Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:01.439]
All right. Hello and welcome everybody.
[00:00:04.059]
I'm Stacey Knibloe your Gale trainer
[00:00:06.219]
for California. Glad to be
[00:00:08.358]
with you to take a look at our
[00:00:10.618]
uh National Geographic Resource.
[00:00:12.919]
Uh We have a good amount of time to cover
[00:00:15.099]
what we want. So do feel free to use the chat,
[00:00:17.388]
the Q. And A. If you want
[00:00:19.440]
to make sure there's anything I'm gonna cover
[00:00:21.519]
or uh of course I have any questions.
[00:00:24.339]
I am happy to take those
[00:00:26.579]
along the way. Uh Or of course
[00:00:28.818]
right now so
[00:00:30.609]
let's talk a little bit we want
[00:00:32.668]
to uh in this session our
[00:00:34.719]
engaging young science learners with National
[00:00:36.959]
Geographic Kids is give you a quick
[00:00:39.399]
resource refresher. So this has been
[00:00:41.490]
available for a little while but I just want to remind
[00:00:43.750]
you what's there and then really we're gonna spend
[00:00:45.889]
most of our time in the resource. We had
[00:00:47.978]
a release this summer that updated the
[00:00:50.039]
interface, added some new tools
[00:00:52.289]
uh and we really wanted to provide.
[00:00:54.829]
just a little info on uh what's new
[00:00:57.319]
but also make sure you're comfortable with all the tools
[00:00:59.429]
that are that are already there and are aware
[00:01:01.590]
of all the content and how you can put it to
[00:01:03.649]
work in the library in the classroom.
[00:01:05.588]
We'll also talk about sharing content
[00:01:07.790]
from the resource getting in front of students
[00:01:09.959]
and other learners. Uh and always
[00:01:12.269]
and as always we'll wrap up with the support
[00:01:14.448]
you can receive from Gale when you've got
[00:01:16.500]
questions about any of these resources,
[00:01:19.668]
So again just to kind of make
[00:01:21.689]
sure I hit the things you want to see, feel
[00:01:23.730]
free to make use of the chat, you should
[00:01:25.948]
be able to send me chats now.
[00:01:28.010]
I think it might have been disabled earlier in the session
[00:01:30.790]
zoom seems to be resetting that every
[00:01:32.930]
time I start a webinar. So
[00:01:35.308]
um feel free to send me a chat there or
[00:01:37.549]
use the uh Q. And a tool and I'm
[00:01:39.569]
happy to uh make sure I cover
[00:01:41.730]
anything you want to see. This is really your session
[00:01:45.909]
And the resources um
[00:01:48.159]
that National Geographic is a part of
[00:01:50.379]
come to you through the California, K-12
[00:01:52.459]
online content project and
[00:01:54.799]
you can of course access the resources there but
[00:01:56.939]
we have set up access for each school
[00:01:58.980]
district and public library in California.
[00:02:01.689]
Uh again I'm gonna share our, you know, support
[00:02:03.730]
when we wrap up.
[00:02:05.549]
you can generate your access U. R. L. S. And
[00:02:07.668]
get lots of other good stuff on our support site.
[00:02:10.338]
Uh The nice thing about these resources is
[00:02:12.490]
they're all geo
[00:02:13.490]
authenticated meaning if they
[00:02:15.580]
know you're in California, they just
[00:02:17.610]
let you in. No need for passwords
[00:02:19.969]
or library card numbers or anything.
[00:02:22.069]
Um We can also set up off the other authentication
[00:02:24.479]
methods if uh there are ones that
[00:02:26.599]
interest your institution. Uh But
[00:02:29.000]
G. O. Is uh kind of our default
[00:02:31.118]
for our California resources.
[00:02:34.179]
and of course one of those is National Geographic
[00:02:36.879]
Kids. So kind of an evergreen tool.
[00:02:39.240]
Uh One of the librarians I work with
[00:02:41.278]
always likes to say you never outgrow National
[00:02:43.508]
Geographic Kids. Um and I think that's
[00:02:45.550]
true, it's great content.
[00:02:47.919]
Um You of course have the magazine and the
[00:02:49.969]
collection and we have that going back to
[00:02:52.038]
2009. So you can browse past
[00:02:54.250]
issues um and of course find
[00:02:56.460]
content to help support uh research
[00:02:59.058]
and instruction. You also
[00:03:01.229]
have over 200 videos for National
[00:03:03.538]
Geographic, a great kind of starting point
[00:03:05.719]
grab kids attention. Uh if they're
[00:03:07.849]
more kind of visual learners, you've
[00:03:10.088]
got over 650 full text
[00:03:12.399]
eBooks and the collection as well published
[00:03:14.729]
by Nat Geo
[00:03:16.129]
and over 900 downloadable.
[00:03:18.645]
Images, which is nice. Um The uh
[00:03:20.663]
content from Net of course is
[00:03:23.074]
outstanding. Um and they are
[00:03:25.205]
very protective of it, we'll talk about it uh that
[00:03:27.615]
a little bit more when we get into the resource too. But
[00:03:29.925]
those downloadable images are
[00:03:32.074]
really handy because it's not generally something they
[00:03:34.183]
like to do. So we're pleased to be able to offer
[00:03:36.324]
those.
[00:03:37.278]
This resource has unlimited use
[00:03:39.360]
so you can get in there and use it as much as you like.
[00:03:41.990]
The magazine. The eBooks are
[00:03:44.250]
all kind of varied reading levels. We'll
[00:03:46.349]
talk a bit more about that too when we get in there.
[00:03:48.899]
Uh But it's available to everybody at your
[00:03:50.929]
school. So if you've got an eighth grader you wanna put in
[00:03:52.979]
this resource, they of course have
[00:03:55.149]
have access to it. You have an adult you want to put
[00:03:57.199]
in this resource, everybody's got access.
[00:03:59.979]
So
[00:04:01.179]
with that let's go ahead and take a look at the new
[00:04:03.189]
interface. It is. Um
[00:04:06.088]
something that released this summer and it just
[00:04:08.308]
happened automatically. There was no need
[00:04:10.649]
for um our uh libraries
[00:04:13.050]
or schools to do anything. It just launched
[00:04:15.830]
uh with some enhancements and again
[00:04:18.119]
here's that California K 12 online pro
[00:04:20.129]
content project page and can
[00:04:22.149]
see the G resources Britannic,
[00:04:24.189]
all of their uh digital resources available
[00:04:26.358]
over here on the right, you can always get them from there.
[00:04:28.829]
However, I'm not coming to you from California
[00:04:31.579]
so the geo authentication won't work for me. I've
[00:04:33.678]
gone ahead and just launched our menu
[00:04:35.809]
here so I can get into the Resource
[00:04:40.269]
So the home page has
[00:04:42.379]
a different look and feel but
[00:04:44.470]
really what's there hasn't changed. The
[00:04:46.579]
home page of really most
[00:04:48.678]
scale resources are there to give
[00:04:50.809]
you a chance to dive right in with a search
[00:04:53.129]
when you know your topic and you're off and running
[00:04:55.449]
but also wants to encourage discovery.
[00:04:57.608]
So we give you some browse options here. You can
[00:04:59.660]
browse some magazine articles
[00:05:01.988]
that our editors have chosen to highlight.
[00:05:04.290]
You can browse some book content
[00:05:07.254]
videos, pictures, just
[00:05:09.605]
things to grab attention. We usually change
[00:05:11.754]
the home page out every month or so
[00:05:13.915]
just to give um you know a fresh
[00:05:16.553]
look at content uh for users who are
[00:05:18.803]
in here often. Uh But it's a great
[00:05:20.983]
way too to just kind of realize what's
[00:05:23.045]
here. The home page is showing
[00:05:25.324]
you, you've got the magazine, you've got books, you've got videos
[00:05:27.814]
and so on. So it's a nice reinforcement
[00:05:30.653]
if you're not familiar with the resource to kind
[00:05:32.665]
of get to know what's here.
[00:05:34.858]
Uh So we are gonna dive right in with
[00:05:37.170]
a search and then we'll talk about some of the
[00:05:39.230]
new features and working with results.
[00:05:41.639]
Uh We're gonna come back to the home page and browse a little
[00:05:43.850]
bit though there are a few tips I want to share for
[00:05:46.178]
uh our teacher librarians, our librarians,
[00:05:48.259]
our teachers um that may
[00:05:50.420]
uh they may find candy. So let's dive in
[00:05:52.500]
right though, let's say we've got a student who
[00:05:55.000]
uh is uh maybe a first, you
[00:05:57.170]
know, , researching an animal.
[00:06:00.088]
And they're gonna go with sea
[00:06:02.170]
tour toles.
[00:06:03.970]
So sending your search out
[00:06:06.149]
is gonna look across all of the different types
[00:06:08.399]
of content in the resource
[00:06:10.738]
and like most of our databases
[00:06:12.769]
we break down the content
[00:06:15.028]
by
[00:06:16.100]
the types of sources it's coming
[00:06:18.108]
from. So you'll see here across
[00:06:20.269]
the top. We used to do this down the left hand
[00:06:22.449]
side in the previous interface. Now we've
[00:06:24.569]
just pushed it to the top, you can get a quick
[00:06:26.588]
summary of how many hits you have.
[00:06:28.764]
And again, where they're coming from. So we find
[00:06:30.915]
of course magazine articles, books,
[00:06:33.233]
videos, pictures, magazine covers,
[00:06:35.574]
even which is something special.
[00:06:37.975]
We do for national geographic content.
[00:06:40.035]
They are generally so uh recognizable
[00:06:42.975]
by covers. They kind of stick. If I jump
[00:06:45.004]
down a bit we can see those. So basically
[00:06:47.225]
what I did was find any covers that had sea turtles
[00:06:49.463]
on them. Uh so I Oh yes, that's
[00:06:51.595]
the issue I wanted and I can dive right in.
[00:06:53.713]
So something kind of fun with the magazine
[00:06:56.165]
covers,
[00:06:57.608]
but really the good stuff kind of appears
[00:06:59.730]
uh well it's all good stuff. Uh but the
[00:07:01.769]
uh the content you might be using if you're writing an animal
[00:07:04.079]
report is probably gonna appear up top. So
[00:07:06.209]
magazine articles, books and so on are all
[00:07:08.588]
kind of how we get started.
[00:07:10.959]
and
[00:07:13.009]
you'll see over on the right, you have the ability
[00:07:15.298]
to filter your results so you can choose
[00:07:17.480]
things like subjects person
[00:07:20.100]
by or about if it should be you
[00:07:22.178]
know need it for that result. Uh document
[00:07:24.869]
type, this kind of thing you can really
[00:07:27.540]
filter in but it is
[00:07:29.649]
a smaller collection so that's there
[00:07:31.829]
if you need it. But generally we find with
[00:07:33.858]
National Geographic Kids you can kind of jump right into
[00:07:36.059]
your results
[00:07:37.678]
uh the magazine, let's go ahead and take a look
[00:07:39.838]
closer look at these. So we show just a couple
[00:07:42.379]
quick thumbnail views of the first three
[00:07:44.470]
results. If I click on more kids magazine
[00:07:47.019]
or even just the header here,
[00:07:49.048]
I'll jump right it and can view all 60 of
[00:07:51.178]
those articles,
[00:07:53.069]
and again you get the thumbnail view of the pages
[00:07:55.290]
where your articles are on. Um So some
[00:07:57.358]
of them we can see like this first one art
[00:07:59.500]
zone I can see there's you know an image of a of
[00:08:01.619]
a turtle there. That's why I got this one back. So you
[00:08:03.699]
kind of these visual cues
[00:08:05.619]
but we are sorting by newest articles.
[00:08:07.949]
So you get kind of the newest contact first
[00:08:10.309]
which you know, typical, you're looking at science things. Science
[00:08:12.608]
related is a good thing.
[00:08:14.470]
Uh, but what we can also do is there's
[00:08:16.720]
a sort by option,
[00:08:18.569]
uh above our results. So I could change
[00:08:20.889]
that and you know, depending on your search,
[00:08:22.988]
you may need that trick in in your pocket.
[00:08:25.048]
So I'm gonna go ahead and choose relevance in
[00:08:27.108]
this case. And what it will do is just kind of push
[00:08:29.528]
my sea turtle articles up to the top
[00:08:32.408]
I also filtering by subjects could
[00:08:34.529]
have done the same thing. So she's usually more than one
[00:08:36.639]
way to do things in our resources.
[00:08:38.700]
But now I can kind of see these articles that are
[00:08:40.779]
all about sea turtles right up to
[00:08:42.830]
the top of my page,
[00:08:44.798]
and one of the uh ways
[00:08:46.869]
that we work with National Geographic
[00:08:49.369]
is to stay true to
[00:08:51.658]
their original publications. So
[00:08:54.099]
with all of the magazines the books
[00:08:56.418]
you're gonna actually view it like you would if
[00:08:58.450]
you've taken it off the shelf and are flipping through
[00:09:00.739]
it. Two page view. It's kind
[00:09:02.798]
of like we're working with a P. D. F. Here, everything's
[00:09:04.879]
been scanned. Um Of course they do
[00:09:06.960]
a really nice job with that. Um Really
[00:09:08.969]
high quality scans uh And
[00:09:11.070]
it just mimics what you would have in the print experience.
[00:09:14.710]
And we find the end users like that as
[00:09:16.750]
well. You know, the act of kind of flipping through the
[00:09:18.820]
magazine, flipping through a book. We've got that here.
[00:09:21.779]
And we did update the viewer
[00:09:24.190]
that we're using here. It is uh, it works
[00:09:26.369]
better with different accessibility tools. So
[00:09:28.548]
if you're using screen reader or
[00:09:30.570]
or other kind of browser tools, um, to
[00:09:32.750]
reach every learner. This new interface,
[00:09:35.580]
not only the viewer, but just other changes
[00:09:37.619]
we make kind of upped our um, compliance
[00:09:40.335]
with different accessibility tools.
[00:09:42.433]
Um, we have more details on that on our website.
[00:09:44.875]
Actually, if you scroll to the bottom, let me go back
[00:09:47.104]
out uh, to the results here. If you
[00:09:49.154]
scroll to the bottom of most of our pages,
[00:09:51.423]
there's a link out to our accessibility
[00:09:53.604]
statement
[00:09:55.418]
right at the bottom of the page. Plus you can get
[00:09:57.469]
to our V. A. Directory. So if you really need
[00:09:59.639]
to get into the weeds on accessibility
[00:10:01.649]
we've got a lot of great content here. And then of course
[00:10:03.788]
you can always reach out to the Gale team.
[00:10:06.399]
Um But let's jump back into the article
[00:10:08.408]
here. So
[00:10:10.580]
the viewer allows um
[00:10:13.519]
for a lot of kind of um, interaction
[00:10:16.219]
with the uh, with the images,
[00:10:18.349]
we have the arrows over here on the right and left,
[00:10:20.599]
so I can flip through it or I on
[00:10:22.960]
a um
[00:10:24.849]
uh, touch screen, I'd be able to actually
[00:10:26.960]
flip to swipe my finger and slip uh, swipe
[00:10:29.369]
the pages through.
[00:10:31.058]
Uh, you also have tools, let me just
[00:10:33.070]
go ahead and circle them embedded
[00:10:35.190]
right in the images to let you interact
[00:10:37.599]
with them. So no separate toolbar
[00:10:39.719]
or anything.
[00:10:40.979]
And really my favorite of these
[00:10:43.119]
is this kind of four co four
[00:10:45.229]
corners icon. What that's
[00:10:47.288]
gonna do. It may look familiar, it's often
[00:10:49.389]
used
[00:10:50.399]
to switch into full screen mode.
[00:10:52.538]
So we can have the magazine kind of take over
[00:10:54.798]
our screen and instead of
[00:10:56.849]
getting you know all of the database
[00:10:59.320]
headers and other stuff,
[00:11:01.570]
I just get the magazine right. I've got the
[00:11:03.619]
arrows to navigate through it. I have a plus
[00:11:05.979]
and a minus here to zoom in or out.
[00:11:08.178]
I need to I want to get a closer look at this.
[00:11:10.700]
Um uh wrinkle butt,
[00:11:12.779]
uh
[00:11:13.729]
uh turtle, I can zoom
[00:11:16.080]
right in,
[00:11:17.009]
I can zoom back out and then we
[00:11:19.038]
do have a text to speech tool
[00:11:21.259]
and it is working
[00:11:23.308]
with the text that's kind of behind the scenes
[00:11:26.149]
so we can go ahead and turn that
[00:11:28.168]
on
[00:11:29.340]
slippery swimmers. The idea that
[00:11:31.399]
sea turtles are plotting and ungraceful
[00:11:33.678]
proves untrue. As soon as biologist,
[00:11:36.080]
my house tries to catch a three ft
[00:11:38.210]
long, £350
[00:11:40.869]
go stop though. Uh,
[00:11:42.950]
but great tool to be able to again reach
[00:11:45.259]
more learners if we have kids who are maybe
[00:11:47.678]
absorbed more when they're listening rather than reading,
[00:11:49.979]
you've got that that tool as well.
[00:11:52.840]
All right so the full screen would be really handy
[00:11:55.759]
but let me go back to the database view,
[00:11:59.239]
And I'll show you some other tools here.
[00:12:01.428]
So over on the left, we
[00:12:03.538]
have um, basically
[00:12:05.658]
the details around the article. I can open
[00:12:07.798]
up the table of contents and
[00:12:10.418]
actually get to the whole issue
[00:12:12.849]
because again, it's staying true to the print.
[00:12:15.538]
What it did was really just opens us up
[00:12:17.960]
to
[00:12:19.058]
this sea turtle article in this issue.
[00:12:21.479]
If I go back another page, you'll see. We're actually
[00:12:23.889]
in the magazine. So this is the previous o article
[00:12:26.408]
about Otters.
[00:12:27.580]
So the table of contents here just lets you browse
[00:12:29.960]
through that whole magazine if you'd like or get
[00:12:32.048]
back to where you need to be.
[00:12:33.859]
You can search within the article,
[00:12:35.918]
it's also gonna show you where your search term
[00:12:38.149]
hits are. So of course this whole article
[00:12:40.428]
is about sea turtles. Uh so,
[00:12:42.639]
you know, all pages mention it,
[00:12:44.719]
but this can be handy if you are, you
[00:12:46.759]
know, maybe there's just a mention of sea turtles in another
[00:12:49.019]
article about, you know, uh marine
[00:12:51.058]
life or something. We can zero in on that
[00:12:54.288]
then there's a quick dictionary look up. We're
[00:12:56.349]
using Merriam Webster's uh, kids dictionary
[00:12:58.500]
here. So you can pull a term maybe from the article
[00:13:00.609]
and search here.
[00:13:02.298]
and then our full citation for the
[00:13:04.399]
article. So what issue is it coming from
[00:13:06.599]
the author? All of those things kids would need
[00:13:08.798]
if they were going to, you know, build a work
[00:13:10.989]
cited uh page or bibliography,
[00:13:13.690]
although we have another trick in our book for that.
[00:13:15.798]
Let me go ahead. And
[00:13:18.450]
point it out here,
[00:13:20.710]
our site tool actually builds
[00:13:22.750]
a citation for students.
[00:13:24.769]
So of course this is always important in research.
[00:13:27.239]
We want to know where we got, you know,
[00:13:29.379]
our information.
[00:13:30.759]
And the site tool uses four
[00:13:33.090]
different citation styles M L A
[00:13:35.489]
a p a Chicago and Harvard
[00:13:37.590]
that I could just copy and paste and put right
[00:13:39.678]
in my bibliography. So depending
[00:13:41.750]
on the age of the user you're working with,
[00:13:43.820]
you know, especially in elementary school, they may
[00:13:45.940]
not be familiar with these specific styles
[00:13:48.009]
yet, but they can build their citations
[00:13:50.524]
from the full citation over there on the left. But if
[00:13:52.604]
we're working with say 1/7 grader, you
[00:13:54.764]
know, this might be something they're starting to learn about
[00:13:56.783]
different styles. May have particular needs from
[00:13:59.104]
uh, the classroom, uh, around
[00:14:01.264]
styles. They can pull this,
[00:14:03.303]
put it right through their bibliography or export
[00:14:05.484]
out to these tools here, like noodle tools,
[00:14:07.585]
easy bib and so on.
[00:14:10.009]
And so really handy make it easy
[00:14:12.210]
for them to cite their sources.
[00:14:15.250]
Now I mentioned before, we are a little
[00:14:17.259]
limited. Um, there are some restrictions
[00:14:19.428]
that Nat Geo places on us,
[00:14:21.450]
you'll notice really. The only thing we can do
[00:14:23.538]
with this article aside from of course reading it on
[00:14:25.619]
the screen is print it, it's gonna give
[00:14:27.710]
you the option to print now
[00:14:29.769]
by default it is printing the
[00:14:31.908]
whole issue, so you can just change
[00:14:33.928]
that to the pages of the article. So this one
[00:14:36.048]
starts on page 24
[00:14:38.750]
and I think it went through, I think it was that whole
[00:14:40.960]
next page too. So what
[00:14:42.979]
a page. Uh let's see, that would be 27
[00:14:45.928]
I can print just those pages. It'll give you a preview,
[00:14:48.219]
like a P. D. F. Preview so you can make sure that's
[00:14:50.259]
what you want.
[00:14:51.340]
Um But printing is really our only option.
[00:14:53.529]
Unfortunately we can't download the magazine
[00:14:55.690]
or book content, we can't email it,
[00:14:58.200]
we can really only print it.
[00:15:00.408]
So just something that's a little different.
[00:15:02.629]
Your other databases typically don't have that restriction.
[00:15:05.489]
Um But again Nat Geo is
[00:15:07.529]
uh you know very protective of its content.
[00:15:09.719]
Um So we are uh
[00:15:12.399]
uh limiting the retrieval options
[00:15:14.519]
as we would call them here
[00:15:18.558]
All right. So there's a look at some of our results
[00:15:20.739]
for uh the mega. Well actually we just looked
[00:15:22.808]
at one. Let me jump back out to the results, but all of
[00:15:24.879]
our articles are going to mimic the same format.
[00:15:27.239]
So if I jump into the second one again,
[00:15:29.538]
the two page view, the viewer
[00:15:31.700]
tools here and here, over
[00:15:33.820]
on the left, the arrows to move between
[00:15:37.629]
And it can again you know kind of get
[00:15:39.969]
to the entire issue from here so
[00:15:42.798]
we can move through
[00:15:44.219]
some of the puzzles things like that.
[00:15:48.340]
so I'm gonna move over to book content
[00:15:50.690]
and I'm just gonna do that by using the
[00:15:52.739]
header up here at the top.
[00:15:55.239]
and we've got a few different books. Now.
[00:15:57.658]
I'm going to in the chat kind of while
[00:15:59.840]
I talk about this, load up
[00:16:02.178]
a title list for um,
[00:16:04.239]
National Geographic Kids because it
[00:16:06.340]
gives you
[00:16:08.450]
the uh
[00:16:10.548]
reading level for all of the books
[00:16:12.849]
that are in
[00:16:14.779]
this resource,
[00:16:16.808]
we can't see them here.
[00:16:19.918]
in the results. There we go. I just uploaded
[00:16:22.210]
it. Um We can't see a reading level
[00:16:24.408]
here but the covers of the book sometimes
[00:16:26.609]
are you know just a good indicator, you can see the reader
[00:16:28.719]
number. Um or you
[00:16:30.849]
know something that looks more like a picture book versus
[00:16:33.349]
you know a middle reader or something like that.
[00:16:36.239]
So covers can be you know kind of a visual
[00:16:38.428]
queue. But that title list will give
[00:16:40.548]
you a much more uh specific
[00:16:43.129]
reading level uh and grade level
[00:16:45.149]
for each of the books in the collection
[00:16:47.609]
And like our other
[00:16:50.058]
Um Meg or like our magazine viewer. The
[00:16:52.158]
book viewer is actually gonna work the same way
[00:16:54.719]
here. We've pulled the book off the shelf
[00:16:56.940]
and hold in our hands, looking at the cover,
[00:16:59.509]
we can open up and we've got everything,
[00:17:01.779]
the cover pages, the copyright
[00:17:04.269]
info, all of that.
[00:17:05.709]
Again, over on the left, we'll have a table
[00:17:07.779]
of content. So if I want to, you know, maybe
[00:17:09.789]
move forward in the book and read about how
[00:17:11.959]
uh sea turtles build their nests.
[00:17:15.068]
I can just jump to that section,
[00:17:18.789]
and again, these are nice scans.
[00:17:21.088]
So sometimes you'll see it are a little spinner kind
[00:17:23.309]
of working on that for a minute. Uh It takes
[00:17:25.858]
a little time sometimes to load out, but
[00:17:28.078]
again, high quality stuff
[00:17:31.068]
So I have an entire book here about sea turtles
[00:17:35.368]
and we can check out some of our other results too.
[00:17:37.529]
We've got some video content.
[00:17:39.858]
Uh, and again, pictures
[00:17:42.509]
and these are downloadable, so
[00:17:44.699]
I can just do a right mouse click
[00:17:46.750]
copy and paste that image.
[00:17:49.000]
Um, or save it
[00:17:51.219]
You're able to work with over 9000,
[00:17:53.789]
downloadable images in the collection.
[00:17:58.449]
So when you're searching, it kind of brings
[00:18:00.568]
you across the resource,
[00:18:04.309]
Let's try another one. Say here on the water cycle.
[00:18:07.759]
And it looks like we've got some magazine hits, some
[00:18:09.900]
books.
[00:18:11.779]
Ok. And I did want to highlight the video
[00:18:14.140]
content. So these are typically
[00:18:16.618]
um you know, less than about five minutes
[00:18:18.729]
long automatically. We have
[00:18:20.769]
the closed captioning turned on, we
[00:18:22.789]
display a broadcast transcript.
[00:18:25.400]
Uh But let's go ahead and let me
[00:18:27.578]
unmute this so you can hear it.
[00:18:30.170]
326 million cubic
[00:18:32.559]
miles.
[00:18:34.029]
that's how much water there is enough.
[00:18:36.380]
But that can make a nice introduction
[00:18:38.449]
to a topic. It can again engage
[00:18:40.949]
the users, particularly the younger viewers
[00:18:43.009]
with uh with video content. And
[00:18:45.348]
of course because it's N. G. O. You're working
[00:18:47.410]
with great uh great videos
[00:18:49.739]
now let's say I want to kick off
[00:18:51.920]
a lesson about the water cycle around
[00:18:54.689]
um this video
[00:18:56.259]
I want to send my students to it.
[00:18:58.358]
There are a few different ways I can do that.
[00:19:00.719]
One is by using our get
[00:19:03.269]
link tool, get link
[00:19:05.338]
up here in the toolbar. Same place we saw the site
[00:19:07.759]
tool of the print option.
[00:19:10.410]
This will let me
[00:19:12.368]
Sorry, let me get rid of my drawings here. So I can actually
[00:19:14.400]
click it. Get link will give
[00:19:16.529]
me a persistent U. R. L. Or
[00:19:18.568]
pearl to go along
[00:19:20.689]
with this video. And this
[00:19:22.890]
is just A U. R. L. So I can put
[00:19:24.930]
it wherever I would normally put A U. R. L.
[00:19:27.390]
Embed it on a web page,
[00:19:29.469]
Put it in uh
[00:19:31.650]
You know they've got some sort of learning management system
[00:19:34.049]
like canvas or
[00:19:36.209]
um oh shoot what's the there's a new one
[00:19:38.618]
well new to me seesaw uh one
[00:19:40.680]
I'm hearing more and more about for younger kids.
[00:19:43.640]
You can put these links wherever a link would normally
[00:19:46.108]
go and when someone clicks it,
[00:19:48.199]
they land right here in the database
[00:19:50.250]
on this video. They don't have to
[00:19:52.699]
you know find the database,
[00:19:54.799]
find the right video and then view it,
[00:19:56.890]
they're there in one click
[00:19:58.529]
so get link is really powerful. It
[00:20:00.588]
lets you put your users right
[00:20:02.598]
where you want them and you're gonna see it more often
[00:20:04.880]
than not. It's here in individual documents.
[00:20:07.328]
But if I go back out to my results,
[00:20:09.368]
it's on this page as well. So I could
[00:20:11.618]
I could use the Git link for this page and
[00:20:13.769]
send students to it.
[00:20:15.390]
If I'm in the public library and I know,
[00:20:17.549]
you know they're working on the watch cycle. I want to help
[00:20:19.719]
support research. I can put this on
[00:20:21.900]
our web page again. I'm working
[00:20:24.410]
you know in the library as a teacher librarian.
[00:20:26.529]
I want to push this out to the third grade
[00:20:28.729]
teachers because I know they're gonna be covering water cycle
[00:20:30.828]
this year again get link
[00:20:33.130]
is a really powerful way to put folks right
[00:20:35.640]
in your library resources
[00:20:37.809]
right where you want them.
[00:20:41.000]
So let me just check the chat and Q and a
[00:20:43.049]
see if anything's come in so far.
[00:20:46.380]
It's like
[00:20:47.209]
we're in good shape. So I want to show you
[00:20:49.299]
a few more things here
[00:20:51.959]
I'm gonna jump back to that home page and show
[00:20:54.088]
you some of the browse tools because of course
[00:20:56.449]
most of our end users are gonna search,
[00:20:58.559]
you know, they know what they're after. I
[00:21:00.699]
like the browse though for discovery.
[00:21:02.750]
You know, finding something interesting. We actually
[00:21:05.019]
have found that
[00:21:06.910]
Average session time and our Nat Geo
[00:21:08.979]
database is about twice that of
[00:21:11.009]
our other databases folks just get caught up
[00:21:13.108]
in the content.
[00:21:14.328]
Um But it's also handy for you to know kind
[00:21:16.630]
of to know what's here. So
[00:21:18.670]
I loaded that title list for the eBooks
[00:21:21.019]
and actually when you're on the home page, if
[00:21:23.199]
you click into the books
[00:21:25.469]
into the browse, you get all
[00:21:27.549]
of them and you can browse right here
[00:21:29.568]
and see what's you know basically on the electronic
[00:21:31.890]
shelf. This is where the filter
[00:21:34.150]
tool can come in handy. So if I open up subjects,
[00:21:37.150]
I want animal books, I want marine animal
[00:21:39.328]
books, I want dogs, lots of lots of animal
[00:21:41.529]
content and that geo I want animal
[00:21:43.910]
rescue, I want holidays
[00:21:45.989]
just to click and it'll filter
[00:21:48.400]
and show you the results that go along with that.
[00:21:51.559]
and then if you want to keep browsing, I can just x
[00:21:53.739]
out holidays and go back
[00:21:55.959]
to subjects. Maybe I'm looking for things relating
[00:21:58.098]
to space,
[00:21:59.959]
and I can
[00:22:01.390]
again, filter
[00:22:04.598]
and then of course you've got
[00:22:07.519]
you know, the viewer. Again, you can just flip through
[00:22:09.699]
the book
[00:22:11.380]
So I wanna share this is more of a picture
[00:22:13.640]
book. Wait, let me actually get in a few pages
[00:22:15.680]
here.
[00:22:17.189]
and we'll uh
[00:22:19.729]
can kind of get a look at some of the text.
[00:22:28.289]
a little bit further in. But I think there's
[00:22:30.348]
gonna be this seems to be more of a picture book.
[00:22:32.630]
I just guessing from the cover. Uh
[00:22:34.868]
But yeah not a ton of texts but some
[00:22:36.959]
good facts. I want to start maybe here with
[00:22:39.380]
third or fourth graders Again
[00:22:41.459]
get link and drop them right into the book
[00:22:46.618]
Now I could also
[00:22:49.068]
use another tool to drop
[00:22:51.150]
them right here. Gatling is a little
[00:22:53.400]
more manual. It's universal.
[00:22:55.799]
You can take a U. R. L. Practically anywhere
[00:22:57.809]
but it's on the you know, user to kind of put
[00:23:00.019]
it where they want it
[00:23:01.660]
one of the new features we added with the
[00:23:03.848]
release this summer
[00:23:06.118]
is our shared a google classroom
[00:23:08.338]
tool.
[00:23:09.880]
So if you're already a google classroom user
[00:23:12.239]
that might, that icon might look familiar,
[00:23:14.469]
what it's gonna do is just
[00:23:16.500]
start me down the path to posting
[00:23:19.660]
to my google classroom stream.
[00:23:22.049]
So it pops up this little wizard
[00:23:24.189]
like tool
[00:23:25.519]
shared a classroom, where do I want to put
[00:23:27.598]
this? I'm gonna put it in Ms Knibloe fourth grade classroom,
[00:23:31.338]
and I'm gonna create an assignment out of
[00:23:33.479]
it, click go. And what we've
[00:23:35.618]
done here is if I open this
[00:23:37.680]
up a little more you'll see. It's just embedding
[00:23:39.900]
that get link U. R. L.
[00:23:42.449]
and forgive my very brief
[00:23:44.539]
instructions here I assign it.
[00:23:47.170]
It works for a minute. it's posted
[00:23:49.368]
to my class
[00:23:51.358]
and my students will see this pop
[00:23:53.459]
up in the classroom stream
[00:23:55.779]
and it sometimes takes a minute for
[00:23:57.838]
that link to show up on the page here.
[00:23:59.848]
I'm a little impatient, so I'm gonna jump right to class
[00:24:02.160]
work so we can see it but there it is
[00:24:04.309]
embedded
[00:24:05.719]
and with one click
[00:24:07.539]
they land on that book.
[00:24:09.799]
Hi. So fully
[00:24:12.199]
integrated with google classroom and
[00:24:14.729]
we can uh talk about other
[00:24:16.769]
L. M. S options here in a minute uh because
[00:24:19.088]
I can't quite demonstrate those on the right from
[00:24:21.140]
here but I do want to mention those so we'll
[00:24:23.209]
come back.
[00:24:24.328]
Uh talk about that.
[00:24:26.410]
Oh whoops, I'm in the wrong pages here
[00:24:28.930]
Mhm. So
[00:24:31.029]
the last thing I wanted to share
[00:24:33.420]
again is just some more of the browsing options.
[00:24:35.689]
So if I jump back to the home page again we can browse
[00:24:38.108]
all of the videos, all of the pictures,
[00:24:40.469]
those are both in the title list too.
[00:24:42.910]
So you can you know see the list there
[00:24:44.930]
or you can of course pull them right from the browse
[00:24:46.949]
list. p
[00:24:49.318]
me, We also
[00:24:51.598]
have.
[00:24:53.430]
The ability to browse magazines
[00:24:55.568]
and oops I guess so I didn't make my circle quite big
[00:24:57.588]
enough explore topics here from
[00:24:59.729]
the toolbar on the home page and
[00:25:01.969]
the Browse magazines is exactly that you
[00:25:04.098]
can browse the issues that are in
[00:25:06.150]
in the resource. So again we go back to
[00:25:08.368]
2009.
[00:25:10.029]
and we do have a bit of an embargo. We have
[00:25:12.130]
to wait for National Geographic Kids magazine,
[00:25:14.650]
we have to wait 90 days from the
[00:25:16.660]
the date on the mass tad before we can include it
[00:25:18.719]
in the resource so you'll see a bit of a lag
[00:25:21.118]
here.
[00:25:22.108]
Uh But other than that we have all of these
[00:25:24.328]
issues so kids can just load up
[00:25:27.588]
the special forest issue and dive
[00:25:29.689]
right in and flip through it
[00:25:31.890]
and this is again the
[00:25:33.969]
whole magazine, everything is scanned
[00:25:36.019]
here. So if I open up the table of contents
[00:25:39.259]
I can get to say all the fun puzzles
[00:25:41.719]
and trivia and stuff like that. That's in every
[00:25:43.789]
issue. And again, you can always print
[00:25:45.979]
out from the content. So I could make maybe
[00:25:48.479]
a, you know, fun activity in the library
[00:25:50.979]
or maybe something in the classroom,
[00:25:53.769]
You know share some artwork uh that kids
[00:25:55.979]
have submitted. So you know you've got
[00:25:58.108]
the whole thing here, there's tons of great
[00:26:00.199]
content here,
[00:26:02.400]
and then the explore topics just is
[00:26:04.439]
more of a discovery tool, kind of hits the six
[00:26:06.519]
major areas that Nat Geo uh really,
[00:26:09.269]
you know, kind of specializes in and highlights
[00:26:11.719]
some of the content in this case relating to the environment.
[00:26:15.189]
So again just a nice discovery. If kids
[00:26:17.259]
have a choice maybe in what they're, you know researching.
[00:26:20.088]
This can be a fun way for them to find something too.
[00:26:22.410]
So really brows
[00:26:24.259]
uh resource. But
[00:26:26.368]
of course search is often
[00:26:28.479]
our favorite. So kids kind of dive in.
[00:26:30.489]
If I'm looking for manatee
[00:26:32.670]
is my favorite.
[00:26:34.049]
Can dive right in
[00:26:37.630]
So let me check the chat and the Q.
[00:26:39.709]
And A. And I think we're in good shape.
[00:26:41.969]
I want to talk to you about support and other learning
[00:26:44.170]
management systems. So I'm gonna pop back to the power
[00:26:46.608]
point here for a minute.
[00:26:48.039]
So we saw the google classroom integration.
[00:26:50.250]
This can also integrate into
[00:26:52.410]
tools like cannabis school
[00:26:54.299]
G. Blackboard um
[00:26:56.348]
with resources that are L.
[00:26:58.410]
T. I. At least one point. Oh compliant
[00:27:01.630]
You can actually embed the
[00:27:03.699]
content into the learning management
[00:27:06.059]
system. So the student doesn't even leave that
[00:27:08.140]
environment. They don't go out to the database.
[00:27:10.750]
The database kind of comes to them through
[00:27:13.039]
the L. M. S. So this is what this article
[00:27:15.338]
on dolphins would look like inside
[00:27:17.769]
uh an assignment or
[00:27:19.799]
uh um materials inside canvas
[00:27:22.160]
are school so it is
[00:27:24.189]
a great way to again kind of keep
[00:27:26.368]
them in the regular school environment
[00:27:28.489]
but bring this library content to
[00:27:30.500]
them. And the nice thing is it counts.
[00:27:32.969]
You get that usage uh counts
[00:27:35.529]
in your use reports on the databases
[00:27:37.809]
even if it comes to them through the L. M. S. So
[00:27:39.979]
that's what the L. T. I. Integration
[00:27:42.449]
uh really does for you. So you want
[00:27:44.608]
to know more about this, That's what I'm
[00:27:46.618]
gonna recommend you get in touch with your Gale team.
[00:27:48.848]
So let's talk a bit about support.
[00:27:51.519]
support dot Gale dot com slash
[00:27:53.680]
c. A. K. 12 will take
[00:27:55.890]
you to our custom support site for the California
[00:27:58.848]
uh statewide program that Gale is a part
[00:28:01.019]
of you can generate your access
[00:28:03.039]
U. R. L. S. You can get all of our database
[00:28:05.779]
icons. Mark records, things like that, the
[00:28:07.848]
title lists
[00:28:09.140]
um All of our training materials,
[00:28:11.180]
our free market. materials to help
[00:28:13.535]
you know boost usage. Lots of good
[00:28:15.674]
stuff out there. And the things like tutorials
[00:28:18.084]
are for the end users talk to them about
[00:28:20.114]
how to use the site tool, um how
[00:28:22.213]
to use get link, that type of thing. So some
[00:28:24.434]
good stuff to share with your teachers with students
[00:28:26.664]
with patrons. Um Lots
[00:28:29.184]
of things you don't have to recreate the wheel. We've done
[00:28:31.334]
a lot of the work
[00:28:33.519]
And then of course when you've got questions, you can always
[00:28:35.858]
reach out to your Gale team. Again, I'm your trainer.
[00:28:38.098]
You'll get a follow up email from me tomorrow
[00:28:40.180]
around this time. Uh That gives you
[00:28:42.269]
all of this contact info, our support site,
[00:28:44.489]
all of that. Um And you can
[00:28:46.529]
feel free to reach out to me if I don't have the answer.
[00:28:48.578]
I'm a librarian too. So I know where to go to get
[00:28:50.848]
it. Um If you want to dig in on that learning
[00:28:53.009]
management system uh integration,
[00:28:55.199]
then your customer success manager is a good
[00:28:57.209]
person to get to know. They really regardless
[00:28:59.959]
are a good person to get to know at gale. They can
[00:29:02.019]
help with usage questions, access
[00:29:04.380]
database questions and
[00:29:06.469]
they specialize by library type. So if you're in
[00:29:08.489]
a K. 12 setting, that's who they work with all the
[00:29:10.568]
time and can understand your challenges,
[00:29:13.259]
same thing in a in a public library
[00:29:15.930]
uh you can also reach out of course always to your
[00:29:17.939]
Gale account rep, they're great, you
[00:29:20.019]
know, they have font of information.
[00:29:22.039]
and uh they have
[00:29:24.118]
uh the ability usually to come visit you should
[00:29:26.289]
you need that. So they're generally more local.
[00:29:29.039]
Uh And then of course our tech support is available,
[00:29:31.338]
you can get us at the 800 number. And tech
[00:29:33.420]
support is option four on the phone menu.
[00:29:35.858]
So if you're experiencing an issue or anything
[00:29:37.939]
it's always I think good to talk to them right then
[00:29:40.118]
when it's happening so I love the 800
[00:29:42.229]
number but you can also get in touch with them via email
[00:29:44.660]
uh and they'll get back to you as quickly as possible
[00:29:46.838]
so no shortage of places
[00:29:49.118]
to go for help. Don't suffer in silence. Do
[00:29:51.279]
reach out when you've got questions or be
[00:29:53.309]
bad for us.
[00:29:55.199]
and with that I'll say thank you so much for tuning
[00:29:57.539]
in today, I'm gonna stick around and see if there are
[00:29:59.640]
any more questions. Uh But again
[00:30:01.930]
keep an eye out for that email that will come to you around
[00:30:03.969]
this time tomorrow with a follow up
[00:30:05.989]
from the session. So
[00:30:08.239]
uh thanks everybody for tuning in.
[00:30:10.259]
I hope this was helpful and that the uh resource
[00:30:12.848]
will come in handy to you, um certainly
[00:30:14.880]
this school year, but really any time
[00:30:17.039]
and that the improvements we made to it
[00:30:19.180]
um work well for you and your users.
[00:30:21.680]
Thanks everybody.
All right. Hello and welcome everybody.
[00:00:04.059]
I'm Stacey Knibloe your Gale trainer
[00:00:06.219]
for California. Glad to be
[00:00:08.358]
with you to take a look at our
[00:00:10.618]
uh National Geographic Resource.
[00:00:12.919]
Uh We have a good amount of time to cover
[00:00:15.099]
what we want. So do feel free to use the chat,
[00:00:17.388]
the Q. And A. If you want
[00:00:19.440]
to make sure there's anything I'm gonna cover
[00:00:21.519]
or uh of course I have any questions.
[00:00:24.339]
I am happy to take those
[00:00:26.579]
along the way. Uh Or of course
[00:00:28.818]
right now so
[00:00:30.609]
let's talk a little bit we want
[00:00:32.668]
to uh in this session our
[00:00:34.719]
engaging young science learners with National
[00:00:36.959]
Geographic Kids is give you a quick
[00:00:39.399]
resource refresher. So this has been
[00:00:41.490]
available for a little while but I just want to remind
[00:00:43.750]
you what's there and then really we're gonna spend
[00:00:45.889]
most of our time in the resource. We had
[00:00:47.978]
a release this summer that updated the
[00:00:50.039]
interface, added some new tools
[00:00:52.289]
uh and we really wanted to provide.
[00:00:54.829]
just a little info on uh what's new
[00:00:57.319]
but also make sure you're comfortable with all the tools
[00:00:59.429]
that are that are already there and are aware
[00:01:01.590]
of all the content and how you can put it to
[00:01:03.649]
work in the library in the classroom.
[00:01:05.588]
We'll also talk about sharing content
[00:01:07.790]
from the resource getting in front of students
[00:01:09.959]
and other learners. Uh and always
[00:01:12.269]
and as always we'll wrap up with the support
[00:01:14.448]
you can receive from Gale when you've got
[00:01:16.500]
questions about any of these resources,
[00:01:19.668]
So again just to kind of make
[00:01:21.689]
sure I hit the things you want to see, feel
[00:01:23.730]
free to make use of the chat, you should
[00:01:25.948]
be able to send me chats now.
[00:01:28.010]
I think it might have been disabled earlier in the session
[00:01:30.790]
zoom seems to be resetting that every
[00:01:32.930]
time I start a webinar. So
[00:01:35.308]
um feel free to send me a chat there or
[00:01:37.549]
use the uh Q. And a tool and I'm
[00:01:39.569]
happy to uh make sure I cover
[00:01:41.730]
anything you want to see. This is really your session
[00:01:45.909]
And the resources um
[00:01:48.159]
that National Geographic is a part of
[00:01:50.379]
come to you through the California, K-12
[00:01:52.459]
online content project and
[00:01:54.799]
you can of course access the resources there but
[00:01:56.939]
we have set up access for each school
[00:01:58.980]
district and public library in California.
[00:02:01.689]
Uh again I'm gonna share our, you know, support
[00:02:03.730]
when we wrap up.
[00:02:05.549]
you can generate your access U. R. L. S. And
[00:02:07.668]
get lots of other good stuff on our support site.
[00:02:10.338]
Uh The nice thing about these resources is
[00:02:12.490]
they're all geo
[00:02:13.490]
authenticated meaning if they
[00:02:15.580]
know you're in California, they just
[00:02:17.610]
let you in. No need for passwords
[00:02:19.969]
or library card numbers or anything.
[00:02:22.069]
Um We can also set up off the other authentication
[00:02:24.479]
methods if uh there are ones that
[00:02:26.599]
interest your institution. Uh But
[00:02:29.000]
G. O. Is uh kind of our default
[00:02:31.118]
for our California resources.
[00:02:34.179]
and of course one of those is National Geographic
[00:02:36.879]
Kids. So kind of an evergreen tool.
[00:02:39.240]
Uh One of the librarians I work with
[00:02:41.278]
always likes to say you never outgrow National
[00:02:43.508]
Geographic Kids. Um and I think that's
[00:02:45.550]
true, it's great content.
[00:02:47.919]
Um You of course have the magazine and the
[00:02:49.969]
collection and we have that going back to
[00:02:52.038]
2009. So you can browse past
[00:02:54.250]
issues um and of course find
[00:02:56.460]
content to help support uh research
[00:02:59.058]
and instruction. You also
[00:03:01.229]
have over 200 videos for National
[00:03:03.538]
Geographic, a great kind of starting point
[00:03:05.719]
grab kids attention. Uh if they're
[00:03:07.849]
more kind of visual learners, you've
[00:03:10.088]
got over 650 full text
[00:03:12.399]
eBooks and the collection as well published
[00:03:14.729]
by Nat Geo
[00:03:16.129]
and over 900 downloadable.
[00:03:18.645]
Images, which is nice. Um The uh
[00:03:20.663]
content from Net of course is
[00:03:23.074]
outstanding. Um and they are
[00:03:25.205]
very protective of it, we'll talk about it uh that
[00:03:27.615]
a little bit more when we get into the resource too. But
[00:03:29.925]
those downloadable images are
[00:03:32.074]
really handy because it's not generally something they
[00:03:34.183]
like to do. So we're pleased to be able to offer
[00:03:36.324]
those.
[00:03:37.278]
This resource has unlimited use
[00:03:39.360]
so you can get in there and use it as much as you like.
[00:03:41.990]
The magazine. The eBooks are
[00:03:44.250]
all kind of varied reading levels. We'll
[00:03:46.349]
talk a bit more about that too when we get in there.
[00:03:48.899]
Uh But it's available to everybody at your
[00:03:50.929]
school. So if you've got an eighth grader you wanna put in
[00:03:52.979]
this resource, they of course have
[00:03:55.149]
have access to it. You have an adult you want to put
[00:03:57.199]
in this resource, everybody's got access.
[00:03:59.979]
So
[00:04:01.179]
with that let's go ahead and take a look at the new
[00:04:03.189]
interface. It is. Um
[00:04:06.088]
something that released this summer and it just
[00:04:08.308]
happened automatically. There was no need
[00:04:10.649]
for um our uh libraries
[00:04:13.050]
or schools to do anything. It just launched
[00:04:15.830]
uh with some enhancements and again
[00:04:18.119]
here's that California K 12 online pro
[00:04:20.129]
content project page and can
[00:04:22.149]
see the G resources Britannic,
[00:04:24.189]
all of their uh digital resources available
[00:04:26.358]
over here on the right, you can always get them from there.
[00:04:28.829]
However, I'm not coming to you from California
[00:04:31.579]
so the geo authentication won't work for me. I've
[00:04:33.678]
gone ahead and just launched our menu
[00:04:35.809]
here so I can get into the Resource
[00:04:40.269]
So the home page has
[00:04:42.379]
a different look and feel but
[00:04:44.470]
really what's there hasn't changed. The
[00:04:46.579]
home page of really most
[00:04:48.678]
scale resources are there to give
[00:04:50.809]
you a chance to dive right in with a search
[00:04:53.129]
when you know your topic and you're off and running
[00:04:55.449]
but also wants to encourage discovery.
[00:04:57.608]
So we give you some browse options here. You can
[00:04:59.660]
browse some magazine articles
[00:05:01.988]
that our editors have chosen to highlight.
[00:05:04.290]
You can browse some book content
[00:05:07.254]
videos, pictures, just
[00:05:09.605]
things to grab attention. We usually change
[00:05:11.754]
the home page out every month or so
[00:05:13.915]
just to give um you know a fresh
[00:05:16.553]
look at content uh for users who are
[00:05:18.803]
in here often. Uh But it's a great
[00:05:20.983]
way too to just kind of realize what's
[00:05:23.045]
here. The home page is showing
[00:05:25.324]
you, you've got the magazine, you've got books, you've got videos
[00:05:27.814]
and so on. So it's a nice reinforcement
[00:05:30.653]
if you're not familiar with the resource to kind
[00:05:32.665]
of get to know what's here.
[00:05:34.858]
Uh So we are gonna dive right in with
[00:05:37.170]
a search and then we'll talk about some of the
[00:05:39.230]
new features and working with results.
[00:05:41.639]
Uh We're gonna come back to the home page and browse a little
[00:05:43.850]
bit though there are a few tips I want to share for
[00:05:46.178]
uh our teacher librarians, our librarians,
[00:05:48.259]
our teachers um that may
[00:05:50.420]
uh they may find candy. So let's dive in
[00:05:52.500]
right though, let's say we've got a student who
[00:05:55.000]
uh is uh maybe a first, you
[00:05:57.170]
know, , researching an animal.
[00:06:00.088]
And they're gonna go with sea
[00:06:02.170]
tour toles.
[00:06:03.970]
So sending your search out
[00:06:06.149]
is gonna look across all of the different types
[00:06:08.399]
of content in the resource
[00:06:10.738]
and like most of our databases
[00:06:12.769]
we break down the content
[00:06:15.028]
by
[00:06:16.100]
the types of sources it's coming
[00:06:18.108]
from. So you'll see here across
[00:06:20.269]
the top. We used to do this down the left hand
[00:06:22.449]
side in the previous interface. Now we've
[00:06:24.569]
just pushed it to the top, you can get a quick
[00:06:26.588]
summary of how many hits you have.
[00:06:28.764]
And again, where they're coming from. So we find
[00:06:30.915]
of course magazine articles, books,
[00:06:33.233]
videos, pictures, magazine covers,
[00:06:35.574]
even which is something special.
[00:06:37.975]
We do for national geographic content.
[00:06:40.035]
They are generally so uh recognizable
[00:06:42.975]
by covers. They kind of stick. If I jump
[00:06:45.004]
down a bit we can see those. So basically
[00:06:47.225]
what I did was find any covers that had sea turtles
[00:06:49.463]
on them. Uh so I Oh yes, that's
[00:06:51.595]
the issue I wanted and I can dive right in.
[00:06:53.713]
So something kind of fun with the magazine
[00:06:56.165]
covers,
[00:06:57.608]
but really the good stuff kind of appears
[00:06:59.730]
uh well it's all good stuff. Uh but the
[00:07:01.769]
uh the content you might be using if you're writing an animal
[00:07:04.079]
report is probably gonna appear up top. So
[00:07:06.209]
magazine articles, books and so on are all
[00:07:08.588]
kind of how we get started.
[00:07:10.959]
and
[00:07:13.009]
you'll see over on the right, you have the ability
[00:07:15.298]
to filter your results so you can choose
[00:07:17.480]
things like subjects person
[00:07:20.100]
by or about if it should be you
[00:07:22.178]
know need it for that result. Uh document
[00:07:24.869]
type, this kind of thing you can really
[00:07:27.540]
filter in but it is
[00:07:29.649]
a smaller collection so that's there
[00:07:31.829]
if you need it. But generally we find with
[00:07:33.858]
National Geographic Kids you can kind of jump right into
[00:07:36.059]
your results
[00:07:37.678]
uh the magazine, let's go ahead and take a look
[00:07:39.838]
closer look at these. So we show just a couple
[00:07:42.379]
quick thumbnail views of the first three
[00:07:44.470]
results. If I click on more kids magazine
[00:07:47.019]
or even just the header here,
[00:07:49.048]
I'll jump right it and can view all 60 of
[00:07:51.178]
those articles,
[00:07:53.069]
and again you get the thumbnail view of the pages
[00:07:55.290]
where your articles are on. Um So some
[00:07:57.358]
of them we can see like this first one art
[00:07:59.500]
zone I can see there's you know an image of a of
[00:08:01.619]
a turtle there. That's why I got this one back. So you
[00:08:03.699]
kind of these visual cues
[00:08:05.619]
but we are sorting by newest articles.
[00:08:07.949]
So you get kind of the newest contact first
[00:08:10.309]
which you know, typical, you're looking at science things. Science
[00:08:12.608]
related is a good thing.
[00:08:14.470]
Uh, but what we can also do is there's
[00:08:16.720]
a sort by option,
[00:08:18.569]
uh above our results. So I could change
[00:08:20.889]
that and you know, depending on your search,
[00:08:22.988]
you may need that trick in in your pocket.
[00:08:25.048]
So I'm gonna go ahead and choose relevance in
[00:08:27.108]
this case. And what it will do is just kind of push
[00:08:29.528]
my sea turtle articles up to the top
[00:08:32.408]
I also filtering by subjects could
[00:08:34.529]
have done the same thing. So she's usually more than one
[00:08:36.639]
way to do things in our resources.
[00:08:38.700]
But now I can kind of see these articles that are
[00:08:40.779]
all about sea turtles right up to
[00:08:42.830]
the top of my page,
[00:08:44.798]
and one of the uh ways
[00:08:46.869]
that we work with National Geographic
[00:08:49.369]
is to stay true to
[00:08:51.658]
their original publications. So
[00:08:54.099]
with all of the magazines the books
[00:08:56.418]
you're gonna actually view it like you would if
[00:08:58.450]
you've taken it off the shelf and are flipping through
[00:09:00.739]
it. Two page view. It's kind
[00:09:02.798]
of like we're working with a P. D. F. Here, everything's
[00:09:04.879]
been scanned. Um Of course they do
[00:09:06.960]
a really nice job with that. Um Really
[00:09:08.969]
high quality scans uh And
[00:09:11.070]
it just mimics what you would have in the print experience.
[00:09:14.710]
And we find the end users like that as
[00:09:16.750]
well. You know, the act of kind of flipping through the
[00:09:18.820]
magazine, flipping through a book. We've got that here.
[00:09:21.779]
And we did update the viewer
[00:09:24.190]
that we're using here. It is uh, it works
[00:09:26.369]
better with different accessibility tools. So
[00:09:28.548]
if you're using screen reader or
[00:09:30.570]
or other kind of browser tools, um, to
[00:09:32.750]
reach every learner. This new interface,
[00:09:35.580]
not only the viewer, but just other changes
[00:09:37.619]
we make kind of upped our um, compliance
[00:09:40.335]
with different accessibility tools.
[00:09:42.433]
Um, we have more details on that on our website.
[00:09:44.875]
Actually, if you scroll to the bottom, let me go back
[00:09:47.104]
out uh, to the results here. If you
[00:09:49.154]
scroll to the bottom of most of our pages,
[00:09:51.423]
there's a link out to our accessibility
[00:09:53.604]
statement
[00:09:55.418]
right at the bottom of the page. Plus you can get
[00:09:57.469]
to our V. A. Directory. So if you really need
[00:09:59.639]
to get into the weeds on accessibility
[00:10:01.649]
we've got a lot of great content here. And then of course
[00:10:03.788]
you can always reach out to the Gale team.
[00:10:06.399]
Um But let's jump back into the article
[00:10:08.408]
here. So
[00:10:10.580]
the viewer allows um
[00:10:13.519]
for a lot of kind of um, interaction
[00:10:16.219]
with the uh, with the images,
[00:10:18.349]
we have the arrows over here on the right and left,
[00:10:20.599]
so I can flip through it or I on
[00:10:22.960]
a um
[00:10:24.849]
uh, touch screen, I'd be able to actually
[00:10:26.960]
flip to swipe my finger and slip uh, swipe
[00:10:29.369]
the pages through.
[00:10:31.058]
Uh, you also have tools, let me just
[00:10:33.070]
go ahead and circle them embedded
[00:10:35.190]
right in the images to let you interact
[00:10:37.599]
with them. So no separate toolbar
[00:10:39.719]
or anything.
[00:10:40.979]
And really my favorite of these
[00:10:43.119]
is this kind of four co four
[00:10:45.229]
corners icon. What that's
[00:10:47.288]
gonna do. It may look familiar, it's often
[00:10:49.389]
used
[00:10:50.399]
to switch into full screen mode.
[00:10:52.538]
So we can have the magazine kind of take over
[00:10:54.798]
our screen and instead of
[00:10:56.849]
getting you know all of the database
[00:10:59.320]
headers and other stuff,
[00:11:01.570]
I just get the magazine right. I've got the
[00:11:03.619]
arrows to navigate through it. I have a plus
[00:11:05.979]
and a minus here to zoom in or out.
[00:11:08.178]
I need to I want to get a closer look at this.
[00:11:10.700]
Um uh wrinkle butt,
[00:11:12.779]
uh
[00:11:13.729]
uh turtle, I can zoom
[00:11:16.080]
right in,
[00:11:17.009]
I can zoom back out and then we
[00:11:19.038]
do have a text to speech tool
[00:11:21.259]
and it is working
[00:11:23.308]
with the text that's kind of behind the scenes
[00:11:26.149]
so we can go ahead and turn that
[00:11:28.168]
on
[00:11:29.340]
slippery swimmers. The idea that
[00:11:31.399]
sea turtles are plotting and ungraceful
[00:11:33.678]
proves untrue. As soon as biologist,
[00:11:36.080]
my house tries to catch a three ft
[00:11:38.210]
long, £350
[00:11:40.869]
go stop though. Uh,
[00:11:42.950]
but great tool to be able to again reach
[00:11:45.259]
more learners if we have kids who are maybe
[00:11:47.678]
absorbed more when they're listening rather than reading,
[00:11:49.979]
you've got that that tool as well.
[00:11:52.840]
All right so the full screen would be really handy
[00:11:55.759]
but let me go back to the database view,
[00:11:59.239]
And I'll show you some other tools here.
[00:12:01.428]
So over on the left, we
[00:12:03.538]
have um, basically
[00:12:05.658]
the details around the article. I can open
[00:12:07.798]
up the table of contents and
[00:12:10.418]
actually get to the whole issue
[00:12:12.849]
because again, it's staying true to the print.
[00:12:15.538]
What it did was really just opens us up
[00:12:17.960]
to
[00:12:19.058]
this sea turtle article in this issue.
[00:12:21.479]
If I go back another page, you'll see. We're actually
[00:12:23.889]
in the magazine. So this is the previous o article
[00:12:26.408]
about Otters.
[00:12:27.580]
So the table of contents here just lets you browse
[00:12:29.960]
through that whole magazine if you'd like or get
[00:12:32.048]
back to where you need to be.
[00:12:33.859]
You can search within the article,
[00:12:35.918]
it's also gonna show you where your search term
[00:12:38.149]
hits are. So of course this whole article
[00:12:40.428]
is about sea turtles. Uh so,
[00:12:42.639]
you know, all pages mention it,
[00:12:44.719]
but this can be handy if you are, you
[00:12:46.759]
know, maybe there's just a mention of sea turtles in another
[00:12:49.019]
article about, you know, uh marine
[00:12:51.058]
life or something. We can zero in on that
[00:12:54.288]
then there's a quick dictionary look up. We're
[00:12:56.349]
using Merriam Webster's uh, kids dictionary
[00:12:58.500]
here. So you can pull a term maybe from the article
[00:13:00.609]
and search here.
[00:13:02.298]
and then our full citation for the
[00:13:04.399]
article. So what issue is it coming from
[00:13:06.599]
the author? All of those things kids would need
[00:13:08.798]
if they were going to, you know, build a work
[00:13:10.989]
cited uh page or bibliography,
[00:13:13.690]
although we have another trick in our book for that.
[00:13:15.798]
Let me go ahead. And
[00:13:18.450]
point it out here,
[00:13:20.710]
our site tool actually builds
[00:13:22.750]
a citation for students.
[00:13:24.769]
So of course this is always important in research.
[00:13:27.239]
We want to know where we got, you know,
[00:13:29.379]
our information.
[00:13:30.759]
And the site tool uses four
[00:13:33.090]
different citation styles M L A
[00:13:35.489]
a p a Chicago and Harvard
[00:13:37.590]
that I could just copy and paste and put right
[00:13:39.678]
in my bibliography. So depending
[00:13:41.750]
on the age of the user you're working with,
[00:13:43.820]
you know, especially in elementary school, they may
[00:13:45.940]
not be familiar with these specific styles
[00:13:48.009]
yet, but they can build their citations
[00:13:50.524]
from the full citation over there on the left. But if
[00:13:52.604]
we're working with say 1/7 grader, you
[00:13:54.764]
know, this might be something they're starting to learn about
[00:13:56.783]
different styles. May have particular needs from
[00:13:59.104]
uh, the classroom, uh, around
[00:14:01.264]
styles. They can pull this,
[00:14:03.303]
put it right through their bibliography or export
[00:14:05.484]
out to these tools here, like noodle tools,
[00:14:07.585]
easy bib and so on.
[00:14:10.009]
And so really handy make it easy
[00:14:12.210]
for them to cite their sources.
[00:14:15.250]
Now I mentioned before, we are a little
[00:14:17.259]
limited. Um, there are some restrictions
[00:14:19.428]
that Nat Geo places on us,
[00:14:21.450]
you'll notice really. The only thing we can do
[00:14:23.538]
with this article aside from of course reading it on
[00:14:25.619]
the screen is print it, it's gonna give
[00:14:27.710]
you the option to print now
[00:14:29.769]
by default it is printing the
[00:14:31.908]
whole issue, so you can just change
[00:14:33.928]
that to the pages of the article. So this one
[00:14:36.048]
starts on page 24
[00:14:38.750]
and I think it went through, I think it was that whole
[00:14:40.960]
next page too. So what
[00:14:42.979]
a page. Uh let's see, that would be 27
[00:14:45.928]
I can print just those pages. It'll give you a preview,
[00:14:48.219]
like a P. D. F. Preview so you can make sure that's
[00:14:50.259]
what you want.
[00:14:51.340]
Um But printing is really our only option.
[00:14:53.529]
Unfortunately we can't download the magazine
[00:14:55.690]
or book content, we can't email it,
[00:14:58.200]
we can really only print it.
[00:15:00.408]
So just something that's a little different.
[00:15:02.629]
Your other databases typically don't have that restriction.
[00:15:05.489]
Um But again Nat Geo is
[00:15:07.529]
uh you know very protective of its content.
[00:15:09.719]
Um So we are uh
[00:15:12.399]
uh limiting the retrieval options
[00:15:14.519]
as we would call them here
[00:15:18.558]
All right. So there's a look at some of our results
[00:15:20.739]
for uh the mega. Well actually we just looked
[00:15:22.808]
at one. Let me jump back out to the results, but all of
[00:15:24.879]
our articles are going to mimic the same format.
[00:15:27.239]
So if I jump into the second one again,
[00:15:29.538]
the two page view, the viewer
[00:15:31.700]
tools here and here, over
[00:15:33.820]
on the left, the arrows to move between
[00:15:37.629]
And it can again you know kind of get
[00:15:39.969]
to the entire issue from here so
[00:15:42.798]
we can move through
[00:15:44.219]
some of the puzzles things like that.
[00:15:48.340]
so I'm gonna move over to book content
[00:15:50.690]
and I'm just gonna do that by using the
[00:15:52.739]
header up here at the top.
[00:15:55.239]
and we've got a few different books. Now.
[00:15:57.658]
I'm going to in the chat kind of while
[00:15:59.840]
I talk about this, load up
[00:16:02.178]
a title list for um,
[00:16:04.239]
National Geographic Kids because it
[00:16:06.340]
gives you
[00:16:08.450]
the uh
[00:16:10.548]
reading level for all of the books
[00:16:12.849]
that are in
[00:16:14.779]
this resource,
[00:16:16.808]
we can't see them here.
[00:16:19.918]
in the results. There we go. I just uploaded
[00:16:22.210]
it. Um We can't see a reading level
[00:16:24.408]
here but the covers of the book sometimes
[00:16:26.609]
are you know just a good indicator, you can see the reader
[00:16:28.719]
number. Um or you
[00:16:30.849]
know something that looks more like a picture book versus
[00:16:33.349]
you know a middle reader or something like that.
[00:16:36.239]
So covers can be you know kind of a visual
[00:16:38.428]
queue. But that title list will give
[00:16:40.548]
you a much more uh specific
[00:16:43.129]
reading level uh and grade level
[00:16:45.149]
for each of the books in the collection
[00:16:47.609]
And like our other
[00:16:50.058]
Um Meg or like our magazine viewer. The
[00:16:52.158]
book viewer is actually gonna work the same way
[00:16:54.719]
here. We've pulled the book off the shelf
[00:16:56.940]
and hold in our hands, looking at the cover,
[00:16:59.509]
we can open up and we've got everything,
[00:17:01.779]
the cover pages, the copyright
[00:17:04.269]
info, all of that.
[00:17:05.709]
Again, over on the left, we'll have a table
[00:17:07.779]
of content. So if I want to, you know, maybe
[00:17:09.789]
move forward in the book and read about how
[00:17:11.959]
uh sea turtles build their nests.
[00:17:15.068]
I can just jump to that section,
[00:17:18.789]
and again, these are nice scans.
[00:17:21.088]
So sometimes you'll see it are a little spinner kind
[00:17:23.309]
of working on that for a minute. Uh It takes
[00:17:25.858]
a little time sometimes to load out, but
[00:17:28.078]
again, high quality stuff
[00:17:31.068]
So I have an entire book here about sea turtles
[00:17:35.368]
and we can check out some of our other results too.
[00:17:37.529]
We've got some video content.
[00:17:39.858]
Uh, and again, pictures
[00:17:42.509]
and these are downloadable, so
[00:17:44.699]
I can just do a right mouse click
[00:17:46.750]
copy and paste that image.
[00:17:49.000]
Um, or save it
[00:17:51.219]
You're able to work with over 9000,
[00:17:53.789]
downloadable images in the collection.
[00:17:58.449]
So when you're searching, it kind of brings
[00:18:00.568]
you across the resource,
[00:18:04.309]
Let's try another one. Say here on the water cycle.
[00:18:07.759]
And it looks like we've got some magazine hits, some
[00:18:09.900]
books.
[00:18:11.779]
Ok. And I did want to highlight the video
[00:18:14.140]
content. So these are typically
[00:18:16.618]
um you know, less than about five minutes
[00:18:18.729]
long automatically. We have
[00:18:20.769]
the closed captioning turned on, we
[00:18:22.789]
display a broadcast transcript.
[00:18:25.400]
Uh But let's go ahead and let me
[00:18:27.578]
unmute this so you can hear it.
[00:18:30.170]
326 million cubic
[00:18:32.559]
miles.
[00:18:34.029]
that's how much water there is enough.
[00:18:36.380]
But that can make a nice introduction
[00:18:38.449]
to a topic. It can again engage
[00:18:40.949]
the users, particularly the younger viewers
[00:18:43.009]
with uh with video content. And
[00:18:45.348]
of course because it's N. G. O. You're working
[00:18:47.410]
with great uh great videos
[00:18:49.739]
now let's say I want to kick off
[00:18:51.920]
a lesson about the water cycle around
[00:18:54.689]
um this video
[00:18:56.259]
I want to send my students to it.
[00:18:58.358]
There are a few different ways I can do that.
[00:19:00.719]
One is by using our get
[00:19:03.269]
link tool, get link
[00:19:05.338]
up here in the toolbar. Same place we saw the site
[00:19:07.759]
tool of the print option.
[00:19:10.410]
This will let me
[00:19:12.368]
Sorry, let me get rid of my drawings here. So I can actually
[00:19:14.400]
click it. Get link will give
[00:19:16.529]
me a persistent U. R. L. Or
[00:19:18.568]
pearl to go along
[00:19:20.689]
with this video. And this
[00:19:22.890]
is just A U. R. L. So I can put
[00:19:24.930]
it wherever I would normally put A U. R. L.
[00:19:27.390]
Embed it on a web page,
[00:19:29.469]
Put it in uh
[00:19:31.650]
You know they've got some sort of learning management system
[00:19:34.049]
like canvas or
[00:19:36.209]
um oh shoot what's the there's a new one
[00:19:38.618]
well new to me seesaw uh one
[00:19:40.680]
I'm hearing more and more about for younger kids.
[00:19:43.640]
You can put these links wherever a link would normally
[00:19:46.108]
go and when someone clicks it,
[00:19:48.199]
they land right here in the database
[00:19:50.250]
on this video. They don't have to
[00:19:52.699]
you know find the database,
[00:19:54.799]
find the right video and then view it,
[00:19:56.890]
they're there in one click
[00:19:58.529]
so get link is really powerful. It
[00:20:00.588]
lets you put your users right
[00:20:02.598]
where you want them and you're gonna see it more often
[00:20:04.880]
than not. It's here in individual documents.
[00:20:07.328]
But if I go back out to my results,
[00:20:09.368]
it's on this page as well. So I could
[00:20:11.618]
I could use the Git link for this page and
[00:20:13.769]
send students to it.
[00:20:15.390]
If I'm in the public library and I know,
[00:20:17.549]
you know they're working on the watch cycle. I want to help
[00:20:19.719]
support research. I can put this on
[00:20:21.900]
our web page again. I'm working
[00:20:24.410]
you know in the library as a teacher librarian.
[00:20:26.529]
I want to push this out to the third grade
[00:20:28.729]
teachers because I know they're gonna be covering water cycle
[00:20:30.828]
this year again get link
[00:20:33.130]
is a really powerful way to put folks right
[00:20:35.640]
in your library resources
[00:20:37.809]
right where you want them.
[00:20:41.000]
So let me just check the chat and Q and a
[00:20:43.049]
see if anything's come in so far.
[00:20:46.380]
It's like
[00:20:47.209]
we're in good shape. So I want to show you
[00:20:49.299]
a few more things here
[00:20:51.959]
I'm gonna jump back to that home page and show
[00:20:54.088]
you some of the browse tools because of course
[00:20:56.449]
most of our end users are gonna search,
[00:20:58.559]
you know, they know what they're after. I
[00:21:00.699]
like the browse though for discovery.
[00:21:02.750]
You know, finding something interesting. We actually
[00:21:05.019]
have found that
[00:21:06.910]
Average session time and our Nat Geo
[00:21:08.979]
database is about twice that of
[00:21:11.009]
our other databases folks just get caught up
[00:21:13.108]
in the content.
[00:21:14.328]
Um But it's also handy for you to know kind
[00:21:16.630]
of to know what's here. So
[00:21:18.670]
I loaded that title list for the eBooks
[00:21:21.019]
and actually when you're on the home page, if
[00:21:23.199]
you click into the books
[00:21:25.469]
into the browse, you get all
[00:21:27.549]
of them and you can browse right here
[00:21:29.568]
and see what's you know basically on the electronic
[00:21:31.890]
shelf. This is where the filter
[00:21:34.150]
tool can come in handy. So if I open up subjects,
[00:21:37.150]
I want animal books, I want marine animal
[00:21:39.328]
books, I want dogs, lots of lots of animal
[00:21:41.529]
content and that geo I want animal
[00:21:43.910]
rescue, I want holidays
[00:21:45.989]
just to click and it'll filter
[00:21:48.400]
and show you the results that go along with that.
[00:21:51.559]
and then if you want to keep browsing, I can just x
[00:21:53.739]
out holidays and go back
[00:21:55.959]
to subjects. Maybe I'm looking for things relating
[00:21:58.098]
to space,
[00:21:59.959]
and I can
[00:22:01.390]
again, filter
[00:22:04.598]
and then of course you've got
[00:22:07.519]
you know, the viewer. Again, you can just flip through
[00:22:09.699]
the book
[00:22:11.380]
So I wanna share this is more of a picture
[00:22:13.640]
book. Wait, let me actually get in a few pages
[00:22:15.680]
here.
[00:22:17.189]
and we'll uh
[00:22:19.729]
can kind of get a look at some of the text.
[00:22:28.289]
a little bit further in. But I think there's
[00:22:30.348]
gonna be this seems to be more of a picture book.
[00:22:32.630]
I just guessing from the cover. Uh
[00:22:34.868]
But yeah not a ton of texts but some
[00:22:36.959]
good facts. I want to start maybe here with
[00:22:39.380]
third or fourth graders Again
[00:22:41.459]
get link and drop them right into the book
[00:22:46.618]
Now I could also
[00:22:49.068]
use another tool to drop
[00:22:51.150]
them right here. Gatling is a little
[00:22:53.400]
more manual. It's universal.
[00:22:55.799]
You can take a U. R. L. Practically anywhere
[00:22:57.809]
but it's on the you know, user to kind of put
[00:23:00.019]
it where they want it
[00:23:01.660]
one of the new features we added with the
[00:23:03.848]
release this summer
[00:23:06.118]
is our shared a google classroom
[00:23:08.338]
tool.
[00:23:09.880]
So if you're already a google classroom user
[00:23:12.239]
that might, that icon might look familiar,
[00:23:14.469]
what it's gonna do is just
[00:23:16.500]
start me down the path to posting
[00:23:19.660]
to my google classroom stream.
[00:23:22.049]
So it pops up this little wizard
[00:23:24.189]
like tool
[00:23:25.519]
shared a classroom, where do I want to put
[00:23:27.598]
this? I'm gonna put it in Ms Knibloe fourth grade classroom,
[00:23:31.338]
and I'm gonna create an assignment out of
[00:23:33.479]
it, click go. And what we've
[00:23:35.618]
done here is if I open this
[00:23:37.680]
up a little more you'll see. It's just embedding
[00:23:39.900]
that get link U. R. L.
[00:23:42.449]
and forgive my very brief
[00:23:44.539]
instructions here I assign it.
[00:23:47.170]
It works for a minute. it's posted
[00:23:49.368]
to my class
[00:23:51.358]
and my students will see this pop
[00:23:53.459]
up in the classroom stream
[00:23:55.779]
and it sometimes takes a minute for
[00:23:57.838]
that link to show up on the page here.
[00:23:59.848]
I'm a little impatient, so I'm gonna jump right to class
[00:24:02.160]
work so we can see it but there it is
[00:24:04.309]
embedded
[00:24:05.719]
and with one click
[00:24:07.539]
they land on that book.
[00:24:09.799]
Hi. So fully
[00:24:12.199]
integrated with google classroom and
[00:24:14.729]
we can uh talk about other
[00:24:16.769]
L. M. S options here in a minute uh because
[00:24:19.088]
I can't quite demonstrate those on the right from
[00:24:21.140]
here but I do want to mention those so we'll
[00:24:23.209]
come back.
[00:24:24.328]
Uh talk about that.
[00:24:26.410]
Oh whoops, I'm in the wrong pages here
[00:24:28.930]
Mhm. So
[00:24:31.029]
the last thing I wanted to share
[00:24:33.420]
again is just some more of the browsing options.
[00:24:35.689]
So if I jump back to the home page again we can browse
[00:24:38.108]
all of the videos, all of the pictures,
[00:24:40.469]
those are both in the title list too.
[00:24:42.910]
So you can you know see the list there
[00:24:44.930]
or you can of course pull them right from the browse
[00:24:46.949]
list. p
[00:24:49.318]
me, We also
[00:24:51.598]
have.
[00:24:53.430]
The ability to browse magazines
[00:24:55.568]
and oops I guess so I didn't make my circle quite big
[00:24:57.588]
enough explore topics here from
[00:24:59.729]
the toolbar on the home page and
[00:25:01.969]
the Browse magazines is exactly that you
[00:25:04.098]
can browse the issues that are in
[00:25:06.150]
in the resource. So again we go back to
[00:25:08.368]
2009.
[00:25:10.029]
and we do have a bit of an embargo. We have
[00:25:12.130]
to wait for National Geographic Kids magazine,
[00:25:14.650]
we have to wait 90 days from the
[00:25:16.660]
the date on the mass tad before we can include it
[00:25:18.719]
in the resource so you'll see a bit of a lag
[00:25:21.118]
here.
[00:25:22.108]
Uh But other than that we have all of these
[00:25:24.328]
issues so kids can just load up
[00:25:27.588]
the special forest issue and dive
[00:25:29.689]
right in and flip through it
[00:25:31.890]
and this is again the
[00:25:33.969]
whole magazine, everything is scanned
[00:25:36.019]
here. So if I open up the table of contents
[00:25:39.259]
I can get to say all the fun puzzles
[00:25:41.719]
and trivia and stuff like that. That's in every
[00:25:43.789]
issue. And again, you can always print
[00:25:45.979]
out from the content. So I could make maybe
[00:25:48.479]
a, you know, fun activity in the library
[00:25:50.979]
or maybe something in the classroom,
[00:25:53.769]
You know share some artwork uh that kids
[00:25:55.979]
have submitted. So you know you've got
[00:25:58.108]
the whole thing here, there's tons of great
[00:26:00.199]
content here,
[00:26:02.400]
and then the explore topics just is
[00:26:04.439]
more of a discovery tool, kind of hits the six
[00:26:06.519]
major areas that Nat Geo uh really,
[00:26:09.269]
you know, kind of specializes in and highlights
[00:26:11.719]
some of the content in this case relating to the environment.
[00:26:15.189]
So again just a nice discovery. If kids
[00:26:17.259]
have a choice maybe in what they're, you know researching.
[00:26:20.088]
This can be a fun way for them to find something too.
[00:26:22.410]
So really brows
[00:26:24.259]
uh resource. But
[00:26:26.368]
of course search is often
[00:26:28.479]
our favorite. So kids kind of dive in.
[00:26:30.489]
If I'm looking for manatee
[00:26:32.670]
is my favorite.
[00:26:34.049]
Can dive right in
[00:26:37.630]
So let me check the chat and the Q.
[00:26:39.709]
And A. And I think we're in good shape.
[00:26:41.969]
I want to talk to you about support and other learning
[00:26:44.170]
management systems. So I'm gonna pop back to the power
[00:26:46.608]
point here for a minute.
[00:26:48.039]
So we saw the google classroom integration.
[00:26:50.250]
This can also integrate into
[00:26:52.410]
tools like cannabis school
[00:26:54.299]
G. Blackboard um
[00:26:56.348]
with resources that are L.
[00:26:58.410]
T. I. At least one point. Oh compliant
[00:27:01.630]
You can actually embed the
[00:27:03.699]
content into the learning management
[00:27:06.059]
system. So the student doesn't even leave that
[00:27:08.140]
environment. They don't go out to the database.
[00:27:10.750]
The database kind of comes to them through
[00:27:13.039]
the L. M. S. So this is what this article
[00:27:15.338]
on dolphins would look like inside
[00:27:17.769]
uh an assignment or
[00:27:19.799]
uh um materials inside canvas
[00:27:22.160]
are school so it is
[00:27:24.189]
a great way to again kind of keep
[00:27:26.368]
them in the regular school environment
[00:27:28.489]
but bring this library content to
[00:27:30.500]
them. And the nice thing is it counts.
[00:27:32.969]
