Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.299]
Ok, welcome in again, everyone.
[00:00:07.530]
Today. We're talking about how you can develop scavenger
[00:00:09.989]
hunts with Gale In Context resources.
[00:00:12.500]
My name is Amber Winters and I'm a senior
[00:00:14.509]
training consultant here with Gale.
[00:00:17.940]
So our agenda today is pretty short,
[00:00:20.510]
nice and simple. First, we're just gonna
[00:00:22.670]
talk briefly why scavenger hunts.
[00:00:24.969]
So what they are, what
[00:00:26.978]
the value is in using scavenger hunts
[00:00:29.089]
in your class, then we'll talk about
[00:00:31.208]
the development process and we're actually going to
[00:00:33.240]
walk through. Um, I've chosen Gal in
[00:00:35.270]
context, opposing viewpoints today, but,
[00:00:37.389]
we're going to walk through one of the in context
[00:00:39.520]
resources. So you can see how the training
[00:00:41.728]
staff here, how we make scavenger hunts.
[00:00:44.209]
And we'll show you a template for it as well. So you can
[00:00:46.319]
really kind of understand how simple it is
[00:00:48.408]
to make these
[00:00:50.490]
after. If we do that, we're going to take a look at the
[00:00:52.548]
premade scavenger hunts we already have on our support
[00:00:55.020]
site. So if you don't have time to make yours
[00:00:57.139]
right now, we might have one on a topic that you're
[00:00:59.289]
interested in that you think your students would be interested in.
[00:01:01.700]
And you'll be able to download it and just use it for
[00:01:03.798]
free whenever you like.
[00:01:05.480]
And then at the very end of the session, I'll have
[00:01:07.599]
some wrap up information for you and
[00:01:09.799]
again, if I'm not able to answer all of the questions
[00:01:12.019]
that come in, the Q and A as they come in,
[00:01:14.239]
I'll answer all of them at the very end of the session.
[00:01:16.668]
So again, feel free to put them into the Q
[00:01:18.769]
and A when you think of them,
[00:01:20.388]
if it starts to get a little overwhelming
[00:01:22.599]
and we need to keep moving, we'll just wait until the end of
[00:01:24.609]
the session.
[00:01:25.680]
But just know your question will be answered no
[00:01:27.739]
matter when you put it in the Q and A.
[00:01:32.198]
So let's go ahead and just Ive written. So I just
[00:01:34.459]
want to start with the very basics. What are
[00:01:36.668]
scavenger hunts? So if any of you have not used
[00:01:38.909]
a scavenger hunt in your classroom yet, I just want you
[00:01:40.930]
to be aware of kind of what they are. So
[00:01:43.209]
these are guided activities that are really designed
[00:01:45.489]
to help your students,
[00:01:47.120]
explore a specific topic.
[00:01:49.349]
So the point of a scavenger hunt is for them to
[00:01:51.459]
really go step by step just like
[00:01:53.588]
they would with, you know, a treasure map. They need
[00:01:55.808]
to go to X place and they need to go to Y
[00:01:58.019]
then they need to go to Z.
[00:01:59.650]
we're helping them step by step. Find
[00:02:01.870]
the content related to whatever topic you're
[00:02:03.909]
learning about. So it's a much
[00:02:06.159]
more friendly approach approach
[00:02:08.169]
than a standard. You search for a
[00:02:10.179]
blank and tell me about it. It's
[00:02:12.199]
a really guided way to approach learning.
[00:02:16.028]
And each question within each scavenger
[00:02:18.349]
hunt, is kind of a new step,
[00:02:20.528]
a new piece of content they need to review.
[00:02:22.909]
So you'll see I have in my screenshot here.
[00:02:25.199]
Um,
[00:02:26.189]
in this first one, they're going to read an overview. The second
[00:02:28.479]
one is a reference article. The third
[00:02:30.538]
one is an audio file.
[00:02:33.419]
So we're really walking them through again, step
[00:02:35.788]
by step to different pieces of content.
[00:02:38.250]
So the goal of a scavenger hunt isn't
[00:02:40.389]
necessarily to have students on one
[00:02:43.080]
reference article and you ask them five questions.
[00:02:45.669]
The goal is more we're learning
[00:02:47.899]
about. In this case, we're learning about bees.
[00:02:50.149]
So we're learning about bees, let me guide
[00:02:52.360]
you to however many different pieces
[00:02:54.469]
of content. So you can really learn about
[00:02:56.508]
bees on your own in some different ways.
[00:03:00.038]
One of the main goals of these scavenger hunts is
[00:03:02.149]
to help your students engage with different content
[00:03:04.409]
types. What's nice about gale is we
[00:03:06.588]
have, you know, not only kind of the reference articles
[00:03:08.800]
you would expect to see, but we also
[00:03:10.899]
have a lot of multimedia. We have primary
[00:03:12.990]
sources. If you're learning about some sort of historical
[00:03:15.808]
topic, we have infographics
[00:03:18.629]
and statistics and experimental activities
[00:03:21.169]
that we're talking about science classrooms. So
[00:03:23.349]
these scavenger hunts, we really want students
[00:03:25.429]
to take a look at all of those different things.
[00:03:27.469]
We want them to really learn,
[00:03:29.300]
however, works best for them. So we want to make
[00:03:31.330]
sure we're hitting all different types of content
[00:03:33.500]
for all different types of learners.
[00:03:37.538]
Now, when we're specifically talking about scavenger
[00:03:39.889]
hunts using gale and context, really,
[00:03:42.379]
the key thing that makes scavenger hunt developments
[00:03:45.008]
a lot easier and a lot easier for your students
[00:03:47.050]
to use is going to be our topic
[00:03:49.288]
page organization
[00:03:50.949]
and this is found in all of our in context resources.
[00:03:53.669]
So again today, when we do a walk through,
[00:03:55.969]
I'm going to use gale and context opposing viewpoints,
[00:03:58.469]
but it'll be the same within
[00:04:00.758]
the core in context. So Gale In Context
[00:04:02.770]
high school, middle school Elementary,
[00:04:05.149]
if you're using maybe Gale In Context: U.S. History
[00:04:07.439]
or science,
[00:04:08.868]
each of them have these topic pages,
[00:04:11.330]
completely organized for some of the top
[00:04:13.649]
search and top used terms within each
[00:04:15.899]
resource. So
[00:04:17.290]
we really might recommend using
[00:04:19.399]
these topic pages and guiding students through
[00:04:21.420]
this one kind of landing point
[00:04:24.350]
makes it a lot easier for them to find the different content
[00:04:26.769]
types. You'll see, I just have a quick screenshot, we're
[00:04:29.059]
gonna go in the resource live. So you can see these in action,
[00:04:31.540]
but you'll see it's really simple and organized
[00:04:33.879]
for them. They have an overview at the top, giving
[00:04:36.178]
them kind of the, the base knowledge
[00:04:38.309]
that they're going to need to move forward in their learning.
[00:04:41.079]
And then underneath that, we organize all the, the different
[00:04:43.329]
content types here.
[00:04:45.278]
So you'll see again, this is in G and context, opposing
[00:04:47.600]
viewpoints. So you'll see our viewpoints
[00:04:49.678]
articles, but you'll also see
[00:04:51.759]
audio files, news magazines,
[00:04:54.399]
statistics. So it's a nice clean
[00:04:56.600]
way for your students to find content
[00:04:58.829]
without having to, run their
[00:05:00.980]
own searches. You know, when they're working through a scavenger
[00:05:03.028]
hunt, they could have five questions, they have to work through,
[00:05:05.048]
they could have 10,
[00:05:06.250]
and having them run 10 different searches
[00:05:08.410]
is
[00:05:09.660]
a lot of work.
[00:05:11.850]
It's a lot of time. So these topic pages
[00:05:14.160]
are going to help them still feel like they're doing
[00:05:16.298]
their own research because they still have to click through
[00:05:18.410]
to find the content that they need.
[00:05:20.420]
But it's in a way that's a little bit more guided.
[00:05:26.980]
So let's talk about how you can get started with scavenger
[00:05:29.269]
hunts. So what I recommend is first
[00:05:31.399]
downloading our pre created template. This
[00:05:33.449]
template is made in powerpoint and it's completely
[00:05:35.858]
editable by you. Um I have the link
[00:05:38.048]
up here. I will put the link in our follow up
[00:05:40.108]
email as well. So don't worry about
[00:05:42.129]
trying to write down this link here. It'll
[00:05:44.230]
be in the follow up email, but we have this on our support
[00:05:46.579]
site and you'll be able to completely edit
[00:05:48.778]
it to add all of your information and
[00:05:50.910]
then you can just export it as a PDF once you're done.
[00:05:53.230]
So I recommend that as step one, if you
[00:05:55.338]
have your own scavenger hunt template ready to
[00:05:57.389]
go use that, that's completely
[00:05:59.660]
fine. But we do have one ready for
[00:06:01.738]
you on the support site that you'll just be able to kind of
[00:06:04.100]
plug and chug with your content
[00:06:07.949]
from there. You're going to want to make sure you choose
[00:06:10.178]
the correct in context resource.
[00:06:12.480]
I do want to mention a lot of you most likely
[00:06:14.769]
have more than one in context resource
[00:06:17.678]
at your learning community at your school. So just
[00:06:19.838]
make sure you know what you have available,
[00:06:22.259]
the core In Context resources which are
[00:06:24.269]
Gale In Context: elementary, middle and high
[00:06:26.298]
school are going to be kind of
[00:06:28.314]
the cross curricular catch all resources.
[00:06:31.053]
So those are a little bit more shallow but
[00:06:33.153]
have a more broad range of coverage.
[00:06:35.204]
While if you have things like Gale
[00:06:37.213]
In Context: World History or Opposing
[00:06:39.345]
viewpoints or science, those are going
[00:06:41.574]
to have a little bit more of a narrow look
[00:06:43.634]
because they're looking at one specific subject,
[00:06:46.225]
but they're going to be a lot deeper.
[00:06:48.970]
So just make sure you know what you have available
[00:06:51.040]
to you and make sure you choose the
[00:06:53.119]
best resource for your learners. Of
[00:06:55.220]
course, you know your learners better than anyone.
[00:06:57.649]
Gale In Context: Middle School is a great place
[00:06:59.899]
to send your middle school students, if they're
[00:07:01.949]
a little more advanced, they might be ready for
[00:07:04.000]
the subject focused resources like
[00:07:06.139]
gale and context us history. So
[00:07:08.709]
just be aware of what you have and make
[00:07:10.889]
sure you kind of make the best choice for your learners.
[00:07:15.949]
And finally, I always recommend again,
[00:07:17.959]
check for a topic page in your
[00:07:19.970]
resource. You don't have to use topic
[00:07:22.079]
pages to create scavenger hunts. If
[00:07:24.220]
you prefer to have your students search and just find
[00:07:26.420]
little pieces of content through searching,
[00:07:29.019]
that's completely fine. It's going to work the same way your
[00:07:31.079]
students are still going to get great information.
[00:07:33.399]
But again, these topic pages, these landing
[00:07:35.420]
points, we've really made them
[00:07:37.569]
to empower your students to still
[00:07:39.588]
feel like they're researching to still have to click
[00:07:41.778]
through content on their own. You're not pulling it for
[00:07:43.920]
them and you know, sending them links.
[00:07:46.108]
but it's just organized
[00:07:48.410]
and it's right here for them. They can just easily
[00:07:50.949]
point and click instead of having to develop their own
[00:07:53.009]
search terms. So
[00:07:54.488]
I always recommend checking for a topic page
[00:07:57.850]
and checking for a topic page does kind of
[00:08:00.209]
flow into choosing your in context
[00:08:02.329]
resource if you start off with, let's say Gale in context
[00:08:04.738]
high school, but you have a, a super
[00:08:06.889]
specific, let's say scientific topic
[00:08:09.048]
that you're wanting to build a scavenger hunt
[00:08:11.069]
on. If they don't have a topic page
[00:08:13.329]
in your in your core and context resource,
[00:08:15.790]
take a look at Gale and context science, we
[00:08:17.798]
might have it there instead.
[00:08:19.428]
So again,
[00:08:20.949]
be aware of what you have available to you. Check
[00:08:23.269]
for a topic page is always my suggestion.
[00:08:25.988]
And once you start doing this on your own, of
[00:08:28.059]
course, you're going to
[00:08:30.278]
build a better understanding of what works
[00:08:32.570]
for you.
[00:08:34.460]
Give me one second here. I got signed out of my resource.
[00:08:37.058]
There we go.
[00:08:38.570]
You'll find what works best for you. So these are
[00:08:40.609]
just kind of starting suggestions. But
[00:08:42.869]
what I'm gonna do now, we're actually going to go live
[00:08:45.080]
in the resource before I do, I haven't
[00:08:47.330]
seen any questions pop up in the Q and A,
[00:08:49.658]
but I do wanna make sure I get them answered.
[00:08:51.820]
So do we have any questions before we kind of dive
[00:08:54.158]
in live and see how this works?
[00:09:01.580]
Ok. I don't see any. So
[00:09:03.609]
we'll go ahead and keep rolling then. So what I first want to
[00:09:05.649]
show you is our scavenger hunt
[00:09:07.750]
template. So again, this is actually found on our support
[00:09:10.149]
site. I'll send you the link after our session is
[00:09:12.250]
done. But we've left it as
[00:09:14.590]
a powerpoint. So when you download it from our support
[00:09:16.639]
site, it's going to download just like this
[00:09:19.330]
anytime you see right here. So you'll see.
[00:09:21.599]
Enter your topic here, enter the resource name.
[00:09:24.048]
This is where you're going to have to put in your own information.
[00:09:27.668]
So we do recommend when you make a scavenger
[00:09:30.029]
hunt, leave it within one resource. So,
[00:09:32.619]
you know, your hunt is just through gal and
[00:09:34.678]
contexts, opposing viewpoints.
[00:09:36.250]
I wouldn't suggest having them bounce back and forth
[00:09:38.418]
between,
[00:09:39.308]
you know, opposing viewpoints in high school and us
[00:09:41.418]
history because that can get a little bit confusing for
[00:09:43.460]
them as they're trying to click through. So we
[00:09:45.500]
recommend just using one resource and sticking
[00:09:47.759]
to that for the entirety of your scavenger
[00:09:49.879]
hunt. Again, it's up to
[00:09:51.940]
you. If you are have really high level students,
[00:09:53.979]
maybe your 12th graders, you really want them digging
[00:09:56.229]
into everything you have available. Feel
[00:09:58.509]
free to edit this to use more than one resource. But
[00:10:00.538]
we do default to just using one resource
[00:10:03.000]
per scavenger hunt.
[00:10:05.710]
So you'll see, we give you the option
[00:10:07.979]
to enter that information here underneath, we
[00:10:10.009]
have our basic directions.
[00:10:12.090]
We organize the directions like
[00:10:14.200]
you're going to be using a topic page. If
[00:10:16.359]
you're not using a topic page, you'll need to edit this a
[00:10:18.379]
little bit. Um, I suggest
[00:10:20.908]
if your students aren't super comfortable with logging
[00:10:23.129]
into the resource, add your login information
[00:10:25.580]
up top here, you know, go to your
[00:10:27.739]
school and click into X or go
[00:10:29.859]
to the library website and click here.
[00:10:31.879]
If you were, they don't know their password, you can certainly
[00:10:34.119]
add the password here for your students as well.
[00:10:36.899]
But just edit this as needed
[00:10:39.298]
if your students are already you know, golden, they know
[00:10:41.340]
exactly how to get to you in context, resources.
[00:10:44.090]
You can skip those directions and use these basic
[00:10:46.139]
ones here
[00:10:48.099]
under the directions. That's where you're actually going
[00:10:50.200]
to find where you need to complete
[00:10:52.288]
the scavenger hunt steps here.
[00:10:55.259]
So the first line is always going to be the directions
[00:10:57.489]
to get to whatever piece of content you want
[00:10:59.548]
them to see. So if you found a really nice video
[00:11:02.469]
that you need your students to see on the topic page,
[00:11:04.889]
you'll give them the directions. First click into
[00:11:06.969]
the audio section, click into this
[00:11:09.090]
video and then where
[00:11:11.139]
this blue is, this is where you're going to ask your questions.
[00:11:14.009]
You could have one question here, you could have two, you could have
[00:11:16.070]
three whatever you wanna do, but that's where
[00:11:18.219]
you're going to have them answer the questions for
[00:11:20.308]
you. And on each
[00:11:22.509]
of these, we do include this a
[00:11:24.548]
spot for your students to put their source
[00:11:26.899]
as well. So even if you're directing them
[00:11:29.058]
to a piece of content, we want them to understand
[00:11:31.279]
how citations work. So we include
[00:11:33.450]
that here for them.
[00:11:36.200]
And I will mention the very end of this template.
[00:11:38.320]
We do have an answer
[00:11:40.529]
key here as well. One
[00:11:43.428]
hint for you or one tip,
[00:11:45.548]
make sure you fill out the answer key for yourself
[00:11:47.950]
as you're writing out the questions because
[00:11:50.408]
I'm not gonna lie. It's a pain to write out all of the questions
[00:11:52.820]
to find the content and then go back
[00:11:54.950]
to that content to actually get the answers. I
[00:11:57.158]
have to admit I've done that more than once. So
[00:11:59.408]
as you're making this scavenger hunt,
[00:12:01.489]
make sure you fill out the answer sheet for yourself as
[00:12:03.590]
well. And
[00:12:05.719]
then once you're done with this, we just recommend um
[00:12:08.418]
exporting it as a PDF.
[00:12:10.570]
So your students can fill it out online if you want them
[00:12:12.639]
to or you can print it out for your students.
[00:12:15.000]
You could also export it you know, like into
[00:12:17.229]
a word document or something like that if you want them
[00:12:19.658]
to type out, that's of course, completely
[00:12:21.889]
up to you as well. But probably
[00:12:23.979]
get it out of powerpoint. It's not great to keep it in
[00:12:26.009]
powerpoint. So again, we prefer PDF S for
[00:12:28.149]
this.
[00:12:30.558]
So let's get down to how this actually works.
[00:12:32.879]
Now again, I decided to just
[00:12:35.178]
use close that Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:12:37.200]
but this is going
[00:12:39.250]
to work the exact same for any of your in context.
[00:12:41.788]
Resources
[00:12:43.080]
gel and context elementary looks slightly different
[00:12:45.399]
just, you know, because we've made it for the little babies.
[00:12:47.769]
So it's a little bit easier to click through
[00:12:49.859]
and it clicks a little bit differently, but
[00:12:52.000]
it's still going to have those nice
[00:12:54.190]
topic pages for you.
[00:12:55.830]
So let's first talk about finding topic pages
[00:12:57.950]
and I'm just going to
[00:13:00.158]
make my screen just a little bit smaller. I know
[00:13:02.330]
it's small already since it's only half a screen.
[00:13:04.479]
But I wanna make sure we see everything on this page.
[00:13:07.340]
So,
[00:13:08.200]
once you sign into Gale in context,
[00:13:10.389]
whichever resource, you have a few
[00:13:12.519]
different ways to find a topic page. So if you do decide
[00:13:14.700]
you want to use a topic page and organize
[00:13:16.899]
yourself that way
[00:13:18.320]
you can either start on the home page here.
[00:13:20.369]
You can look at issues of interest. Can
[00:13:22.389]
I see what's going on this month? These change monthly,
[00:13:26.229]
scrolling down, you can also browse different
[00:13:28.519]
issues here. Each of these issues are topic
[00:13:30.678]
pages. So you'll see we do right now
[00:13:32.779]
have 486 issues
[00:13:35.279]
or topic pages created within the resource.
[00:13:38.058]
So this browse feature is nice if
[00:13:40.080]
you don't know exactly what topic you want to use,
[00:13:42.460]
maybe, you know that it's should be in the
[00:13:44.500]
field of health and medicine or maybe it's,
[00:13:46.609]
you know, you want something related to using
[00:13:48.869]
energy or something like that.
[00:13:51.259]
You can start to just browse here. Maybe
[00:13:53.408]
science and tech. If I click into that
[00:13:56.798]
and you'll see these topic pages, there
[00:13:58.879]
are gonna be a lot of topic pages to browse through
[00:14:00.918]
though. That's my one warning for you.
[00:14:02.928]
So if you don't know exactly what you're looking
[00:14:04.969]
for, just be aware, there's a lot to browse through. So
[00:14:07.250]
it might take a little bit of time.
[00:14:10.200]
But you can also find topic pages. Now, I just
[00:14:12.298]
jump back to the home here, by running
[00:14:14.619]
a search. So I'm actually going to search for affordable
[00:14:17.058]
housing because I think that's something that we hear
[00:14:19.308]
in the news a lot.
[00:14:21.918]
Now, when I start typing in here, you'll see,
[00:14:24.109]
I have these predictive text options
[00:14:26.379]
and it's going to show me the top three here
[00:14:28.750]
already have topic pages or you'll see
[00:14:30.879]
they're called topic guides here.
[00:14:32.548]
I already have them created for me.
[00:14:35.000]
So as you type in your topic
[00:14:37.269]
here, if you see one of these options with
[00:14:39.308]
the little images next to it, you'll know that's got
[00:14:41.548]
that nice organized page. We do have
[00:14:43.649]
additional predictive text here. Any
[00:14:46.048]
of these are just going to pull forward a search results
[00:14:48.099]
page as opposed to a topic page,
[00:14:51.369]
which is fine if you prefer to use that,
[00:14:53.469]
use the resource that way. But again,
[00:14:55.509]
I am really partial to these topic pages.
[00:14:57.869]
So, let's click into affordable
[00:15:00.190]
housing here.
[00:15:04.340]
There we go.
[00:15:05.168]
Now here we are on our nice clean
[00:15:07.369]
organized topic page. So at the very
[00:15:09.580]
top is going to be our overview. And
[00:15:11.788]
for me, a best practice question
[00:15:13.918]
number one on my scavenger hunt, you'll see as always
[00:15:16.469]
select the blue read more button under the title,
[00:15:19.629]
you'll see my blue read more button here.
[00:15:23.558]
So I have them click into this. They're going to pull
[00:15:25.639]
forward the full scavenger hunt. So I'm going
[00:15:27.779]
to ask them to or sorry, the full scavenger hunt,
[00:15:29.950]
the full overview. So I'm going to ask
[00:15:32.109]
them to read this overview to get the background
[00:15:34.168]
knowledge.
[00:15:35.769]
And then I'm going to think of some questions off of this.
[00:15:38.019]
Again, it could be one question. It could be a couple
[00:15:40.219]
of questions.
[00:15:41.178]
You'll see. This actually has critical thinking questions
[00:15:43.460]
already made in here. So if you
[00:15:45.479]
actually like these questions and want to use them in your scavenger
[00:15:47.779]
hunt, you can just copy and paste these right directly into
[00:15:49.820]
your hunt. But of course, you don't have to
[00:15:51.840]
use these. If you have your own questions that you want to ask.
[00:15:54.639]
And question number one, you'll ask
[00:15:57.119]
your question, ask your question and then you'll have
[00:15:59.168]
them include their source.
[00:16:02.019]
And I will mention here that we do have a citation
[00:16:04.149]
tool that's going to let them make
[00:16:06.178]
the citations right here on the platform. They don't
[00:16:08.269]
need to develop them on their own.
[00:16:10.109]
If they use our cite button at the very top
[00:16:12.149]
of the page here in our toolbar,
[00:16:14.548]
it already pops it up for them. You'll see they can use
[00:16:16.619]
Mlaap, a Chicago or Harvard
[00:16:18.629]
versions. They can select copy
[00:16:20.750]
and paste it right to the source section
[00:16:22.759]
here
[00:16:23.649]
and they're ready, they're ready to go. They don't need you to do
[00:16:25.798]
anything else. It's a really nice feature to have
[00:16:28.460]
to make sure your students are kind of continuing
[00:16:30.950]
to move their learning forward.
[00:16:36.308]
Now, I'm going to jump back to the main topic
[00:16:38.399]
page here by using my little breadcrumb trail
[00:16:40.489]
at the top.
[00:16:42.320]
And sorry, if my screen just went black for a second,
[00:16:44.479]
everyone, it's been cutting out. I don't know if
[00:16:46.500]
it's just for me or if it's for you guys too, but
[00:16:48.558]
it just went black. Hopefully it stopped.
[00:16:51.509]
Um, so we're back here on the main
[00:16:53.580]
topic page now, moving forward
[00:16:56.408]
in the scavenger hunt, this is really when it
[00:16:58.418]
gets super loose and it's whatever you want to do.
[00:17:01.090]
What I like to do is scroll down,
[00:17:03.798]
take a look at these different content types and
[00:17:06.199]
I actually like to go and order. So I might start
[00:17:08.709]
by clicking into my viewpoint section
[00:17:11.549]
and I'm going to find a viewpoint that I really like.
[00:17:14.180]
Let's say this one to solve homelessness, California
[00:17:16.489]
must address overlapping crises.
[00:17:20.250]
If I could say that word, that'd be great, right?
[00:17:22.459]
So I'm going to have my students
[00:17:24.900]
click and read this. So my directions
[00:17:27.140]
here are going to be click into the viewpoints
[00:17:29.719]
content bucket, which is right here
[00:17:32.670]
and select the to solve homelessness
[00:17:36.019]
document.
[00:17:39.049]
If you have more advanced students,
[00:17:41.088]
you may want to have them actually filter as well
[00:17:43.209]
in your your direction. So maybe it's click
[00:17:45.719]
into the viewpoint section, filter
[00:17:47.969]
your results based on subjects,
[00:17:50.559]
you know, only choose housing policy
[00:17:54.180]
and then choose X article.
[00:17:57.118]
So you can really kind of ramp up
[00:17:59.130]
the difficulty or keep it at a lower level
[00:18:01.630]
if you do want them to start filtering,
[00:18:03.729]
have, have them filter, have that be another
[00:18:05.910]
step in your directions to find a piece of content.
[00:18:09.338]
Um,
[00:18:10.250]
I like to tell them always to jump back to
[00:18:12.289]
the topic page after they finish a step
[00:18:14.299]
in the scavenger hunt as well. So once
[00:18:16.358]
they do this and they answer your questions for number two,
[00:18:19.000]
go back to the main topic page
[00:18:21.209]
by clicking affordable housing up here.
[00:18:24.279]
And this may be something you wanna briefly
[00:18:26.309]
go over with them before they start their scavenger
[00:18:28.769]
hunt. You know, this is the topic page. These
[00:18:30.969]
are the content buckets. This is how you get back
[00:18:33.068]
to the topic page just so they're aware,
[00:18:35.108]
but you can also include them in the directions,
[00:18:38.578]
but then I'll go down again. And now let's say, OK,
[00:18:41.009]
I took a look at a viewpoint. Now I want the students
[00:18:43.449]
to look at an infographic
[00:18:45.670]
which is actually an inter interactive statistic
[00:18:48.130]
will they'll be able to hover over the charts
[00:18:50.400]
and the graphs, whatever they're looking at,
[00:18:52.660]
to understand what's
[00:18:54.699]
going on here.
[00:18:56.759]
And what's nice is I could also, let's say I click into
[00:18:58.809]
infographics
[00:18:59.959]
and instead of guiding them to one
[00:19:02.140]
specific infographic, I could say,
[00:19:04.380]
choose one of these infographics, tell
[00:19:06.689]
me about it, tell me your opinion.
[00:19:08.769]
What are your thoughts on the results?
[00:19:10.818]
So I don't just have to forward them
[00:19:12.890]
to specific bits of content. I can forward them
[00:19:14.949]
just to a content type
[00:19:16.699]
and then have them be able to make the choice
[00:19:18.949]
in what piece of content looks the most interesting
[00:19:21.068]
to them. So again, trying
[00:19:23.180]
to get choice in the classroom, trying to
[00:19:25.199]
have students feel empowered
[00:19:27.250]
like they are actually finding their own content.
[00:19:29.759]
Even though you're directing them, we want them to still
[00:19:31.779]
feel like they're capable researchers
[00:19:34.118]
who are able to do this on their own.
[00:19:37.029]
So I might tell them to go
[00:19:39.039]
in, find your own statistic. And
[00:19:41.180]
again, since we have them put their source in here,
[00:19:43.420]
it'll be easy if you want to take a look at what
[00:19:45.640]
statistic they chose because the source
[00:19:47.890]
is already listed for you.
[00:19:53.719]
Here we go and we'll jump back to the topic page here.
[00:19:55.979]
And again, we'll just scroll down,
[00:19:57.588]
you can do this in order you can not do
[00:19:59.729]
it in order if you don't want to do in order, you'll
[00:20:01.759]
see we have primary sources. So if instead
[00:20:03.838]
of doing something like um
[00:20:06.608]
affordable housing, if you may be doing
[00:20:08.699]
a scavenger hunt on the civil war, you
[00:20:10.750]
might want students to find a primary source.
[00:20:13.019]
That's interesting to them. They'll be able to do that
[00:20:16.068]
scrolling down. I do always like to have
[00:20:18.318]
at least one multimedia question.
[00:20:20.779]
So it might be a question about an
[00:20:22.858]
interesting video or sorry, an
[00:20:24.880]
interesting image or a video that
[00:20:27.049]
I like on here that I want students to take a look at maybe
[00:20:29.229]
a podcast under my audio file section.
[00:20:31.729]
So I do like to mix it up. I don't want it to just be,
[00:20:34.059]
you know, five questions about five different
[00:20:36.660]
articles. I want them to watch a video,
[00:20:38.729]
I want them to listen to a podcast.
[00:20:40.660]
So I'll make one of those, you know, questions,
[00:20:43.289]
three or four, something like that.
[00:20:47.439]
And of course, the content types are going to vary based
[00:20:49.588]
on what resource you're using as well as the
[00:20:51.699]
topic. Sometimes you might see biographies.
[00:20:53.739]
So you can have students learn about a person related to your
[00:20:55.769]
topic.
[00:20:56.789]
Um You see primary sources, you'll see academic
[00:20:58.828]
journals and like gal in context opposing
[00:21:00.900]
viewpoints. So again, if you have those
[00:21:02.989]
really high level learners, your 12th graders,
[00:21:05.338]
you may want them to read an academic journal
[00:21:07.818]
and again, you can direct them to read a specific
[00:21:09.939]
one or you can have them choose one
[00:21:11.959]
they think is, you know, manageable for them to
[00:21:13.989]
read. Again,
[00:21:18.719]
you'll fill this out once it's done, we
[00:21:20.838]
recommend, exporting it as
[00:21:22.880]
a PDF but whatever, whatever
[00:21:25.098]
format works best for you and for your students,
[00:21:27.838]
that's what we want you to do.
[00:21:33.180]
Now, I do want to show you where you can find our premade
[00:21:35.809]
scavenger hunts before we end the session today and we've
[00:21:37.920]
only got about seven minutes. So
[00:21:40.019]
before I do that, does anyone have any questions
[00:21:42.180]
about clicking through the resource,
[00:21:44.368]
finding a topic, page, writing
[00:21:46.630]
directions for students to find pieces of
[00:21:48.729]
content, anything like that at all.
[00:21:54.750]
Ok. We've got a quiet group today.
[00:21:56.979]
That's not a problem. So
[00:21:59.199]
our premade scavenger hunts as well as our scavenger
[00:22:01.680]
hunt template.
[00:22:03.328]
Oh, we have a do have a question here. So for
[00:22:05.338]
high school students, about how much time would
[00:22:07.459]
you allow for the lesson?
[00:22:09.160]
So, Lisa, it's really going to depend
[00:22:11.219]
on how long you make the scavenger hunt. You'll
[00:22:13.289]
see. We default to having five questions.
[00:22:16.789]
I would say five questions. If you have
[00:22:18.989]
different sections for each question, I would give
[00:22:21.108]
them the class time to do
[00:22:23.140]
it. I would give them the whole class. So I'll make this
[00:22:25.390]
a day for whatever your students are doing.
[00:22:28.039]
Um If it's, you know, quick five questions,
[00:22:30.400]
but they're,
[00:22:31.410]
you know, quick questions, just one question per
[00:22:33.430]
step. And maybe something just
[00:22:35.459]
to do to finish off a lesson.
[00:22:38.029]
Realistically, you could maybe even do two questions
[00:22:40.459]
and have it be a bell ringer if you really wanted to make
[00:22:42.519]
it short.
[00:22:43.459]
So it just depends on the content. You're having students
[00:22:45.680]
sift through, you know, if it's more advanced content
[00:22:48.140]
or if it's a lot of clicks and a lot of filtering,
[00:22:50.719]
it's gonna take longer. But if you try to
[00:22:52.750]
make it a little more basic, you know, click through
[00:22:54.858]
these five things, read a little bit and answer,
[00:22:57.180]
then you may not need a full class period. So
[00:22:59.559]
it's really going to just depend on
[00:23:01.789]
what sort of content you're looking at.
[00:23:09.299]
And I did forget to throw this out there. I always forget
[00:23:11.430]
to mention this, but this is a great sub plan.
[00:23:13.930]
So once your students are comfortable within your
[00:23:16.049]
in context, resources,
[00:23:17.930]
it's nice to have some of these on hand just with a
[00:23:19.939]
bunch of different topics, you know, what related
[00:23:22.009]
to whatever unit you're working on. So
[00:23:24.250]
if you have to be out, you don't have to make something
[00:23:26.269]
you can just, you know, here you go,
[00:23:28.549]
work through the scavenger hunt. We've done them before.
[00:23:30.930]
So, you know, the steps, find the content, answer the
[00:23:32.959]
question. So I like to throw that out there. It is
[00:23:35.088]
a nice sub plan.
[00:23:38.328]
So all of our scavenge hunts that are premade
[00:23:40.459]
as well as our template is found on our support
[00:23:42.729]
site, which is just support
[00:23:45.019]
that gale.com and I will repeat that
[00:23:47.250]
at the end of this session.
[00:23:48.739]
let's just make this full screen now.
[00:23:52.459]
So once you're on support at.com,
[00:23:54.779]
you're going to go to our training center which
[00:23:56.959]
is listed up top here in this toolbar
[00:23:59.269]
and you can either browse by type
[00:24:01.739]
or by product. So if you're looking maybe
[00:24:03.900]
for just for scavenger hunts for gale in context
[00:24:06.088]
high school, I recommend browsing
[00:24:08.098]
by product and find a gal in context high school.
[00:24:10.789]
If you want to see all of the scavenger
[00:24:13.400]
hunts we have available. I would suggest
[00:24:15.699]
going to browse by type. So we're going to do
[00:24:17.709]
that today.
[00:24:20.989]
Now, you see, we have quite a few different types here.
[00:24:24.559]
But what we want is activities. That's
[00:24:26.670]
where we house all of our scavenger hunts as well as
[00:24:28.680]
the other, um,
[00:24:31.390]
activity types that we have are other,
[00:24:33.539]
classroom resources. So let's click
[00:24:35.640]
into activities
[00:24:39.130]
now to narrow it down just to scavenger hunts. I'm
[00:24:41.279]
actually going to go to this product search and
[00:24:43.338]
I'm just gonna start typing in scavenger hunt.
[00:24:48.670]
And now you see, this is all of our premade
[00:24:50.759]
scavenger hunts
[00:24:53.088]
as well as the scavenger hunt template, which is
[00:24:55.150]
listed right here.
[00:24:57.009]
These are ready to go for you and they're free. I always
[00:24:59.098]
like to mention you can download these as many times
[00:25:01.289]
as you want whenever you want for as many of the
[00:25:03.358]
resources. They're always here available
[00:25:05.719]
for you,
[00:25:07.150]
excuse me.
[00:25:08.910]
But you'll notice here in the title we tried to include
[00:25:11.170]
the topic. So this one is about advertising
[00:25:14.019]
and then we include the resource. So this one's gall in context,
[00:25:16.608]
opposing viewpoints.
[00:25:18.019]
You'll see. We have one for science, high school environmental
[00:25:20.299]
studies. I believe we have at least
[00:25:22.358]
one scavenger hunt for every in context
[00:25:24.699]
resource. It, every in context resource,
[00:25:26.969]
but I have more than one like you'll see just
[00:25:29.000]
right here. High school, I have 12,
[00:25:32.180]
three Lissa, just right
[00:25:34.209]
here where you can see. So a lot of our resources
[00:25:36.368]
have more than one scavenger hunt.
[00:25:38.430]
Um But they have at least one
[00:25:42.699]
so you can click into any of these. So
[00:25:44.838]
let's say alternative and renewable energy.
[00:25:47.578]
When they're pre created for you on the support
[00:25:49.699]
site, they are in PDF formats. Feel
[00:25:52.229]
free to download and change that
[00:25:54.009]
on your desktop, however you wanna do it,
[00:25:55.989]
they're free for you to edit however you
[00:25:58.039]
want to. But they are listed as PDF S when
[00:26:00.078]
they're on the support site,
[00:26:01.559]
but they are premade for you.
[00:26:03.250]
And we do include the answers here as well.
[00:26:05.549]
So be careful if you're sharing this file out with
[00:26:07.568]
your students, make sure you detach
[00:26:09.868]
the answer key before you send it to them because
[00:26:11.979]
this is gonna, you know,
[00:26:13.729]
this will definitely make it. So it doesn't take a full class
[00:26:15.868]
period if you hand them out the answers. So
[00:26:17.989]
just be warned, we do include the answers
[00:26:20.029]
attached to each of these scavenger hunts. So you wanna
[00:26:22.108]
make sure you get that second page or
[00:26:24.279]
maybe the third page depending how long this is,
[00:26:26.449]
off of the file before you send it out to them.
[00:26:33.660]
Yeah, but you can go through, click
[00:26:35.848]
on any of them, download them whatever you want to do.
[00:26:37.868]
They are again here on the support site and
[00:26:40.150]
I will put in a our follow up email, all
[00:26:42.338]
of the links. You're going to need to the template
[00:26:44.358]
to the support site. So you'll be able
[00:26:46.368]
to find this information once we're done today.
[00:26:48.410]
Don't worry if you forget, I know it's almost a holiday
[00:26:50.549]
break
[00:26:51.469]
and probably 95% of
[00:26:53.479]
this will be forgotten by the time we all get back, which is
[00:26:55.549]
totally fine and expected. So
[00:26:57.809]
just hold on to the email and you'll have
[00:26:59.818]
links to everything you need if you are planning
[00:27:02.009]
on developing your own scavenger hunts with your
[00:27:04.088]
gal and context resources.
[00:27:08.160]
Now let me jump back here to my slides
[00:27:12.368]
because I do have some wrap up information for you.
[00:27:14.519]
So if you have any questions for me, once
[00:27:16.759]
the session is done, if you forgot to ask something
[00:27:18.910]
or if something just pops up, feel free to
[00:27:20.979]
send me a direct email. My email is
[00:27:23.029]
just [email protected]
[00:27:25.739]
If you want to get a little bit more detailed
[00:27:28.358]
about a topic you're going to be working on
[00:27:30.439]
with your class or maybe if I have librarians on
[00:27:32.568]
the line and you have a teacher who you think
[00:27:34.588]
would really enjoy something like this,
[00:27:37.118]
you want to get a little bit more specific in how you
[00:27:39.358]
can use it for your learning community.
[00:27:41.449]
Reach out to your customer success manager,
[00:27:43.660]
you can do that directly or if you don't know who
[00:27:45.750]
it is yet, send an email to
[00:27:47.880]
[email protected]
[00:27:50.479]
we'll forward you to the correct person,
[00:27:52.559]
you can make an appointment with them and really
[00:27:54.838]
go over specifics on how you can find
[00:27:56.910]
content. They can even work with you to take
[00:27:59.068]
a look at your resource collection to see what might be
[00:28:01.160]
best for, you know, a teacher, a
[00:28:03.170]
topic, a unit, whatever you're looking for.
[00:28:06.640]
If you have any questions about any of the in context,
[00:28:08.880]
resources, you can of course reach out to your sales
[00:28:11.108]
consultant again, either directly
[00:28:13.309]
or if you don't know who that is. You can go to support.gale.com/repfinder
[00:28:18.000]
and you put in your information and we'll
[00:28:20.049]
direct you to the right person there.
[00:28:22.650]
Again, our support site is always ready
[00:28:24.809]
and available for you and completely free. So
[00:28:26.900]
if you need a premade scavenger hunt, you need
[00:28:29.029]
the template or you need a, a different
[00:28:31.239]
lesson plan or you want to
[00:28:33.289]
look at webinars or you want to
[00:28:35.259]
some sort of marketing material, all of
[00:28:37.289]
that is found on our support site. So before you
[00:28:39.358]

[00:28:51.338]
So again, always there and available
[00:28:53.699]
for you. Now, I haven't seen any questions
[00:28:56.000]
pop up at all and we are at the end of our time. So
[00:28:58.390]
I'm going to go ahead and end our session. I do appreciate
[00:29:00.660]

[00:29:11.318]
So please enjoy the rest of your day, enjoy
[00:29:13.539]
the holidays that are coming up and hopefully
[00:29:15.759]
we'll see you all in future sessions. Bye
[00:29:17.838]
bye now.
Ok, welcome in again, everyone.
[00:00:07.530]
Today. We're talking about how you can develop scavenger
[00:00:09.989]
hunts with Gale In Context resources.
[00:00:12.500]
My name is Amber Winters and I'm a senior
[00:00:14.509]
training consultant here with Gale.
[00:00:17.940]
So our agenda today is pretty short,
[00:00:20.510]
nice and simple. First, we're just gonna
[00:00:22.670]
talk briefly why scavenger hunts.
[00:00:24.969]
So what they are, what
[00:00:26.978]
the value is in using scavenger hunts
[00:00:29.089]
in your class, then we'll talk about
[00:00:31.208]
the development process and we're actually going to
[00:00:33.240]
walk through. Um, I've chosen Gal in
[00:00:35.270]
context, opposing viewpoints today, but,
[00:00:37.389]
we're going to walk through one of the in context
[00:00:39.520]
resources. So you can see how the training
[00:00:41.728]
staff here, how we make scavenger hunts.
[00:00:44.209]
And we'll show you a template for it as well. So you can
[00:00:46.319]
really kind of understand how simple it is
[00:00:48.408]
to make these
[00:00:50.490]
after. If we do that, we're going to take a look at the
[00:00:52.548]
premade scavenger hunts we already have on our support
[00:00:55.020]
site. So if you don't have time to make yours
[00:00:57.139]
right now, we might have one on a topic that you're
[00:00:59.289]
interested in that you think your students would be interested in.
[00:01:01.700]
And you'll be able to download it and just use it for
[00:01:03.798]
free whenever you like.
[00:01:05.480]
And then at the very end of the session, I'll have
[00:01:07.599]
some wrap up information for you and
[00:01:09.799]
again, if I'm not able to answer all of the questions
[00:01:12.019]
that come in, the Q and A as they come in,
[00:01:14.239]
I'll answer all of them at the very end of the session.
[00:01:16.668]
So again, feel free to put them into the Q
[00:01:18.769]
and A when you think of them,
[00:01:20.388]
if it starts to get a little overwhelming
[00:01:22.599]
and we need to keep moving, we'll just wait until the end of
[00:01:24.609]
the session.
[00:01:25.680]
But just know your question will be answered no
[00:01:27.739]
matter when you put it in the Q and A.
[00:01:32.198]
So let's go ahead and just Ive written. So I just
[00:01:34.459]
want to start with the very basics. What are
[00:01:36.668]
scavenger hunts? So if any of you have not used
[00:01:38.909]
a scavenger hunt in your classroom yet, I just want you
[00:01:40.930]
to be aware of kind of what they are. So
[00:01:43.209]
these are guided activities that are really designed
[00:01:45.489]
to help your students,
[00:01:47.120]
explore a specific topic.
[00:01:49.349]
So the point of a scavenger hunt is for them to
[00:01:51.459]
really go step by step just like
[00:01:53.588]
they would with, you know, a treasure map. They need
[00:01:55.808]
to go to X place and they need to go to Y
[00:01:58.019]
then they need to go to Z.
[00:01:59.650]
we're helping them step by step. Find
[00:02:01.870]
the content related to whatever topic you're
[00:02:03.909]
learning about. So it's a much
[00:02:06.159]
more friendly approach approach
[00:02:08.169]
than a standard. You search for a
[00:02:10.179]
blank and tell me about it. It's
[00:02:12.199]
a really guided way to approach learning.
[00:02:16.028]
And each question within each scavenger
[00:02:18.349]
hunt, is kind of a new step,
[00:02:20.528]
a new piece of content they need to review.
[00:02:22.909]
So you'll see I have in my screenshot here.
[00:02:25.199]
Um,
[00:02:26.189]
in this first one, they're going to read an overview. The second
[00:02:28.479]
one is a reference article. The third
[00:02:30.538]
one is an audio file.
[00:02:33.419]
So we're really walking them through again, step
[00:02:35.788]
by step to different pieces of content.
[00:02:38.250]
So the goal of a scavenger hunt isn't
[00:02:40.389]
necessarily to have students on one
[00:02:43.080]
reference article and you ask them five questions.
[00:02:45.669]
The goal is more we're learning
[00:02:47.899]
about. In this case, we're learning about bees.
[00:02:50.149]
So we're learning about bees, let me guide
[00:02:52.360]
you to however many different pieces
[00:02:54.469]
of content. So you can really learn about
[00:02:56.508]
bees on your own in some different ways.
[00:03:00.038]
One of the main goals of these scavenger hunts is
[00:03:02.149]
to help your students engage with different content
[00:03:04.409]
types. What's nice about gale is we
[00:03:06.588]
have, you know, not only kind of the reference articles
[00:03:08.800]
you would expect to see, but we also
[00:03:10.899]
have a lot of multimedia. We have primary
[00:03:12.990]
sources. If you're learning about some sort of historical
[00:03:15.808]
topic, we have infographics
[00:03:18.629]
and statistics and experimental activities
[00:03:21.169]
that we're talking about science classrooms. So
[00:03:23.349]
these scavenger hunts, we really want students
[00:03:25.429]
to take a look at all of those different things.
[00:03:27.469]
We want them to really learn,
[00:03:29.300]
however, works best for them. So we want to make
[00:03:31.330]
sure we're hitting all different types of content
[00:03:33.500]
for all different types of learners.
[00:03:37.538]
Now, when we're specifically talking about scavenger
[00:03:39.889]
hunts using gale and context, really,
[00:03:42.379]
the key thing that makes scavenger hunt developments
[00:03:45.008]
a lot easier and a lot easier for your students
[00:03:47.050]
to use is going to be our topic
[00:03:49.288]
page organization
[00:03:50.949]
and this is found in all of our in context resources.
[00:03:53.669]
So again today, when we do a walk through,
[00:03:55.969]
I'm going to use gale and context opposing viewpoints,
[00:03:58.469]
but it'll be the same within
[00:04:00.758]
the core in context. So Gale In Context
[00:04:02.770]
high school, middle school Elementary,
[00:04:05.149]
if you're using maybe Gale In Context: U.S. History
[00:04:07.439]
or science,
[00:04:08.868]
each of them have these topic pages,
[00:04:11.330]
completely organized for some of the top
[00:04:13.649]
search and top used terms within each
[00:04:15.899]
resource. So
[00:04:17.290]
we really might recommend using
[00:04:19.399]
these topic pages and guiding students through
[00:04:21.420]
this one kind of landing point
[00:04:24.350]
makes it a lot easier for them to find the different content
[00:04:26.769]
types. You'll see, I just have a quick screenshot, we're
[00:04:29.059]
gonna go in the resource live. So you can see these in action,
[00:04:31.540]
but you'll see it's really simple and organized
[00:04:33.879]
for them. They have an overview at the top, giving
[00:04:36.178]
them kind of the, the base knowledge
[00:04:38.309]
that they're going to need to move forward in their learning.
[00:04:41.079]
And then underneath that, we organize all the, the different
[00:04:43.329]
content types here.
[00:04:45.278]
So you'll see again, this is in G and context, opposing
[00:04:47.600]
viewpoints. So you'll see our viewpoints
[00:04:49.678]
articles, but you'll also see
[00:04:51.759]
audio files, news magazines,
[00:04:54.399]
statistics. So it's a nice clean
[00:04:56.600]
way for your students to find content
[00:04:58.829]
without having to, run their
[00:05:00.980]
own searches. You know, when they're working through a scavenger
[00:05:03.028]
hunt, they could have five questions, they have to work through,
[00:05:05.048]
they could have 10,
[00:05:06.250]
and having them run 10 different searches
[00:05:08.410]
is
[00:05:09.660]
a lot of work.
[00:05:11.850]
It's a lot of time. So these topic pages
[00:05:14.160]
are going to help them still feel like they're doing
[00:05:16.298]
their own research because they still have to click through
[00:05:18.410]
to find the content that they need.
[00:05:20.420]
But it's in a way that's a little bit more guided.
[00:05:26.980]
So let's talk about how you can get started with scavenger
[00:05:29.269]
hunts. So what I recommend is first
[00:05:31.399]
downloading our pre created template. This
[00:05:33.449]
template is made in powerpoint and it's completely
[00:05:35.858]
editable by you. Um I have the link
[00:05:38.048]
up here. I will put the link in our follow up
[00:05:40.108]
email as well. So don't worry about
[00:05:42.129]
trying to write down this link here. It'll
[00:05:44.230]
be in the follow up email, but we have this on our support
[00:05:46.579]
site and you'll be able to completely edit
[00:05:48.778]
it to add all of your information and
[00:05:50.910]
then you can just export it as a PDF once you're done.
[00:05:53.230]
So I recommend that as step one, if you
[00:05:55.338]
have your own scavenger hunt template ready to
[00:05:57.389]
go use that, that's completely
[00:05:59.660]
fine. But we do have one ready for
[00:06:01.738]
you on the support site that you'll just be able to kind of
[00:06:04.100]
plug and chug with your content
[00:06:07.949]
from there. You're going to want to make sure you choose
[00:06:10.178]
the correct in context resource.
[00:06:12.480]
I do want to mention a lot of you most likely
[00:06:14.769]
have more than one in context resource
[00:06:17.678]
at your learning community at your school. So just
[00:06:19.838]
make sure you know what you have available,
[00:06:22.259]
the core In Context resources which are
[00:06:24.269]
Gale In Context: elementary, middle and high
[00:06:26.298]
school are going to be kind of
[00:06:28.314]
the cross curricular catch all resources.
[00:06:31.053]
So those are a little bit more shallow but
[00:06:33.153]
have a more broad range of coverage.
[00:06:35.204]
While if you have things like Gale
[00:06:37.213]
In Context: World History or Opposing
[00:06:39.345]
viewpoints or science, those are going
[00:06:41.574]
to have a little bit more of a narrow look
[00:06:43.634]
because they're looking at one specific subject,
[00:06:46.225]
but they're going to be a lot deeper.
[00:06:48.970]
So just make sure you know what you have available
[00:06:51.040]
to you and make sure you choose the
[00:06:53.119]
best resource for your learners. Of
[00:06:55.220]
course, you know your learners better than anyone.
[00:06:57.649]
Gale In Context: Middle School is a great place
[00:06:59.899]
to send your middle school students, if they're
[00:07:01.949]
a little more advanced, they might be ready for
[00:07:04.000]
the subject focused resources like
[00:07:06.139]
gale and context us history. So
[00:07:08.709]
just be aware of what you have and make
[00:07:10.889]
sure you kind of make the best choice for your learners.
[00:07:15.949]
And finally, I always recommend again,
[00:07:17.959]
check for a topic page in your
[00:07:19.970]
resource. You don't have to use topic
[00:07:22.079]
pages to create scavenger hunts. If
[00:07:24.220]
you prefer to have your students search and just find
[00:07:26.420]
little pieces of content through searching,
[00:07:29.019]
that's completely fine. It's going to work the same way your
[00:07:31.079]
students are still going to get great information.
[00:07:33.399]
But again, these topic pages, these landing
[00:07:35.420]
points, we've really made them
[00:07:37.569]
to empower your students to still
[00:07:39.588]
feel like they're researching to still have to click
[00:07:41.778]
through content on their own. You're not pulling it for
[00:07:43.920]
them and you know, sending them links.
[00:07:46.108]
but it's just organized
[00:07:48.410]
and it's right here for them. They can just easily
[00:07:50.949]
point and click instead of having to develop their own
[00:07:53.009]
search terms. So
[00:07:54.488]
I always recommend checking for a topic page
[00:07:57.850]
and checking for a topic page does kind of
[00:08:00.209]
flow into choosing your in context
[00:08:02.329]
resource if you start off with, let's say Gale in context
[00:08:04.738]
high school, but you have a, a super
[00:08:06.889]
specific, let's say scientific topic
[00:08:09.048]
that you're wanting to build a scavenger hunt
[00:08:11.069]
on. If they don't have a topic page
[00:08:13.329]
in your in your core and context resource,
[00:08:15.790]
take a look at Gale and context science, we
[00:08:17.798]
might have it there instead.
[00:08:19.428]
So again,
[00:08:20.949]
be aware of what you have available to you. Check
[00:08:23.269]
for a topic page is always my suggestion.
[00:08:25.988]
And once you start doing this on your own, of
[00:08:28.059]
course, you're going to
[00:08:30.278]
build a better understanding of what works
[00:08:32.570]
for you.
[00:08:34.460]
Give me one second here. I got signed out of my resource.
[00:08:37.058]
There we go.
[00:08:38.570]
You'll find what works best for you. So these are
[00:08:40.609]
just kind of starting suggestions. But
[00:08:42.869]
what I'm gonna do now, we're actually going to go live
[00:08:45.080]
in the resource before I do, I haven't
[00:08:47.330]
seen any questions pop up in the Q and A,
[00:08:49.658]
but I do wanna make sure I get them answered.
[00:08:51.820]
So do we have any questions before we kind of dive
[00:08:54.158]
in live and see how this works?
[00:09:01.580]
Ok. I don't see any. So
[00:09:03.609]
we'll go ahead and keep rolling then. So what I first want to
[00:09:05.649]
show you is our scavenger hunt
[00:09:07.750]
template. So again, this is actually found on our support
[00:09:10.149]
site. I'll send you the link after our session is
[00:09:12.250]
done. But we've left it as
[00:09:14.590]
a powerpoint. So when you download it from our support
[00:09:16.639]
site, it's going to download just like this
[00:09:19.330]
anytime you see right here. So you'll see.
[00:09:21.599]
Enter your topic here, enter the resource name.
[00:09:24.048]
This is where you're going to have to put in your own information.
[00:09:27.668]
So we do recommend when you make a scavenger
[00:09:30.029]
hunt, leave it within one resource. So,
[00:09:32.619]
you know, your hunt is just through gal and
[00:09:34.678]
contexts, opposing viewpoints.
[00:09:36.250]
I wouldn't suggest having them bounce back and forth
[00:09:38.418]
between,
[00:09:39.308]
you know, opposing viewpoints in high school and us
[00:09:41.418]
history because that can get a little bit confusing for
[00:09:43.460]
them as they're trying to click through. So we
[00:09:45.500]
recommend just using one resource and sticking
[00:09:47.759]
to that for the entirety of your scavenger
[00:09:49.879]
hunt. Again, it's up to
[00:09:51.940]
you. If you are have really high level students,
[00:09:53.979]
maybe your 12th graders, you really want them digging
[00:09:56.229]
into everything you have available. Feel
[00:09:58.509]
free to edit this to use more than one resource. But
[00:10:00.538]
we do default to just using one resource
[00:10:03.000]
per scavenger hunt.
[00:10:05.710]
So you'll see, we give you the option
[00:10:07.979]
to enter that information here underneath, we
[00:10:10.009]
have our basic directions.
[00:10:12.090]
We organize the directions like
[00:10:14.200]
you're going to be using a topic page. If
[00:10:16.359]
you're not using a topic page, you'll need to edit this a
[00:10:18.379]
little bit. Um, I suggest
[00:10:20.908]
if your students aren't super comfortable with logging
[00:10:23.129]
into the resource, add your login information
[00:10:25.580]
up top here, you know, go to your
[00:10:27.739]
school and click into X or go
[00:10:29.859]
to the library website and click here.
[00:10:31.879]
If you were, they don't know their password, you can certainly
[00:10:34.119]
add the password here for your students as well.
[00:10:36.899]
But just edit this as needed
[00:10:39.298]
if your students are already you know, golden, they know
[00:10:41.340]
exactly how to get to you in context, resources.
[00:10:44.090]
You can skip those directions and use these basic
[00:10:46.139]
ones here
[00:10:48.099]
under the directions. That's where you're actually going
[00:10:50.200]
to find where you need to complete
[00:10:52.288]
the scavenger hunt steps here.
[00:10:55.259]
So the first line is always going to be the directions
[00:10:57.489]
to get to whatever piece of content you want
[00:10:59.548]
them to see. So if you found a really nice video
[00:11:02.469]
that you need your students to see on the topic page,
[00:11:04.889]
you'll give them the directions. First click into
[00:11:06.969]
the audio section, click into this
[00:11:09.090]
video and then where
[00:11:11.139]
this blue is, this is where you're going to ask your questions.
[00:11:14.009]
You could have one question here, you could have two, you could have
[00:11:16.070]
three whatever you wanna do, but that's where
[00:11:18.219]
you're going to have them answer the questions for
[00:11:20.308]
you. And on each
[00:11:22.509]
of these, we do include this a
[00:11:24.548]
spot for your students to put their source
[00:11:26.899]
as well. So even if you're directing them
[00:11:29.058]
to a piece of content, we want them to understand
[00:11:31.279]
how citations work. So we include
[00:11:33.450]
that here for them.
[00:11:36.200]
And I will mention the very end of this template.
[00:11:38.320]
We do have an answer
[00:11:40.529]
key here as well. One
[00:11:43.428]
hint for you or one tip,
[00:11:45.548]
make sure you fill out the answer key for yourself
[00:11:47.950]
as you're writing out the questions because
[00:11:50.408]
I'm not gonna lie. It's a pain to write out all of the questions
[00:11:52.820]
to find the content and then go back
[00:11:54.950]
to that content to actually get the answers. I
[00:11:57.158]
have to admit I've done that more than once. So
[00:11:59.408]
as you're making this scavenger hunt,
[00:12:01.489]
make sure you fill out the answer sheet for yourself as
[00:12:03.590]
well. And
[00:12:05.719]
then once you're done with this, we just recommend um
[00:12:08.418]
exporting it as a PDF.
[00:12:10.570]
So your students can fill it out online if you want them
[00:12:12.639]
to or you can print it out for your students.
[00:12:15.000]
You could also export it you know, like into
[00:12:17.229]
a word document or something like that if you want them
[00:12:19.658]
to type out, that's of course, completely
[00:12:21.889]
up to you as well. But probably
[00:12:23.979]
get it out of powerpoint. It's not great to keep it in
[00:12:26.009]
powerpoint. So again, we prefer PDF S for
[00:12:28.149]
this.
[00:12:30.558]
So let's get down to how this actually works.
[00:12:32.879]
Now again, I decided to just
[00:12:35.178]
use close that Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints
[00:12:37.200]
but this is going
[00:12:39.250]
to work the exact same for any of your in context.
[00:12:41.788]
Resources
[00:12:43.080]
gel and context elementary looks slightly different
[00:12:45.399]
just, you know, because we've made it for the little babies.
[00:12:47.769]
So it's a little bit easier to click through
[00:12:49.859]
and it clicks a little bit differently, but
[00:12:52.000]
it's still going to have those nice
[00:12:54.190]
topic pages for you.
[00:12:55.830]
So let's first talk about finding topic pages
[00:12:57.950]
and I'm just going to
[00:13:00.158]
make my screen just a little bit smaller. I know
[00:13:02.330]
it's small already since it's only half a screen.
[00:13:04.479]
But I wanna make sure we see everything on this page.
[00:13:07.340]
So,
[00:13:08.200]
once you sign into Gale in context,
[00:13:10.389]
whichever resource, you have a few
[00:13:12.519]
different ways to find a topic page. So if you do decide
[00:13:14.700]
you want to use a topic page and organize
[00:13:16.899]
yourself that way
[00:13:18.320]
you can either start on the home page here.
[00:13:20.369]
You can look at issues of interest. Can
[00:13:22.389]
I see what's going on this month? These change monthly,
[00:13:26.229]
scrolling down, you can also browse different
[00:13:28.519]
issues here. Each of these issues are topic
[00:13:30.678]
pages. So you'll see we do right now
[00:13:32.779]
have 486 issues
[00:13:35.279]
or topic pages created within the resource.
[00:13:38.058]
So this browse feature is nice if
[00:13:40.080]
you don't know exactly what topic you want to use,
[00:13:42.460]
maybe, you know that it's should be in the
[00:13:44.500]
field of health and medicine or maybe it's,
[00:13:46.609]
you know, you want something related to using
[00:13:48.869]
energy or something like that.
[00:13:51.259]
You can start to just browse here. Maybe
[00:13:53.408]
science and tech. If I click into that
[00:13:56.798]
and you'll see these topic pages, there
[00:13:58.879]
are gonna be a lot of topic pages to browse through
[00:14:00.918]
though. That's my one warning for you.
[00:14:02.928]
So if you don't know exactly what you're looking
[00:14:04.969]
for, just be aware, there's a lot to browse through. So
[00:14:07.250]
it might take a little bit of time.
[00:14:10.200]
But you can also find topic pages. Now, I just
[00:14:12.298]
jump back to the home here, by running
[00:14:14.619]
a search. So I'm actually going to search for affordable
[00:14:17.058]
housing because I think that's something that we hear
[00:14:19.308]
in the news a lot.
[00:14:21.918]
Now, when I start typing in here, you'll see,
[00:14:24.109]
I have these predictive text options
[00:14:26.379]
and it's going to show me the top three here
[00:14:28.750]
already have topic pages or you'll see
[00:14:30.879]
they're called topic guides here.
[00:14:32.548]
I already have them created for me.
[00:14:35.000]
So as you type in your topic
[00:14:37.269]
here, if you see one of these options with
[00:14:39.308]
the little images next to it, you'll know that's got
[00:14:41.548]
that nice organized page. We do have
[00:14:43.649]
additional predictive text here. Any
[00:14:46.048]
of these are just going to pull forward a search results
[00:14:48.099]
page as opposed to a topic page,
[00:14:51.369]
which is fine if you prefer to use that,
[00:14:53.469]
use the resource that way. But again,
[00:14:55.509]
I am really partial to these topic pages.
[00:14:57.869]
So, let's click into affordable
[00:15:00.190]
housing here.
[00:15:04.340]
There we go.
[00:15:05.168]
Now here we are on our nice clean
[00:15:07.369]
organized topic page. So at the very
[00:15:09.580]
top is going to be our overview. And
[00:15:11.788]
for me, a best practice question
[00:15:13.918]
number one on my scavenger hunt, you'll see as always
[00:15:16.469]
select the blue read more button under the title,
[00:15:19.629]
you'll see my blue read more button here.
[00:15:23.558]
So I have them click into this. They're going to pull
[00:15:25.639]
forward the full scavenger hunt. So I'm going
[00:15:27.779]
to ask them to or sorry, the full scavenger hunt,
[00:15:29.950]
the full overview. So I'm going to ask
[00:15:32.109]
them to read this overview to get the background
[00:15:34.168]
knowledge.
[00:15:35.769]
And then I'm going to think of some questions off of this.
[00:15:38.019]
Again, it could be one question. It could be a couple
[00:15:40.219]
of questions.
[00:15:41.178]
You'll see. This actually has critical thinking questions
[00:15:43.460]
already made in here. So if you
[00:15:45.479]
actually like these questions and want to use them in your scavenger
[00:15:47.779]
hunt, you can just copy and paste these right directly into
[00:15:49.820]
your hunt. But of course, you don't have to
[00:15:51.840]
use these. If you have your own questions that you want to ask.
[00:15:54.639]
And question number one, you'll ask
[00:15:57.119]
your question, ask your question and then you'll have
[00:15:59.168]
them include their source.
[00:16:02.019]
And I will mention here that we do have a citation
[00:16:04.149]
tool that's going to let them make
[00:16:06.178]
the citations right here on the platform. They don't
[00:16:08.269]
need to develop them on their own.
[00:16:10.109]
If they use our cite button at the very top
[00:16:12.149]
of the page here in our toolbar,
[00:16:14.548]
it already pops it up for them. You'll see they can use
[00:16:16.619]
Mlaap, a Chicago or Harvard
[00:16:18.629]
versions. They can select copy
[00:16:20.750]
and paste it right to the source section
[00:16:22.759]
here
[00:16:23.649]
and they're ready, they're ready to go. They don't need you to do
[00:16:25.798]
anything else. It's a really nice feature to have
[00:16:28.460]
to make sure your students are kind of continuing
[00:16:30.950]
to move their learning forward.
[00:16:36.308]
Now, I'm going to jump back to the main topic
[00:16:38.399]
page here by using my little breadcrumb trail
[00:16:40.489]
at the top.
[00:16:42.320]
And sorry, if my screen just went black for a second,
[00:16:44.479]
everyone, it's been cutting out. I don't know if
[00:16:46.500]
it's just for me or if it's for you guys too, but
[00:16:48.558]
it just went black. Hopefully it stopped.
[00:16:51.509]
Um, so we're back here on the main
[00:16:53.580]
topic page now, moving forward
[00:16:56.408]
in the scavenger hunt, this is really when it
[00:16:58.418]
gets super loose and it's whatever you want to do.
[00:17:01.090]
What I like to do is scroll down,
[00:17:03.798]
take a look at these different content types and
[00:17:06.199]
I actually like to go and order. So I might start
[00:17:08.709]
by clicking into my viewpoint section
[00:17:11.549]
and I'm going to find a viewpoint that I really like.
[00:17:14.180]
Let's say this one to solve homelessness, California
[00:17:16.489]
must address overlapping crises.
[00:17:20.250]
If I could say that word, that'd be great, right?
[00:17:22.459]
So I'm going to have my students
[00:17:24.900]
click and read this. So my directions
[00:17:27.140]
here are going to be click into the viewpoints
[00:17:29.719]
content bucket, which is right here
[00:17:32.670]
and select the to solve homelessness
[00:17:36.019]
document.
[00:17:39.049]
If you have more advanced students,
[00:17:41.088]
you may want to have them actually filter as well
[00:17:43.209]
in your your direction. So maybe it's click
[00:17:45.719]
into the viewpoint section, filter
[00:17:47.969]
your results based on subjects,
[00:17:50.559]
you know, only choose housing policy
[00:17:54.180]
and then choose X article.
[00:17:57.118]
So you can really kind of ramp up
[00:17:59.130]
the difficulty or keep it at a lower level
[00:18:01.630]
if you do want them to start filtering,
[00:18:03.729]
have, have them filter, have that be another
[00:18:05.910]
step in your directions to find a piece of content.
[00:18:09.338]
Um,
[00:18:10.250]
I like to tell them always to jump back to
[00:18:12.289]
the topic page after they finish a step
[00:18:14.299]
in the scavenger hunt as well. So once
[00:18:16.358]
they do this and they answer your questions for number two,
[00:18:19.000]
go back to the main topic page
[00:18:21.209]
by clicking affordable housing up here.
[00:18:24.279]
And this may be something you wanna briefly
[00:18:26.309]
go over with them before they start their scavenger
[00:18:28.769]
hunt. You know, this is the topic page. These
[00:18:30.969]
are the content buckets. This is how you get back
[00:18:33.068]
to the topic page just so they're aware,
[00:18:35.108]
but you can also include them in the directions,
[00:18:38.578]
but then I'll go down again. And now let's say, OK,
[00:18:41.009]
I took a look at a viewpoint. Now I want the students
[00:18:43.449]
to look at an infographic
[00:18:45.670]
which is actually an inter interactive statistic
[00:18:48.130]
will they'll be able to hover over the charts
[00:18:50.400]
and the graphs, whatever they're looking at,
[00:18:52.660]
to understand what's
[00:18:54.699]
going on here.
[00:18:56.759]
And what's nice is I could also, let's say I click into
[00:18:58.809]
infographics
[00:18:59.959]
and instead of guiding them to one
[00:19:02.140]
specific infographic, I could say,
[00:19:04.380]
choose one of these infographics, tell
[00:19:06.689]
me about it, tell me your opinion.
[00:19:08.769]
What are your thoughts on the results?
[00:19:10.818]
So I don't just have to forward them
[00:19:12.890]
to specific bits of content. I can forward them
[00:19:14.949]
just to a content type
[00:19:16.699]
and then have them be able to make the choice
[00:19:18.949]
in what piece of content looks the most interesting
[00:19:21.068]
to them. So again, trying
[00:19:23.180]
to get choice in the classroom, trying to
[00:19:25.199]
have students feel empowered
[00:19:27.250]
like they are actually finding their own content.
[00:19:29.759]
Even though you're directing them, we want them to still
[00:19:31.779]
feel like they're capable researchers
[00:19:34.118]
who are able to do this on their own.
[00:19:37.029]
So I might tell them to go
[00:19:39.039]
in, find your own statistic. And
[00:19:41.180]
again, since we have them put their source in here,
[00:19:43.420]
it'll be easy if you want to take a look at what
[00:19:45.640]
statistic they chose because the source
[00:19:47.890]
is already listed for you.
[00:19:53.719]
Here we go and we'll jump back to the topic page here.
[00:19:55.979]
And again, we'll just scroll down,
[00:19:57.588]
you can do this in order you can not do
[00:19:59.729]
it in order if you don't want to do in order, you'll
[00:20:01.759]
see we have primary sources. So if instead
[00:20:03.838]
of doing something like um
[00:20:06.608]
affordable housing, if you may be doing
[00:20:08.699]
a scavenger hunt on the civil war, you
[00:20:10.750]
might want students to find a primary source.
[00:20:13.019]
That's interesting to them. They'll be able to do that
[00:20:16.068]
scrolling down. I do always like to have
[00:20:18.318]
at least one multimedia question.
[00:20:20.779]
So it might be a question about an
[00:20:22.858]
interesting video or sorry, an
[00:20:24.880]
interesting image or a video that
[00:20:27.049]
I like on here that I want students to take a look at maybe
[00:20:29.229]
a podcast under my audio file section.
[00:20:31.729]
So I do like to mix it up. I don't want it to just be,
[00:20:34.059]
you know, five questions about five different
[00:20:36.660]
articles. I want them to watch a video,
[00:20:38.729]
I want them to listen to a podcast.
[00:20:40.660]
So I'll make one of those, you know, questions,
[00:20:43.289]
three or four, something like that.
[00:20:47.439]
And of course, the content types are going to vary based
[00:20:49.588]
on what resource you're using as well as the
[00:20:51.699]
topic. Sometimes you might see biographies.
[00:20:53.739]
So you can have students learn about a person related to your
[00:20:55.769]
topic.
[00:20:56.789]
Um You see primary sources, you'll see academic
[00:20:58.828]
journals and like gal in context opposing
[00:21:00.900]
viewpoints. So again, if you have those
[00:21:02.989]
really high level learners, your 12th graders,
[00:21:05.338]
you may want them to read an academic journal
[00:21:07.818]
and again, you can direct them to read a specific
[00:21:09.939]
one or you can have them choose one
[00:21:11.959]
they think is, you know, manageable for them to
[00:21:13.989]
read. Again,
[00:21:18.719]
you'll fill this out once it's done, we
[00:21:20.838]
recommend, exporting it as
[00:21:22.880]
a PDF but whatever, whatever
[00:21:25.098]
format works best for you and for your students,
[00:21:27.838]
that's what we want you to do.
[00:21:33.180]
Now, I do want to show you where you can find our premade
[00:21:35.809]
scavenger hunts before we end the session today and we've
[00:21:37.920]
only got about seven minutes. So
[00:21:40.019]
before I do that, does anyone have any questions
[00:21:42.180]
about clicking through the resource,
[00:21:44.368]
finding a topic, page, writing
[00:21:46.630]
directions for students to find pieces of
[00:21:48.729]
content, anything like that at all.
[00:21:54.750]
Ok. We've got a quiet group today.
[00:21:56.979]
That's not a problem. So
[00:21:59.199]
our premade scavenger hunts as well as our scavenger
[00:22:01.680]
hunt template.
[00:22:03.328]
Oh, we have a do have a question here. So for
[00:22:05.338]
high school students, about how much time would
[00:22:07.459]
you allow for the lesson?
[00:22:09.160]
So, Lisa, it's really going to depend
[00:22:11.219]
on how long you make the scavenger hunt. You'll
[00:22:13.289]
see. We default to having five questions.
[00:22:16.789]
I would say five questions. If you have
[00:22:18.989]
different sections for each question, I would give
[00:22:21.108]
them the class time to do
[00:22:23.140]
it. I would give them the whole class. So I'll make this
[00:22:25.390]
a day for whatever your students are doing.
[00:22:28.039]
Um If it's, you know, quick five questions,
[00:22:30.400]
but they're,
[00:22:31.410]
you know, quick questions, just one question per
[00:22:33.430]
step. And maybe something just
[00:22:35.459]
to do to finish off a lesson.
[00:22:38.029]
Realistically, you could maybe even do two questions
[00:22:40.459]
and have it be a bell ringer if you really wanted to make
[00:22:42.519]
it short.
[00:22:43.459]
So it just depends on the content. You're having students
[00:22:45.680]
sift through, you know, if it's more advanced content
[00:22:48.140]
or if it's a lot of clicks and a lot of filtering,
[00:22:50.719]
it's gonna take longer. But if you try to
[00:22:52.750]
make it a little more basic, you know, click through
[00:22:54.858]
these five things, read a little bit and answer,
[00:22:57.180]
then you may not need a full class period. So
[00:22:59.559]
it's really going to just depend on
[00:23:01.789]
what sort of content you're looking at.
[00:23:09.299]
And I did forget to throw this out there. I always forget
[00:23:11.430]
to mention this, but this is a great sub plan.
[00:23:13.930]
So once your students are comfortable within your
[00:23:16.049]
in context, resources,
[00:23:17.930]
it's nice to have some of these on hand just with a
[00:23:19.939]
bunch of different topics, you know, what related
[00:23:22.009]
to whatever unit you're working on. So
[00:23:24.250]
if you have to be out, you don't have to make something
[00:23:26.269]
you can just, you know, here you go,
[00:23:28.549]
work through the scavenger hunt. We've done them before.
[00:23:30.930]
So, you know, the steps, find the content, answer the
[00:23:32.959]
question. So I like to throw that out there. It is
[00:23:35.088]
a nice sub plan.
[00:23:38.328]
So all of our scavenge hunts that are premade
[00:23:40.459]
as well as our template is found on our support
[00:23:42.729]
site, which is just support
[00:23:45.019]
that gale.com and I will repeat that
[00:23:47.250]
at the end of this session.
[00:23:48.739]
let's just make this full screen now.
[00:23:52.459]
So once you're on support at.com,
[00:23:54.779]
you're going to go to our training center which
[00:23:56.959]
is listed up top here in this toolbar
[00:23:59.269]
and you can either browse by type
[00:24:01.739]
or by product. So if you're looking maybe
[00:24:03.900]
for just for scavenger hunts for gale in context
[00:24:06.088]
high school, I recommend browsing
[00:24:08.098]
by product and find a gal in context high school.
[00:24:10.789]
If you want to see all of the scavenger
[00:24:13.400]
hunts we have available. I would suggest
[00:24:15.699]
going to browse by type. So we're going to do
[00:24:17.709]
that today.
[00:24:20.989]
Now, you see, we have quite a few different types here.
[00:24:24.559]
But what we want is activities. That's
[00:24:26.670]
where we house all of our scavenger hunts as well as
[00:24:28.680]
the other, um,
[00:24:31.390]
activity types that we have are other,
[00:24:33.539]
classroom resources. So let's click
[00:24:35.640]
into activities
[00:24:39.130]
now to narrow it down just to scavenger hunts. I'm
[00:24:41.279]
actually going to go to this product search and
[00:24:43.338]
I'm just gonna start typing in scavenger hunt.
[00:24:48.670]
And now you see, this is all of our premade
[00:24:50.759]
scavenger hunts
[00:24:53.088]
as well as the scavenger hunt template, which is
[00:24:55.150]
listed right here.
[00:24:57.009]
These are ready to go for you and they're free. I always
[00:24:59.098]
like to mention you can download these as many times
[00:25:01.289]
as you want whenever you want for as many of the
[00:25:03.358]
resources. They're always here available
[00:25:05.719]
for you,
[00:25:07.150]
excuse me.
[00:25:08.910]
But you'll notice here in the title we tried to include
[00:25:11.170]
the topic. So this one is about advertising
[00:25:14.019]
and then we include the resource. So this one's gall in context,
[00:25:16.608]
opposing viewpoints.
[00:25:18.019]
You'll see. We have one for science, high school environmental
[00:25:20.299]
studies. I believe we have at least
[00:25:22.358]
one scavenger hunt for every in context
[00:25:24.699]
resource. It, every in context resource,
[00:25:26.969]
but I have more than one like you'll see just
[00:25:29.000]
right here. High school, I have 12,
[00:25:32.180]
three Lissa, just right
[00:25:34.209]
here where you can see. So a lot of our resources
[00:25:36.368]
have more than one scavenger hunt.
[00:25:38.430]
Um But they have at least one
[00:25:42.699]
so you can click into any of these. So
[00:25:44.838]
let's say alternative and renewable energy.
[00:25:47.578]
When they're pre created for you on the support
[00:25:49.699]
site, they are in PDF formats. Feel
[00:25:52.229]
free to download and change that
[00:25:54.009]
on your desktop, however you wanna do it,
[00:25:55.989]
they're free for you to edit however you
[00:25:58.039]
want to. But they are listed as PDF S when
[00:26:00.078]
they're on the support site,
[00:26:01.559]
but they are premade for you.
[00:26:03.250]
And we do include the answers here as well.
[00:26:05.549]
So be careful if you're sharing this file out with
[00:26:07.568]
your students, make sure you detach
[00:26:09.868]
the answer key before you send it to them because
[00:26:11.979]
this is gonna, you know,
[00:26:13.729]
this will definitely make it. So it doesn't take a full class
[00:26:15.868]
period if you hand them out the answers. So
[00:26:17.989]
just be warned, we do include the answers
[00:26:20.029]
attached to each of these scavenger hunts. So you wanna
[00:26:22.108]
make sure you get that second page or
[00:26:24.279]
maybe the third page depending how long this is,
[00:26:26.449]
off of the file before you send it out to them.
[00:26:33.660]
Yeah, but you can go through, click
[00:26:35.848]
on any of them, download them whatever you want to do.
[00:26:37.868]
They are again here on the support site and
[00:26:40.150]
I will put in a our follow up email, all
[00:26:42.338]
of the links. You're going to need to the template
[00:26:44.358]
to the support site. So you'll be able
[00:26:46.368]
to find this information once we're done today.
[00:26:48.410]
Don't worry if you forget, I know it's almost a holiday
[00:26:50.549]
break
[00:26:51.469]
and probably 95% of
[00:26:53.479]
this will be forgotten by the time we all get back, which is
[00:26:55.549]
totally fine and expected. So
[00:26:57.809]
just hold on to the email and you'll have
[00:26:59.818]
links to everything you need if you are planning
[00:27:02.009]
on developing your own scavenger hunts with your
[00:27:04.088]
gal and context resources.
[00:27:08.160]
Now let me jump back here to my slides
[00:27:12.368]
because I do have some wrap up information for you.
[00:27:14.519]
So if you have any questions for me, once
[00:27:16.759]
the session is done, if you forgot to ask something
[00:27:18.910]
or if something just pops up, feel free to
[00:27:20.979]
send me a direct email. My email is
[00:27:23.029]
just [email protected]
[00:27:25.739]
If you want to get a little bit more detailed
[00:27:28.358]
about a topic you're going to be working on
[00:27:30.439]
with your class or maybe if I have librarians on
[00:27:32.568]
the line and you have a teacher who you think
[00:27:34.588]
would really enjoy something like this,
[00:27:37.118]
you want to get a little bit more specific in how you
[00:27:39.358]
can use it for your learning community.
[00:27:41.449]
Reach out to your customer success manager,
[00:27:43.660]
you can do that directly or if you don't know who
[00:27:45.750]
it is yet, send an email to
[00:27:47.880]
[email protected]
[00:27:50.479]
we'll forward you to the correct person,
[00:27:52.559]
you can make an appointment with them and really
[00:27:54.838]
go over specifics on how you can find
[00:27:56.910]
content. They can even work with you to take
[00:27:59.068]
a look at your resource collection to see what might be
[00:28:01.160]
best for, you know, a teacher, a
[00:28:03.170]
topic, a unit, whatever you're looking for.
[00:28:06.640]
If you have any questions about any of the in context,
[00:28:08.880]
resources, you can of course reach out to your sales
[00:28:11.108]
consultant again, either directly
[00:28:13.309]
or if you don't know who that is. You can go to support.gale.com/repfinder
[00:28:18.000]
and you put in your information and we'll
[00:28:20.049]
direct you to the right person there.

Again, our support site is always ready
[00:28:24.809]

[00:28:37.289]
