Gale Training

[00:00:05.509]
Hello, everyone. Welcome in today.

[00:00:07.658]
We're talking about building better lessons and we're

[00:00:09.759]
going to go over some best practices for

[00:00:11.839]
getting your gale content into your classroom.

[00:00:14.528]
My name is Amber Winters and I am a senior training

[00:00:16.958]
consultant here with Gale.

[00:00:19.760]
I've got a brief agenda for us today. First

[00:00:21.789]
thing I wanna do is just show you some example, activities

[00:00:24.708]
that we've created here at Gale just to kind of

[00:00:26.719]
get your creative juices flowing a little bit.

[00:00:28.728]
So we all kind of understand what

[00:00:30.969]
sort of different activities we can actually make using

[00:00:33.090]
gale resources. After that,

[00:00:35.130]
we'll really start to dive into our best practices.

[00:00:37.598]
So we're going to go through

[00:00:39.048]
the process that us trainers use

[00:00:41.069]
as we're building activities and lesson plans

[00:00:43.348]
to share it with everyone. We're going to go through that process.

[00:00:46.139]
We'll jump into the resources a little bit

[00:00:48.200]
so you can take a look at some of the tools that I'm going

[00:00:50.298]
to be talking about.

[00:00:52.310]
After that, we'll go over briefly how you can find

[00:00:54.539]
our premade materials. So we've got a pretty

[00:00:57.118]
extensive collection of activities and lesson

[00:00:59.279]
plans already made for you. So I'll point those

[00:01:01.348]
out for you.

[00:01:02.490]
And then at the very end of the session, I've got

[00:01:04.579]
some contact information as well as some wrap

[00:01:06.629]
up. So if you need to speak further

[00:01:09.159]
with someone at Gale, you'll have that contact

[00:01:11.459]
information at the very end of the session.

[00:01:13.819]
And I want to remind everyone the Q

[00:01:15.849]
and A box is open for you. For any questions

[00:01:17.969]
you have, feel free to put them in there.

[00:01:20.129]
As we go through the session today, I'll try to

[00:01:22.189]
get them answered as I see them, if it gets

[00:01:24.308]
a little bit overwhelming, gets a little bit full, then

[00:01:26.388]
we will wait until the end of the session to answer questions,

[00:01:29.079]
but I should be able to answer them kind of as we move along

[00:01:31.359]
today. So

[00:01:34.028]
let's go ahead and get started here again. I wanna start

[00:01:36.278]
off with some samples. So as we're talking

[00:01:38.290]
today, instead of maybe thinking

[00:01:40.370]
about using Gale for, you know, reading

[00:01:42.638]
activities or strictly for research activities,

[00:01:45.400]
some of the other activities you can create with your gale.

[00:01:47.418]
Resources include things like scavenger hunts

[00:01:49.689]
where you're kind of guiding your

[00:01:51.709]
students through research a little bit. You know, you may direct

[00:01:53.948]
them to different parts of the resource

[00:01:57.189]
or you know, different pieces of content,

[00:01:59.230]
maybe an image or something like that.

[00:02:03.799]
You can also build things like escape

[00:02:05.808]
rooms. These are of course a little more labor

[00:02:08.038]
intensive, but our resources

[00:02:10.469]
especially Gale In Context, resources really

[00:02:12.528]
lend themselves to that kind of,

[00:02:14.649]
um, that kind of lesson

[00:02:16.909]
layout where students can actively

[00:02:19.110]
engage and they have to dig through the resource.

[00:02:21.189]
You know, they're not just clicking into an article and reading

[00:02:23.500]
it and answering questions, they're,

[00:02:25.360]
they're clicking in, they're looking at pictures, they're watching videos,

[00:02:27.969]
they're really getting

[00:02:29.490]
a lot of information in a really simple

[00:02:31.879]
way. In addition to that, it could be something

[00:02:34.360]
as easy as a graphic organizer. You know,

[00:02:36.399]
if you're, this one's about reading a banned book,

[00:02:38.550]
we built this for

[00:02:40.819]
when we're instructing banned books.

[00:02:43.308]
It could be something as simple as this going

[00:02:45.618]
into Gale In Context: Literature and they have this

[00:02:47.689]
great bit of information

[00:02:50.990]
and they'll be able to go through,

[00:02:52.639]
you can also build training cards. These are great

[00:02:54.819]
for both secondary level students

[00:02:56.899]
and elementary level students. So again,

[00:02:59.129]
this is more guided for your students. You're

[00:03:01.149]
telling them that they're going to need to kind of

[00:03:03.429]
research and look up different

[00:03:05.558]
topics. You see this one's about different types of energy.

[00:03:08.618]
and they'll fill out the back of these cards with,

[00:03:11.219]
you know, overviews of the topic

[00:03:13.580]
or if it's about an individual, it will be the biography

[00:03:15.899]
of that person

[00:03:17.050]
or they can again have very basic,

[00:03:19.580]
just like a graphic organizer, just basic

[00:03:22.000]
activities that's going to get them exploring.

[00:03:24.028]
This one here is for Gale In Context: Elementary.

[00:03:26.500]
So if I have any elementary folks on

[00:03:28.569]
the line, this is one of the passport

[00:03:30.808]
to the world activity.

[00:03:32.210]
All it is is they're going to choose one of the different

[00:03:34.500]
topics that we've already curated within

[00:03:36.610]
Gale In Context: Elementary for them.

[00:03:38.569]
And then they just summarize it.

[00:03:40.699]
So you can make activities short

[00:03:42.969]
and sweet. Maybe something like a bell ringer

[00:03:45.330]
or maybe if you want to put something

[00:03:47.219]
in your discussion board, if you're using

[00:03:49.240]
maybe schoology or canvas, you can integrate

[00:03:51.449]
with that and pull in content that way.

[00:03:53.669]
The choices are kind of unlimited.

[00:03:55.960]
So I just wanted to bring that to your attention before

[00:03:58.139]
we really dive in that. While we're talking about

[00:04:00.338]
our process here. Our process is used

[00:04:02.500]
for more than just your standard research

[00:04:05.300]
papers. This is going to be for any type of activity

[00:04:07.808]
that you want to include in your, your lesson

[00:04:10.099]
into your classroom.

[00:04:13.538]
So this is a quick overview of what

[00:04:15.750]
our development process is here at Gale. So the first

[00:04:17.988]
one seems obvious, but

[00:04:20.009]
it's an important one to highlight you want to make sure you

[00:04:22.019]
identify your best fit resource. Chances

[00:04:24.278]
are a lot of you probably have more than one gale

[00:04:26.369]
resource. And you want to make

[00:04:28.488]
sure that you're using the correct one for you and for your students

[00:04:30.903]
because if you're maybe in one that doesn't exactly

[00:04:33.244]
fit your needs, it's going to make your

[00:04:35.285]
time and your students time a lot harder

[00:04:37.423]
and it's going to take longer and it may not be as effective.

[00:04:39.884]
So, that's always our first objective

[00:04:42.553]
is to identify the best resource for

[00:04:44.613]
you. Once you do identify your resource,

[00:04:46.963]
we suggest checking for topic pages, we'll take

[00:04:49.095]
a look at those in a bit,

[00:04:50.754]
but those are really going to help you organize

[00:04:53.569]
your content and find it really easily. It's a nice

[00:04:55.778]
place to send your students as well. After

[00:04:57.850]
that, you're going to find the content, you're

[00:04:59.959]
going to collect support materials that are going to

[00:05:01.988]
help your students better understand how to use the

[00:05:04.028]
gale resources,

[00:05:05.569]
then you'll create your activity once all of that

[00:05:07.608]
is kind of situated. And then of course,

[00:05:09.790]
at the very end of this process, you're going to engage

[00:05:11.838]
your students with your fully

[00:05:13.899]
developed activities. So again, these are the steps

[00:05:16.199]
that we as trainers here at Gale

[00:05:18.238]
like to follow to make sure we're finding the

[00:05:20.319]
best content in the most effective

[00:05:22.928]
and efficient way.

[00:05:25.129]
So let's just walk through each of these. So again,

[00:05:27.579]
our first step is going to be identifying our resources

[00:05:30.528]
and each of our resources. You'll see. I've pulled forward

[00:05:32.778]
here, just a screenshot of some

[00:05:35.338]
Gale In Context resources, but each of

[00:05:37.369]
our resources bring a unique collection of materials.

[00:05:40.230]
Some of them, of course are similar. I'm

[00:05:42.319]
sure a lot of you have the core and context resources,

[00:05:44.829]
which is Gale In Context: elementary

[00:05:46.858]
middle school and high school

[00:05:48.459]
and they are cross curricular. So you're going to find

[00:05:50.569]
science and social studies content.

[00:05:52.730]
but you may also have say

[00:05:54.910]
Gale In Context history, which is going

[00:05:56.949]
to give a more in depth

[00:05:59.209]
look at social studies. So just

[00:06:01.629]
consider where you need to be in

[00:06:03.689]
your resources, how in depth you

[00:06:05.730]
need to go.

[00:06:07.649]
And again, this is a great way to save you time.

[00:06:09.759]
So before you start building your lessons

[00:06:12.329]
and realize that maybe you're not in the correct place,

[00:06:15.149]
check first, make sure you have the content

[00:06:17.459]
you need and then start building your lessons. So

[00:06:19.500]
you don't need to kind of start over and

[00:06:21.639]
backtrack.

[00:06:23.639]
And when you do start considering your resources, consider

[00:06:26.149]
the age groups. So of course

[00:06:28.250]
Gale In Context: Elementary and Middle School are going

[00:06:30.369]
to be efficient for those students.

[00:06:33.019]
But you also want to think about maybe

[00:06:35.278]
Gael Literature Resource Center or

[00:06:37.579]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, which might be at

[00:06:39.660]
an even higher level than some of the

[00:06:41.889]
other high school aged resources.

[00:06:43.949]
So you want to consider that as well, not only the

[00:06:46.069]
age but

[00:06:46.949]
where are they in their learning

[00:06:49.000]
development? Are they ready to jump into

[00:06:51.178]
Gale In Context: High School as ninth graders or maybe

[00:06:53.309]
should you pull back and have your ninth graders

[00:06:55.528]
research through Gale In Context: Middle School

[00:06:57.759]
for a bit until they're ready to jump into higher level content.

[00:07:00.619]
So don't just think about the age,

[00:07:02.730]
also think about just the developmental

[00:07:05.338]
level that your students are at.

[00:07:07.619]
Also consider the type of content you need.

[00:07:10.428]
If you're kind of really focused on pulling

[00:07:12.769]
statistics or maybe you're working on debates,

[00:07:15.619]
you may want to use Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:07:17.838]
which is pro con arguments and that sort

[00:07:19.949]
of materials. If you're really

[00:07:22.088]
looking for primary sources, we have

[00:07:24.199]
a great primary source collection within

[00:07:26.730]
our core in context resources, but also

[00:07:28.850]
within Gale In Context: U.S. History

[00:07:30.959]
or Gale In Context: World History.

[00:07:33.079]
So don't just think about the content levels,

[00:07:35.269]
also think about the type of content that you're

[00:07:37.319]
going to need to pull.

[00:07:40.069]
And of course, I can go through all of the gale resource

[00:07:42.170]
content today. I wish I could. But

[00:07:44.569]
if you're not super familiar with

[00:07:46.720]
your collection, you know, if I have some teachers on the line

[00:07:48.738]
who are just starting to kind of dig in or if

[00:07:50.778]
I, you know, have some media specialist who has been a while

[00:07:52.970]
and you're not quite sure

[00:07:54.509]
either go within

[00:07:56.689]
the resources themselves and look at some of the

[00:07:58.889]
topic pages that are listed or

[00:08:01.209]
you can go to our support site, which is support.gale.com

[00:08:04.290]
and we have resource guide and tip sheets

[00:08:06.579]
and training slide decks that can help you out.

[00:08:08.649]
So first step,

[00:08:10.869]
identify which resource you want to use,

[00:08:12.928]
make sure you know the content that's included.

[00:08:17.689]
Our second step here is going to be to check

[00:08:20.019]
for topic pages within the resources.

[00:08:22.028]
So we have topic pages built into

[00:08:24.250]
all of the Gale In Context resources.

[00:08:26.309]
So the core in context as well

[00:08:28.329]
as those subject specific ones like

[00:08:30.358]
science, global issues, literature.

[00:08:33.399]
And we also have topic pages found within

[00:08:35.580]
Gale Literature Resource Center.

[00:08:38.580]
And our topic pages are really like a nice

[00:08:40.710]
kind of a landing portal page

[00:08:43.178]
that are really organized and they're great

[00:08:45.450]
for you. If you're trying to pull your own content

[00:08:47.599]
that you're going to be sharing with students,

[00:08:49.639]
but they are also a great place to start

[00:08:51.649]
students off as well. So if your students are going to be

[00:08:53.719]
working out on activity, if you can

[00:08:55.769]
find a topic page, like I've got one pulled

[00:08:57.798]
up here consumer spending and you have

[00:08:59.960]
your students start here instead of searching.

[00:09:02.940]
It may be a little bit easier for them to find content

[00:09:05.298]
because this is, this is nice and curated

[00:09:07.330]
for them.

[00:09:08.710]
So let's actually dive into a resource.

[00:09:11.038]
So you can see how we can find topic

[00:09:13.058]
pages and how we can utilize them and how it makes

[00:09:15.298]
it a little bit easier to pull content for lessons.

[00:09:18.129]
I'm just going to dive in here.

[00:09:21.298]
There we go

[00:09:22.298]
to Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints just

[00:09:24.469]
because I'm a fan of this resource. this

[00:09:26.940]
process I'm going to go through works for your other

[00:09:29.259]
in context resources as well.

[00:09:32.000]
Gale In Context: Elementary looks just a little bit

[00:09:34.070]
different because it's, you know,

[00:09:36.090]
leveled down for elementary kids, but they

[00:09:38.168]
have topic pages as well.

[00:09:40.109]
so on the home page here we have all

[00:09:42.288]
of our topic pages listed. You'll see, we pull forward

[00:09:44.849]
issues of interest kind of towards

[00:09:47.129]
the middle of the page.

[00:09:48.719]
And then underneath we have our topic pages

[00:09:50.908]
listed down here broken into different categories

[00:09:54.469]
And I'm not going to go through all the way

[00:09:56.519]
today to show you how to kind of narrow down.

[00:09:58.678]
But you could click and browse in any of these.

[00:10:01.899]
And you can also run a search

[00:10:05.538]
at the top here. If I start

[00:10:08.668]
running a search here, you'll see. I've got some bolded

[00:10:11.219]
search terms listed right here and

[00:10:13.359]
these are terms that have topic pages.

[00:10:15.710]
Ok. So if I run a search for one of these,

[00:10:17.899]
it's going to pull me forward into that curated page

[00:10:20.298]
instead of a search results page.

[00:10:23.070]
But today I'm actually going to click into

[00:10:25.678]
the national debate topic, topic

[00:10:27.788]
page. I'm just gonna explore

[00:10:29.879]
this topic.

[00:10:31.950]
Now again, I love using this as a landing

[00:10:34.139]
point either for

[00:10:36.239]
myself, if I'm pulling, you know, links

[00:10:38.440]
to videos to images to podcasts,

[00:10:41.009]
or if I know I'm going to have students

[00:10:43.219]
learning about the debate topic and I want

[00:10:45.279]
them to dive in,

[00:10:46.989]
I can share this with them that way, one

[00:10:49.090]
quick way to share a topic page. If you're not pulling

[00:10:51.320]
your own content, if you're having your students look for

[00:10:53.500]
it is to use get link right here.

[00:10:55.788]
So if you want them on this topic page directly,

[00:10:57.979]
maybe you don't even want them on the home page. You just

[00:11:00.239]
want them landing here,

[00:11:02.139]
use Get Link. This gives you a persistent

[00:11:04.558]
URL. So it's not gonna break, you can pop

[00:11:06.619]
it into your discussion board, you can share

[00:11:08.678]
it on a syllabus,

[00:11:10.690]
really, wherever you want it to go, they'll be able

[00:11:12.840]
to click into this and they'll land right here on this

[00:11:14.879]
topic page and then they can begin their learning

[00:11:17.200]
a little side note here.

[00:11:19.239]
A lot of times when we build our scavenger hunts,

[00:11:21.639]
we actually based the entire scavenger

[00:11:23.798]
hunt on a topic page. So we land

[00:11:26.000]
students on this page and then we

[00:11:28.029]
walk them through the different content types.

[00:11:30.200]
You'll see as I scroll down here,

[00:11:32.048]
it shows me all of the different content types

[00:11:34.099]
in this little gray bar and it's got them organized.

[00:11:36.450]
So if I'm looking for maybe a statistic,

[00:11:39.190]
I can click directly into my infographics.

[00:11:41.239]
Same if I'm looking for maybe a news

[00:11:43.450]
report or I want to take a look at

[00:11:45.460]
a video

[00:11:46.619]
academic journals is here as well.

[00:11:48.710]
And this is going to change based on whatever

[00:11:50.849]
resource you're looking at based on your topic. If

[00:11:52.960]
we had primary sources related

[00:11:54.969]
to this topic, you'd have a primary source section

[00:11:57.428]
here.

[00:11:58.269]
Um, if maybe we didn't have any videos

[00:12:00.408]
related to this topic, this videos,

[00:12:02.840]
entry here would disappear.

[00:12:05.820]
So it's really dynamic for your

[00:12:07.849]
students. And again, if they're running through

[00:12:09.918]
a scavenger hunt or another activity

[00:12:11.950]
like that, about one topic,

[00:12:14.129]
having them land here and just clicking

[00:12:16.279]
through the different content types is

[00:12:18.590]
a really beneficial way to have your students

[00:12:20.808]
find information they need. You see, they can

[00:12:22.960]
scroll down,

[00:12:24.158]
they can click into any of these,

[00:12:26.158]
let's say news reports here

[00:12:29.080]
and you'll see all of the related news

[00:12:31.178]
at this point here.

[00:12:33.759]
So again, if you yourself

[00:12:35.808]
are just directing students to content, you're

[00:12:37.820]
not pulling specific entries,

[00:12:40.149]
use get link, go ahead and give it to

[00:12:42.178]
students. If you're planning on pulling

[00:12:44.219]
content

[00:12:45.109]
again, start on your topic page and

[00:12:47.139]
then you can go through and just click whatever articles you think

[00:12:49.288]
are important, you can get a link to those articles,

[00:12:51.974]
you can send them over to your drives.

[00:12:54.144]
If you're integrated into yout

[00:12:56.335]
LMS, so like schoology or canvas,

[00:12:58.575]
you can get them out that way. We won't go fully

[00:13:00.783]
into that today, but we do have some support materials

[00:13:03.125]
if you're interested in that. That'll give

[00:13:05.173]
you the end of the session

[00:13:08.149]
either way if you're pulling content or you're having

[00:13:10.389]
students pull content, try to find

[00:13:12.460]
a topic page before you run the rest of your,

[00:13:15.090]
your searching and the rest of your content pulling.

[00:13:17.190]
It's a great way to, to get yourself started.

[00:13:22.989]
Now, moving on from checking for topic pages,

[00:13:26.379]
we're actually going to now find the content.

[00:13:28.489]
So, of course, if you're on a topic page, you're going to do

[00:13:30.619]
that just by clicking through and finding what you're looking for.

[00:13:33.250]
If your topic is maybe a little more precise

[00:13:36.090]
and it isn't the most studied, most used

[00:13:38.158]
term,

[00:13:39.058]
then you might not find a topic page in the

[00:13:41.109]
resource. It doesn't mean we don't have content for

[00:13:43.298]
it. It just means that we haven't

[00:13:45.399]
curated it yet just because it's not as

[00:13:47.690]
broadly used in the resource. Of

[00:13:49.700]
course, we would love to make topic pages for every

[00:13:51.849]
topic we can think of, but

[00:13:53.960]
not feasible always. So

[00:13:56.908]
when you're, you're pulling content, I

[00:13:59.038]
recommend if you're planning on

[00:14:01.058]
using a basic search, you want to use the filters

[00:14:03.379]
we have available on our search results page,

[00:14:05.658]
you're going to most likely find a lot of content

[00:14:07.989]
for whatever topics you're looking for.

[00:14:10.489]
So using the filters is really going to let

[00:14:12.649]
you narrow down to find the exact information

[00:14:15.158]
that you need.

[00:14:16.609]
If you can, I suggest

[00:14:18.750]
using an advanced search that's going

[00:14:20.859]
to help you narrow down before you even run your search.

[00:14:22.918]
So if you're looking for maybe just primary

[00:14:25.469]
sources or just images, you can narrow down to that,

[00:14:27.619]
you could even narrow down to,

[00:14:30.009]
you know, you're trying to find the letters written

[00:14:32.950]
during the civil War, you can even use

[00:14:35.359]
an advanced search to filter down all

[00:14:37.399]
that way to find content.

[00:14:40.580]
If you are planning on using filters,

[00:14:42.908]
if you want your students using filters,

[00:14:45.009]
we recommend you tell them how to do that before.

[00:14:48.129]
But they are really simple to find.

[00:14:50.408]
So let's click in and see how we can use. I'm

[00:14:52.489]
actually going to use an advanced

[00:14:54.700]
search here. We'll click into a different

[00:14:56.769]
resource. Click into

[00:14:58.808]
Gale In Context: Middle School

[00:15:00.129]
So if you clicked in the

[00:15:02.359]
Gale In Context: Middle School, you took a look, you couldn't find a topic

[00:15:04.509]
page you were looking for, but you still want to pull content

[00:15:06.658]
for students. Again, we have basic

[00:15:08.779]
search, but you can click into our advanced search here

[00:15:12.928]
and really get precise with what you're looking

[00:15:15.080]
for. You can choose how you want to search

[00:15:17.109]
it defaults to searching by keyword. But

[00:15:19.379]
if you want to search by

[00:15:22.928]
you know the author name or the publication

[00:15:25.279]
name, if you have that, you can search by that

[00:15:28.109]
scrolling down here, you can also choose

[00:15:30.129]
the different content types. So again, if you're

[00:15:32.168]
just looking for primary sources, I

[00:15:34.320]
can check primary sources and just pull

[00:15:36.570]
those.

[00:15:37.840]
If I wanted to know I can run a search, this is

[00:15:39.869]
actually a blank search since I don't have

[00:15:41.899]
a search term. So it's just going to pull forward

[00:15:44.029]
all of my primary sources. That's a nice

[00:15:46.080]
way to do that. If you just wanna see everything available

[00:15:50.190]
or let's go ahead and type in a term. Let's type economics.

[00:15:55.889]
So I'm gonna run a keyword search. I'm not going to narrow

[00:15:58.029]
down my content here because I just wanna see everything.

[00:16:00.158]
So I'll run my search

[00:16:02.889]
now. Scrolling down here. You'll see. I have another

[00:16:05.359]
showing results bar

[00:16:07.619]
here that looks similar to your topic pages.

[00:16:10.359]
It's going to show me all of the different result

[00:16:12.469]
types. It pulls forward. So we've

[00:16:14.529]
got 21 primary sources here and lots of

[00:16:16.580]
magazines, lots of audio files.

[00:16:18.940]
Then as I scroll down, you'll see, we actually

[00:16:21.200]
have some suggested topics. So economics

[00:16:23.779]
is actually a topic page that we have.

[00:16:26.070]
So from here, I can click into those if I wanted

[00:16:28.239]
to, but let's

[00:16:30.428]
just stick here.

[00:16:31.629]
We'll click into reference. So I've got

[00:16:33.639]
588 reference works related

[00:16:36.139]
to economics, which of course your students

[00:16:38.418]
will not click all the way through and you shouldn't

[00:16:40.619]
have to either.

[00:16:41.879]
So to narrow it down, our filters are

[00:16:43.940]
listed here on this right hand side.

[00:16:46.058]
You'll see I can click and kind of expand

[00:16:48.330]
any of these. So if I want to narrow

[00:16:50.379]
it down even further, maybe to capitalism

[00:16:52.979]
monopolies, I can do that.

[00:16:55.259]
I can also narrow down to document type.

[00:16:57.619]
So that's getting a little bit more precise

[00:17:00.000]
than content types. You'll see if I want a brief

[00:17:02.330]
article, I have that.

[00:17:04.059]
If I want a book review, a biography,

[00:17:06.809]
I could narrow down here,

[00:17:09.299]
you'll see, I also have the option for publication

[00:17:11.699]
title. So if you are looking for a specific

[00:17:13.939]
publication, you can do that here

[00:17:16.420]
and you can also click back under advanced

[00:17:18.670]
search and go through our publication search.

[00:17:21.108]
So if you're kind of coming in from that angle,

[00:17:23.509]
you know we have a publication you're interested

[00:17:25.789]
in, you can go right in through the publication search

[00:17:28.259]
and pull all of the content we have

[00:17:30.459]
within that publication.

[00:17:32.380]
So a few different ways for you to do that

[00:17:34.959]
and as you collect your content. So let's say

[00:17:37.150]
this is exactly what you want. This first

[00:17:39.430]
article that's about economics. It's a nice

[00:17:41.769]
kind of topic overview. You're digging

[00:17:44.098]
it, you wanna share it out with your students.

[00:17:46.400]
You can do that a few different ways. You

[00:17:48.469]
can send this over to your drive your

[00:17:50.868]
Google Drive Onedrive or you can email

[00:17:53.000]
it to yourself or to others.

[00:17:54.939]
You can download it, you'll see it, downloads

[00:17:56.959]
as a PDF here, you can print it

[00:17:59.000]
out or just like with topic pages where

[00:18:01.039]
we had that get link available. You'll

[00:18:03.250]
also find that in all of our entries as well.

[00:18:05.598]
So you can again copy and paste this, get

[00:18:07.689]
link, put it in a discussion board,

[00:18:09.779]
put it in an email, put it in a syllabus,

[00:18:12.309]
a rubric wherever you want it to go, they'll be

[00:18:14.318]
able to click in and now they'll be pulled directly

[00:18:16.759]
to this page here

[00:18:19.588]
and this also works in reverse. So if

[00:18:21.709]
you prompt your students to

[00:18:23.890]
find an article of interest or an

[00:18:25.969]
image of interest

[00:18:27.459]
and you want them to share it with you, they can

[00:18:29.529]
do the same thing they can send over to their drives,

[00:18:32.098]
they can get a link and post that wherever

[00:18:34.489]
they in a discussion board response,

[00:18:36.890]
uh they'll be able to do that.

[00:18:38.769]
So a few different tools to actually pull content

[00:18:41.338]
for your users right here on the documents

[00:18:43.529]
pages.

[00:18:47.390]
Now, I'll pause here for a second. Are there any questions?

[00:18:49.529]
I've gone through a couple of steps here without pausing.

[00:18:51.969]
So I wanna make sure I hit everything. Are there any questions

[00:18:54.338]
from anyone before I kind of move forward?

[00:18:59.108]
OK. I don't see any. So we'll go ahead and keep moving

[00:19:01.259]
then. So after

[00:19:03.578]
you have all of your content, this is another

[00:19:05.759]
step that's sometimes easy

[00:19:07.910]
to skip over. But I think it's also really vital

[00:19:10.509]
if you're planning on having your students use

[00:19:12.809]
any of the tools within the gale resources.

[00:19:15.328]
And there are a lot of really beneficial tools

[00:19:17.650]
two I pointed out here today are highlights and notes

[00:19:19.719]
and citations. So if you want your students to kind

[00:19:21.759]
of talk to the text or if they're planning

[00:19:24.180]
on using a citation, if they're,

[00:19:26.229]
you know, building up

[00:19:28.108]
whatever they're working on and they need a work cited

[00:19:30.189]
page. I suggest

[00:19:32.219]
having them use those tools the

[00:19:34.299]
best way to make sure they know how to use those is of course

[00:19:36.709]
you telling them ahead of time. But

[00:19:38.729]
we also have premade tutorials

[00:19:40.920]
and tip sheets that will tell them for you.

[00:19:43.289]
So if you're planning on having them use

[00:19:45.449]
the citation tool,

[00:19:46.910]
you can go to our support site which is support.gale.com

[00:19:49.598]
pull our citation

[00:19:51.689]
tutorial, send that to them before

[00:19:53.930]
you, you know, do your activity before you

[00:19:56.029]
start your escape room, you know, they're going

[00:19:58.088]
to need to use the citation. So before you start

[00:20:00.279]
that, send them this tutorial, it's

[00:20:02.420]
under two minutes. I think it's actually closer to one,

[00:20:05.279]
they'll know how to use those tools.

[00:20:07.838]
So make sure you do have your

[00:20:09.989]
support materials ready to go for your students.

[00:20:12.039]
So they know how to actually use the resource.

[00:20:16.459]
And now once all of that is done,

[00:20:18.608]
this is when we actually start creating

[00:20:20.809]
our activity on our own. So we pull all of

[00:20:22.848]
our content first to make sure we have it

[00:20:25.920]
and then we build our activity. Again,

[00:20:28.299]
we recommend trying to do something engaging.

[00:20:30.650]
So as opposed to sticking with the standard,

[00:20:32.699]
you know, research papers that are

[00:20:35.219]
used most frequently when you're using Gale In Context

[00:20:37.598]
resources, try something

[00:20:39.719]
else. Build yourself a scavenger hunt or

[00:20:41.900]
a graphic organizer

[00:20:43.939]
or if you are doing a a DBQ

[00:20:46.108]
assignment event, maybe build

[00:20:48.279]
out a DBQ lesson plan,

[00:20:51.358]
kind of try to step out of the box as much

[00:20:53.430]
as you can. So you're really engaging your students

[00:20:55.809]
and we have a lot of premade templates ready

[00:20:57.910]
to go for you. So if you're not quite sure

[00:21:00.029]
what other types of activities you can do,

[00:21:02.759]
you can go to our support site. Again, I'm gonna

[00:21:05.068]
mention the supports at a few different times here.

[00:21:07.509]
But support.gale.com/training,

[00:21:11.939]
you'll be able to click into our different templates you'll

[00:21:14.029]
see here, we've got a biography template.

[00:21:16.380]
So if you're starting a biography

[00:21:19.150]
activity and you want them to learn about

[00:21:21.160]
maybe

[00:21:22.699]
female artists or Native

[00:21:25.150]
American authors or someone

[00:21:27.509]
specific, they can just complete

[00:21:29.809]
this quick activity here

[00:21:32.750]
using whatever resource

[00:21:34.779]
and they can just submit it to you.

[00:21:36.939]
So a nice simple way to find content

[00:21:39.739]
and to get them researching without

[00:21:41.890]
being kind of in a stuffy research

[00:21:44.489]
assignments. Of course, with our resource,

[00:21:47.509]
your students are looking for information,

[00:21:49.559]
period.

[00:21:50.618]
But we can make it a little more entertaining.

[00:21:52.930]
We can pull out graphic organizers

[00:21:55.239]
and we can walk them through a scavenger hunt to

[00:21:57.449]
really engage them and get them to understand

[00:21:59.920]
that these resources are not just for

[00:22:02.009]
when you have a big project that you need to get done.

[00:22:04.259]
Whenever you need information,

[00:22:06.189]
you have these resources available and

[00:22:08.368]
they can click in at any time.

[00:22:11.709]
So now you have your activity all created

[00:22:14.039]
and ready to go.

[00:22:15.779]
Our last step is going to be engaging your

[00:22:17.838]
students. And I first want to mention you

[00:22:20.068]
wanna check ahead of time that your students

[00:22:22.088]
have access to a device that's going to be

[00:22:24.130]
able to connect to these resources

[00:22:27.039]
and our resources are mobile responsive.

[00:22:29.279]
So if they don't have, you know, desktops or laptops,

[00:22:31.750]
if they're using a tablet, that's fine, they

[00:22:33.769]
can use their phone, they can use chromebooks. So

[00:22:36.088]
just make sure that they have those ready to go before

[00:22:38.279]
you start your activity.

[00:22:40.059]
I also recommend you teach your

[00:22:42.140]
students how to locate and sign in to the resources

[00:22:44.680]
before you send them on your way. So if

[00:22:46.719]
I have teachers on the line, you're not quite sure

[00:22:48.729]
how you authenticate,

[00:22:50.328]
reach out to whoever handles your

[00:22:52.489]
resources. So if it's a librarian or a media

[00:22:54.559]
specialist, someone in your admin team,

[00:22:57.318]
make sure you know how to sign in and make sure you

[00:22:59.410]
can share that with your students.

[00:23:01.930]
And of course, as you engage your students with

[00:23:04.348]
one of the last steps, if you did pull any support materials

[00:23:06.920]
to teach them how to use tools or maybe

[00:23:09.000]
how to just navigate the resource in general

[00:23:11.630]
at this point, make sure you share those with

[00:23:13.640]
your students. So now you're handing out the activity

[00:23:16.199]
or sending it electronically, you know, if

[00:23:18.358]
you're not going to use the handouts,

[00:23:20.578]
that's completely fine as well, send it over electronically

[00:23:23.209]
and you can have your students click directly

[00:23:25.439]
into the the resources

[00:23:27.880]
and get started that way.

[00:23:33.818]
Now, I also want to mention so now

[00:23:36.088]
that we've got our own lessons created, if you

[00:23:38.209]
need some support with lessons, if you just

[00:23:40.390]
don't have the time to build your own, you know, we've

[00:23:42.420]
walked through this and you appreciate everything we talked

[00:23:44.519]
about. But

[00:23:45.509]
uh time is an issue that's

[00:23:47.729]
completely fine. Our support site.

[00:23:49.848]
Again, we have fully created

[00:23:52.059]
activities, lesson plans.

[00:23:54.699]
So a fully developed lesson plan, as opposed

[00:23:56.890]
to just a handout, you're going to give to students,

[00:23:59.229]


[00:24:00.680]
video tutorials, all that good stuff on

[00:24:02.750]
our support site. So again, support.gale.com/training

[00:24:07.699]
and you'll find all of that material. You see, I've pulled

[00:24:09.848]
out just a collection here. We have

[00:24:12.049]
a, a question, a week activity within

[00:24:14.189]
Gale In Context: Elementary. This is really nice

[00:24:16.500]
for over the summer to make sure your

[00:24:18.838]
students are still engaged over the summer may

[00:24:21.009]
also be helpful for a bell ringer. They

[00:24:23.029]
answer one question as they come in the door.

[00:24:25.578]
You can take your quick attendance, all that

[00:24:27.630]
good stuff, tic tac toe boards,

[00:24:29.670]
which are kind of like choice sports where you have your

[00:24:31.789]
students in the resource, doing different things,

[00:24:34.729]
trading cards against scavenger

[00:24:36.809]
hunts. We have prebuilt novel studies here

[00:24:38.989]
as well. So if you're in my,

[00:24:41.130]
ELA folks, if you're looking for things

[00:24:43.410]
like novel studies or other things related

[00:24:45.568]
to your curriculum.

[00:24:47.318]
Take a look at our support site. You may find

[00:24:49.368]
content for you there as well.

[00:24:54.848]
No, that's all the information I have for you today. A nice

[00:24:57.108]
short and sweet session,

[00:24:59.489]
but just kind of to get you started

[00:25:01.568]
in your process.

[00:25:02.900]
If you have any questions about the session

[00:25:04.949]
or if you need me to clarify something we went over,

[00:25:07.410]
you can feel free to send me an email.

[00:25:09.489]
Uh It's just [email protected]

[00:25:11.680]
and I see we have someone with their hand

[00:25:14.019]
up. Uh If you don't mind, go ahead

[00:25:16.059]
and type your question into the Q and A.

[00:25:18.078]
your microphone is disabled.

[00:25:20.519]
So we're not going to be able to enable it

[00:25:22.618]
in the session today. So go ahead and put

[00:25:24.650]
your question in the Q and A and I'll get that answered

[00:25:26.838]
for you. Uh If

[00:25:29.130]
you want to talk about this further, maybe you wanna talk

[00:25:31.469]
more specifically about your account about how

[00:25:33.588]
you can get your collection into your learning community.

[00:25:36.269]
You can definitely get more specific with your

[00:25:38.390]
customer success manager. They'll have access

[00:25:40.588]
to your collection. They'll be able to talk

[00:25:43.029]
through each resource with you to kind

[00:25:45.160]
of see what some different best practices and

[00:25:47.269]
some different activity uh activity ideas

[00:25:49.568]
would be if you don't know who your customer

[00:25:51.900]
success manager is, you can just send an email

[00:25:54.160]
to [email protected]

[00:25:56.239]
and we'll be able to

[00:25:58.299]
forward you to the correct individual

[00:26:03.539]
and looks like we have a question here. Do we have any materials

[00:26:06.338]
in Spanish or tutorials in Spanish?

[00:26:09.019]
We do have student handouts

[00:26:11.170]
in Spanish on our support site. We don't have

[00:26:13.250]
tutorials in Spanish just yet.

[00:26:15.509]
Uh, but we do have uh, student handouts

[00:26:17.868]
that are oftentimes helpful that you can hand out

[00:26:19.880]
to the teachers, students and parents

[00:26:21.949]
that go over your resource

[00:26:24.029]
and go over your collection.

[00:26:27.009]
And if you're talking about within

[00:26:29.059]
the resource Miriam, we do have

[00:26:31.150]
some Spanish content in the resources

[00:26:33.348]
and we also have a full translate feature

[00:26:35.868]
so they can translate

[00:26:37.348]
um the articles they're reading as well

[00:26:39.410]
as the platform they're on.

[00:26:41.250]
So we do have both those options.

[00:26:47.479]
So you have access to a customer success

[00:26:49.750]
manager again. If you want to talk about

[00:26:52.328]
a Gale resource that you maybe don't have access

[00:26:54.430]
to, but you want access to, I always like to

[00:26:56.469]
mention your sales consultant. If

[00:26:58.489]
you don't know who that is, go ahead and go to support.gale.com/repfinder

[00:27:02.650]
you'll enter in your information

[00:27:04.868]
and we'll be able to get you to the correct individual

[00:27:07.140]
and you can talk about whatever resource you like.

[00:27:09.828]
If you have tech questions, you know, I mentioned

[00:27:12.259]
integrating with your learning management

[00:27:14.348]
a few times today if you're not integrated

[00:27:16.430]
and you want to be, you go ahead and reach out to

[00:27:18.539]
technical support and they can help you out with that. It's

[00:27:20.680]
just [email protected].

[00:27:24.098]
I appreciate everyone for being here today.

[00:27:26.118]
Hopefully we will see you all in sessions in the

[00:27:28.150]
future.
