Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.419]
Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining our session.
[00:00:07.780]
Today is focusing on how you can develop
[00:00:10.239]
scavenger hunts for your students using Gale
[00:00:12.478]
in context. My name is Amber
[00:00:14.589]
Winters and I am a senior training consultant
[00:00:16.670]
here with Gale.
[00:00:18.620]
So our agenda for today's 30 minute webinar
[00:00:20.908]
is first going to just talk why scavenger
[00:00:23.068]
hunts, what they are, why
[00:00:25.079]
we've chosen to use this type of activity
[00:00:27.100]
within Gillen context. Then we'll
[00:00:29.170]
talk about the development process.
[00:00:31.989]
how we like to do it here at Gale as trainers
[00:00:34.250]
build quite a few different scavenger hunts.
[00:00:36.500]
So we'll go through how we like to do it some
[00:00:38.509]
best practices as you start to build out your
[00:00:40.560]
own. And we'll actually walk through
[00:00:42.939]
what the process looks like live as well.
[00:00:45.168]
So we're going to get into one of the gal and context
[00:00:47.500]
resources kind of explore how
[00:00:49.700]
you can really build out these scavenger hunts to
[00:00:51.759]
best fit your students in your classroom
[00:00:53.978]
needs.
[00:00:55.389]
At towards the end of the session, I'll show
[00:00:57.459]
you where you can find our premade scavenger hunts. As
[00:00:59.590]
I mentioned, the training team builds
[00:01:01.618]
a lot of scavenger hunts So you may not even
[00:01:03.859]
need to make one on your own. We may have a scavenger
[00:01:06.138]
hunt for your topic already
[00:01:08.209]
created and listed on our support site. So we'll take
[00:01:10.319]
a look at that a little bit later on.
[00:01:12.680]
And then at the very end of the session, I have some contact
[00:01:14.778]
information for you if you need to reach out to
[00:01:16.838]
us for anything.
[00:01:18.198]
Um
[00:01:19.088]
Again, feel free to ask questions at any time
[00:01:21.260]
using the Q and A box. And if we get a little
[00:01:23.418]
bit overwhelmed with questions, we'll hold
[00:01:25.439]
off until this wrap up and I'll answer any
[00:01:27.879]
remaining questions for you.
[00:01:31.058]
So let's go ahead and get started. So, what
[00:01:33.150]
are scavenger hunts? Exactly. So
[00:01:35.439]
scavenger hunts are guided activities
[00:01:37.778]
that are designed to support students as they explore
[00:01:40.230]
one specific topic
[00:01:42.980]
within these scavenger hunts. Each of the questions
[00:01:45.278]
is a new step in the scavenger
[00:01:47.510]
hunt. It's looking at a new piece of content.
[00:01:49.680]
So the goal here is to guide
[00:01:52.019]
students, help them click on their own and kind
[00:01:54.159]
of navigate the resources on their own, but
[00:01:56.370]
guide them to specific bits of information
[00:01:58.388]
you want them to know about.
[00:02:00.459]
And we also want students engaging with different
[00:02:02.510]
content types, which is a great way we
[00:02:04.629]
like to use these scavenger hunts within Galen context
[00:02:07.349]
is if you take a look at this screenshot I have here,
[00:02:09.689]
we have them reading a reference article. Of course,
[00:02:12.250]
that's something you would expect out of a gal in context
[00:02:14.288]
resource. But we also have them
[00:02:16.368]
listening to an audio file. I believe this is
[00:02:18.479]
a podcast. Don't quote me on that, but we
[00:02:20.679]
have them listen to an audio file and we also have
[00:02:22.838]
them going here to the images section.
[00:02:24.949]
So Scavenger Hunts are really designed to
[00:02:27.028]
take students through
[00:02:28.868]
a wide variety of content in a really
[00:02:31.000]
simple way. So they're still building
[00:02:33.300]
their own research skills because they are navigating
[00:02:35.699]
through the platform. You know, you're not
[00:02:37.788]
printing out four articles, have them read,
[00:02:39.909]
you're still having them navigate, but you're really
[00:02:41.939]
providing a step by step to make
[00:02:44.038]
it seem more accessible and make it seem
[00:02:46.129]
a little bit more safe. Of course, the research
[00:02:48.689]
research process
[00:02:50.740]
can be a little bit frustrating, a little bit confusing
[00:02:53.080]
for students. So we kind of use this as a step by
[00:02:55.229]
step, help for students to kind of navigate
[00:02:57.460]
through when
[00:03:00.199]
we were talking specifically about using scavenger
[00:03:02.520]
hunts within gill in context. But we
[00:03:04.538]
really like to use this kind of formatting
[00:03:07.338]
because we have these nice topic pages.
[00:03:09.439]
If we have a screenshot here on this left hand side
[00:03:12.020]
that are curated for different topics.
[00:03:14.909]
the most studied the most used terms
[00:03:17.099]
and topics within each of our resources.
[00:03:19.308]
And these are found within all Galen context,
[00:03:21.618]
resources all the way from Galen
[00:03:23.689]
context, elementary up to high school
[00:03:25.729]
as well. As all of our more subject
[00:03:28.449]
specific resources like
[00:03:30.889]
us, history, world history, environmental
[00:03:33.129]
studies, things like that.
[00:03:34.649]
So we really like to use these topic pages when
[00:03:36.740]
we're building our scavenger hunts because each
[00:03:38.849]
of these pages have a summary
[00:03:41.179]
kind of at the right, right at the top of the page here. So
[00:03:43.240]
this is a good way to start off the scavenger
[00:03:45.379]
hunt is have students read this quick
[00:03:47.469]
summary, find a, a question that you
[00:03:49.558]
think would be helpful to get them started.
[00:03:52.028]
But then underneath that, we also have content
[00:03:54.149]
buckets here that list all of the different
[00:03:56.308]
content types we have available for this particular
[00:03:58.679]
topic.
[00:04:00.490]
So you can actually direct students to these
[00:04:02.528]
different topic, or sorry content
[00:04:04.538]
buckets, instead of having them,
[00:04:06.659]
you know, run search after search and hopefully they
[00:04:08.750]
find the, the articles that you found. Of
[00:04:10.758]
course, students are going to search differently.
[00:04:12.788]
This is really going to help them point and click to find
[00:04:14.909]
those different bits of content.
[00:04:18.399]
And this is what you see. This is what
[00:04:20.548]
students see. It's something I like to point out as well.
[00:04:22.790]
So, as you work through and
[00:04:24.869]
build out your scavenger hunt, you're going to see
[00:04:26.988]
how your students are going to click through. So
[00:04:29.048]
if you decide to tell them to click into a viewpoints,
[00:04:31.569]
right here, this viewpoint bucket
[00:04:33.670]
you're going to see
[00:04:35.220]
how they're going to click into that, you're going to see the articles
[00:04:37.540]
they see. So it's a nice way to make sure
[00:04:39.619]
again, students are discovering
[00:04:41.869]
the information they need, they're still discovering
[00:04:44.238]
it on their own, but you're guiding them,
[00:04:46.350]
you're helping them with that discovery.
[00:04:50.970]
Now, let's just talk about the process here.
[00:04:53.040]
So how we get started before we even get going
[00:04:55.149]
with these scavenger hunts, especially
[00:04:57.278]
if you have a lot of in context, resources.
[00:04:59.459]
Sometimes that can be a little bit overwhelming.
[00:05:01.838]
So just first what you want to do, of course,
[00:05:03.879]
this is optional, but we actually have a premade
[00:05:06.588]
template on our support site ready to go for
[00:05:08.709]
you. So if you don't want to have to kind of re invent
[00:05:10.720]
the wheel, you just want to kind of plug
[00:05:12.838]
in the information that you have.
[00:05:15.329]
You can do that. Give me one second here. I'm
[00:05:17.369]
posting this link into
[00:05:20.088]
our chat if anyone needs it.
[00:05:22.139]
There we go.
[00:05:24.139]
Um So again optional,
[00:05:26.470]
but you might want to consider downloading this template.
[00:05:28.519]
It's actually saved on our support site as
[00:05:30.829]
a powerpoint, which makes it a little bit easier
[00:05:32.949]
to kind of edit and move these
[00:05:35.028]
texts and these numbers around to best suit
[00:05:37.290]
your scavenger hunt.
[00:05:39.069]
Once you have your template or you make your own,
[00:05:41.420]
you know, if you want to tweak a little bit,
[00:05:43.980]
make sure you choose what in context resource
[00:05:46.439]
you want to use. We always recommend when
[00:05:48.509]
you're building these scavenger hunts to only use,
[00:05:51.189]
one resource just because
[00:05:53.389]
it's sometimes difficult to have students clicking
[00:05:55.509]
back and forth between, Gale in context,
[00:05:57.939]
middle school and gale in context science
[00:06:00.100]
and maybe trying to navigate back and forth. We
[00:06:02.259]
always recommend just choose the best
[00:06:04.350]
fit resource
[00:06:06.399]
if you're not quite sure what the best fit resource
[00:06:08.528]
is.
[00:06:09.488]
Um, I would suggest taking a look at our support
[00:06:11.809]
site, which we'll go over a little bit later to see
[00:06:13.899]
what's included in each resource. But
[00:06:16.170]
another way to see if the resource is going to be
[00:06:18.278]
a best fit is to check for a topic page.
[00:06:21.470]
Our scavenger hunts don't require a topic
[00:06:23.480]
page. Of course, you can just pull content by running
[00:06:25.629]
searches and browsing and things like that.
[00:06:28.009]
But as a best practice, the trainers
[00:06:30.108]
here, we really prefer to use these topic
[00:06:32.358]
pages because that ensures every
[00:06:34.619]
student is starting on the same exact spot
[00:06:37.178]
and they're going to see the same information
[00:06:39.259]
here. So really again, to
[00:06:41.319]
get started,
[00:06:42.750]
have you, your template ready to go
[00:06:45.139]
choose your in context resource? You may do
[00:06:47.278]
that just because you know it, you've
[00:06:49.410]
been using gale in context forever or
[00:06:51.500]
you may want to jump into a few different resources
[00:06:54.209]
and see which one has a topic page and which
[00:06:56.338]
one has a topic page that covers
[00:06:58.559]
your topic and the way you want it to be covered
[00:07:01.178]
if that makes sense because of course, if we're looking
[00:07:03.319]
at something like gale in context, opposing
[00:07:05.329]
viewpoints versus gale in context science,
[00:07:08.088]
you know, if you're looking at a science topic, but maybe
[00:07:10.230]
you're really trying to get it from that science
[00:07:12.238]
point of view, from the facts, from the
[00:07:14.608]
statistics, things like that
[00:07:17.048]
you may want Gale In Context: Science. But if
[00:07:19.139]
you're learning about a scientific topic from
[00:07:21.379]
a current event standpoint, you know how
[00:07:23.858]
global climate change is affecting us, you
[00:07:25.910]
may want to take a look at
[00:07:27.769]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints. So
[00:07:30.170]
just make sure you
[00:07:31.949]
know where you want to go ahead of time, have
[00:07:34.069]
your resource, try to find a topic
[00:07:36.238]
page if you can and then you'll go ahead
[00:07:38.369]
and get started.
[00:07:40.970]
So let's work through this together. Now, I'm
[00:07:43.108]
going to actually kind of
[00:07:45.509]
double up my screen here a little
[00:07:47.519]
bit. I
[00:07:49.608]
prefer to use this, this over
[00:07:51.829]
here.
[00:07:52.670]
Um I prefer to use two monitors. So if you have
[00:07:54.869]
two monitors available to you, I would suggest
[00:07:57.119]
using them as you move through this
[00:07:59.269]
this activity here.
[00:08:01.858]
But I'm going to keep everything just on the one
[00:08:04.139]
today. So it'll look
[00:08:06.319]
a little bit smushed and I'm sorry about that. But
[00:08:08.439]
I want you guys to kind of see
[00:08:10.309]
how we navigate through building
[00:08:12.649]
these scavenger hunts. So I've already
[00:08:14.720]
pulled up the template. If you download the template
[00:08:16.869]
with the link that I shared
[00:08:19.028]
in the chat, this is what you're going to see
[00:08:21.108]
here. Again, we've made it just an editable powerpoint
[00:08:24.790]
to make it simple to navigate through. If
[00:08:26.920]
you're using Google slides, it's gonna easily be exported
[00:08:30.048]
to Google slides as well.
[00:08:32.129]
So first thing we want to do on the left side of
[00:08:34.149]
the page of the screen here, I just chose
[00:08:36.219]
to use G and context opposing viewpoints today.
[00:08:39.190]
But if you don't have this resource, this
[00:08:42.029]
walk through that we're going to go through works. The exact
[00:08:44.349]
same for all of your resources.
[00:08:46.590]
I will say Gil in context elementary looks
[00:08:48.719]
slightly different because of course, we've built
[00:08:50.798]
it out for young students.
[00:08:52.729]
So it's a little more kind of point and
[00:08:54.779]
click a little more user user friendly in that
[00:08:56.859]
sense. But
[00:08:57.859]
the navigation in the platform still functions
[00:09:00.349]
the same. So whatever resource you're planning on
[00:09:02.418]
using,
[00:09:03.908]
you're going to do it the same way here.
[00:09:06.000]
So you'll see on my scavenger hunt here.
[00:09:08.259]
It first asks me to enter my topic. So
[00:09:10.298]
you wanna make sure you have a clear topic in mind
[00:09:12.779]
as you start to click through this. Of course,
[00:09:14.918]
you want to try to make it as specific as possible.
[00:09:17.019]
You know, if you're learning about hurricanes, you'll
[00:09:19.058]
see. We have our presidential elections
[00:09:21.139]
topic page fold forward here today.
[00:09:23.668]
Um For anyone watching this recorded, we are
[00:09:25.710]
currently in October, so we're really
[00:09:27.739]
kind of gearing up towards that election. So we
[00:09:30.048]
have that highlighted here,
[00:09:32.668]
you'll enter your resource name here
[00:09:35.658]
and then we'll go through. And with these
[00:09:37.690]
templates, we do have our templates designed
[00:09:40.219]
to use a topic page,
[00:09:42.690]
um, with the Scavenger hunt.
[00:09:44.798]
So if you're not going to use a topic page, if you're just
[00:09:46.908]
going to search and pull content, that way you
[00:09:49.168]
will need to edit this because you won't be guiding
[00:09:51.450]
your students to a specific topic page.
[00:09:53.849]
You know, you may just give them instructions
[00:09:56.119]
um on how to run a basic search or maybe
[00:09:58.340]
your instruction is, you know, click this link
[00:10:00.668]
to access the resource. But
[00:10:02.779]
for our templates, we always include here that
[00:10:04.889]
they're going to be navigating into a topic page.
[00:10:09.029]
Now, let's click back over here to g in context,
[00:10:11.460]
opposing viewpoints
[00:10:13.859]
and I want to scroll down. If you are planning on using
[00:10:16.029]
a topic page, there are a few ways you can find
[00:10:18.090]
it. You can of course, look at
[00:10:20.139]
our issues of interest if you don't have anything in mind.
[00:10:23.019]
And I will actually pause here. I didn't mention it
[00:10:25.048]
before. But um, these scavenger hunts
[00:10:27.239]
are great for sub plans, especially
[00:10:29.408]
if your students are comfortable within the gal
[00:10:31.418]
and context resources. These are nice
[00:10:33.580]
to hand out and have ready to go because they can click
[00:10:35.590]
into whatever topic and navigate
[00:10:37.609]
on their own. So just a quick aside there,
[00:10:39.840]
but again, if we're looking
[00:10:41.989]
for a topic page, we can look at our issues of interest.
[00:10:45.019]
I can also scroll down here
[00:10:47.678]
and you'll see we have these different, issues.
[00:10:50.178]
We have them called within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:10:52.210]
and each of these different
[00:10:54.250]
issues is a topic page.
[00:10:56.538]
So if I don't know exactly what I want, but I know
[00:10:58.899]
whatever I want is kind of in the realm of science
[00:11:01.239]
and tech. I can click here
[00:11:04.109]
and browse through the topic pages. I have available.
[00:11:07.830]
Of course, these lists get pretty extensive because we
[00:11:09.899]
have a lot of topic pages here within
[00:11:12.250]
each of our in context resources. So a lot
[00:11:14.450]
of times it's easier to run a search. So
[00:11:16.700]
you can still find topic pages within our search.
[00:11:19.119]
I'm going to go today for artificial
[00:11:21.379]
intelligence, something we talk about
[00:11:23.529]
frequently, right?
[00:11:25.408]
So when I start typing in my search here,
[00:11:27.629]
you'll see this first predictive
[00:11:29.960]
text I have tells me it's a topic
[00:11:32.038]
guide, you'll see, it gives me this little picture
[00:11:34.190]
that kind of differentiates it from the rest of
[00:11:36.219]
these
[00:11:37.239]
pre predictive texts.
[00:11:39.469]
So anytime there's a topic page that's related
[00:11:41.798]
to the search, I'm starting, it'll pop
[00:11:43.820]
up up top here.
[00:11:45.200]
And with this nice picture which I think is really nice for
[00:11:47.279]
students to have this visual. So they know
[00:11:49.479]
if they click on something with a picture
[00:11:51.599]
which we're going to do artificial intelligence,
[00:11:54.009]
they're going to be pulled forward to the topic page instead
[00:11:56.239]
of just a standard search results page.
[00:11:58.548]
And I'm actually going to just decrease the
[00:12:00.629]
size of this screen just a tiny bit just
[00:12:02.918]
so we can see everything.
sorry, it's
[00:12:05.070]
probably a little bit small. But, since
[00:12:07.428]
we're kind of splitting our screen here,
[00:12:10.700]
so now we're on a topic page here
[00:12:13.168]
and you can direct students to topic pages in
[00:12:15.219]
a few different ways. You'll see, um,
[00:12:17.538]
on our templates, we actually
[00:12:19.570]
tell them how to click onto the browse topics
[00:12:22.168]
and then open the topic page with the
[00:12:24.529]
topic of your choice. You
[00:12:26.729]
can also choose to use get link instead
[00:12:29.210]
and post the link here instead of
[00:12:31.450]
these step by steps. So this get
[00:12:33.509]
link is found at the top of the page here
[00:12:37.129]
and it's a persistent URL. So you can copy and
[00:12:39.149]
paste this here and tell you just tell your students, you know,
[00:12:41.158]
you're starting here. This is the password.
[00:12:43.298]
If your students don't already know how to sign into G and
[00:12:45.308]
context resources,
[00:12:47.320]
you know, you can give them the password here.
[00:12:49.048]
but they can just click right into this and they're
[00:12:51.149]
going to be pulled to this same
[00:12:53.178]
topic page that you're currently on.
[00:12:57.460]
Now, once we're on the topic page here, just a little lay
[00:12:59.548]
of the land if you haven't seen a topic page recently,
[00:13:02.288]
Again at the very top is our
[00:13:04.320]
overview and then underneath are all
[00:13:06.489]
of these different great content. Buckets.
[00:13:08.788]
And for me, these are really what
[00:13:10.908]
makes scavenger hunt development so easy
[00:13:13.269]
within gill in context,
[00:13:15.899]
I'll start off. Generally, I'm going
[00:13:18.119]
to click, read more in this overview
[00:13:20.029]
and I'll usually have students read through this
[00:13:22.048]
overview
[00:13:24.428]
and then I'll find
[00:13:25.558]
one or two questions. I want to ask them on the scavenger
[00:13:28.080]
hunt you'll see here. we could have
[00:13:30.200]
just one question. So if I just want to ask,
[00:13:33.379]
you know, what is artificial intelligence, I
[00:13:35.440]
can do that or I can put two. And
[00:13:37.570]
then we always have here a spot
[00:13:39.808]
for students to include their source
[00:13:41.869]
because we want to make sure that they
[00:13:43.928]
understand how to cite the materials they're
[00:13:45.969]
pulling. Even though technically you walked
[00:13:48.288]
them to where they are, they still
[00:13:50.450]
need to know how to pull that source citation. So we always
[00:13:52.739]
include source here
[00:13:55.479]
and what's great is within all of our in context
[00:13:57.710]
resources. They can actually pull the citation
[00:13:59.989]
right off the platform
[00:14:01.500]
right up top here in our toolbar is our citation
[00:14:03.928]
feature
[00:14:06.349]
and they can choose their edition Elaap, a
[00:14:08.489]
Chicago or Harvard.
[00:14:10.239]
And then they can copy and paste it right here
[00:14:12.519]
into the source section.
[00:14:15.330]
Of course, if they are doing this written,
[00:14:17.538]
then they'll write down the source, but they'll still
[00:14:19.619]
have it here.
[00:14:22.879]
And as you walk through, I recommend filling
[00:14:25.029]
out an answer guide as well as
[00:14:27.379]
you walk through each question instead of kind of trying to do
[00:14:29.469]
the answer guide at the end.
[00:14:31.158]
you'll see at the end of our scavenger hunt
[00:14:33.320]
template here
[00:14:35.599]
is our answer guide
[00:14:37.109]
or our, um, answer sheet.
[00:14:38.950]
So you can put in your own answers and put in your own
[00:14:41.048]
source.
[00:14:42.029]
It's easier to do it as you walk through the questions
[00:14:44.359]
as opposed to trying to go back and do it at the very end.
[00:14:48.879]
So again, generally the first one I
[00:14:51.349]
I will say select the blue read more button
[00:14:53.428]
under the title. So that's
[00:14:55.308]
you jump back here
[00:14:57.239]
right here. That's going to open up that overview
[00:14:59.359]
for them. And that's almost always my
[00:15:01.440]
first stop for students that's giving them
[00:15:03.570]
the base of this topic
[00:15:05.548]
to kind of get them to understand what they're going to be learning
[00:15:07.710]
about from there.
[00:15:09.869]
It's really up to you what you want
[00:15:11.908]
students to click into.
[00:15:13.399]
And of course, these content buckets are going to vary
[00:15:15.678]
based on the topic you're looking at as
[00:15:17.859]
well as based on the resource
[00:15:20.029]
itself. So these viewpoints sections
[00:15:22.469]
you're not going to find in our other resources
[00:15:25.009]
because they're specific to Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:15:27.269]
and Gale In Context: Global Issues
[00:15:29.418]
[00:15:30.519]
So if you have your students within Gale In Context: High School
[00:15:32.989]
let's say you
[00:15:35.229]
won't see these viewpoints, but you'll see reference articles.
[00:15:37.649]
So you may start them on a reference article,
[00:15:40.190]
but it's really up to you. So I recommend
[00:15:42.219]
kind of scrolling down,
[00:15:44.190]
you can click directly into the content bucket here
[00:15:46.460]
to see all of the different resources.
[00:15:51.389]
Just click one you think is interesting, ask
[00:15:53.570]
your question
[00:15:54.619]
and you'll pop it in here.
[00:15:57.168]
You'll see right here. It's telling you to enter
[00:15:59.200]
directions for students to find materials.
[00:16:02.070]
So generally, what we like to do is
[00:16:04.440]
we jump back to our main
[00:16:06.580]
topic page here.
[00:16:08.250]
It will tell them, click into the viewpoints
[00:16:10.519]
content bucket,
[00:16:13.808]
click into the article titled
[00:16:16.700]
um Employers must develop Smart A I policies
[00:16:19.389]
to avoid workplace discrimination. So
[00:16:21.609]
you are guiding students directly to the article,
[00:16:24.109]
you're making sure they're getting the content that you
[00:16:26.129]
want them to have. But again,
[00:16:28.149]
they're still clicking on their own. So they're still getting that
[00:16:30.219]
kind of feeling of being able to do it themselves.
[00:16:33.109]
If you have more advanced students,
[00:16:35.340]
you may want to start using filtering options
[00:16:37.690]
here. So you may say, you know, click
[00:16:39.710]
into the viewpoints content bucket limit
[00:16:42.288]
down to
[00:16:43.609]
um we'll say a publication limit down to
[00:16:46.969]
robotic technology publication and
[00:16:49.418]
click into this article. So it's giving them like another
[00:16:51.798]
step of having to discover this piece
[00:16:53.899]
of content.
[00:16:55.048]
But again, of course, that's going to be free of more
[00:16:57.210]
advanced learners who understand how filters
[00:16:59.450]
work and who can kind of do those extra
[00:17:01.500]
clicks.
[00:17:03.700]
Another great way to use this is to have
[00:17:05.759]
students decide what piece of content
[00:17:07.890]
they want to read. So if I go back here again
[00:17:09.969]
to just the main topic page,
[00:17:12.847]
let's scroll down here. Let's say I want them
[00:17:15.077]
to look at an infographic.
[00:17:17.358]
These are interactive statistics. They can
[00:17:19.468]
kind of hover over to get information from.
[00:17:21.917]
So let's say I want them to interpret one, but I don't
[00:17:24.067]
want to tell them which one. I'll just
[00:17:26.178]
give my directions. Click into the infographics
[00:17:28.858]
content bucket,
[00:17:30.689]
choose an infographic and describe
[00:17:32.959]
it to me or give me your opinion on it, whatever
[00:17:35.019]
you want it to be.
[00:17:36.348]
And then again, since they have to include
[00:17:38.410]
their source on the scavenger hunt,
[00:17:40.640]
you're going to be able to easily click in to see
[00:17:42.949]
what's infographic. They
[00:17:45.000]
actually chose to make sure they, you know,
[00:17:47.059]
they actually choose an infographic to take a look
[00:17:49.088]
at. So there's another great way to do that.
[00:17:51.098]
If you want students to have a little bit more autonomy,
[00:17:53.729]
you can direct them to a specific
[00:17:55.789]
content type, but then have them choose
[00:17:57.848]
their own
[00:17:58.959]
entry within that kind of spectrum.
[00:18:03.729]
And again, our content buckets scroll
[00:18:06.068]
back up here.
[00:18:07.650]
also includes separate spots
[00:18:09.779]
for images and videos which are
[00:18:11.858]
really great if you want students to,
[00:18:14.039]
you know, interpret an image on their own.
[00:18:16.420]
Maybe it's a political cartoon, maybe
[00:18:18.559]
it's a, a
[00:18:19.630]
scientific diagram or something
[00:18:21.920]
like that. They'll find those in the images
[00:18:24.279]
section here as well.
[00:18:26.289]
And if you were looking at maybe a social studies
[00:18:28.640]
topic, maybe a history topic. And
[00:18:30.670]
you wanted students to take a look at a primary
[00:18:32.779]
source, primary sources have their
[00:18:34.858]
own content buckets as well. We don't have any
[00:18:37.199]
currently attached to artificial intelligence,
[00:18:39.769]
which is make a little sense. You
[00:18:41.795]
know, artificial intelligence is a newer topic.
[00:18:44.594]
But if you were to look at something more historical
[00:18:47.125]
or something that just has a longer history in general,
[00:18:49.795]
primary sources may pop up here
[00:18:52.005]
as a content bucket
[00:18:54.404]
as well. So you can have your students click in and
[00:18:56.723]
find a primary source to kind of click
[00:18:58.904]
through with a scavenger hunt as well.
[00:19:04.088]
And our template has room for
[00:19:06.150]
five questions.
[00:19:07.750]
Of course, you're going to dictate how
[00:19:09.910]
many questions there need to be. if
[00:19:11.930]
you want there to be, you know, 10 steps, if you want this
[00:19:13.969]
to be kind of a longer scavenger hunt that's really
[00:19:16.118]
comprehensive and covering a lot of information.
[00:19:18.598]
You can certainly do that. but we default
[00:19:20.910]
to the five. So it's generally
[00:19:23.068]
going to be a little bit shorter. You'll see if I add multiple
[00:19:25.439]
questions to each of these sections.
[00:19:27.828]
you can bulk it up that way as well,
[00:19:30.608]
but we start with five and kind of go from there.
[00:19:32.930]
So if you are using
[00:19:34.949]
the template, that's where we're going to start off.
[00:19:40.630]
Now, are there any questions about scavenger
[00:19:43.000]
hunt development about, topic
[00:19:45.239]
pages, how they work things like
[00:19:47.299]
that? Ok.
[00:19:52.108]
I don't see any. So I, we have about 10 minutes.
[00:19:55.910]
Oh, we have a question.do you use topic
[00:19:58.140]
finder with this? Amy? You certainly
[00:20:00.368]
can. topic finder is
[00:20:02.549]
not going to necessarily
[00:20:04.559]
pull students to a topic page
[00:20:06.618]
immediately.
[00:20:07.949]
so if you are using topic finder,
[00:20:10.088]
I would just warn you that it
[00:20:13.420]
may require a little more research skills for students
[00:20:15.729]
to find the content they need
[00:20:17.769]
as opposed to starting right on topic page landing point.
[00:20:20.098]
But, um, yes, if you're having your students
[00:20:22.410]
use topic finder more frequently than you
[00:20:24.439]
are them clicking into topic pages and
[00:20:26.479]
things like that.
[00:20:27.420]
you can certainly do it that way. Yeah. You
[00:20:29.568]
know, instruct your students to run a
[00:20:31.578]
topic finder search on a specific topic,
[00:20:34.219]
and maybe have them navigate through the different
[00:20:36.368]
tiles to a specific spot.
[00:20:42.630]
We have another question here, how you created
[00:20:44.939]
this. So
[00:20:50.098]
the question is, have we created any scavenger
[00:20:52.318]
hunts where the students are?
[00:20:54.368]
The students need to find a resource instead of
[00:20:56.459]
directing them there.
[00:20:57.989]
Um, on our support side
[00:21:00.049]
are premade scavenger hunts. We don't have
[00:21:02.180]
a lot that are kind of student led.
[00:21:04.289]
Like you're, um, suggesting,
[00:21:06.729]
a lot of ours just since they're
[00:21:08.939]
pretty broad and we're kind of
[00:21:11.088]
handing them out nationally are a lot more,
[00:21:13.318]
kind of teacher directed as opposed to
[00:21:15.328]
student directed. But,
[00:21:16.750]
um, that's definitely something you can do if you want this
[00:21:19.059]
to be kind of student led and maybe you
[00:21:21.130]
want them to develop their own scavenger hunt or
[00:21:23.189]
something like that.
[00:21:24.209]
We don't have one premade, but that's definitely
[00:21:26.608]
something you can do even if you want to start out with
[00:21:28.660]
our template and just kind of edit it for your students.
[00:21:34.059]
Ok. So I'm going to close out of my template
[00:21:36.108]
here,
[00:21:37.660]
bring this up full screen and
[00:21:40.078]
bump this back up. There we go because I
[00:21:42.088]
do want to show you where you can find
[00:21:44.098]
our premade scavenger hunts. So if
[00:21:46.189]
you don't really want to make your own just yet, you want to see
[00:21:48.289]
what we have available. They're all listening on our support
[00:21:50.709]
site, which is just support.gale.com.
[00:21:56.358]
Hm.
[00:21:58.578]
And once you are clicked into the support
[00:22:00.598]
site here, you have the option to
[00:22:02.660]
enter your location ID right here on
[00:22:04.729]
this, at the right side of the page,
[00:22:06.828]
it's not required. But if you know your location
[00:22:09.029]
ID and you put it in, we're actually going to
[00:22:11.140]
filter out the content you see to just include
[00:22:13.539]
the products that you have available. So
[00:22:15.568]
right now, if you only have two or three in context,
[00:22:17.979]
resources, you probably don't want to see scavenger
[00:22:20.299]
hunts for the rest of them. A way
[00:22:22.519]
to avoid that is to enter in your location ID
[00:22:24.739]
here, you can use the find your location if
[00:22:26.799]
you don't know it.
[00:22:27.719]
but again, it's not required if you just want to see
[00:22:29.789]
every scavenger hunt we have available. You
[00:22:31.868]
can certainly do that. how you're gonna do that
[00:22:33.969]
is go up to the training center and the toolbar
[00:22:36.108]
of top here
[00:22:38.189]
and you can find it two different ways. You can browse
[00:22:40.239]
by the type or you can browse by
[00:22:42.309]
product. So if you know, you're going to be using,
[00:22:44.509]
let's say gal and context environmental studies,
[00:22:47.049]
and you just want to find information just
[00:22:49.170]
for that, go on by product if you're
[00:22:51.199]
not so sure, and you want to see everything we
[00:22:53.279]
have go on by type. So
[00:22:55.289]
I'm going to go on by type.
[00:22:59.469]
And all of our scavenger hunts are listed
[00:23:01.479]
under activities here. So it's the first
[00:23:03.618]
one on top
[00:23:05.489]
and I warn you, we have a lot of activities
[00:23:07.769]
built out within our support site
[00:23:09.890]
as you can see here and not all of them are scavenger
[00:23:12.279]
hunts. We have quite a few different activity types we've
[00:23:14.348]
built out. But if you're looking for a scavenger
[00:23:16.608]
hunt, what I suggest is under this
[00:23:18.739]
search, just search scavenger
[00:23:20.930]
or, you know, start typing scavenger and
[00:23:23.309]
it's just going to show you just the scavenger hunt
[00:23:25.420]
here. What's really nice is
[00:23:27.559]
when you click through this here, you'll see what the topic
[00:23:29.949]
is. So we say this one's about advertising
[00:23:32.459]
and you're also going to see the resource that we use.
[00:23:34.900]
So for this one, we're using Gale and context opposing
[00:23:37.259]
viewpoints.
[00:23:39.309]
Now if you're looking through this and you really want
[00:23:41.410]
to use an advertising scavenger hunt, but you
[00:23:43.430]
don't have access to scale and context opposing viewpoints.
[00:23:46.250]
Click into this. Anyways, take a look
[00:23:48.410]
at what we did. You may be able to use a
[00:23:50.430]
different resource. You'll have to edit the questions,
[00:23:52.578]
of course, to, um,
[00:23:54.680]
to relate to content found within that different resource.
[00:23:57.479]
But it still may be a good starting point for you even
[00:23:59.640]
if you don't have access to the resources utilizing.
[00:24:02.059]
So if you see the topic, I suggest
[00:24:04.568]
clicking in and you can edit for
[00:24:06.680]
whatever resource you do have access to.
[00:24:10.469]
But you see we have quite a few here scrolling
[00:24:12.930]
down. This is also where you're going to find
[00:24:15.068]
our scavenger hunt template. Again,
[00:24:17.539]
links in the chat if you just want to have the link,
[00:24:19.719]
but you will find it listed here
[00:24:21.858]
on the activities section
[00:24:24.019]
as well.
[00:24:25.509]
You see we try to make at least
[00:24:27.529]
one for all of our resource, excuse
[00:24:29.949]
me for all of our resources. So
[00:24:32.059]
gel and context middle school, we have
[00:24:34.088]
some for gal in context, elementary high school,
[00:24:37.509]
the histories, the sciences.
[00:24:39.848]
We're trying to include scavenger
[00:24:42.338]
hunts for all of our resources here.
[00:24:45.848]
And if you do find one, you like, you just click into
[00:24:47.880]
it, you'll
[00:24:50.368]
see it listed here. So it's premade
[00:24:52.390]
for you
[00:24:55.250]
and you can download it or you can print it, have
[00:24:57.279]
it ready to go
[00:24:58.578]
and each of our scavenger hunts do
[00:25:00.588]
include answer sheets. So you won't need to build out
[00:25:02.660]
your own answer sheet. We already include those for
[00:25:04.709]
you. so just make sure when you're handing
[00:25:06.979]
these out, you don't accidentally,
[00:25:09.989]
hand out the answer sheets to your students.
[00:25:12.549]
That's the one thing to watch out for. I can say, as
[00:25:14.880]
a former teacher, I have been guilty of almost doing that
[00:25:17.160]
a few different times. So,
[00:25:18.769]
each of these do come with answer sheets at the very end.
[00:25:21.009]
So make sure you keep those answer sheets to yourself
[00:25:23.140]
and just hand the activity out to your students.
[00:25:26.539]
But again, to find this, we just go
[00:25:28.618]
under training center.
[00:25:30.150]
I decided to browse by type and I clicked
[00:25:32.410]
into activities to see the scavenger hunts
[00:25:35.130]
if I decided to go by product here,
[00:25:38.289]
let's find it in context
[00:25:40.309]
I didn't sign in. So you see, I have a lot going on.
[00:25:46.338]
So let's say I decided to go into Gale In Context: Middle School.
[00:25:49.108]
I chose school materials here. If
[00:25:51.130]
you were to sign in with your location ID, you won't
[00:25:53.209]
need to change this. It's going to recognize you
[00:25:55.250]
and change it for you.
[00:25:56.559]
Um, but I changed it here just because I'm not signed in
[00:25:59.588]
and all of our activities are going to be found towards
[00:26:01.828]
the bottom here in this fine lessons and
[00:26:03.838]
activities section.
[00:26:06.469]
Again, you'll find activities other than scavenger
[00:26:08.789]
hunts, you see we have for this an escape room, a tic
[00:26:10.979]
tac toe activity. but this is
[00:26:13.000]
where you'll find the scavenger hunts just for
[00:26:15.180]
Gill and context middle school.
[00:26:22.160]
Ok. We've got about three minutes. Let me jump back
[00:26:24.430]
just to give you some wrap up contact information.
[00:26:27.328]
If anyone thought of any questions while I was talking,
[00:26:29.709]
please go ahead and pop those into the Q and A now
[00:26:31.779]
and I'll be able to answer them for you
[00:26:34.039]
while you do that. Let me give you some contact
[00:26:36.219]
and wrap up info. If you think of any
[00:26:38.229]
questions once we get off the line today or just have
[00:26:40.299]
a question about just the webinar in general,
[00:26:42.479]

If you want to talk a little bit more about
[00:26:52.199]
how you can use this in your learning community, maybe you
[00:26:54.289]
have a specific topic in mind and you want to talk
[00:26:56.380]
to someone about uh the best resource
[00:26:58.680]
to use or just, you know, best practices.
[00:27:01.068]
Uh You can reach out to your customer success manager.
[00:27:03.420]

we'll forward you to the correct individual.
[00:27:10.769]
Uh If you want to talk to your sales consultant
[00:27:13.118]
about in context resource, you don't have access
[00:27:15.318]
to, you can feel free to either email
[00:27:17.588]

[00:27:19.779]
[00:27:22.250]
and we'll forward you to the correct individual.
[00:27:25.229]
And then finally, I've included again here,
[00:27:27.239]
the support site for all of you. So if
[00:27:29.328]

[00:27:41.140]
our support site is support.gale.com.
[00:27:43.779]
You'll also find our recorded webinars there.
[00:27:46.140]
Marketing materials, information
[00:27:48.410]
about kind of the technical side of things.
[00:27:51.219]
A lot of good stuff on our support site.
[00:27:56.890]
Ok? No, I haven't seen any questions come up.
[00:27:59.000]
So I'm going to go ahead and end our session again,
[00:28:01.259]
if you do have questions, reach out to any,
[00:28:03.269]
any method you see on the screen
[00:28:05.289]
here and we can all help you out. But thank you for
[00:28:07.420]
joining in our session today and hopefully we will
[00:28:09.449]
see you in future once everyone enjoy
[00:28:11.559]
the rest of your day.
Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining our session.
[00:00:07.780]
Today is focusing on how you can develop
[00:00:10.239]
scavenger hunts for your students using Gale
[00:00:12.478]
in context. My name is Amber
[00:00:14.589]
Winters and I am a senior training consultant
[00:00:16.670]
here with Gale.
[00:00:18.620]
So our agenda for today's 30 minute webinar
[00:00:20.908]
is first going to just talk why scavenger
[00:00:23.068]
hunts, what they are, why
[00:00:25.079]
we've chosen to use this type of activity
[00:00:27.100]
within Gillen context. Then we'll
[00:00:29.170]
talk about the development process.
[00:00:31.989]
how we like to do it here at Gale as trainers
[00:00:34.250]
build quite a few different scavenger hunts.
[00:00:36.500]
So we'll go through how we like to do it some
[00:00:38.509]
best practices as you start to build out your
[00:00:40.560]
own. And we'll actually walk through
[00:00:42.939]
what the process looks like live as well.
[00:00:45.168]
So we're going to get into one of the gal and context
[00:00:47.500]
resources kind of explore how
[00:00:49.700]
you can really build out these scavenger hunts to
[00:00:51.759]
best fit your students in your classroom
[00:00:53.978]
needs.
[00:00:55.389]
At towards the end of the session, I'll show
[00:00:57.459]
you where you can find our premade scavenger hunts. As
[00:00:59.590]
I mentioned, the training team builds
[00:01:01.618]
a lot of scavenger hunts So you may not even
[00:01:03.859]
need to make one on your own. We may have a scavenger
[00:01:06.138]
hunt for your topic already
[00:01:08.209]
created and listed on our support site. So we'll take
[00:01:10.319]
a look at that a little bit later on.
[00:01:12.680]
And then at the very end of the session, I have some contact
[00:01:14.778]
information for you if you need to reach out to
[00:01:16.838]
us for anything.
[00:01:18.198]
Um
[00:01:19.088]
Again, feel free to ask questions at any time
[00:01:21.260]
using the Q and A box. And if we get a little
[00:01:23.418]
bit overwhelmed with questions, we'll hold
[00:01:25.439]
off until this wrap up and I'll answer any
[00:01:27.879]
remaining questions for you.
[00:01:31.058]
So let's go ahead and get started. So, what
[00:01:33.150]
are scavenger hunts? Exactly. So
[00:01:35.439]
scavenger hunts are guided activities
[00:01:37.778]
that are designed to support students as they explore
[00:01:40.230]
one specific topic
[00:01:42.980]
within these scavenger hunts. Each of the questions
[00:01:45.278]
is a new step in the scavenger
[00:01:47.510]
hunt. It's looking at a new piece of content.
[00:01:49.680]
So the goal here is to guide
[00:01:52.019]
students, help them click on their own and kind
[00:01:54.159]
of navigate the resources on their own, but
[00:01:56.370]
guide them to specific bits of information
[00:01:58.388]
you want them to know about.
[00:02:00.459]
And we also want students engaging with different
[00:02:02.510]
content types, which is a great way we
[00:02:04.629]
like to use these scavenger hunts within Galen context
[00:02:07.349]
is if you take a look at this screenshot I have here,
[00:02:09.689]
we have them reading a reference article. Of course,
[00:02:12.250]
that's something you would expect out of a gal in context
[00:02:14.288]
resource. But we also have them
[00:02:16.368]
listening to an audio file. I believe this is
[00:02:18.479]
a podcast. Don't quote me on that, but we
[00:02:20.679]
have them listen to an audio file and we also have
[00:02:22.838]
them going here to the images section.
[00:02:24.949]
So Scavenger Hunts are really designed to
[00:02:27.028]
take students through
[00:02:28.868]
a wide variety of content in a really
[00:02:31.000]
simple way. So they're still building
[00:02:33.300]
their own research skills because they are navigating
[00:02:35.699]
through the platform. You know, you're not
[00:02:37.788]
printing out four articles, have them read,
[00:02:39.909]
you're still having them navigate, but you're really
[00:02:41.939]
providing a step by step to make
[00:02:44.038]
it seem more accessible and make it seem
[00:02:46.129]
a little bit more safe. Of course, the research
[00:02:48.689]
research process
[00:02:50.740]
can be a little bit frustrating, a little bit confusing
[00:02:53.080]
for students. So we kind of use this as a step by
[00:02:55.229]
step, help for students to kind of navigate
[00:02:57.460]
through when
[00:03:00.199]
we were talking specifically about using scavenger
[00:03:02.520]
hunts within gill in context. But we
[00:03:04.538]
really like to use this kind of formatting
[00:03:07.338]
because we have these nice topic pages.
[00:03:09.439]
If we have a screenshot here on this left hand side
[00:03:12.020]
that are curated for different topics.
[00:03:14.909]
the most studied the most used terms
[00:03:17.099]
and topics within each of our resources.
[00:03:19.308]
And these are found within all Galen context,
[00:03:21.618]
resources all the way from Galen
[00:03:23.689]
context, elementary up to high school
[00:03:25.729]
as well. As all of our more subject
[00:03:28.449]
specific resources like
[00:03:30.889]
us, history, world history, environmental
[00:03:33.129]
studies, things like that.
[00:03:34.649]
So we really like to use these topic pages when
[00:03:36.740]
we're building our scavenger hunts because each
[00:03:38.849]
of these pages have a summary
[00:03:41.179]
kind of at the right, right at the top of the page here. So
[00:03:43.240]
this is a good way to start off the scavenger
[00:03:45.379]
hunt is have students read this quick
[00:03:47.469]
summary, find a, a question that you
[00:03:49.558]
think would be helpful to get them started.
[00:03:52.028]
But then underneath that, we also have content
[00:03:54.149]
buckets here that list all of the different
[00:03:56.308]
content types we have available for this particular
[00:03:58.679]
topic.
[00:04:00.490]
So you can actually direct students to these
[00:04:02.528]
different topic, or sorry content
[00:04:04.538]
buckets, instead of having them,
[00:04:06.659]
you know, run search after search and hopefully they
[00:04:08.750]
find the, the articles that you found. Of
[00:04:10.758]
course, students are going to search differently.
[00:04:12.788]
This is really going to help them point and click to find
[00:04:14.909]
those different bits of content.
[00:04:18.399]
And this is what you see. This is what
[00:04:20.548]
students see. It's something I like to point out as well.
[00:04:22.790]
So, as you work through and
[00:04:24.869]
build out your scavenger hunt, you're going to see
[00:04:26.988]
how your students are going to click through. So
[00:04:29.048]
if you decide to tell them to click into a viewpoints,
[00:04:31.569]
right here, this viewpoint bucket
[00:04:33.670]
you're going to see
[00:04:35.220]
how they're going to click into that, you're going to see the articles
[00:04:37.540]
they see. So it's a nice way to make sure
[00:04:39.619]
again, students are discovering
[00:04:41.869]
the information they need, they're still discovering
[00:04:44.238]
it on their own, but you're guiding them,
[00:04:46.350]
you're helping them with that discovery.
[00:04:50.970]
Now, let's just talk about the process here.
[00:04:53.040]
So how we get started before we even get going
[00:04:55.149]
with these scavenger hunts, especially
[00:04:57.278]
if you have a lot of in context, resources.
[00:04:59.459]
Sometimes that can be a little bit overwhelming.
[00:05:01.838]
So just first what you want to do, of course,
[00:05:03.879]
this is optional, but we actually have a premade
[00:05:06.588]
template on our support site ready to go for
[00:05:08.709]
you. So if you don't want to have to kind of re invent
[00:05:10.720]
the wheel, you just want to kind of plug
[00:05:12.838]
in the information that you have.
[00:05:15.329]
You can do that. Give me one second here. I'm
[00:05:17.369]
posting this link into
[00:05:20.088]
our chat if anyone needs it.
[00:05:22.139]
There we go.
[00:05:24.139]
Um So again optional,
[00:05:26.470]
but you might want to consider downloading this template.
[00:05:28.519]
It's actually saved on our support site as
[00:05:30.829]
a powerpoint, which makes it a little bit easier
[00:05:32.949]
to kind of edit and move these
[00:05:35.028]
texts and these numbers around to best suit
[00:05:37.290]
your scavenger hunt.
[00:05:39.069]
Once you have your template or you make your own,
[00:05:41.420]
you know, if you want to tweak a little bit,
[00:05:43.980]
make sure you choose what in context resource
[00:05:46.439]
you want to use. We always recommend when
[00:05:48.509]
you're building these scavenger hunts to only use,
[00:05:51.189]
one resource just because
[00:05:53.389]
it's sometimes difficult to have students clicking
[00:05:55.509]
back and forth between, Gale in context,
[00:05:57.939]
middle school and gale in context science
[00:06:00.100]
and maybe trying to navigate back and forth. We
[00:06:02.259]
always recommend just choose the best
[00:06:04.350]
fit resource
[00:06:06.399]
if you're not quite sure what the best fit resource
[00:06:08.528]
is.
[00:06:09.488]
Um, I would suggest taking a look at our support
[00:06:11.809]
site, which we'll go over a little bit later to see
[00:06:13.899]
what's included in each resource. But
[00:06:16.170]
another way to see if the resource is going to be
[00:06:18.278]
a best fit is to check for a topic page.
[00:06:21.470]
Our scavenger hunts don't require a topic
[00:06:23.480]
page. Of course, you can just pull content by running
[00:06:25.629]
searches and browsing and things like that.
[00:06:28.009]
But as a best practice, the trainers
[00:06:30.108]
here, we really prefer to use these topic
[00:06:32.358]
pages because that ensures every
[00:06:34.619]
student is starting on the same exact spot
[00:06:37.178]
and they're going to see the same information
[00:06:39.259]
here. So really again, to
[00:06:41.319]
get started,
[00:06:42.750]
have you, your template ready to go
[00:06:45.139]
choose your in context resource? You may do
[00:06:47.278]
that just because you know it, you've
[00:06:49.410]
been using gale in context forever or
[00:06:51.500]
you may want to jump into a few different resources
[00:06:54.209]
and see which one has a topic page and which
[00:06:56.338]
one has a topic page that covers
[00:06:58.559]
your topic and the way you want it to be covered
[00:07:01.178]
if that makes sense because of course, if we're looking
[00:07:03.319]
at something like gale in context, opposing
[00:07:05.329]
viewpoints versus gale in context science,
[00:07:08.088]
you know, if you're looking at a science topic, but maybe
[00:07:10.230]
you're really trying to get it from that science
[00:07:12.238]
point of view, from the facts, from the
[00:07:14.608]
statistics, things like that
[00:07:17.048]
you may want Gale In Context: Science. But if
[00:07:19.139]
you're learning about a scientific topic from
[00:07:21.379]
a current event standpoint, you know how
[00:07:23.858]
global climate change is affecting us, you
[00:07:25.910]
may want to take a look at
[00:07:27.769]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints. So
[00:07:30.170]
just make sure you
[00:07:31.949]
know where you want to go ahead of time, have
[00:07:34.069]
your resource, try to find a topic
[00:07:36.238]
page if you can and then you'll go ahead
[00:07:38.369]
and get started.
[00:07:40.970]
So let's work through this together. Now, I'm
[00:07:43.108]
going to actually kind of
[00:07:45.509]
double up my screen here a little
[00:07:47.519]
bit. I
[00:07:49.608]
prefer to use this, this over
[00:07:51.829]
here.
[00:07:52.670]
Um I prefer to use two monitors. So if you have
[00:07:54.869]
two monitors available to you, I would suggest
[00:07:57.119]
using them as you move through this
[00:07:59.269]
this activity here.
[00:08:01.858]
But I'm going to keep everything just on the one
[00:08:04.139]
today. So it'll look
[00:08:06.319]
a little bit smushed and I'm sorry about that. But
[00:08:08.439]
I want you guys to kind of see
[00:08:10.309]
how we navigate through building
[00:08:12.649]
these scavenger hunts. So I've already
[00:08:14.720]
pulled up the template. If you download the template
[00:08:16.869]
with the link that I shared
[00:08:19.028]
in the chat, this is what you're going to see
[00:08:21.108]
here. Again, we've made it just an editable powerpoint
[00:08:24.790]
to make it simple to navigate through. If
[00:08:26.920]
you're using Google slides, it's gonna easily be exported
[00:08:30.048]
to Google slides as well.
[00:08:32.129]
So first thing we want to do on the left side of
[00:08:34.149]
the page of the screen here, I just chose
[00:08:36.219]
to use G and context opposing viewpoints today.
[00:08:39.190]
But if you don't have this resource, this
[00:08:42.029]
walk through that we're going to go through works. The exact
[00:08:44.349]
same for all of your resources.
[00:08:46.590]
I will say Gil in context elementary looks
[00:08:48.719]
slightly different because of course, we've built
[00:08:50.798]
it out for young students.
[00:08:52.729]
So it's a little more kind of point and
[00:08:54.779]
click a little more user user friendly in that
[00:08:56.859]
sense. But
[00:08:57.859]
the navigation in the platform still functions
[00:09:00.349]
the same. So whatever resource you're planning on
[00:09:02.418]
using,
[00:09:03.908]
you're going to do it the same way here.
[00:09:06.000]
So you'll see on my scavenger hunt here.
[00:09:08.259]
It first asks me to enter my topic. So
[00:09:10.298]
you wanna make sure you have a clear topic in mind
[00:09:12.779]
as you start to click through this. Of course,
[00:09:14.918]
you want to try to make it as specific as possible.
[00:09:17.019]
You know, if you're learning about hurricanes, you'll
[00:09:19.058]
see. We have our presidential elections
[00:09:21.139]
topic page fold forward here today.
[00:09:23.668]
Um For anyone watching this recorded, we are
[00:09:25.710]
currently in October, so we're really
[00:09:27.739]
kind of gearing up towards that election. So we
[00:09:30.048]
have that highlighted here,
[00:09:32.668]
you'll enter your resource name here
[00:09:35.658]
and then we'll go through. And with these
[00:09:37.690]
templates, we do have our templates designed
[00:09:40.219]
to use a topic page,
[00:09:42.690]
um, with the Scavenger hunt.
[00:09:44.798]
So if you're not going to use a topic page, if you're just
[00:09:46.908]
going to search and pull content, that way you
[00:09:49.168]
will need to edit this because you won't be guiding
[00:09:51.450]
your students to a specific topic page.
[00:09:53.849]
You know, you may just give them instructions
[00:09:56.119]
um on how to run a basic search or maybe
[00:09:58.340]
your instruction is, you know, click this link
[00:10:00.668]
to access the resource. But
[00:10:02.779]
for our templates, we always include here that
[00:10:04.889]
they're going to be navigating into a topic page.
[00:10:09.029]
Now, let's click back over here to g in context,
[00:10:11.460]
opposing viewpoints
[00:10:13.859]
and I want to scroll down. If you are planning on using
[00:10:16.029]
a topic page, there are a few ways you can find
[00:10:18.090]
it. You can of course, look at
[00:10:20.139]
our issues of interest if you don't have anything in mind.
[00:10:23.019]
And I will actually pause here. I didn't mention it
[00:10:25.048]
before. But um, these scavenger hunts
[00:10:27.239]
are great for sub plans, especially
[00:10:29.408]
if your students are comfortable within the gal
[00:10:31.418]
and context resources. These are nice
[00:10:33.580]
to hand out and have ready to go because they can click
[00:10:35.590]
into whatever topic and navigate
[00:10:37.609]
on their own. So just a quick aside there,
[00:10:39.840]
but again, if we're looking
[00:10:41.989]
for a topic page, we can look at our issues of interest.
[00:10:45.019]
I can also scroll down here
[00:10:47.678]
and you'll see we have these different, issues.
[00:10:50.178]
We have them called within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:10:52.210]
and each of these different
[00:10:54.250]
issues is a topic page.
[00:10:56.538]
So if I don't know exactly what I want, but I know
[00:10:58.899]
whatever I want is kind of in the realm of science
[00:11:01.239]
and tech. I can click here
[00:11:04.109]
and browse through the topic pages. I have available.
[00:11:07.830]
Of course, these lists get pretty extensive because we
[00:11:09.899]
have a lot of topic pages here within
[00:11:12.250]
each of our in context resources. So a lot
[00:11:14.450]
of times it's easier to run a search. So
[00:11:16.700]
you can still find topic pages within our search.
[00:11:19.119]
I'm going to go today for artificial
[00:11:21.379]
intelligence, something we talk about
[00:11:23.529]
frequently, right?
[00:11:25.408]
So when I start typing in my search here,
[00:11:27.629]
you'll see this first predictive
[00:11:29.960]
text I have tells me it's a topic
[00:11:32.038]
guide, you'll see, it gives me this little picture
[00:11:34.190]
that kind of differentiates it from the rest of
[00:11:36.219]
these
[00:11:37.239]
pre predictive texts.
[00:11:39.469]
So anytime there's a topic page that's related
[00:11:41.798]
to the search, I'm starting, it'll pop
[00:11:43.820]
up up top here.
[00:11:45.200]
And with this nice picture which I think is really nice for
[00:11:47.279]
students to have this visual. So they know
[00:11:49.479]
if they click on something with a picture
[00:11:51.599]
which we're going to do artificial intelligence,
[00:11:54.009]
they're going to be pulled forward to the topic page instead
[00:11:56.239]
of just a standard search results page.
[00:11:58.548]
And I'm actually going to just decrease the
[00:12:00.629]
size of this screen just a tiny bit just
[00:12:02.918]
so we can see everything.
sorry, it's
[00:12:05.070]
probably a little bit small. But, since
[00:12:07.428]
we're kind of splitting our screen here,
[00:12:10.700]
so now we're on a topic page here
[00:12:13.168]
and you can direct students to topic pages in
[00:12:15.219]
a few different ways. You'll see, um,
[00:12:17.538]
on our templates, we actually
[00:12:19.570]
tell them how to click onto the browse topics
[00:12:22.168]
and then open the topic page with the
[00:12:24.529]
topic of your choice. You
[00:12:26.729]
can also choose to use get link instead
[00:12:29.210]
and post the link here instead of
[00:12:31.450]
these step by steps. So this get
[00:12:33.509]
link is found at the top of the page here
[00:12:37.129]
and it's a persistent URL. So you can copy and
[00:12:39.149]
paste this here and tell you just tell your students, you know,
[00:12:41.158]
you're starting here. This is the password.
[00:12:43.298]
If your students don't already know how to sign into G and
[00:12:45.308]
context resources,
[00:12:47.320]
you know, you can give them the password here.
[00:12:49.048]
but they can just click right into this and they're
[00:12:51.149]
going to be pulled to this same
[00:12:53.178]
topic page that you're currently on.
[00:12:57.460]
Now, once we're on the topic page here, just a little lay
[00:12:59.548]
of the land if you haven't seen a topic page recently,
[00:13:02.288]
Again at the very top is our
[00:13:04.320]
overview and then underneath are all
[00:13:06.489]
of these different great content. Buckets.
[00:13:08.788]
And for me, these are really what
[00:13:10.908]
makes scavenger hunt development so easy
[00:13:13.269]
within gill in context,
[00:13:15.899]
I'll start off. Generally, I'm going
[00:13:18.119]
to click, read more in this overview
[00:13:20.029]
and I'll usually have students read through this
[00:13:22.048]
overview
[00:13:24.428]
and then I'll find
[00:13:25.558]
one or two questions. I want to ask them on the scavenger
[00:13:28.080]
hunt you'll see here. we could have
[00:13:30.200]
just one question. So if I just want to ask,
[00:13:33.379]
you know, what is artificial intelligence, I
[00:13:35.440]
can do that or I can put two. And
[00:13:37.570]
then we always have here a spot
[00:13:39.808]
for students to include their source
[00:13:41.869]
because we want to make sure that they
[00:13:43.928]
understand how to cite the materials they're
[00:13:45.969]
pulling. Even though technically you walked
[00:13:48.288]
them to where they are, they still
[00:13:50.450]
need to know how to pull that source citation. So we always
[00:13:52.739]
include source here
[00:13:55.479]
and what's great is within all of our in context
[00:13:57.710]
resources. They can actually pull the citation
[00:13:59.989]
right off the platform
[00:14:01.500]
right up top here in our toolbar is our citation
[00:14:03.928]
feature
[00:14:06.349]
and they can choose their edition Elaap, a
[00:14:08.489]
Chicago or Harvard.
[00:14:10.239]
And then they can copy and paste it right here
[00:14:12.519]
into the source section.
[00:14:15.330]
Of course, if they are doing this written,
[00:14:17.538]
then they'll write down the source, but they'll still
[00:14:19.619]
have it here.
[00:14:22.879]
And as you walk through, I recommend filling
[00:14:25.029]
out an answer guide as well as
[00:14:27.379]
you walk through each question instead of kind of trying to do
[00:14:29.469]
the answer guide at the end.
[00:14:31.158]
you'll see at the end of our scavenger hunt
[00:14:33.320]
template here
[00:14:35.599]
is our answer guide
[00:14:37.109]
or our, um, answer sheet.
[00:14:38.950]
So you can put in your own answers and put in your own
[00:14:41.048]
source.
[00:14:42.029]
It's easier to do it as you walk through the questions
[00:14:44.359]
as opposed to trying to go back and do it at the very end.
[00:14:48.879]
So again, generally the first one I
[00:14:51.349]
I will say select the blue read more button
[00:14:53.428]
under the title. So that's
[00:14:55.308]
you jump back here
[00:14:57.239]
right here. That's going to open up that overview
[00:14:59.359]
for them. And that's almost always my
[00:15:01.440]
first stop for students that's giving them
[00:15:03.570]
the base of this topic
[00:15:05.548]
to kind of get them to understand what they're going to be learning
[00:15:07.710]
about from there.
[00:15:09.869]
It's really up to you what you want
[00:15:11.908]
students to click into.
[00:15:13.399]
And of course, these content buckets are going to vary
[00:15:15.678]
based on the topic you're looking at as
[00:15:17.859]
well as based on the resource
[00:15:20.029]
itself. So these viewpoints sections
[00:15:22.469]
you're not going to find in our other resources
[00:15:25.009]
because they're specific to Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:15:27.269]
and Gale In Context: Global Issues
[00:15:29.418]
[00:15:30.519]
So if you have your students within Gale In Context: High School
[00:15:32.989]
let's say you
[00:15:35.229]
won't see these viewpoints, but you'll see reference articles.
[00:15:37.649]
So you may start them on a reference article,
[00:15:40.190]
but it's really up to you. So I recommend
[00:15:42.219]
kind of scrolling down,
[00:15:44.190]
you can click directly into the content bucket here
[00:15:46.460]
to see all of the different resources.
[00:15:51.389]
Just click one you think is interesting, ask
[00:15:53.570]
your question
[00:15:54.619]
and you'll pop it in here.
[00:15:57.168]
You'll see right here. It's telling you to enter
[00:15:59.200]
directions for students to find materials.
[00:16:02.070]
So generally, what we like to do is
[00:16:04.440]
we jump back to our main
[00:16:06.580]
topic page here.
[00:16:08.250]
It will tell them, click into the viewpoints
[00:16:10.519]
content bucket,
[00:16:13.808]
click into the article titled
[00:16:16.700]
um Employers must develop Smart A I policies
[00:16:19.389]
to avoid workplace discrimination. So
[00:16:21.609]
you are guiding students directly to the article,
[00:16:24.109]
you're making sure they're getting the content that you
[00:16:26.129]
want them to have. But again,
[00:16:28.149]
they're still clicking on their own. So they're still getting that
[00:16:30.219]
kind of feeling of being able to do it themselves.
[00:16:33.109]
If you have more advanced students,
[00:16:35.340]
you may want to start using filtering options
[00:16:37.690]
here. So you may say, you know, click
[00:16:39.710]
into the viewpoints content bucket limit
[00:16:42.288]
down to
[00:16:43.609]
um we'll say a publication limit down to
[00:16:46.969]
robotic technology publication and
[00:16:49.418]
click into this article. So it's giving them like another
[00:16:51.798]
step of having to discover this piece
[00:16:53.899]
of content.
[00:16:55.048]
But again, of course, that's going to be free of more
[00:16:57.210]
advanced learners who understand how filters
[00:16:59.450]
work and who can kind of do those extra
[00:17:01.500]
clicks.
[00:17:03.700]
Another great way to use this is to have
[00:17:05.759]
students decide what piece of content
[00:17:07.890]
they want to read. So if I go back here again
[00:17:09.969]
to just the main topic page,
[00:17:12.847]
let's scroll down here. Let's say I want them
[00:17:15.077]
to look at an infographic.
[00:17:17.358]
These are interactive statistics. They can
[00:17:19.468]
kind of hover over to get information from.
[00:17:21.917]
So let's say I want them to interpret one, but I don't
[00:17:24.067]
want to tell them which one. I'll just
[00:17:26.178]
give my directions. Click into the infographics
[00:17:28.858]
content bucket,
[00:17:30.689]
choose an infographic and describe
[00:17:32.959]
it to me or give me your opinion on it, whatever
[00:17:35.019]
you want it to be.
[00:17:36.348]
And then again, since they have to include
[00:17:38.410]
their source on the scavenger hunt,
[00:17:40.640]
you're going to be able to easily click in to see
[00:17:42.949]
what's infographic. They
[00:17:45.000]
actually chose to make sure they, you know,
[00:17:47.059]
they actually choose an infographic to take a look
[00:17:49.088]
at. So there's another great way to do that.
[00:17:51.098]
If you want students to have a little bit more autonomy,
[00:17:53.729]
you can direct them to a specific
[00:17:55.789]
content type, but then have them choose
[00:17:57.848]
their own
[00:17:58.959]
entry within that kind of spectrum.
[00:18:03.729]
And again, our content buckets scroll
[00:18:06.068]
back up here.
[00:18:07.650]
also includes separate spots
[00:18:09.779]
for images and videos which are
[00:18:11.858]
really great if you want students to,
[00:18:14.039]
you know, interpret an image on their own.
[00:18:16.420]
Maybe it's a political cartoon, maybe
[00:18:18.559]
it's a, a
[00:18:19.630]
scientific diagram or something
[00:18:21.920]
like that. They'll find those in the images
[00:18:24.279]
section here as well.
[00:18:26.289]
And if you were looking at maybe a social studies
[00:18:28.640]
topic, maybe a history topic. And
[00:18:30.670]
you wanted students to take a look at a primary
[00:18:32.779]
source, primary sources have their
[00:18:34.858]
own content buckets as well. We don't have any
[00:18:37.199]
currently attached to artificial intelligence,
[00:18:39.769]
which is make a little sense. You
[00:18:41.795]
know, artificial intelligence is a newer topic.
[00:18:44.594]
But if you were to look at something more historical
[00:18:47.125]
or something that just has a longer history in general,
[00:18:49.795]
primary sources may pop up here
[00:18:52.005]
as a content bucket
[00:18:54.404]
as well. So you can have your students click in and
[00:18:56.723]
find a primary source to kind of click
[00:18:58.904]
through with a scavenger hunt as well.
[00:19:04.088]
And our template has room for
[00:19:06.150]
five questions.
[00:19:07.750]
Of course, you're going to dictate how
[00:19:09.910]
many questions there need to be. if
[00:19:11.930]
you want there to be, you know, 10 steps, if you want this
[00:19:13.969]
to be kind of a longer scavenger hunt that's really
[00:19:16.118]
comprehensive and covering a lot of information.
[00:19:18.598]
You can certainly do that. but we default
[00:19:20.910]
to the five. So it's generally
[00:19:23.068]
going to be a little bit shorter. You'll see if I add multiple
[00:19:25.439]
questions to each of these sections.
[00:19:27.828]
you can bulk it up that way as well,
[00:19:30.608]
but we start with five and kind of go from there.
[00:19:32.930]
So if you are using
[00:19:34.949]
the template, that's where we're going to start off.
[00:19:40.630]
Now, are there any questions about scavenger
[00:19:43.000]
hunt development about, topic
[00:19:45.239]
pages, how they work things like
[00:19:47.299]
that? Ok.
[00:19:52.108]
I don't see any. So I, we have about 10 minutes.
[00:19:55.910]
Oh, we have a question.do you use topic
[00:19:58.140]
finder with this? Amy? You certainly
[00:20:00.368]
can. topic finder is
[00:20:02.549]
not going to necessarily
[00:20:04.559]
pull students to a topic page
[00:20:06.618]
immediately.
[00:20:07.949]
so if you are using topic finder,
[00:20:10.088]
I would just warn you that it
[00:20:13.420]
may require a little more research skills for students
[00:20:15.729]
to find the content they need
[00:20:17.769]
as opposed to starting right on topic page landing point.
[00:20:20.098]
But, um, yes, if you're having your students
[00:20:22.410]
use topic finder more frequently than you
[00:20:24.439]
are them clicking into topic pages and
[00:20:26.479]
things like that.
[00:20:27.420]
you can certainly do it that way. Yeah. You
[00:20:29.568]
know, instruct your students to run a
[00:20:31.578]
topic finder search on a specific topic,
[00:20:34.219]
and maybe have them navigate through the different
[00:20:36.368]
tiles to a specific spot.
[00:20:42.630]
We have another question here, how you created
[00:20:44.939]
this. So
[00:20:50.098]
the question is, have we created any scavenger
[00:20:52.318]
hunts where the students are?
[00:20:54.368]
The students need to find a resource instead of
[00:20:56.459]
directing them there.
[00:20:57.989]
Um, on our support side
[00:21:00.049]
are premade scavenger hunts. We don't have
[00:21:02.180]
a lot that are kind of student led.
[00:21:04.289]
Like you're, um, suggesting,
[00:21:06.729]
a lot of ours just since they're
[00:21:08.939]
pretty broad and we're kind of
[00:21:11.088]
handing them out nationally are a lot more,
[00:21:13.318]
kind of teacher directed as opposed to
[00:21:15.328]
student directed. But,
[00:21:16.750]
um, that's definitely something you can do if you want this
[00:21:19.059]
to be kind of student led and maybe you
[00:21:21.130]
want them to develop their own scavenger hunt or
[00:21:23.189]
something like that.
[00:21:24.209]
We don't have one premade, but that's definitely
[00:21:26.608]
something you can do even if you want to start out with
[00:21:28.660]
our template and just kind of edit it for your students.
[00:21:34.059]
Ok. So I'm going to close out of my template
[00:21:36.108]
here,
[00:21:37.660]
bring this up full screen and
[00:21:40.078]
bump this back up. There we go because I
[00:21:42.088]
do want to show you where you can find
[00:21:44.098]
our premade scavenger hunts. So if
[00:21:46.189]
you don't really want to make your own just yet, you want to see
[00:21:48.289]
what we have available. They're all listening on our support
[00:21:50.709]
site, which is just support.gale.com.
[00:21:56.358]
Hm.
[00:21:58.578]
And once you are clicked into the support
[00:22:00.598]
site here, you have the option to
[00:22:02.660]
enter your location ID right here on
[00:22:04.729]
this, at the right side of the page,
[00:22:06.828]
it's not required. But if you know your location
[00:22:09.029]
ID and you put it in, we're actually going to
[00:22:11.140]
filter out the content you see to just include
[00:22:13.539]
the products that you have available. So
[00:22:15.568]
right now, if you only have two or three in context,
[00:22:17.979]
resources, you probably don't want to see scavenger
[00:22:20.299]
hunts for the rest of them. A way
[00:22:22.519]
to avoid that is to enter in your location ID
[00:22:24.739]
here, you can use the find your location if
[00:22:26.799]
you don't know it.
[00:22:27.719]
but again, it's not required if you just want to see
[00:22:29.789]
every scavenger hunt we have available. You
[00:22:31.868]
can certainly do that. how you're gonna do that
[00:22:33.969]
is go up to the training center and the toolbar
[00:22:36.108]
of top here
[00:22:38.189]
and you can find it two different ways. You can browse
[00:22:40.239]
by the type or you can browse by
[00:22:42.309]
product. So if you know, you're going to be using,
[00:22:44.509]
let's say gal and context environmental studies,
[00:22:47.049]
and you just want to find information just
[00:22:49.170]
for that, go on by product if you're
[00:22:51.199]
not so sure, and you want to see everything we
[00:22:53.279]
have go on by type. So
[00:22:55.289]
I'm going to go on by type.
[00:22:59.469]
And all of our scavenger hunts are listed
[00:23:01.479]
under activities here. So it's the first
[00:23:03.618]
one on top
[00:23:05.489]
and I warn you, we have a lot of activities
[00:23:07.769]
built out within our support site
[00:23:09.890]
as you can see here and not all of them are scavenger
[00:23:12.279]
hunts. We have quite a few different activity types we've
[00:23:14.348]
built out. But if you're looking for a scavenger
[00:23:16.608]
hunt, what I suggest is under this
[00:23:18.739]
search, just search scavenger
[00:23:20.930]
or, you know, start typing scavenger and
[00:23:23.309]
it's just going to show you just the scavenger hunt
[00:23:25.420]
here. What's really nice is
[00:23:27.559]
when you click through this here, you'll see what the topic
[00:23:29.949]
is. So we say this one's about advertising
[00:23:32.459]
and you're also going to see the resource that we use.
[00:23:34.900]
So for this one, we're using Gale and context opposing
[00:23:37.259]
viewpoints.
[00:23:39.309]
Now if you're looking through this and you really want
[00:23:41.410]
to use an advertising scavenger hunt, but you
[00:23:43.430]
don't have access to scale and context opposing viewpoints.
[00:23:46.250]
Click into this. Anyways, take a look
[00:23:48.410]
at what we did. You may be able to use a
[00:23:50.430]
different resource. You'll have to edit the questions,
[00:23:52.578]
of course, to, um,
[00:23:54.680]
to relate to content found within that different resource.
[00:23:57.479]
But it still may be a good starting point for you even
[00:23:59.640]
if you don't have access to the resources utilizing.
[00:24:02.059]
So if you see the topic, I suggest
[00:24:04.568]
clicking in and you can edit for
[00:24:06.680]
whatever resource you do have access to.
[00:24:10.469]
But you see we have quite a few here scrolling
[00:24:12.930]
down. This is also where you're going to find
[00:24:15.068]
our scavenger hunt template. Again,
[00:24:17.539]
links in the chat if you just want to have the link,
[00:24:19.719]
but you will find it listed here
[00:24:21.858]
on the activities section
[00:24:24.019]
as well.
[00:24:25.509]
You see we try to make at least
[00:24:27.529]
one for all of our resource, excuse
[00:24:29.949]
me for all of our resources. So
[00:24:32.059]
gel and context middle school, we have
[00:24:34.088]
some for gal in context, elementary high school,
[00:24:37.509]
the histories, the sciences.
[00:24:39.848]
We're trying to include scavenger
[00:24:42.338]
hunts for all of our resources here.
[00:24:45.848]
And if you do find one, you like, you just click into
[00:24:47.880]
it, you'll
[00:24:50.368]
see it listed here. So it's premade
[00:24:52.390]
for you
[00:24:55.250]
and you can download it or you can print it, have
[00:24:57.279]
it ready to go
[00:24:58.578]
and each of our scavenger hunts do
[00:25:00.588]
include answer sheets. So you won't need to build out
[00:25:02.660]
your own answer sheet. We already include those for
[00:25:04.709]
you. so just make sure when you're handing
[00:25:06.979]
these out, you don't accidentally,
[00:25:09.989]
hand out the answer sheets to your students.
[00:25:12.549]
That's the one thing to watch out for. I can say, as
[00:25:14.880]
a former teacher, I have been guilty of almost doing that
[00:25:17.160]
a few different times. So,
[00:25:18.769]
each of these do come with answer sheets at the very end.
[00:25:21.009]
So make sure you keep those answer sheets to yourself
[00:25:23.140]
and just hand the activity out to your students.
[00:25:26.539]
But again, to find this, we just go
[00:25:28.618]
under training center.
[00:25:30.150]
I decided to browse by type and I clicked
[00:25:32.410]
into activities to see the scavenger hunts
[00:25:35.130]
if I decided to go by product here,
[00:25:38.289]
let's find it in context
[00:25:40.309]
I didn't sign in. So you see, I have a lot going on.
[00:25:46.338]
So let's say I decided to go into Gale In Context: Middle School.
[00:25:49.108]
I chose school materials here. If
[00:25:51.130]
you were to sign in with your location ID, you won't
[00:25:53.209]
need to change this. It's going to recognize you
[00:25:55.250]
and change it for you.
[00:25:56.559]
Um, but I changed it here just because I'm not signed in
[00:25:59.588]
and all of our activities are going to be found towards
[00:26:01.828]
the bottom here in this fine lessons and
[00:26:03.838]
activities section.
[00:26:06.469]
Again, you'll find activities other than scavenger
[00:26:08.789]
hunts, you see we have for this an escape room, a tic
[00:26:10.979]
tac toe activity. but this is
[00:26:13.000]
where you'll find the scavenger hunts just for
[00:26:15.180]
Gill and context middle school.
[00:26:22.160]
Ok. We've got about three minutes. Let me jump back
[00:26:24.430]
just to give you some wrap up contact information.
[00:26:27.328]

[00:27:19.779]
[00:27:22.250]
and we'll forward you to the correct individual.
[00:27:25.229]
And then finally, I've included again here,
[00:27:27.239]

Ok? No, I haven't seen any questions come up.
[00:27:59.000]
So I'm going to go ahead and end our session again,
[00:28:01.259]
