Gale Training

[00:00:04.889]
Hello and welcome today. We're going to

[00:00:06.900]
be talking about how you can support financial

[00:00:09.429]
literacy with Gale In Context: Middle School

[00:00:11.689]
and Gale In Context: High School.

[00:00:13.858]
My name is Amber Winters and I am your training

[00:00:16.158]
consultant here for the day.

[00:00:19.489]
And our agenda is a pretty simple one. First,

[00:00:21.638]
I want to talk about some of the key content

[00:00:23.839]
and topic pages. You're going to find within

[00:00:26.120]
both of the resources to help you as you're building

[00:00:28.359]
your financial literacy lessons and

[00:00:30.510]
to help your students as they start to learn on their own.

[00:00:33.289]
After that, we're going to walk through the resource. So

[00:00:35.478]
we can see some of the different workflows that are

[00:00:37.560]
going to support your learning community as

[00:00:39.798]
well as some of the different tools that are going to help you

[00:00:41.868]
really get this ingrained into your students

[00:00:44.000]
learning.

[00:00:45.668]
And then at the very end of the session, we should have time

[00:00:47.959]
for any questions that I'm not able to answer as

[00:00:50.098]
we move through the session and I'll have some

[00:00:52.418]
wrap up contact information for you.

[00:00:54.740]
So as a reminder, we're using the Q

[00:00:56.950]
and A feature for questions as opposed

[00:00:59.079]
to the chat. So if you do have questions

[00:01:01.098]
as we move along today, feel free to put them in

[00:01:03.179]
there. I've got it opened up on my screen, so

[00:01:05.359]
I should be able to answer them as we move along.

[00:01:07.739]
If we get a little bit backed up with time, then

[00:01:09.879]
I will wait until the end of the session to answer your questions.

[00:01:12.219]
But please type them in when you think of them and

[00:01:14.698]
I promise they'll be answered at the very

[00:01:16.959]
latest at the end of the session.

[00:01:20.430]
So if you're not familiar with Galen context,

[00:01:22.500]
middle school and Galen context high school,

[00:01:24.698]
these are our two cross curricular

[00:01:26.849]
and context resources designed

[00:01:29.359]
as you would guess it specifically for both

[00:01:31.489]
middle and high school level students.

[00:01:33.540]
So they do cover everything from social

[00:01:35.778]
sciences to science to el

[00:01:37.829]
a current events

[00:01:39.819]
kind of the the whole gamut of information.

[00:01:43.250]
And we do have a huge variety of content

[00:01:45.290]
types within these resources that are going to be

[00:01:47.418]
particularly helpful for you as you're trying

[00:01:49.680]
to create a more diverse

[00:01:51.838]
learning curriculum

[00:01:54.198]
with different types of resources. So we have

[00:01:56.260]
our basic reference articles, but we also have

[00:01:58.308]
news and magazines that we keep current.

[00:02:00.569]
You'll find a great collection of primary sources,

[00:02:03.299]
videos and images are really helpful. If you

[00:02:05.388]
are trying to get some multimedia

[00:02:07.418]
content within your lessons, we

[00:02:09.649]
also include some great statistics that are found

[00:02:11.899]
in our images bucket. So as you're

[00:02:13.960]
getting students more comfortable with reading

[00:02:16.189]
charts and graphs and things like that. You can

[00:02:18.210]
find a lot of that within these two resources

[00:02:20.639]
that can support your financial literacy teaching.

[00:02:23.610]
We also have great biographies and

[00:02:25.800]
for those of you who are working with more advanced

[00:02:28.099]
high school students, we do have academic

[00:02:30.278]
journals within Galen contacts, high School.

[00:02:34.808]
In addition to all of that content, we'll have tools

[00:02:36.949]
that we're actually going to go over today. Things like highlights

[00:02:39.179]
and notes, our citation feature,

[00:02:41.210]
we have the ability to translate both documents

[00:02:43.508]
and the platform tools themselves.

[00:02:46.409]
We have a list and feature, a text manipulation

[00:02:48.719]
that's going to make this resource really accessible

[00:02:51.020]
for all of your students with all of their needs

[00:02:53.669]
and a nice Google and Microsoft Integration

[00:02:55.879]
that we're going to take a look at as well.

[00:02:58.028]
And I do want to just pause here quickly to mention

[00:03:00.778]
if you learning community, your school

[00:03:02.860]
district has access to both Galen

[00:03:05.118]
context, middle school and Galen context

[00:03:07.189]
high school.

[00:03:08.679]
I would encourage you to promote

[00:03:10.758]
either to your students. So if you're at a high school

[00:03:13.058]
level and you have some students who are struggling readers

[00:03:15.710]
or maybe not quite at that high school level,

[00:03:18.069]
you may want to have them access scale and context

[00:03:20.469]
middle school where they're going to find a lot of similar

[00:03:22.699]
information, but at that lower reading level

[00:03:25.379]
and same goes for those of you working with middle school

[00:03:27.500]
students, if you have some students, maybe who are in eighth grade,

[00:03:29.710]
but are really ready to take that jump into

[00:03:32.058]
a higher level content,

[00:03:33.699]
direct them to Galen context high school and they

[00:03:35.740]
may find some material that's more suited

[00:03:38.050]
for them at that higher level. So even

[00:03:40.669]
though they're labeled Galen context middle school

[00:03:42.679]
and high school, if you do have access to both consider

[00:03:45.469]
what your students need. If you have higher

[00:03:47.580]
or lower achieving students, they may benefit

[00:03:49.729]
from cooking into one resource or another

[00:03:52.588]
because you'll find a lot of the same content

[00:03:55.020]
in each

[00:03:56.219]
but at those different levels.

[00:03:59.879]
And today I want to talk specifically about

[00:04:01.899]
our topic page organization.

[00:04:04.189]
It's a really nice clean way for you to find

[00:04:06.469]
content really quickly and to kind of have it all

[00:04:08.610]
house on one page.

[00:04:11.288]
So if you're not familiar with topic pages, we

[00:04:13.319]
have them created for some of the most studied

[00:04:15.500]
and most used and most searched

[00:04:17.920]
topics within the resource. So you'll see,

[00:04:20.079]
I've pulled forward here. Our financial literacy

[00:04:22.209]
topic page is one of the, the key

[00:04:24.838]
topic pages that you're going to want to take a look at

[00:04:26.928]
within Galen context, middle school. But

[00:04:29.149]
the top of all of our topic pages, we're going to

[00:04:31.189]
have a topic overview and this is going

[00:04:33.420]
to give you and your students kind of the background

[00:04:35.569]
and the base knowledge about whatever topic you're going

[00:04:37.778]
to be looking at.

[00:04:39.170]
So this is really handy to have if

[00:04:41.298]
you're just starting off your financial financial

[00:04:43.309]
literacy unit and you want to give students just

[00:04:45.329]
that intro, they may want

[00:04:47.410]
to take a look at this topic overview.

[00:04:49.579]
Also on the topic pages you're

[00:04:51.670]
going to have on this page section and

[00:04:53.899]
this is going to show them what content types

[00:04:56.079]
we have available for them. So you'll see here on this

[00:04:58.238]
page, we've got things like reference

[00:05:00.250]
works. We've got some news reports, some video,

[00:05:02.480]
audio files, those are usually podcasts

[00:05:05.178]
and magazines here as well. So this is going

[00:05:07.238]
to show them what they're going to be able to find on this topic

[00:05:09.519]
page.

[00:05:11.428]
And then at the very bottom, we have all of our content

[00:05:13.798]
organized and content buckets. So they're going

[00:05:15.899]
to see the first few entries in those buckets

[00:05:18.540]
and they can click directly in. So if they want to look

[00:05:20.608]
at all of the reference material, we have

[00:05:22.949]
specifically linked to financial literacy,

[00:05:25.259]
they'll be able to do that here.

[00:05:28.358]
And at the very bottom of our topic pages, you can't

[00:05:30.389]
see it just because I didn't have enough room on the screen.

[00:05:32.639]
We have our related topics and this

[00:05:34.798]
is going to help especially

[00:05:36.869]
your students who have trouble building their own search

[00:05:39.209]
terms. Move forward with their

[00:05:41.220]
learning and move forward with their research. You'll see

[00:05:43.699]
they'll be able to click directly into other topics

[00:05:45.809]
that have topic pages So after

[00:05:48.088]
they take a look, kind of at just the general financial

[00:05:50.470]
literacy, they may now want to take

[00:05:52.548]
a look at the different economic systems or maybe

[00:05:54.819]
they want to go deeper into money and

[00:05:56.829]
banking or something like that,

[00:05:58.540]
they'll be able to point and click right on our topic

[00:06:00.720]
pages and not even have to worry about building

[00:06:03.028]
their search terms. So this is great for really

[00:06:05.350]
those beginner researchers who aren't ready

[00:06:07.619]
to run more

[00:06:09.829]
sophisticated searches yet or

[00:06:11.970]
for students who are coming in and

[00:06:14.048]
have absolutely no idea what they want to look

[00:06:16.250]
at. Instead of trying to figure out what they should

[00:06:18.259]
search, they can really point and click all

[00:06:20.338]
the way through both of these resources and find some

[00:06:22.379]
valuable financial information.

[00:06:27.160]
Now, let's talk specific topic pages

[00:06:29.350]
that you may want to take a look at. So if you are planning

[00:06:31.670]
on working within Gillen context, middle school,

[00:06:34.290]
I've highlighted here. Of course, our main

[00:06:36.670]
financial literacy topic page is going

[00:06:38.689]
to be probably the place you're going to want to start

[00:06:41.290]
before you take a look at anything else.

[00:06:43.309]
But you also will have topic pages on things

[00:06:45.528]
like economics. We have one specifically

[00:06:47.790]
for money and banking

[00:06:49.309]
and we also have one specific for entrepreneurship.

[00:06:52.238]
So not only helping students

[00:06:54.509]
understand, you know how to save money, how credit

[00:06:56.750]
cards work, how bank loans work.

[00:06:59.009]
If you're teaching your students how

[00:07:01.199]
to have kind of that entrepreneurial mindset

[00:07:03.259]
or maybe you have an entrepreneurial class.

[00:07:05.970]
We have a topic page created for that as

[00:07:08.139]
well and I'll show you a bit later

[00:07:10.410]
how you can find each of these where we have them

[00:07:12.428]
housed.

[00:07:13.798]
But if you're planning on using gel and context high

[00:07:15.869]
school, you'll find some of the same

[00:07:17.899]
topics but we do have

[00:07:20.269]
a few different ones. So instead of financial

[00:07:22.459]
literacy, we have a topic page

[00:07:24.540]
related to personal finance. And that may

[00:07:26.600]
be the starting point that you want to take a look at.

[00:07:29.738]
Moving forward from there, they'll find a topic page

[00:07:31.850]
on credit. If they want to move into looking

[00:07:34.139]
at how again credit cards work, how loans work,

[00:07:36.399]
things like that.

[00:07:37.548]
We also have an economics topic

[00:07:39.730]
page here within Galen context high School

[00:07:41.910]
where they'll find more advanced information than what they'll

[00:07:44.079]
find within Gale In Context.

[00:07:46.509]
Middle school, same for entrepreneurship

[00:07:48.689]
and money and banking. You see the topics

[00:07:51.259]
are the same, but they're going to be at that deeper

[00:07:53.509]
level that more advanced content.

[00:07:55.738]
We also have a great Cryptocurrency topic

[00:07:57.959]
page within Galen context high school. So

[00:08:00.759]
if you're going that step further and having students

[00:08:02.790]
look at more advanced information,

[00:08:04.850]
the Cryptocurrency topic page is a really

[00:08:07.028]
fun one to look at and to show students just

[00:08:09.129]
because it is so popular right now.

[00:08:11.040]
You know, we hear about Cryptocurrency all the time

[00:08:13.189]
and this resource is going to give them some

[00:08:15.269]
good background knowledge. So um they

[00:08:17.459]
can cut through the noise that they may be hearing online

[00:08:19.528]
that might not be very accurate and really

[00:08:21.670]
get the facts about Cryptocurrency.

[00:08:25.009]
Now, as we go through, I want you all to consider

[00:08:27.019]
using this get link feature, especially if

[00:08:29.028]
you're planning on pulling content. If

[00:08:31.259]
you're a librarian, media specialist on the line

[00:08:33.450]
and you're going to be pulling content either for teachers

[00:08:35.619]
or for students to get them engaged with this

[00:08:37.629]
resource. Our get link option

[00:08:39.700]
is really handy. It gives you a persistent

[00:08:41.849]
URL to whatever page you're on, you'll

[00:08:44.210]
see as I click through, it's going to be on the majority of

[00:08:46.288]
the pages we look at today

[00:08:48.869]
and you can get a link to one of these topic pages

[00:08:51.119]
and send it out. You know, you know, your

[00:08:53.330]
sixth grade social studies teachers

[00:08:55.369]
are planning on starting their financial literacy unit.

[00:08:58.058]
You get the link for the financial literacy

[00:09:00.099]
topic page, send it over and here

[00:09:02.308]
you go. You have great materials that are going

[00:09:04.399]
to help support your lessons. Nice and simple.

[00:09:07.779]
So always consider using our G link. We'll take a look

[00:09:09.869]
at that here in a quick second when

[00:09:11.918]
we jump into the resource before

[00:09:14.139]
we move over to walking through the platforms

[00:09:16.320]
though. Are there any questions or anything

[00:09:18.369]
you want me just to quickly cover? Besides

[00:09:20.678]
what we just looked at?

[00:09:25.798]
Ok, don't see anything. We're nice and quiet

[00:09:27.989]
today. Not a problem. Let's go ahead and

[00:09:30.070]
jump over here,

[00:09:32.590]
almost signed me out. Let me make sure we're signed

[00:09:34.769]
in. There we go.

[00:09:35.918]
so let me first show you where those topic

[00:09:37.950]
pages are housed, you will be able to

[00:09:40.070]
find topic pages by searching.

[00:09:42.219]
But if your students prefer to browse instead

[00:09:44.269]
of search, if they're in Galen context,

[00:09:46.739]
middle school

[00:09:48.798]
and they scroll down here.

[00:09:51.538]
We keep all of our financial literacy topics

[00:09:53.739]
housed under the social issues

[00:09:55.849]
tile here so they can click in and find

[00:09:57.889]
all of those if they're within Gillen

[00:09:59.969]
context high school, which is the resource I'm

[00:10:02.048]
actually going to use for our walk through

[00:10:04.070]
today. When they scroll down

[00:10:06.149]
here, the financial literacy topics

[00:10:08.279]
are actually going to be found under business and

[00:10:10.379]
economics.

[00:10:13.129]
So let me click into that here and when

[00:10:15.139]
I click and you'll, I don't know if you noticed, let me jump

[00:10:17.229]
back here, but we have 78 topic

[00:10:19.298]
pages related to business and economics.

[00:10:21.690]
So if your students have decided to kind

[00:10:23.788]
of click and browse, just warn them that they're going to

[00:10:25.849]
find a lot on this page

[00:10:27.889]
not all will be directly related, of course

[00:10:30.070]
to um

[00:10:31.798]
financial literacy. Some of them you'll see

[00:10:33.869]
here are about you know,

[00:10:36.029]
agriculture, the alternative energy business

[00:10:38.389]
and things like that. But as they start to

[00:10:40.469]
browse through, they're going to find things that may

[00:10:42.788]
come in handy. So again, economics

[00:10:45.210]
is listed here. We've got credit down

[00:10:47.418]
below here. Consumerism is listed,

[00:10:51.700]
scrolling up and down minimum wage,

[00:10:53.879]
money and banking. So they have a lot of different options

[00:10:56.190]
to take a look at here. They'll even see different,

[00:10:58.729]
businesses listed. So maybe mcdonald's,

[00:11:01.340]
they can click in and take a look at what's going on,

[00:11:03.558]
related to mcdonald's.

[00:11:05.889]
So again, they can point and click to find exactly

[00:11:08.000]
what they're looking for. If they want to,

[00:11:10.038]
they can change their topics listed here.

[00:11:12.440]
So maybe they want to focus more on social

[00:11:14.899]
issues surrounding finance.

[00:11:17.298]
So again, things like minimum wage or,

[00:11:20.259]
you know, unions or things like that, they

[00:11:22.450]
can go here to social issues instead

[00:11:25.710]
if they do know exactly what they're looking for,

[00:11:27.820]
of course, they can run a search instead.

[00:11:29.879]
And what's great is if their search term has

[00:11:32.099]
a topic page attached to it. So let's go to that

[00:11:34.239]
personal finance.

[00:11:36.149]
top

[00:11:38.340]
by page that I mentioned previously. When

[00:11:40.379]
they start typing in their search, you'll see we have these

[00:11:42.460]
pre predictive text options

[00:11:44.489]
here and you'll notice that

[00:11:46.519]
the first three here are bolded.

[00:11:48.629]
So any results that are bolded

[00:11:50.668]
are going to launch students to topic pages

[00:11:53.019]
as opposed to just a standard search results

[00:11:55.178]
page. So let's click into that personal

[00:11:57.479]
finance one.

[00:12:01.590]
There we go.

[00:12:02.599]
And now I will point out that get link that

[00:12:04.619]
I mentioned before. It's in my toolbar up

[00:12:06.719]
top here. So if I wanted to save

[00:12:08.859]
this again, if you're a librarian pulling content

[00:12:11.288]
for teachers and you wanted to save this for

[00:12:13.408]
teachers, you can send out this link if

[00:12:15.690]
you're a teacher and maybe you want to use this topic

[00:12:17.928]
page for an activity you're doing in class or you

[00:12:20.029]
want to pop it into a project syllabus. This

[00:12:22.460]
is a nice way to do that. Just copy and paste

[00:12:24.479]
this link. It is a persistent URL

[00:12:26.678]
and it launches them directly to this page.

[00:12:31.229]
So scrolling down here

[00:12:33.048]
again, you'll see this is going to show us what different

[00:12:35.279]
types of content we have available here.

[00:12:37.529]
Since this is Galen Context High School,

[00:12:39.538]
you'll see, we've got a few, 100 and

[00:12:41.580]
64 academic journal entries that they

[00:12:43.599]
can take a look at

[00:12:44.940]
images, videos, all that good stuff.

[00:12:46.989]
So let's go ahead and keep scrolling here

[00:12:49.239]
and you'll see, we do pull out featured content

[00:12:51.308]
that's focused on whatever the topic is.

[00:12:53.830]
It could be any type of content. Sometimes you'll see

[00:12:55.979]
reference works, sometimes you'll see interesting

[00:12:58.509]
videos and we do pull some of

[00:13:00.519]
those forward under the featured content.

[00:13:02.798]
We have our reference works listed here as well.

[00:13:05.820]
And I do want to scroll to the bottom here

[00:13:08.418]
to show you where you're going to find those related

[00:13:10.428]
topics. So again, this topic page,

[00:13:12.479]
I like to consider this as the very basic

[00:13:15.489]
financial literacy topic pages, just personal

[00:13:17.889]
finance and as they move forward,

[00:13:19.918]
they can get more specific. So we do have

[00:13:21.928]
that credit option here. If we want

[00:13:24.048]
to look at entrepreneurship, money and banking

[00:13:26.259]
in general, if they're ready to look at the stock market

[00:13:28.379]
and investing, we've got a topic page

[00:13:30.609]
for that here as well.

[00:13:33.788]
Now, let me go ahead and scroll up today. I'm going

[00:13:35.889]
to click into our reference

[00:13:38.158]
works because a lot of times that's what

[00:13:40.889]
teachers and students are looking for is just

[00:13:43.019]
articles to support whatever they're learning

[00:13:45.080]
about. So when I click into my reference

[00:13:47.200]
here, you'll see, I've got a whole suite

[00:13:49.489]
of different articles related

[00:13:51.899]
to personal finance

[00:13:54.428]
and I've got some great filters here that are going to be

[00:13:56.509]
helpful, especially since we have 34

[00:13:58.649]
reference articles, that's a fair amount of articles.

[00:14:01.330]
We try to narrow it down when

[00:14:03.349]
they're on a topic page. So they aren't inundated

[00:14:05.428]
with, you know, a huge number of, of articles,

[00:14:07.649]
but 34 is a fair number. So

[00:14:09.950]
they can use our filters here on this right

[00:14:11.979]
hand side, maybe they want to filter based

[00:14:14.190]
on subject here. So goal setting

[00:14:16.320]
is a great one. If they want to learn a bit about interest

[00:14:18.739]
rates, they can narrow the subjects there.

[00:14:22.048]
They can also narrow based on document

[00:14:24.330]
type. So within our our content

[00:14:26.889]
types, we have more specific document types. You'll

[00:14:29.048]
see here. We have some topic overviews,

[00:14:31.918]
an event overview, a couple of tables listed

[00:14:34.239]
here so they can narrow it down that way. Sometimes

[00:14:36.538]
we'll have brief articles listed

[00:14:38.668]
here. So that's a nice way if they just want something quick

[00:14:40.859]
to take a look at, to narrow it down based

[00:14:43.038]
on the document type,

[00:14:45.678]
you'll see, we also have a search was all search

[00:14:48.288]
with an option here as well if they

[00:14:50.349]
want to search through these articles

[00:14:52.859]
and we have a topic finder. I'm not

[00:14:54.950]
going to click in topic finder just yet. I will if we

[00:14:57.019]
have a little bit of time at the end of the session,

[00:14:59.288]
but this can help students make connections

[00:15:01.349]
between different topics. So if they get

[00:15:03.389]
a little bit stuck, you know, they

[00:15:05.469]
need to

[00:15:06.668]
look for something a little more specific, but they don't know what

[00:15:08.788]
that thing is. Topic finder comes in really

[00:15:10.820]
handy,

[00:15:11.840]
but let's click into one of these articles

[00:15:13.979]
here.

[00:15:16.599]
Let's look into budgets and financial goals.

[00:15:19.000]
This is a nice one.

[00:15:21.869]
I mean, I think personally it's a nice one

[00:15:25.269]
and we've got a quick question from

[00:15:26.849]
pa all of these full articles

[00:15:29.080]
or abstracts

[00:15:30.308]
page,

[00:15:31.960]
the majority of our content is going to be full articles.

[00:15:34.489]
There is a small number of abstracts.

[00:15:37.440]
But for the most part, you're going to see

[00:15:39.538]
full articles only when we're talking about

[00:15:41.580]
abstracts and things, you're most likely going to see those

[00:15:44.330]
in the academic journal section as we'll

[00:15:46.418]
find the majority of those but, um,

[00:15:48.700]
I don't know the exact percentage, but

[00:15:50.739]
I would say upwards of 80 90%

[00:15:52.928]
are going to be full text,

[00:16:02.320]
right. So now I've went ahead and clicked into one

[00:16:04.428]
of our articles here. You'll see this is a shorter

[00:16:06.519]
1, 900 words here.

[00:16:08.469]
First I want to show you this sidebar.

[00:16:10.840]
So these sidebars vary. Sometimes

[00:16:13.158]
you'll get key terms, sometimes

[00:16:15.168]
you'll get you know, talking

[00:16:17.279]
points or, you know, main topics of the

[00:16:19.320]
article. This one's got critical thinking

[00:16:21.599]
questions

[00:16:22.710]
and I love this because this is a great bell

[00:16:24.989]
ringer for students. You know, if you're just trying to

[00:16:27.019]
get students engaged while you're taking attendance

[00:16:29.288]
or whatever you need to do at the beginning of your class.

[00:16:31.908]
If you find an article with these critical thinking

[00:16:34.090]
questions, you can send this over to them,

[00:16:37.009]
you can send it over using get link if you want

[00:16:39.080]
just forward it that way or if you're using

[00:16:41.178]
Google classroom at the very top

[00:16:43.190]
here, you can actually send it over to

[00:16:45.200]
your classroom. So if you maybe want

[00:16:47.379]
to make an announcement and have students click into this

[00:16:49.509]
article, answer these critical thinking

[00:16:51.788]
questions,

[00:16:52.928]
you can certainly do that great for homework and again,

[00:16:55.119]
great for a bell ringer activity,

[00:16:57.599]
you can have them answer them together.

[00:17:00.219]
You also have the option to send any article over

[00:17:02.739]
to either your Google or Microsoft Drive.

[00:17:05.180]
This is great for you as educators, but also for

[00:17:07.219]
students, especially if they're planning on maybe

[00:17:09.289]
working in a group. And you want

[00:17:11.459]
to make sure that everyone in that group has access

[00:17:13.759]
to the content, they can share the content,

[00:17:16.019]
they can hit the send to button

[00:17:18.858]
and then send over e either to their Google drive

[00:17:21.049]
their onedrive or they can email it and

[00:17:23.150]
they'll be able to collaborate on this document together.

[00:17:25.479]
So it's a great way to save this information.

[00:17:28.019]
These documents can always be downloaded and

[00:17:30.049]
printed as well. If you or your students prefer

[00:17:32.489]
to have

[00:17:34.219]
the content, that way they'll be able to do that

[00:17:37.959]
scrolling down here. We also have this great explore

[00:17:40.449]
panel so this can help students move forward again

[00:17:42.650]
if they're not comfortable building search terms,

[00:17:45.118]
if they clicked into this article and you know what

[00:17:47.150]
it a it was actually really handy and they want to

[00:17:49.199]
kind of move forward with it,

[00:17:51.939]
they can find more articles that are similar

[00:17:53.989]
to this one

[00:17:55.009]
or they can find subjects that are related

[00:17:57.150]
to this. So if they don't need another article like

[00:17:59.289]
this, you know, they already got this down. Maybe

[00:18:01.729]
they want to learn more about goal setting, you know, they,

[00:18:03.969]
they kind of understand budgeting, but how are they going

[00:18:06.130]
to set their realistic goals?

[00:18:08.439]
They can click into this related subject

[00:18:10.759]
and move forward there. So just another step

[00:18:12.868]
in making sure it's simple for them to find

[00:18:15.098]
their content.

[00:18:18.289]
Now, if you do wanna share this out with your students and you have

[00:18:20.479]
students with a variety of different needs, a variety

[00:18:22.828]
of different um

[00:18:24.509]
access requirements. We have a lot of tools

[00:18:26.588]
that are going to help you with that. So if you

[00:18:28.650]
have students that need this work translated,

[00:18:31.259]
they'll find a translate button right here under

[00:18:33.390]
our kind of

[00:18:35.459]
article information here, they have this translate

[00:18:37.818]
option,

[00:18:38.799]
they can choose whatever language they like.

[00:18:41.199]
And this will translate the article for them.

[00:18:43.559]
They also have the option here to set an interface

[00:18:45.660]
language. So this is going to change

[00:18:47.699]
all of the tools and all of the navigation

[00:18:49.930]
into whatever language they need. So if I change

[00:18:52.019]
this to Spanish here,

[00:18:54.539]
you'll see my tools up top here are in Spanish,

[00:18:56.949]
my search bar, my explore

[00:18:59.019]
panel here, all of the different tools here

[00:19:01.039]
are listed in Spanish as well. So

[00:19:03.059]
students can actually have this whole platform

[00:19:05.410]
switched over to their language and it will

[00:19:07.509]
follow them along throughout the session

[00:19:09.519]
and then they'll be able to go in and just translate

[00:19:11.759]
each article as they move forward.

[00:19:14.039]
But let me switch this out because

[00:19:16.049]
I don't know Spanish, let's go back

[00:19:18.130]
to English here.

[00:19:21.279]
So we'll be able to translate that here. They

[00:19:23.390]
can also increase or decrease the font size.

[00:19:25.750]
So if they are a bit visually

[00:19:27.818]
impaired and they need that increased size, they

[00:19:29.828]
can do that here.

[00:19:31.219]
We've also got some other great display options

[00:19:33.239]
that'll help them out. They could choose the background color

[00:19:35.309]
for their page, whatever works best for them.

[00:19:37.799]
They can also choose a different font. We

[00:19:39.910]
do have a dyslexia font available.

[00:19:42.390]
So if you have students who prefer

[00:19:44.549]
to read with this type, they have that here

[00:19:47.098]
and we can also change the line letter and word

[00:19:49.199]
spacing again to make this really as accessible

[00:19:51.809]
as possible.

[00:19:53.880]
And what's great is this will follow students along throughout

[00:19:56.209]
their session. So once they set it up, how

[00:19:58.309]
they can best read it, it's going to

[00:20:00.489]
follow them along as they click through different articles.

[00:20:03.509]
But I'm going to jump back to default settings here

[00:20:05.680]
today. So

[00:20:08.338]
in addition to kind of those access accessibility

[00:20:11.250]
tools, we also have a listen feature. So

[00:20:13.660]
if students really just want this read to them,

[00:20:15.858]
they're having trouble reading it, even with these

[00:20:18.180]
kind of enhancements that we have here.

[00:20:20.489]
If they hit our listen to, I'm just going to pause this,

[00:20:22.989]
it's going to read through the full article for them

[00:20:25.170]
and it does actually read in whatever language

[00:20:27.420]
they chose. So if they translated this article

[00:20:29.739]
into Spanish,

[00:20:31.118]
when they hit listen and they hit play,

[00:20:33.229]
it's going to read to them in Spanish. So

[00:20:35.309]
they have that option here, they can also download

[00:20:37.709]
the, the AUD audio file if

[00:20:39.739]
they want to take this with them later and take

[00:20:41.799]
a look.

[00:20:43.729]
And they've also got a few settings listed here as

[00:20:45.868]
well. You'll see, they can choose what's

[00:20:48.029]
being highlighted as things are being red.

[00:20:50.250]
They can choose different colors for the words

[00:20:52.358]
and they excuse me, sentence

[00:20:54.380]
all that good stuff. They can also change

[00:20:56.420]
the reading speed. So it defaults to a medium

[00:20:58.670]
speed or they can speed it up or slow

[00:21:00.900]
it down

[00:21:02.719]
quite a few different ways for them

[00:21:05.650]
to access this content.

[00:21:08.598]
And another great feature is our highlighted notes

[00:21:10.868]
tool. So if you want students to

[00:21:12.900]
talk to the text or just to take some notes

[00:21:15.529]
as they're reading through, they can do it virtually,

[00:21:17.910]
you won't need to print out the document and hand them

[00:21:19.949]
highlighters and then try to collect the highlighters

[00:21:21.969]
after they can click and drag over anything

[00:21:24.299]
they think is important. When they do that, they can

[00:21:26.309]
choose a highlight color, they can

[00:21:28.390]
add any notes they want to maybe this is just

[00:21:30.529]
use this for my project.

[00:21:36.420]
You can save that and they can click and drag

[00:21:38.588]
and highlight over anything they think is important

[00:21:41.130]
again. Really nice. If you want them to talk to the

[00:21:43.209]
text and maybe highlight the main ideas that they're

[00:21:45.328]
going to be looking at. Or if this is an

[00:21:47.358]
opinion piece, maybe you want them to highlight

[00:21:49.368]
what the individual's opinion is in one color

[00:21:51.759]
and maybe their evidence in a different color.

[00:21:53.848]
There's a lot of different ways you can use these highlights

[00:21:55.959]
and notes to really engage students

[00:21:58.439]
and these highlights and notes are session based.

[00:22:00.640]
So if your students are planning on using these later,

[00:22:03.250]
you want to make sure they get this document out of the

[00:22:05.269]
platform. They can do that by sending

[00:22:07.529]
it over to their driver, emailing it, they can

[00:22:09.608]
download or they can print and it will bring

[00:22:11.719]
the highlights and notes along with them

[00:22:16.868]
and we have about five minutes. So I do want to show you

[00:22:19.000]
our topic finder that I mentioned previously.

[00:22:21.880]
that was found, let me click back to

[00:22:23.979]
just our reference materials

[00:22:26.140]
here. that's found on

[00:22:28.578]
our search results page or our documents

[00:22:30.618]
page. It's also found under advanced

[00:22:32.910]
search.

[00:22:34.259]
If students just prefer to go directly to topic

[00:22:36.420]
finder, they can do that by clicking into

[00:22:38.539]
advanced search and then topic finder.

[00:22:42.959]
And this is going to help them kind of narrow down

[00:22:45.029]
what they're looking for. So let's

[00:22:48.390]
just search finance here to see what comes

[00:22:50.420]
up when they run a search within topic finder.

[00:22:52.739]
They have this little interactive

[00:22:55.088]
piece here

[00:22:57.309]
that's going to give them some of the top

[00:22:59.328]
terms related to finance.

[00:23:02.400]
So they can start to click through because as you would

[00:23:04.449]
expect, finance is a huge search. And you'll

[00:23:06.539]
see, we've got a huge variety of

[00:23:08.868]
information, anything from companies.

[00:23:11.588]
So, you know, business finance to personal

[00:23:13.729]
finance, campaign finance, dancing,

[00:23:16.170]
of course, is usually a pretty big one. But since we're talking

[00:23:18.449]
about,

[00:23:19.358]
financial literacy. They may want to

[00:23:21.368]
click into personal finance.

[00:23:23.368]
When they do that, we narrow down the different results

[00:23:25.578]
they're going to find. So they've got 34

[00:23:28.199]
results related to finance

[00:23:30.509]
and personal finance and they can take

[00:23:32.729]
it one step lower.

[00:23:35.328]
maybe they want to help. Just look about,

[00:23:37.479]
look at money,

[00:23:38.880]
they can click into money and now we've got here six

[00:23:41.009]
results as opposed to,

[00:23:43.009]
um, you know, the, the thousands, maybe tens

[00:23:45.078]
of thousands they would have gotten if they were to just run

[00:23:47.259]
a basic search for finance. So

[00:23:49.630]
this is a great way for them to click down

[00:23:51.910]
to exactly what they need. Maybe this

[00:23:54.009]
is really interesting to them. Eight easy steps to

[00:23:56.140]
set your finances up.

[00:23:59.500]
There we go. They've got this nice short

[00:24:01.969]
article. And again, they've got all

[00:24:04.068]
of those great tools now that they have that material.

[00:24:07.689]
And I will say a lot of educators have

[00:24:09.920]
students actually start with the topic finder.

[00:24:12.118]
So instead of running a search, they

[00:24:14.130]
have them

[00:24:15.539]
into advanced search, writes, topic finder

[00:24:17.848]
and that just helps them narrow down their results

[00:24:20.068]
instead of them, you know, searching, getting a huge

[00:24:22.390]
list. That's a little bit daunting. They have to

[00:24:24.459]
go directly that way. So that's one great workflow.

[00:24:27.160]
Again, I think when we're talking about financial

[00:24:29.559]
literacy,

[00:24:30.799]
utilizing those topic pages

[00:24:32.848]
and directing students to use topic pages

[00:24:35.489]
comes in really handy because it's that

[00:24:37.650]
nice, clean organized one stop shop

[00:24:40.469]
and it allows students to explore

[00:24:43.049]
on their own, but kind of in a controlled

[00:24:45.150]
environment. They still have one landing point

[00:24:47.309]
that you direct all of the students to.

[00:24:49.539]
so they have kind of that base

[00:24:52.049]
of where they need to be and then they can explore

[00:24:54.390]
on their own. It's a really nice feature

[00:24:56.390]
that I definitely recommend if you're planning

[00:24:58.489]
on starting a financial literacy unit is to

[00:25:00.630]
use those different topic pages.

[00:25:05.459]
Now, that's what I have for you all today, we've got about

[00:25:07.750]
four minutes left. So, are there any questions

[00:25:10.309]
on something I didn't, didn't cover or something

[00:25:12.509]
you want me to take a closer look at?

[00:25:14.818]
But type those into the Q and A. If there are,

[00:25:17.078]
I'm just going to

[00:25:18.299]
jump back to my slides here

[00:25:21.979]
and while you all are typing, if you are typing,

[00:25:24.068]
I've got some wrap up information for

[00:25:26.209]
you. So if you want to talk a little bit more

[00:25:28.608]
about your specific financial

[00:25:30.759]
literacy lessons or how you want to

[00:25:32.969]
implement this resource with your,

[00:25:35.009]
with your learning community,

[00:25:36.739]
you can reach out to your customer success manager

[00:25:38.848]
and they can speak with you one on one to really

[00:25:41.039]
go over what's going to work best for you some

[00:25:43.189]
different best practices

[00:25:45.420]
that they've found that they've developed over time.

[00:25:47.848]
If you don't know who your customer success manager

[00:25:49.910]
is, just send an email to

[00:25:52.439]
[email protected] and we'll forward

[00:25:54.719]
