Duration: 90 Minutes
[00:00:03.000]
Welcome to your training for the Mississippi Department of Head. Today's training session is Enhancing Science Classrooms, Gale Interactive Resources.
[00:00:12.000]
My name is Tammi Burke and I am your Gale Trainer. Any questions that you have today?
[00:00:14.000]
Please feel free to ask in the Q&A box. It is open and available. Today's session, we are going to focus on 3 resources and that you have 3 interactive resources and these resources were purchased for all of you to supplement the secondary science instruction classroom.
[00:00:40.000]
So science lab activities, research, they're great for test prep. Kind of test prep that you're doing.
[00:00:49.000]
These resources are fantastic for because they are interactive and there are activities for each of the topics. So I'm excited to share them with you.
[00:00:58.000]
We will explore not only that content but also tools and features and I will also share tips and tricks with you about these gall resources.
[00:01:07.000]
Our agenda today, we are going to start with an overview of the 3 resources and then as I mentioned we'll be exploring that content features and workflow tools.
[00:01:17.000]
Any questions you have, please feel free to ask in the Q&A box. And I will also stand the line at the end if there's any additional.
[00:01:25.000]
Questions that you have and then Gale Support Site is what we will talk about at the end of today's training and that's where you can go for additional tools.
[00:01:32.000]
Support training materials, marketing materials. We've created everything for you. So they are all ready to go including some ready to go student activities that work with the Gale resources.
[00:01:48.000]
To access your Mississippi Department of Ed resources, you can use this link. I'm going to put it in the chat box right now.
[00:01:58.000]
There you go. Now what you'll want to do is Once you access this link, this is a good one to bookmark.
[00:02:05.000]
You will and you don't have to do this during today's training. Just just wanted to share this with you, but you can look for your school or your district if you do not see your schooler district.
[00:02:18.000]
Please let me know in the Q&A. And I am keeping note of those. It's something we're collecting right now because it's something we're working on.
[00:02:28.000]
Access for everyone in the state. But we're, you know, we're working with the Department of Ad on this right now.
[00:02:31.000]
So there's a little bit of a holding pattern. I was hoping that I'd have more information today, but as of this morning, I didn't have any additional information.
[00:02:42.000]
So let me know in that Q&A box. If you do not see your school or your district because once you do, you can click proceed and you'll have all of your direct URLs.
[00:02:49.000]
Available for all of the resources. Now this is a great place. Usually our librarians will take these direct URLs and add them to a library page.
[00:03:03.000]
You have more than 3 resources. You actually have 6 available. 5 of them are forced students and one is created for teachers and you'll see that in there it's scaling context for educators.
[00:03:15.000]
I will be covering the other 3 resources this afternoon in the afternoon session, but I will share this. These recordings that will they will be posted on the Gale support site that I mentioned to you.
[00:03:28.000]
You can you can see from even this link. The training section, that's where they're going to live.
[00:03:35.000]
There are already a library of these types of trainings available. Also, we have e-learning modules available that you can access, learn, answer some questions at the end and get CU credits for.
[00:03:44.000]
So keep that in mind. We've got a lot of tools already created. For these resources. So if you can't attend the afternoon session, that's okay.
[00:03:59.000]
We already have a library of trainings available. Just feel free to go in and access that information. And again, if you would like to get CEU credits, we have an e-learning module for every single one of these individual resources.
[00:04:08.000]
Now I did see a hand raise. I don't know if that was by accident. If you have a question you can use the Q&A box.
[00:04:16.000]
Feel free to do so. I know sometimes people accidentally hit that. My hand raised button there at the bottom.
[00:04:20.000]
So let me know if you have any questions about any of the access information I just shared. Again, everything is available.
[00:04:32.000]
Now, if you want to use these direct URLs and you have, you want to share them directly with your students.
[00:04:39.000]
You don't want to work with your library. I do suggest working with your library. Those librarians are fantastic.
[00:04:44.000]
And are able to put those digital resources in a nice safe place for everyone in the science department to access.
[00:04:45.000]
But maybe you have your own website or you're sharing using, you know, you want to add these to your learning management system.
[00:04:58.000]
We are integrated with Canvas and Schoology it does take some setup on the backside but just all different ways that you can share this link with your students or Google Classroom.
[00:05:03.000]
We are integrated with Google Classroom. So you can pull information out. From the resources and put it right into your Google classroom.
[00:05:16.000]
So all these things are available and I will share that with you today as we go through the resources, the individual resources.
[00:05:22.000]
So a lot of information that I just shared. To open it up, but I just don't know.
[00:05:26.000]
Everyone's if you even knew you had these resources available. So I like to give you as much.
[00:05:33.000]
During these overview sessions, much information as possible. So Gale Interactive Science Resources, you have Gale Interactive Science and this one is great for middle school and high school.
[00:05:48.000]
So seventh through twelfth grade because these are the all these resources are for secondary. And are available for our middle school and high schools.
[00:05:58.000]
Gale interactive science is a great one because it covers all subject areas. I shouldn't say all subject areas with science subject areas.
[00:06:06.000]
So it gives students a better visualization, understanding of concepts in biology and chemistry, earth and space science.
[00:06:14.000]
Users can manipulate and explore the threed models. And others reference content also. And you'll also find over 200 200 interactive lessons or interactive activities available.
[00:06:27.000]
The next resource you have is Gale Interactive Chemistry. So this is geared more towards our high school students.
[00:06:31.000]
But we do have middle schoolers that use it. It engages students and aids in that comprehension in the study of substances and how they interact, combine and change.
[00:06:45.000]
And chemistry students can explore elements reactions crystals molecules and this one has over 115 interactive sessions.
[00:06:53.000]
And the last resource that we will be going into today is Gale Interactive Human Anatomy. Very innovative learning aid helps students examine threed dissections, immerse themselves in interactive research.
[00:07:07.000]
This resource can be used for in-classroom demonstration just as the other 2 can or help with homework with over 125 interactive sessions.
[00:07:19.000]
So with that, we are going to go right into the resources and we are going to start with Gale Interactive Science.
[00:07:27.000]
So let me share that my screen with you. There we go. So Gale Interactive Science, again, this is a great one for our middle schoolers and our high schoolers and let's talk a little bit of what you're seeing on the homepage first.
[00:07:42.000]
It really does bring science to life. While supporting our middle school and high school curriculum and class work. And as I mentioned, test prep and I'll talk to you more about that when we go into the activities and how they can be used.
[00:07:56.000]
To help your students review before any assessments or they're great for any pre you're doing some teaching and you want to do a little bit of pre teaching and check for understanding.
[00:08:02.000]
There are great ones to use for that too. So let's talk about 3 learning paths that you have or browse options.
[00:08:14.000]
So you have the ability to search, there's a basic search bar right at the top where you can search for any activities by just putting in a search term.
[00:08:25.000]
So that's a quick way to find content. Over to the right you have the browse activity section and let me click into that.
[00:08:33.000]
So I'm in the upper right hand corner here. I can browse activities and it takes me to all and we have 219 now available all our activities with some filter options on the left hand side.
[00:08:46.000]
Including we have the NGSS standards. So if you're looking for activities related to a specific standard, you You can easily click into and I'm going to select this one.
[00:08:57.000]
And it'll filter down your activities to that specific standard. You'll also see the standard. Linked here at the bottom.
[00:09:05.000]
These are called tags. So you'll see the tags at the bottom with that. Here it is at the end of this this list here.
[00:09:15.000]
So that's our second option to browse. So again, we have Basic at the top.
[00:09:21.000]
We have our browse activities over to the right. And then finally we have the ability to search by subject category here on the homepage.
[00:09:31.000]
Biology, chemistry, earth science, human anatomy, and then we also have principal threed models.
[00:09:37.000]
So if you happen to have a threed printer We have printable models available. I'm going to start there.
[00:09:44.000]
So you can see all of the models that we have. Listed here, you can download the file and print those off.
[00:09:53.000]
Let me go back to that homepage. I like to suggest if this is new to your students and to you all, I do suggest looking at anything that is introductory or like this one welcome to Gale Interactive Science to get students started with the resource.
[00:10:05.000]
So you'll see in our chemistry there'll be an introduction to the periodic table. And that's one that I suggest for that resource to get started with.
[00:10:22.000]
So using these introductory sessions or to access and get used to accessing the information within the resources.
[00:10:29.000]
Really helpful for students, so please use those options at the top of the page.
[00:10:36.000]
Looking at our subject categories, I want to show you what it looks like when we access the subject such as biology.
[00:10:43.000]
I can click into the image. And what it does is it automatically selects everything in that subject category of biology.
[00:10:53.000]
So all of my activities, I have 91 activities that relate to biology and you can see Every sub subject is selected here.
[00:11:04.000]
And it's very similar. It takes you to when I click on browse activities, it's the same idea.
[00:11:08.000]
It's just a quicker way to access all of that content at once. And below each activity I have the title.
[00:11:14.000]
I have a bit of a summary and then I have all of those tags available. So I can see if any of them are related to an NGS standard.
[00:11:24.000]
I can also see the the subject or sub subject category here listed below. If I wanted to filtered.
[00:11:35.000]
So I've clicked on biology and maybe I don't want all of these. Maybe I just want cells and.
[00:11:42.000]
Take some of these off. Now, if you look, I did remove 3 subject categories, but it still says 91 searches.
[00:11:51.000]
The reason why it's doing that is because biology is still selected. So I would want to remove biology also.
[00:11:57.000]
So it's kind of a different way of having to select those. But just know that you can do that if you wanted to filter down that content.
[00:12:02.000]
You can easily do that. Selecting each one. Why would you do that? Collect, select biology and then remove and then go back in.
[00:12:16.000]
It might just be a path your students take. I just wanted to share that with you that if you don't remove that top one it's still going to give you all 91 results.
[00:12:23.000]
And you could just go through browse activities to do the same thing, but wanted to just share it because a lot of students will click on it and not understand so just wanted to make that aware to you all.
[00:12:32.000]
So you can see a lot of the the subjects that are left here in these categories as as I scroll down the page.
[00:12:41.000]
I know cells is something that your eighth graders have a big test coming up on and something that maybe some of your classrooms are working on.
[00:12:49.000]
So I always like to touch into that subject category. It's something that the Department of Ed has shared with us that is important to you all with getting that correct information.
[00:13:00.000]
For your students. So let's go into I showed you the NGSS standards. Let's go into animal cell.
[00:13:11.000]
And to click into the activity, I just click on the title. And it does take a little bit to load here a couple seconds.
[00:13:15.000]
This one loads pretty quick. My Wi-Fi is working nice and strong. This morning here in Michigan is the I'm watching the snow come down outside.
[00:13:24.000]
But you can see here we have that same information where we had the title, the summary, the tags.
[00:13:29.000]
But I also have some options here where I can share. I can share to any of these locations including email and Google Classroom if I'm using Google Classroom I can share directly to my classroom.
[00:13:40.000]
It does open in a new screen here. Hopefully, let me see. If it's sharing that.
[00:13:54.000]
I'll share my desktop. Hopefully it'll share perfectly. So you can see my Google classroom here.
[00:14:00.000]
I can choose my class.
[00:14:05.000]
Choose my action. Maybe I want to. Create an assignment, click go. Here's my assignment.
[00:14:12.000]
Let me know if you're not seeing. The Google Classroom pop up here on the page you should be but sometimes Zoom has a mind of its own.
[00:14:22.000]
So we're talking about animal cells.
[00:14:26.000]
And my instructions, I want them to. Maybe I want them to complete the activity.
[00:14:35.000]
And.
[00:14:39.000]
Review the
[00:14:43.000]
Reference content. Our reference information.
[00:14:49.000]
Okay, I can assign it to all students my points. When is it due? Let's give it a due date of Friday.
[00:14:59.000]
And I can enter time if I want to.
[00:15:06.000]
And then I click assign. Now what gives me the option? And a moment here. I'll be able to view this in my classrooms working taking a little bit of time.
[00:15:15.000]
Sometimes because these activities are larger files it takes a little bit of time.
[00:15:27.000]
Alright, I'll pull that back in and oh there we go, now it's open. Make sure it's still sharing.
[00:15:34.000]
Desktop. Okay, I can click view and what it does is it opens that tab up. And then I will have in class work.
[00:15:43.000]
There is my animal cells.
[00:15:47.000]
And I can go directly to that activity. Okay, so really easy to use in Google Classroom to share that content.
[00:15:57.000]
With your students. And all I did again was click on that Google Classroom and it pulled this all this information in directly into my Google classroom.
[00:16:08.000]
Okay, let's go down. Oh, a couple other things as far as sharing. If I wanted to link a link just to this activity, that's what this is here, this activity.
[00:16:16.000]
I can grab that link and post it wherever I'm working with students. For example, your learning management system or if you happen to be using one of our other resources, the one I mentioned to you that's a teacher resource, Galing context for educators.
[00:16:30.000]
You can use this is a great way to use this link and pull that this link into one of your folders that you've created in that resource.
[00:16:39.000]
And I know this probably isn't making a lot of sense to you if you're not familiar with that resource.
[00:16:44.000]
Again, it's something I will be covering this afternoon, but we also have a library of training on that resource too.
[00:16:50.000]
So it's a great way to share that content. Just know that you can grab a link to the activity or if you wanted to, these are, we call these slides, each of these individual slides up top.
[00:17:01.000]
I wanted a link just to an individual slide, I can share that too. Below I have all of the related.
[00:17:10.000]
Activities? And then on the right hand side, I have all of my reference content. And this reference content is coming from another resource that you have access to.
[00:17:16.000]
It's called Galing Context Science. It's also pulling in some periodical information from a resource that you don't have access to.
[00:17:29.000]
So you've got a lot of great reference content here. And it does adjust as I work through the slide that reference content will change.
[00:17:38.000]
Right now I'm on animal cells, so it's giving me information on cells. I have a lot of great tools available here, so let's say I needed to translate this text.
[00:17:49.000]
I could do that. We're at over 50 languages now. So I can translate this reference content.
[00:17:56.000]
I needed to increase that font size I can. Or Drease it. I have some display options where I can change the color behind the text.
[00:18:05.000]
I can change the font to open dyslexic. So all my tools to support accessibility are here.
[00:18:08.000]
These are across all of your Gale resources. You're going to find these tools to support accessibility.
[00:18:18.000]
And so I changed that display option. I can go back and make that. Go back to my default by opening that box back up.
[00:18:27.000]
And I can also listen to the text being read aloud to me. And if I've translated and then click that listen button.
[00:18:32.000]
It will read it to me in the translated text. Now we are at over 50 languages here. I, last time I checked, we were at 24, but I'd have to double check and see if that has increased at all.
[00:18:46.000]
It is the ones that are used the most often in that listen button. So, 24 that can be read aloud in a different language.
[00:18:54.000]
We have some quick send options. So if I just want this article information I can quickly send it to Google Microsoft email download or print I also you can see those tools up here at the top.
[00:19:05.000]
The sun too will give me Google Drive One Drive email that paper airplane. Same with download print.
[00:19:12.000]
I have get link and then. Highlights and notes. Highlights and notes. I have the ability to highlight a chunk of text.
[00:19:22.000]
So I can mark up a document. I can add some notes. I can save that information.
[00:19:30.000]
And then when I send it Google Onedrive, email, download or print, it'll remain marked up for me.
[00:19:37.000]
So that might be something, you know, if you're creating an an assignment. And you're sharing it to Google Classroom and you want your students to do some test prep.
[00:19:42.000]
And review. And you are want them to pull out content, maybe it's a discussion or a project or again for test prep.
[00:19:55.000]
This is something that they can do where they can highlight that information and then send it to their any of those locations I mentioned.
[00:19:59.000]
Google Microsoft, email, download, print. And it, what they've marked up and any notes they've taken will stay with them.
[00:20:10.000]
It turns it in. Let's say they're sending it to Google. It turns it into a Google Doc.
[00:20:12.000]
And it stays marked up. Okay, so just a feature that we have available. Again, this is across all of your Gale resources.
[00:20:21.000]
You'll find these tools and features available. Now let's get to the activity. So we have some different views available for our activity.
[00:20:31.000]
Does it work within Canvas? Vicky, great question. So our in context, that's the other, there's there's 3 resources that you have, are can be integrated right into Canvas.
[00:20:39.000]
And I have to double check on our interactives. There was a little bit different setup for Canvas.
[00:20:49.000]
I think schoology, it is not set up in yet, but Canvas. I believe that now we are able to set up this resource within Canvas before what I had told folks is if you wanted to share this information in Canvas, then use the link to the activity or link to the slide.
[00:21:05.000]
But I will what I'll do is I can double check on that and let you know. I looked at it and I know the URL is there but I want to double check with our so we have this list of getting that's needed for canvas and schoology.
[00:21:13.000]
I want to double check with our customer success managers and I might be able to do that before the end of the session today.
[00:21:24.000]
I can just send a quick message to make sure that it is working correctly within Canvas. Before I say yes, it's perfect.
[00:21:32.000]
So I just want to double check. I know that the capabilities are there, but I want their input because they're the they are the experts in this area to make sure that it is working the way that you would expect it to.
[00:21:44.000]
As our other Gale resources have. Now what does happen is, and I will share their contact information at the end, there is some setup on the backside.
[00:21:53.000]
And so your tech person or whomever sets up your canvas instance would have to get the information.
[00:21:58.000]
Gale to get it set up in Canvas. But it really is quite simple to do. It's like a secret and a key that's needed to get everything set up and then it'll be there in your your global navigation on the left-hand side within Canvas and you can embed content directly into your assignments.
[00:22:15.000]
It really is a seamless way to work. And thanks for asking about that. I appreciate that.
[00:22:23.000]
So I'll have an answer for you, hopefully before the end of the session here. So, looking at the activity, I want to show you a few different views.
[00:22:31.000]
So we have 2 views here. Let me click into this first one, this theater view. What's the theater view does is it opens up the activity a little larger and then below you still have all of your information you have the reference content still available and then again those related activities the ability to share information.
[00:22:54.000]
And then, Got my Mac mouse here. I have to be careful. You can zoom in and zoom out as you just saw.
[00:23:01.000]
And then the other version is full screen, which means that your reference content in all of this underneath is going to disappear because I'm going to have this full screen.
[00:23:11.000]
Now a couple ways I can go through this activity. I can click using or click or tap. You can see here using the arrows.
[00:23:20.000]
It'll take me through the information will change here. It'll also I can use my navigation at the bottom.
[00:23:28.000]
I'm gonna go back to theater view. Because I wanted to share with you, you can see now this reference content is changed.
[00:23:36.000]
Now we're in plasma membrane. And we're talking about the cell membrane here.
[00:23:41.000]
What I can do. And this is where the interactive piece comes in. You right-click.
[00:23:47.000]
You can rotate. The activity. So you can see for toss prep how this could be really helpful for students.
[00:23:56.000]
I can pull this apart. And even so some of these are labeled this just these dots means I what it does is it gives me the opportunity to move these.
[00:24:08.000]
On titles off to the side, but I can continue to dissect and pull this apart. What happens is I don't have a label here, but if I put my cursor over top, it will tell me what that.
[00:24:21.000]
Object I just pulled apart. This is a nucleus. It'll give me that label.
[00:24:29.000]
So I'm just left clicking and pulling it apart. Again, the right click rotates it and then on my mouse and it does I have to say it is so much easier to use your mouse than your mouse pad on a laptop.
[00:24:41.000]
I highly suggested you can you just have to be using really almost 2 hands on your. On your mouse on your on your laptop on that that pad it is a little bit more challenging it can be done so I do suggest tip and trick is make sure everybody has a mouse if they kind it makes it so much easier because they can right-click and rotate this as I as I shared before and then zoom in and zoom
[00:25:08.000]
out by. Using that roller ball or if you're on a mouse Mac just, dragging your finger on the top there.
[00:25:15.000]
Now what I also want to share with you, and when I go to the next slide, it will reset this last one.
[00:25:20.000]
So if I go back. That's a way to reset it. After you've pulled it apart.
[00:25:26.000]
But as I go through, what happens is not only will this information be changing on the left, it also is changing below, but I get to the point where I have some quiz questions.
[00:25:38.000]
And some of these activities have 3 questions, some of them have 5 questions. And some are multiple choice, some are matching where you're clicking and dragging.
[00:25:48.000]
This is asking where the cells DNA is stored when I answer correctly. I get the nice green screen.
[00:25:53.000]
These are not graded. This is formative. This is a way for them to check for understanding.
[00:25:59.000]
It's a way for them to review. It's a way for them to prepare for the test.
[00:26:03.000]
Think about, I'm going to show you another activity here in just a moment. And, but I wanted to just click through.
[00:26:11.000]
So this is clicking on and.
[00:26:15.000]
If you get incorrect, you get the red box. I can go to the last question. Then answer that question and when I get it wrong I get again that red box.
[00:26:25.000]
I didn't even read the question. There we go. So.
[00:26:33.000]
I can restart that activity. Or I can go on to the next one. Now I do want to share with you Another activity.
[00:26:41.000]
I'm going to go into a dissection. Of the cat because this one really when you maybe I should do fetal pig.
[00:26:51.000]
I used to do cat all the time and I would present this to. Librarians and and kids too.
[00:26:59.000]
Might have a problem with cat. So let's go to So nobody is like, oh, I don't like that.
[00:27:04.000]
I know it's in a different category outside of cells, but. And let me load fetal pig.
[00:27:08.000]
There we go. And I'm gonna make this theater screen too. So again, I can rotate.
[00:27:14.000]
This is the one too where if you are. Disecting and the reason why I use this as an example is if So a lot of things.
[00:27:23.000]
Sometimes. Funding. Funding is a challenge for labs, right? So funding to do a fetal pig dissection may not be there.
[00:27:32.000]
This is a way that you can still utilize this within your science lab within your science classroom. This content that you have available by using this interactive activity.
[00:27:44.000]
Also, this is a great way to prepare students before they get to dissecting the fetal pig if you do happen to have funding.
[00:27:53.000]
This is a great way to prepare them for it. And then also think about the review. I know in our science labs that the parts of the pig after a dissection.
[00:28:06.000]
For an exam, our labeled with tags and the students have to identify that part. This is a way for them to review that information.
[00:28:15.000]
They can if and you can work through this as a whole group first. The very first time before you do the dissection.
[00:28:20.000]
And then after, again, your students can use this to prepare for their exam. So it's a great way to review.
[00:28:30.000]
And again, here you can see how much more detailed this is. This is looking at the muscles.
[00:28:36.000]
Then we're looking at the skeleton and again. I can rotate this so you can really get all views of this fetal pig.
[00:28:47.000]
And if I need to start dissecting digitally, I can do that. It's again interactive.
[00:28:54.000]
And again, it will. When I put my cursor over top. Should label it here. It's taking a second.
[00:29:01.000]
It'll label each part too. Sometimes Zoom bogs down my system a little bit, so just to let you know.
[00:29:10.000]
So you can really utilize these interactive activities for your students in so many different ways. And, and as I mentioned, that reference content is there too.
[00:29:17.000]
We even have. To continue to supplement your curriculum. We even have the ability to go to related articles.
[00:29:24.000]
So here's related articles on the digestive system. So I can go to. Related content.
[00:29:37.000]
Also, or the stomach. If I'm struggling with the term, I can highlight that term and then my highlights and note box pops up, but if I click define, it'll give me a page in the Webster's dictionary.
[00:29:52.000]
Okay, so all that can be done there with that reference content. Oh my goodness.
[00:29:58.000]
I will say a regular mouse is a little bit easier to use than your Mac mouse. So be careful when you click into it and zoom you really do zoom in.
[00:30:07.000]
Again, I'm just clicking through those activities.
[00:30:13.000]
Going over the nervous system and then here's a quiz. So this one has 2 questions.
[00:30:19.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions about anything I've gone over. We talked about all of the tools to support accessibility for the reference content.
[00:30:31.000]
Here at the top. And then we went through some of those activities for interactive science. What I would like to do now is switch gears and go into our next resource.
[00:30:43.000]
There's a lot of before I do, let me share with you another way to use your tag.
[00:30:48.000]
So I'm going to go into browse activities. And if another way to use your tags, let's say I'm looking for, again, I'm looking for a standard.
[00:30:56.000]
And I want everything for a specific. Standard, all the activities related to a specific standard. I can select that on the left hand side or maybe I find one that I'm interested in.
[00:31:14.000]
And I select the tag underneath. It'll automatically take me to all of the. All of the activities that have that same standard.
[00:31:25.000]
So that's another way to use your tags or a certain subject. Sub-subject, this one's zoology.
[00:31:33.000]
So that's another way to find that content. So you have a lot of ways to browse, but quick ways to to filter down to specific content.
[00:31:41.000]
So if I did this one, you can see I've got 2 standards tagged. For the NGSS standards, which I know is something that you use there in Mississippi.
[00:31:50.000]
Okay. And I do have to say the dissections are very interesting. We do have so you have Gale interactive science and you do have some chemistry.
[00:32:01.000]
And some human anatomy here. But not even close to what you have when you have the full suite or the whole entire resource available.
[00:32:04.000]
And I have been to, you know, I've done my share of trainings in Mississippi since you've had access to these resources.
[00:32:15.000]
And I did here specifically I had 2 chemistry teachers in one of my sessions and then also human anatomy.
[00:32:23.000]
These are AP teachers and they shared with me that they really don't have. The they don't have textbooks the way for those classes they need more than what they have available and they were so excited about these interactive resources because it gave them that missing piece that they needed for their classrooms.
[00:32:36.000]
So again, Gale Interactive Science covers all of those subject categories. Is a great one for our middle school students and high school students and then has also the threed printable models.
[00:32:54.000]
Now what I'm going to do now is go into Gale Interactive Chemistry, let me know if you have any additional questions.
[00:33:01.000]
And let me show you what you're going to find in Gale Interactive Chemistry.
[00:33:07.000]
So again, as I mentioned, Gale interactive chemistry, if you have that ability, you know, have your students start with the welcome activity or this one specifically has an introduction to the periodic table.
[00:33:19.000]
So again, we have the same search options basic at the top, browse activities, and then we have the subject categories where you have elements.
[00:33:21.000]
Molecules and compounds, reactions, crystals, and advanced reactions. So instead of threed models, we have advanced reactions here at the bottom.
[00:33:36.000]
Interactive activities. What's different here within this resource and we're going to use the periodic table as an example is we're on a workstation.
[00:33:47.000]
So let me share with you what that looks like. Again, we have. Our reference content on the right, our ability to share this information.
[00:33:56.000]
Related activities are listed here below. But you can see the image looks this almost the same in every single one.
[00:33:57.000]
Because we are working on, well, we're also on the periodic table, so if I were to go into advanced reactions, it would look different.
[00:34:09.000]
But we're on this workstation. So this is also interactive. Let me change that view.
[00:34:15.000]
I can rotate. See you can see how. I could see different I can see different elements properties.
[00:34:23.000]
Let me
[00:34:26.000]
All of it is interactive. So if I wanted certain properties like. Electronegativity.
[00:34:33.000]
It adjusts on my screen on my worktop.
[00:34:38.000]
You can see all of the views here.
[00:34:42.000]
I also, it's interactive. Let me go. Try to zoom. This one's a little trickier.
[00:34:50.000]
If I wanted to access my metals. Maybe I want this one. Again, there my screen changes.
[00:34:59.000]
And I can see I can zoom in on that. Okay, information bear with me here. It's tricky with this mouse.
[00:35:08.000]
Okay, let me reset it. There we go. So that zoom in and zoom out hover over you can see over here to the right hover over for mouse hints.
[00:35:21.000]
I can start my activity. I was just showing you how to Kind of manipulate that desktop there.
[00:35:26.000]
Or workstation that you have. But you can see even movement here on the page. So when you're talking about chemistry, especially those advanced reactions.
[00:35:39.000]
That was something I heard when I, again, when I was working with those chemistry teachers that was they were really excited about.
[00:35:43.000]
I know that students that's an area that students struggle with and to see it visually can be really helpful.
[00:35:54.000]
I mean you might have models in the in the classroom that you're able to use but here they can access this anywhere anywhere they can access the link on a browser they can access this information so they're able to access this at home and again do that.
[00:36:06.000]
Do that test prep. And then interact with the periodic table. It's not just flat in front of them.
[00:36:15.000]
Or that advanced reaction, you know, if they can manipulate it in the classroom, but then also manipulate it digitally.
[00:36:22.000]
They live in a much more digital age now, so that can be a really helpful tool for your students to have this information in this content.
[00:36:32.000]
So here's I'll just start sharing with you and then clicking on some of the properties and it's adjusting on the screen and on the back of the screen here too you can see the adjustment.
[00:36:43.000]
If I add in
[00:36:48.000]
Here are the metals.
[00:36:54.000]
And then again, I can rotate and look down on this if I'm. That's the view I want.
[00:37:03.000]
I have that option available. Okay, and then I work through those activities. And This one is an introduction, so it has, it just takes me through, it's introducing that periodic table, right?
[00:37:18.000]
So
[00:37:22.000]
I can work through the elements, the element properties. Again, still interactive even though I'm.
[00:37:29.000]
Totally zoomed in here, understanding the metals.
[00:37:35.000]
Electron configuration.
[00:37:40.000]
I'm just going to click all the way through to the end. Which gives me the opportunity to explore.
[00:37:46.000]
And that's this is where that introduction piece comes into play where you want your students to take time to explore this tool.
[00:37:50.000]
Have fun using that feature and then come back in any time they need to use this first study aid or to interact with any course concepts.
[00:38:03.000]
So again, those that's a great place to start. Your students out is that introduction and it is here.
[00:38:08.000]
It's the second slide in.
[00:38:11.000]
And you'll find it here below 2 in the subject categories. Same similar to our Gale interactive science where I click into any of the Let's go into advanced reactions.
[00:38:25.000]
Click into the subject and then all of those activities are listed below.
[00:38:31.000]
Everything is selected here now. What you won't find is the NGSS standards. The NGSS standards live solely in Gale interactive science.
[00:38:42.000]
So keep that in mind. It we do have them there and we do have all those activities tagged within that resource.
[00:38:44.000]
The Gale and Active Science is a little bit more higher level. It's more for our AP classes.
[00:38:55.000]
So we did not include it here, but we do have it in Gale Interactive Science. So you won't find it here or in human anatomy.
[00:38:59.000]
So if you're looking for it, don't don't be alarmed. I just wanted to give you a heads up.
[00:39:04.000]
You get to that point. I'm just going to select this first one and you can see how this looks a little different.
[00:39:11.000]
The periodic table gives us everything, but we're still working within that workstation. And I still have that ability to link.
[00:39:18.000]
The activity or link to the slide. Pull this into Google Classroom. But here you can see it's still another activity.
[00:39:27.000]
I can start the activity and it takes me through. This advanced reaction.
[00:39:36.000]
Which again, I'm not a chemistry teacher, but I had did have the, like I said, those chemistry teachers in.
[00:39:43.000]
One of my training sessions and they were very Not only excited, but just shared that how helpful this tool is going to be for their students.
[00:39:52.000]
Because this concept is harder to teach within the classroom.
[00:39:57.000]
And having the having the ability to work through this activity was going to help a lot of their students. So I know I have.
[00:40:05.000]
In my own household. Some one that's going to PA school. So this this resource was really helpful when she had her chemistry classes in college and then one who was currently at Michigan State and wants to work for NASA one day.
[00:40:16.000]
So she's this all in this stem is her, her where she lives and she loves it.
[00:40:26.000]
So, but this was challenging. I'll have to say when she had it in high school, advanced that AP chemistry was challenging the advanced reactions were harder.
[00:40:34.000]
So and she's very visual. So this was a really helpful tool. And again, great for test prep.
[00:40:42.000]
Or pre teaching or to teach a concept, you know, you have different ways that you can teach a concept to your students and this is just another option to put in your toolbox.
[00:40:51.000]
That you have that you pull from that we all do as teachers you're always pulling out that information to share because every student learns a little differently.
[00:40:55.000]
And I know how helpful this was for. For my kids. My third one is going into computer science, so he doesn't really use this and he loved chemistry in high school.
[00:41:05.000]
He took every advanced class you could. But then I don't, he doesn't really have it now because he's going into engineering.
[00:41:16.000]
So. Little different. You do have reactions. Elements crystals available.
[00:41:23.000]
Let me go into crystals. And here's see any introductions. Are really helpful so you've got some introductions here to crystals.
[00:41:35.000]
So very helpful to teach within the classroom. If I wanted to select everything in a category and I'm already here on the browse activities and I wanted all of the elements.
[00:41:47.000]
I can easily do that and it will filter that. Down 43 it did it I did well that was a top one that's probably why Let me remove that one.
[00:41:55.000]
There you can see it adjusted. It lists them in order too.
[00:42:03.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions really. Oh, here's a quiz. Let's go through that.
[00:42:09.000]
Really it's understanding what information. You have available within each of these like the different content then 2 looking at those workstations and knowing that this is going to look a little different than our Gale interactive science.
[00:42:28.000]
Those activities are slightly different than what you would do in chemistry. Okay, so here's another activity that I can work through.
[00:42:35.000]
I just always have to click that start button. And then I can work through.
[00:42:43.000]
And here this one has questions too. So I'm go right into the quizzes on this one.
[00:42:48.000]
So they're all a little different.
[00:42:52.000]
Different content you have available. Alright, I am going to go, let me make sure we covered everything here again.
[00:42:59.000]
Same similar platform. So really the biggest difference here besides all of the content having so much more is the advanced reactions.
[00:43:07.000]
Now let's go into our final interactive resource and that is Gale interactive human anatomy.
[00:43:19.000]
Any introduction sessions, I suggest or sessions, I should suggest you go in there. This one has systems regions and then this also has threed printable models so that's the additional tool there you can see I believe this is the heart.
[00:43:34.000]
Yeah. So this is the human anatomy. 3D printable models that you have available. If you have a 3D printer.
[00:43:44.000]
So let's say, so we talked about. We've done the browse activities multiple times.
[00:43:48.000]
Let's do a search. This time, let's do it on the heart.
[00:43:55.000]
And you can see what activities I have available. Hart anatomy, circulation, and then the long anatomy because the heart is a part of that.
[00:44:05.000]
Let's go into Heart Anatomy. This is a fun one too to really. Pull apart.
[00:44:12.000]
And rotate and do that dissection. You can see this one has a lot more slides. But as I work through it.
[00:44:20.000]
Same idea where I get That summary of information on the left. I have these tags. I can.
[00:44:29.000]
Dissect, rotate.
[00:44:34.000]
And then of course I have all those different views and as I work through that content. My reference content here below.
[00:44:43.000]
Continues to change.
[00:44:47.000]
And this one has, I think this one has 5 questions. Yeah. Let me see if I can get some of these correct.
[00:44:55.000]
So question one. Sure.
[00:45:00.000]
Nope, I know that time it took me a couple times to get this correct. I have a question that came through.
[00:45:05.000]
Is this an annual subscription or do you just purchase each individual activity? Can the district pay for all the resources to your amongst all the science teachers.
[00:45:12.000]
Okay, great question. So this is an annual subscription. It's not in you don't have to purchase the in it the activities individually.
[00:45:23.000]
So if you purchase If this resource is purchased, you get everything within that resource. It's not an individual activity purchase.
[00:45:31.000]
Can the district pay for all the resources? Yes, they can absolutely do that and pay for them for your science teachers.
[00:45:38.000]
Right now, the Mississippi Department of Ed is providing these. And there I think it's until the fall.
[00:45:40.000]
That you have access so you will have these till you know through the end of this school year and then hopefully be on but right now the Mississippi Department of Ed has purchased these so it's not something your district needs to purchase at this time.
[00:45:55.000]
Again, if you are not, Destiny, if you're not seeing your. I shared with you at the beginning take a look at that link that I posted in the chat and find your district or your school and if you're not seeing it there, let me know in the Q&A box.
[00:46:14.000]
I will get that information to the correct folks at Gale and see what we can do to get things underway for you all to have access. Okay.
[00:46:22.000]
But you may already be set up or You may, our customer success managers may have been reaching out to folks in your district and to onboard them.
[00:46:27.000]
And haven't been able to reach anyone. We found that a couple times too that's been a we've been constantly.
[00:46:33.000]
Reaching out and it's some of our contact information is not necessarily the correct content information. So we've been having to work through all of that too to make sure that everybody is gets the links and gets the information.
[00:46:49.000]
So let me know, but thanks for asking about that. But yes, once you purchase, you know, the, it's the whole resource.
[00:46:56.000]
The whole resource has been, has been purchased by the Mississippi Department of Ed. So you get access to everything.
[00:47:01.000]
It's not an individual. Activity but can you in addition to Yeah, absolutely. I'm not in sales, but we have great salespeople that if you that's something that you're interested in you know down the road or or act you know purchasing anything else from Gale our sales people would love to to reach out and talk so feel free to drop in any information that you would like and I'll be happy to make
[00:47:24.000]
sure again you have access through the Mississippi Department of Ed and then any contact information of folks that we should be talking to.
[00:47:32.000]
That would be greatly appreciated. So thanks for asking that question.
[00:47:37.000]
Okay, so what I wanted to share with you, I lost my train of thought is oh doing we did a search again if I go into any of the individual subject categories it looks the same just the content is quite different here in human anatomy right you're going to get that very detailed especially when you're looking at any of this the circulatory system and looking at that you're really getting those details in these activities.
[00:48:07.000]
It's so fantastic. I remember when this resource first we first launched this at Gale years ago and we didn't have that many activities we had a few and it's just grown so much over the years and and is such a great tool and we see this used not only and in our secondary with our secondary schools in K 12 but we see it used at the higher ed level too so this is a resource that if you're teaching those AP
[00:48:35.000]
classes, especially if you're teaching those AP classes, it's especially if you're teaching those AP classes it's being used at the higher ed level also, it's being used at the higher ed level also, especially chemistry and human anatomy, especially chemistry and human anatomy.
[00:48:42.000]
We see that a lot for those, especially chemistry and human anatomy. We see that a lot for those, you know, secondary schools and human anatomy.
[00:48:45.000]
We see that a lot for those, you know, secondary schools, higher ed, academic level. So it is another resource that is being used there too.
[00:48:46.000]
So your students are getting that information before they go on to college, which is really an awesome opportunity for them.
[00:48:59.000]
So this one has quite a few. Again, human anatomy. So you're going to have a need more of that detailed approach and those activities are going to have much more They're available or much more content available.
[00:49:14.000]
But they work through the same. Hopefully you're excited to take a look at these. I know I know I was the first time I saw them and I love any opportunity I get to share and do some training on these resources.
[00:49:27.000]
So let me go into, we, we have some time left. I want to share with you where you can go for support because we covered all of the great contents.
[00:49:37.000]
There's so there's so much content of available. The nice thing again is the tools and features are the same so that makes it simple for you all.
[00:49:40.000]
If you're in one resource they all the functionality is the same across all of them so it makes it really easy.
[00:49:50.000]
As you're working through those resources and The Canvas question came up. If in the meantime, if you don't have it, your resources set up in Canvas, don't forget you have that ability to grab a link to the activity or a link to the slide.
[00:50:06.000]
Don't use the URL. At the top. Always use within the product itself. You know use the link to the activity or link to the slide or if you wanted to grab a link to the reference content.
[00:50:16.000]
We have over here in the upper right you have the get link tool and that'll take you to this reference content.
[00:50:25.000]
So you can just grab a link to this reference content and share it with your students too. Okay, so in the meantime with the.
[00:50:34.000]
If you're using camps or anywhere anywhere you share this information with your students, you can provide that link.
[00:50:35.000]
Okay, let me go back to my PowerPoint and share with you. Couple slides because and then I'll share with you where you can find this information on the Gale Support site.
[00:50:52.000]
So we have some new support materials and these were created specifically for our Mississippi science educators. We have some new training materials.
[00:51:00.000]
There is an overview. Of all of the resources you have available. So this is a two-page document and where your internal folks can go for support.
[00:51:06.000]
So if you have a person that, yep, this person is in charge of our science department and they need to or this administrator, you can give them Christine's information.
[00:51:18.000]
It's right at the bottom of the document there. And she will reach out directly, do some onboarding, and make sure you know you all have access.
[00:51:26.000]
Set up correctly and help with any support that you may need.
[00:51:33.000]
We've also created a training toolkit. This training toolkit is a great place to get started.
[00:51:38.000]
So it gives you the basics. It's ways to get connected to the content. It talks about here's the introductory session similar to this one just shorter.
[00:51:48.000]
That you have available all of those e-learning modules are there and available so you can access that information and then if you're looking for additional support, Canvas, for example, this is you can reach out directly to or have your tech folks reach out to Christine and she can work through and help with that process.
[00:52:10.000]
So that training toolkit is available. We have. E-learning Cu's and folders.
[00:52:17.000]
So we have this is one of the e learning modules so you can see it's just a video.
[00:52:23.000]
Webinar that you have available. It does start with an introduction and then at the end there are 5 questions.
[00:52:30.000]
They're quite easy questions that I created for you all. That you can fill out at the end of the session.
[00:52:37.000]
And once you do, I do check that once a month. I'll send a certificate over to you and you can use that to get your CEO credits.
[00:52:45.000]
And then we've also created and this one is specifically for that teacher resource I mentioned. I will be covering this afternoon in the afternoon session, but we've created some folders there.
[00:52:59.000]
And this is an example of a document that we've created to. Get you right into that folder and add that folder to your own for educators.
[00:53:09.000]
Resource section that you have. So again, I'm going to cover that in the afternoon, but I did want to mention it for today's training just so you know that we have created a lot of things for you all to help you get that support that you need for your Gale resources.
[00:53:23.000]
The support site I shared at the beginning, this is where you're going to find all of those access URLs, this is librarians are always interested in the access URLs, the Mark records, they might need the database icons.
[00:53:36.000]
Where to contact someone directly at Gale, that information will be there. In the training center, this is where you might find some very helpful information like tip sheets and tutorials.
[00:53:46.000]
And I'm going to share that. I'm gonna go live into that right now and share it with you in a moment.
[00:53:47.000]
But tip sheets and tutorials or all the recorded webinars, the training decks are there.
[00:53:50.000]
So we have PowerPoints if you're training anyone in your building or you want to work with folks during PLC time?
[00:54:00.000]
You know, you're one of the curriculum instructors are also or coaches or You know, you're ahead of your your science department.
[00:54:07.000]
We have training decks ready to go for you all. To support that training. We also have lesson plans and projects and scavenger hunts available and like I mentioned those ready to go student activities.
[00:54:19.000]
Looking to market and share this information, you have marketing materials available also on the Gale Support site.
[00:54:26.000]
So with that let me go into I'm gonna go back to my. Browser and I want to share with you
[00:54:35.000]
I had it up there this. So here's the link again I shared at the beginning, anyone watching the recording, it was it's on the PowerPoint and I'll go back to that in a moment.
[00:54:46.000]
But you have that ability to sign in. I can find my school name here. And let me see if I can find.
[00:54:54.000]
No, but I don't think Mississippi Department of Ed has one on here. Sometimes like a general counter, if I'm working with a district or a state bill have an account there.
[00:55:03.000]
So you can find your school name. And I'm just gonna choose this first one. And then when I click proceed, everything that going to see like these direct URLs are specifically related to this site so this central high school that we have Elkhorn Central High School.
[00:55:23.000]
So everything is related specifically to the site. As far as these links are concerned, training materials are. General, they apply to everyone, so I'm going to go into training.
[00:55:29.000]
And this is where you're going to find all that information I just shared with you. You have the upcoming sessions.
[00:55:38.000]
That we have. Here's the one we're in right now. This will drop off here today.
[00:55:41.000]
And then here's the afternoon session. And I always post any webinars that we have live webinars upcoming here and you can always receive CU credits for attending the live webinars.
[00:55:53.000]
Just again, use that attendance certificate that I'm going to email out to you today and you'll receive that information.
[00:56:00.000]
You have that and you can get CU credits. Below these are where you're going to find any recorded webinar.
[00:56:06.000]
So if you can't attend the session on the in context resources, which is a second group, we have a recording that you can access.
[00:56:15.000]
We also have one for each individual resource. So you want to review on Gale Interactive Chemistry.
[00:56:21.000]
We have a thirty-minute webinar ready to go for you. You want to watch that recording and also get some CEO credits then go into the e-learning modules get those additional credits you've got a way to do this you know at home if you need to earn some credits and then again once a month I check.
[00:56:41.000]
The the, my responses to the questions and I send out those certificates. So all of those are available here.
[00:56:49.000]
Those we have some tip sheets available including that one that I mentioned that has a QR code with the folder and that is a related to this resource.
[00:56:58.000]
The Gale In context for educators. That's the teacher resource that we have and it brings together your gale resources into one spot for you all to work in and share content organized content plus it has amazing lesson plans with assessments attached.
[00:57:14.000]
Again, I'm going to cover that this afternoon, but we do have a recording on that resource if you want more information now and can't attend.
[00:57:23.000]
Here is that document I shared with you. That has the an overview of the information. So again, here's the teacher resource, the 2 in context resources that work together with that one.
[00:57:38.000]
And then what we did today, we covered all of your interactive resources. Science, chemistry, and human anatomy.
[00:57:45.000]
Then there's an additional page. This is contact information. For our internal folk at person at Gale and then we have some essential tools that we talk about.
[00:57:55.000]
And I covered these during today's training.
[00:58:02.000]
And then we also have that toolkit as I mentioned.
[00:58:07.000]
We're these, we've curated information for you. So here's the basics to get started.
[00:58:09.000]
Here's those get to know your resources session. If you want to take a deeper dive, we have some information there.
[00:58:16.000]
CEUs that you can receive and then any additional help you may need. We even have a linked out the Gale blog there too.
[00:58:32.000]
And then what I want to share with you is each of these resources also has training material available. So if I go into Gale Interactive Science, this is where I open it up at the very top.
[00:58:46.000]
Here are the activities I have available for my students. So here's an animal cell. Gale interactive science activity.
[00:58:53.000]
I open that up and this is a scavenger hunt.
[00:58:58.000]
If I go back. Here is my. Research Lab activity.
[00:59:05.000]
So we've created these for you. They are ready to go. You can just take them into your classroom and it tells you, you know, to use the Gale Interactive Science resource.
[00:59:13.000]
It walks through your students through. Some of that's a great place to to get started on some of these.
[00:59:19.000]
Here's Combined Research Lab. With Gale. You have both of these resources in contact science and Gale interactive science.
[00:59:28.000]
So that's using both. Here's that training deck I mentioned. Recorded webinars, tip sheets that we have available.
[00:59:31.000]
Another toolkit. This is specifically. For just our interactive resources. So we have all of this.
[00:59:43.000]
We've been working hard. You've got a group of teachers, former teachers, working on all of this content and pulling it together and creating.
[00:59:52.000]
Webinars and tip sheets and ready to go student activities all the things that we've been hearing requests for we've been working really hard on creating so that you can take this into your classroom and use it right away.
[01:00:06.000]
And then there's some short little video tutorials available too. They're under 2 to 3 min long those video tutorials but we have all of this for each of the resources.
[01:00:17.000]
That you have power search is a way to cross search through your in context resources. In this scenario, I It's always going to be loaded here.
[01:00:24.000]
I wouldn't suggest. Using it. I would really suggest having your students go into if they're looking at environmental studies or in context.
[01:00:32.000]
Rather than power searching through them or any of your interactives. Okay, let me know if you have.
[01:00:42.000]
Any questions? We do have, this is a shorter session. I know we said it for 90 min.
[01:00:48.000]
I was hoping to have some additional questions today. Let me share with you one more thing and that is your marketing materials.
[01:00:57.000]
Because if you're looking to promote this information, we do have that Mississippi Department of Ed. We have a brochure.
[01:01:05.000]
Available so if you're looking to promote these resources. We have a brochure ready to go.
[01:01:12.000]
That if you wanna share this content.
[01:01:16.000]
It's in your marketing section. So we've created one just specifically for Mississippi.
[01:01:23.000]
And that was right at the top. Here, all I did is I went into marketing and then it's right at the top.
[01:01:29.000]
Then you have product descriptions and banners and social media posts and flyers available. Every social media post you can think about and then if we have any principal tools they would be listed here tool.
[01:01:44.000]
Where do I get my login password for Gale on the MD site? I'm sorry if you have already answered this question.
[01:01:51.000]
Would this be? Nope it would be us at Gale and your password is.
[01:02:00.000]
It should be unless somebody changed it. Try Mississippi, all lowercase letters. Let me know. We do have some tech documents of available usually under technical documents and we see if they're linked here.
[01:02:08.000]
Yeah, working with the Gale interactive or we might add some. Of the, like Canvas and Schoology and those type that type of information, we sometimes add those technical documents there.
[01:02:27.000]
Alright, let me go back to my PowerPoint.
[01:02:34.000]
And
[01:02:40.000]
There we go. So we are at the a little bit before the end of our session. But I'll give you some of your time back today and still send out that training.
[01:02:47.000]
Certificate for the 90 min of time. I don't usually we have to get as close as possible to almost the full time.
[01:02:59.000]
So if you have any additional questions, I will stay on the line. Training support materials again are the on the Gale support site.
[01:03:06.000]
To talk a little bit more about your Gale customer success managers, again they're your one-on-one support and all things Gale and these are the folks to reach out to about Canvas and Schoology.
[01:03:18.000]
They can help with that. If they also help with any information on the Gale support site that I shared with you today, they can walk you through that information.
[01:03:28.000]
They work closely with our librarians and our administrators. So if you're, if you're a teacher and you're like, oh my gosh, my librarian really needs to know about this so she can put it up on our library website.
[01:03:38.000]
So our science teachers have access to this information. They can reach out directly to our customer success management team and work with them and talk to them about access and how should they put this on there and where the direct URLs and I want the icons they can help with all that information.
[01:03:54.000]
A training survey should pop up when you leave today. If you could open that up and answer those questions that would be really helpful to us at Gale.
[01:04:02.000]
Any comments that you have? There's a comment section there. We'd love to get your feedback.
[01:04:07.000]
Or if you'd like to use your phone, there's a QR code here and you could answer those questions right on your phone.
[01:04:13.000]
Again, my name is Tammi Burke. I'm your senior training. Consultant from Gale. And watch for my follow-up emails.
[01:04:22.000]
It takes 24 h before you receive the email with the links to And then I might I'll send that second one that'll have the attendant certificate.
[01:04:32.000]
So thank you for attending the live sessions today. And thank you for the questions that you asked. And And don't forget that you have access to the support site and go to that training center and that's where you find all of that great information.
[01:04:46.000]
But I thank you for your time today. And if you have any questions, let me know, but have a great rest of your day, everyone.
Welcome to your training for the Mississippi Department of Head. Today's training session is Enhancing Science Classrooms, Gale Interactive Resources.
[00:00:12.000]
My name is Tammi Burke and I am your Gale Trainer. Any questions that you have today?
[00:00:14.000]
Please feel free to ask in the Q&A box. It is open and available. Today's session, we are going to focus on 3 resources and that you have 3 interactive resources and these resources were purchased for all of you to supplement the secondary science instruction classroom.
[00:00:40.000]
So science lab activities, research, they're great for test prep. Kind of test prep that you're doing.
[00:00:49.000]
These resources are fantastic for because they are interactive and there are activities for each of the topics. So I'm excited to share them with you.
[00:00:58.000]
We will explore not only that content but also tools and features and I will also share tips and tricks with you about these gall resources.
[00:01:07.000]
Our agenda today, we are going to start with an overview of the 3 resources and then as I mentioned we'll be exploring that content features and workflow tools.
[00:01:17.000]
Any questions you have, please feel free to ask in the Q&A box. And I will also stand the line at the end if there's any additional.
[00:01:25.000]
Questions that you have and then Gale Support Site is what we will talk about at the end of today's training and that's where you can go for additional tools.
[00:01:32.000]
Support training materials, marketing materials. We've created everything for you. So they are all ready to go including some ready to go student activities that work with the Gale resources.
[00:01:48.000]
To access your Mississippi Department of Ed resources, you can use this link. I'm going to put it in the chat box right now.
[00:01:58.000]
There you go. Now what you'll want to do is Once you access this link, this is a good one to bookmark.
[00:02:05.000]
You will and you don't have to do this during today's training. Just just wanted to share this with you, but you can look for your school or your district if you do not see your schooler district.
[00:02:18.000]
Please let me know in the Q&A. And I am keeping note of those. It's something we're collecting right now because it's something we're working on.
[00:02:28.000]
Access for everyone in the state. But we're, you know, we're working with the Department of Ad on this right now.
[00:02:31.000]
So there's a little bit of a holding pattern. I was hoping that I'd have more information today, but as of this morning, I didn't have any additional information.
[00:02:42.000]
So let me know in that Q&A box. If you do not see your school or your district because once you do, you can click proceed and you'll have all of your direct URLs.
[00:02:49.000]
Available for all of the resources. Now this is a great place. Usually our librarians will take these direct URLs and add them to a library page.
[00:03:03.000]
You have more than 3 resources. You actually have 6 available. 5 of them are forced students and one is created for teachers and you'll see that in there it's scaling context for educators.
[00:03:15.000]
I will be covering the other 3 resources this afternoon in the afternoon session, but I will share this. These recordings that will they will be posted on the Gale support site that I mentioned to you.
[00:03:28.000]
You can you can see from even this link. The training section, that's where they're going to live.
[00:03:35.000]
There are already a library of these types of trainings available. Also, we have e-learning modules available that you can access, learn, answer some questions at the end and get CU credits for.
[00:03:44.000]
So keep that in mind. We've got a lot of tools already created. For these resources. So if you can't attend the afternoon session, that's okay.
[00:03:59.000]
We already have a library of trainings available. Just feel free to go in and access that information. And again, if you would like to get CEU credits, we have an e-learning module for every single one of these individual resources.
[00:04:08.000]
Now I did see a hand raise. I don't know if that was by accident. If you have a question you can use the Q&A box.
[00:04:16.000]
Feel free to do so. I know sometimes people accidentally hit that. My hand raised button there at the bottom.
[00:04:20.000]
So let me know if you have any questions about any of the access information I just shared. Again, everything is available.
[00:04:32.000]
Now, if you want to use these direct URLs and you have, you want to share them directly with your students.
[00:04:39.000]
You don't want to work with your library. I do suggest working with your library. Those librarians are fantastic.
[00:04:44.000]
And are able to put those digital resources in a nice safe place for everyone in the science department to access.
[00:04:45.000]
But maybe you have your own website or you're sharing using, you know, you want to add these to your learning management system.
[00:04:58.000]
We are integrated with Canvas and Schoology it does take some setup on the backside but just all different ways that you can share this link with your students or Google Classroom.
[00:05:03.000]
We are integrated with Google Classroom. So you can pull information out. From the resources and put it right into your Google classroom.
[00:05:16.000]
So all these things are available and I will share that with you today as we go through the resources, the individual resources.
[00:05:22.000]
So a lot of information that I just shared. To open it up, but I just don't know.
[00:05:26.000]
Everyone's if you even knew you had these resources available. So I like to give you as much.
[00:05:33.000]
During these overview sessions, much information as possible. So Gale Interactive Science Resources, you have Gale Interactive Science and this one is great for middle school and high school.
[00:05:48.000]
So seventh through twelfth grade because these are the all these resources are for secondary. And are available for our middle school and high schools.
[00:05:58.000]
Gale interactive science is a great one because it covers all subject areas. I shouldn't say all subject areas with science subject areas.
[00:06:06.000]
So it gives students a better visualization, understanding of concepts in biology and chemistry, earth and space science.
[00:06:14.000]
Users can manipulate and explore the threed models. And others reference content also. And you'll also find over 200 200 interactive lessons or interactive activities available.
[00:06:27.000]
The next resource you have is Gale Interactive Chemistry. So this is geared more towards our high school students.
[00:06:31.000]
But we do have middle schoolers that use it. It engages students and aids in that comprehension in the study of substances and how they interact, combine and change.
[00:06:45.000]
And chemistry students can explore elements reactions crystals molecules and this one has over 115 interactive sessions.
[00:06:53.000]
And the last resource that we will be going into today is Gale Interactive Human Anatomy. Very innovative learning aid helps students examine threed dissections, immerse themselves in interactive research.
[00:07:07.000]
This resource can be used for in-classroom demonstration just as the other 2 can or help with homework with over 125 interactive sessions.
[00:07:19.000]
So with that, we are going to go right into the resources and we are going to start with Gale Interactive Science.
[00:07:27.000]
So let me share that my screen with you. There we go. So Gale Interactive Science, again, this is a great one for our middle schoolers and our high schoolers and let's talk a little bit of what you're seeing on the homepage first.
[00:07:42.000]
It really does bring science to life. While supporting our middle school and high school curriculum and class work. And as I mentioned, test prep and I'll talk to you more about that when we go into the activities and how they can be used.
[00:07:56.000]
To help your students review before any assessments or they're great for any pre you're doing some teaching and you want to do a little bit of pre teaching and check for understanding.
[00:08:02.000]
There are great ones to use for that too. So let's talk about 3 learning paths that you have or browse options.
[00:08:14.000]
So you have the ability to search, there's a basic search bar right at the top where you can search for any activities by just putting in a search term.
[00:08:25.000]
So that's a quick way to find content. Over to the right you have the browse activity section and let me click into that.
[00:08:33.000]
So I'm in the upper right hand corner here. I can browse activities and it takes me to all and we have 219 now available all our activities with some filter options on the left hand side.
[00:08:46.000]
Including we have the NGSS standards. So if you're looking for activities related to a specific standard, you You can easily click into and I'm going to select this one.
[00:08:57.000]
And it'll filter down your activities to that specific standard. You'll also see the standard. Linked here at the bottom.
[00:09:05.000]
These are called tags. So you'll see the tags at the bottom with that. Here it is at the end of this this list here.
[00:09:15.000]
So that's our second option to browse. So again, we have Basic at the top.
[00:09:21.000]
We have our browse activities over to the right. And then finally we have the ability to search by subject category here on the homepage.
[00:09:31.000]
Biology, chemistry, earth science, human anatomy, and then we also have principal threed models.
[00:09:37.000]
So if you happen to have a threed printer We have printable models available. I'm going to start there.
[00:09:44.000]
So you can see all of the models that we have. Listed here, you can download the file and print those off.
[00:09:53.000]
Let me go back to that homepage. I like to suggest if this is new to your students and to you all, I do suggest looking at anything that is introductory or like this one welcome to Gale Interactive Science to get students started with the resource.
[00:10:05.000]
So you'll see in our chemistry there'll be an introduction to the periodic table. And that's one that I suggest for that resource to get started with.
[00:10:22.000]
So using these introductory sessions or to access and get used to accessing the information within the resources.
[00:10:29.000]
Really helpful for students, so please use those options at the top of the page.
[00:10:36.000]
Looking at our subject categories, I want to show you what it looks like when we access the subject such as biology.
[00:10:43.000]
I can click into the image. And what it does is it automatically selects everything in that subject category of biology.
[00:10:53.000]
So all of my activities, I have 91 activities that relate to biology and you can see Every sub subject is selected here.
[00:11:04.000]
And it's very similar. It takes you to when I click on browse activities, it's the same idea.
[00:11:08.000]
It's just a quicker way to access all of that content at once. And below each activity I have the title.
[00:11:14.000]
I have a bit of a summary and then I have all of those tags available. So I can see if any of them are related to an NGS standard.
[00:11:24.000]
I can also see the the subject or sub subject category here listed below. If I wanted to filtered.
[00:11:35.000]
So I've clicked on biology and maybe I don't want all of these. Maybe I just want cells and.
[00:11:42.000]
Take some of these off. Now, if you look, I did remove 3 subject categories, but it still says 91 searches.
[00:11:51.000]
The reason why it's doing that is because biology is still selected. So I would want to remove biology also.
[00:11:57.000]
So it's kind of a different way of having to select those. But just know that you can do that if you wanted to filter down that content.
[00:12:02.000]
You can easily do that. Selecting each one. Why would you do that? Collect, select biology and then remove and then go back in.
[00:12:16.000]
It might just be a path your students take. I just wanted to share that with you that if you don't remove that top one it's still going to give you all 91 results.
[00:12:23.000]
And you could just go through browse activities to do the same thing, but wanted to just share it because a lot of students will click on it and not understand so just wanted to make that aware to you all.
[00:12:32.000]
So you can see a lot of the the subjects that are left here in these categories as as I scroll down the page.
[00:12:41.000]
I know cells is something that your eighth graders have a big test coming up on and something that maybe some of your classrooms are working on.
[00:12:49.000]
So I always like to touch into that subject category. It's something that the Department of Ed has shared with us that is important to you all with getting that correct information.
[00:13:00.000]
For your students. So let's go into I showed you the NGSS standards. Let's go into animal cell.
[00:13:11.000]
And to click into the activity, I just click on the title. And it does take a little bit to load here a couple seconds.
[00:13:15.000]
This one loads pretty quick. My Wi-Fi is working nice and strong. This morning here in Michigan is the I'm watching the snow come down outside.
[00:13:24.000]
But you can see here we have that same information where we had the title, the summary, the tags.
[00:13:29.000]
But I also have some options here where I can share. I can share to any of these locations including email and Google Classroom if I'm using Google Classroom I can share directly to my classroom.
[00:13:40.000]
It does open in a new screen here. Hopefully, let me see. If it's sharing that.
[00:13:54.000]
I'll share my desktop. Hopefully it'll share perfectly. So you can see my Google classroom here.
[00:14:00.000]
I can choose my class.
[00:14:05.000]
Choose my action. Maybe I want to. Create an assignment, click go. Here's my assignment.
[00:14:12.000]
Let me know if you're not seeing. The Google Classroom pop up here on the page you should be but sometimes Zoom has a mind of its own.
[00:14:22.000]
So we're talking about animal cells.
[00:14:26.000]
And my instructions, I want them to. Maybe I want them to complete the activity.
[00:14:35.000]
And.
[00:14:39.000]
Review the
[00:14:43.000]
Reference content. Our reference information.
[00:14:49.000]
Okay, I can assign it to all students my points. When is it due? Let's give it a due date of Friday.
[00:14:59.000]
And I can enter time if I want to.
[00:15:06.000]
And then I click assign. Now what gives me the option? And a moment here. I'll be able to view this in my classrooms working taking a little bit of time.
[00:15:15.000]
Sometimes because these activities are larger files it takes a little bit of time.
[00:15:27.000]
Alright, I'll pull that back in and oh there we go, now it's open. Make sure it's still sharing.
[00:15:34.000]
Desktop. Okay, I can click view and what it does is it opens that tab up. And then I will have in class work.
[00:15:43.000]
There is my animal cells.
[00:15:47.000]
And I can go directly to that activity. Okay, so really easy to use in Google Classroom to share that content.
[00:15:57.000]
With your students. And all I did again was click on that Google Classroom and it pulled this all this information in directly into my Google classroom.
[00:16:08.000]
Okay, let's go down. Oh, a couple other things as far as sharing. If I wanted to link a link just to this activity, that's what this is here, this activity.
[00:16:16.000]
I can grab that link and post it wherever I'm working with students. For example, your learning management system or if you happen to be using one of our other resources, the one I mentioned to you that's a teacher resource, Galing context for educators.
[00:16:30.000]
You can use this is a great way to use this link and pull that this link into one of your folders that you've created in that resource.
[00:16:39.000]
And I know this probably isn't making a lot of sense to you if you're not familiar with that resource.
[00:16:44.000]
Again, it's something I will be covering this afternoon, but we also have a library of training on that resource too.
[00:16:50.000]
So it's a great way to share that content. Just know that you can grab a link to the activity or if you wanted to, these are, we call these slides, each of these individual slides up top.
[00:17:01.000]
I wanted a link just to an individual slide, I can share that too. Below I have all of the related.
[00:17:10.000]
Activities? And then on the right hand side, I have all of my reference content. And this reference content is coming from another resource that you have access to.
[00:17:16.000]
It's called Galing Context Science. It's also pulling in some periodical information from a resource that you don't have access to.
[00:17:29.000]
So you've got a lot of great reference content here. And it does adjust as I work through the slide that reference content will change.
[00:17:38.000]
Right now I'm on animal cells, so it's giving me information on cells. I have a lot of great tools available here, so let's say I needed to translate this text.
[00:17:49.000]
I could do that. We're at over 50 languages now. So I can translate this reference content.
[00:17:56.000]
I needed to increase that font size I can. Or Drease it. I have some display options where I can change the color behind the text.
[00:18:05.000]
I can change the font to open dyslexic. So all my tools to support accessibility are here.
[00:18:08.000]
These are across all of your Gale resources. You're going to find these tools to support accessibility.
[00:18:18.000]
And so I changed that display option. I can go back and make that. Go back to my default by opening that box back up.
[00:18:27.000]
And I can also listen to the text being read aloud to me. And if I've translated and then click that listen button.
[00:18:32.000]
It will read it to me in the translated text. Now we are at over 50 languages here. I, last time I checked, we were at 24, but I'd have to double check and see if that has increased at all.
[00:18:46.000]
It is the ones that are used the most often in that listen button. So, 24 that can be read aloud in a different language.
[00:18:54.000]
We have some quick send options. So if I just want this article information I can quickly send it to Google Microsoft email download or print I also you can see those tools up here at the top.
[00:19:05.000]
The sun too will give me Google Drive One Drive email that paper airplane. Same with download print.
[00:19:12.000]
I have get link and then. Highlights and notes. Highlights and notes. I have the ability to highlight a chunk of text.
[00:19:22.000]
So I can mark up a document. I can add some notes. I can save that information.
[00:19:30.000]
And then when I send it Google Onedrive, email, download or print, it'll remain marked up for me.
[00:19:37.000]
So that might be something, you know, if you're creating an an assignment. And you're sharing it to Google Classroom and you want your students to do some test prep.
[00:19:42.000]
And review. And you are want them to pull out content, maybe it's a discussion or a project or again for test prep.
[00:19:55.000]
This is something that they can do where they can highlight that information and then send it to their any of those locations I mentioned.
[00:19:59.000]
Google Microsoft, email, download, print. And it, what they've marked up and any notes they've taken will stay with them.
[00:20:10.000]
It turns it in. Let's say they're sending it to Google. It turns it into a Google Doc.
[00:20:12.000]
And it stays marked up. Okay, so just a feature that we have available. Again, this is across all of your Gale resources.
[00:20:21.000]
You'll find these tools and features available. Now let's get to the activity. So we have some different views available for our activity.
[00:20:31.000]
Does it work within Canvas? Vicky, great question. So our in context, that's the other, there's there's 3 resources that you have, are can be integrated right into Canvas.
[00:20:39.000]
And I have to double check on our interactives. There was a little bit different setup for Canvas.
[00:20:49.000]
I think schoology, it is not set up in yet, but Canvas. I believe that now we are able to set up this resource within Canvas before what I had told folks is if you wanted to share this information in Canvas, then use the link to the activity or link to the slide.
[00:21:05.000]
But I will what I'll do is I can double check on that and let you know. I looked at it and I know the URL is there but I want to double check with our so we have this list of getting that's needed for canvas and schoology.
[00:21:13.000]
I want to double check with our customer success managers and I might be able to do that before the end of the session today.
[00:21:24.000]
I can just send a quick message to make sure that it is working correctly within Canvas. Before I say yes, it's perfect.
[00:21:32.000]
So I just want to double check. I know that the capabilities are there, but I want their input because they're the they are the experts in this area to make sure that it is working the way that you would expect it to.
[00:21:44.000]
As our other Gale resources have. Now what does happen is, and I will share their contact information at the end, there is some setup on the backside.
[00:21:53.000]
And so your tech person or whomever sets up your canvas instance would have to get the information.
[00:21:58.000]
Gale to get it set up in Canvas. But it really is quite simple to do. It's like a secret and a key that's needed to get everything set up and then it'll be there in your your global navigation on the left-hand side within Canvas and you can embed content directly into your assignments.
[00:22:15.000]
It really is a seamless way to work. And thanks for asking about that. I appreciate that.
[00:22:23.000]
So I'll have an answer for you, hopefully before the end of the session here. So, looking at the activity, I want to show you a few different views.
[00:22:31.000]
So we have 2 views here. Let me click into this first one, this theater view. What's the theater view does is it opens up the activity a little larger and then below you still have all of your information you have the reference content still available and then again those related activities the ability to share information.
[00:22:54.000]
And then, Got my Mac mouse here. I have to be careful. You can zoom in and zoom out as you just saw.
[00:23:01.000]
And then the other version is full screen, which means that your reference content in all of this underneath is going to disappear because I'm going to have this full screen.
[00:23:11.000]
Now a couple ways I can go through this activity. I can click using or click or tap. You can see here using the arrows.
[00:23:20.000]
It'll take me through the information will change here. It'll also I can use my navigation at the bottom.
[00:23:28.000]
I'm gonna go back to theater view. Because I wanted to share with you, you can see now this reference content is changed.
[00:23:36.000]
Now we're in plasma membrane. And we're talking about the cell membrane here.
[00:23:41.000]
What I can do. And this is where the interactive piece comes in. You right-click.
[00:23:47.000]
You can rotate. The activity. So you can see for toss prep how this could be really helpful for students.
[00:23:56.000]
I can pull this apart. And even so some of these are labeled this just these dots means I what it does is it gives me the opportunity to move these.
[00:24:08.000]
On titles off to the side, but I can continue to dissect and pull this apart. What happens is I don't have a label here, but if I put my cursor over top, it will tell me what that.
[00:24:21.000]
Object I just pulled apart. This is a nucleus. It'll give me that label.
[00:24:29.000]
So I'm just left clicking and pulling it apart. Again, the right click rotates it and then on my mouse and it does I have to say it is so much easier to use your mouse than your mouse pad on a laptop.
[00:24:41.000]
I highly suggested you can you just have to be using really almost 2 hands on your. On your mouse on your on your laptop on that that pad it is a little bit more challenging it can be done so I do suggest tip and trick is make sure everybody has a mouse if they kind it makes it so much easier because they can right-click and rotate this as I as I shared before and then zoom in and zoom
[00:25:08.000]
out by. Using that roller ball or if you're on a mouse Mac just, dragging your finger on the top there.
[00:25:15.000]
Now what I also want to share with you, and when I go to the next slide, it will reset this last one.
[00:25:20.000]
So if I go back. That's a way to reset it. After you've pulled it apart.
[00:25:26.000]
But as I go through, what happens is not only will this information be changing on the left, it also is changing below, but I get to the point where I have some quiz questions.
[00:25:38.000]
And some of these activities have 3 questions, some of them have 5 questions. And some are multiple choice, some are matching where you're clicking and dragging.
[00:25:48.000]
This is asking where the cells DNA is stored when I answer correctly. I get the nice green screen.
[00:25:53.000]
These are not graded. This is formative. This is a way for them to check for understanding.
[00:25:59.000]
It's a way for them to review. It's a way for them to prepare for the test.
[00:26:03.000]
Think about, I'm going to show you another activity here in just a moment. And, but I wanted to just click through.
[00:26:11.000]
So this is clicking on and.
[00:26:15.000]
If you get incorrect, you get the red box. I can go to the last question. Then answer that question and when I get it wrong I get again that red box.
[00:26:25.000]
I didn't even read the question. There we go. So.
[00:26:33.000]
I can restart that activity. Or I can go on to the next one. Now I do want to share with you Another activity.
[00:26:41.000]
I'm going to go into a dissection. Of the cat because this one really when you maybe I should do fetal pig.
[00:26:51.000]
I used to do cat all the time and I would present this to. Librarians and and kids too.
[00:26:59.000]
Might have a problem with cat. So let's go to So nobody is like, oh, I don't like that.
[00:27:04.000]
I know it's in a different category outside of cells, but. And let me load fetal pig.
[00:27:08.000]
There we go. And I'm gonna make this theater screen too. So again, I can rotate.
[00:27:14.000]
This is the one too where if you are. Disecting and the reason why I use this as an example is if So a lot of things.
[00:27:23.000]
Sometimes. Funding. Funding is a challenge for labs, right? So funding to do a fetal pig dissection may not be there.
[00:27:32.000]
This is a way that you can still utilize this within your science lab within your science classroom. This content that you have available by using this interactive activity.
[00:27:44.000]
Also, this is a great way to prepare students before they get to dissecting the fetal pig if you do happen to have funding.
[00:27:53.000]
This is a great way to prepare them for it. And then also think about the review. I know in our science labs that the parts of the pig after a dissection.
[00:28:06.000]
For an exam, our labeled with tags and the students have to identify that part. This is a way for them to review that information.
[00:28:15.000]
They can if and you can work through this as a whole group first. The very first time before you do the dissection.
[00:28:20.000]
And then after, again, your students can use this to prepare for their exam. So it's a great way to review.
[00:28:30.000]
And again, here you can see how much more detailed this is. This is looking at the muscles.
[00:28:36.000]
Then we're looking at the skeleton and again. I can rotate this so you can really get all views of this fetal pig.
[00:28:47.000]
And if I need to start dissecting digitally, I can do that. It's again interactive.
[00:28:54.000]
And again, it will. When I put my cursor over top. Should label it here. It's taking a second.
[00:29:01.000]
It'll label each part too. Sometimes Zoom bogs down my system a little bit, so just to let you know.
[00:29:10.000]
So you can really utilize these interactive activities for your students in so many different ways. And, and as I mentioned, that reference content is there too.
[00:29:17.000]
We even have. To continue to supplement your curriculum. We even have the ability to go to related articles.
[00:29:24.000]
So here's related articles on the digestive system. So I can go to. Related content.
[00:29:37.000]
Also, or the stomach. If I'm struggling with the term, I can highlight that term and then my highlights and note box pops up, but if I click define, it'll give me a page in the Webster's dictionary.
[00:29:52.000]
Okay, so all that can be done there with that reference content. Oh my goodness.
[00:29:58.000]
I will say a regular mouse is a little bit easier to use than your Mac mouse. So be careful when you click into it and zoom you really do zoom in.
[00:30:07.000]
Again, I'm just clicking through those activities.
[00:30:13.000]
Going over the nervous system and then here's a quiz. So this one has 2 questions.
[00:30:19.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions about anything I've gone over. We talked about all of the tools to support accessibility for the reference content.
[00:30:31.000]
Here at the top. And then we went through some of those activities for interactive science. What I would like to do now is switch gears and go into our next resource.
[00:30:43.000]
There's a lot of before I do, let me share with you another way to use your tag.
[00:30:48.000]
So I'm going to go into browse activities. And if another way to use your tags, let's say I'm looking for, again, I'm looking for a standard.
[00:30:56.000]
And I want everything for a specific. Standard, all the activities related to a specific standard. I can select that on the left hand side or maybe I find one that I'm interested in.
[00:31:14.000]
And I select the tag underneath. It'll automatically take me to all of the. All of the activities that have that same standard.
[00:31:25.000]
So that's another way to use your tags or a certain subject. Sub-subject, this one's zoology.
[00:31:33.000]
So that's another way to find that content. So you have a lot of ways to browse, but quick ways to to filter down to specific content.
[00:31:41.000]
So if I did this one, you can see I've got 2 standards tagged. For the NGSS standards, which I know is something that you use there in Mississippi.
[00:31:50.000]
Okay. And I do have to say the dissections are very interesting. We do have so you have Gale interactive science and you do have some chemistry.
[00:32:01.000]
And some human anatomy here. But not even close to what you have when you have the full suite or the whole entire resource available.
[00:32:04.000]
And I have been to, you know, I've done my share of trainings in Mississippi since you've had access to these resources.
[00:32:15.000]
And I did here specifically I had 2 chemistry teachers in one of my sessions and then also human anatomy.
[00:32:23.000]
These are AP teachers and they shared with me that they really don't have. The they don't have textbooks the way for those classes they need more than what they have available and they were so excited about these interactive resources because it gave them that missing piece that they needed for their classrooms.
[00:32:36.000]
So again, Gale Interactive Science covers all of those subject categories. Is a great one for our middle school students and high school students and then has also the threed printable models.
[00:32:54.000]
Now what I'm going to do now is go into Gale Interactive Chemistry, let me know if you have any additional questions.
[00:33:01.000]
And let me show you what you're going to find in Gale Interactive Chemistry.
[00:33:07.000]
So again, as I mentioned, Gale interactive chemistry, if you have that ability, you know, have your students start with the welcome activity or this one specifically has an introduction to the periodic table.
[00:33:19.000]
So again, we have the same search options basic at the top, browse activities, and then we have the subject categories where you have elements.
[00:33:21.000]
Molecules and compounds, reactions, crystals, and advanced reactions. So instead of threed models, we have advanced reactions here at the bottom.
[00:33:36.000]
Interactive activities. What's different here within this resource and we're going to use the periodic table as an example is we're on a workstation.
[00:33:47.000]
So let me share with you what that looks like. Again, we have. Our reference content on the right, our ability to share this information.
[00:33:56.000]
Related activities are listed here below. But you can see the image looks this almost the same in every single one.
[00:33:57.000]
Because we are working on, well, we're also on the periodic table, so if I were to go into advanced reactions, it would look different.
[00:34:09.000]
But we're on this workstation. So this is also interactive. Let me change that view.
[00:34:15.000]
I can rotate. See you can see how. I could see different I can see different elements properties.
[00:34:23.000]
Let me
[00:34:26.000]
All of it is interactive. So if I wanted certain properties like. Electronegativity.
[00:34:33.000]
It adjusts on my screen on my worktop.
[00:34:38.000]
You can see all of the views here.
[00:34:42.000]
I also, it's interactive. Let me go. Try to zoom. This one's a little trickier.
[00:34:50.000]
If I wanted to access my metals. Maybe I want this one. Again, there my screen changes.
[00:34:59.000]
And I can see I can zoom in on that. Okay, information bear with me here. It's tricky with this mouse.
[00:35:08.000]
Okay, let me reset it. There we go. So that zoom in and zoom out hover over you can see over here to the right hover over for mouse hints.
[00:35:21.000]
I can start my activity. I was just showing you how to Kind of manipulate that desktop there.
[00:35:26.000]
Or workstation that you have. But you can see even movement here on the page. So when you're talking about chemistry, especially those advanced reactions.
[00:35:39.000]
That was something I heard when I, again, when I was working with those chemistry teachers that was they were really excited about.
[00:35:43.000]
I know that students that's an area that students struggle with and to see it visually can be really helpful.
[00:35:54.000]
I mean you might have models in the in the classroom that you're able to use but here they can access this anywhere anywhere they can access the link on a browser they can access this information so they're able to access this at home and again do that.
[00:36:06.000]
Do that test prep. And then interact with the periodic table. It's not just flat in front of them.
[00:36:15.000]
Or that advanced reaction, you know, if they can manipulate it in the classroom, but then also manipulate it digitally.
[00:36:22.000]
They live in a much more digital age now, so that can be a really helpful tool for your students to have this information in this content.
[00:36:32.000]
So here's I'll just start sharing with you and then clicking on some of the properties and it's adjusting on the screen and on the back of the screen here too you can see the adjustment.
[00:36:43.000]
If I add in
[00:36:48.000]
Here are the metals.
[00:36:54.000]
And then again, I can rotate and look down on this if I'm. That's the view I want.
[00:37:03.000]
I have that option available. Okay, and then I work through those activities. And This one is an introduction, so it has, it just takes me through, it's introducing that periodic table, right?
[00:37:18.000]
So
[00:37:22.000]
I can work through the elements, the element properties. Again, still interactive even though I'm.
[00:37:29.000]
Totally zoomed in here, understanding the metals.
[00:37:35.000]
Electron configuration.
[00:37:40.000]
I'm just going to click all the way through to the end. Which gives me the opportunity to explore.
[00:37:46.000]
And that's this is where that introduction piece comes into play where you want your students to take time to explore this tool.
[00:37:50.000]
Have fun using that feature and then come back in any time they need to use this first study aid or to interact with any course concepts.
[00:38:03.000]
So again, those that's a great place to start. Your students out is that introduction and it is here.
[00:38:08.000]
It's the second slide in.
[00:38:11.000]
And you'll find it here below 2 in the subject categories. Same similar to our Gale interactive science where I click into any of the Let's go into advanced reactions.
[00:38:25.000]
Click into the subject and then all of those activities are listed below.
[00:38:31.000]
Everything is selected here now. What you won't find is the NGSS standards. The NGSS standards live solely in Gale interactive science.
[00:38:42.000]
So keep that in mind. It we do have them there and we do have all those activities tagged within that resource.
[00:38:44.000]
The Gale and Active Science is a little bit more higher level. It's more for our AP classes.
[00:38:55.000]
So we did not include it here, but we do have it in Gale Interactive Science. So you won't find it here or in human anatomy.
[00:38:59.000]
So if you're looking for it, don't don't be alarmed. I just wanted to give you a heads up.
[00:39:04.000]
You get to that point. I'm just going to select this first one and you can see how this looks a little different.
[00:39:11.000]
The periodic table gives us everything, but we're still working within that workstation. And I still have that ability to link.
[00:39:18.000]
The activity or link to the slide. Pull this into Google Classroom. But here you can see it's still another activity.
[00:39:27.000]
I can start the activity and it takes me through. This advanced reaction.
[00:39:36.000]
Which again, I'm not a chemistry teacher, but I had did have the, like I said, those chemistry teachers in.
[00:39:43.000]
One of my training sessions and they were very Not only excited, but just shared that how helpful this tool is going to be for their students.
[00:39:52.000]
Because this concept is harder to teach within the classroom.
[00:39:57.000]
And having the having the ability to work through this activity was going to help a lot of their students. So I know I have.
[00:40:05.000]
In my own household. Some one that's going to PA school. So this this resource was really helpful when she had her chemistry classes in college and then one who was currently at Michigan State and wants to work for NASA one day.
[00:40:16.000]
So she's this all in this stem is her, her where she lives and she loves it.
[00:40:26.000]
So, but this was challenging. I'll have to say when she had it in high school, advanced that AP chemistry was challenging the advanced reactions were harder.
[00:40:34.000]
So and she's very visual. So this was a really helpful tool. And again, great for test prep.
[00:40:42.000]
Or pre teaching or to teach a concept, you know, you have different ways that you can teach a concept to your students and this is just another option to put in your toolbox.
[00:40:51.000]
That you have that you pull from that we all do as teachers you're always pulling out that information to share because every student learns a little differently.
[00:40:55.000]
And I know how helpful this was for. For my kids. My third one is going into computer science, so he doesn't really use this and he loved chemistry in high school.
[00:41:05.000]
He took every advanced class you could. But then I don't, he doesn't really have it now because he's going into engineering.
[00:41:16.000]
So. Little different. You do have reactions. Elements crystals available.
[00:41:23.000]
Let me go into crystals. And here's see any introductions. Are really helpful so you've got some introductions here to crystals.
[00:41:35.000]
So very helpful to teach within the classroom. If I wanted to select everything in a category and I'm already here on the browse activities and I wanted all of the elements.
[00:41:47.000]
I can easily do that and it will filter that. Down 43 it did it I did well that was a top one that's probably why Let me remove that one.
[00:41:55.000]
There you can see it adjusted. It lists them in order too.
[00:42:03.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions really. Oh, here's a quiz. Let's go through that.
[00:42:09.000]
Really it's understanding what information. You have available within each of these like the different content then 2 looking at those workstations and knowing that this is going to look a little different than our Gale interactive science.
[00:42:28.000]
Those activities are slightly different than what you would do in chemistry. Okay, so here's another activity that I can work through.
[00:42:35.000]
I just always have to click that start button. And then I can work through.
[00:42:43.000]
And here this one has questions too. So I'm go right into the quizzes on this one.
[00:42:48.000]
So they're all a little different.
[00:42:52.000]
Different content you have available. Alright, I am going to go, let me make sure we covered everything here again.
[00:42:59.000]
Same similar platform. So really the biggest difference here besides all of the content having so much more is the advanced reactions.
[00:43:07.000]
Now let's go into our final interactive resource and that is Gale interactive human anatomy.
[00:43:19.000]
Any introduction sessions, I suggest or sessions, I should suggest you go in there. This one has systems regions and then this also has threed printable models so that's the additional tool there you can see I believe this is the heart.
[00:43:34.000]
Yeah. So this is the human anatomy. 3D printable models that you have available. If you have a 3D printer.
[00:43:44.000]
So let's say, so we talked about. We've done the browse activities multiple times.
[00:43:48.000]
Let's do a search. This time, let's do it on the heart.
[00:43:55.000]
And you can see what activities I have available. Hart anatomy, circulation, and then the long anatomy because the heart is a part of that.
[00:44:05.000]
Let's go into Heart Anatomy. This is a fun one too to really. Pull apart.
[00:44:12.000]
And rotate and do that dissection. You can see this one has a lot more slides. But as I work through it.
[00:44:20.000]
Same idea where I get That summary of information on the left. I have these tags. I can.
[00:44:29.000]
Dissect, rotate.
[00:44:34.000]
And then of course I have all those different views and as I work through that content. My reference content here below.
[00:44:43.000]
Continues to change.
[00:44:47.000]
And this one has, I think this one has 5 questions. Yeah. Let me see if I can get some of these correct.
[00:44:55.000]
So question one. Sure.
[00:45:00.000]
Nope, I know that time it took me a couple times to get this correct. I have a question that came through.
[00:45:05.000]
Is this an annual subscription or do you just purchase each individual activity? Can the district pay for all the resources to your amongst all the science teachers.
[00:45:12.000]
Okay, great question. So this is an annual subscription. It's not in you don't have to purchase the in it the activities individually.
[00:45:23.000]
So if you purchase If this resource is purchased, you get everything within that resource. It's not an individual activity purchase.
[00:45:31.000]
Can the district pay for all the resources? Yes, they can absolutely do that and pay for them for your science teachers.
[00:45:38.000]
Right now, the Mississippi Department of Ed is providing these. And there I think it's until the fall.
[00:45:40.000]
That you have access so you will have these till you know through the end of this school year and then hopefully be on but right now the Mississippi Department of Ed has purchased these so it's not something your district needs to purchase at this time.
[00:45:55.000]
Again, if you are not, Destiny, if you're not seeing your. I shared with you at the beginning take a look at that link that I posted in the chat and find your district or your school and if you're not seeing it there, let me know in the Q&A box.
[00:46:14.000]
I will get that information to the correct folks at Gale and see what we can do to get things underway for you all to have access. Okay.
[00:46:22.000]
But you may already be set up or You may, our customer success managers may have been reaching out to folks in your district and to onboard them.
[00:46:27.000]
And haven't been able to reach anyone. We found that a couple times too that's been a we've been constantly.
[00:46:33.000]
Reaching out and it's some of our contact information is not necessarily the correct content information. So we've been having to work through all of that too to make sure that everybody is gets the links and gets the information.
[00:46:49.000]
So let me know, but thanks for asking about that. But yes, once you purchase, you know, the, it's the whole resource.
[00:46:56.000]
The whole resource has been, has been purchased by the Mississippi Department of Ed. So you get access to everything.
[00:47:01.000]
It's not an individual. Activity but can you in addition to Yeah, absolutely. I'm not in sales, but we have great salespeople that if you that's something that you're interested in you know down the road or or act you know purchasing anything else from Gale our sales people would love to to reach out and talk so feel free to drop in any information that you would like and I'll be happy to make
[00:47:24.000]
sure again you have access through the Mississippi Department of Ed and then any contact information of folks that we should be talking to.
[00:47:32.000]
That would be greatly appreciated. So thanks for asking that question.
[00:47:37.000]
Okay, so what I wanted to share with you, I lost my train of thought is oh doing we did a search again if I go into any of the individual subject categories it looks the same just the content is quite different here in human anatomy right you're going to get that very detailed especially when you're looking at any of this the circulatory system and looking at that you're really getting those details in these activities.
[00:48:07.000]
It's so fantastic. I remember when this resource first we first launched this at Gale years ago and we didn't have that many activities we had a few and it's just grown so much over the years and and is such a great tool and we see this used not only and in our secondary with our secondary schools in K 12 but we see it used at the higher ed level too so this is a resource that if you're teaching those AP
[00:48:35.000]
classes, especially if you're teaching those AP classes, it's especially if you're teaching those AP classes it's being used at the higher ed level also, it's being used at the higher ed level also, especially chemistry and human anatomy, especially chemistry and human anatomy.
[00:48:42.000]
We see that a lot for those, especially chemistry and human anatomy. We see that a lot for those, you know, secondary schools and human anatomy.
[00:48:45.000]
We see that a lot for those, you know, secondary schools, higher ed, academic level. So it is another resource that is being used there too.
[00:48:46.000]
So your students are getting that information before they go on to college, which is really an awesome opportunity for them.
[00:48:59.000]
So this one has quite a few. Again, human anatomy. So you're going to have a need more of that detailed approach and those activities are going to have much more They're available or much more content available.
[00:49:14.000]
But they work through the same. Hopefully you're excited to take a look at these. I know I know I was the first time I saw them and I love any opportunity I get to share and do some training on these resources.
[00:49:27.000]
So let me go into, we, we have some time left. I want to share with you where you can go for support because we covered all of the great contents.
[00:49:37.000]
There's so there's so much content of available. The nice thing again is the tools and features are the same so that makes it simple for you all.
[00:49:40.000]
If you're in one resource they all the functionality is the same across all of them so it makes it really easy.
[00:49:50.000]
As you're working through those resources and The Canvas question came up. If in the meantime, if you don't have it, your resources set up in Canvas, don't forget you have that ability to grab a link to the activity or a link to the slide.
[00:50:06.000]
Don't use the URL. At the top. Always use within the product itself. You know use the link to the activity or link to the slide or if you wanted to grab a link to the reference content.
[00:50:16.000]
We have over here in the upper right you have the get link tool and that'll take you to this reference content.
[00:50:25.000]
So you can just grab a link to this reference content and share it with your students too. Okay, so in the meantime with the.
[00:50:34.000]
If you're using camps or anywhere anywhere you share this information with your students, you can provide that link.
[00:50:35.000]
Okay, let me go back to my PowerPoint and share with you. Couple slides because and then I'll share with you where you can find this information on the Gale Support site.
[00:50:52.000]
So we have some new support materials and these were created specifically for our Mississippi science educators. We have some new training materials.
[00:51:00.000]
There is an overview. Of all of the resources you have available. So this is a two-page document and where your internal folks can go for support.
[00:51:06.000]
So if you have a person that, yep, this person is in charge of our science department and they need to or this administrator, you can give them Christine's information.
[00:51:18.000]
It's right at the bottom of the document there. And she will reach out directly, do some onboarding, and make sure you know you all have access.
[00:51:26.000]
Set up correctly and help with any support that you may need.
[00:51:33.000]
We've also created a training toolkit. This training toolkit is a great place to get started.
[00:51:38.000]
So it gives you the basics. It's ways to get connected to the content. It talks about here's the introductory session similar to this one just shorter.
[00:51:48.000]
That you have available all of those e-learning modules are there and available so you can access that information and then if you're looking for additional support, Canvas, for example, this is you can reach out directly to or have your tech folks reach out to Christine and she can work through and help with that process.
[00:52:10.000]
So that training toolkit is available. We have. E-learning Cu's and folders.
[00:52:17.000]
So we have this is one of the e learning modules so you can see it's just a video.
[00:52:23.000]
Webinar that you have available. It does start with an introduction and then at the end there are 5 questions.
[00:52:30.000]
They're quite easy questions that I created for you all. That you can fill out at the end of the session.
[00:52:37.000]
And once you do, I do check that once a month. I'll send a certificate over to you and you can use that to get your CEO credits.
[00:52:45.000]
And then we've also created and this one is specifically for that teacher resource I mentioned. I will be covering this afternoon in the afternoon session, but we've created some folders there.
[00:52:59.000]
And this is an example of a document that we've created to. Get you right into that folder and add that folder to your own for educators.
[00:53:09.000]
Resource section that you have. So again, I'm going to cover that in the afternoon, but I did want to mention it for today's training just so you know that we have created a lot of things for you all to help you get that support that you need for your Gale resources.
[00:53:23.000]
The support site I shared at the beginning, this is where you're going to find all of those access URLs, this is librarians are always interested in the access URLs, the Mark records, they might need the database icons.
[00:53:36.000]
Where to contact someone directly at Gale, that information will be there. In the training center, this is where you might find some very helpful information like tip sheets and tutorials.
[00:53:46.000]
And I'm going to share that. I'm gonna go live into that right now and share it with you in a moment.
[00:53:47.000]
But tip sheets and tutorials or all the recorded webinars, the training decks are there.
[00:53:50.000]
So we have PowerPoints if you're training anyone in your building or you want to work with folks during PLC time?
[00:54:00.000]
You know, you're one of the curriculum instructors are also or coaches or You know, you're ahead of your your science department.
[00:54:07.000]
We have training decks ready to go for you all. To support that training. We also have lesson plans and projects and scavenger hunts available and like I mentioned those ready to go student activities.
[00:54:19.000]
Looking to market and share this information, you have marketing materials available also on the Gale Support site.
[00:54:26.000]
So with that let me go into I'm gonna go back to my. Browser and I want to share with you
[00:54:35.000]
I had it up there this. So here's the link again I shared at the beginning, anyone watching the recording, it was it's on the PowerPoint and I'll go back to that in a moment.
[00:54:46.000]
But you have that ability to sign in. I can find my school name here. And let me see if I can find.
[00:54:54.000]
No, but I don't think Mississippi Department of Ed has one on here. Sometimes like a general counter, if I'm working with a district or a state bill have an account there.
[00:55:03.000]
So you can find your school name. And I'm just gonna choose this first one. And then when I click proceed, everything that going to see like these direct URLs are specifically related to this site so this central high school that we have Elkhorn Central High School.
[00:55:23.000]
So everything is related specifically to the site. As far as these links are concerned, training materials are. General, they apply to everyone, so I'm going to go into training.
[00:55:29.000]
And this is where you're going to find all that information I just shared with you. You have the upcoming sessions.
[00:55:38.000]
That we have. Here's the one we're in right now. This will drop off here today.
[00:55:41.000]
And then here's the afternoon session. And I always post any webinars that we have live webinars upcoming here and you can always receive CU credits for attending the live webinars.
[00:55:53.000]
Just again, use that attendance certificate that I'm going to email out to you today and you'll receive that information.
[00:56:00.000]
You have that and you can get CU credits. Below these are where you're going to find any recorded webinar.
[00:56:06.000]
So if you can't attend the session on the in context resources, which is a second group, we have a recording that you can access.
[00:56:15.000]
We also have one for each individual resource. So you want to review on Gale Interactive Chemistry.
[00:56:21.000]
We have a thirty-minute webinar ready to go for you. You want to watch that recording and also get some CEO credits then go into the e-learning modules get those additional credits you've got a way to do this you know at home if you need to earn some credits and then again once a month I check.
[00:56:41.000]
The the, my responses to the questions and I send out those certificates. So all of those are available here.
[00:56:49.000]
Those we have some tip sheets available including that one that I mentioned that has a QR code with the folder and that is a related to this resource.
[00:56:58.000]
The Gale In context for educators. That's the teacher resource that we have and it brings together your gale resources into one spot for you all to work in and share content organized content plus it has amazing lesson plans with assessments attached.
[00:57:14.000]
Again, I'm going to cover that this afternoon, but we do have a recording on that resource if you want more information now and can't attend.
[00:57:23.000]
Here is that document I shared with you. That has the an overview of the information. So again, here's the teacher resource, the 2 in context resources that work together with that one.
[00:57:38.000]
And then what we did today, we covered all of your interactive resources. Science, chemistry, and human anatomy.
[00:57:45.000]
Then there's an additional page. This is contact information. For our internal folk at person at Gale and then we have some essential tools that we talk about.
[00:57:55.000]
And I covered these during today's training.
[00:58:02.000]
And then we also have that toolkit as I mentioned.
[00:58:07.000]
We're these, we've curated information for you. So here's the basics to get started.
[00:58:09.000]
Here's those get to know your resources session. If you want to take a deeper dive, we have some information there.
[00:58:16.000]
CEUs that you can receive and then any additional help you may need. We even have a linked out the Gale blog there too.
[00:58:32.000]
And then what I want to share with you is each of these resources also has training material available. So if I go into Gale Interactive Science, this is where I open it up at the very top.
[00:58:46.000]
Here are the activities I have available for my students. So here's an animal cell. Gale interactive science activity.
[00:58:53.000]
I open that up and this is a scavenger hunt.
[00:58:58.000]
If I go back. Here is my. Research Lab activity.
[00:59:05.000]
So we've created these for you. They are ready to go. You can just take them into your classroom and it tells you, you know, to use the Gale Interactive Science resource.
[00:59:13.000]
It walks through your students through. Some of that's a great place to to get started on some of these.
[00:59:19.000]
Here's Combined Research Lab. With Gale. You have both of these resources in contact science and Gale interactive science.
[00:59:28.000]
So that's using both. Here's that training deck I mentioned. Recorded webinars, tip sheets that we have available.
[00:59:31.000]
Another toolkit. This is specifically. For just our interactive resources. So we have all of this.
[00:59:43.000]
We've been working hard. You've got a group of teachers, former teachers, working on all of this content and pulling it together and creating.
[00:59:52.000]
Webinars and tip sheets and ready to go student activities all the things that we've been hearing requests for we've been working really hard on creating so that you can take this into your classroom and use it right away.
[01:00:06.000]
And then there's some short little video tutorials available too. They're under 2 to 3 min long those video tutorials but we have all of this for each of the resources.
[01:00:17.000]
That you have power search is a way to cross search through your in context resources. In this scenario, I It's always going to be loaded here.
[01:00:24.000]
I wouldn't suggest. Using it. I would really suggest having your students go into if they're looking at environmental studies or in context.
[01:00:32.000]
Rather than power searching through them or any of your interactives. Okay, let me know if you have.
[01:00:42.000]
Any questions? We do have, this is a shorter session. I know we said it for 90 min.
[01:00:48.000]
I was hoping to have some additional questions today. Let me share with you one more thing and that is your marketing materials.
[01:00:57.000]
Because if you're looking to promote this information, we do have that Mississippi Department of Ed. We have a brochure.
[01:01:05.000]
Available so if you're looking to promote these resources. We have a brochure ready to go.
[01:01:12.000]
That if you wanna share this content.
[01:01:16.000]
It's in your marketing section. So we've created one just specifically for Mississippi.
[01:01:23.000]
And that was right at the top. Here, all I did is I went into marketing and then it's right at the top.
[01:01:29.000]
Then you have product descriptions and banners and social media posts and flyers available. Every social media post you can think about and then if we have any principal tools they would be listed here tool.
[01:01:44.000]
Where do I get my login password for Gale on the MD site? I'm sorry if you have already answered this question.
[01:01:51.000]
Would this be? Nope it would be us at Gale and your password is.
[01:02:00.000]
It should be unless somebody changed it. Try Mississippi, all lowercase letters. Let me know. We do have some tech documents of available usually under technical documents and we see if they're linked here.
[01:02:08.000]
Yeah, working with the Gale interactive or we might add some. Of the, like Canvas and Schoology and those type that type of information, we sometimes add those technical documents there.
[01:02:27.000]
Alright, let me go back to my PowerPoint.
[01:02:34.000]
And
[01:02:40.000]
There we go. So we are at the a little bit before the end of our session. But I'll give you some of your time back today and still send out that training.
[01:02:47.000]
Certificate for the 90 min of time. I don't usually we have to get as close as possible to almost the full time.
[01:02:59.000]
So if you have any additional questions, I will stay on the line. Training support materials again are the on the Gale support site.
[01:03:06.000]
To talk a little bit more about your Gale customer success managers, again they're your one-on-one support and all things Gale and these are the folks to reach out to about Canvas and Schoology.
[01:03:18.000]
They can help with that. If they also help with any information on the Gale support site that I shared with you today, they can walk you through that information.
[01:03:28.000]
They work closely with our librarians and our administrators. So if you're, if you're a teacher and you're like, oh my gosh, my librarian really needs to know about this so she can put it up on our library website.
[01:03:38.000]
So our science teachers have access to this information. They can reach out directly to our customer success management team and work with them and talk to them about access and how should they put this on there and where the direct URLs and I want the icons they can help with all that information.
[01:03:54.000]
A training survey should pop up when you leave today. If you could open that up and answer those questions that would be really helpful to us at Gale.
[01:04:02.000]
Any comments that you have? There's a comment section there. We'd love to get your feedback.
