Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.469]
Hello, everyone and welcome to our Gale
[00:00:07.618]
101 session. Today we're talking about
[00:00:09.898]
Gale In Context: High School. My
[00:00:11.989]
name is Amber Winters and I am a senior training
[00:00:14.358]
consultant here with Gale
[00:00:16.539]
and I'm excited to be working with you all today.
[00:00:20.170]
So a quick agenda here. First, we're going to just
[00:00:22.208]
go over what the resource itself is,
[00:00:24.399]
what you can expect to find some
[00:00:26.589]
of the different features available. Then
[00:00:28.649]
we'll talk about some of the key content you're going
[00:00:30.760]
to see specifically the key content
[00:00:32.810]
types. So things like biographies.
[00:00:35.298]
we'll go over all of the good stuff you're going to find,
[00:00:37.959]
but we'll spend the majority of the time actually
[00:00:40.020]
walking through the resource so we can kind of get
[00:00:42.098]
a feel of what your users are going to
[00:00:44.118]
be experiencing. So some of the workflows
[00:00:46.179]
that might be beneficial for them. We'll take
[00:00:48.298]
a look at filtering, we'll take a look at topic pages.
[00:00:50.848]
We're going to try to hit everything we can in the resource
[00:00:53.179]
today with our 30 minutes
[00:00:55.020]
and then at the very end of the session, we should have
[00:00:57.130]
some time for any questions you have
[00:00:59.179]
that I wasn't able to hit as
[00:01:01.189]
we move along the session and I do have some contact
[00:01:03.478]
information for you as well.
[00:01:05.540]
But again, if you do have questions, don't feel like
[00:01:07.569]
you need to wait until the very end of the session, I
[00:01:09.698]
would love to answer them for you as they come up.
[00:01:11.808]
So feel free when you think of them to put
[00:01:13.918]
them into that Q and A and I'll be able to get those answered.
[00:01:18.558]
So, Galen context high school, now this
[00:01:20.599]
is an age appropriate resource that we've developed
[00:01:22.980]
specifically for high schoolers as you
[00:01:25.028]
would expect from the title.
[00:01:27.790]
Um And it is developed though from beginner
[00:01:30.019]
to advanced high school level students.
[00:01:32.588]
So those in ninth grade who are just starting
[00:01:34.879]
to kind of dig into that higher level content
[00:01:37.290]
all the way up to 12th graders who are actually
[00:01:39.379]
getting into academic works and kind of starting
[00:01:41.609]
to explore academic journals, every
[00:01:44.299]
level between that they're going to find
[00:01:46.418]
content here within this resource.
[00:01:49.109]
And this is a very broad resource. It is
[00:01:51.239]
cross curricular. So you'll find things
[00:01:53.730]
related to el A to social studies,
[00:01:55.769]
current events, science, social
[00:01:57.900]
emotional learning. We've got great
[00:01:59.969]
financial literacy information.
[00:02:02.049]
The list goes on and on. You'll find all of that
[00:02:04.088]
right here in this resource. So it is really
[00:02:06.939]
kind of um
[00:02:08.127]
far reaching resource. And if
[00:02:10.139]
you're on the line as a librarian who's planning
[00:02:12.389]
on getting this information out to your teachers.
[00:02:14.588]
Just know that this resource is probably
[00:02:16.768]
going to cover the majority of your school.
[00:02:18.889]
So definitely I recommend getting this out to
[00:02:20.957]
everyone that you can because they'll find content
[00:02:23.479]
here in the resource.
[00:02:25.969]
And in addition to all that great coverage,
[00:02:28.038]
we have, we also have a lot of built in tools
[00:02:30.258]
here that are going to support your learners.
[00:02:32.409]
So things like highlights and notes, if
[00:02:34.429]
your users kind of want to talk to the text
[00:02:36.439]
as they're reading, we have translation
[00:02:38.618]
capabilities, both the documents themselves
[00:02:41.229]
in the platform. So all of the tools can
[00:02:43.399]
be translated. We have a read speaker,
[00:02:46.199]
text manipulation. It's going to allow your users
[00:02:48.270]
to change the font, the color, the size,
[00:02:50.710]
great citation tool. We're also integrated
[00:02:53.028]
with both Google and Microsoft drives
[00:02:55.169]
if they want to save content that way and
[00:02:57.419]
also with Google classroom. So if you are
[00:02:59.550]
using Google Classroom for your classes, you
[00:03:01.719]
can actually send information directly from
[00:03:03.778]
our resource to your Google classroom
[00:03:06.118]
platform, which is a really nice feature to have.
[00:03:10.689]
So let's talk a little bit about some of the key
[00:03:12.919]
content types that we're going to see as we click
[00:03:15.088]
through the resource today. So the first probably
[00:03:17.689]
the most expected is going to be our reference
[00:03:19.960]
articles. So that's giving us just the
[00:03:21.990]
fact about the facts about whatever we're
[00:03:24.110]
learning about. We have basic reference articles
[00:03:26.758]
that are going to provide the foundation
[00:03:29.409]
for further learning. And we also have
[00:03:31.558]
some more advanced reference articles that are really getting
[00:03:33.838]
into specifics about a topic and
[00:03:35.868]
really kind of specializing into one
[00:03:38.319]
hyper focused topic.
[00:03:41.118]
We also have a giant collection of news and
[00:03:43.149]
magazines and many of them are loaded daily,
[00:03:45.349]
of course, depending on how often they're published.
[00:03:48.520]
But again, these are cross curricular and
[00:03:50.750]
they're going to really link the real
[00:03:52.889]
world to what they're learning in the classroom.
[00:03:55.469]
So this is giving that current events
[00:03:57.649]
look, it's going to help your, you your students
[00:04:00.229]
or your library patrons coming in
[00:04:02.500]
kind of understand why they're learning
[00:04:04.538]
what they're learning.
[00:04:06.939]
We also have multimedia content from within
[00:04:09.149]
this resource. And of course, this is going to be really
[00:04:11.159]
handy for your users who may be struggling
[00:04:13.649]
readers or just for those who prefer
[00:04:16.048]
to watch their
[00:04:18.199]
information as opposed to reading it.
[00:04:20.259]
They'll find videos, they'll find great
[00:04:22.449]
images. We also have a huge collection
[00:04:24.509]
of audio files, specifically podcasts.
[00:04:26.838]
I like to point out because of course, podcasts are usually
[00:04:29.069]
fairly short
[00:04:30.670]
and a little bit easier to hold on to than,
[00:04:33.738]
you know, a longer news broadcast or something
[00:04:35.988]
like that. So we do have a lot of podcasts as
[00:04:38.088]
well. Again, cross curricular. So they'll find
[00:04:40.329]
information on quite a few different
[00:04:42.488]
topics and subjects. They'll find that
[00:04:44.579]
right here within the resource.
[00:04:47.928]
We also have a pretty large collection of
[00:04:49.939]
biographies. I say large for all of these collections
[00:04:52.389]
because we do, we have a, a
[00:04:54.259]
very, very huge collection
[00:04:56.399]
of materials. But our biographies are really great because
[00:04:58.600]
they include both historical figures
[00:05:00.730]
and contemporary figures. And I think that's
[00:05:02.829]
a really vital parts of
[00:05:05.100]
a research database of a learning resource.
[00:05:07.209]
Like this
[00:05:08.209]
is a lot of times your users want to see
[00:05:10.338]
themselves reflected in biographies
[00:05:12.399]
and they want to learn about the people who are big
[00:05:14.608]
deals right now. You know, they want to learn about the
[00:05:16.619]
musicians, they're listening to
[00:05:18.459]
you see, I pulled for lebron James,
[00:05:20.639]
you know, they want to learn about the athletes they're watching.
[00:05:23.480]
So they'll find all of that content here. Of
[00:05:25.500]
course, in addition to the historical figures that you
[00:05:27.540]
would expect to see within the resource,
[00:05:31.040]
we also have a collection of primary sources,
[00:05:33.170]
both for us history and world history.
[00:05:35.838]
So if you do need your users starting
[00:05:38.149]
to kind of get into that and understand the difference
[00:05:40.278]
between primary and secondary sources,
[00:05:42.519]
they'll find content for that. They'll see things
[00:05:44.838]
like political cartoons, speeches,
[00:05:47.548]
letters,
[00:05:48.750]
manuscripts, courts,
[00:05:51.309]
you know, summaries. So really
[00:05:53.410]
kind of a full
[00:05:55.449]
holistic big view of history in
[00:05:57.480]
our primary sources. And they are
[00:05:59.600]
labeled as primary sources in the resource,
[00:06:01.750]
which I think is really beneficial for
[00:06:04.059]
students who may struggle to understand
[00:06:06.790]
the difference between a primary and a secondary
[00:06:08.819]
source, we've labeled them as primary sources
[00:06:11.048]
so we can help guide them before they can kind of figure
[00:06:13.250]
it out on their own. We want to give them that little
[00:06:15.269]
leg up and label it for them.
[00:06:18.569]
And finally, this is unique to Gale In
[00:06:20.959]
Context: High School, as opposed to the other
[00:06:23.230]
In Context resources like Gale
[00:06:25.399]
in context middle school, we start to include
[00:06:27.778]
academic journals here. So again, your 12th
[00:06:30.119]
graders who are getting ready to you
[00:06:32.428]
know, jump into college, jump into university
[00:06:34.899]
and they're starting to look at that more
[00:06:37.199]
detailed more complex
[00:06:39.238]
information. They'll find that in this resource.
[00:06:42.588]
And what's great is all of our academic journals are
[00:06:44.629]
actually labeled as peer reviewed.
[00:06:46.910]
So if you want to make sure your users
[00:06:49.170]
are accessing peer-reviewed content
[00:06:51.220]
and they're not quite sure when they
[00:06:53.269]
click on something, it will let them know it'll get a little
[00:06:55.470]
checkmark saying it's peer reviewed. So they'll be
[00:06:57.500]
able to see that.
[00:06:59.428]
And another great feature of having these academic
[00:07:01.619]
journals right here on this platform is if
[00:07:03.720]
they decide to click into an academic journal
[00:07:05.809]
and they just, you know, get completely overwhelmed, his
[00:07:07.980]
information is too in depth, it's too advanced
[00:07:10.220]
for them. They can really simply just back
[00:07:12.338]
out of that article and find maybe a reference
[00:07:14.619]
article about the same topic, but
[00:07:16.689]
just at that lower level. So
[00:07:19.338]
they can like dip their toes into the academic field.
[00:07:21.699]
They don't have to go to a fully academic
[00:07:24.238]
support a fully
[00:07:27.100]
academic resource. Um They
[00:07:29.329]
can just kind of dig in here and they'll get both the academic
[00:07:31.649]
side of things and the lower level resource
[00:07:33.858]
reference content.
[00:07:38.350]
Now, I just want to spend the rest of our time looking
[00:07:40.488]
at the resource here. Are there any questions
[00:07:42.778]
quickly about the content types that
[00:07:44.949]
you are going to be available or
[00:07:47.509]
the tools that I briefly mentioned anything like that?
[00:07:53.019]
OK.
[00:07:54.459]
I don't see any. So let's go ahead and jump
[00:07:56.769]
here. It's almost timed out.
[00:07:58.869]
So let's go ahead and jump right to the home page
[00:08:00.920]
of Galen context High School. This is what your
[00:08:02.949]
users are going to see as soon as they sign
[00:08:05.059]
in. So just a little lay of the land
[00:08:07.309]
here, of course, you'll see our advanced search and
[00:08:09.428]
our basic search are going to be right at the top here
[00:08:11.678]
in our banner.
[00:08:13.988]
We have a lot of really great content.
[00:08:16.079]
If we scroll down, that's going to be beneficial for
[00:08:18.199]
users as well. First, we have some topics
[00:08:20.338]
of interest that we like to pull out and these usually
[00:08:22.449]
change monthly. Anyone watching
[00:08:24.639]
the recording this month, This is being recorded
[00:08:27.069]
in April. So you see, we've pulled forward Arab American
[00:08:29.730]
Heritage Month,
[00:08:31.199]
we can click through, we have environmentalism pulled
[00:08:33.340]
forward and track and field
[00:08:35.279]
this month. So they do change monthly
[00:08:37.340]
sometimes sooner if something you know, big
[00:08:39.359]
happens in the world and we want to highlight that for
[00:08:41.428]
students, for users. they may see that pulled
[00:08:43.649]
forward, but generally they change monthly
[00:08:45.989]
kind of depending on what's going on in the world.
[00:08:49.489]
And when we scroll down below that, we
[00:08:51.599]
have these different topics listed out here.
[00:08:53.729]
Again, as I mentioned, this is a cross curricular resource.
[00:08:56.529]
So you'll see we've got sections related to
[00:08:58.570]
literature social studies.
[00:09:00.940]
So little things like government business.
[00:09:03.239]
We have a science and health section here
[00:09:06.519]
and we do have all of our biographies pulled out
[00:09:08.658]
separately in their own section as well.
[00:09:11.298]
And all of these that are listed are actually going to
[00:09:13.349]
be topic pages.
[00:09:15.279]
So what we do is we curate
[00:09:17.288]
these pages for some of the top search and
[00:09:19.359]
tap used terms within the resource
[00:09:21.830]
and we really lay them out nice and organized
[00:09:23.908]
for users who will be able to see an overview
[00:09:26.158]
and then all of the different
[00:09:28.769]
all of the different results. So reference
[00:09:30.849]
articles, magazines, videos,
[00:09:32.879]
all the good stuff. They'll see that right on the topic
[00:09:35.139]
page.
[00:09:36.590]
And you'll see if I click into any of these.
[00:09:39.639]
Our topic page list is pretty extensive.
[00:09:42.229]
So this is just what's found under business and economics.
[00:09:45.500]
If I go here and hit view all,
[00:09:48.190]
you'll see. We've got a very large collection
[00:09:50.250]
of topic pages here
[00:09:51.769]
and these aren't the only topics in the resource.
[00:09:53.918]
Of course, if your user coming in with something that's
[00:09:55.928]
a little bit more specific, um, that's
[00:09:57.979]
may be studied in your state a
[00:10:00.000]
lot, but maybe not nationally, they may
[00:10:02.019]
not have a topic page created just yet because
[00:10:04.178]
it's not as broadly studied. if
[00:10:06.558]
that's the case, if they kind of browse through this
[00:10:08.759]
to see if there's a topic page and they don't see one,
[00:10:10.940]
of course, they'll just run their search and they'll pull content
[00:10:13.298]
that way.
[00:10:14.168]
But if they are studying something that is
[00:10:16.250]
frequently studied or, you know, in the news today
[00:10:18.450]
or something like that,
[00:10:19.710]
they'll probably find a topic page for that. And I definitely
[00:10:21.849]
recommend directing your students to try
[00:10:24.029]
to find topic pages for whatever they're learning
[00:10:26.219]
about. So
[00:10:28.450]
again, they can browse through
[00:10:30.229]
just by clicking into any of these sections
[00:10:32.570]
or if they decided to run a search,
[00:10:34.769]
instead I'm gonna search today for
[00:10:36.869]
Cryptocurrency because I feel like that's fairly,
[00:10:39.889]
popular.
[00:10:41.229]
So if they decided to run a search instead
[00:10:43.460]
of, um, kind of browsing through these topics
[00:10:45.700]
on this page, you'll see when they start to search
[00:10:47.859]
here. I have one option that's bolded
[00:10:50.109]
at the very top of my predictive text and
[00:10:52.340]
that's showing me that have a topic page.
[00:10:54.678]
So instead of running a search, like if I ran a search
[00:10:56.830]
for Crystal, um, and just getting
[00:10:58.840]
a search results page where all of the results
[00:11:00.940]
are listed, if I click into that bolded
[00:11:03.178]
one I'm taken to the topic page
[00:11:05.320]
and this is organized for me.
[00:11:07.070]
So this is especially helpful for
[00:11:09.298]
your users who are maybe not
[00:11:11.989]
super organized in their research just
[00:11:14.019]
yet. You know, maybe they're kind of beginner researchers
[00:11:17.129]
and it's hard for them to pull the content they
[00:11:19.139]
need or
[00:11:20.090]
maybe it's difficult for them to build their own search
[00:11:22.500]
terms. We're trying to alleviate that
[00:11:24.899]
that stress here and we've pulled forward
[00:11:27.080]
forward these topic pages.
[00:11:29.590]
These are also great. If you are an educator
[00:11:31.899]
on the line
[00:11:32.979]
and you're trying to find content for students, you can
[00:11:35.099]
actually pull a topic page,
[00:11:37.308]
use this little get link button up top here
[00:11:40.219]
and you can actually send this topic page over to
[00:11:42.259]
your students. So if you just want them
[00:11:44.418]
all on the Cryptocurrency topic page,
[00:11:46.460]
you're doing a lesson, you want them to be able to
[00:11:48.820]
explore the results without, without having
[00:11:51.058]
to kind of get them to run their own searches necessarily,
[00:11:54.298]
you use this get link and they have access
[00:11:56.519]
to this great topic page. So at the very
[00:11:58.710]
top of every topic page, there's going to be just
[00:12:00.979]
a nice brief overview and this is giving
[00:12:03.330]
the background about that topic. So it's really setting
[00:12:05.668]
the stage for that deeper learning. So we'll have
[00:12:07.759]
the overview of the top here and this is
[00:12:09.769]
always going to be um a reference document,
[00:12:12.330]
of course, unless it's about a person, then it'll be
[00:12:14.450]
a biography. But if it's about a topic, it's
[00:12:16.548]
going to be a reference article.
[00:12:19.149]
And if we scroll down here on this topic page,
[00:12:21.779]
you'll see it's showing us the different content
[00:12:24.009]
types that we've pulled results for so
[00:12:26.149]
specific to Cryptocurrency. You'll see. We've
[00:12:28.178]
got a few reference articles, a lot of audio.
[00:12:30.830]
Um, we do have one biography, not quite
[00:12:32.879]
sure what it's about, we can scroll down and find out a lot
[00:12:35.298]
of magazine and news results. Of course,
[00:12:37.658]
Cryptocurrency is frequently
[00:12:39.899]
making headlines. So we have a lot of news and
[00:12:41.960]
magazines. We've got some images and some
[00:12:44.080]
videos and we even have a couple academic journal
[00:12:46.440]
entries related to Cryptocurrency
[00:12:50.048]
scrolling down from there. I'm going to see these different
[00:12:52.269]
content buckets that, that are including
[00:12:54.558]
those different content types. So reference
[00:12:57.019]
contents, um oftentimes we'll
[00:12:59.070]
pull out some featured content, sometimes it's videos,
[00:13:01.678]
sometimes it's articles
[00:13:04.139]
changes from time to time scrolling
[00:13:06.219]
down beneath that here, you'll see our
[00:13:08.320]
video and our images are listed and then
[00:13:10.428]
at the very bottom of the page, I wanna scroll all the way
[00:13:12.570]
down here.
[00:13:13.690]
We have related topics. So
[00:13:16.038]
these are also topic pages that are going to
[00:13:18.090]
be related to Cryptocurrency. So this is
[00:13:20.099]
a really nice way for your users to keep
[00:13:22.109]
learning again without running a search. So they learned
[00:13:24.190]
about Cryptocurrency a bit.
[00:13:26.479]
Maybe now they're really interested just in like standard
[00:13:28.879]
money and banking, you know, they want to know just how regular
[00:13:31.469]
old, you know, archaic
[00:13:33.869]
banking works. If we're not talking about Cryptocurrency,
[00:13:36.979]
they can click into money and banking and get
[00:13:39.029]
to that topic page. So a really nice
[00:13:41.239]
way to point and click to find content again
[00:13:43.418]
without even having to run a search.
[00:13:46.989]
Now, I'm going to scroll back up here a bit and
[00:13:49.029]
I'm going to click into all of my reference articles
[00:13:51.239]
because maybe I just want to take a look at something
[00:13:53.369]
that's just giving me the facts of, of a topic.
[00:13:55.779]
So I'm gonna click into reference here
[00:13:59.158]
and when I click into that title, it's going
[00:14:01.168]
to pull forward all of my results. You see, we have 12
[00:14:03.399]
listed here
[00:14:06.759]
and now I have some different options for filtering
[00:14:08.928]
on this right hand side here. Luckily,
[00:14:10.950]
this topic page itself is pretty filtered already.
[00:14:13.450]
Of course, with 12 entries. Um,
[00:14:15.668]
other topic pages that are a little bit more broad,
[00:14:17.808]
they could get, you know, hundreds of reference articles,
[00:14:19.989]
maybe even thousands. If that's
[00:14:22.029]
the case, they
[00:14:23.293]
should consider using filters to kind of narrow down.
[00:14:25.565]
I oftentimes find these subjects filter
[00:14:27.884]
is helpful. So we're on Cryptocurrency.
[00:14:30.134]
But if specifically we want to know, you know how
[00:14:32.423]
artificial intelligence is related to Cryptocurrency,
[00:14:35.325]
we can click right here and we'll narrow it down just
[00:14:37.335]
to two articles instead of those 12.
[00:14:40.019]
So this is a great way to, for them to narrow down
[00:14:42.119]
and find content again since this
[00:14:44.239]
is a pretty um
[00:14:46.168]
already filter topic page and we are down
[00:14:48.219]
to the 12 reference articles. We may not need
[00:14:50.369]
to use as many filters. But
[00:14:52.489]
I do want to mention that they're here and ready to go
[00:14:54.519]
for your users.
[00:14:56.950]
I can also easily change between different
[00:14:59.219]
content types in this gray bar up top here.
[00:15:01.340]
So clicked into reference, but maybe I want
[00:15:03.399]
to see some of the featured stuff that we've pulled
[00:15:05.428]
forward. I can click right over here into
[00:15:07.450]
our featured content.
[00:15:08.908]
Usually it's around three
[00:15:10.918]
pieces of content. Sometimes it's a couple more,
[00:15:13.029]
but usually it's around three.
[00:15:15.139]
And I can scroll down and take a look and see
[00:15:17.250]
if there's anything interesting to me. And let's
[00:15:19.538]
say there is, let's say this first one, the mistakes
[00:15:21.658]
to avoid when buying Cryptocurrency,
[00:15:24.369]
pretty important to know I can click into this
[00:15:26.428]
here and I will be poor, pulled forward
[00:15:28.619]
to my article.
[00:15:30.649]
And once your users are on this article, there's
[00:15:32.840]
a lot they can do to make sure that this
[00:15:34.979]
is um you know, a successful learning
[00:15:37.139]
experience for them. There are a lot of different tools
[00:15:39.259]
that are going to help them out. The first is going
[00:15:41.369]
to be our citation option. So if this is
[00:15:43.399]
a student coming in learning about this,
[00:15:45.469]
maybe using those documents
[00:15:47.210]
in a paper they're writing or for a project,
[00:15:49.759]
we have a citation button right up top here
[00:15:51.808]
in our toolbar.
[00:15:53.879]
When they click into this, they'll have a premade
[00:15:56.080]
citation, either Mlaap, a Chicago
[00:15:58.479]
or Harvard versions and
[00:16:00.509]
they can copy and paste this into their reference
[00:16:03.109]
page. You'll see they can also export it over.
[00:16:05.259]
So if they're using you know, a Google
[00:16:07.469]
drive or a Onedrive or maybe noodle tools,
[00:16:09.558]
they can get the citation over that way to save
[00:16:11.788]
it to wherever they need it to go.
[00:16:15.340]
They can also save this full document.
[00:16:17.739]
So if this is something you want to take a look
[00:16:19.769]
at, but maybe they don't, don't have time right now. They're
[00:16:21.918]
just kind of
[00:16:23.279]
intelligence gathering and they'll take a deeper dive
[00:16:25.548]
later on. They're going to want to use
[00:16:27.609]
either the send to button here, this little
[00:16:29.840]
paper plane
[00:16:32.538]
that's going to let them send over to Google or Onedrive
[00:16:35.129]
or email to themselves
[00:16:38.119]
or they're going to want to hit this download
[00:16:40.178]
or this print option, the download, just download
[00:16:42.250]
downloads as a PDF onto their computer.
[00:16:44.940]
Of course, print as you would expect, prints
[00:16:47.000]
the article.
[00:16:48.029]
in addition to having those tools
[00:16:50.349]
up top here, they're also found down
[00:16:52.389]
below underneath the title of the article
[00:16:54.609]
as well. So these buttons, you'll see they're a little
[00:16:56.750]
bit more separate as opposed to being just under
[00:16:58.840]
the send to button. We've pulled out
[00:17:01.239]
Google drive onedrive
[00:17:03.250]
and email. So these do the same thing
[00:17:05.289]
we've just included them in two different spots just to
[00:17:07.368]
make sure your use, your users find them easily.
[00:17:11.160]
In addition to that, I already briefly
[00:17:13.400]
mentioned get link when I was on a topic page,
[00:17:15.858]
you can also use get link to get to a document.
[00:17:18.410]
So if you want to share this out with your class or
[00:17:20.630]
maybe you want to put it on your discussion board,
[00:17:22.880]
you can just copy this link, paste it to your
[00:17:24.910]
board in your syllabus in your
[00:17:27.509]
rubric. If you're having them complete
[00:17:29.549]
a project wherever you want to go, and when
[00:17:31.630]
they click into this link, they're going
[00:17:33.670]
to be pulled right to this article. Or if
[00:17:35.719]
you link to an image or
[00:17:37.818]
a video,
[00:17:38.709]
they actually won't need to worry about authentication.
[00:17:42.189]
Of course, if they decide to move forward and the resource,
[00:17:44.660]
maybe run some of their own research,
[00:17:46.828]
however, you authenticate, they'll be prompted
[00:17:48.880]
to do that at that point. So if you,
[00:17:51.059]
you know, need a password or if you are
[00:17:53.338]
authenticating with Google or with Microsoft,
[00:17:55.689]
they'll have to do it at that point. But with
[00:17:57.890]
this specific link, they'll be able to get
[00:17:59.900]
to this document without having to worry about remembering
[00:18:02.160]
a password.
[00:18:03.328]
So really nice for homework. You know, if you're
[00:18:05.338]
setting this home for students to read, I
[00:18:08.088]
there's nothing worse than telling them to click into this
[00:18:10.108]
and then all of them forgot their password and have no
[00:18:12.250]
way of getting in contact with you until the next
[00:18:14.400]
day when it's due.
[00:18:15.568]
we're, we're trying to alleviate that. So with
[00:18:17.729]
that get link, they'll automatically have access
[00:18:20.108]
to this article will be able to read through the full
[00:18:22.118]
thing. And then if they need
[00:18:24.160]
to later on,
[00:18:25.459]
um
[00:18:26.489]
they can sign in to move forward within
[00:18:28.650]
G and contacts high school.
[00:18:31.828]
So in addition to those kind of saving and
[00:18:33.930]
sharing tools,
[00:18:36.160]
we have some different tools that are going to make this text
[00:18:39.049]
a bit more accessible for a lot of your users.
[00:18:41.699]
So the first is going to be our translate button, which
[00:18:43.900]
you'll see is found right here under this black bar,
[00:18:47.469]
you'll see I can drop this down and I can translate into
[00:18:49.549]
quite a few different languages
[00:18:52.019]
here. And I can also
[00:18:54.318]
set my interface language which is going to
[00:18:56.358]
change all of the buttons and all of my
[00:18:58.449]
navigation into whatever language I choose.
[00:19:01.449]
So I'll be able to translate at any time.
[00:19:04.328]
I can also increase and decrease the font
[00:19:06.348]
size as needed
[00:19:08.809]
next to that under my little display options
[00:19:11.219]
button. I have quite a few different options
[00:19:13.299]
here. I can change the background color of the text
[00:19:15.640]
that I'm going to be reading.
[00:19:17.338]
I can change the font,
[00:19:20.318]
I can also change the line letter and word spacing.
[00:19:23.618]
So our goal with this is to make it really
[00:19:25.910]
simple for your users to get the exact
[00:19:27.989]
experience they need you know, for
[00:19:30.170]
me, this screen is very distracting. I don't think
[00:19:32.219]
I'd be able to read on the screen, but of course, for someone
[00:19:34.489]
else, it could be really helpful to kind
[00:19:36.539]
of narrow their focus a little bit.
[00:19:38.489]
So we're making it
[00:19:39.900]
really kind of
[00:19:41.259]
easy to find and easy to use to make sure
[00:19:43.299]
they get the, the view that they need.
[00:19:45.838]
And this does follow them along throughout the
[00:19:47.890]
session. So
[00:19:49.459]
if they changed it to this open dyslexic
[00:19:51.479]
font in this article, the next article,
[00:19:53.750]
they click, it'll be the same deal. It'll have that
[00:19:55.890]
font, they can go back to the default
[00:19:58.150]
settings at any time right here.
[00:20:01.219]
And now we're back to normal
[00:20:03.709]
right next to that display options. We also have
[00:20:05.910]
our listen tool and that's going to
[00:20:07.959]
just read through the full article for me. You see when
[00:20:09.979]
I hit that button, it's going to pull forward this
[00:20:12.118]
little, um this little
[00:20:14.199]
panel that's going to let me read it.
[00:20:16.358]
It also gives me the option to download this as an
[00:20:18.400]
MP3. If I want to take the
[00:20:20.479]
read speaker with me or later on,
[00:20:22.640]
I can do that.
[00:20:23.789]
And this does read in whatever language I translated
[00:20:26.338]
this article to. So if I translated
[00:20:28.578]
this to Spanish first and I wanted to have
[00:20:30.689]
it read to me after I translate when
[00:20:32.779]
I hit listen, it will just automatically
[00:20:34.799]
read to me in Spanish, I won't need to
[00:20:36.858]
worry about translating that in any way,
[00:20:39.618]
they are just kind of linked together.
[00:20:43.818]
Now, one last tool I want to mention when we're on
[00:20:45.989]
our document is our highlights and notes tool.
[00:20:48.410]
So if you prefer to have your students kind
[00:20:50.439]
of talk to the text, find key points
[00:20:52.739]
in their articles and highlight them to try to save
[00:20:55.049]
them. Remember them for later,
[00:20:57.039]
they can just click and drag over any piece
[00:20:59.338]
of text within the resource. We
[00:21:01.390]
get this little dialogue box pop up, we could
[00:21:03.400]
choose a color. I can add a note
[00:21:05.410]
if I want to
[00:21:10.420]
and I can save it and I can go through and highlight
[00:21:12.500]
as much as I want. I can add notes
[00:21:14.650]
or not. I can choose different colors
[00:21:17.140]
but I can go through and really just mark this text
[00:21:19.400]
up and this is session
[00:21:21.559]
based. I will warn you. So if your
[00:21:24.068]
users sign off because they're going to
[00:21:26.078]
do something else or if they, you know, leave
[00:21:28.189]
it open on their browser too long and they're signed
[00:21:30.289]
out due to inactivity, this content
[00:21:32.630]
is going to be gone.
[00:21:33.959]
So make sure if they're going to be leaving their computers,
[00:21:36.449]
but they want to save their highlights. They
[00:21:38.608]
need to get this document out of the resource
[00:21:41.029]
and they can do that in any of the ways that I mentioned
[00:21:43.529]
sending over to their drive, emailing
[00:21:45.848]
it, downloading or printing it,
[00:21:47.578]
any of those ways are going to retain those highlights
[00:21:50.239]
and any notes they took for your users.
[00:21:56.459]
Now we keep all of our highlights and notes in one
[00:21:58.519]
more section here. If you
[00:22:00.390]
take a look at this very top in this toolbar,
[00:22:02.400]
I have my highlights and notes button here.
[00:22:04.959]
When I click into this, you'll see, it's showing me what
[00:22:07.250]
I've highlighted on this article and the colors
[00:22:09.559]
I highlighted with.
[00:22:11.318]
But if I click this view all highlights,
[00:22:15.059]
this is actually going to show me everything I've highlighted
[00:22:17.469]
throughout the entire session. So if
[00:22:19.500]
I were to have highlighted through, you know, two or
[00:22:21.578]
three articles, I would have each of those articles
[00:22:23.689]
listed,
[00:22:25.219]
I would have a running bibliography. Of course,
[00:22:27.469]
right now, I just have this one article that I highlighted.
[00:22:30.160]
But if I highlighted more than one, I'd have that
[00:22:32.209]
running bibliography listed here,
[00:22:34.420]
you'll see I can add or edit my notes
[00:22:36.568]
if needed and I can actually send
[00:22:38.939]
download or print this specific page here.
[00:22:41.380]
So if I maybe don't want to save the full article,
[00:22:43.689]
I just wanna save those little clips that I
[00:22:46.009]
that I found that I really like, I can
[00:22:48.328]
go to the highlights and notes page and just hit
[00:22:50.358]
my send to my download or my print
[00:22:52.469]
and it will do that for me.
[00:22:56.739]
Now, I do have one more quick tool. I want to take
[00:22:58.880]
a look at our topic finder. But before
[00:23:01.019]
I do, does anyone have any questions about
[00:23:03.309]
navigating the platform about some of
[00:23:05.380]
the tools we went over about topic pages,
[00:23:08.289]
anything like that at all?
[00:23:13.469]
Ok. I don't see anything.
[00:23:15.539]
So let's go ahead and take a look. Then we've got a couple
[00:23:17.799]
of minutes. So I definitely want to show you this. Um,
[00:23:20.199]
our topic finder is going to appear. If
[00:23:22.618]
you run a basic search, it's going to appear near
[00:23:24.818]
your filters on the right hand side
[00:23:26.939]
or we can actually go to it directly through
[00:23:29.068]
our advanced search. And that's what I'm gonna do today.
[00:23:31.858]
So I'm going to click advanced search here.
[00:23:35.568]
Now, the top under my search options,
[00:23:37.719]
you'll see my option here for topic
[00:23:39.920]
finder.
[00:23:43.170]
And this is a nice interactive. It's going to be
[00:23:45.180]
helpful for any users who maybe
[00:23:47.739]
have trouble building their own search terms and are
[00:23:49.828]
searching for something really broad that's pulling,
[00:23:52.029]
you know, thousands and thousands of results.
[00:23:54.380]
Of course, that's really frustrating and can
[00:23:56.390]
sometimes turn users off of using these
[00:23:58.420]
resources. So this is a nice way
[00:24:00.578]
to kind of get around that. So if I run a search
[00:24:02.969]
I'll search today. Oh inflation,
[00:24:05.239]
I must have searched for inflation before.
[00:24:07.269]
let's run a search for inflation because of
[00:24:09.299]
course, that is seems to be everywhere
[00:24:11.309]
in the news. No matter where you are, you're gonna hear
[00:24:13.430]
the term inflation. So of course,
[00:24:15.660]
high school students are probably trying to figure
[00:24:17.729]
out exactly what inflation is and what that means
[00:24:19.818]
for them. So when I run my search
[00:24:22.009]
for inflation,
[00:24:23.068]
you'll see. I get some kind, some topics that are
[00:24:25.259]
related to inflation. So I'm going to
[00:24:27.299]
be able to start stepping down and
[00:24:29.719]
narrowing my results about inflation
[00:24:32.299]
to make sure I'm not pulling forward
[00:24:34.279]
thousands and thousands of articles that might not
[00:24:36.338]
be exactly what I need.
[00:24:38.759]
So I click into inflation. Maybe
[00:24:41.309]
I'm interested now in consumer prices. You
[00:24:43.400]
know, how exactly is inflation impacting
[00:24:45.868]
the price of goods? I can click
[00:24:47.930]
here and
[00:24:50.049]
now I'm pulled forward to another level here.
[00:24:52.160]
You'll see right now, I've got 67 results
[00:24:54.779]
related to inflation and
[00:24:56.818]
consumer prices if that's
[00:24:59.098]
still too many. And I just, I don't want to scroll down
[00:25:01.568]
through all of these 67 articles.
[00:25:03.858]
I can take a step lower here. Ok,
[00:25:05.890]
so maybe I'm interested. Um You
[00:25:07.930]
know, I heard
[00:25:09.400]
prices rose and I wanted to specifically
[00:25:12.029]
see what prices rose or why
[00:25:14.059]
or maybe I want to take a look at gasoline
[00:25:16.400]
inflation. I can click into any one
[00:25:18.500]
of those. If I click into gasoline, you'll see now
[00:25:20.969]
I'm at five results as opposed
[00:25:23.049]
to that 67. So
[00:25:25.150]
this is really stepping your users
[00:25:27.489]
right down to the content that they need.
[00:25:29.578]
It's a really nice alternative to kind
[00:25:31.588]
of trying to weed through a search results page
[00:25:35.949]
and right underneath this, I can hit my reset
[00:25:38.000]
button at any time
[00:25:40.400]
and start right back from the top here
[00:25:42.608]
and my search does stay at the top as well.
[00:25:44.650]
So if I want to search instead of
[00:25:46.670]
inflation for something else, I'll
[00:25:48.838]
be able to change it right here as well.
[00:25:56.059]
Now, we've got just a few minutes left and I do have some
[00:25:58.118]
wrap up information for you all. So while I switch
[00:26:00.410]
back over to my slides, um,
[00:26:03.098]
oops, give
[00:26:09.709]
me a second here.
[00:26:11.529]
There it goes.
[00:26:13.368]
Apparently I'm having trouble with my keyboard today.
[00:26:16.078]
Um If you have any questions, go
[00:26:18.088]
ahead and type them into the Q and A and I'll be
[00:26:20.160]
sure to take a look at those, but I do want
[00:26:22.239]
to give you some wrap up information. So if you have any
[00:26:24.390]

[00:26:26.479]

that they've used with other public
[00:26:57.449]

[00:26:59.568]
on where you're uh you're joining us. From,
[00:27:01.979]
they'll be able to help you with that and pull some great ideas

Hello, everyone and welcome to our Gale
[00:00:07.618]
101 session. Today we're talking about
[00:00:09.898]
Gale In Context: High School. My
[00:00:11.989]
name is Amber Winters and I am a senior training
[00:00:14.358]
consultant here with Gale
[00:00:16.539]
and I'm excited to be working with you all today.
[00:00:20.170]
So a quick agenda here. First, we're going to just
[00:00:22.208]
go over what the resource itself is,
[00:00:24.399]
what you can expect to find some
[00:00:26.589]
of the different features available. Then
[00:00:28.649]
we'll talk about some of the key content you're going
[00:00:30.760]
to see specifically the key content
[00:00:32.810]
types. So things like biographies.
[00:00:35.298]
we'll go over all of the good stuff you're going to find,
[00:00:37.959]
but we'll spend the majority of the time actually
[00:00:40.020]
walking through the resource so we can kind of get
[00:00:42.098]
a feel of what your users are going to
[00:00:44.118]
be experiencing. So some of the workflows
[00:00:46.179]
that might be beneficial for them. We'll take
[00:00:48.298]
a look at filtering, we'll take a look at topic pages.
[00:00:50.848]
We're going to try to hit everything we can in the resource
[00:00:53.179]
today with our 30 minutes
[00:00:55.020]
and then at the very end of the session, we should have
[00:00:57.130]
some time for any questions you have
[00:00:59.179]
that I wasn't able to hit as
[00:01:01.189]
we move along the session and I do have some contact
[00:01:03.478]
information for you as well.
[00:01:05.540]
But again, if you do have questions, don't feel like
[00:01:07.569]
you need to wait until the very end of the session, I
[00:01:09.698]
would love to answer them for you as they come up.
[00:01:11.808]
So feel free when you think of them to put
[00:01:13.918]
them into that Q and A and I'll be able to get those answered.
[00:01:18.558]
So, Galen context high school, now this
[00:01:20.599]
is an age appropriate resource that we've developed
[00:01:22.980]
specifically for high schoolers as you
[00:01:25.028]
would expect from the title.
[00:01:27.790]
Um And it is developed though from beginner
[00:01:30.019]
to advanced high school level students.
[00:01:32.588]
So those in ninth grade who are just starting
[00:01:34.879]
to kind of dig into that higher level content
[00:01:37.290]
all the way up to 12th graders who are actually
[00:01:39.379]
getting into academic works and kind of starting
[00:01:41.609]
to explore academic journals, every
[00:01:44.299]
level between that they're going to find
[00:01:46.418]
content here within this resource.
[00:01:49.109]
And this is a very broad resource. It is
[00:01:51.239]
cross curricular. So you'll find things
[00:01:53.730]
related to el A to social studies,
[00:01:55.769]
current events, science, social
[00:01:57.900]
emotional learning. We've got great
[00:01:59.969]
financial literacy information.
[00:02:02.049]
The list goes on and on. You'll find all of that
[00:02:04.088]
right here in this resource. So it is really
[00:02:06.939]
kind of um
[00:02:08.127]
far reaching resource. And if
[00:02:10.139]
you're on the line as a librarian who's planning
[00:02:12.389]
on getting this information out to your teachers.
[00:02:14.588]
Just know that this resource is probably
[00:02:16.768]
going to cover the majority of your school.
[00:02:18.889]
So definitely I recommend getting this out to
[00:02:20.957]
everyone that you can because they'll find content
[00:02:23.479]
here in the resource.
[00:02:25.969]
And in addition to all that great coverage,
[00:02:28.038]
we have, we also have a lot of built in tools
[00:02:30.258]
here that are going to support your learners.
[00:02:32.409]
So things like highlights and notes, if
[00:02:34.429]
your users kind of want to talk to the text
[00:02:36.439]
as they're reading, we have translation
[00:02:38.618]
capabilities, both the documents themselves
[00:02:41.229]
in the platform. So all of the tools can
[00:02:43.399]
be translated. We have a read speaker,
[00:02:46.199]
text manipulation. It's going to allow your users
[00:02:48.270]
to change the font, the color, the size,
[00:02:50.710]
great citation tool. We're also integrated
[00:02:53.028]
with both Google and Microsoft drives
[00:02:55.169]
if they want to save content that way and
[00:02:57.419]
also with Google classroom. So if you are
[00:02:59.550]
using Google Classroom for your classes, you
[00:03:01.719]
can actually send information directly from
[00:03:03.778]
our resource to your Google classroom
[00:03:06.118]
platform, which is a really nice feature to have.
[00:03:10.689]
So let's talk a little bit about some of the key
[00:03:12.919]
content types that we're going to see as we click
[00:03:15.088]
through the resource today. So the first probably
[00:03:17.689]
the most expected is going to be our reference
[00:03:19.960]
articles. So that's giving us just the
[00:03:21.990]
fact about the facts about whatever we're
[00:03:24.110]
learning about. We have basic reference articles
[00:03:26.758]
that are going to provide the foundation
[00:03:29.409]
for further learning. And we also have
[00:03:31.558]
some more advanced reference articles that are really getting
[00:03:33.838]
into specifics about a topic and
[00:03:35.868]
really kind of specializing into one
[00:03:38.319]
hyper focused topic.
[00:03:41.118]
We also have a giant collection of news and
[00:03:43.149]
magazines and many of them are loaded daily,
[00:03:45.349]
of course, depending on how often they're published.
[00:03:48.520]
But again, these are cross curricular and
[00:03:50.750]
they're going to really link the real
[00:03:52.889]
world to what they're learning in the classroom.
[00:03:55.469]
So this is giving that current events
[00:03:57.649]
look, it's going to help your, you your students
[00:04:00.229]
or your library patrons coming in
[00:04:02.500]
kind of understand why they're learning
[00:04:04.538]
what they're learning.
[00:04:06.939]
We also have multimedia content from within
[00:04:09.149]
this resource. And of course, this is going to be really
[00:04:11.159]
handy for your users who may be struggling
[00:04:13.649]
readers or just for those who prefer
[00:04:16.048]
to watch their
[00:04:18.199]
information as opposed to reading it.
[00:04:20.259]
They'll find videos, they'll find great
[00:04:22.449]
images. We also have a huge collection
[00:04:24.509]
of audio files, specifically podcasts.
[00:04:26.838]
I like to point out because of course, podcasts are usually
[00:04:29.069]
fairly short
[00:04:30.670]
and a little bit easier to hold on to than,
[00:04:33.738]
you know, a longer news broadcast or something
[00:04:35.988]
like that. So we do have a lot of podcasts as
[00:04:38.088]
well. Again, cross curricular. So they'll find
[00:04:40.329]
information on quite a few different
[00:04:42.488]
topics and subjects. They'll find that
[00:04:44.579]
right here within the resource.
[00:04:47.928]
We also have a pretty large collection of
[00:04:49.939]
biographies. I say large for all of these collections
[00:04:52.389]
because we do, we have a, a
[00:04:54.259]
very, very huge collection
[00:04:56.399]
of materials. But our biographies are really great because
[00:04:58.600]
they include both historical figures
[00:05:00.730]
and contemporary figures. And I think that's
[00:05:02.829]
a really vital parts of
[00:05:05.100]
a research database of a learning resource.
[00:05:07.209]
Like this
[00:05:08.209]
is a lot of times your users want to see
[00:05:10.338]
themselves reflected in biographies
[00:05:12.399]
and they want to learn about the people who are big
[00:05:14.608]
deals right now. You know, they want to learn about the
[00:05:16.619]
musicians, they're listening to
[00:05:18.459]
you see, I pulled for lebron James,
[00:05:20.639]
you know, they want to learn about the athletes they're watching.
[00:05:23.480]
So they'll find all of that content here. Of
[00:05:25.500]
course, in addition to the historical figures that you
[00:05:27.540]
would expect to see within the resource,
[00:05:31.040]
we also have a collection of primary sources,
[00:05:33.170]
both for us history and world history.
[00:05:35.838]
So if you do need your users starting
[00:05:38.149]
to kind of get into that and understand the difference
[00:05:40.278]
between primary and secondary sources,
[00:05:42.519]
they'll find content for that. They'll see things
[00:05:44.838]
like political cartoons, speeches,
[00:05:47.548]
letters,
[00:05:48.750]
manuscripts, courts,
[00:05:51.309]
you know, summaries. So really
[00:05:53.410]
kind of a full
[00:05:55.449]
holistic big view of history in
[00:05:57.480]
our primary sources. And they are
[00:05:59.600]
labeled as primary sources in the resource,
[00:06:01.750]
which I think is really beneficial for
[00:06:04.059]
students who may struggle to understand
[00:06:06.790]
the difference between a primary and a secondary
[00:06:08.819]
source, we've labeled them as primary sources
[00:06:11.048]
so we can help guide them before they can kind of figure
[00:06:13.250]
it out on their own. We want to give them that little
[00:06:15.269]
leg up and label it for them.
[00:06:18.569]
And finally, this is unique to Gale In
[00:06:20.959]
Context: High School, as opposed to the other
[00:06:23.230]
In Context resources like Gale
[00:06:25.399]
in context middle school, we start to include
[00:06:27.778]
academic journals here. So again, your 12th
[00:06:30.119]
graders who are getting ready to you
[00:06:32.428]
know, jump into college, jump into university
[00:06:34.899]
and they're starting to look at that more
[00:06:37.199]
detailed more complex
[00:06:39.238]
information. They'll find that in this resource.
[00:06:42.588]
And what's great is all of our academic journals are
[00:06:44.629]
actually labeled as peer reviewed.
[00:06:46.910]
So if you want to make sure your users
[00:06:49.170]
are accessing peer-reviewed content
[00:06:51.220]
and they're not quite sure when they
[00:06:53.269]
click on something, it will let them know it'll get a little
[00:06:55.470]
checkmark saying it's peer reviewed. So they'll be
[00:06:57.500]
able to see that.
[00:06:59.428]
And another great feature of having these academic
[00:07:01.619]
journals right here on this platform is if
[00:07:03.720]
they decide to click into an academic journal
[00:07:05.809]
and they just, you know, get completely overwhelmed, his
[00:07:07.980]
information is too in depth, it's too advanced
[00:07:10.220]
for them. They can really simply just back
[00:07:12.338]
out of that article and find maybe a reference
[00:07:14.619]
article about the same topic, but
[00:07:16.689]
just at that lower level. So
[00:07:19.338]
they can like dip their toes into the academic field.
[00:07:21.699]
They don't have to go to a fully academic
[00:07:24.238]
support a fully
[00:07:27.100]
academic resource. Um They
[00:07:29.329]
can just kind of dig in here and they'll get both the academic
[00:07:31.649]
side of things and the lower level resource
[00:07:33.858]
reference content.
[00:07:38.350]
Now, I just want to spend the rest of our time looking
[00:07:40.488]
at the resource here. Are there any questions
[00:07:42.778]
quickly about the content types that
[00:07:44.949]
you are going to be available or
[00:07:47.509]
the tools that I briefly mentioned anything like that?
[00:07:53.019]
OK.
[00:07:54.459]
I don't see any. So let's go ahead and jump
[00:07:56.769]
here. It's almost timed out.
[00:07:58.869]
So let's go ahead and jump right to the home page
[00:08:00.920]
of Galen context High School. This is what your
[00:08:02.949]
users are going to see as soon as they sign
[00:08:05.059]
in. So just a little lay of the land
[00:08:07.309]
here, of course, you'll see our advanced search and
[00:08:09.428]
our basic search are going to be right at the top here
[00:08:11.678]
in our banner.
[00:08:13.988]
We have a lot of really great content.
[00:08:16.079]
If we scroll down, that's going to be beneficial for
[00:08:18.199]
users as well. First, we have some topics
[00:08:20.338]
of interest that we like to pull out and these usually
[00:08:22.449]
change monthly. Anyone watching
[00:08:24.639]
the recording this month, This is being recorded
[00:08:27.069]
in April. So you see, we've pulled forward Arab American
[00:08:29.730]
Heritage Month,
[00:08:31.199]
we can click through, we have environmentalism pulled
[00:08:33.340]
forward and track and field
[00:08:35.279]
this month. So they do change monthly
[00:08:37.340]
sometimes sooner if something you know, big
[00:08:39.359]
happens in the world and we want to highlight that for
[00:08:41.428]
students, for users. they may see that pulled
[00:08:43.649]
forward, but generally they change monthly
[00:08:45.989]
kind of depending on what's going on in the world.
[00:08:49.489]
And when we scroll down below that, we
[00:08:51.599]
have these different topics listed out here.
[00:08:53.729]
Again, as I mentioned, this is a cross curricular resource.
[00:08:56.529]
So you'll see we've got sections related to
[00:08:58.570]
literature social studies.
[00:09:00.940]
So little things like government business.
[00:09:03.239]
We have a science and health section here
[00:09:06.519]
and we do have all of our biographies pulled out
[00:09:08.658]
separately in their own section as well.
[00:09:11.298]
And all of these that are listed are actually going to
[00:09:13.349]
be topic pages.
[00:09:15.279]
So what we do is we curate
[00:09:17.288]
these pages for some of the top search and
[00:09:19.359]
tap used terms within the resource
[00:09:21.830]
and we really lay them out nice and organized
[00:09:23.908]
for users who will be able to see an overview
[00:09:26.158]
and then all of the different
[00:09:28.769]
all of the different results. So reference
[00:09:30.849]
articles, magazines, videos,
[00:09:32.879]
all the good stuff. They'll see that right on the topic
[00:09:35.139]
page.
[00:09:36.590]
And you'll see if I click into any of these.
[00:09:39.639]
Our topic page list is pretty extensive.
[00:09:42.229]
So this is just what's found under business and economics.
[00:09:45.500]
If I go here and hit view all,
[00:09:48.190]
you'll see. We've got a very large collection
[00:09:50.250]
of topic pages here
[00:09:51.769]
and these aren't the only topics in the resource.
[00:09:53.918]
Of course, if your user coming in with something that's
[00:09:55.928]
a little bit more specific, um, that's
[00:09:57.979]
may be studied in your state a
[00:10:00.000]
lot, but maybe not nationally, they may
[00:10:02.019]
not have a topic page created just yet because
[00:10:04.178]
it's not as broadly studied. if
[00:10:06.558]
that's the case, if they kind of browse through this
[00:10:08.759]
to see if there's a topic page and they don't see one,
[00:10:10.940]
of course, they'll just run their search and they'll pull content
[00:10:13.298]
that way.
[00:10:14.168]
But if they are studying something that is
[00:10:16.250]
frequently studied or, you know, in the news today
[00:10:18.450]
or something like that,
[00:10:19.710]
they'll probably find a topic page for that. And I definitely
[00:10:21.849]
recommend directing your students to try
[00:10:24.029]
to find topic pages for whatever they're learning
[00:10:26.219]
about. So
[00:10:28.450]
again, they can browse through
[00:10:30.229]
just by clicking into any of these sections
[00:10:32.570]
or if they decided to run a search,
[00:10:34.769]
instead I'm gonna search today for
[00:10:36.869]
Cryptocurrency because I feel like that's fairly,
[00:10:39.889]
popular.
[00:10:41.229]
So if they decided to run a search instead
[00:10:43.460]
of, um, kind of browsing through these topics
[00:10:45.700]
on this page, you'll see when they start to search
[00:10:47.859]
here. I have one option that's bolded
[00:10:50.109]
at the very top of my predictive text and
[00:10:52.340]
that's showing me that have a topic page.
[00:10:54.678]
So instead of running a search, like if I ran a search
[00:10:56.830]
for Crystal, um, and just getting
[00:10:58.840]
a search results page where all of the results
[00:11:00.940]
are listed, if I click into that bolded
[00:11:03.178]
one I'm taken to the topic page
[00:11:05.320]
and this is organized for me.
[00:11:07.070]
So this is especially helpful for
[00:11:09.298]
your users who are maybe not
[00:11:11.989]
super organized in their research just
[00:11:14.019]
yet. You know, maybe they're kind of beginner researchers
[00:11:17.129]
and it's hard for them to pull the content they
[00:11:19.139]
need or
[00:11:20.090]
maybe it's difficult for them to build their own search
[00:11:22.500]
terms. We're trying to alleviate that
[00:11:24.899]
that stress here and we've pulled forward
[00:11:27.080]
forward these topic pages.
[00:11:29.590]
These are also great. If you are an educator
[00:11:31.899]
on the line
[00:11:32.979]
and you're trying to find content for students, you can
[00:11:35.099]
actually pull a topic page,
[00:11:37.308]
use this little get link button up top here
[00:11:40.219]
and you can actually send this topic page over to
[00:11:42.259]
your students. So if you just want them
[00:11:44.418]
all on the Cryptocurrency topic page,
[00:11:46.460]
you're doing a lesson, you want them to be able to
[00:11:48.820]
explore the results without, without having
[00:11:51.058]
to kind of get them to run their own searches necessarily,
[00:11:54.298]
you use this get link and they have access
[00:11:56.519]
to this great topic page. So at the very
[00:11:58.710]
top of every topic page, there's going to be just
[00:12:00.979]
a nice brief overview and this is giving
[00:12:03.330]
the background about that topic. So it's really setting
[00:12:05.668]
the stage for that deeper learning. So we'll have
[00:12:07.759]
the overview of the top here and this is
[00:12:09.769]
always going to be um a reference document,
[00:12:12.330]
of course, unless it's about a person, then it'll be
[00:12:14.450]
a biography. But if it's about a topic, it's
[00:12:16.548]
going to be a reference article.
[00:12:19.149]
And if we scroll down here on this topic page,
[00:12:21.779]
you'll see it's showing us the different content
[00:12:24.009]
types that we've pulled results for so
[00:12:26.149]
specific to Cryptocurrency. You'll see. We've
[00:12:28.178]
got a few reference articles, a lot of audio.
[00:12:30.830]
Um, we do have one biography, not quite
[00:12:32.879]
sure what it's about, we can scroll down and find out a lot
[00:12:35.298]
of magazine and news results. Of course,
[00:12:37.658]
Cryptocurrency is frequently
[00:12:39.899]
making headlines. So we have a lot of news and
[00:12:41.960]
magazines. We've got some images and some
[00:12:44.080]
videos and we even have a couple academic journal
[00:12:46.440]
entries related to Cryptocurrency
[00:12:50.048]
scrolling down from there. I'm going to see these different
[00:12:52.269]
content buckets that, that are including
[00:12:54.558]
those different content types. So reference
[00:12:57.019]
contents, um oftentimes we'll
[00:12:59.070]
pull out some featured content, sometimes it's videos,
[00:13:01.678]
sometimes it's articles
[00:13:04.139]
changes from time to time scrolling
[00:13:06.219]
down beneath that here, you'll see our
[00:13:08.320]
video and our images are listed and then
[00:13:10.428]
at the very bottom of the page, I wanna scroll all the way
[00:13:12.570]
down here.
[00:13:13.690]
We have related topics. So
[00:13:16.038]
these are also topic pages that are going to
[00:13:18.090]
be related to Cryptocurrency. So this is
[00:13:20.099]
a really nice way for your users to keep
[00:13:22.109]
learning again without running a search. So they learned
[00:13:24.190]
about Cryptocurrency a bit.
[00:13:26.479]
Maybe now they're really interested just in like standard
[00:13:28.879]
money and banking, you know, they want to know just how regular
[00:13:31.469]
old, you know, archaic
[00:13:33.869]
banking works. If we're not talking about Cryptocurrency,
[00:13:36.979]
they can click into money and banking and get
[00:13:39.029]
to that topic page. So a really nice
[00:13:41.239]
way to point and click to find content again
[00:13:43.418]
without even having to run a search.
[00:13:46.989]
Now, I'm going to scroll back up here a bit and
[00:13:49.029]
I'm going to click into all of my reference articles
[00:13:51.239]
because maybe I just want to take a look at something
[00:13:53.369]
that's just giving me the facts of, of a topic.
[00:13:55.779]
So I'm gonna click into reference here
[00:13:59.158]
and when I click into that title, it's going
[00:14:01.168]
to pull forward all of my results. You see, we have 12
[00:14:03.399]
listed here
[00:14:06.759]
and now I have some different options for filtering
[00:14:08.928]
on this right hand side here. Luckily,
[00:14:10.950]
this topic page itself is pretty filtered already.
[00:14:13.450]
Of course, with 12 entries. Um,
[00:14:15.668]
other topic pages that are a little bit more broad,
[00:14:17.808]
they could get, you know, hundreds of reference articles,
[00:14:19.989]
maybe even thousands. If that's
[00:14:22.029]
the case, they
[00:14:23.293]
should consider using filters to kind of narrow down.
[00:14:25.565]
I oftentimes find these subjects filter
[00:14:27.884]
is helpful. So we're on Cryptocurrency.
[00:14:30.134]
But if specifically we want to know, you know how
[00:14:32.423]
artificial intelligence is related to Cryptocurrency,
[00:14:35.325]
we can click right here and we'll narrow it down just
[00:14:37.335]
to two articles instead of those 12.
[00:14:40.019]
So this is a great way to, for them to narrow down
[00:14:42.119]
and find content again since this
[00:14:44.239]
is a pretty um
[00:14:46.168]
already filter topic page and we are down
[00:14:48.219]
to the 12 reference articles. We may not need
[00:14:50.369]
to use as many filters. But
[00:14:52.489]
I do want to mention that they're here and ready to go
[00:14:54.519]
for your users.
[00:14:56.950]
I can also easily change between different
[00:14:59.219]
content types in this gray bar up top here.
[00:15:01.340]
So clicked into reference, but maybe I want
[00:15:03.399]
to see some of the featured stuff that we've pulled
[00:15:05.428]
forward. I can click right over here into
[00:15:07.450]
our featured content.
[00:15:08.908]
Usually it's around three
[00:15:10.918]
pieces of content. Sometimes it's a couple more,
[00:15:13.029]
but usually it's around three.
[00:15:15.139]
And I can scroll down and take a look and see
[00:15:17.250]
if there's anything interesting to me. And let's
[00:15:19.538]
say there is, let's say this first one, the mistakes
[00:15:21.658]
to avoid when buying Cryptocurrency,
[00:15:24.369]
pretty important to know I can click into this
[00:15:26.428]
here and I will be poor, pulled forward
[00:15:28.619]
to my article.
[00:15:30.649]
And once your users are on this article, there's
[00:15:32.840]
a lot they can do to make sure that this
[00:15:34.979]
is um you know, a successful learning
[00:15:37.139]
experience for them. There are a lot of different tools
[00:15:39.259]
that are going to help them out. The first is going
[00:15:41.369]
to be our citation option. So if this is
[00:15:43.399]
a student coming in learning about this,
[00:15:45.469]
maybe using those documents
[00:15:47.210]
in a paper they're writing or for a project,
[00:15:49.759]
we have a citation button right up top here
[00:15:51.808]
in our toolbar.
[00:15:53.879]
When they click into this, they'll have a premade
[00:15:56.080]
citation, either Mlaap, a Chicago
[00:15:58.479]
or Harvard versions and
[00:16:00.509]
they can copy and paste this into their reference
[00:16:03.109]
page. You'll see they can also export it over.
[00:16:05.259]
So if they're using you know, a Google
[00:16:07.469]
drive or a Onedrive or maybe noodle tools,
[00:16:09.558]
they can get the citation over that way to save
[00:16:11.788]
it to wherever they need it to go.
[00:16:15.340]
They can also save this full document.
[00:16:17.739]
So if this is something you want to take a look
[00:16:19.769]
at, but maybe they don't, don't have time right now. They're
[00:16:21.918]
just kind of
[00:16:23.279]
intelligence gathering and they'll take a deeper dive
[00:16:25.548]
later on. They're going to want to use
[00:16:27.609]
either the send to button here, this little
[00:16:29.840]
paper plane
[00:16:32.538]
that's going to let them send over to Google or Onedrive
[00:16:35.129]
or email to themselves
[00:16:38.119]
or they're going to want to hit this download
[00:16:40.178]
or this print option, the download, just download
[00:16:42.250]
downloads as a PDF onto their computer.
[00:16:44.940]
Of course, print as you would expect, prints
[00:16:47.000]
the article.
[00:16:48.029]
in addition to having those tools
[00:16:50.349]
up top here, they're also found down
[00:16:52.389]
below underneath the title of the article
[00:16:54.609]
as well. So these buttons, you'll see they're a little
[00:16:56.750]
bit more separate as opposed to being just under
[00:16:58.840]
the send to button. We've pulled out
[00:17:01.239]
Google drive onedrive
[00:17:03.250]
and email. So these do the same thing
[00:17:05.289]
we've just included them in two different spots just to
[00:17:07.368]
make sure your use, your users find them easily.
[00:17:11.160]
In addition to that, I already briefly
[00:17:13.400]
mentioned get link when I was on a topic page,
[00:17:15.858]
you can also use get link to get to a document.
[00:17:18.410]
So if you want to share this out with your class or
[00:17:20.630]
maybe you want to put it on your discussion board,
[00:17:22.880]
you can just copy this link, paste it to your
[00:17:24.910]
board in your syllabus in your
[00:17:27.509]
rubric. If you're having them complete
[00:17:29.549]
a project wherever you want to go, and when
[00:17:31.630]
they click into this link, they're going
[00:17:33.670]
to be pulled right to this article. Or if
[00:17:35.719]
you link to an image or
[00:17:37.818]
a video,
[00:17:38.709]
they actually won't need to worry about authentication.
[00:17:42.189]
Of course, if they decide to move forward and the resource,
[00:17:44.660]
maybe run some of their own research,
[00:17:46.828]
however, you authenticate, they'll be prompted
[00:17:48.880]
to do that at that point. So if you,
[00:17:51.059]
you know, need a password or if you are
[00:17:53.338]
authenticating with Google or with Microsoft,
[00:17:55.689]
they'll have to do it at that point. But with
[00:17:57.890]
this specific link, they'll be able to get
[00:17:59.900]
to this document without having to worry about remembering
[00:18:02.160]
a password.
[00:18:03.328]
So really nice for homework. You know, if you're
[00:18:05.338]
setting this home for students to read, I
[00:18:08.088]
there's nothing worse than telling them to click into this
[00:18:10.108]
and then all of them forgot their password and have no
[00:18:12.250]
way of getting in contact with you until the next
[00:18:14.400]
day when it's due.
[00:18:15.568]
we're, we're trying to alleviate that. So with
[00:18:17.729]
that get link, they'll automatically have access
[00:18:20.108]
to this article will be able to read through the full
[00:18:22.118]
thing. And then if they need
[00:18:24.160]
to later on,
[00:18:25.459]
um
[00:18:26.489]
they can sign in to move forward within
[00:18:28.650]
G and contacts high school.
[00:18:31.828]
So in addition to those kind of saving and
[00:18:33.930]
sharing tools,
[00:18:36.160]
we have some different tools that are going to make this text
[00:18:39.049]
a bit more accessible for a lot of your users.
[00:18:41.699]
So the first is going to be our translate button, which
[00:18:43.900]
you'll see is found right here under this black bar,
[00:18:47.469]
you'll see I can drop this down and I can translate into
[00:18:49.549]
quite a few different languages
[00:18:52.019]
here. And I can also
[00:18:54.318]
set my interface language which is going to
[00:18:56.358]
change all of the buttons and all of my
[00:18:58.449]
navigation into whatever language I choose.
[00:19:01.449]
So I'll be able to translate at any time.
[00:19:04.328]
I can also increase and decrease the font
[00:19:06.348]
size as needed
[00:19:08.809]
next to that under my little display options
[00:19:11.219]
button. I have quite a few different options
[00:19:13.299]
here. I can change the background color of the text
[00:19:15.640]
that I'm going to be reading.
[00:19:17.338]
I can change the font,
[00:19:20.318]
I can also change the line letter and word spacing.
[00:19:23.618]
So our goal with this is to make it really
[00:19:25.910]
simple for your users to get the exact
[00:19:27.989]
experience they need you know, for
[00:19:30.170]
me, this screen is very distracting. I don't think
[00:19:32.219]
I'd be able to read on the screen, but of course, for someone
[00:19:34.489]
else, it could be really helpful to kind
[00:19:36.539]
of narrow their focus a little bit.
[00:19:38.489]
So we're making it
[00:19:39.900]
really kind of
[00:19:41.259]
easy to find and easy to use to make sure
[00:19:43.299]
they get the, the view that they need.
[00:19:45.838]
And this does follow them along throughout the
[00:19:47.890]
session. So
[00:19:49.459]
if they changed it to this open dyslexic
[00:19:51.479]
font in this article, the next article,
[00:19:53.750]
they click, it'll be the same deal. It'll have that
[00:19:55.890]
font, they can go back to the default
[00:19:58.150]
settings at any time right here.
[00:20:01.219]
And now we're back to normal
[00:20:03.709]
right next to that display options. We also have
[00:20:05.910]
our listen tool and that's going to
[00:20:07.959]
just read through the full article for me. You see when
[00:20:09.979]
I hit that button, it's going to pull forward this
[00:20:12.118]
little, um this little
[00:20:14.199]
panel that's going to let me read it.
[00:20:16.358]
It also gives me the option to download this as an
[00:20:18.400]
MP3. If I want to take the
[00:20:20.479]
read speaker with me or later on,
[00:20:22.640]
I can do that.
[00:20:23.789]
And this does read in whatever language I translated
[00:20:26.338]
this article to. So if I translated
[00:20:28.578]
this to Spanish first and I wanted to have
[00:20:30.689]
it read to me after I translate when
[00:20:32.779]
I hit listen, it will just automatically
[00:20:34.799]
read to me in Spanish, I won't need to
[00:20:36.858]
worry about translating that in any way,
[00:20:39.618]
they are just kind of linked together.
[00:20:43.818]
Now, one last tool I want to mention when we're on
[00:20:45.989]
our document is our highlights and notes tool.
[00:20:48.410]
So if you prefer to have your students kind
[00:20:50.439]
of talk to the text, find key points
[00:20:52.739]
in their articles and highlight them to try to save
[00:20:55.049]
them. Remember them for later,
[00:20:57.039]
they can just click and drag over any piece
[00:20:59.338]
of text within the resource. We
[00:21:01.390]
get this little dialogue box pop up, we could
[00:21:03.400]
choose a color. I can add a note
[00:21:05.410]
if I want to
[00:21:10.420]
and I can save it and I can go through and highlight
[00:21:12.500]
as much as I want. I can add notes
[00:21:14.650]
or not. I can choose different colors
[00:21:17.140]
but I can go through and really just mark this text
[00:21:19.400]
up and this is session
[00:21:21.559]
based. I will warn you. So if your
[00:21:24.068]
users sign off because they're going to
[00:21:26.078]
do something else or if they, you know, leave
[00:21:28.189]
it open on their browser too long and they're signed
[00:21:30.289]
out due to inactivity, this content
[00:21:32.630]
is going to be gone.
[00:21:33.959]
So make sure if they're going to be leaving their computers,
[00:21:36.449]
but they want to save their highlights. They
[00:21:38.608]
need to get this document out of the resource
[00:21:41.029]
and they can do that in any of the ways that I mentioned
[00:21:43.529]
sending over to their drive, emailing
[00:21:45.848]
it, downloading or printing it,
[00:21:47.578]
any of those ways are going to retain those highlights
[00:21:50.239]
and any notes they took for your users.
[00:21:56.459]
Now we keep all of our highlights and notes in one
[00:21:58.519]
more section here. If you
[00:22:00.390]
take a look at this very top in this toolbar,
[00:22:02.400]
I have my highlights and notes button here.
[00:22:04.959]
When I click into this, you'll see, it's showing me what
[00:22:07.250]
I've highlighted on this article and the colors
[00:22:09.559]
I highlighted with.
[00:22:11.318]
But if I click this view all highlights,
[00:22:15.059]
this is actually going to show me everything I've highlighted
[00:22:17.469]
throughout the entire session. So if
[00:22:19.500]
I were to have highlighted through, you know, two or
[00:22:21.578]
three articles, I would have each of those articles
[00:22:23.689]
listed,
[00:22:25.219]
I would have a running bibliography. Of course,
[00:22:27.469]
right now, I just have this one article that I highlighted.
[00:22:30.160]
But if I highlighted more than one, I'd have that
[00:22:32.209]
running bibliography listed here,
[00:22:34.420]
you'll see I can add or edit my notes
[00:22:36.568]
if needed and I can actually send
[00:22:38.939]
download or print this specific page here.
[00:22:41.380]
So if I maybe don't want to save the full article,
[00:22:43.689]
I just wanna save those little clips that I
[00:22:46.009]
that I found that I really like, I can
[00:22:48.328]
go to the highlights and notes page and just hit
[00:22:50.358]
my send to my download or my print
[00:22:52.469]
and it will do that for me.
[00:22:56.739]
Now, I do have one more quick tool. I want to take
[00:22:58.880]
a look at our topic finder. But before
[00:23:01.019]
I do, does anyone have any questions about
[00:23:03.309]
navigating the platform about some of
[00:23:05.380]
the tools we went over about topic pages,
[00:23:08.289]
anything like that at all?
[00:23:13.469]
Ok. I don't see anything.
[00:23:15.539]
So let's go ahead and take a look. Then we've got a couple
[00:23:17.799]
of minutes. So I definitely want to show you this. Um,
[00:23:20.199]
our topic finder is going to appear. If
[00:23:22.618]
you run a basic search, it's going to appear near
[00:23:24.818]
your filters on the right hand side
[00:23:26.939]
or we can actually go to it directly through
[00:23:29.068]
our advanced search. And that's what I'm gonna do today.
[00:23:31.858]
So I'm going to click advanced search here.
[00:23:35.568]
Now, the top under my search options,
[00:23:37.719]
you'll see my option here for topic
[00:23:39.920]
finder.
[00:23:43.170]
And this is a nice interactive. It's going to be
[00:23:45.180]
helpful for any users who maybe
[00:23:47.739]
have trouble building their own search terms and are
[00:23:49.828]
searching for something really broad that's pulling,
[00:23:52.029]
you know, thousands and thousands of results.
[00:23:54.380]
Of course, that's really frustrating and can
[00:23:56.390]
sometimes turn users off of using these
[00:23:58.420]
resources. So this is a nice way
[00:24:00.578]
to kind of get around that. So if I run a search
[00:24:02.969]
I'll search today. Oh inflation,
[00:24:05.239]
I must have searched for inflation before.
[00:24:07.269]
let's run a search for inflation because of
[00:24:09.299]
course, that is seems to be everywhere
[00:24:11.309]
in the news. No matter where you are, you're gonna hear
[00:24:13.430]
the term inflation. So of course,
[00:24:15.660]
high school students are probably trying to figure
[00:24:17.729]
out exactly what inflation is and what that means
[00:24:19.818]
for them. So when I run my search
[00:24:22.009]
for inflation,
[00:24:23.068]
you'll see. I get some kind, some topics that are
[00:24:25.259]
related to inflation. So I'm going to
[00:24:27.299]
be able to start stepping down and
[00:24:29.719]
narrowing my results about inflation
[00:24:32.299]
to make sure I'm not pulling forward
[00:24:34.279]
thousands and thousands of articles that might not
[00:24:36.338]
be exactly what I need.
[00:24:38.759]
So I click into inflation. Maybe
[00:24:41.309]
I'm interested now in consumer prices. You
[00:24:43.400]
know, how exactly is inflation impacting
[00:24:45.868]
the price of goods? I can click
[00:24:47.930]
here and
[00:24:50.049]
now I'm pulled forward to another level here.
[00:24:52.160]
You'll see right now, I've got 67 results
[00:24:54.779]
related to inflation and
[00:24:56.818]
consumer prices if that's
[00:24:59.098]
still too many. And I just, I don't want to scroll down
[00:25:01.568]
through all of these 67 articles.
[00:25:03.858]
I can take a step lower here. Ok,
[00:25:05.890]
so maybe I'm interested. Um You
[00:25:07.930]
know, I heard
[00:25:09.400]
prices rose and I wanted to specifically
[00:25:12.029]
see what prices rose or why
[00:25:14.059]
or maybe I want to take a look at gasoline
[00:25:16.400]
inflation. I can click into any one
[00:25:18.500]
of those. If I click into gasoline, you'll see now
[00:25:20.969]
I'm at five results as opposed
[00:25:23.049]
to that 67. So
[00:25:25.150]
this is really stepping your users
[00:25:27.489]
right down to the content that they need.
[00:25:29.578]
It's a really nice alternative to kind
[00:25:31.588]
of trying to weed through a search results page
[00:25:35.949]
and right underneath this, I can hit my reset
[00:25:38.000]
button at any time
[00:25:40.400]
and start right back from the top here
[00:25:42.608]
and my search does stay at the top as well.
[00:25:44.650]
So if I want to search instead of
[00:25:46.670]
inflation for something else, I'll
[00:25:48.838]
be able to change it right here as well.
[00:25:56.059]
Now, we've got just a few minutes left and I do have some
[00:25:58.118]
wrap up information for you all. So while I switch
[00:26:00.410]
back over to my slides, um,
[00:26:03.098]
oops, give
[00:26:09.709]
me a second here.
[00:26:11.529]
There it goes.
[00:26:13.368]
Apparently I'm having trouble with my keyboard today.
[00:26:16.078]
Um If you have any questions, go
[00:26:18.088]
ahead and type them into the Q and A and I'll be
[00:26:20.160]
sure to take a look at those, but I do want
[00:26:22.239]
to give you some wrap up information. So if you have any
[00:26:24.390]

[00:26:59.568]
on where you're uh you're joining us. From,
