Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.429]
Welcome in everyone. Today. We're
[00:00:07.509]
going to be talking about media literacy week
[00:00:09.819]
and how you could teach with Gale. My name
[00:00:12.000]
is Amber Winters. I'm glad to have you on the line
[00:00:14.220]
today. We have a brief agenda.
[00:00:16.658]
So, first, I wanna talk about media literacy
[00:00:18.879]
week 2023. What it is,
[00:00:21.079]
the theme that we've, that's they've
[00:00:23.519]
chosen to highlight and then we'll start talking about
[00:00:25.798]
some of the different tools that we've created to help
[00:00:27.839]
you teach to that theme.
[00:00:29.510]
And then at the very end of the session, we'll have
[00:00:31.539]
time again for any questions that I'm not able to
[00:00:33.598]
answer as we move through the session today.
[00:00:36.329]
And I've got some wrap up contact information
[00:00:38.418]
for you as well if you need to dive a little bit deeper
[00:00:40.478]
into what we've talked about today.
[00:00:43.500]
So first, let's just talk about media literacy
[00:00:45.618]
week as a whole. So media literacy week
[00:00:47.848]
is run every October this
[00:00:49.918]
year it runs this year is 2023
[00:00:52.219]
for anyone watching this recording. This
[00:00:54.289]
year it runs from October 23rd
[00:00:56.590]
to October 27th and
[00:00:58.770]
it's hosted every year by the National association
[00:01:01.340]
for media literacy education.
[00:01:03.840]
And this year, they've actually chosen five key
[00:01:06.138]
topics that they're going to highlight throughout the week. So
[00:01:08.250]
they've chosen to highlight one topic for
[00:01:10.549]
every day. So that's what girls decided to do as
[00:01:12.668]
well. And we've kind of
[00:01:14.219]
developed our lesson plans that we've created
[00:01:16.349]
for you based on those five topics. So
[00:01:18.609]
the first is going to be access. So
[00:01:20.790]
how and where and how often people
[00:01:23.028]
access technology
[00:01:24.629]
and this topic, they're also talking about
[00:01:26.638]
things like the digital divide, how it's disproportionately
[00:01:29.638]
affects different demographics and
[00:01:32.049]
how that can be combated a little bit
[00:01:34.338]
Tuesday. So the next day
[00:01:36.230]
is focused on analyzing. So once students
[00:01:38.569]
find a piece of content, they need to understand
[00:01:41.198]
who wrote it, the validity of that
[00:01:43.308]
piece of content, what the context is?
[00:01:45.558]
Is there a bias related to that content
[00:01:47.638]
that they can see? Is there an agenda by the author?
[00:01:50.599]
They're going to start to take a look at that piece
[00:01:52.989]
of content and really kind of understand where
[00:01:55.569]
it's coming from and um what
[00:01:57.909]
it's suggesting
[00:02:00.198]
then Wednesday, we're taking a look at how they
[00:02:02.299]
can evaluate that piece of content.
[00:02:04.329]
So that's really moving forward with critical
[00:02:06.459]
thinking skills, kind of incorporating those
[00:02:08.788]
as students kind of
[00:02:10.868]
build an understanding of the background of
[00:02:12.949]
this piece of text, they're going to work to draw their
[00:02:15.020]
own conclusions based on it. So if
[00:02:17.169]
this is an opinion piece do you agree with the opinion?
[00:02:19.625]
Do you think that the individual made
[00:02:22.085]
a solid argument for what they believe if this isn't
[00:02:24.133]
an opinion piece? Do you think that
[00:02:26.194]
any of the information is misleading? Do you think that
[00:02:28.625]
maybe context is missing from that piece
[00:02:30.683]
of text? So this step on Wednesday
[00:02:32.865]
is really helping students engage their critical
[00:02:35.175]
thinking skills
[00:02:36.895]
and move forward from just, you know, reading
[00:02:39.463]
a piece of text and just kind of taking it at face
[00:02:41.683]
value. It's really helping them dig in a little bit deeper
[00:02:44.449]
then Thursday, which is day four, they're
[00:02:46.588]
talking more about creation. So now that students
[00:02:48.679]
understand um how to access
[00:02:50.838]
content that's been created for them. Now
[00:02:53.159]
they're going to kind of take a step back and understand
[00:02:55.229]
how to create content on their own.
[00:02:57.379]
So, of course, this is going to include
[00:02:59.740]
the actual process of creating materials.
[00:03:02.038]
So how blogs work social media,
[00:03:04.159]
how to upload videos and things like that.
[00:03:07.129]
But it's also focused on students understanding
[00:03:09.469]
what happens to that content, how
[00:03:11.550]
the internet's really permanent. So
[00:03:13.710]
they need to be aware of the content that they're
[00:03:15.849]
creating and the content they're putting out there.
[00:03:18.020]
And this also gives them a second to kind of step
[00:03:20.219]
back and see if they have any agendas
[00:03:22.330]
or biases that are impacting their creations as well.
[00:03:24.508]
Because sometimes it's difficult
[00:03:26.679]
for students to remember to kind of step back on their own
[00:03:28.758]
and evaluate their own opinions to see where
[00:03:30.788]
they may need to adjust their thinking
[00:03:33.219]
or kind of adjust what they're developing.
[00:03:35.610]
And finally day five or Friday,
[00:03:37.719]
which is the culmination of all of these other
[00:03:39.960]
days, of all of these other great topics.
[00:03:42.118]
That's the National Association for
[00:03:44.399]
Media Literacy Education has chosen to pull
[00:03:46.588]
forward. Day five is going to be a.
[00:03:48.758]
So we pull all of this together and now students
[00:03:51.118]
understand um how to access
[00:03:53.199]
content, how other people are accessing or
[00:03:55.258]
maybe not accessing content, they
[00:03:57.278]
know how to analyze and evaluate that content,
[00:04:00.210]
they know how to create new content. So
[00:04:02.250]
now they need to pull all of that together
[00:04:04.719]
to kind of challenge the status quo to
[00:04:06.830]
empower others to find individuals
[00:04:09.028]
who are maybe kind of sinking
[00:04:11.169]
in that digital divide a little bit and help bring
[00:04:13.229]
them to the technology. They need how
[00:04:15.379]
to get that kind of information
[00:04:17.619]
out to others as well as how to fight false
[00:04:19.949]
information. Because of course, with media literacy,
[00:04:22.290]
one of the
[00:04:23.579]
the key topics that we're focused on now
[00:04:25.920]
really across the US and across the world
[00:04:28.410]
is the idea of false information
[00:04:30.519]
being kind of propagated through social media
[00:04:32.600]
and through other outlets. So
[00:04:34.278]
this act is really pulling it together
[00:04:36.970]
to help students understand. Once they find
[00:04:39.129]
that false information, they should
[00:04:41.178]
just keep that to themselves. How can they proactively
[00:04:43.480]
let people know this information is misleading.
[00:04:46.069]
This information is false. You know, you need to evaluate
[00:04:48.639]
this to kind of get a deeper understanding.
[00:04:51.079]
So day five, that Friday
[00:04:53.509]
they've developed into that act into that
[00:04:55.709]
moving forward, that actionable item for
[00:04:57.829]
students.
[00:05:01.459]
So again, gay has decided to base our
[00:05:03.488]
activity packets on those five
[00:05:05.809]
topics that they've chosen to pull forward
[00:05:08.369]
and I'll click into it live so you can see what they look
[00:05:10.389]
like, but just quickly. So you know how to
[00:05:12.410]
get to the information. I've put the
[00:05:14.569]
the link at the top here. It's a little bit long. So
[00:05:16.790]
don't worry about typing it all out.
[00:05:19.108]
But it is support.gale.com forward
[00:05:21.399]
slash training forward slash themes
[00:05:23.528]
forward slash media dash 23.
[00:05:26.379]
I know it's long, an easy way to get that
[00:05:28.428]
is to just go on our support site, which is support.gale.com
[00:05:30.500]
And then
[00:05:32.528]
in the toolbar, we have a full training
[00:05:34.559]
center developed for you
[00:05:36.259]
and then you click click content specific
[00:05:38.329]
materials and you're going to be taken to this full
[00:05:40.569]
media literacy page.
[00:05:43.149]
So you see here, we have everything nice and organized for
[00:05:45.178]
you. So you, we don't need you to click all the way through the support
[00:05:47.470]
site to kind of find different pieces in different sections.
[00:05:50.199]
You go to this one page and I want to point
[00:05:52.298]
out here that we have a tip
[00:05:54.329]
sheet created for a gal in context for educators.
[00:05:56.869]
So anyone on the line who has that resource,
[00:05:59.048]
we've actually built you out a whole folder
[00:06:01.088]
that you can just kind of steal from us and keep it on
[00:06:03.170]
your account to use.
[00:06:04.970]
In addition to that, we've built out three activity
[00:06:07.358]
packets for students as well.
[00:06:09.858]
So we have all of this great material found here
[00:06:11.939]
on this media, media literacy week. And
[00:06:14.160]
what we've decided to do is we've really
[00:06:16.178]
digging into the resource, digging in,
[00:06:18.269]
digged in,
[00:06:19.399]
we dove into the resource and found
[00:06:21.639]
different pieces of content that are going to
[00:06:23.720]
directly relate to those topics and we've built
[00:06:25.838]
out activities around those. So these
[00:06:28.028]
are really leveraging the in
[00:06:30.108]
context resources as opposed to kind of,
[00:06:32.160]
you know, using in context on the side,
[00:06:34.278]
these really utilize those
[00:06:36.519]
and require students to understand how
[00:06:38.809]
to work through our resources, how to work through our database,
[00:06:41.269]
build their search terms, their browsing options and things
[00:06:43.428]
like that. So
[00:06:45.559]
let's take a quick look here.
[00:06:47.750]
So I'll first mention we've built a three activity
[00:06:49.970]
packets, one each for our core
[00:06:52.009]
in context resources. So Galen
[00:06:54.069]
context, elementary Galen, context,
[00:06:56.108]
middle school and Galen context,
[00:06:58.160]
high school
[00:06:59.600]
and the first page of each of these packets, first
[00:07:01.670]
couple pages are going to be
[00:07:03.689]
basic information for you as educators.
[00:07:05.829]
So just telling you the grade level
[00:07:08.019]
and things like that and then our suggested lesson
[00:07:10.309]
progression
[00:07:11.920]
and this is going to vary based on your
[00:07:14.069]
needs. we've tried to make these
[00:07:16.379]
activities really as flexible as possible.
[00:07:18.809]
So, if you want to use them as just
[00:07:20.879]
a bell ringer for a certain day, maybe you can do
[00:07:23.009]
that. If you want to extend it out to a full
[00:07:25.019]
hour, you can do that as well. You
[00:07:27.059]
could even probably extend it out to more than one day
[00:07:29.199]
if you're so inclined. But, we
[00:07:31.338]
set the base as activities that can be CRE
[00:07:33.509]
that can be completed in
[00:07:35.559]
one day in one class.
[00:07:38.019]
And then you can kind of decide where to go from that,
[00:07:42.160]
excuse me.
[00:07:43.309]
And you can take a look here. So once you get through
[00:07:45.329]
kind of the instructions for you, you'll start
[00:07:47.338]
to see the activities all pulled together for each
[00:07:49.410]
different day. So, for this, I've
[00:07:51.459]
pulled forward, you'll see we have here, these are actually
[00:07:53.910]
trading cards that students will complete. So let's
[00:07:55.959]
take a look at these different topics
[00:07:58.119]
that are going to be found in whichever resource
[00:08:00.428]
they're using. So, whatever grade level
[00:08:02.709]
and they're going to fill out information for those other
[00:08:04.949]
activities, you'll find things like graphic
[00:08:07.028]
organizers. So for this, they're trying to determine
[00:08:09.629]
the difference between a fact and an
[00:08:11.699]
opinion and kind of figure
[00:08:14.379]
out as they read through different pieces of content.
[00:08:17.108]
If it is, in fact a piece
[00:08:19.189]
focused on someone's opinion or if it is
[00:08:21.488]
a factual
[00:08:22.829]
bit of information.
[00:08:25.928]
Now in addition to those specifically for
[00:08:28.059]
the in context resources,
[00:08:30.048]
we've got this great tip sheet for gay only context
[00:08:32.538]
for educators. So if you do have that
[00:08:34.599]
resource and you want to get engaged with that,
[00:08:37.080]
we've got this tip sheet here that's actually got two
[00:08:39.139]
QR codes attached. This first
[00:08:41.500]
one has our built out ready to go
[00:08:43.599]
folder available to you. If you scan it in,
[00:08:46.210]
it's going to pop up in your instance
[00:08:48.229]
of gal and context for educators, you'll just sign in
[00:08:50.279]
and have your own access to that folder.
[00:08:52.739]
And we also have a link directly just to the media
[00:08:54.908]
literacy week activities here as well.
[00:08:58.700]
So just a quick sneak peek here if you do decide
[00:09:01.149]
to use the Galen context for educators folder,
[00:09:03.729]
this is what it looks like here. So you'll see we've broken
[00:09:05.989]
out the activity based on high school,
[00:09:08.029]
middle school and elementary using our nested
[00:09:10.250]
folders option within our main
[00:09:12.288]
folder. And then out underneath,
[00:09:14.408]
we have the link to that full theme page
[00:09:16.649]
that I just showed you in the previous slide
[00:09:18.678]
where you'll see all of the different packets
[00:09:21.489]
available
[00:09:23.080]
and all of the different bits of content.
[00:09:25.219]
We've also included a link to the me media
[00:09:27.678]
literacy week websites
[00:09:30.288]
that you can click in to get a little more information
[00:09:32.629]
about the week and the um the observances
[00:09:35.058]
and celebrations and materials and support
[00:09:37.200]
that's available to you there. And we've also
[00:09:39.450]
included, you'll see on my tags listed here.
[00:09:41.830]
We've included a few different lesson plans
[00:09:44.109]
that are found natively within
[00:09:46.389]
gal and context for educators. So if
[00:09:48.619]
our lesson packets aren't exactly what you're
[00:09:50.729]
looking for.
[00:09:51.989]
If you take a look at gal and context for educators,
[00:09:54.099]
we've got a few others listed here that might be
[00:09:56.129]
beneficial for you that you can kind of swap
[00:09:58.460]
out as needed.
[00:09:59.769]
We definitely want you to feel
[00:10:01.820]
free to edit any activities,
[00:10:03.849]
lessons we give you, of course, you do not need to sit
[00:10:05.979]
with exactly what we've done. We want you
[00:10:08.019]
to make it exactly what your students
[00:10:10.029]
and what you at your learning community need.
[00:10:12.830]
So let's go ahead and jump in.
[00:10:14.960]
Oops, we have a quick question here. I
[00:10:16.969]
started late.
[00:10:21.190]
So we have a question about how you can access the folder
[00:10:23.538]
besides the link posted. Um
[00:10:25.629]
So if you're talking about the gallon context for
[00:10:27.678]
educators folder,
[00:10:29.879]
you'll want to go on this tip sheet
[00:10:31.710]
and scan this QR code or you can
[00:10:33.830]
hit this here button that's hyperlink the
[00:10:36.070]
activity. Um If you're talking about
[00:10:38.219]
just the media literacy page
[00:10:40.229]
as a whole, um I'm actually gonna
[00:10:42.509]
jump into that right now so we can take a look
[00:10:44.619]
at that.
[00:10:47.250]
I see you were interrupted by a student. I
[00:10:49.389]
feel that pain.
[00:10:51.119]
So let's go ahead and jump in. So,
[00:10:53.229]
again, the material is going to be found
[00:10:55.330]
on our support site, which is support.gale.com
[00:10:57.389]
Pretty simple.
[00:10:59.808]
Um From there, you're going to want to hit
[00:11:01.928]
the training center option in this
[00:11:03.960]
toolbar up top here.
[00:11:06.599]
And then the last option here is content
[00:11:08.710]
specific materials.
[00:11:11.840]
So what we do is we actually build content for a lot
[00:11:14.070]
of different themes or celebrations
[00:11:16.308]
or observances that are going on throughout the year.
[00:11:19.529]
You'll see if I scroll down here. We do organize
[00:11:21.570]
them by month and we have some general themes
[00:11:23.918]
underneath here as well. So I
[00:11:26.000]
definitely suggest taking a look if you've not been on
[00:11:28.119]
this page before,
[00:11:30.048]
scroll back up here.
[00:11:31.729]
And we, we decide to feature different
[00:11:34.500]
themes kind of as they come up. So we
[00:11:36.548]
have our October themes featured.
[00:11:38.719]
Now, we did something about banned
[00:11:40.889]
books week, which was October
[00:11:42.899]
1st through the seventh and then you'll see,
[00:11:44.918]
we have media literacy right here. So
[00:11:47.058]
it is featured after October. It's
[00:11:49.119]
going to jump down
[00:11:50.820]
just to being here on October option.
[00:11:53.788]
But again, right now it's featured.
[00:11:55.960]
So he hit media literacy week
[00:11:58.178]
2023.
[00:12:02.788]
Now this is that full theme page. So this is
[00:12:04.798]
where you're going and find all of this content.
[00:12:07.719]
And Yep, Lenore, there will be a recording. You'll
[00:12:09.859]
get a copy of it via email tomorrow. So
[00:12:11.940]
if those students keep bugging you, you'll
[00:12:14.229]
get a copy tomorrow, so you'll be able to find everything you
[00:12:16.288]
need.
[00:12:19.678]
So this is the main theme page here. So you'll
[00:12:21.729]
see we've chosen to show you which resources
[00:12:23.899]
we're highlighting. So those core and context
[00:12:26.320]
resources all the way from elementary to high school
[00:12:29.090]
and then Galen context for educators as well.
[00:12:31.389]
We built on con built out content there.
[00:12:34.889]
Scrolling down. This tip sheet is going to be
[00:12:37.009]
that one. If you want to access the gal and context
[00:12:39.219]
for educators folder, you'll see the QR
[00:12:41.330]
code and the hyperlink here for that
[00:12:47.048]
scrolling down here. You'll see we have our
[00:12:49.168]
upcoming media literacy week 2023
[00:12:51.690]
webinar which is actually running right now.
[00:12:53.820]
Once we're done with this session, this will actually
[00:12:55.918]
pop over to the recording. So not
[00:12:58.058]
only will you get a copy of the recording via email,
[00:13:00.359]
it'll also be posted here on this
[00:13:02.399]
themes page. So if you want to take a look back here, it'll
[00:13:04.428]
be listed for you.
[00:13:06.950]
And then at the very bottom here, this is where those
[00:13:09.178]
three activity packets are going to be located
[00:13:11.460]
for you. And we have again broken them up elementary,
[00:13:13.840]
middle and high school. You can click
[00:13:16.058]
our little view button here. We'll go to middle
[00:13:18.090]
school since that's right in the middle of our grade
[00:13:20.259]
band and
[00:13:23.029]
it is loaded up here as a PDF. You'll see you'll be
[00:13:25.119]
able to download this PDF or if you want
[00:13:27.279]
to print it directly, you can do that here as well.
[00:13:30.129]
Scrolling down. There are a little bit long, you see this is
[00:13:32.178]
eight pages, but mostly because we have one page
[00:13:34.408]
per day. So again, at the
[00:13:36.469]
beginning is kind of the teacher info. So the
[00:13:38.538]
basic information for you, how we suggest
[00:13:41.269]
you move through this
[00:13:43.469]
this activity.
[00:13:44.769]
And I will mention if you don't have Galen context
[00:13:47.139]
middle school, you can certainly use these activities
[00:13:49.529]
with something else. Um But they have been
[00:13:51.710]
designed specifically utilizing gal and context
[00:13:54.099]
middle school content. So they are really
[00:13:56.178]
specific towards that
[00:13:57.690]
but feel free to use with whatever you
[00:13:59.739]
think would work best.
[00:14:02.639]
So we go through this here, let me scroll down a little
[00:14:04.690]
bit. You'll notice on some of these here, we
[00:14:06.830]
suggest using different links. So this one
[00:14:08.849]
has right here, a link to
[00:14:11.178]
a specific document found within Galen context,
[00:14:13.428]
middle school. This one is called fact first opinion.
[00:14:16.389]
Some of them are also suggesting
[00:14:18.619]
accessing topic pages. We're going to take
[00:14:20.820]
a look at topic pages in a second. But
[00:14:23.048]
basically topic pages are going to pull all
[00:14:25.298]
of the content related to one topic
[00:14:27.369]
together to make a really easy kind of a landing
[00:14:29.418]
point for students. These are great to
[00:14:31.580]
use as you move through these activities because you
[00:14:33.599]
won't need to instruct students on
[00:14:35.759]
how, how to find the exact content that they're looking
[00:14:37.918]
for. A lot of times it's a nice way to get them started
[00:14:39.979]
with their research
[00:14:42.389]
and then scrolling down. This is where you're going to start seeing
[00:14:44.570]
the different activities here. So for the middle school
[00:14:47.048]
activity packet, we
[00:14:49.349]
start off day one just with some trading
[00:14:51.599]
cards here. So you see this is the front and then
[00:14:53.719]
the back. They're going to answer a few questions
[00:14:55.739]
about these different topics. Scrolling
[00:14:58.399]
down day two, we have, tell me about a document.
[00:15:00.639]
So this is where they're going to kind
[00:15:02.759]
of analyze that document. tell us the name,
[00:15:05.308]
pull out that citation
[00:15:07.619]
and then give us that basic information.
[00:15:09.859]
And then underneath, we've got day three, which
[00:15:12.090]
is moving forward from analyzing to evaluating.
[00:15:14.450]
So this is where they're going to evaluate,
[00:15:16.469]
if this document is giving them facts
[00:15:18.658]
or if it's giving them opinions,
[00:15:22.599]
we've got to create something next.
[00:15:25.099]
And then our, at the
[00:15:27.178]
very end here, we've got our last
[00:15:29.649]
kind of act section. So for this
[00:15:31.849]
is actually a scavenger hunt within Galen context,
[00:15:34.210]
middle school. And this one is using
[00:15:36.320]
a specific topic page, not completely
[00:15:38.330]
required, but a lot easier to work through the scavenger
[00:15:40.750]
hunt with it and they'll just go
[00:15:42.769]
through and answer these questions.
[00:15:45.158]
So that's everything in a nutshell. Everything you're going
[00:15:47.308]
to need is in this one file. again,
[00:15:49.788]
you can download it to your computer if you prefer
[00:15:52.038]
or you can print it directly to kind of save
[00:15:54.109]
it that way, whichever way works best
[00:15:56.250]
for you, works best for us. So they'll all be found
[00:15:58.489]
here. Let me jump back
[00:16:01.950]
and you can access any of them. So if you're working
[00:16:04.269]
and you want you know, you work,
[00:16:06.590]
let's say fifth through seventh grade
[00:16:08.808]
students, we'll say, and you know, your younger level
[00:16:11.250]
students may need the elementary one. You can
[00:16:13.320]
download the elementary and you're a higher
[00:16:15.408]
level. They're going to need the middle school packet. You can
[00:16:17.428]
download that one as well. You could download all three
[00:16:19.479]
if you want to. They're all free and
[00:16:21.580]
ready for you to use and they're going to be on the support
[00:16:23.719]
site for as long as you need them.
[00:16:27.349]
Now, any questions at all about how we've organized
[00:16:29.658]
this, about the activities,
[00:16:32.899]
anything at all?
[00:16:38.590]
Ok. Well, I don't see any. So let me go ahead
[00:16:40.820]
and jump back here
[00:16:42.580]
to my slides
[00:16:44.599]
because I want to talk about topic
[00:16:46.950]
pages. So if you are planning on using these activities,
[00:16:50.000]
topic pages, I love the idea of
[00:16:52.029]
letting these guide you
[00:16:53.889]
because what we've done is we've highlighted some of
[00:16:56.048]
the key topics
[00:16:57.658]
that are most studied, most utilized
[00:17:00.279]
most closely aligned to curriculum
[00:17:03.129]
related to media, media literacy.
[00:17:05.140]
And we do have topic pages in all three of
[00:17:07.239]
these resources. So, Galen
[00:17:08.838]
conduct elementary, middle school and high school
[00:17:11.920]
and you see, I've listed a few down here, but
[00:17:14.358]
we have quite a few different options
[00:17:16.438]
within Gael and context elementary. You'll find some things
[00:17:18.557]
that are a little bit more basic, of course,
[00:17:20.989]
aged for that one through five
[00:17:23.337]
grade level student, things like computers,
[00:17:25.489]
video games, social media and the internet.
[00:17:29.779]
And we have a quick question here. Can you share the URL
[00:17:31.868]
link to access these resources? Um
[00:17:34.368]
So
[00:17:36.529]
anonymous attendee. Yes. Give me
[00:17:38.660]
a second here. Um Once we end off
[00:17:40.868]
the day, I'll copy and paste the link into the
[00:17:43.199]
chat for you. Otherwise you'll
[00:17:45.250]
get, we'll get it in the email follow up. But I will
[00:17:47.390]
post that there for you.
[00:17:49.019]
If you're talking about
[00:17:50.559]
the actual gale in context
[00:17:52.689]
resources, those who need to get from
[00:17:54.900]
your, whoever handles your gale resources
[00:17:57.529]
or your customer success manager can help
[00:17:59.689]
you out with that and I'll give you their information at the end of
[00:18:01.709]
the session as well.
[00:18:07.459]
So yeah, moving
[00:18:09.699]
forward from Gael and Context Elementary, you'll see
[00:18:11.719]
things start to get a little bit more advanced
[00:18:14.049]
as you move through these resources, which
[00:18:16.150]
of course we've tried to do based on the
[00:18:18.189]
age ranges. So as students progress and
[00:18:20.259]
start to become a little more
[00:18:22.348]
savvy with their learning and with their reso
[00:18:24.618]
research, they're going to find more advanced
[00:18:26.884]
tools and you'll see they almost look
[00:18:29.255]
identical on this page. Of course
[00:18:31.664]
gel and Context elementary is a little bit more visual
[00:18:33.854]
since it's built for our, our young
[00:18:36.255]
students, our little kids but as
[00:18:38.295]
they get older, you'll see gel and context, middle
[00:18:40.414]
school and high school look almost
[00:18:42.614]
identical. So they're going to find
[00:18:44.824]
kind of that same feel and look of the topic
[00:18:46.943]
pages
[00:18:47.924]
just with higher content level once
[00:18:50.005]
they get to gal and context high school.
[00:18:52.414]
So let me show you how this looks just so you kind of see
[00:18:54.473]
how students
[00:18:56.229]
might access this information. Once you get them
[00:18:58.368]
into a resource, I'm just gonna
[00:19:00.459]
click into Gle and Context high
[00:19:02.608]
school today.
[00:19:04.299]
Um But it'll work the same within Galen context,
[00:19:06.670]
middle school as well, slightly different for
[00:19:08.868]
gel and context elementary just because again,
[00:19:10.930]
it's leveled for our elementary kids.
[00:19:13.150]
But we've got our topic pages listed
[00:19:15.170]
on the home page here. I'll point out for this month
[00:19:17.279]
we've actually pulled forward artificial intelligence
[00:19:19.750]
as one of our highlighted topics. Of
[00:19:21.959]
course, that works really well for this week. But just
[00:19:24.650]
learning in general, of course A I has really
[00:19:26.910]
kind of
[00:19:28.049]
come to the forefront really of everyone's mind.
[00:19:30.059]
Everyone's talking about A I, everyone
[00:19:32.309]
wants to use A I, everyone's slightly
[00:19:34.420]
afraid of A I. So we've decided to pull
[00:19:36.598]
that topic page forward up top here.
[00:19:38.750]
If students want to investigate,
[00:19:40.689]
we've also got the full list down
[00:19:43.209]
here as well. So when we're talking about media
[00:19:45.348]
literacy, for the most part, they're going
[00:19:47.390]
to find information under science and health
[00:19:49.979]
and social issues because of course,
[00:19:52.199]
a lot of media literacy is circling around,
[00:19:55.108]
you know, cyber bullying fake news, things like
[00:19:57.269]
that. They'll find that information under social
[00:19:59.650]
issues.
[00:20:01.140]
But let's just click into our artificial
[00:20:03.189]
intelligence topic page here. I'm gonna
[00:20:05.279]
explore this topic. Oops,
[00:20:07.539]
I left it sitting for too long. There we go. So I hit,
[00:20:09.769]
explore this topic and now this is
[00:20:11.809]
the topic page for artificial intelligence.
[00:20:13.890]
So if you do decide to start your students on these
[00:20:16.118]
topic pages
[00:20:17.439]
at the top of the page, they're going to get an overview
[00:20:19.759]
of just the background of the the
[00:20:21.930]
topic. So they kind of get their footing a little bit
[00:20:25.160]
and then underneath, they're going to get all of this
[00:20:27.229]
great content that we've pulled forward into different
[00:20:29.348]
content buckets here. So you'll see. We've got, our reference
[00:20:31.739]
works are pulled forward,
[00:20:33.318]
images are pulled separate. We've got great
[00:20:35.410]
videos, audio files,
[00:20:37.449]
audio files are a lot of podcasts available
[00:20:39.549]
to students, our magazine and news.
[00:20:41.789]
And if I scroll to the bottom,
[00:20:44.509]
there we go. We also have related topics
[00:20:46.920]
to help students move forward. So if they maybe
[00:20:49.098]
want to talk to learn about Google or
[00:20:51.118]
compare Google and Microsoft, they
[00:20:53.130]
can do that right here. If they want to take a look at Apple
[00:20:55.539]
that's listed here as a related topic as well.
[00:20:58.549]
It's kind of help them move forward
[00:21:00.519]
and a really nice feature. I want to point out if
[00:21:02.588]
you do pull these topic pages for students
[00:21:04.989]
and want to share them. If you use
[00:21:07.059]
this, get link button up top here in this toolbar.
[00:21:10.088]
This is gonna provide them with a persistent
[00:21:12.219]
URL. So this isn't gonna break.
[00:21:14.489]
And then you'll notice it's a lot shorter than what's
[00:21:16.559]
found in the search bar as well.
[00:21:18.699]
But you can share this out with students. You can put
[00:21:20.709]
it in a syllabus, you can share in an email, you
[00:21:22.769]
can put it in your discussion board post. And
[00:21:25.000]
soon as we're able to click in here and we launched right
[00:21:27.068]
to this topic page and then can start
[00:21:29.348]
kind of researching on their own. So if
[00:21:31.410]
you do want kind of that targeted learning,
[00:21:33.828]
maybe you're not ready to have them flow all
[00:21:36.078]
the way through the resource. You're a little bit afraid they might get
[00:21:38.108]
a bit overwhelmed.
[00:21:40.269]
This link will get them right
[00:21:42.328]
here in a more
[00:21:43.729]
controlled area.
[00:21:47.259]
We have another question here about the costs and fees.
[00:21:49.729]
Um So if you're talking about costs of the
[00:21:51.779]
resources, um I can give
[00:21:53.828]
you out your information for your um
[00:21:56.949]
your sales consultant and they can work with you
[00:21:58.959]
and work with your learning community. So I'll have
[00:22:01.078]
that at the end of the session for you.
[00:22:03.459]
If you're talking about the media literacy, support
[00:22:05.630]
materials on the support site, those are completely
[00:22:07.660]
free and open for you to use as needed.
[00:22:10.358]
Um
[00:22:11.500]
So again, hold to the very end of the session,
[00:22:13.729]
I'll give you the information for your sales
[00:22:16.029]
consultants.
[00:22:17.130]
and then you'll be able to reach out to them to kind of get
[00:22:19.199]
a better understanding of costs and things like that.
[00:22:26.189]
And then we have another question. Um One of our content
[00:22:28.608]
buckets is listed as featured
[00:22:30.838]
contents
[00:22:32.578]
found here.
[00:22:34.000]
So we have a question, what determines that it's featured
[00:22:36.358]
content. So that's actually our content development
[00:22:38.479]
team. So generally it's going to depend on what's
[00:22:40.500]
going on. Um If something big happens in the
[00:22:42.588]
world of A I, then they may choose to
[00:22:44.640]
pull that forward as a featured bit of content.
[00:22:46.799]
So students can find it more easily.
[00:22:48.689]
Generally, featured contents are
[00:22:50.880]
going to fall into the reference bucket.
[00:22:52.939]
Sometimes. Um you'll see these, we have
[00:22:54.949]
a couple audio files, so sometimes they may
[00:22:56.989]
be multimedia content,
[00:22:59.348]
but it's just pieces of content that are
[00:23:01.390]
normally found within these other buckets that are
[00:23:03.479]
still there, but that we've chosen to pull forward
[00:23:06.150]
because, you know, something new happened
[00:23:08.239]
related to that specific topic or
[00:23:10.559]
it's, you know, something that's been really
[00:23:12.660]
prominent in the media recently. So it's
[00:23:14.838]
decided by our product
[00:23:16.890]
and our content teams.
[00:23:23.910]
OK. And before we get off, I do
[00:23:25.979]
want to mention that your students can also search
[00:23:28.160]
for topic pages. So I'm going
[00:23:30.318]
to start a search here, let's say
[00:23:32.410]
for cybersecurity, just so you can kind of see how
[00:23:34.578]
this functions. if they are searching
[00:23:36.900]
for something, you'll see, we have two B
[00:23:39.368]
options at the top of my predictive text
[00:23:41.420]
here. Anytime they see this bolded option,
[00:23:43.779]
those are topic pages that we've already created.
[00:23:46.009]
So if they're planning on searching for cybersecurity,
[00:23:49.000]
instead of kind of pulling just your standard
[00:23:51.250]
search results page, they can click on this
[00:23:53.469]
bolded option.
[00:23:56.739]
And now there we go, they're pulled directly to
[00:23:58.789]
this topic page here.
[00:24:01.769]
So another quick way to access those topic pages
[00:24:04.279]
without having to kind of search through a whole lot
[00:24:06.358]
of content. If they run a search, they see that
[00:24:08.500]
bolded text, click on it, they'll be taken
[00:24:10.568]
to the page and then you'll see it's laid out just
[00:24:12.699]
like the other one. Our related topics at the bottom
[00:24:15.229]
are content buckets in between
[00:24:18.160]
and then our overview at the very top
[00:24:20.199]
here. Now,
[00:24:24.588]
I'm going to go ahead and jump back to my sides once
[00:24:26.930]
more here
[00:24:28.799]
because that's what I have for you guys today.
[00:24:31.809]
And again, I'll put the information in a follow
[00:24:34.068]
up email for you, excuse me,
[00:24:36.799]
um,
[00:24:38.108]
with a link to that support content
[00:24:40.279]
on the support site. And you know, we had a question
[00:24:42.539]
about cost and access to the resources.
[00:24:45.309]
Um You were an anonymous attendee.
[00:24:47.809]
So I can't give you specific information.
[00:24:50.118]
But um to get that information, reach
[00:24:52.318]
out to your sales consultant. If you don't know who that
[00:24:54.368]
is, you can, you can go
[00:24:56.380]
to support.gale.com/repfinder
[00:24:58.559]
You'll put in your learning community's
[00:25:00.680]
information, you'll be forwarded to the correct
[00:25:02.880]
individual. Or if you like, you can email
[00:25:04.969]
me directly after the session. I
[00:25:06.989]
can give you the exact information you
[00:25:09.108]
get a follow up email from me. So I'll be able
[00:25:11.219]
to excuse me, quickly respond
[00:25:13.318]
back to you as well.
[00:25:14.779]
You will also have access to your customer
[00:25:16.838]
success manager. So if you want to talk about
[00:25:18.949]
this a little more specifically
[00:25:21.368]
related to your learn learning community, feel
[00:25:23.380]
free to reach out to them. If you don't know who that is.
[00:25:25.729]
[email protected]
[00:25:27.890]
you'll get that correct information there.
[00:25:30.358]
Again, our support site is
[00:25:32.430]
support.gale.com
[00:25:34.410]
and I do have a training session survey. So if you
[00:25:36.479]
have the time to take that, I would love to hear your thoughts
[00:25:38.779]
on the session today. If there's something
[00:25:40.979]
that wasn't covered, that you would have preferred to be covered
[00:25:43.259]
if you had to have feedback about the materials
[00:25:45.809]
we've made, We'd love to hear that this QR
[00:25:48.078]
code is active if you wanna scan it.
[00:25:50.059]
So I'll go ahead and end the session for today. Then
[00:25:52.140]
I appreciate you all for being here again and
[00:25:54.358]
hopefully we'll see you in future gale trainings.
Welcome in everyone. Today. We're
[00:00:07.509]
going to be talking about media literacy week
[00:00:09.819]
and how you could teach with Gale. My name
[00:00:12.000]
is Amber Winters. I'm glad to have you on the line
[00:00:14.220]
today. We have a brief agenda.
[00:00:16.658]
So, first, I wanna talk about media literacy
[00:00:18.879]
week 2023. What it is,
[00:00:21.079]
the theme that we've, that's they've
[00:00:23.519]
chosen to highlight and then we'll start talking about
[00:00:25.798]
some of the different tools that we've created to help
[00:00:27.839]
you teach to that theme.
[00:00:29.510]
And then at the very end of the session, we'll have
[00:00:31.539]
time again for any questions that I'm not able to
[00:00:33.598]
answer as we move through the session today.
[00:00:36.329]
And I've got some wrap up contact information
[00:00:38.418]
for you as well if you need to dive a little bit deeper
[00:00:40.478]
into what we've talked about today.
[00:00:43.500]
So first, let's just talk about media literacy
[00:00:45.618]
week as a whole. So media literacy week
[00:00:47.848]
is run every October this
[00:00:49.918]
year it runs this year is 2023
[00:00:52.219]
for anyone watching this recording. This
[00:00:54.289]
year it runs from October 23rd
[00:00:56.590]
to October 27th and
[00:00:58.770]
it's hosted every year by the National association
[00:01:01.340]
for media literacy education.
[00:01:03.840]
And this year, they've actually chosen five key
[00:01:06.138]
topics that they're going to highlight throughout the week. So
[00:01:08.250]
they've chosen to highlight one topic for
[00:01:10.549]
every day. So that's what girls decided to do as
[00:01:12.668]
well. And we've kind of
[00:01:14.219]
developed our lesson plans that we've created
[00:01:16.349]
for you based on those five topics. So
[00:01:18.609]
the first is going to be access. So
[00:01:20.790]
how and where and how often people
[00:01:23.028]
access technology
[00:01:24.629]
and this topic, they're also talking about
[00:01:26.638]
things like the digital divide, how it's disproportionately
[00:01:29.638]
affects different demographics and
[00:01:32.049]
how that can be combated a little bit
[00:01:34.338]
Tuesday. So the next day
[00:01:36.230]
is focused on analyzing. So once students
[00:01:38.569]
find a piece of content, they need to understand
[00:01:41.198]
who wrote it, the validity of that
[00:01:43.308]
piece of content, what the context is?
[00:01:45.558]
Is there a bias related to that content
[00:01:47.638]
that they can see? Is there an agenda by the author?
[00:01:50.599]
They're going to start to take a look at that piece
[00:01:52.989]
of content and really kind of understand where
[00:01:55.569]
it's coming from and um what
[00:01:57.909]
it's suggesting
[00:02:00.198]
then Wednesday, we're taking a look at how they
[00:02:02.299]
can evaluate that piece of content.
[00:02:04.329]
So that's really moving forward with critical
[00:02:06.459]
thinking skills, kind of incorporating those
[00:02:08.788]
as students kind of
[00:02:10.868]
build an understanding of the background of
[00:02:12.949]
this piece of text, they're going to work to draw their
[00:02:15.020]
own conclusions based on it. So if
[00:02:17.169]
this is an opinion piece do you agree with the opinion?
[00:02:19.625]
Do you think that the individual made
[00:02:22.085]
a solid argument for what they believe if this isn't
[00:02:24.133]
an opinion piece? Do you think that
[00:02:26.194]
any of the information is misleading? Do you think that
[00:02:28.625]
maybe context is missing from that piece
[00:02:30.683]
of text? So this step on Wednesday
[00:02:32.865]
is really helping students engage their critical
[00:02:35.175]
thinking skills
[00:02:36.895]
and move forward from just, you know, reading
[00:02:39.463]
a piece of text and just kind of taking it at face
[00:02:41.683]
value. It's really helping them dig in a little bit deeper
[00:02:44.449]
then Thursday, which is day four, they're
[00:02:46.588]
talking more about creation. So now that students
[00:02:48.679]
understand um how to access
[00:02:50.838]
content that's been created for them. Now
[00:02:53.159]
they're going to kind of take a step back and understand
[00:02:55.229]
how to create content on their own.
[00:02:57.379]
So, of course, this is going to include
[00:02:59.740]
the actual process of creating materials.
[00:03:02.038]
So how blogs work social media,
[00:03:04.159]
how to upload videos and things like that.
[00:03:07.129]
But it's also focused on students understanding
[00:03:09.469]
what happens to that content, how
[00:03:11.550]
the internet's really permanent. So
[00:03:13.710]
they need to be aware of the content that they're
[00:03:15.849]
creating and the content they're putting out there.
[00:03:18.020]
And this also gives them a second to kind of step
[00:03:20.219]
back and see if they have any agendas
[00:03:22.330]
or biases that are impacting their creations as well.
[00:03:24.508]
Because sometimes it's difficult
[00:03:26.679]
for students to remember to kind of step back on their own
[00:03:28.758]
and evaluate their own opinions to see where
[00:03:30.788]
they may need to adjust their thinking
[00:03:33.219]
or kind of adjust what they're developing.
[00:03:35.610]
And finally day five or Friday,
[00:03:37.719]
which is the culmination of all of these other
[00:03:39.960]
days, of all of these other great topics.
[00:03:42.118]
That's the National Association for
[00:03:44.399]
Media Literacy Education has chosen to pull
[00:03:46.588]
forward. Day five is going to be a.
[00:03:48.758]
So we pull all of this together and now students
[00:03:51.118]
understand um how to access
[00:03:53.199]
content, how other people are accessing or
[00:03:55.258]
maybe not accessing content, they
[00:03:57.278]
know how to analyze and evaluate that content,
[00:04:00.210]
they know how to create new content. So
[00:04:02.250]
now they need to pull all of that together
[00:04:04.719]
to kind of challenge the status quo to
[00:04:06.830]
empower others to find individuals
[00:04:09.028]
who are maybe kind of sinking
[00:04:11.169]
in that digital divide a little bit and help bring
[00:04:13.229]
them to the technology. They need how
[00:04:15.379]
to get that kind of information
[00:04:17.619]
out to others as well as how to fight false
[00:04:19.949]
information. Because of course, with media literacy,
[00:04:22.290]
one of the
[00:04:23.579]
the key topics that we're focused on now
[00:04:25.920]
really across the US and across the world
[00:04:28.410]
is the idea of false information
[00:04:30.519]
being kind of propagated through social media
[00:04:32.600]
and through other outlets. So
[00:04:34.278]
this act is really pulling it together
[00:04:36.970]
to help students understand. Once they find
[00:04:39.129]
that false information, they should
[00:04:41.178]
just keep that to themselves. How can they proactively
[00:04:43.480]
let people know this information is misleading.
[00:04:46.069]
This information is false. You know, you need to evaluate
[00:04:48.639]
this to kind of get a deeper understanding.
[00:04:51.079]
So day five, that Friday
[00:04:53.509]
they've developed into that act into that
[00:04:55.709]
moving forward, that actionable item for
[00:04:57.829]
students.
[00:05:01.459]
So again, gay has decided to base our
[00:05:03.488]
activity packets on those five
[00:05:05.809]
topics that they've chosen to pull forward
[00:05:08.369]
and I'll click into it live so you can see what they look
[00:05:10.389]
like, but just quickly. So you know how to
[00:05:12.410]
get to the information. I've put the
[00:05:14.569]
the link at the top here. It's a little bit long. So
[00:05:16.790]
don't worry about typing it all out.
[00:05:19.108]
But it is support.gale.com forward
[00:05:21.399]
slash training forward slash themes
[00:05:23.528]
forward slash media dash 23.
[00:05:26.379]
I know it's long, an easy way to get that
[00:05:28.428]
is to just go on our support site, which is support.gale.com
[00:05:30.500]
And then
[00:05:32.528]
in the toolbar, we have a full training
[00:05:34.559]
center developed for you
[00:05:36.259]
and then you click click content specific
[00:05:38.329]
materials and you're going to be taken to this full
[00:05:40.569]
media literacy page.
[00:05:43.149]
So you see here, we have everything nice and organized for
[00:05:45.178]
you. So you, we don't need you to click all the way through the support
[00:05:47.470]
site to kind of find different pieces in different sections.
[00:05:50.199]
You go to this one page and I want to point
[00:05:52.298]
out here that we have a tip
[00:05:54.329]
sheet created for a gal in context for educators.
[00:05:56.869]
So anyone on the line who has that resource,
[00:05:59.048]
we've actually built you out a whole folder
[00:06:01.088]
that you can just kind of steal from us and keep it on
[00:06:03.170]
your account to use.
[00:06:04.970]
In addition to that, we've built out three activity
[00:06:07.358]
packets for students as well.
[00:06:09.858]
So we have all of this great material found here
[00:06:11.939]
on this media, media literacy week. And
[00:06:14.160]
what we've decided to do is we've really
[00:06:16.178]
digging into the resource, digging in,
[00:06:18.269]
digged in,
[00:06:19.399]
we dove into the resource and found
[00:06:21.639]
different pieces of content that are going to
[00:06:23.720]
directly relate to those topics and we've built
[00:06:25.838]
out activities around those. So these
[00:06:28.028]
are really leveraging the in
[00:06:30.108]
context resources as opposed to kind of,
[00:06:32.160]
you know, using in context on the side,
[00:06:34.278]
these really utilize those
[00:06:36.519]
and require students to understand how
[00:06:38.809]
to work through our resources, how to work through our database,
[00:06:41.269]
build their search terms, their browsing options and things
[00:06:43.428]
like that. So
[00:06:45.559]
let's take a quick look here.
[00:06:47.750]
So I'll first mention we've built a three activity
[00:06:49.970]
packets, one each for our core
[00:06:52.009]
in context resources. So Galen
[00:06:54.069]
context, elementary Galen, context,
[00:06:56.108]
middle school and Galen context,
[00:06:58.160]
high school
[00:06:59.600]
and the first page of each of these packets, first
[00:07:01.670]
couple pages are going to be
[00:07:03.689]
basic information for you as educators.
[00:07:05.829]
So just telling you the grade level
[00:07:08.019]
and things like that and then our suggested lesson
[00:07:10.309]
progression
[00:07:11.920]
and this is going to vary based on your
[00:07:14.069]
needs. we've tried to make these
[00:07:16.379]
activities really as flexible as possible.
[00:07:18.809]
So, if you want to use them as just
[00:07:20.879]
a bell ringer for a certain day, maybe you can do
[00:07:23.009]
that. If you want to extend it out to a full
[00:07:25.019]
hour, you can do that as well. You
[00:07:27.059]
could even probably extend it out to more than one day
[00:07:29.199]
if you're so inclined. But, we
[00:07:31.338]
set the base as activities that can be CRE
[00:07:33.509]
that can be completed in
[00:07:35.559]
one day in one class.
[00:07:38.019]
And then you can kind of decide where to go from that,
[00:07:42.160]
excuse me.
[00:07:43.309]
And you can take a look here. So once you get through
[00:07:45.329]
kind of the instructions for you, you'll start
[00:07:47.338]
to see the activities all pulled together for each
[00:07:49.410]
different day. So, for this, I've
[00:07:51.459]
pulled forward, you'll see we have here, these are actually
[00:07:53.910]
trading cards that students will complete. So let's
[00:07:55.959]
take a look at these different topics
[00:07:58.119]
that are going to be found in whichever resource
[00:08:00.428]
they're using. So, whatever grade level
[00:08:02.709]
and they're going to fill out information for those other
[00:08:04.949]
activities, you'll find things like graphic
[00:08:07.028]
organizers. So for this, they're trying to determine
[00:08:09.629]
the difference between a fact and an
[00:08:11.699]
opinion and kind of figure
[00:08:14.379]
out as they read through different pieces of content.
[00:08:17.108]
If it is, in fact a piece
[00:08:19.189]
focused on someone's opinion or if it is
[00:08:21.488]
a factual
[00:08:22.829]
bit of information.
[00:08:25.928]
Now in addition to those specifically for
[00:08:28.059]
the in context resources,
[00:08:30.048]
we've got this great tip sheet for gay only context
[00:08:32.538]
for educators. So if you do have that
[00:08:34.599]
resource and you want to get engaged with that,
[00:08:37.080]
we've got this tip sheet here that's actually got two
[00:08:39.139]
QR codes attached. This first
[00:08:41.500]
one has our built out ready to go
[00:08:43.599]
folder available to you. If you scan it in,
[00:08:46.210]
it's going to pop up in your instance
[00:08:48.229]
of gal and context for educators, you'll just sign in
[00:08:50.279]
and have your own access to that folder.
[00:08:52.739]
And we also have a link directly just to the media
[00:08:54.908]
literacy week activities here as well.
[00:08:58.700]
So just a quick sneak peek here if you do decide
[00:09:01.149]
to use the Galen context for educators folder,
[00:09:03.729]
this is what it looks like here. So you'll see we've broken
[00:09:05.989]
out the activity based on high school,
[00:09:08.029]
middle school and elementary using our nested
[00:09:10.250]
folders option within our main
[00:09:12.288]
folder. And then out underneath,
[00:09:14.408]
we have the link to that full theme page
[00:09:16.649]
that I just showed you in the previous slide
[00:09:18.678]
where you'll see all of the different packets
[00:09:21.489]
available
[00:09:23.080]
and all of the different bits of content.
[00:09:25.219]
We've also included a link to the me media
[00:09:27.678]
literacy week websites
[00:09:30.288]
that you can click in to get a little more information
[00:09:32.629]
about the week and the um the observances
[00:09:35.058]
and celebrations and materials and support
[00:09:37.200]
that's available to you there. And we've also
[00:09:39.450]
included, you'll see on my tags listed here.
[00:09:41.830]
We've included a few different lesson plans
[00:09:44.109]
that are found natively within
[00:09:46.389]
gal and context for educators. So if
[00:09:48.619]
our lesson packets aren't exactly what you're
[00:09:50.729]
looking for.
[00:09:51.989]
If you take a look at gal and context for educators,
[00:09:54.099]
we've got a few others listed here that might be
[00:09:56.129]
beneficial for you that you can kind of swap
[00:09:58.460]
out as needed.
[00:09:59.769]
We definitely want you to feel
[00:10:01.820]
free to edit any activities,
[00:10:03.849]
lessons we give you, of course, you do not need to sit
[00:10:05.979]
with exactly what we've done. We want you
[00:10:08.019]
to make it exactly what your students
[00:10:10.029]
and what you at your learning community need.
[00:10:12.830]
So let's go ahead and jump in.
[00:10:14.960]
Oops, we have a quick question here. I
[00:10:16.969]
started late.
[00:10:21.190]
So we have a question about how you can access the folder
[00:10:23.538]
besides the link posted. Um
[00:10:25.629]
So if you're talking about the gallon context for
[00:10:27.678]
educators folder,
[00:10:29.879]
you'll want to go on this tip sheet
[00:10:31.710]
and scan this QR code or you can
[00:10:33.830]
hit this here button that's hyperlink the
[00:10:36.070]
activity. Um If you're talking about
[00:10:38.219]
just the media literacy page
[00:10:40.229]
as a whole, um I'm actually gonna
[00:10:42.509]
jump into that right now so we can take a look
[00:10:44.619]
at that.
[00:10:47.250]
I see you were interrupted by a student. I
[00:10:49.389]
feel that pain.
[00:10:51.119]
So let's go ahead and jump in. So,
[00:10:53.229]
again, the material is going to be found
[00:10:55.330]
on our support site, which is support.gale.com
[00:10:57.389]
Pretty simple.
[00:10:59.808]
Um From there, you're going to want to hit
[00:11:01.928]
the training center option in this
[00:11:03.960]
toolbar up top here.
[00:11:06.599]
And then the last option here is content
[00:11:08.710]
specific materials.
[00:11:11.840]
So what we do is we actually build content for a lot
[00:11:14.070]
of different themes or celebrations
[00:11:16.308]
or observances that are going on throughout the year.
[00:11:19.529]
You'll see if I scroll down here. We do organize
[00:11:21.570]
them by month and we have some general themes
[00:11:23.918]
underneath here as well. So I
[00:11:26.000]
definitely suggest taking a look if you've not been on
[00:11:28.119]
this page before,
[00:11:30.048]
scroll back up here.
[00:11:31.729]
And we, we decide to feature different
[00:11:34.500]
themes kind of as they come up. So we
[00:11:36.548]
have our October themes featured.
[00:11:38.719]
Now, we did something about banned
[00:11:40.889]
books week, which was October
[00:11:42.899]
1st through the seventh and then you'll see,
[00:11:44.918]
we have media literacy right here. So
[00:11:47.058]
it is featured after October. It's
[00:11:49.119]
going to jump down
[00:11:50.820]
just to being here on October option.
[00:11:53.788]
But again, right now it's featured.
[00:11:55.960]
So he hit media literacy week
[00:11:58.178]
2023.
[00:12:02.788]
Now this is that full theme page. So this is
[00:12:04.798]
where you're going and find all of this content.
[00:12:07.719]
And Yep, Lenore, there will be a recording. You'll
[00:12:09.859]
get a copy of it via email tomorrow. So
[00:12:11.940]
if those students keep bugging you, you'll
[00:12:14.229]
get a copy tomorrow, so you'll be able to find everything you
[00:12:16.288]
need.
[00:12:19.678]
So this is the main theme page here. So you'll
[00:12:21.729]
see we've chosen to show you which resources
[00:12:23.899]
we're highlighting. So those core and context
[00:12:26.320]
resources all the way from elementary to high school
[00:12:29.090]
and then Galen context for educators as well.
[00:12:31.389]
We built on con built out content there.
[00:12:34.889]
Scrolling down. This tip sheet is going to be
[00:12:37.009]
that one. If you want to access the gal and context
[00:12:39.219]
for educators folder, you'll see the QR
[00:12:41.330]
code and the hyperlink here for that
[00:12:47.048]
scrolling down here. You'll see we have our
[00:12:49.168]
upcoming media literacy week 2023
[00:12:51.690]
webinar which is actually running right now.
[00:12:53.820]
Once we're done with this session, this will actually
[00:12:55.918]
pop over to the recording. So not
[00:12:58.058]
only will you get a copy of the recording via email,
[00:13:00.359]
it'll also be posted here on this
[00:13:02.399]
themes page. So if you want to take a look back here, it'll
[00:13:04.428]
be listed for you.
[00:13:06.950]
And then at the very bottom here, this is where those
[00:13:09.178]
three activity packets are going to be located
[00:13:11.460]
for you. And we have again broken them up elementary,
[00:13:13.840]
middle and high school. You can click
[00:13:16.058]
our little view button here. We'll go to middle
[00:13:18.090]
school since that's right in the middle of our grade
[00:13:20.259]
band and
[00:13:23.029]
it is loaded up here as a PDF. You'll see you'll be
[00:13:25.119]
able to download this PDF or if you want
[00:13:27.279]
to print it directly, you can do that here as well.
[00:13:30.129]
Scrolling down. There are a little bit long, you see this is
[00:13:32.178]
eight pages, but mostly because we have one page
[00:13:34.408]
per day. So again, at the
[00:13:36.469]
beginning is kind of the teacher info. So the
[00:13:38.538]
basic information for you, how we suggest
[00:13:41.269]
you move through this
[00:13:43.469]
this activity.
[00:13:44.769]
And I will mention if you don't have Galen context
[00:13:47.139]
middle school, you can certainly use these activities
[00:13:49.529]
with something else. Um But they have been
[00:13:51.710]
designed specifically utilizing gal and context
[00:13:54.099]
middle school content. So they are really
[00:13:56.178]
specific towards that
[00:13:57.690]
but feel free to use with whatever you
[00:13:59.739]
think would work best.
[00:14:02.639]
So we go through this here, let me scroll down a little
[00:14:04.690]
bit. You'll notice on some of these here, we
[00:14:06.830]
suggest using different links. So this one
[00:14:08.849]
has right here, a link to
[00:14:11.178]
a specific document found within Galen context,
[00:14:13.428]
middle school. This one is called fact first opinion.
[00:14:16.389]
Some of them are also suggesting
[00:14:18.619]
accessing topic pages. We're going to take
[00:14:20.820]
a look at topic pages in a second. But
[00:14:23.048]
basically topic pages are going to pull all
[00:14:25.298]
of the content related to one topic
[00:14:27.369]
together to make a really easy kind of a landing
[00:14:29.418]
point for students. These are great to
[00:14:31.580]
use as you move through these activities because you
[00:14:33.599]
won't need to instruct students on
[00:14:35.759]
how, how to find the exact content that they're looking
[00:14:37.918]
for. A lot of times it's a nice way to get them started
[00:14:39.979]
with their research
[00:14:42.389]
and then scrolling down. This is where you're going to start seeing
[00:14:44.570]
the different activities here. So for the middle school
[00:14:47.048]
activity packet, we
[00:14:49.349]
start off day one just with some trading
[00:14:51.599]
cards here. So you see this is the front and then
[00:14:53.719]
the back. They're going to answer a few questions
[00:14:55.739]
about these different topics. Scrolling
[00:14:58.399]
down day two, we have, tell me about a document.
[00:15:00.639]
So this is where they're going to kind
[00:15:02.759]
of analyze that document. tell us the name,
[00:15:05.308]
pull out that citation
[00:15:07.619]
and then give us that basic information.
[00:15:09.859]
And then underneath, we've got day three, which
[00:15:12.090]
is moving forward from analyzing to evaluating.
[00:15:14.450]
So this is where they're going to evaluate,
[00:15:16.469]
if this document is giving them facts
[00:15:18.658]
or if it's giving them opinions,
[00:15:22.599]
we've got to create something next.
[00:15:25.099]
And then our, at the
[00:15:27.178]
very end here, we've got our last
[00:15:29.649]
kind of act section. So for this
[00:15:31.849]
is actually a scavenger hunt within Galen context,
[00:15:34.210]
middle school. And this one is using
[00:15:36.320]
a specific topic page, not completely
[00:15:38.330]
required, but a lot easier to work through the scavenger
[00:15:40.750]
hunt with it and they'll just go
[00:15:42.769]
through and answer these questions.
[00:15:45.158]
So that's everything in a nutshell. Everything you're going
[00:15:47.308]
to need is in this one file. again,
[00:15:49.788]
you can download it to your computer if you prefer
[00:15:52.038]
or you can print it directly to kind of save
[00:15:54.109]
it that way, whichever way works best
[00:15:56.250]
for you, works best for us. So they'll all be found
[00:15:58.489]
here. Let me jump back
[00:16:01.950]
and you can access any of them. So if you're working
[00:16:04.269]
and you want you know, you work,
[00:16:06.590]
let's say fifth through seventh grade
[00:16:08.808]
students, we'll say, and you know, your younger level
[00:16:11.250]
students may need the elementary one. You can
[00:16:13.320]
download the elementary and you're a higher
[00:16:15.408]
level. They're going to need the middle school packet. You can
[00:16:17.428]
download that one as well. You could download all three
[00:16:19.479]
if you want to. They're all free and
[00:16:21.580]
ready for you to use and they're going to be on the support
[00:16:23.719]
site for as long as you need them.
[00:16:27.349]
Now, any questions at all about how we've organized
[00:16:29.658]
this, about the activities,
[00:16:32.899]
anything at all?
[00:16:38.590]
Ok. Well, I don't see any. So let me go ahead
[00:16:40.820]
and jump back here
[00:16:42.580]
to my slides
[00:16:44.599]
because I want to talk about topic
[00:16:46.950]
pages. So if you are planning on using these activities,
[00:16:50.000]
topic pages, I love the idea of
[00:16:52.029]
letting these guide you
[00:16:53.889]
because what we've done is we've highlighted some of
[00:16:56.048]
the key topics
[00:16:57.658]
that are most studied, most utilized
[00:17:00.279]
most closely aligned to curriculum
[00:17:03.129]
related to media, media literacy.
[00:17:05.140]
And we do have topic pages in all three of
[00:17:07.239]
these resources. So, Galen
[00:17:08.838]
conduct elementary, middle school and high school
[00:17:11.920]
and you see, I've listed a few down here, but
[00:17:14.358]
we have quite a few different options
[00:17:16.438]
within Gael and context elementary. You'll find some things
[00:17:18.557]
that are a little bit more basic, of course,
[00:17:20.989]
aged for that one through five
[00:17:23.337]
grade level student, things like computers,
[00:17:25.489]
video games, social media and the internet.
[00:17:29.779]
And we have a quick question here. Can you share the URL
[00:17:31.868]
link to access these resources? Um
[00:17:34.368]
So
[00:17:36.529]
anonymous attendee. Yes. Give me
[00:17:38.660]
a second here. Um Once we end off
[00:17:40.868]
the day, I'll copy and paste the link into the
[00:17:43.199]
chat for you. Otherwise you'll
[00:17:45.250]
get, we'll get it in the email follow up. But I will
[00:17:47.390]
post that there for you.
[00:17:49.019]
If you're talking about
[00:17:50.559]
the actual gale in context
[00:17:52.689]
resources, those who need to get from
[00:17:54.900]
your, whoever handles your gale resources
[00:17:57.529]
or your customer success manager can help
[00:17:59.689]
you out with that and I'll give you their information at the end of
[00:18:01.709]
the session as well.
[00:18:07.459]
So yeah, moving
[00:18:09.699]
forward from Gael and Context Elementary, you'll see
[00:18:11.719]
things start to get a little bit more advanced
[00:18:14.049]
as you move through these resources, which
[00:18:16.150]
of course we've tried to do based on the
[00:18:18.189]
age ranges. So as students progress and
[00:18:20.259]
start to become a little more
[00:18:22.348]
savvy with their learning and with their reso
[00:18:24.618]
research, they're going to find more advanced
[00:18:26.884]
tools and you'll see they almost look
[00:18:29.255]
identical on this page. Of course
[00:18:31.664]
gel and Context elementary is a little bit more visual
[00:18:33.854]
since it's built for our, our young
[00:18:36.255]
students, our little kids but as
[00:18:38.295]
they get older, you'll see gel and context, middle
[00:18:40.414]
school and high school look almost
[00:18:42.614]
identical. So they're going to find
[00:18:44.824]
kind of that same feel and look of the topic
[00:18:46.943]
pages
[00:18:47.924]
just with higher content level once
[00:18:50.005]
they get to gal and context high school.
[00:18:52.414]
So let me show you how this looks just so you kind of see
[00:18:54.473]
how students
[00:18:56.229]
might access this information. Once you get them
[00:18:58.368]
into a resource, I'm just gonna
[00:19:00.459]
click into Gle and Context high
[00:19:02.608]
school today.
[00:19:04.299]
Um But it'll work the same within Galen context,
[00:19:06.670]
middle school as well, slightly different for
[00:19:08.868]
gel and context elementary just because again,
[00:19:10.930]
it's leveled for our elementary kids.
[00:19:13.150]
But we've got our topic pages listed
[00:19:15.170]
on the home page here. I'll point out for this month
[00:19:17.279]
we've actually pulled forward artificial intelligence
[00:19:19.750]
as one of our highlighted topics. Of
[00:19:21.959]
course, that works really well for this week. But just
[00:19:24.650]
learning in general, of course A I has really
[00:19:26.910]
kind of
[00:19:28.049]
come to the forefront really of everyone's mind.
[00:19:30.059]
Everyone's talking about A I, everyone
[00:19:32.309]
wants to use A I, everyone's slightly
[00:19:34.420]
afraid of A I. So we've decided to pull
[00:19:36.598]
that topic page forward up top here.
[00:19:38.750]
If students want to investigate,
[00:19:40.689]
we've also got the full list down
[00:19:43.209]
here as well. So when we're talking about media
[00:19:45.348]
literacy, for the most part, they're going
[00:19:47.390]
to find information under science and health
[00:19:49.979]
and social issues because of course,
[00:19:52.199]
a lot of media literacy is circling around,
[00:19:55.108]
you know, cyber bullying fake news, things like
[00:19:57.269]
that. They'll find that information under social
[00:19:59.650]
issues.
[00:20:01.140]
But let's just click into our artificial
[00:20:03.189]
intelligence topic page here. I'm gonna
[00:20:05.279]
explore this topic. Oops,
[00:20:07.539]
I left it sitting for too long. There we go. So I hit,
[00:20:09.769]
explore this topic and now this is
[00:20:11.809]
the topic page for artificial intelligence.
[00:20:13.890]
So if you do decide to start your students on these
[00:20:16.118]
topic pages
[00:20:17.439]
at the top of the page, they're going to get an overview
[00:20:19.759]
of just the background of the the
[00:20:21.930]
topic. So they kind of get their footing a little bit
[00:20:25.160]
and then underneath, they're going to get all of this
[00:20:27.229]
great content that we've pulled forward into different
[00:20:29.348]
content buckets here. So you'll see. We've got, our reference
[00:20:31.739]
works are pulled forward,
[00:20:33.318]
images are pulled separate. We've got great
[00:20:35.410]
videos, audio files,
[00:20:37.449]
audio files are a lot of podcasts available
[00:20:39.549]
to students, our magazine and news.
[00:20:41.789]
And if I scroll to the bottom,
[00:20:44.509]
there we go. We also have related topics
[00:20:46.920]
to help students move forward. So if they maybe
[00:20:49.098]
want to talk to learn about Google or
[00:20:51.118]
compare Google and Microsoft, they
[00:20:53.130]
can do that right here. If they want to take a look at Apple
[00:20:55.539]
that's listed here as a related topic as well.
[00:20:58.549]
It's kind of help them move forward
[00:21:00.519]
and a really nice feature. I want to point out if
[00:21:02.588]
you do pull these topic pages for students
[00:21:04.989]
and want to share them. If you use
[00:21:07.059]
this, get link button up top here in this toolbar.
[00:21:10.088]
This is gonna provide them with a persistent
[00:21:12.219]
URL. So this isn't gonna break.
[00:21:14.489]
And then you'll notice it's a lot shorter than what's
[00:21:16.559]
found in the search bar as well.
[00:21:18.699]
But you can share this out with students. You can put
[00:21:20.709]
it in a syllabus, you can share in an email, you
[00:21:22.769]
can put it in your discussion board post. And
[00:21:25.000]
soon as we're able to click in here and we launched right
[00:21:27.068]
to this topic page and then can start
[00:21:29.348]
kind of researching on their own. So if
[00:21:31.410]
you do want kind of that targeted learning,
[00:21:33.828]
maybe you're not ready to have them flow all
[00:21:36.078]
the way through the resource. You're a little bit afraid they might get
[00:21:38.108]
a bit overwhelmed.
[00:21:40.269]
This link will get them right
[00:21:42.328]
here in a more
[00:21:43.729]
controlled area.
[00:21:47.259]
We have another question here about the costs and fees.
[00:21:49.729]
Um So if you're talking about costs of the
[00:21:51.779]
resources, um I can give
[00:21:53.828]
you out your information for your um
[00:21:56.949]
your sales consultant and they can work with you
[00:21:58.959]
and work with your learning community. So I'll have
[00:22:01.078]
that at the end of the session for you.
[00:22:03.459]
If you're talking about the media literacy, support
[00:22:05.630]
materials on the support site, those are completely
[00:22:07.660]
free and open for you to use as needed.
[00:22:10.358]
Um
[00:22:11.500]
So again, hold to the very end of the session,
[00:22:13.729]
I'll give you the information for your sales
[00:22:16.029]
consultants.
[00:22:17.130]
and then you'll be able to reach out to them to kind of get
[00:22:19.199]
a better understanding of costs and things like that.
[00:22:26.189]
And then we have another question. Um One of our content
[00:22:28.608]
buckets is listed as featured
[00:22:30.838]
contents
[00:22:32.578]
found here.
[00:22:34.000]
So we have a question, what determines that it's featured
[00:22:36.358]
content. So that's actually our content development
[00:22:38.479]
team. So generally it's going to depend on what's
[00:22:40.500]
going on. Um If something big happens in the
[00:22:42.588]
world of A I, then they may choose to
[00:22:44.640]
pull that forward as a featured bit of content.
[00:22:46.799]
So students can find it more easily.
[00:22:48.689]
Generally, featured contents are
[00:22:50.880]
going to fall into the reference bucket.
[00:22:52.939]
Sometimes. Um you'll see these, we have
[00:22:54.949]
a couple audio files, so sometimes they may
[00:22:56.989]
be multimedia content,
[00:22:59.348]
but it's just pieces of content that are
[00:23:01.390]
normally found within these other buckets that are
[00:23:03.479]
still there, but that we've chosen to pull forward
[00:23:06.150]
because, you know, something new happened
[00:23:08.239]
related to that specific topic or
[00:23:10.559]
it's, you know, something that's been really
[00:23:12.660]
prominent in the media recently. So it's
[00:23:14.838]
decided by our product
[00:23:16.890]
and our content teams.
[00:23:23.910]
OK. And before we get off, I do
[00:23:25.979]
want to mention that your students can also search
[00:23:28.160]
for topic pages. So I'm going
[00:23:30.318]
to start a search here, let's say
[00:23:32.410]
for cybersecurity, just so you can kind of see how
[00:23:34.578]
this functions. if they are searching
[00:23:36.900]
for something, you'll see, we have two B
[00:23:39.368]
options at the top of my predictive text
[00:23:41.420]
here. Anytime they see this bolded option,
[00:23:43.779]
those are topic pages that we've already created.
[00:23:46.009]
So if they're planning on searching for cybersecurity,
[00:23:49.000]
instead of kind of pulling just your standard
[00:23:51.250]
search results page, they can click on this
[00:23:53.469]
bolded option.
[00:23:56.739]
And now there we go, they're pulled directly to
[00:23:58.789]
this topic page here.
[00:24:01.769]
So another quick way to access those topic pages
[00:24:04.279]
without having to kind of search through a whole lot
[00:24:06.358]
of content. If they run a search, they see that
[00:24:08.500]
bolded text, click on it, they'll be taken
[00:24:10.568]
to the page and then you'll see it's laid out just
[00:24:12.699]
like the other one. Our related topics at the bottom
[00:24:15.229]
are content buckets in between
[00:24:18.160]
and then our overview at the very top
[00:24:20.199]
here. Now,
[00:24:24.588]
I'm going to go ahead and jump back to my sides once
[00:24:26.930]
more here
[00:24:28.799]
because that's what I have for you guys today.
[00:24:31.809]
And again, I'll put the information in a follow
[00:24:34.068]
up email for you, excuse me,
[00:24:36.799]
um,
[00:24:38.108]
with a link to that support content
[00:24:40.279]
on the support site. And you know, we had a question
[00:24:42.539]
about cost and access to the resources.
[00:24:45.309]
Um You were an anonymous attendee.
[00:24:47.809]
So I can't give you specific information.
[00:24:50.118]
But um to get that information, reach
[00:24:52.318]
out to your sales consultant. If you don't know who that
[00:24:54.368]
is, you can, you can go
[00:24:56.380]
to support.gale.com/repfinder
[00:24:58.559]
You'll put in your learning community's
[00:25:00.680]
information, you'll be forwarded to the correct
[00:25:02.880]
individual. Or if you like, you can email
[00:25:04.969]
me directly after the session. I
[00:25:06.989]
can give you the exact information you
[00:25:09.108]
get a follow up email from me. So I'll be able
[00:25:11.219]
to excuse me, quickly respond
[00:25:13.318]
back to you as well.
[00:25:14.779]
You will also have access to your customer
[00:25:16.838]
success manager. So if you want to talk about
[00:25:18.949]
this a little more specifically
[00:25:21.368]
related to your learn learning community, feel
[00:25:23.380]
free to reach out to them. If you don't know who that is.
[00:25:25.729]
[email protected]
[00:25:27.890]
you'll get that correct information there.
[00:25:30.358]
Again, our support site is
[00:25:32.430]
support.gale.com
[00:25:34.410]
and I do have a training session survey. So if you
[00:25:36.479]
have the time to take that, I would love to hear your thoughts
[00:25:38.779]
on the session today. If there's something
[00:25:40.979]
that wasn't covered, that you would have preferred to be covered
[00:25:43.259]
if you had to have feedback about the materials
[00:25:45.809]
we've made, We'd love to hear that this QR
[00:25:48.078]
code is active if you wanna scan it.
[00:25:50.059]
So I'll go ahead and end the session for today. Then
[00:25:52.140]
I appreciate you all for being here again and
[00:25:54.358]
hopefully we'll see you in future gale trainings.
