Gale Training

[00:00:04.908]
Welcome to our session today.

[00:00:06.980]
We're going to be exploring the new enhancements

[00:00:09.489]
to Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee's Academy.

[00:00:11.698]
My name is Amber Winters and I am

[00:00:13.890]
a senior training consultant here at Gale and

[00:00:15.929]
I'll be walking you through the resource today.

[00:00:18.870]
So a brief agenda, of course, first,

[00:00:20.978]
we're going to talk about those new enhancements

[00:00:23.298]
where you can find them, what they're going to do

[00:00:25.739]
and then we're going to walk through the resource so you can

[00:00:27.829]
see those in action to make sure

[00:00:29.859]
you really get the full view of what

[00:00:31.899]
we've done to enhance this resource

[00:00:34.819]
at the very end of the session. There should be plenty

[00:00:37.020]
of time for any questions that I haven't been able

[00:00:39.069]
to answer as we move along today.

[00:00:41.079]
but feel free to pop the questions into the Q

[00:00:43.259]
and A. Whenever you think of them throughout the session,

[00:00:45.310]
I should be able to answer them kind of as we walk

[00:00:47.389]
through and I will have some wrap

[00:00:49.459]
up information as well as some context for

[00:00:51.490]
you at the very end of the session as well.

[00:00:54.000]
So let's go ahead and dive right in. So if you're

[00:00:56.079]
new to Miss Humble Bee's Academy, I want to just give

[00:00:58.279]
you three points to kind of orient you

[00:01:00.329]
before we talk about our enhancement. So first

[00:01:02.520]
off, this is designed to support kindergarten

[00:01:05.000]
readiness. So this is designed specifically

[00:01:07.150]
for kids age 3 to 6 and

[00:01:09.319]
we do align it to both preschool

[00:01:11.370]
and elementary standards. So it is pre

[00:01:13.638]
aligned for your users. The content

[00:01:15.980]
is cross curricular, everything from

[00:01:18.180]
excuse me, language, letters

[00:01:20.698]
numbers, social studies,

[00:01:22.739]
social, emotional learning, as well

[00:01:24.838]
as health. We have some really great exercise videos

[00:01:27.028]
in here and this platform does

[00:01:29.109]
allow for either guided or customizable

[00:01:31.680]
learning pathways. So it's

[00:01:33.939]
pre designed to guide learners,

[00:01:36.000]
both Children and their parents through

[00:01:38.638]
this platform going through each of the different lessons

[00:01:41.000]
and activities. But your users

[00:01:43.129]
do have the capability to kind of navigate how

[00:01:45.299]
they want to as well.

[00:01:47.338]
So that's Miss Humble Bee's Academy

[00:01:49.349]
in a nutshell, but we are focused

[00:01:51.359]
specifically on enhancements today. So let's

[00:01:53.448]
go ahead and start talking about those.

[00:01:55.519]
So our first enhancement is going to be an

[00:01:57.528]
improved navigation bar on the bottom

[00:01:59.680]
of the page. You'll see. I've pulled it forward here

[00:02:01.900]
for you. Previously, this navigation

[00:02:04.109]
bar was broken into different subjects. So

[00:02:06.209]
you'll find math and science literacy,

[00:02:09.118]
social emotional learning. We've decided

[00:02:11.300]
to change that up and now it's broken into

[00:02:13.610]
the different content types. So instead

[00:02:15.669]
of seeing

[00:02:17.210]
math, they're going to see videos.

[00:02:19.368]
If they want to take a look at a video. If they wanted to

[00:02:21.419]
read an ebook, we've pulled those out. We've

[00:02:23.679]
pulled out a teach me section as well.

[00:02:25.969]
So we've decided to organize it in a different manner

[00:02:28.618]
so users can make sure they're finding all

[00:02:30.639]
of the information they need all of the, the

[00:02:32.710]
specific content types.

[00:02:35.580]
We've added quite a few new on demand

[00:02:37.659]
lessons here as well. You see, I've pulled forward

[00:02:39.819]
just a few

[00:02:40.899]
and all of these are going to be teacher led. They're

[00:02:42.960]
still generally very, very short. Some

[00:02:45.460]
a lot are less than a minute. Even

[00:02:47.960]
you'll see some are just focused on circles

[00:02:50.118]
or triangles. So we've pulled all

[00:02:52.250]
of those forward into the teach me tab now.

[00:02:54.618]
So young kids who are coming

[00:02:56.649]
in taking a look at this, they'll be able to see

[00:02:59.110]
an actual individual, you know, writing out letters

[00:03:01.618]
or running through a, a quick science experiment.

[00:03:04.360]
They'll be able to take a look at that right here on this platform.

[00:03:08.639]
And our third enhancement that I'll mention today

[00:03:10.719]
is going to be our new Spanish content and

[00:03:12.808]
this is actually still a, a work

[00:03:14.849]
in progress. But right now, we've created

[00:03:17.229]
Span Spanish language principles.

[00:03:19.338]
So the principles that have always been on this platform,

[00:03:21.979]
we've added in some Spanish version,

[00:03:24.219]
some Spanish translations to those. So

[00:03:26.338]
your students, I'm sorry, your learners and

[00:03:28.819]
their parents can download print that content

[00:03:31.278]
right off the platform, just like they would the

[00:03:33.528]
English version

[00:03:35.368]
and we currently have Spanish

[00:03:37.409]
video captions and Spanish ebooks

[00:03:39.580]
on their way. So we're currently working on those.

[00:03:42.118]
They haven't made it into this launch, but they

[00:03:44.129]
are in process and will be out here as well.

[00:03:46.250]
So those will add to the Spanish language

[00:03:48.460]
content that we have found here within this resource.

[00:03:54.118]
Now, I really want to show you how these enhancements

[00:03:56.319]
function and how your users are going to be able to navigate

[00:03:58.770]
through them. I will ask as I'm switching

[00:04:01.008]
over here any questions before we just

[00:04:03.058]
dive right into the platform.

[00:04:07.649]
OK? I don't see any. So

[00:04:09.669]
I'm going to just start off here on the main sign

[00:04:11.750]
in page at Miss Humble Academy. You'll

[00:04:13.819]
notice this hasn't changed at all.

[00:04:15.949]
They'll still be able to either create their

[00:04:18.048]
own account or use guest accounts, whichever

[00:04:20.129]
they prefer. I will just briefly mention,

[00:04:22.329]
I always suggest having your users,

[00:04:24.500]
your parents, your kids create

[00:04:26.509]
their own account that way it will save their progress

[00:04:29.129]
and they'll be able to save their rewards and things

[00:04:31.350]
like that. I already have an account. So

[00:04:33.410]
let me sign in really quickly here.

[00:04:39.040]
Again, nothing's changed on this front. This is still

[00:04:41.079]
the same. You'll be able to choose your student. If

[00:04:43.439]
you have parents coming in with more than one child,

[00:04:46.470]
they'll be able to choose whichever. So we'll go ahead and click

[00:04:48.678]
into Blair today.

[00:04:52.358]
I'm going to skip this

[00:04:55.230]
and I'm going to start here. Actually, at the beginning,

[00:04:57.689]
you'll see it kind of drop me off where I ended

[00:05:00.410]
within my learning pathway. But let's start at the beginning.

[00:05:02.649]
So we can see, Miss Humble be here. So,

[00:05:04.709]
just like before you'll see, I still have my

[00:05:06.750]
stepping stones that are going to tell me what lessons

[00:05:09.048]
I should complete. I can click into any

[00:05:11.100]
of those at any time.

[00:05:12.778]
Once they're completed, they turn red.

[00:05:16.108]
You'll see there's quite a few. If they're not completed

[00:05:18.338]
here, you'll see. This is the last one I ended at. So this

[00:05:20.420]
is what I need to start with.

[00:05:24.059]
But that process stays the same

[00:05:26.449]
again down below. This is the biggest

[00:05:28.829]
change in this resource here, our toolbar.

[00:05:31.209]
So we still have this my learning. I don't have

[00:05:33.290]
any customized learning set up. So I'm not going

[00:05:35.369]
to click into that. We do still have that here.

[00:05:38.238]
Our choose a lesson now is going to house

[00:05:40.819]
every content type that these

[00:05:43.019]
kids have access to. So if I click

[00:05:45.329]
into choose a lesson here, this

[00:05:47.379]
is a pretty substantial page with

[00:05:49.488]
a lot of content. So sometimes it takes just a second

[00:05:51.869]
to load. But when I click into that here,

[00:05:55.199]
it's going to show me every lesson I have

[00:05:57.379]
and we break it up based on content types.

[00:05:59.439]
You'll see ebooks here and

[00:06:01.819]
then our ebooks are broken into those subjects.

[00:06:04.428]
Underneath are those teach me videos? Again,

[00:06:06.798]
those are teacher led, instructor led,

[00:06:09.189]
you'll see they are broken down into things like letters

[00:06:11.500]
and letter sounds, numbers listed here as

[00:06:13.670]
well. And then underneath

[00:06:16.230]
that, we have our music and videos. So

[00:06:18.278]
these are specifically, of

[00:06:20.649]
course music and um

[00:06:23.459]
excuse me instrumental. So these aren't going to

[00:06:25.509]
be, those teach me videos, these aren't going to be

[00:06:27.600]
instructor led. These are going to be

[00:06:29.629]
more um

[00:06:30.988]
just pre creative videos and

[00:06:33.559]
music videos and things

[00:06:35.588]
like that underneath

[00:06:37.988]
that scroll down here, we have

[00:06:40.139]
all of our steam content. And previously, this

[00:06:42.329]
was only found in the dashboard. You actually

[00:06:44.379]
had to exit out of the classroom to take a look

[00:06:46.449]
at this and this is our offline curriculum

[00:06:48.899]
here. So your kiddos can take

[00:06:51.019]
a look at this. Now, instead of having to have parents

[00:06:53.170]
go into the dashboard to find them. So

[00:06:55.500]
they can take a look and see. Wow, this Spider

[00:06:57.519]
Counter Graft is really cool. Mom and dad can we

[00:06:59.608]
print this off and do this at home?

[00:07:01.769]
We've put that right here. So the

[00:07:03.850]
kids can access it now so they can kind of continue

[00:07:06.170]
to navigate even off the platform.

[00:07:08.449]
And then at the very bottom here

[00:07:10.488]
that, that we've included our principles as

[00:07:12.629]
well. So again, these principles were

[00:07:14.738]
initially just found on the dashboard where parents

[00:07:17.170]
could access them or whatever adult is handling

[00:07:19.470]
this m Humble Be's account.

[00:07:21.199]
They're now here for kids to look at again

[00:07:23.470]
as well, so they can take a look at these whenever they want

[00:07:25.790]
to. So

[00:07:28.459]
again, this choose a lesson section is

[00:07:30.608]
really broad and contains

[00:07:32.889]
every bit of content that kids can choose

[00:07:35.019]
to click into. So this is really

[00:07:37.088]
great if maybe they don't know what they want to take

[00:07:39.170]
a look at or maybe parents just kind of want to see

[00:07:41.639]
overall what sort of content we have in

[00:07:43.699]
this resource. This choose a lesson is a good

[00:07:45.959]
way to go because they can really just browse through everything

[00:07:49.959]
next to choose a lesson. We do still have

[00:07:51.980]
the About me section and this is where

[00:07:54.000]
your kiddos can customize their avatar.

[00:07:56.329]
You'll see here, we can choose clothing

[00:07:58.838]
color, all that great stuff here.

[00:08:01.678]
This is also where progress reports are found.

[00:08:04.338]
So if they want to see where they are within their lessons,

[00:08:06.759]
they can take a look at that.

[00:08:08.619]
Rewards are still found here as well. Remember

[00:08:10.980]
as students complete different lessons

[00:08:13.100]
and different activities, they'll be rewarded

[00:08:15.269]
with a few different types of rewards. So

[00:08:17.290]
we do still list them under the about me section

[00:08:19.759]
here. And

[00:08:21.949]
now moving on from this, about me, you'll see, I have

[00:08:24.048]
four different options here

[00:08:26.238]
and each of these four options were

[00:08:28.338]
outlined under my choose a lesson.

[00:08:30.850]
So they're all listed under choose a lesson and

[00:08:33.158]
now they're broken out here as well.

[00:08:35.469]
So if kids know they want to read a book,

[00:08:37.830]
we do have our ebooks pulled out separately.

[00:08:40.109]
You'll see, just like with that, choose a lesson

[00:08:42.308]
section. It is broken down by subjects

[00:08:44.908]
you'll see here, career exploration, friend,

[00:08:47.229]
friendship, and social skills,

[00:08:49.918]
history, and civics, all that good stuff. So they'll

[00:08:51.928]
still be able to click into any of these and

[00:08:54.149]
just read through them on their own. Lots of times

[00:08:56.229]
they do have kind of comprehension questions

[00:08:58.609]
and reading questions to make

[00:09:00.798]
sure we're still challenging those kids

[00:09:02.908]
as they're reading through these ebooks. And again,

[00:09:05.178]
they are found right here in their own separate

[00:09:07.580]
section

[00:09:09.330]
next to ebooks. We now have a teach me section

[00:09:12.330]
and I, I didn't mention this but these four are replacing

[00:09:14.779]
the subject, options on the previous

[00:09:17.119]
navigation. So they're replacing

[00:09:19.320]
the math button, social emotional

[00:09:21.330]
learning. So, next to ebooks,

[00:09:23.369]
we have teach me

[00:09:26.950]
and this is going to be again, those

[00:09:29.349]
instructor led videos

[00:09:31.830]
and still they're broken up, you'll see letters,

[00:09:34.038]
numbers, colors, all that good stuff.

[00:09:36.129]
Even though these ones you'll see are images and

[00:09:38.149]
they're not quite like these ones where you can see

[00:09:40.308]
the instructor,

[00:09:42.538]
all of these are instructor led as

[00:09:44.590]
well. I'll click on one. You won't be able to hear

[00:09:46.899]
it. He's

[00:09:49.479]
not sharing my audio with you. But you'll see,

[00:09:51.580]
we do still have the instructor here. So this individual

[00:09:54.019]
is going to help them um I forgot what

[00:09:56.119]
I clicked into. It looks like the color red. It's going

[00:09:58.129]
to help them learn about the color red.

[00:10:01.538]
So each of these are instructor led and they're different

[00:10:03.899]
to instructors for each different option

[00:10:06.239]
here. So students will see a variety of educators

[00:10:08.769]
as they're clicking through this.

[00:10:11.849]
This is where your users are going to be

[00:10:13.869]
able to find these social emotional

[00:10:15.908]
learning videos that we added a little

[00:10:18.239]
bit ago.

[00:10:19.308]
They'll be able to find those here and they'll also find

[00:10:21.450]
these great befit videos. And again,

[00:10:23.538]
these did have their own tab previously,

[00:10:25.869]
but we pulled them together under this. Teach me,

[00:10:28.379]
they're really nice to get ST to get

[00:10:30.479]
users engaged again off the platform.

[00:10:32.918]
They're usually just one quick little

[00:10:34.969]
exercise. Sometimes it's a stretch. Sometimes

[00:10:37.298]
it's an exercise that parents can do

[00:10:39.408]
with their kids or parents can have their kids do just

[00:10:41.479]
to get them up and moving and away

[00:10:43.599]
from the computer for a bit. You'll see soccer

[00:10:45.788]
kick apple picking. It's really a nice fun

[00:10:47.940]
section here.

[00:10:50.529]
Now, moving on from this, teach me you'll

[00:10:52.580]
see next to that. I have music and videos.

[00:10:55.798]
And again, these videos that I'm clicking into are

[00:10:57.849]
different because they are not the instructor led

[00:11:00.090]
videos. All of the instructor

[00:11:02.168]
led are going to be found under teach me other

[00:11:04.259]
videos that don't have instructors touched

[00:11:06.330]
will be found under music and videos

[00:11:09.820]
again, broken up here.

[00:11:12.178]
You'll see. We have another social oops,

[00:11:14.529]
scroll down too far, another social emotional

[00:11:16.979]
learning section. And again, these ones

[00:11:19.070]
are not instructor led, which is why we've pulled them

[00:11:21.090]
out separately.

[00:11:22.719]
But kids can easily click through these to take

[00:11:24.798]
a look.

[00:11:27.869]
Scrolling down here. I do also want to point

[00:11:30.009]
out these songs about animals are really, really

[00:11:32.149]
popular. You've pulled them off forward here.

[00:11:34.288]
So I always recommend sharing those with

[00:11:36.298]
your users. They are great,

[00:11:40.879]
but again, broken up by subject and really simple

[00:11:43.178]
to find under this music and video section.

[00:11:46.200]
And the last tab we have available is this

[00:11:48.609]
steam option here.

[00:11:52.250]
And this again is going to be pulling forward

[00:11:54.629]
the offline activities that were previously

[00:11:57.038]
just listed in the dashboard for

[00:11:59.269]
parents to see.

[00:12:01.219]
So again,

[00:12:03.750]
there real kids can navigate through and

[00:12:05.820]
find something interesting

[00:12:08.320]
maybe Groundhog Day and we'll

[00:12:10.369]
get all of this information listed here for them.

[00:12:13.529]
There we go.

[00:12:15.119]
And at the very bottom there are print options.

[00:12:17.298]
So if they do bring this to their parents or again,

[00:12:19.538]
whatever adult is working with them through this platform

[00:12:22.259]
and they say I'm very interested in this. Can

[00:12:24.340]
we maybe print it out? We do include

[00:12:26.500]
it right here on this page. They can click into it and

[00:12:28.570]
choose what they want to print out.

[00:12:31.580]
Nice and simple

[00:12:33.710]
and again underneath that.

[00:12:35.668]
Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:12:36.788]
No. We have special interest

[00:12:39.048]
here and those are all included under this steam

[00:12:41.450]
section.

[00:12:45.210]
Now, are there any questions about this new navigation

[00:12:47.658]
at all before we move on to finding

[00:12:49.849]
some additional Spanish content?

[00:12:55.500]
OK. I don't see any questions. So let's

[00:12:57.558]
go ahead and move forward then. So now

[00:12:59.678]
I'm going to navigate out of my classroom

[00:13:02.440]
here. I'm going to go to my dashboard. So

[00:13:04.619]
same as before to do that, I click into this little

[00:13:06.719]
hamburger icon in the top, right.

[00:13:09.298]
And I just hit exit classroom

[00:13:13.509]
and we haven't changed the look of this at all.

[00:13:15.609]
It is still the same. So we still have

[00:13:18.250]
our managing student section

[00:13:20.408]
if you need to change the number of students you

[00:13:22.418]
have or the names of students or whatever

[00:13:24.529]
you need to do.

[00:13:25.739]
But I want to point out here, I'm going to click into

[00:13:27.849]
my principal practice worksheets,

[00:13:32.178]
which is

[00:13:33.469]
not easy to say principal practice worksheets.

[00:13:36.359]
So when I click into that here, it's going

[00:13:38.369]
to pull this forward and this is where we'll find

[00:13:40.399]
our Spanish version of these different worksheets

[00:13:42.440]
as well. So I click into letters

[00:13:44.469]
here. Let's click into that first

[00:13:47.019]
and I scroll down. You'll see you get both

[00:13:49.090]
the English version and the Spanish version.

[00:13:51.190]
And if it is a Spanish version, we've labeled

[00:13:53.428]
it as Spanish.

[00:13:55.298]
So they can easily see that as they're scrolling

[00:13:57.349]
through to make sure they get that Spanish version

[00:13:59.989]
of the content.

[00:14:01.989]
We've also got numbers here. You'll see. We

[00:14:04.109]
have our numbers in Spanish. Another

[00:14:06.219]
great one I want to point out to you are the color

[00:14:08.259]
practice sheets. We have those in Spanish as

[00:14:10.450]
well.

[00:14:12.928]
You just click into one so you can kind of get a feel what these

[00:14:15.080]
look like.

[00:14:16.330]
So you see, we do have them built out in Spanish

[00:14:18.940]
and now users can print them, download them

[00:14:22.200]
whatever they want to do. They can even open it on their

[00:14:24.298]
desktop right from here.

[00:14:25.989]
So we'll be able to have this content

[00:14:28.308]
in addition to the spa or excuse me, in

[00:14:30.359]
addition to the English version, they have both.

[00:14:32.690]
So this is a really nice option for

[00:14:35.029]
individuals who are trying to help kids

[00:14:37.149]
as they learn English. Maybe they

[00:14:39.190]
are native Spanish speakers to have both

[00:14:41.229]
versions of this document listed for them

[00:14:43.538]
is oftentimes helpful for them to kind of understand

[00:14:45.908]
and connect to the different languages together.

[00:14:48.308]
So we do have both versions here. You'll see sitting

[00:14:50.450]
next to each other and they can both be downloaded

[00:14:52.798]
and printed and taken wherever,

[00:14:55.500]
wherever kids want them to go.

[00:15:03.168]
And same as before I will also mention

[00:15:05.200]
under curriculum. You'll see we have all

[00:15:07.250]
of our curriculum list information listed

[00:15:09.330]
here. Oops

[00:15:12.158]
and under resources. We'll still find all

[00:15:14.330]
of that great content here.

[00:15:18.820]
So let me just return to my classroom here.

[00:15:21.000]
So go back to the student view

[00:15:27.340]
and now I will ask do we have any questions

[00:15:29.379]
we've been quiet today and we have quite a bit

[00:15:31.408]
of time to make sure everything gets answered.

[00:15:33.440]
So please put your your questions

[00:15:35.710]
in the Q and A so I can make sure I get those answered.

[00:15:38.119]
But those are the main enhancements

[00:15:40.239]
that we have created for Miss

[00:15:42.399]
Humble Bee's Academy. Again, as I mentioned,

[00:15:44.750]
we have some additional Spanish content that's

[00:15:46.899]
going to be pulled into the platform

[00:15:49.460]
soon it's currently being worked on.

[00:15:51.678]
So you will see that

[00:15:53.639]
in the near future,

[00:15:58.678]
we don't have any questions. So let me provide

[00:16:01.000]
you with some wrap up information before we leave

[00:16:03.099]
for the day.

[00:16:04.239]
So if you want some additional information

[00:16:06.379]
about Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee's Academy,

[00:16:08.820]
or maybe you want to talk about usage or something like that,

[00:16:11.308]
you have access to a customer success manager

[00:16:13.558]
who can work you through that. If you don't

[00:16:15.570]
know who they are, just send an email to [email protected]

[00:16:18.048]


[00:16:20.320]
and we can forward you to the correct individual

[00:16:22.450]
and they can even walk you through the platform again. If

[00:16:24.529]
you need maybe another quick 30 minutes walk

[00:16:26.779]
through just to take a look at all of the features

[00:16:29.918]
if you don't have access to this resource right

[00:16:31.940]
now, but you want to talk to someone about it, you can reach

[00:16:33.979]
out to your sales consultant. If you don't

[00:16:36.019]
know who that is, you can just go to support.gale.com/repfinder

[00:16:38.178]


[00:16:40.408]


[00:16:41.750]
And we do already have some premade support

[00:16:44.048]
and training tools available for you as

[00:16:46.149]
well as some patron facing content.

[00:16:48.308]
So if you want to get this information out to your patrons,

[00:16:51.090]
we do have some material ready

[00:16:53.119]
for them. We even have activities for Miss Humble Bee's

[00:16:55.250]
Academy. We have a nice

[00:16:57.668]
brief tutorial for patrons letting them

[00:16:59.729]
know what Miss Humblbee's Academy is about

[00:17:02.479]
to find all of that content. You can just go to our support

[00:17:04.680]
site and that's support.gale.com.

[00:17:07.150]
You'll be able to click directly into Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee's Academy,

[00:17:09.318]
and you'll find

[00:17:11.400]
all of the training materials related to

[00:17:13.469]
that resource right there.

[00:17:16.218]
And I do have a session survey here if you

[00:17:18.249]
all have time to take it today, um

[00:17:20.868]
It will pop up in your browser once we're done with

[00:17:22.878]
the session. So you can certainly take it that way or

[00:17:24.958]
I have just a simple QR code here

[00:17:27.038]
that you can scan.

[00:17:29.348]
And again, I haven't seen any questions pop

[00:17:31.469]
up, so I'll go ahead and end our session

[00:17:33.489]
for the day. I appreciate everyone for being on

[00:17:35.578]
the line and hopefully we'll see you in

[00:17:37.709]
future sessions.
