Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.288]
The Gale In Context: for educators assessments.

[00:00:08.380]
My name is Amber Winters and I'm your training consultant

[00:00:10.788]
for the day.

[00:00:12.788]
So our agenda today we're here for an hour.

[00:00:15.069]
So we're going to be able to cover every single thing we

[00:00:17.158]
need to cover and we're going to be able to answer

[00:00:19.170]
every single question we have but I'm

[00:00:21.190]
going to go very briefly into what exactly

[00:00:23.489]
Gale In Context: For Educators is. I'm assuming

[00:00:25.850]
the majority of you on the line already know

[00:00:27.920]
that because this is a more advanced session.

[00:00:29.949]
But I do just want to make sure we're on equal

[00:00:32.158]
footing. When we're talking about galling context for

[00:00:34.200]
educators

[00:00:35.399]
After that. We're really going to dive right into the

[00:00:37.539]
assessments. We're going to talk about where

[00:00:39.618]
you can find them. The content

[00:00:41.679]
included, how they're graded all that good stuff.

[00:00:44.779]
We're going to launch into the resource

[00:00:46.929]
and really walk through each of those different

[00:00:49.189]
kind of bits of information as well as

[00:00:51.209]
some of the work flows. That might be helpful for you

[00:00:53.959]
And then I have put here at the very end of the session,

[00:00:56.240]
a time for questions as well as contact

[00:00:58.347]
information. But again since we have

[00:01:00.359]
an hour's worth of time, I should

[00:01:02.399]
be able to answer all of your questions as we move through

[00:01:04.430]
the session. So I don't feel like you need to wait until the very

[00:01:06.638]
end to ask your questions, just go ahead

[00:01:08.760]
and pop it into the Q. And A. And I should be able to get

[00:01:10.778]
to it So

[00:01:13.129]
first let's talk just very

[00:01:15.188]
basically what Gale In context for educators

[00:01:17.557]
is. So this is as the name would suggest

[00:01:20.069]
our educator focused resource. So

[00:01:22.299]
this is where you as an educator are going

[00:01:24.489]
to find some prebuilt lesson plans

[00:01:26.557]
spanning from social studies to science

[00:01:28.819]
literature, C T E. Social

[00:01:30.849]
emotional learn learning. The list goes

[00:01:33.073]
on. So we've created those with

[00:01:35.484]
your gale resources in mind and we've built

[00:01:37.973]
lesson plans around the content you have

[00:01:40.033]
access to and all of our content

[00:01:42.093]
is linked to both state and national standards.

[00:01:44.854]
So it's really simple to kind of pull content

[00:01:47.164]
directly related to to those different standards.

[00:01:51.277]
In addition to that. This is a really simple way for you

[00:01:53.348]
to access all of your in context

[00:01:55.408]
suites. So I do want to mention that,

[00:01:57.698]
say when we walk through my instance,

[00:01:59.799]
it might look slightly different than yours just

[00:02:02.057]
because I have a different collection

[00:02:04.239]
of in context resources than what you might have.

[00:02:06.870]
So it will search through your entire

[00:02:09.240]
in context suite though, to pull all of the content you

[00:02:11.318]
need, and again we do link everything

[00:02:13.679]
to standard. So you will be able to search or

[00:02:15.788]
browse by standard or by

[00:02:17.829]
a specific subject.

[00:02:20.468]
And finally, this resource allows for complete

[00:02:22.878]
collaboration between colleagues.

[00:02:25.250]
So we have a nice folder, organization that's going

[00:02:27.389]
to keep you organized for yourself. But

[00:02:29.429]
it's also going to let you send organized content

[00:02:31.669]
to your peers if you want to maybe work

[00:02:33.710]
back and forth or just share information that

[00:02:35.750]
you've found, you'll be able to do that.

[00:02:38.449]
And we also have a function that's going to allow you

[00:02:40.550]
to send your curated folders to students.

[00:02:43.258]
So you can build folders specifically for students

[00:02:45.449]
so they can read any materials you have,

[00:02:47.770]
And now that we've added these great assessments,

[00:02:49.960]
those folders that you can share it with. Students are

[00:02:51.968]
going to be really handy because you'll be able

[00:02:54.087]
to send that out and students will be able to complete those assessments

[00:02:56.837]
right on the platform.

[00:02:59.819]
So let's talk about them. That's why we're all here

[00:03:01.929]
today. So a very

[00:03:04.020]
basic understanding of our assessments

[00:03:06.057]
now. These are formative. They're not summ

[00:03:09.330]
but we do have assessments for every lesson

[00:03:11.367]
planned now. So if you do tend to use scaling

[00:03:13.468]
context for educators and navigate

[00:03:15.669]
through to the lesson plan section, you'll find

[00:03:17.848]
assessments attached to each of those.

[00:03:21.128]
They are also accessible through search

[00:03:23.139]
and browse. So our assessments

[00:03:25.307]
are related to one piece of content. Maybe

[00:03:27.568]
it's a video, maybe it's a reading.

[00:03:29.669]
And the lesson plan will utilize that piece of

[00:03:31.728]
content and we utilize that assessment.

[00:03:34.649]
So you will be able to not only find it attached

[00:03:36.688]
to the lesson plan, but you'll also be able

[00:03:38.829]
to access it through searching and browsing

[00:03:40.848]
and finding pieces of content with

[00:03:43.307]
those assessments attached and we'll take a look

[00:03:45.449]
what's great is we've made a little flag to make it really

[00:03:47.468]
easy for you to see what exactly

[00:03:49.490]
has an assessment and what doesn't.

[00:03:52.367]
And finally I recently added bits

[00:03:54.508]
is going to be the student assessment. Sign in

[00:03:56.587]
because of course if they don't sign in, we can't give

[00:03:58.628]
you their grades. So we do have

[00:04:00.658]
a nice student sign in now that's going to

[00:04:02.818]
allow them to take their to

[00:04:04.818]
take their assessment submit it for

[00:04:06.919]
you and then you're going to see it right on the platform.

[00:04:10.899]
So a few features for our assessments.

[00:04:13.139]
First off, it's going to be five questions.

[00:04:15.158]
So again, it's really a nice little formative

[00:04:17.588]
quiz. It's not going to be a full long

[00:04:19.879]
summ of exam, but it's five

[00:04:21.980]
questions and it's going to be kind of a mix

[00:04:24.237]
of multiple choice, true or false

[00:04:26.600]
fill in the blank or short answer.

[00:04:28.660]
So you may have you know, three

[00:04:30.677]
multiple choice, you may have one, you may have two, it's

[00:04:32.829]
going to vary depending on what quiz you're

[00:04:34.838]
looking at, but you will have five questions

[00:04:37.220]
in total to ask students.

[00:04:41.028]
and when you do decide to send out this assessment,

[00:04:43.649]
you can actually get different links for different groups.

[00:04:46.278]
So of course a lot of individuals choose

[00:04:48.449]
to break it up by hours, so your

[00:04:50.579]
first hour, first hour will have a separate

[00:04:52.920]
link in your second hour. so you

[00:04:55.069]
get your grading results separately from

[00:04:57.129]
each other so it's really easy to transition

[00:04:59.509]
that to wherever you need it to go But of course

[00:05:01.548]
you can break it up in a different way if you have

[00:05:04.028]
some different groups within one hour and you want

[00:05:06.088]
to break up their grades, you can do that.

[00:05:08.129]
this is completely editable by you and

[00:05:10.230]
you can add as many or as few

[00:05:12.649]
class links as you want to. And you'll

[00:05:14.720]
see in my screenshot here, not only can

[00:05:16.737]
you just pull a link and share that out with the students, you can

[00:05:18.759]
also share it out on google classroom.

[00:05:20.920]
So if you prefer to do it that way, we still have

[00:05:23.000]
that feature that capability right there.

[00:05:26.269]
and finally you're going to have student results

[00:05:28.350]
right on the platform and your student results

[00:05:30.677]
are going to be found under the my class

[00:05:32.778]
resources section. So just like where

[00:05:34.899]
your folders are, we've decided to put all

[00:05:37.149]
of the assessment results there as well to make it really

[00:05:39.379]
simple for you to find them

[00:05:41.798]
and kind of take a look whenever you need them.

[00:05:46.459]
now. I really want to dive in so we can see the different

[00:05:48.737]
workloads that are going to help you guys utilize

[00:05:50.778]
this content but before I do are

[00:05:52.879]
there any questions just about this basic

[00:05:55.028]
information that I went over.

[00:06:02.358]
Ok.

[00:06:03.949]
I don't see any. So let's go ahead and get rolling.

[00:06:06.028]
Then let me make sure I wasn't signed out here.

[00:06:08.129]
I've left left this open on my browser for a bit,

[00:06:10.338]
nope, I'm still signed in

[00:06:12.449]
So I'm here on my home page. I've already signed

[00:06:14.730]
in just to save us a little bit of time.

[00:06:17.048]
I first want to show you

[00:06:18.910]
what these quizzes are going to look like within

[00:06:21.048]
lesson plans. Again, we have included

[00:06:23.230]
assessments for every single lesson plan,

[00:06:25.309]
so a lot of times. That's a great way to find assessments

[00:06:27.709]
for the most part. So instead

[00:06:30.139]
of searching right now I'm actually going to go up

[00:06:32.220]
here to my lessons plan option

[00:06:37.119]
once I click into this here, it's going to take a quick

[00:06:39.250]
second to load. I want to remind everyone

[00:06:41.278]
you can narrow down here using our filters,

[00:06:43.600]
so it's going to default to showing you every

[00:06:45.838]
single lesson plan we have, which is going to be

[00:06:48.100]
K through 12 every subject.

[00:06:50.319]
So as you can imagine, it's a lot looks like right

[00:06:52.439]
now we're at 1113

[00:06:54.808]
lesson plans.

[00:06:56.100]
So if you are planning on going through this route,

[00:06:58.177]
I would suggest narrowing it down. Maybe you want to

[00:07:00.189]
choose a subject area, you'll

[00:07:02.298]
see if we can take a look at this scroll down,

[00:07:04.358]
see what's important to us. maybe

[00:07:06.927]
we want to take a look at media literacy today, Maybe

[00:07:08.987]
we're running a on that, so I can click

[00:07:11.170]
that and I'll have to apply

[00:07:14.699]
And again this workflow hasn't changed. It's

[00:07:16.838]
just now you're going to be able to find assessments

[00:07:18.889]
a bit a bit more easily.

[00:07:21.278]
So um let's today we'll go into decoding,

[00:07:23.759]
media bias here.

[00:07:27.410]
And this is an older grade

[00:07:29.459]
level. Looking like this target grade is 11 through 12.

[00:07:32.509]
But you'll see here now on my assessment,

[00:07:34.750]
on my lesson plan under

[00:07:36.829]
my tools, I have this little

[00:07:38.970]
assessments button here.

[00:07:41.269]
And so this is telling me that I have an assessment attached

[00:07:43.608]
to this,

[00:07:44.519]
you'll see what the name of the assessment is right

[00:07:46.588]
here.

[00:07:49.858]
and you can click on the title to get a preview.

[00:07:51.959]
So this is what your students will be clicking through,

[00:07:58.619]
but before we do anything with this, we

[00:08:00.677]
need to put it in a folder. Remember anything you

[00:08:02.819]
use within Gale In Context: For Educators.

[00:08:05.220]
you need to save it for yourself for later.

[00:08:07.399]
So let's add this to a folder so we can

[00:08:09.500]
start to work with this quiz here.

[00:08:11.427]
So I'm going to add to a folder up top

[00:08:13.500]
here, I'm going to create a new one.

[00:08:18.889]
just like always, you'll see you have all of your folders

[00:08:21.309]
attached here.

[00:08:22.677]
Um I'm just going to

[00:08:25.230]
add that here

[00:08:27.028]
and now you'll see we get this pop up now we have

[00:08:29.079]
the option to add lesson plan, add the

[00:08:31.100]
lesson plan and resources or add lesson

[00:08:33.440]
plan resources and assessments.

[00:08:36.389]
So if you are going to use

[00:08:38.450]
assessments, you're going to assign them to students, make sure

[00:08:40.609]
you always utilize this option

[00:08:42.849]
right here. This bottom one. So I'm going to go ahead

[00:08:44.960]
and click that and it's going to stay up to my new

[00:08:47.090]
folder here.

[00:08:49.408]
and it looks like we have a question from

[00:08:51.989]
Christina. So can you modify the assessment?

[00:08:54.629]
for right now we don't have the ability

[00:08:56.649]
to modify the assessment. So when you do send

[00:08:58.798]
an assessment over to students, it is

[00:09:01.168]
going to go over with all five questions,

[00:09:03.509]
they're going to have access to all five.

[00:09:07.899]
Ok, so I've added these three documents here, so

[00:09:09.979]
I'm going to open that folder now so we can take a look

[00:09:12.168]
at what this looks like on

[00:09:14.330]
our my class resources

[00:09:16.719]
section here. So again, if you're just trying

[00:09:18.879]
to get directly to a folder as opposed to going

[00:09:21.057]
through how I did, you can click into my class

[00:09:23.139]
resources up top here.

[00:09:26.090]
and that will pull you right here, but I just

[00:09:28.320]
clicked it right into my folder here.

[00:09:31.177]
and you'll see I have the lesson plan and it looks like

[00:09:33.239]
we have two different bits of content that are attached

[00:09:35.538]
to this lesson plan. We have one chart and

[00:09:37.807]
we have one topic overview.

[00:09:40.139]
So looking through here, you'll see my topic

[00:09:42.500]
overview is the one that has the quiz

[00:09:44.519]
attached.

[00:09:46.009]
So students are going to need to read this topic

[00:09:48.210]
overview to be able to take this quiz here.

[00:09:51.918]
So let's go ahead and click into this media biased

[00:09:54.307]
topic overview and we can kind of see

[00:09:56.859]
what you can do and what students can do

[00:10:00.399]
Thank you. So this is still the educator

[00:10:02.719]
view. I haven't taken a look at a student view at all

[00:10:04.750]
yet. You'll see this is

[00:10:06.769]
defaulted to turning on, so

[00:10:08.869]
the quiz is defaulted to being visible to students

[00:10:11.330]
if you want to assign this piece

[00:10:13.340]
of content to students, but you don't actually want them

[00:10:15.408]
to take the assessment right now. You can turn

[00:10:17.489]
this off, but it does default to on here.

[00:10:21.200]
and everything else will be the same for your students.

[00:10:24.349]
So let's take a look now and see what students

[00:10:26.369]
are actually going to see here. So I have

[00:10:28.418]
this all ready to go.

[00:10:29.859]
I'm going to select my student view of top

[00:10:31.908]
here. and

[00:10:37.889]
now, once it loads up for me here,

[00:10:40.609]
there we go. Now, remember, I didn't add,

[00:10:42.750]
I'm sorry, not remember, but I didn't add an

[00:10:44.759]
instructor's notes, so that's why you don't see

[00:10:46.807]
it here, but now your students, if

[00:10:49.009]
you do have this enabled for your

[00:10:51.028]
students to see, they're going to get this little

[00:10:53.190]
assignments option here, so you'll see, they get

[00:10:55.307]
this not started button

[00:10:57.168]
and they'll be able to click right in um since I'm

[00:10:59.369]
signed in as an educator, I can't click in here,

[00:11:01.869]
students will be doing that but this is

[00:11:03.889]
what they're going to see and if it's completed, they're

[00:11:06.009]
going to see a little completed option here as

[00:11:08.057]
opposed to this, not started

[00:11:11.259]
So let me jump back here again

[00:11:13.340]
to the instructor view.

[00:11:21.899]
So now if I have this all ready to go, maybe I do

[00:11:24.057]
decide to add an instructor's note just

[00:11:26.288]
um, you know,

[00:11:27.389]
make sure you take this quiz for monday

[00:11:29.519]
or something like that. I can do that as well.

[00:11:31.570]
And then the instructor's note will appear in addition

[00:11:34.009]
to the assessments here. So I do have the option

[00:11:36.389]
for both of those.

[00:11:38.788]
But now I wanna get this content out to students.

[00:11:40.807]
I've decided, yep, this quiz is perfect, this

[00:11:42.950]
is what we need.

[00:11:44.009]
I'm going to hit my send to button which

[00:11:46.239]
is up top here at this little um paper

[00:11:48.288]
airplane.

[00:11:50.798]
And when I hit send to, I'm going to click

[00:11:52.989]
on this, get shareable student link

[00:11:55.070]
here when

[00:11:57.090]
I do that, this is where I'm going to be able to decide

[00:11:59.677]
what different classes I want here. So

[00:12:01.739]
again, I can include as many as I want. You'll

[00:12:03.840]
see right now it defaults to having

[00:12:05.899]
class number one. That's just what you're going to see

[00:12:08.057]
if you've never done anything with assessments

[00:12:10.307]
yet but I can start adding more so you'll

[00:12:12.408]
see here. I already have a first hour added for

[00:12:14.479]
an assessment I did previously. Maybe

[00:12:17.019]
I also want to have second hour.

[00:12:19.210]
They're also going to be working on it. literary

[00:12:22.158]
media literacy. So

[00:12:24.427]
I can select the second hour create

[00:12:26.528]
class. And again, I have another separate link

[00:12:28.719]
here so I can really

[00:12:30.769]
simply copy and paste these wherever I want

[00:12:32.840]
them to go. Again, we do have our google

[00:12:35.369]
classroom integration if you prefer to send

[00:12:37.570]
it out that way.

[00:12:38.830]
If you're using an L MS or want to give

[00:12:41.000]
information to students via L MS,

[00:12:43.298]
You may want to consider just copying this link

[00:12:45.369]
and posting it into whatever assignment you're

[00:12:47.427]
working on. If you're building maybe a discussion

[00:12:49.719]
board post again you can copy and paste that

[00:12:51.788]
there and students will be able to click in,

[00:12:54.038]
they'll be prompted to sign in

[00:12:56.307]
with a nice clean, simple way to sign in

[00:12:58.399]
with their google or Microsoft

[00:13:00.580]
accounts

[00:13:01.609]
and they'll be able to sign in and get started

[00:13:03.940]
on that quiz

[00:13:10.509]
Now. Quickly any questions about how you

[00:13:12.580]
can get the assessments over to

[00:13:14.649]
your kiddos at all

[00:13:20.278]
Ok,

[00:13:21.677]
I don't see any. So I do

[00:13:23.849]
want to show you what a piece of content

[00:13:26.259]
looks like when it has an attached

[00:13:28.519]
assessment in a search result. So

[00:13:30.840]
if instead of going through a lesson plan, you just

[00:13:32.989]
search for a topic and you wanted to

[00:13:35.369]
maybe click into only things that have

[00:13:39.119]
assessments attached.

[00:13:41.288]
What I'm going to do just to save time is I'm actually

[00:13:43.418]
going to pull this article up

[00:13:45.509]
as if it were in a search result. So I'm just going

[00:13:47.639]
to advance search by its document number.

[00:13:50.889]
again, just so we can see exactly what this

[00:13:53.250]
particular bit of content is going to look

[00:13:55.369]
like here

[00:13:57.210]
So just pop in my document number

[00:14:02.908]
And of course we're right now only going to get one entry

[00:14:05.139]
because I'm searching the exact

[00:14:07.019]
bit of content, but you'll see

[00:14:09.090]
here. So this is the article that we were in.

[00:14:11.649]
You'll see. I already added it to my media

[00:14:13.778]
literacy folder, so it's still going to appear

[00:14:16.048]
here for me.

[00:14:19.278]
and we have our assessments available flagged

[00:14:21.599]
right here.

[00:14:23.440]
So as you're going through, if you did run a full

[00:14:25.849]
basic search for whatever topic you're looking

[00:14:28.009]
for, if we have any assessments

[00:14:30.250]
related to bits of content, they're going to appear

[00:14:32.349]
here right next to all of these other flags.

[00:14:34.570]
So you are most likely familiar with these

[00:14:36.710]
different guys. But we've included this assessments

[00:14:39.028]
available one here as well to make it just a little

[00:14:41.278]
bit easier for you to find that content. So

[00:14:43.908]
you're not going to have to kind of point and click through all

[00:14:46.009]
of their different bits of content to find something that

[00:14:48.080]
has an assessment attached to it.

[00:14:52.139]
But again, you do have to make sure you send this

[00:14:54.177]
bit of contents over to a folder, otherwise

[00:14:56.460]
you're not going to be able to do anything with it

[00:14:58.509]
at all. you always have to send to a

[00:15:00.528]
folder here.

[00:15:02.918]
So now let's take a look at how we can actually

[00:15:05.070]
find these results here. So

[00:15:07.149]
I'm going to go back to my class resources,

[00:15:09.418]
which again, is where all of your folders are housed

[00:15:11.538]
and is now where all of your assignments

[00:15:14.000]
or your assessments are going to be found.

[00:15:16.469]
So we can get to those two different ways here

[00:15:19.639]
You'll see now under the my class resources

[00:15:21.658]
option. I have an assessment

[00:15:23.677]
button here that's going to pull forward

[00:15:25.927]
all of the assessments I have assigned and

[00:15:28.048]
gotten responses to. So

[00:15:30.298]
you'll see right now. I don't have my media literacy

[00:15:32.528]
quiz. So I just added to a folder because I haven't sent

[00:15:34.739]
it anywhere and I haven't gotten any results.

[00:15:37.139]
These are the only quizzes I've gotten

[00:15:39.239]
results from

[00:15:40.658]
so I can click into my assignments to see all

[00:15:42.879]
of the quizzes or if I want to.

[00:15:45.019]
We're gonna go back to folders.

[00:15:47.519]
and I'm going to click into my social studies folder.

[00:15:51.080]
For this I have the same quiz listed

[00:15:53.399]
here attached to the piece of content

[00:15:55.519]
so you can access either way whichever

[00:15:57.609]
way you want to is perfectly fine but

[00:16:00.009]
I can click now you'll see right next

[00:16:02.099]
to this. I have a little trash can if I just want to get rid of

[00:16:04.158]
this quiz or next to that, I have

[00:16:06.239]
this little bar graph icon and this is

[00:16:08.330]
where I'm going to be able to pull my results

[00:16:14.570]
There we go.

[00:16:15.619]
And you'll see, I've only had a few students take it. Unfortunately

[00:16:18.408]
they might not have fully grasped

[00:16:20.469]
what I was trying to teach them, you'll see their their

[00:16:22.548]
scores aren't ideal. But

[00:16:24.918]
first it's going to show you the student scores

[00:16:27.090]
by item here, so it's just showing you what they got

[00:16:29.099]
correct and what they got wrong, a really

[00:16:31.129]
simple kind of way to click through that you

[00:16:33.359]
can hover over and you'll see how much time they spent

[00:16:35.649]
on each of these.

[00:16:39.538]
and you'll be able to pull that content, you can download

[00:16:41.820]
this as an Excel sheet if

[00:16:43.899]
you prefer to keep it that way, maybe you're planning on exporting

[00:16:46.460]
it somewhere else. You can do that right here.

[00:16:50.119]
I can also change my report type here,

[00:16:52.830]
so it does default to that student scores

[00:16:55.109]
by item but I can change it here to class

[00:16:57.379]
responses at a glance.

[00:17:02.609]
and now again I can pull this out as an excel

[00:17:04.769]
sheet if I want to keep it and maybe save it somewhere

[00:17:06.890]
else. Or I can just click through here

[00:17:09.028]
and take a look so this is telling me what,

[00:17:11.709]
not only what they got right, but what they got wrong

[00:17:13.910]
and what they put as their answer here

[00:17:20.489]
and you'll see this one here doesn't have

[00:17:22.867]
a grade attached. That's because this one

[00:17:25.000]
is a short answer.

[00:17:27.469]
So right now we don't grade any of the short

[00:17:29.558]
answer questions. So if there is one

[00:17:31.759]
included in whatever quiz you're sharing out

[00:17:35.729]
Um,

[00:17:37.038]
you'll be able to pull that and kind of grade it yourself.

[00:17:39.278]
And it looks like I have a quick

[00:17:41.750]
question, it looks like my screen is

[00:17:43.817]
frozen for someone. Um Does anyone

[00:17:46.048]
else see my screen as frozen? Right

[00:17:48.058]
now? I'm moving my

[00:17:50.180]
my mouse around. I'm going to click back to my

[00:17:52.269]
folders page if someone doesn't mind,

[00:17:54.489]
go ahead and put in the Q and A. If you are seeing

[00:17:56.587]
that frozen screen as well,

[00:18:00.189]
Ok. It looks like we've got some good

[00:18:02.317]
responses from other individuals. So um

[00:18:04.769]
Nicky I would suggest hop on and come

[00:18:06.857]
back or hop off and come back on. It might just

[00:18:09.097]
be our connection is maybe a little bit funky.

[00:18:11.308]
Oh Nicky. There we go. It move, start moving again.

[00:18:13.337]
Perfect. Um

[00:18:15.750]
Ok, let me go ahead and get these questions on

[00:18:17.769]
here. and

[00:18:21.150]
we've got another question pop up here. Let me go ahead

[00:18:23.199]
and read this quickly

[00:18:27.857]
So can you have an an option to release grades

[00:18:30.000]
after you grade a free response one or does it

[00:18:32.180]
release right away?

[00:18:34.019]
Um So Jill I'm assuming. Um

[00:18:36.650]
you mean release to students

[00:18:38.959]
and right now it doesn't release to students

[00:18:41.380]
if you are a

[00:18:42.380]
um so I believe right now it doesn't release to

[00:18:44.489]
students if you want to look at the grades, you'll have

[00:18:46.587]
to forward those along to students but

[00:18:48.680]
I'm going to verify with our product manager

[00:18:51.107]
that that's still the problem process because we have had a few

[00:18:53.364]
updates. Um So I do want to verify

[00:18:55.824]
but I believe if you want those grades to go out

[00:18:57.884]
to students, you'll have to share those out. They

[00:18:59.992]
won't kind of push out automatically

[00:19:02.125]
but let me verify that and I will

[00:19:04.222]
shoot you a quick email, I have your contact

[00:19:06.712]
number here,

[00:19:13.680]
Ok, So I don't have any questions

[00:19:15.778]
but I do want to show you all

[00:19:17.798]
Well first let me ask are

[00:19:20.219]
there any questions about what we went over? What's

[00:19:22.229]
great is the assessments feature is pretty straightforward.

[00:19:25.519]
It's really simple to kind of find

[00:19:27.577]
the assessment assign it to students, just like

[00:19:29.660]
you would in a

[00:19:30.827]
you would assign a regular folder

[00:19:33.028]
and I automatically get those results

[00:19:39.048]
Ok. Jill thank you for your feedback. I

[00:19:41.067]
will verify to see um if you

[00:19:43.180]
can release manually or not.

[00:19:44.989]
Um I agree with you. It would be, it would be

[00:19:47.000]
a nice option so I will let you know

[00:19:49.067]
what I what I hear back from my product manager,

[00:19:54.199]
Oh I will let you know one thing I didn't show

[00:19:56.778]
you is what a folder is going to look like in

[00:19:58.817]
student view with an assessment

[00:20:01.067]
attached, I think I can click into a folder

[00:20:03.327]
really fast to show you that. So just like

[00:20:05.519]
with our content

[00:20:07.597]
themselves, there's a student view if you share

[00:20:09.689]
it, the full folder, there will be a

[00:20:11.962]
student view as well, so I click into my

[00:20:14.594]
media literacy folder, which is that one

[00:20:16.755]
that I just recently created, So you'll see there's

[00:20:18.795]
only three bits of content. let's

[00:20:21.035]
take a look at the student view so we can get a feel of

[00:20:23.472]
what it's going to look like. If you send this whole thing,

[00:20:26.489]
Now remember when I sent all that information

[00:20:28.567]
over from the lesson plan, what

[00:20:30.759]
we had attached was obviously the lesson plan

[00:20:32.847]
itself and then two pieces of content.

[00:20:35.288]
So you'll notice here

[00:20:36.910]
right now we just have those two pieces of content

[00:20:39.048]
because our lesson plans don't show up in student

[00:20:41.259]
facing folders,

[00:20:42.949]
but you'll see here. The quiz is still listed underneath,

[00:20:45.449]
just like it's listed in the instructor

[00:20:47.910]
view so students can click into this article,

[00:20:50.209]
read the article and then they'll be able to answer

[00:20:52.449]
those questions.

[00:20:54.910]
back to instructor view here.

[00:20:58.759]
and again if you decided to not make that visible

[00:21:01.058]
to students you'll see you can do that using this visible

[00:21:03.298]
to students buttons

[00:21:05.269]
You can turn that off and now they won't see it. So if you're

[00:21:07.317]
not ready for them to take the to the quiz

[00:21:09.367]
yet you can hide it. You don't have to

[00:21:11.548]
um assign the piece of content with

[00:21:13.630]
the quiz

[00:21:16.558]
And we have a quick question about new

[00:21:19.229]
standards. So how often are the products

[00:21:21.519]
updated if the state has new standards?

[00:21:23.900]
So Christina, we do update continuously

[00:21:26.390]
and we do follow along with changes

[00:21:28.400]
both in state and national standards.

[00:21:30.759]
So we do try to keep us up to date

[00:21:32.867]
as possible when those things are published.

[00:21:40.989]
Ok? I don't see any questions. So I'm going

[00:21:43.097]
to go ahead and jump to my support site because

[00:21:45.288]
I do want to show you where you could find some additional info.

[00:21:47.400]
So if you are a librarian

[00:21:49.617]
on the line or an admin who's going

[00:21:51.817]
to be teaching um

[00:21:53.798]
your teachers how to use this, teaching your educators,

[00:21:56.140]
we have some support tools that can help you out with

[00:21:58.199]
that just to make it a little bit easier.

[00:22:00.439]
So on our support site which is just support

[00:22:02.528]
dot Yale dot com.

[00:22:04.489]
we have a whole page related to Gale In Context

[00:22:06.969]
for educators.

[00:22:08.278]
I am going to find that just by browsing

[00:22:10.719]
through products that I'm going to pull up Gale

[00:22:13.107]
in context for educators.

[00:22:20.117]
We've recently added a few new bits of content

[00:22:22.680]
that are really going to be helpful for assessment

[00:22:24.798]
specifically. So you'll see. We

[00:22:26.847]
have our full training section

[00:22:29.317]
here, so we have a few gifts, We have

[00:22:31.400]
some great activities. We do have a full presentation

[00:22:34.038]
for instructors that you can utilize.

[00:22:37.680]
scrolling down here. Some lessons

[00:22:40.140]
for students.

[00:22:44.028]
But I want to scroll all the way down to our principal

[00:22:46.650]
tools here. So we've got a few new

[00:22:48.890]
ones. You'll see. We have new flags listed here.

[00:22:51.808]
But we have an assessment tip

[00:22:54.019]
sheets specifically for educators

[00:22:56.077]
who are planning on utilizing assessments

[00:22:58.509]
that you can really simply download when I click into

[00:23:00.630]
it here.

[00:23:02.719]
It's just a nice Pdf that's going to help

[00:23:05.038]
them understand. It is a little bit longer because

[00:23:07.189]
we wanted to make sure we included

[00:23:09.288]
every bit about assessments that

[00:23:11.380]
your your teachers are going to need to know,

[00:23:13.709]
but you can pull that forward and utilize

[00:23:15.837]
as needed.

[00:23:17.288]
And we also have a bit

[00:23:19.028]
a bit of information about how

[00:23:21.259]
students are going to see assessments.

[00:23:24.298]
So you'll see here. We have a gale in context for

[00:23:26.327]
educators assessing, accessing

[00:23:29.259]
assessments, students

[00:23:31.640]
tips.

[00:23:35.009]
So you'll see this is very similar, but this is going

[00:23:37.048]
to be great to give directly to students.

[00:23:39.269]
It is a one pager, so really simple

[00:23:41.430]
and easy to print out. but this is

[00:23:43.439]
going to tell them how exactly they're going

[00:23:45.548]
to get into this resource, so it's going

[00:23:47.640]
to show them what they need to sign in.

[00:23:50.750]
and then what an assignment is going to look like when

[00:23:52.827]
it's attached to a page and then what an assignment

[00:23:54.910]
is going to look like while they're actually filling

[00:23:57.209]
it out. So

[00:24:00.920]
again, this content is all found on our support

[00:24:03.009]
site which is support.gale.com

[00:24:05.689]
and this information will be sent to you

[00:24:08.150]
with the email with the recording.

[00:24:10.347]
So if you want to forward those along to educators,

[00:24:12.670]
you'll be able to do that right here.

[00:24:18.660]
No, I still haven't seen any questions pop

[00:24:20.867]
up here and we have quite a bit of time left over.

[00:24:23.038]
I scheduled this for a longer

[00:24:25.048]
session because I wanted to make sure we had every question

[00:24:27.357]
answered but I haven't gotten money. So

[00:24:30.038]
let me go ahead and just jump back

[00:24:32.337]
to my slides here while

[00:24:34.449]
I'm doing that. Go ahead and type any questions you have

[00:24:36.880]
into the Q. And A. I wanna make sure I get everything

[00:24:38.979]
answered here

[00:24:41.650]
and while I'm watching that, let me give you

[00:24:43.709]
some just quick contact information.

[00:24:45.778]
So if you do want to learn more about assessments

[00:24:48.038]
or maybe you just want to walk through them one on one

[00:24:50.199]
with someone at gale. You have a customer success

[00:24:52.558]
manager who can help you out with that. If you don't

[00:24:54.640]
know who it is, you can just go to gale dot customer

[00:24:57.019]
success. I'm sorry send an email

[00:24:59.199]

[00:25:01.630]
and then we'll forward you to the correct individual

[00:25:04.097]

[00:25:05.910]

[00:25:10.750]

[00:25:17.910]
Again, I already mentioned our support site, but

[00:25:20.038]
again, support.gale.com is

[00:25:22.239]
where you're going to find quite a few different tutorials,

[00:25:25.130]
tip sheets, even marketing

[00:25:27.250]
tools, things like that. this

[00:25:29.288]
recorded webinar will be posted to the support

[00:25:31.327]
site later today as well.

[00:25:33.577]
And if you have a little

[00:25:35.930]
bit of time, I would love for you to take our training

[00:25:37.979]
