
Yes, hi. I'm Kayla Towner. I am a technology specialist and product manager of Utah's Online School Library at UVM.

[00:00:40.000]
Awesome. Yeah.

[00:00:41.000]
So very excited to be here and chat. So I'll let you go to Vina.

[00:00:44.000]
Yeah, and we'll be turning the time over to Tammi, our senior Gale trainer here in just a minute.

[00:00:50.000]
But before we get started, Kayla and I just wanted to talk a little bit about what we're most excited about these resources.

[00:00:56.000]
So I'm going to just talk quickly about National Geographic kids. So this is a new resource that we haven't had at least as far as I know in the last few years.

[00:01:05.000]
And I'm really excited. It says, National Grid geographic kid says it looks like it's up to 14, but as I look through those resources, I really think that it can be used throughout middle school and secondary.

[00:01:13.000]
This really bright images I think there was over like a thousand images or something like that and videos that are like less than 5 min so that you can do like a quick spotlight or highlight of something that kids are learning.

[00:01:31.000]
And just, I mean, the one I'm looking at right now is literally looks like a beating heart.

[00:01:36.000]
It's so real. So I'm really excited that we are able to share those resources with you.

[00:01:41.000]
I don't know how much we'll cover about that today, but I'm pretty sure we'll cover them in the elementary session tomorrow.

[00:01:47.000]
So we encourage you to join us back then as well. Kayla, what's your favorite excitement thing about our resources that we're sharing today?

[00:01:53.000]
Okay. Well, I'm actually very excited about the return of some of the databases such as Gale In Context Biography, also the high school and then even the ebooks coming back just because you know what supporting those secondary teachers helping their students find certain types of articles or academic journals and things like that, having a separate data, but database helps, helps them with finding those right research results because sometimes

[00:02:21.000]
it's can be too broad and I'm sure Cam is gonna go over that today a bit.

[00:02:25.000]
The difference is for that, but I think that will definitely help librarians and secondary teachers. And also just a little so everyone knows Utah's online school library like Reels I do.

[00:02:36.000]
I did some highlights on G on context biography and National Geographic kids that will come out in the month of January.

[00:02:42.000]
So if you're like, hey, I just wanna quick like 1 min or those will be coming out to help support you and get you excited about checking out these new databases.

[00:02:52.000]
That's awesome. And those videos are really great and a lot of information a short period of time doesn't take up too much.

[00:02:58.000]
You can be in the doctor's office with your headphones in and watch a quick quick real and it's really informative.

[00:03:03.000]
So we're gonna go ahead and get started. We, Taylor and I just wanted to introduce ourselves and let you know that we're here to support you as you go into using these tools and resources and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

[00:03:14.000]
And Tammi, I will let you take it away.

[00:03:19.000]
Great, thank you so much. I love to hear what you all are excited about. Do I was about to pivot there for a second, but I thought, no, I better stick with the plan of secondary because that geo kids is one of my favorites.

[00:03:29.000]
Yeah.

[00:03:31.000]
So hello, everyone, and thank you for having me today. I am Tammi Burke. I am one of the senior trainers at Gale and I am your trainer so I support Utah and a lot of other states across the US and I'm excited to talk to you about your new resources that you have available.

[00:03:47.000]
We are going to review a few of the resources too in the process. We do have an hour together so I have a lot to cover in that amount of time and want to make sure we are able to answer any questions.

[00:03:56.000]
That you may have. I am going to stop the video so that we get a nice clean recording, otherwise our images will end up blocking the tools in the right hand corners.

[00:04:06.000]
So let me stop that video and we already started the recording. So you will be able to have this recording.

[00:04:12.000]
There'll be a follow-up email that you'll receive and a link to where you can locate this recording.

[00:04:18.000]
So you'll have access to it. We are also going to add in chapters. So if you want to quickly jump to let's say the Gale In context global issues, we can do that.

[00:04:29.000]
You'll be able to do that in that recording. So I'm going to set that all up for you and it takes about 24 h before you receive that email.

[00:04:37.000]
Within that email, not only will you find a link to where you can locate the recording, but they'll also be a few of other helpful links, including one to the Gale support site, which has all kinds of great materials, training materials ready to go student activities connected to all of your resources.

[00:04:51.000]
We have our version of Reels, probably not as much fun as Calais, but we do have short video tutorials that are available.

[00:04:58.000]
On that support site too. And I'll cover that at the end of our session. I just wanted to mention it here at the start so you know that to watch for that follow-up email.

[00:05:11.000]
So today we are talking about your new secondary resources and as we get started I have pull and it's been a second since I've launched my polls and I'm not seeing my option here.

[00:05:22.000]
So let's just do it the simple way in the Q&A box. Could you let me know what type of library you're coming from?

[00:05:34.000]
So which which level of students you work with? Is it middle school? Are you working with high school?

[00:05:39.000]
Oh, there it is. It's just thank you. Somebody launched it for me. Thank you for launching it.

[00:05:44.000]
I don't know why I can't see the that option there. It must have given the controls to someone else that I made a co-host.

[00:05:51.000]
Okay, so we have some middle school.

[00:05:54.000]
And then the second question is there too, which world do you play in the district?

[00:06:00.000]
Okay, so no teachers on the line today. That's that's good to know. But what I will be sharing with you is also best.

[00:06:03.000]
Practices that you can share with your teachers. I'm going to end that poll. Thank you all for participating in our poll today.

[00:06:14.000]
And thank you, Kayla Davina. For launching that for me. Good to know moving forward.

[00:06:19.000]
Okay, so hopefully you can see that poll. I'm going to stop sharing it now just so you can see both of the answers there.

[00:06:29.000]
So we have a lot of librarians and media specialists on the line. We have other. Which I hate to use other because I always fall in the other category, but I really Couldn't come up with another option today.

[00:06:42.000]
So anyhow, if you would like to share your specific role, please feel free to put that in the Q&A.

[00:06:48.000]
We'd be happy to we'd love to see who all we have on the line today. And it does help me as I go through the session to cover everything to make sure that you all are getting the most out of this training today.

[00:06:58.000]
And we are again focusing on your new resources that you have available. We are going to do a quick review of your current collection.

[00:07:05.000]
I'm going to do that in the PowerPoint and hopefully we'll have some time to touch into a couple of them since we have middle middle school folks on the line today.

[00:07:12.000]
We are going to focus on content search options and features within the Gale resources. And I will be sharing with you throughout today's training best practices for classroom integration of these scale resources.

[00:07:26.000]
Any questions, please feel free to use that Q&A box at any time. I see we've got curriculum director and instructional coach.

[00:07:33.000]
And that, Dana, you were on the list. That was one of the ones I was going to put on there.

[00:07:37.000]
ELA specialists. Perfect. Thank you guys so much for putting that in the Q&A.

[00:07:42.000]
I'm gonna put those out there so everybody else can see too.

[00:07:47.000]
Excellent. So our agenda today is access and overview of Gale resources. We're going to spend the majority of our time browsing through those resources and touching on the features and tools that are available.

[00:07:58.000]
And then any questions that you have, again, please feel free to put that in the Q&A box.

[00:07:59.000]
I will leave you at the end with additional contact information. You have one-on-one support at Gale, but the way that you all are set up for access and let me go into that now, you are going to go to Davina, Kayla, your folks at the Utah's Online School Library if you need support because they have you going to one link.

[00:08:24.000]
So that you can access all of your resources in this beautiful site. It's organized for everyone. So it's an easy point of access.

[00:08:27.000]
Once you log in with your access information there. Then you no longer need to authenticate moving forward. So your your users or your students are accessing at the middle school level, they're clicking into that middle school icon.

[00:08:47.000]
Then they are taken right into the resources. They're they're not going to be prompted for an additional authentication going into your gale resources.

[00:08:56.000]
So it keeps it really nice for them to just access right away. So if they click on that middle school and explore, then they will get their nice beautiful list of guilt or I should say all of your resources including the Gale ones and then be able to directly access that resource.

[00:09:14.000]
So, Gale, New Gale Resources for Secondary, I want to talk about these first.

[00:09:15.000]
You now have access to our the third and our what we call our building black series. So you have Gale In context elementary, you have Gale in context middle school and now you have Gale In context high school.

[00:09:24.000]
Cross-curricular, general reference, you're going to find a little bit of everything available in Gale In Context High School across all subject areas.

[00:09:39.000]
So you're going to also find oops trusted reference content top periodicals, videos, images, audio files, primary sources, creative works, statistics, all available in this resource to support curriculum standards, you'll find frequently studied topics and history and social studies, science, health, literature, and the arts.

[00:09:59.000]
And then to enhance teaching and learning, we have our Google and Microsoft integration. Unlimited print download and email is available and also highlights and notes which is one of our great features that is available within your Gale resources and so much more available.

[00:10:09.000]
And I'm going to talk to you about those features today. The second new resource that you have, for secondary, is Gale In Context Global Issues.

[00:10:24.000]
Gale In contact global issues. Again, this one is if you you already have opposing viewpoints, which is more of a US.

[00:10:33.000]
Point of view, looking at hot topics, social issues, controversial issues, global issues is a global view.

[00:10:34.000]
So now you have both of them and actually both of these resources you can cross search. At the same time and I'll model that for you today.

[00:10:42.000]
So you can get both of that more of a US viewpoint. Now I can't say opposing viewpoints is solely US because we are a global company and you're going to get a lot of us because we are a global company and you're going to get a lot of especially our periodical content.

[00:10:59.000]
We work with great publications. We publish a lot of our own content, but we work with great publishers too.

[00:11:04.000]
So you're going to get some of those global from magazines and newspapers still in opposing viewpoints but The global issues is more of that global view.

[00:11:14.000]
So a world looking at the world and things that are happening around the world. It's a great resource for that.

[00:11:19.000]
Same types of content. You're going to find in here. With the audio multimedia and periodicals and primary sources, curriculum studies, and then we have that same integration because it is across all of your Gale resources.

[00:11:35.000]
To review some of your gale resources. And to touch on National Geographic Kids and something I want to say about National Geographic Kids.

[00:11:44.000]
Davina mentioned it. We have a saying here at Gale. We actually adopted it from our contact in Texas because she says it all the time.

[00:11:52.000]
But we always think we feel that really no one is too old for national geographic kids. The content there, the images, the videos that you're going to find.

[00:11:56.000]
Now are the reading materials might be more, you know, it's designed for our kindergarten through fifth grade students, but our middle schoolers enjoy it.

[00:12:05.000]
So there's books and there's magazines, but really can a high school student use one of those images in their in their project or in their paper or presentation?

[00:12:17.000]
Absolutely. So that resource is available. And again, we always say you're never too old for National Geographic kids.

[00:12:18.000]
The content there. It's, I mean, it's National Geographic, you know, it's just such great content you have available.

[00:12:29.000]
So what I want to do is review some of them. As I mentioned, you have the 3 building blocks.

[00:12:34.000]
Elementary, middle, and high school. And these are all cross-curricular. Global issues is your new resource and then opposing viewpoints you have these you can cross search through at the same time if you would like to do that.

[00:12:47.000]
Gale In context, science covering all of those science topics, you're also going to find great simulations here.

[00:12:53.000]
I'm not sure if you're familiar that you have access to those simulations, but they are available in Gale In Context Science.

[00:13:00.000]
Gale In Context biography, talk about a breadth of information. You have over 5,000 topic pages available here.

[00:13:07.000]
And this is historical to contemporary. You're going to find so much content available when you're talking about literature, you're talking about the environment, you're going to have the great biographical information, you're going to have the great biographical information.

[00:13:20.000]
I mean, this is one that Kayla's are going to have the great biographical information.

[00:13:21.000]
And this is one that Kayla is really excited about. You also have your Gale one file in Gale one file new.

[00:13:24.000]
So high school edition and news are both available. These are periodical resources. So if you're looking for more of that periodical content, magazines, newspapers, academic journals, geared towards high schoolers, then I would definitely suggest them accessing Gale One File High School Edition and this is great for like I said periodical so current events that type of information now will you find some of that

[00:13:54.000]
periodical content in Gale In Context High School? Yes, there might be some overlap with some of the publications, but if you're looking again for periodicals, high school addition is going to have a great amount of that type of content where Gale In Context High School will have some periodicals, also multimedia.

[00:14:14.000]
It's organized by topic pages. So it's going to look and feel a little differently. One File News is focusing strictly on our newspapers.

[00:14:22.000]
And then I already talked about National Geographic kids and you actually also have a few new And I added these little things, few new titles available in Gale ebooks and Gale ebooks.

[00:14:36.000]
Is a collection that has been purchased for you from our Utah Online School Library folks. They've hand selected and we've added some media literacy titles.

[00:14:45.000]
Have been added to the Gale ebooks platform. So you'll find them available there. Today we are going to focus on high school and global issues.

[00:14:56.000]
A few tools and features I want to hopefully review with you but if you're new to this then I'm that's why I'm covering it today in our PowerPoint and I will model it for you.

[00:15:08.000]
Discovering content can be very easy in your in context resources with topic pages. You have topic pages that can help your users drill down looking at a subject category.

[00:15:18.000]
They can select that subject category and then click into that topic page, which is curated collection of information.

[00:15:26.000]
That can be shared using get link. You can pull these into Google Classroom if you're using Google Classroom if you're using at Canvas or Schoology you can use the get link tool and pull the entire topic page directly into your learning management system.

[00:15:42.000]
If you're interested in finding out more about learning management systems and how to embed content, that is a conversation that we can have.

[00:15:50.000]
I can share with you on the training site where there's additional information about that. So, but just know that those tools are available within the resource to share content with students.

[00:16:02.000]
Talking about sharing content. You have the ability to create a assignments and pull content topic pages as I mentioned right into Google Classroom, which is that the top of your resources.

[00:16:15.000]
You can use the get link tool which creates persistent URLs and take your users back to any spot within the resource could be a topic page could be you filter down content by reading level.

[00:16:27.000]
Or or, and you want to share this with students or directly to an article. Or you can send documents and your and your students and users can do this to send documents, audio files, images directly to Google or Microsoft Onedrive.

[00:16:41.000]
We also have download and email options available.

[00:16:47.000]
To meet the varying needs of your students, you are going to find these great tools to support accessibility.

[00:16:53.000]
We have the translate feature which translates the documents into over 40 languages. We have the ability to increase or decrease the font size.

[00:17:04.000]
The display options for document customization is available. We even have the open dyslexic font.

[00:17:11.000]
You can change the color. Behind the text and I'll model that for you today. And also our text to speech or a listen button is available where students can listen to the text being read aloud to them.

[00:17:24.000]
The nice thing is with translate, we're at over 40 languages here. If your students have translated the text and then click the listen button.

[00:17:34.000]
We are at 24 languages here and these are the ones that are the most used. So let's say they've translated into Spanish and then click that listen feature.

[00:17:42.000]
They can listen to the text being read aloud to them in Spanish.

[00:17:48.000]
To help our students grow their information literacy skills highlights and notes. This is one of my favorite tools that you have available in your Gale resources.

[00:17:56.000]
You can select and highlight text. And what will happen is, is it'll, you can mark up a document, you can send that marked up document directly to Microsoft.

[00:18:04.000]
Or Google. Or Microsoft or, yeah, Google Drive. Sorry, I usually say the other way around.

[00:18:07.000]
And you can say, save that marked up document. You can also just save the highlights and notes. And I'm gonna model this for you today.

[00:18:21.000]
So this is, I like to call them digital notes within the resources. And that's an area within the resource that's being built out as your users are working through and looking at those documents.

[00:18:31.000]
So this is at the document level. We also have the define button. So if a student is struggling with a term, they can highlight it and a page out of the Webster's dictionary appears in helps them with that term.

[00:18:48.000]
To filter content, we have different content types, or I should say content levels available as they, that they're related to Lexile measures and you can do this in your filter box that you have access to once you look at your search results.

[00:19:05.000]
You can see here, if you remember, it's really easy. We have one through 5, if you remember, level 3 is generally middle school.

[00:19:09.000]
Everything below that is generally elementary. Everything above is high school. All the way up to undergrad.

[00:19:17.000]
It keeps it simple. So that blue level 3 is middle school and then we have the 5 total there available.

[00:19:25.000]
And then one of my favorite search options, if you haven't used Topic Finder, I highly suggest it is Topic Finder.

[00:19:32.000]
This is a visual interactive tool. That's a available in your Gale resources. The only resource that's not available in is Gale In context elementary.

[00:19:40.000]
It's a little bit higher level skill. We have heard talks that that may be incorporated at some point, but as of right now I don't have any insight information on that.

[00:19:51.000]
I wish I did. We've been asking, but right now it is available in your other gale resources, just not available in elementary just yet.

[00:20:01.000]
All right, so with that, let's jump into our resources and I am going to, let's see, we're at.

[00:20:07.000]
20 after so let me I'm going to start with a brief review because we do have a good more good portion of middle school folks here.

[00:20:15.000]
I just want to touch on a couple items and then I'm going to dive into your 2 new resources.

[00:20:16.000]
So I wanted to start with the new, but I don't want to leave our middle school folks out.

[00:20:24.000]
So just a few things I want to point out and just remember all of these tools and features I'm covering in middle school are also available in your other Gale resources.

[00:20:32.000]
So I'm going to touch into a few of those tools and features and then keep moving through the resources so that everybody is able to see everything that you have.

[00:20:41.000]
Access to, especially those new resources. So for middle school, a few things I want to point out, I did already sign into Google.

[00:20:50.000]
Microsoft is also available here. I am set up as a teacher so it automatically signs me into Google Classroom.

[00:20:55.000]
I do have the ability to translate. The navigational tool. So the platform itself, we're at We're at 34 languages here.

[00:21:07.000]
32 languages here. They keep adding, but I think we're right around that 30 mark, 34, I think is the magic number.

[00:21:15.000]
But you can translate the navigational tools. Which will help your users walk through or work through the site.

[00:21:24.000]
You have of course basic and advanced search. We will touch into advanced search in one of our other resources.

[00:21:30.000]
Topics of interest are scrolling here on the top of the page. And those are changed once a month.

[00:21:35.000]
Below that we have subject categories with these icons available. Now this is a great resource for middle school because we start them with these icons for each subject category.

[00:21:42.000]
But then when we move into high school, you're going to see more text on the page. These still lead our students to topic pages and you can see we have they can browse all the topic pages here if they choose to.

[00:21:58.000]
I'll touch into one in just a moment, but before I do, I want to point out these items on the bottom.

[00:21:59.000]
Topic Finders available in a multitude of places and I'm going to share that used to just live under advanced search and now it's available here on the homepage and I'll talk to you about where it lives in other spots like when you are in your search results.

[00:22:15.000]
Of course it always lives under advanced search. It's still there. We also have the ability to search by curriculum standards.

[00:22:22.000]
So if you have teachers that are looking to. Connect content available in their Gale resources to curriculum standards.

[00:22:31.000]
We have both national and state standards available here. Educator resources are going to be some support materials, you're going to find a link directly to everything that we have available in for Gale In context middle school and the training site.

[00:22:46.000]
It all lives here in the educator resources so your teachers don't have to go outside of the resource.

[00:22:47.000]
To the support site they can find that link there. So I am going to go into, let me do a search because.

[00:22:59.000]
I have a certain topic I want to jump into and I want to show you something. So if I start to write, type in civil rights.

[00:23:06.000]
Search Assist pops up and all of these that are listed at the top that are bolded This is telling me that I have topic pages available for each of these subjects.

[00:23:16.000]
So I can quickly jump to civil rights movement. And this is my topic page where I have an image and an essay overview.

[00:23:24.000]
I have all of my content types that live in the middle of my page. I have the ability to search within the results and then below everything is organized in these nice buckets or boxes.

[00:23:35.000]
And you can see the different content types we have available. So we have some primary sources, some creative works, audio files, video news.

[00:23:43.000]
Of course we have great multimedia, some biographies here. Nothing compared to a Gale In context biography, but we do have biographies.

[00:23:51.000]
Again, remember this is cross-curricular, so you get a little bit of everything in your middle school and high school resources.

[00:23:58.000]
At the very bottom of the page, I want to point out an item that some folks don't always see, but you have related topic pages.

[00:24:00.000]
So point this out to students that they can come down to the bottom of the page and find additional content.

[00:24:04.000]
While they are doing their research and pull that additional content into their projects. Let me know if there are any questions that you might have.

[00:24:18.000]
Few things I want to point out for middle schoolers. When I click into My essay overview, I want to point out in the upper left hand corner and you'll see this in your other in context.

[00:24:30.000]
Resources too, especially in elementary. Reading levels. You have the ability to change the reading level.

[00:24:33.000]
So if I wanted to change this, I'm at at 1130 if I wanted to change it to a 9 10 I can do that in real time and it'll change the text on the page.

[00:24:42.000]
A lot of times too what you'll find with our essay overviews. Is that we do have some great text features.

[00:24:53.000]
We might find you might find fast facts, timelines, sometimes we have critical thinking questions that'll be incorporated.

[00:25:01.000]
I'm going to show you where those are at in the high school resource words to know. So vocabulary, we see a lot at the middle school and this also applies to our Gale In context elementary too.

[00:25:12.000]
Okay, let me go back to that topic. Page. I'm going to do a quick filter and then we are going to jump into one of your new resources and that is high school.

[00:25:22.000]
So if I wanted to filter down my content, let me go into reference here. On the right hand side, this is where I can filter my results.

[00:25:31.000]
Now, a few things. I had mentioned Topic Finder on the homepage. If I wanted to pull just.

[00:25:37.000]
This topic page of search results in the topic finder. I have that option here. Below my results box or filter your results box and then also lives in my contextual toolbar.

[00:25:48.000]
My toolbar will change depending on where I'm at within the resource. It'll give me the exact tools that I need.

[00:25:54.000]
Now if I were to click on it here, it's going to pull in all of this content into that visual.

[00:26:01.000]
So that's both options are there. But in this resource, I wanted to share with you how I can filter my results and how I can share that with my students.

[00:26:10.000]
So let's say my content levels, I want to make sure that I have level threes, but I also want level fours because I want some challenges for my students.

[00:26:16.000]
But I want to make sure that maybe I don't have any level and you will see some level 5 show up in middle school.

[00:26:25.000]
We know that I know my own children were very high readers and that they needed that challenge in middle school.

[00:26:27.000]
So I'm thankful that it is available here, but majority of your content is going to be at that level 3 and some level for but I do want to mention you might have some fives and you may find some twos available too but primarily it's going to be in this range.

[00:26:46.000]
So I want to apply that to all of my content. Then I want to share that with my students.

[00:26:52.000]
I can use the get link tool which creates a persistent URL back to this spot. I can pull this into Google Classroom.

[00:27:04.000]
And let me see if it's sharing. Doesn't always share my Google classroom, but I just want to share this with you real quick where I can choose my class.

[00:27:15.000]
I can choose my action. So all of the actions are there. Maybe I want to create an assignment.

[00:27:21.000]
I'll do make an announcement. That once quicker, click go. I can add in whatever information I want for my students and then when I post it

[00:27:33.000]
I get the option to view. So let me go back to sharing my screen because what will happen is

[00:27:45.000]
It takes me directly into my class. Here is. My post. So it immediately posts directly to my Google classroom, right from within the resource.

[00:27:49.000]
So it makes it really simple to share content with students. So just wanted to share that before we go into the next resource.

[00:28:04.000]
Let me know if there are any questions on our middle school resource. Just that was our review. If we have any time, there's a few others I want to review, but let's jump into Gale In Context High School.

[00:28:15.000]
And I do have it open here.

[00:28:19.000]
Okay, so Gale In Context High School cross-curricular general reference as you can see on the homepage looks very similar to middle school the difference.

[00:28:24.000]
The banner is always going to change. So each of our individual resources has its own banner. So it looks a little different, but yet tools and features are in the same place, so it keeps it simple for the students because they know when they're in a gale resource they'll find everything in the same location.

[00:28:45.000]
We have those scrolling images and then we have the topic categories below. Now we don't have images because this is a high school product.

[00:28:54.000]
You can see we're at the beginning of the month and our content editors have been working hard.

[00:28:56.000]
They have been updating so all of these orange tags you can either see it's updated content and that means the image and essay overview have been updated.

[00:29:05.000]
Everything else on the topic page is being updated throughout the day every day. So a new contents available where it's always being added, which is nice because if you share a topic page, a link, let's say you use get link to one of the topic pages and you're sharing that content as I did in the middle school resource.

[00:29:26.000]
That link will never change, but the content will continueously be updated. So it's a great feature.

[00:29:30.000]
To have because it's not static. You're always going to get that new up-to-date information and your teachers won't have to do anything on there and they use that link they can use it again and again.

[00:29:42.000]
And use it next year if they want to and that new content will automatically be waiting for them and they don't really need to do anything else on their end.

[00:29:50.000]
So it keeps it simple form. Homepage looks very similar where you have the information here at the bottom with topic.

[00:29:55.000]
Finder, curriculum standards and educator resources. So let's do, let's look at topic pages and I'm going to go through a category this time.

[00:30:05.000]
Let's go into history.

[00:30:10.000]
And let me make sure. So you can see here as I scroll down, I want to show you all of the topic pages that you have.

[00:30:18.000]
They are alphabetical order. You can see I can click into any of these topic pages and then in it's quite a list here that we have available and find exactly what.

[00:30:31.000]
I'm looking for. Now I want to go into the jazz age.

[00:30:38.000]
And again I have that image and essay overview. I click read more. What I want to point out to you with the essay overview and with all of our articles is the Explorer Panel.

[00:30:51.000]
Now the Explorer panel provides you with, so let's say our students have and this one happens to have those critical thinking questions I mentioned, anything published by Gale, we started adding them late, 2,017.

[00:31:03.000]
So when you see that it's been published by Gale, you're going to find those critical thinking questions added to a lot of our content, our content.

[00:31:11.000]
I've been working hard on that for a number of years now. I'm gonna share with you 2 and opposing viewpoints you actually have viewpoint essays that have had questions in them for a number of years.

[00:31:23.000]
So hopefully you're already familiar with that, but I'm going to point that out to you today too.

[00:31:27.000]
So this one does have critical thinking questions and a lot of times students will be tasked with finding multiple articles.

[00:31:33.000]
So let's say they come into this topic page that maybe you've linked out and you use the get link tool.

[00:31:39.000]
You're working with teachers and you know that the roaring twentys or the jazz age is something that they cover and you want to share highlight this content not only do they have great print from the library but they can also access all this digital content.

[00:31:50.000]
You can use the get link tool and take them back to the topic page. Or an individual article as I just shared with you.

[00:31:59.000]
The Explorer panel provides supplemental information, so a lot of times as I said, students are tasked with finding content, they find one article, maybe they need 3 other documents, they can use the more like this section here in the Explore panel.

[00:32:14.000]
This article also has a table of contents and then related subjects are listed here. So I can quickly jump to women's rights if I wanted to.

[00:32:18.000]
It'll take me to an additional topic page. In with this. Content, let me go back to I filtered, let me go back, I went into.

[00:32:35.000]
The essay overview, but I want to scroll down the page because in our high school global issues opposing viewpoints science biography you're going to see the this featured section.

[00:32:48.000]
Featured content or featured issues. It is in opposing viewpoints and global issues. These are hands selected by our content editors.

[00:32:57.000]
So we consider this the best of the best. When you're looking at global issues and opposing viewpoints.

[00:33:02.000]
This is really great to direct students to because they're going to see both sides of the issues there.

[00:33:07.000]
It's not going to be one-sided. So and we really want them to develop those critical thinking skills.

[00:33:11.000]
So we don't say that this article is pro and this article is con. We want them to decide.

[00:33:17.000]
Is this a pro article or is it a con? Depends on what side they're of of the issue they're on, right?

[00:33:23.000]
So this feature content is a great place to get students started when they're doing their research or if teachers are pulling this in to supplement their curriculum, have them take a peek at first I would suggest best practice.

[00:33:35.000]
Look at that essay overview. Second, take a look at feature content. And then of course you have all this great content available.

[00:33:44.000]
Now this topic page actually has some critical essays, case overviews, plot summaries. Some creative works related topics are going to be all those topic pages at the bottom.

[00:33:55.000]
If you see websites, they're safe vetted websites that are available. Here on this topic and also academic journals.

[00:34:03.000]
Our academic journals and I'm going to scroll down because I want to show you in the summary here.

[00:34:07.000]
With our academic journals. What you'll find, here they are, is if they are peer reviewed, they're going to be marked with this checkmark.

[00:34:17.000]
You can filter by peer reviewed articles also. That's an option. Once I click into any of these.

[00:34:23.000]
Any of these content types that I can select from my filter your results section. So, but I want to point out peer review journals are available in our academic journals.

[00:34:34.000]
And they are marked that way. We're going to find great multimedia. Available in the the on the topic pages but throughout the resource itself.

[00:34:48.000]
I also want to share with you some of those accessibility tools. So let me select. I'm going to go into the roaring twenties article.

[00:34:57.000]
And you can see the publication information at the top. This is a level 4. This is an era overview.

[00:35:04.000]
The tools to support accessibility are here where I have the ability to translate the article into over 40 languages.

[00:35:05.000]
We are using Google Translate here. I can decrease or increase that font size. I have the ability to change the text, the color behind the text, so I just shows gray.

[00:35:26.000]
The open dyslexic font. I can also increase the line letter and words facing. And the nice thing is once I go into my first document and make these changes, this will stick with me throughout my session throughout my session.

[00:35:41.000]
Through my training session, yes, but throughout my session here within the resource, it will stay with me.

[00:35:45.000]
So once your students set this up, slot, you know, they don't close out of this this resource.

[00:35:51.000]
It'll stick with them in every article that they work through. So it's a nice tool to have.

[00:35:57.000]
Now if I wanted to go back to My default settings, it's in the bottom left-hand corner of the box.

[00:36:03.000]
And just click done. And then I can listen to the text being read aloud. It does highlight.

[00:36:09.000]
The the sentence and the word. One thing I want to point out here is under our settings gear, we have the ability to change the colors, turn the text highlighting on or off.

[00:36:18.000]
We also have this enhanced text visibility feature. This is at one of our hidden gems I always like to share.

[00:36:29.000]
And then we have this ability to slow the speed down. Or speed it up. I turned on the enhanced text visibility.

[00:36:37.000]
Now let me click play.

[00:36:40.000]
And it pulls out that text onto the page. So again, I open the Listen button, I clicked on the settings gear, and I turned on the enhanced text visibility.

[00:36:52.000]
Okay, and this does stick with you also. In fact, if I were to not turn it off, it would be here tomorrow morning when I came back into my office to work on it.

[00:37:03.000]
My computer cookies that information, but you do have that ability to turn that enhanced text visibility on or off or download this as an MP 3.

[00:37:15.000]
Can you share through Canvas? Thanks for asking that many. Yes, you can. There is the, you do have the ability to use the get link tool.

[00:37:22.000]
So here's the things with our learning management systems that I want to share with you. With our learning management systems, You have to.

[00:37:29.000]
When you're sharing a large piece of information and I'm sorry I'm thinking at the same time because you are all accessing through Utah's Online School Library.

[00:37:40.000]
So you will probably have to use the Get Link tool. There is it's a great tool to use.

[00:37:45.000]
But the embed feature isn't available. Through the, when you're accessing through the state link.

[00:37:51.000]
So you would use the get link tool. To share this in Canvas. So you would have to use that get link option.

[00:38:04.000]
And then you can post that in your right within your assignment, your discussion.

[00:38:12.000]
Chris, great question. There is if each individual site had their own direct URLs. So Chris just asked if there's a way to embed the Canvas LTI.

[00:38:24.000]
It is available, we do have that capability, but since you are accessing the way that that you all are.

[00:38:31.000]
It's, it's only accessible if you have an individual direct URL. And I don't want to open a can of worms at Davina and Caleb.

[00:38:37.000]
So I just want to mention that that's the that's the different process there. You all access through the online school library, which is a great process to have.

[00:38:41.000]
So you would be using the get link tool rather than embedding. Content directly into your learning management system.

[00:38:49.000]
Thanks for asking that Chris.

[00:38:57.000]
Okay, let me know if there are any other questions that that you may have around anything that I'm going over.

[00:39:03.000]
I went over the accessibility tools. And talked about the article levels. Now let me share with you.

[00:39:10.000]
I'm going to go into advanced search. Because this, if you've been working with your Gale resources, this functions the same way, but I want to point out some individual contents.

[00:39:19.000]
So here's another hidden gem that I want to share with you since I have your attention and I love to share this before I leave I do I should say before I leave this page I do want to point out our citation tools.

[00:39:33.000]
Hopefully you're familiar with this. Citations are attached to every document, image, video, all the content that we have available.

[00:39:36.000]
They are at the bottom and you do have the ability to change that source citation. So if I decide I want to change it before I send this document to Google Onedrive or email, I can change it to a different format.

[00:39:54.000]
I can also choose where I'd like to export it to. Course that citation tool is up at the top of our page.

[00:40:00.000]
If I just want the citation and not the whole entire art, you know, change it before I send the whole entire article.

[00:40:07.000]
I can do that, to that citation tool always lives in our contextual toolbar. Download print are also available and we've talked about Get Link a lot today.

[00:40:16.000]
We're going to touch on highlights and notes in the next resource. What I want to share with you today is an advanced search.

[00:40:23.000]
And there's some. Content there that I want to talk to you about that's available in it's also available in Gal in context middle school and I don't know if anyone's ever showed you this but we have some great for especially for any ELA folks.

[00:40:42.000]
We have some great publication, we work with this publisher and they are called It's exploring and I'm just going to start typing and exploring.

[00:40:51.000]
So we have exploring poetry, short stories, novels, and Shakespeare. And I'm going to go into exploring poetry.

[00:40:53.000]
And I'm not going to put any anything else in here. I'm not going to put any other terms.

[00:41:01.000]
I could if I was looking for a specific poem, I could put that information in here too. But I want to show you everything.

[00:41:05.000]
That they have available and there's a reason there's a method to my madness. So I'll share share that with you before I do.

[00:41:14.000]
I'm If you haven't been in advanced search, we added this a couple years ago, but you do have this is really helpful especially for our high school students to learn about special characters.

[00:41:23.000]
Or operators and we do have a little bit of an explanation for each of these with examples. So really helpful tools, especially for those at the upper high school level because they're going to be going on to college and knowing just some of the basics is going to be really helpful to them.

[00:41:37.000]
It is available in all of our Gale resources. So even if they're at the higher ed level and they're accessing Gale resources, they're gonna find the same thing there and feel very comfortable.

[00:41:49.000]
Search limiters are also here. These are great research limiters and then we have our different content types.

[00:41:55.000]
So if I wanted maybe all my primary sources, I can filter down and look for just all my primary sources.

[00:42:02.000]
Document type, content level, Lexile measure are both here. The this is the Lexile measure range here if I wanted to put in a specific Lexel measure.

[00:42:10.000]
Document types I can filter and multi-select. So, keep this in mind.

[00:42:15.000]
Maybe you're looking for primary sources and you want advertisements or diaries or memoirs, you can do that and find that in your list and multi select that before you start your search.

[00:42:26.000]
Okay, so remember I put in exploring poetry. And the reason why is because we have creative works and also audio files.

[00:42:30.000]
Our creative works you're going to find line notes for the poem. So we have actually the actual poems and you're going to find line notes.

[00:42:45.000]
Our audio files is a combination of readings may that were done by a local drama department at a university and then also readings done by the actual author.

[00:42:59.000]
So I like to point this out because that is again one of those hidden gems. It's something I get excited about within our resources because we do have these great audio files and imagine showing a student the creative work.

[00:43:10.000]
So I'm going to filter down. I like to use Nikki Giovanni.

[00:43:15.000]
Let me see. And I also like to use Casey at the back. He's yet the bats a fun one, but let me.

[00:43:23.000]
Let me look at Nikki Giovanni. She's got her Knoxville.

[00:43:26.000]
There it is. Maxville, Tennessee. So we have the audio file and then the creative works I want to share with you.

[00:43:33.000]
Is going to have the line notes. So imagine a student listening to this audio file. Let me go back to my results.

[00:43:43.000]
I'm going to increase my volume here. So hopefully you all can hear it. Going to our audio file.

[00:43:47.000]
Let me. Open this up. So I want to make sure I click this play button. If I click the list button, it's going to just read this little.

[00:43:55.000]
Sentence of text. But the play button will read the text aloud to me and it's actually Nicki.

[00:44:01.000]
Nicki Giovanni reading her poem.

[00:44:07.000]
Best.

[00:44:14.000]
Barbecue and butter milk. So that type of content you're going to find available in your Gale resources.

[00:44:20.000]
Again, I went into Advanced Search. And I just typed in and this is I changed the field to publication title.

[00:44:29.000]
And typed in exploring. I selected poetry but we have short stories, novels, Shakespeare's great to Shakespeare so hard to learn I had it in college and my goodness I would have loved to have access to this.

[00:44:40.000]
But it's so hard for students to learn and to hear that those audio files being read aloud as so helpful.

[00:44:46.000]
Especially again with poetry. And we have some great ones like I said Casey at the Bats one of my favorites and that that one happens to be read by someone from a local university at the drama department.

[00:45:02.000]
So you're going to find a mix of either the author actually reading their their work or sound like I said someone from the local drama department.

[00:45:05.000]
So that's one of those hidden gems again available in Gale In context. High school and Gale In context middle school.

[00:45:14.000]
Now the last resource let me know if you have any questions. I'm going to build your knowledge and add more tools and features in the last resource and that is.

[00:45:29.000]
Gale in context global issues.

[00:45:34.000]
And I am already signed in. My computer remembered me and signed me right in. Now. I had mentioned right off the bat, I want to share with you how you can cross search through global issues and opposing viewpoints at the same time.

[00:45:45.000]
And then we will talk about this resource and the content you have available. So let me quickly show you.

[00:45:53.000]
Right here, next into the left of our basic search, you're going to see and have the ability to search through.

[00:45:55.000]
Global issues. I suggest going into opposing viewpoints, but what I like this feature for is searching through both at the same time.

[00:46:07.000]
Cold War is a great example, so if you have to do any type of training and this I will be using in the train the trainer session next week.

[00:46:16.000]
But if you're doing any training cold war is a good one because it does show both. Both sides.

[00:46:24.000]
So the Cold War, you can see here the suggested topic pages that we have available in global. And it's weird that it's not showing up.

[00:46:33.000]
Hold on a second. Something just recently changed. Let me. Let me choose another one and go back.

[00:46:40.000]
Might be different in opposing viewpoints. Let's see, that would be interesting and something I would need to share.

[00:46:47.000]
Higher up the chain. Both. And cool blur.

[00:46:53.000]
So what I should be seeing Yeah, okay, so something has changed. And I'll have to look into that and I apologize if you know there wouldn't be a training if there wasn't some kind of little tech issue but that's something I will follow up with our folks on.

[00:47:07.000]
But what I wanted to share with you is that ability to search through both at the same time, let's do global warming.

[00:47:20.000]
And I'm still, yeah, the connection is something's going on with the connection tonight. And I apologize and it's tonight because I'm eastern time.

[00:47:24.000]
So I apologize for that, but I should be seeing what I wanted to share with you is the ability to have to see both.

[00:47:35.000]
Global issues and opposing viewpoints. So if I had different topic pages, which I know for fact we have this topic page in both resources.

[00:47:42.000]
I should be seeing that in my results over here on the right hand side. So you would see this one's coming from global issues if it were coming from opposing viewpoints.

[00:47:48.000]
I would see both of those listed here and I apologize for some reason. We're having a little bit of a glitch tonight.

[00:47:51.000]
So please do go back and check that. And I will be following up with our tech folks as to why we're not seeing that.

[00:48:05.000]
Always work perfectly for me. But again, look through and that that ability to cross search through both is here at the top.

[00:48:15.000]
And I'm sure we'll have it fixed by tomorrow morning when you're looking at your resources.

[00:48:19.000]
Okay, so let me look at. We're gonna look at global issues. Then I want to talk to you about some of the topic pages.

[00:48:21.000]
One of them was exactly that. Global warming and climate change that we're going to go into.

[00:48:30.000]
And again, if I Looking at the homepage, beef, I don't want to just jump ahead, but looks very similar to where we've been at in our in context resources.

[00:48:39.000]
A new feature that you're going to find here, I should say additional feature in our contextual toolbar is the browse map feature.

[00:48:47.000]
Where I have that ability to jump into, use, utilizing the map, I can see there's 15 issues in China and these are related to our topic pages 5 issues in in Australia.

[00:49:00.000]
2 that are showing up here in Canada. United States has 21 and then I can choose from these categories on the right hand side.

[00:49:09.000]
So again, that is in our contextual toolbar. Where we have some topic pages linked out. I'm using the map.

[00:49:19.000]
So I'm going to go into global issues here just global issues. I'm not going to cross search.

[00:49:24.000]
And here we are going to go into. Global warming climate change.

[00:49:36.000]
And that's just like global warming today. Overview and image and essay overview. Again, we have all of the content on the page.

[00:49:39.000]
Look, so it looks very similar to where we've been at. We've talked about the tools and features, our tools to support accessibility, what's a little different here is we have featured content, but we have viewpoints.

[00:49:56.000]
And in our viewpoints.

[00:50:00.000]
We have. Articles, editorials available in opposing viewpoints, you'll find a lot of viewpoint essays which you'll see in your search results here.

[00:50:13.000]
Here we have a lot of articles available. But these are looking at specific viewpoints. So we have that in.

[00:50:20.000]
Both global issues and opposing viewpoints where we're looking at unique and individual or in this case global viewpoints on certain topics.

[00:50:31.000]
Like this one, should we name heat waves? We have an article commentary and then below is where in the viewpoints section you're going to find and again viewpoint essays and opposing viewpoints.

[00:50:44.000]
Those questions. So questions to consider as you're reading this. Article. And then our our citations you'll see we'll have 2 citations because one is for the commentary and one is for the article itself.

[00:50:59.000]
Alright, so those are little unique to these individual resources that you have access to from Utah's Online School Library.

[00:51:04.000]
It's something I like to always share and point out. Let me go back to that topic page.

[00:51:14.000]
And then we can go again. I clicked into viewpoints. I shared with you the questions.

[00:51:15.000]
That are available, but I want to talk to you about and I could have just stayed and let me go into this featured content instead.

[00:51:27.000]
I want to talk to you about highlights and notes. And highlights and notes is the ability to highlight chunks of text.

[00:51:34.000]
And mark up a document. So if I were interested in this chunk of text here, I can just click and drag.

[00:51:42.000]
Select my color. Add any notes I want. Save that information. Maybe here's another section.

[00:51:51.000]
I really like this tool also when I talked about opposing viewpoints, critical thinking questions that you're going to find in in middle school and high school using those questions and highlights a notes.

[00:52:06.000]
So maybe I highlight the question question one in yellow and then I go into the article itself and find the answer to that.

[00:52:11.000]
Or something I want to share about it. I can do that and I really love it for those. And posing viewpoints and global issues, if you're looking at pro-con both sides of the issue highlights and notes is a great tool to use for that.

[00:52:25.000]
Also where I can highlight those chunks of text. Maybe I'm looking for quotes or facts or information I want to pull into my paper or project.

[00:52:36.000]
This is a great tool to use. And let me talk to you about what happens. So I've highlighted some and I'm just adding in some very bad notes.

[00:52:43.000]
Again, I mentioned that. You have that ability to highlight a word just like in your e readers and click the define button.

[00:52:52.000]
And it'll give me a page. Out of the Webster's dictionary. I didn't, I like the whole word.

[00:52:57.000]
Just do that again. There we go. There you go, radical. So here's the term for me.

[00:53:04.000]
But what happens is I've done this highlighting. I want to save this article. I want to make sure I keep it.

[00:53:10.000]
So what I would do best practice is send this marked up article to Google Onedrive or email.

[00:53:17.000]
I can also print or download. What happens is Hopefully you're familiar with this. It lands in a folder.

[00:53:24.000]
Titled Gale In Context Global Issues. And I have this marked up document in my Google Drive waiting in a global issues folder.

[00:53:34.000]
Now, if I just want what I've highlighted, let me go into another article. To use as an example here.

[00:53:41.000]
Let's go back to heat waves.

[00:53:44.000]
Highlight that first sentence, put it in. Let's choose orange this time. And maybe this section here.

[00:53:53.000]
Is answering. Question and then I would want to put in my notes. Okay. Now the reason why I did this is because I wanted to share with you and highlights the notes in the upper right hand corner.

[00:54:05.000]
In my contextual toolbar. When I click into it, it'll show me what's I what I've highlighted on this article, but if I wanted to see everything all the articles I've highlighted I can choose that view all highlights the notes button And then it takes me to just what I like to call digital notes.

[00:54:23.000]
I have the article title. I have my notes. I have the ability to edit my notes. And this is great when students are working on projects together.

[00:54:34.000]
If you have, I had a teacher share with me that they would use this for sub notes, so they would assign an article for students to read using the get link.

[00:54:37.000]
And then here they would put in notes. For the substitute teacher and they'd have them ready to go, which is awesome idea to utilize that tool in a way that you know you hadn't really thought about.

[00:54:50.000]
So you have that highlights and notes you can change those notes. I can save them if I were to change them.

[00:54:59.000]
My bibliography is attached. I can just send these digital notes. To Google Microsoft email. I can also download and print.

[00:55:09.000]
The citation tool, this is what I was excited to share with you too, is here's my bibliography.

[00:55:15.000]
So if I've highlighted, let's say I've highlighted 5 articles, I have to come in here before I leave my session.

[00:55:21.000]
This is a session based tool. I can save these notes or my bibliography or change the format or choose where I'd like to export them to.

[00:55:31.000]
I'm all from my digital notes or highlights of notes. I also have the ability to create labels.

[00:55:39.000]
And I've used all these colors so I can add maybe this is a fact as you can see this isn't a drop-down menu just ones I use all the time and that led We'll go with my digital notes when I send them.

[00:55:52.000]
To my Google Strike. Not only that, so they'll land in a folder titled highlights and notes.

[00:55:59.000]
But not only that from that. From that I'm sorry the land in the global issues folder it'll be titled highlights and notes don't want to confuse you on that.

[00:56:06.000]
They'll be titled highlights and notes. But from that, that document, my marked up or this, these digital notes.

[00:56:16.000]
Document. I will have the article will be hyperlinked out. So if I send it, you see we have just 2 min here so let me send it and just model for you real quick and then we'll go back to the PowerPoint.

[00:56:29.000]
Let me know if there are any questions. By go into my drive. And go into global issues. I've got a lot open here.

[00:56:40.000]
And I go into, context.

[00:56:45.000]
There it is, global issues.

[00:56:49.000]
Here's my highlighted articles.

[00:56:53.000]
So my article is actually hyperlinked out. So I can go back to my article. Now, if you, here's a best practice.

[00:57:02.000]
You have teachers that want to share. These highlights and notes that they've taken with students, have them send them to their Google Drive and then share them with students that way.

[00:57:08.000]
Or Microsoft One Dr, whatever they're using. Because if they come back into that article that we were just on.

[00:57:21.000]
It won't save any of that information. Okay, we don't want it to because we don't want it to be static.

[00:57:27.000]
We want the most current information to show up there. So if they need to do any additional highlighting, they can do that.

[00:57:28.000]
In the article because remember we had them send that entire article. As a best practice to their Google Drive, so they have both.

[00:57:41.000]
They have the article. And I didn't send the second one. But they have the article and those.

[00:57:43.000]
That highlights the notes for those digital notes available. So again, best practice for teachers and for students is to send the whole article to your Google Drive and if they want to share and show or I have a lot of librarians and media specialists that will mark up a document and use this as a mini lesson, highlights a notes mini lesson and send it to their Google Drive and then share it with their students.

[00:58:11.000]
So because what will happen is from my Google Drive, if I click into that title, it will take me back to the article that has not been marked up.

[00:58:20.000]
So I won't see any of them mark ups there. Okay, hopefully that answers some questions and get you ahead of the ahead of the curve there so you don't you can get in front of those questions before students ask.

[00:58:35.000]
Last thing I wanted to share with you real quick, and we are, I know, right at the end of our time here is the very fun topic.

[00:58:38.000]
Finder. Topic Finder again lives on that homepage. I can pull in my search results.

[00:58:46.000]
I'm going to use global issues. Not global issues, global warming.

[00:58:55.000]
Visual representation of your search results. It is interactive. You can see here I can click into a tile.

[00:59:04.000]
Zooms in and gives me additional keywords. I love this when students are working on research because it does.

[00:59:11.000]
You give them keywords that maybe they hadn't necessarily thought about and I can drill down and it will take me to articles, images, videos, everything we have available.

[00:59:19.000]
It's looking at the first at the top results. These are like the top hits. Of the search results.

[00:59:23.000]
So. Keep that in mind that that's an option and it's interactive. Our students love it.

[00:59:26.000]
You have both the tiles and the wheel available in that visualization.

[00:59:39.000]
All right. Let me go back to my PowerPoint real quick and just share with you where you can go for additional support.

[00:59:45.000]
And that's our gale support site. We have great materials available this first section about product information.

[00:59:48.000]
