Gale Training

[00:00:04.000]
Welcome to your Washington State Library training session discover your Gale resources for secondary students. My name is Tammi Van Buren, and I'm your guild trainer, I'm stepping in for the next couple months for amber winters.

[00:00:18.000]
She is on paternity leave so she will be back in I believe October, so you will have me for the next couple months and then amber will be back with you.

[00:00:28.000]
Questions and Answers any questions that you may have please use that q amp a box it is at the bottom of your screen, today's training will focus on how your new Gale In context resources from the Washington State Library can be integrated in six through

[00:00:43.000]
12th grade learning in the classroom, or maybe if you're coming from a public library, you're providing homework help or homeschooling help all of these ways will be incorporated into today's training we are going to really look at learning in the classroom

[00:00:57.000]
today.

[00:00:58.000]
And then focus on the content and features within these three Gale resources the Galel and context resources you have access to for middle school and high school students.

[00:01:11.000]
Our agenda we will start with an overview of the three resources the Gale In context resources, and then we're going to explore content to support student learning classroom instruction and homework help questions, feel free to ask throughout, but I will

[00:01:26.000]
also stay on the session at the end to answer any additional questions that you may have. I will provide you with where the link to where you can go for additional training materials for independent learning or if you're looking for video tutorials.

[00:01:40.000]
And then my contact information. So please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

[00:01:46.000]
Gale In context resources and I like to refer to them as building blocks because you have to end today's session we are going to look at two of those building blocks the building blocks are Gale In context elementary, middle school and high school now we're

[00:02:02.000]
not going to cover Gale In context elementary but I wanted to mention that one because it is designed for a K through five students, it is cross curricular and covers all academic areas, we do have middle schoolers, and sometimes even high school students,

[00:02:18.000]
especially if they're Exceptional Children Special Ed, or English language learners, they may be able to access that information, it may be more at their reading level to use Gale In context elementary so I always like to include it when I'm talking about

[00:02:33.000]
the other two building black resources. So usually our elementary students start in this resource, they move into your Gale In context middle school so this is for sixth through eighth grade students cross curricular resource.

[00:02:49.000]
And those are some of the unique items within this resource poetry and then of course you're going to find all kinds of general reference newspaper magazines, multimedia all of your in context resources or multimedia Gale In context High School is then

[00:03:04.000]
the next level, where your high school students and this starts at a seventh, eighth grade reading level, will you find some middle school content within or reading level within yes and I'm going to show you how to filter down and see if there is any

[00:03:18.000]
Middle School. Lex out that falls into that middle school Lexile measure range within the resource so I'll share it share with you and it's all the tools that I'm going to share with you today are available there shared across all of these resources.

[00:03:34.000]
So the nice thing is if you learn them in one you're going to find them in the other so it keeps it very consistent. And again, this is a cross curricular resource, you're going to find topics within geography, history, science literature social issues

[00:03:46.000]
and more. And then, today we're going to cover global issues, also so Gale In context global issues so are three our middle school, high school and global issues and global issues supports that global awareness exploring issues within government health

[00:04:02.000]
science society and culture and so much more. Again, another resource that is multimedia, and I do consider this one slightly cross curricular because global issues, it's not just for our civics classes are global studies classes, it's being used in science

[00:04:18.000]
it's being used in English it's being used in social studies so it's being used across the curriculum, because it really hits so many spots, and it is the global view of a lot of these different issues.

[00:04:32.000]
So you're going to see a lot of hot topics within this resource to all of these resources are related to content that hits your curriculum standards, and also you're going to find content levels and Lexile measures easily viewable and accessed and even

[00:04:48.000]
filter to within these resources.

[00:04:50.000]
Don't forget to ask any questions if you have any. I'm going to go over a few tools first but I want to share with you spend as much time as we can within the resources so I'm going to go through this quickly just to build your awareness and build your

[00:05:03.000]
background knowledge, how can you share content with your students. You can if you're using Google Classroom you can pull assignments and content directly into Google Classroom.

[00:05:14.000]
You can use the get link option get link will provide a persistent URL back to any spot within the resource. So this is great for lesson plans newsletters learning management systems.

[00:05:27.000]
Maybe you're sharing on social media, get link is a great tool for that.

[00:05:31.000]
And then you also have the ability to send documents and audio files, images to Google and Microsoft right from within the resource itself so when you're at that article level, you'll see these two tools, pop up and available.

[00:05:46.000]
How can you meet the needs of your students well we have some tools built in.

[00:05:51.000]
We have the Translate tool, we are Trent can translate the document into over 40 languages, you can increase or decrease the font size. You can also listen to the text so the text can be turned to speech for greater comprehension by just clicking a button

[00:06:07.000]
you can listen to that text.

[00:06:11.000]
Growing information literacy skills always extremely important when we're working with him databases and just across the curriculum in general highlights and notes highlights and notes is probably one of my favorites where you can select text, click and

[00:06:24.000]
drag over a chunk of text select it, add some notes, and then a section at the top the highlights and notes section will build out as you are working through your session so I could be in multiple articles and be adding just what I've highlighted and

[00:06:40.000]
just my notes and then I can take just that information and put it into my Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive download or print or I can email it to myself too.

[00:06:51.000]
But this is great when you're talking about annotating, or if you're teaching students how to put things into their own words you're talking about plagiarism it's great for a mini lesson pulling out stats or quotes or all of those things.

[00:07:04.000]
You also have the ability to define so if there's a word that a student is struggling with, they can highlight that word, and then click the defined button it also lives in that highlights and notes box, and just click define it and I'll give them a page

[00:07:17.000]
out of the Webster's dictionary is listen to the texts available in any language other than English. Yes. So, that's a great question. I was going to cover that during the session Jesse but thanks for asking.

[00:07:29.000]
So translate when you click the Translate button and you translate the text, and then click on the listen button. If you've selected say Spanish, it will also translate not only the text but also the listen at the same time so you will be listening to

[00:07:42.000]
the text being read in Spanish, so great question. Thank you for asking. and I'll repeat that again later to.

[00:07:53.000]
Okay.

[00:07:57.000]
And then filtering to relevant content, we're going to talk a little bit about these today so we have great tools to filter down the content quickly for you all for your teachers for your students, you can zero in on the results using the the filter toolbox

[00:08:12.000]
here. You also have in the one we've pointed out is the content levels and this is in your in context resources, you're going to see levels one through five.

[00:08:23.000]
And then here are the Lexile measures they correlate to. And you can see below our level ones and twos are generally lower and upper elementary level three is generally our middle school for his high school at five is also I would consider more Upper

[00:08:39.000]
High School and that undergraduate, graduate level.

[00:08:44.000]
So we use Google Translate for the translation tool.

[00:08:48.000]
Thanks for asking that I think that answers your question.

[00:08:53.000]
Yeah, you know, honestly versa so Mirza did share that she notices Google Translate gets things wrong. It's, I would say it's an improvement as to the previous tool we're using short of reading it out loud.

[00:09:05.000]
I think every translate tool is never going to be 100%, but it is definitely something we've been able to add more languages, and it does do a pretty good job I know they're constantly working on improving that translation to so that's the nice thing

[00:09:21.000]
with Google Translate but yeah thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, it is what it is, but you want to read it out loud, that's a great way to get perfect translation right.

[00:09:30.000]
But it is a tool that is available so we're not leaving any students behind topic finder is also an option within your guild resources, it's a visual representation of your search results.

[00:09:42.000]
It's also interactive, and I'm going to share that with you today and where you can find it it is below your filter bar, but you can start off your search right from topics I wonder if you choose to.

[00:09:53.000]
We're also integrated in learning management systems now I just picked two to model for you today or not model just to share with you in this PowerPoint, you and I picked Canvas in school and you some of the most popular ones recently where you have the

[00:10:07.000]
ability once your resources are set up within that learning management system, you can your users or your student teachers I should say teachers and librarians media specialist can create assignments and embed Gale content directly from the databases

[00:10:22.000]
into the assignments. So if you're looking to add just an article or add a video into an assignment, then accessing through Canvas, or school edgy and building out that assignment is the best way to do that because you can pull that content right into

[00:10:40.000]
that assignment it lives there, your students are able to access it right from within, exactly where they're learning.

[00:10:48.000]
Okay, so let's explore the resource itself so we're going to first go into Gale In context Middle School. Now remember this is for sixth through eighth grade students.

[00:10:58.000]
And what is designed for our sixth through eighth grade students so not only with the reading levels but also that the content that you're going to find within this resource.

[00:11:09.000]
So looking at the homepage, and you're going to find these tools and features across all of your guild resources which makes it again very easy for students to go from elementary, middle school to high school, getting the basic search bars here on the

[00:11:24.000]
top of the page in Advanced Search very straightforward information we will touch into advanced search a little bit today, we have the contextual toolbar over here to the right hand side.

[00:11:33.000]
So what happens is, no matter where I'm at within the resource, it's all these tools are going to live here, but they may change because I'm not going to need Browse Topics if I'm at an article level.

[00:11:43.000]
Right, so they will change so that's why we call it a contextual toolbar, it knows to change and support you with what you need and while you're doing your searching.

[00:11:52.000]
We always have these three topics of interest scrolling at the top of the page and these are updated every single month. All of your content just so you're aware all of your content within your guild resources, it's being updated consistently so throughout

[00:12:05.000]
the day, every day new information is being added into the resources so it's great you don't have to do anything on your end you can just access it and find great new content.

[00:12:16.000]
We do have these topics listed below for middle school students. And we have the ability to browse all topics now these are subject categories and each one is linked to a list of topic pages so if I go into let's go into social issues by go into social

[00:12:33.000]
issues I can see all of the topic pages I have available now topic pages, imagine they are a curated collection of content or texts that are available for that subject so if we're looking at privacy or racism, we're going to find all of the content that's

[00:12:52.000]
already been curated for us. These topic pages are created based on, we look at curriculum, we listen to what our folks on the front lines you all are studying week so we take a lot of feedback into consideration we have content editors that work on these

[00:13:08.000]
topic pages and every, they're working on every month, every quarter I get a new list for every resource and all the content that has been added, or curated, they also take a strong look at usage and see what's trending.

[00:13:21.000]
So, all of that is taken into consideration as they're building these curricula and we try to align them to curriculum to the topic pages. Okay. So for today's search we're going to start with just a simple search because I want to point out to you now

[00:13:35.000]
now I could find that I know there's a topic page for this so that's why I choose it but I want to share, when there is a topic page. What you will see is I start to type in I was typing in civil rights movement and searches Sis.

[00:13:48.000]
Sis does pop up and it gives me a few options here the ones that are at the top. I know I have topic pages for now of course, if I wanted to look up Civil War.

[00:13:59.000]
I may not have a topic page on civil war but I have a lot of great content or on civilians. So that's why you're seeing that list continue it really doesn't know where I'm going.

[00:14:08.000]
So it's giving me probably some of the ones that I searched for a lot too but civil rights movement is where I was going.

[00:14:15.000]
So I did choose that topic page civil rights movement.

[00:14:20.000]
And I want to point out to you that right on the homepage of the topic page I do have an image and an essay overview, these essay overviews. I'll click read more to show you.

[00:14:31.000]
Can the level Lexile measure can be changed so right now it's sitting at a level four, but it can be changed in real time to a level three.

[00:14:42.000]
These essay overviews are written by our content editors, so we are able to really manipulate that text add in these great text features, change the level, you know, change the text so it does hit that level three instead of a level four, and vice versa.

[00:15:01.000]
So that can be done on those essay overviews and you're going to see some of those pop up throughout your when you're doing your searching to from other topic pages that may be an essay overview that applies to the one that you're on or content that you're

[00:15:16.000]
on under reference.

[00:15:17.000]
So you have quite a few different content types, we can search within so you do have that ability to just search within this topic page. If I go to basic search, it's going to search the entire database.

[00:15:30.000]
If I search within the results that's going to search just within this topic page so that's a great way to quickly drill down your content, but we have referenced biographies videos, images, audio magazine news primary great primary sources there's even

[00:15:47.000]
some creative works. And then below you're going to find related topic pages so really exploration is never ending. When you click into one topic page because there's so much content linked out here and even additional topic pages to explore.

[00:16:01.000]
for today we are going to go into videos.

[00:16:05.000]
So I can access here.

[00:16:11.000]
So a question came up Is there a mechanism to alert, Gale if a web link is broken. So a web link on a topic page that we've that we vetted. Absolutely.

[00:16:21.000]
Actually I'll share with you at the end you have a customer success manager Marta, they're the best ones to reach out to and they connect directly with product and let them know, and that you know your eyes on these resources if there's anything like

[00:16:33.000]
that, please let us know, because we really want to make sure that it's it's perfect and correct for you all. So thank you for asking that question, but I'll share with you at the end of the session how you can get ahold of your customer success manager

[00:16:48.000]
and then they can send it down through the appropriate path to make sure that it's, it's fixed.

[00:16:54.000]
So looking at our video content.

[00:16:57.000]
What I would, and this is I'm approaching this as maybe I'm a middle school teacher I'm kicking off the unit of study on the civil rights movement, and I'm looking for supplemental content video content I really want to engage my students, and build their

[00:17:11.000]
prior background knowledge or prior knowledge. Before we get started in that unit, and also get them to buy in a little bit, so I could use video I can use a primary source I'm going to show you both today.

[00:17:22.000]
So looking at this video content you're going to find great videos available for under each every subject and you find them a lot on these great topic pages that are created for you some tools that are available, you do have closed captioning, that you

[00:17:39.000]
can turn off or turn on you can make this whole screen and transcripts are available. So I just wanted to point those tools out citations are attached to every single document, images, videos, they're all here they're attached to it, and I can easily.

[00:17:56.000]
If I want to send this video, I can send it I can download it, I can print it, we're going to go over these tools a little bit more, but I wanted to just point out that we do have the closed captioning available in the videos now if you click this listen

[00:18:11.000]
button here. It's going to read this text. You don't have to do anything to listen to the video except for unmuted.

[00:18:19.000]
The video starts up right away I didn't click on anything, it just starts up right away.

[00:18:25.000]
All right, let's go back to this homepage and we're going to go into primary sources this time.

[00:18:31.000]
And I want to use these filters, so maybe I'm looking for primary sources I have 14 which isn't isn't overwhelming. I mean as far as like magazines and newspapers, you're going to find quite a few more copies of those again being updated consistently

[00:18:46.000]
throughout the day. So, but I still want to filter it down because I want to show you first of all the content levels, but also how you can very easily filter content, no matter what type of content you're in.

[00:18:58.000]
So if I click on level three and level four because primary sources are a little bit more challenging because they are the actual primary source so I may want a level three.

[00:19:07.000]
For a middle school but level four to challenge them at that next level to get that first hand account.

[00:19:12.000]
this primary sources a great tool to use for that.

[00:19:16.000]
And here I have a personal account, and there's memoirs there's letters there's diary entries you're going to find all kinds of great primary sources here.

[00:19:26.000]
Within this whole resource, but I clicked on a personal account and this is the rest of Rosa Parks and that's her personal account of that information so you'll start usually a primary sources start with some background information.

[00:19:40.000]
And then below we have that primary source information.

[00:19:46.000]
Okay, now this would be a great time if I wanted to share this with students I could select Get link, and this could create a persistent URL back to this spot within the resource.

[00:19:56.000]
I can also pull this into my Google Classroom.

[00:19:59.000]
And I'm not going to model that for you today I will link out a tutorial on it. But what it does is it will pull it. Let me see if it will show here, usually pops up in a yeah it's popping up in a different window which is a whole other challenge but

[00:20:12.000]
what happens is is you do have the ability to select your class, and then add it to whatever you decide maybe you're making an announcement creating an assignment you can pull it right into Google Classroom into an assignment there too.

[00:20:25.000]
So that's an option within all of your guild resources.

[00:20:29.000]
Also using get link. If you are, we filter down this content, let's say, so I've filtered it to a level three or four maybe I'm creating text sets, or I'm, you know, differentiate instruction is very important using the get link is great for that too,

[00:20:47.000]
because it creates a persistent URL back to all of my content that's at a level three or four, it's not just my primary sources, it filtered everything at once.

[00:20:57.000]
So very helpful.

[00:20:59.000]
Okay, great question about authentication and this comes up a lot. So your students will be able to to access if you're linking using get link to an article they'll be able to read that article.

[00:21:10.000]
If your students are using get linked to get back to all of this content here that that you're seeing on my page, they'll be able to get to this spot, as they do any exploration.

[00:21:20.000]
That's when they'll do their typical login so whatever it is however you have it set up it at in your building. That's how the login if you're using a single sign on we have those capabilities where your students will never have to use any kind of login

[00:21:34.000]
or if you want to add IP addresses for your site, we can do that there's a lot we can do in Gale admin to support you so that your students are directly in the resource if they're accessing through a learning management system.

[00:21:46.000]
They've already authenticated so they don't need to authenticate again. So I hope that answers your question.

[00:21:53.000]
Cassie let me know if there's anything else you have about that, or any questions. Yes So Microsoft, you can pull.

[00:22:01.000]
I mentioned Google Classroom. Let me jump in, I'm going to model that for you real quick. I'm going to go into Gale In context high school so question came up about Microsoft Office.

[00:22:11.000]
And can you pull us into Canvas yes yes yes. Isn't that so great when you can say yes across the board. Yes, you can do all of that. So Gale In context High School, let's take a look at this one and I'm going to talk to you about Microsoft OneDrive, we

[00:22:23.000]
call it One Drive within the resource and Google Drive work the same.

[00:22:30.000]
Okay so question came up if, in some of our school districts teachers access scale via the Public Library using their library cards because of their district won't pay for databases.

[00:22:39.000]
Oh I see, okay and then encourage their students to get cards at the public library system.

[00:22:45.000]
So if you're accessing through the Public Library and you want to distribute an article using get link, they will be able to get to that article, yes, they want to play a video in class.

[00:22:57.000]
Yes, is whatever if you link to that individual document, you'll be able to access that you won't be stopped. When you do additional exploration within the database itself, that's when you'll be prompted for that login, so I could share if I wanted to

[00:23:11.000]
share this, let's say, I'm going to let me go into one right and real quick. I'm going to go to the Jazz Age. So for this one I'm pretending I'm imagining I'm a high school student and I'm doing a study with a group, and I love the jazz agent.

[00:23:27.000]
resource, and I want to share a particular document right and I even if I choose to share it on say Twitter. It's going to reference.

[00:23:40.000]
Then what will happen is, I can grab that link and share it if I let's say share it on Twitter anyone that follows me can access this article, but that's as far as they can go, so you don't have to worry about opening up like maybe you have a ton of Twitter

[00:23:57.000]
followers, we have a professional learning community on Twitter, you don't have to worry about opening it up to everyone and giving free access into these resources that you know the state is providing for you or your school is providing for you.

[00:24:09.000]
So, um you, it does stop you at that point but also for your students you need to make them aware that you can read this article or you can share it in classes you just were sharing an example Martha thank you for doing that.

[00:24:22.000]
how it can be utilized still within your classroom.

[00:24:26.000]
Okay, so we quickly jumped into reference article, let me go back you, we did look at some filtering the results here. So you do I want to also point out publication date you have subjects, I love document type especially for our primary sources probably

[00:24:42.000]
my favorite publication titles, you can multi select if there's certain titles you're looking for Lexile measure which provides you with multiple ranges where you can multi select those content level we went over, you also have search within here too,

[00:24:57.000]
so you don't have to be on the topic page on that homepage, you can search within, even when you're in one of the content types. You also have topic finder here below.

[00:25:07.000]
So I do want to share with you what it looks like to kick off from searching through advanced search into topic finder, but know that it is here too so if I've already in a topic page or I've done a search and I now want to pull that into topic finder

[00:25:20.000]
which remembers that visual representation of my search results. I can do that right here. so it does live below the filter your results. Okay, so let's go into some of the options.

[00:25:32.000]
When you're looking at the resources. I'm going to go into actually featured content and featured content is hand selected information by our editors, it's always a great one to take a look at and it is a smaller there's three in this one there might

[00:25:47.000]
be five, um, some have a little bit more but you're going to find it's a great place to start to if you're not using that se overview as a starting point this is another great place to start.

[00:25:57.000]
So here I am, I love this article, I definitely want to keep it. So what can I do, I can send it to Google Drive send it to Microsoft, email, download or print.

[00:26:09.000]
Now these are my quick send tools, if I'm reading this article and I get to the bottom like oh yeah definitely want to keep this one. You also have the contextual contextual toolbar that's changing so I have that sent to download and print understand

[00:26:22.000]
two is Google, Microsoft, and email, are all available citations are automatically attached to every document so before I send it. If I want to change it from mm MLA eighth edition which it's defaulted to to APA, I can do that and then send it to Microsoft

[00:26:41.000]
OneDrive, if I want to. Same with download and print. If I want to change the citation at all I can do that before I do, I can also choose where I'd like to export it to.

[00:26:51.000]
Now I do say if you're going to export it I would use the citation tool up here at the top, because here you can change this would just give you the citation, that's it it's not going to give you the entire document, but it will give you that citation

[00:27:05.000]
and you can export it to any of these other options, too, and again change that format before you do.

[00:27:12.000]
But I do want to point out that the citation is attached to everything within your resource. You also have this great explore panel and this provides you with more like this if you're working on a group project you found one article you like it's really

[00:27:26.000]
easy to jump to another article and do some additional exploration and bring that back to your group, this article happens to have article contents and then we even have some related subjects so that explore panel can be extremely helpful to.

[00:27:41.000]
Okay, last thing I want to cover before I leave this is leave this resource and jump into the last one and we're right towards the end of our time is we have the few of those tools I mentioned in the PowerPoint.

[00:27:53.000]
That's why I do the PowerPoint, because I never know how much time we're going to have planning and questions are two different things so translate article here, we can translate up to or over I should say just over We're at 41 right now 40 languages.

[00:28:08.000]
You can also translate the interface and what that'll do is it'll translate all these navigational tools, you can do that as soon as you sit down, also so you sit down to the resource you're on the homepage.

[00:28:20.000]
You can translate all of those navigational tools and we're at 34 languages here to translate the article you do need to be in the article and click that translate button, here's where you can decrease and increase the font size, and you also have the

[00:28:35.000]
listen button here.

[00:28:38.000]
There's also the ability to download this as an mp3.

[00:28:43.000]
And there's also some additional tools under settings that you may want to explore.

[00:28:48.000]
And we'll probably cover those in a, in a future session to what I want to share with you the accessibility tools we talked about the quick send tools within this resource I do want to touch into advanced search and just show you I was going to do a search

[00:29:05.000]
but work towards the end of our time here so that this is as advanced search, advanced search for you all is probably pretty straightforward. For our middle school, high school students and can be a little bit more challenging we do so we're hearing from

[00:29:17.000]
and you're probably hearing this to higher ed is definitely wanting students to be able to do develop have those research skills before they reach them so we're seeing a lot more schools approaching Advanced Search especially for their 11th and 12th graders

[00:29:32.000]
and using this as a tool. So you do have quite a few fields available.

[00:29:38.000]
And every time I change it. It gives me the explanation here so that's really helpful search tips are also available here really helpful so we have given some guidance, whenever you put in a search term, it automatically if you use search assist.

[00:29:57.000]
Starting type in the roaring 20s. And if I use search assist, which probably wasn't the best one. Let's do Al Capone what it'll do is it'll automatically put it in quotation marks for me so all of those words, it's going to look for that subject, I would

[00:30:13.000]
probably change this one to either keyword or entire document, and look for all of these terms.

[00:30:20.000]
While it's doing my search, you also have the ability to look for peer reviewed journals which are going to be on your academic journals, they are labeled there and your search results too, but if you want to filter by that first level documents content

[00:30:34.000]
types publication dates document even your content levels are here.

[00:30:40.000]
So you can do that this can really be as simple or as complex as you want.

[00:30:44.000]
Okay, the last resource I wanted to share with you is global issues, global issues remember is looking at exactly that hot social topics across the globe.

[00:30:56.000]
So it's you're seeing all sides to to an issue that is probably something that's trending on we have, again, this goes, there's a lot of historical here too, but a lot of what's happening new is going to be on this homepage, you're going to see these

[00:31:11.000]
three topics of interest or issues of interest here on the homepage and then below are all those subject categories and topic page topic pages listed.

[00:31:23.000]
We go into society and culture. Actually, let's go well, I want to just point out, and we do have, I want to share, we do have a lot of diversity, equity inclusion content, it has been being added for well over a year now.

[00:31:39.000]
We always had a lot but we've been adding more and more to all of your resources, especially are in context resources. So if that's the topic of study within your buildings within your classrooms.

[00:31:49.000]
Please take a look at the content we have we also have some great webinars looking at our in context resources and diversity, equity inclusion content available and also our literature resources so we have two webinars to on the support site where all

[00:32:04.000]
those training materials are well I wanted to share with you a couple different things.

[00:32:09.000]
And we're going to first take a look at.

[00:32:11.000]
Quickly, global warming.

[00:32:14.000]
Because what's unique in your, your global issues resource is you have these viewpoints.

[00:32:22.000]
This is something that's unique in this resource, because the viewpoints, have an article commentary and three questions. So this gives you some background information, maybe it's talking about the editor maybe it's talking, or the, the author may be

[00:32:37.000]
talking about the topic a little bit more so it's getting some background information and then you have these questions to consider, you're going to find questions, always in the viewpoints, but also you may find critical thinking questions you're going

[00:32:52.000]
to start finding them and our reference and our biographies, starting from late 2017 to present so if you look at those types of publications, we are adding more and more critical thinking questions to those types of documents so you'll find them in those

[00:33:05.000]
content types. Okay, so that is I just want to point that one out that's unique in this resource, all the tools and features are the same we've gone over all of them so nothing has changed their last thing I want to share with you

[00:33:16.000]
The last thing I want to share with you is advanced search, and then I'll get to the questions that are I can see adding up here in the q amp a box I'm going to save those for the end. Topic finder is a quick way to do a search I'm going to try a different search I'm going to do climate

[00:33:34.000]
change at this time.

[00:33:38.000]
So, this again that visual representation of your search results, it pulls back these tiles, we also have the visualization of the wheel. So both are available students prefer tiles so that's why it's defaulted.

[00:33:51.000]
And you can see all of these topics here, great, especially when you're talking about students there's key words here that they may not have considered.

[00:33:59.000]
So taking a look at that content might trigger some ideas for them topics they want to pull into their projects or their papers I this is one of my favorites to do a search with students, and we're going to go into extreme weather and you can see how

[00:34:12.000]
quickly I typed in climate change. I made one click, and then here I can go into all other and really drill down my focus so I clicked on extreme weather.

[00:34:24.000]
And I actually see right here on the right hand side an article that I'm interested in. So there's 18 different articles I could click again into wildfires and it would drill down even more so it's interactive.

[00:34:36.000]
When I get into this article.

[00:34:39.000]
And this is August 9 2021, so just earlier this month. I have again more like this available but I also have that highlights and notes which I shared with you and highlights and notes I can highlight text, make some notes and save it.

[00:34:57.000]
Now my best practice to share with you is if I am accessing these documents I found some content I'm really interested in. And I want to keep it.

[00:35:09.000]
I would definitely my best practice is to then send this to Microsoft OneDrive, or Google I know use Microsoft more in Washington, email, download or print are available.

[00:35:21.000]
Now if you use get link. It's not get link is going to take you back to this article within the database, but it's not going to take you to this highlighted information so if you want to share this with your students if you're using this tool or maybe

[00:35:34.000]
you're teaching a mini lesson on highlights and notes. please send it to Microsoft OneDrive email download or print, because then not only will the article go there but everything you've highlighted in any text or any notes that you've taken will also

[00:35:49.000]
go with it and it turns it into a Word document. So it's really beautiful and it's very very easy to use and you have it in your OneDrive until are in your Microsoft OneDrive until you choose to delete it.

[00:36:01.000]
What happens is a folder is created titled, whatever resource you're in so we're engaging context global issues, it's automatically created and then this document will land in that folder, and it's there until I want to get rid of it.

[00:36:15.000]
The first time your users your students are accessing this they will be asked for permission, the permission is can we create a folder, and put content into it basically is what we're asking once they've granted that permission, they don't have to worry

[00:36:28.000]
about it moving forward so that that really is helpful, so they can put information directly into that folder. But, and then after when they log out that connection is severed, so we don't keep that information they're not creating accounts on these resources,

[00:36:44.000]
they are putting stuff right into their Google or into their Microsoft OneDrive.

[00:36:49.000]
Okay, so that was I just wanted to show you topic finder and highlights and notes highlights and notes also builds out over here so what's happening is, I'm going to go back to topic finder and choose a different article to show you just reset.

[00:37:07.000]
Let's go into this one.

[00:37:11.000]
And I'm just going to highlight this first section here real quick and say, Okay, so what happens is this highlights and notes section is being built out, because I'm in the singular session on this one resource.

[00:37:24.000]
So, every time I highlight anything. This section, I like to call them digital notes is being built out for me. I have my first my second article my first one is here below, I can edit my notes are here I didn't even add any notes, maybe these are quotes

[00:37:40.000]
I want to use later and save that your bibliography is being built out. You can change the format of that Bibliography from MLA eighth edition to APA, you also have the citation tool, where your bibliography is being built out, so it's beautiful, you

[00:37:58.000]
can send your document. Again best practice you like that document I liked this one that I just did some highlighting on. First thing, send it to Microsoft OneDrive print, email download.

[00:38:09.000]
Second thing, come in here, you want these, these digital notes, then come into this section the highlights and notes section and do something with it, you can send it.

[00:38:19.000]
You can download and you can print. You can also label it before you send it so if every purple is a quote, and these are mine. That's why it's popping up it's not a drop down menu I just use some fairly often, it creates a legend for me, but you do want

[00:38:34.000]
to make sure before you leave the session or walk away from your computer because you don't want it to timeout on you.

[00:38:41.000]
You want to make sure that you do something with this information and that's what the this warning is right here.

[00:38:48.000]
Okay. I just have a few slides and then I'll get to the the last of the questions here, and I can come back into the resources at any time. I promised I would share with you where you can find additional training materials before I do, if we have any

[00:39:02.000]
academic folks on the line. We do have an academic session coming up on September 9, and it's what to use one so we're going to really take a look at those academic resources that you have from the Washington State Library your guild resources and what

[00:39:16.000]
you would use and when you would use them, and that is September 9 at 11am pacific time where you can go for training materials, this will be in your follow up email to, but support gmail.com.

[00:39:28.000]
This is our everything you're going to find Training Center training materials, you're going to find marketing materials here on the training materials video tutorials.

[00:39:37.000]
There's also tip sheets and scavenger hunts and lesson plans available. We have created also a specific site for Washington State Library and you'll find a lot of great content there.

[00:39:50.000]
Also, where the upcoming webinars that we have and this recording will actually live there two principal tools we have resource guides which and tip sheets that you can print off and, and also posters bookmarks that are available.

[00:40:05.000]
We also have great electronic tools so if you're getting ready to share this and promote these resources we've created everything for you we have email templates.

[00:40:13.000]
We have social media posts with images for every social media you can think of. It's available we've already created it for you. And it's a great way to share information with your entire audience or your public library.

[00:40:27.000]
Okay so that wraps our session I will get to the questions again my name is Tammi Van Buren watch for my email, feel free to ask me any questions that you may have.

[00:40:36.000]
I had mentioned Gale Customer Success managers if you're looking for that support you want to set up your single sign on using Microsoft or if you're using Canvas, or school year any learning management system and you want that support setting up your

[00:40:49.000]
resources, contact your customer success manager this email will go to a general email box and they will forward it to the person that covers your territory and they will reach out to you directly.

[00:41:00.000]
Another way to connect with them is, if you do go to the support site the Galel support site, you are able to once you log in with your information and there's a way to do that if you don't know your login information which is called the location ID.

[00:41:14.000]
We do have a help there for you where you can find your location ID. They will actually pop up the customer success manager that covers your territory will pop up on the screen and you can email them right from there are also book a time on their calendar

[00:41:28.000]
and they'll call you. So think of that consider that they're there for that one on one support training survey, it should pop up when the session ends.

[00:41:36.000]
If not, I would love to get your feedback, so please leave me some information there there is a comment section to if you want to leave me some comments but also if you're looking for additional training we will share that with the state of Washington.

[00:41:49.000]
And at at the State Library there and look at future sessions so that your input will be very helpful there too. So that wraps up our session. And I'm going to get back to these questions so those of you that have to jump off Thank you so much for your

[00:42:03.000]
time today and I hope you join us again.

[00:42:03.000]
today and I hope you join us again. Okay, so we have a question Can you pull it into Canvas as well. So john couple things that you can do with Canvas is once your resources your resources are set up within Canvas, so there is a few things that have to

[00:42:19.000]
happen on the canvas side and we have the tools for you available on the Galel side or your tech person, then you can go into Canvas, create an assignment and your, your guild resources are already there.

[00:42:32.000]
In the meantime, if you're waiting for your guild resources to be set up within Canvas, what you can do is use get link, get link is going to be the quickest way to do that.

[00:42:42.000]
Now, when your students click on that link just like with any external link, it's going to open in a new window. When you have guild resources set up within Canvas or schools, or any learning management system, they'll still live in that instance so they'll

[00:42:57.000]
still live in Canvas they won't be going to an outside link. Once you're embedding that content. Okay, so there is some setup, but it can be done.

[00:43:07.000]
Is it also compatible with what we covered that yes, definitely Microsoft Office, Microsoft OneDrive, we call it in the resources.

[00:43:18.000]
How do you compare global issues to opposing viewpoints. Okay, Chrissy great question. I love both these resources. And did you know that you can cross search them both at the same time, if you have access now Opposing Viewpoints is not something that's

[00:43:30.000]
included in the Washington State Library package but a lot of you may already have purchased this or your schools purchased it.

[00:43:38.000]
It is another one of my favorites so global issues is exactly that, its global it's looking at issues around the globe were Opposing Viewpoints does have some global aspects to it but it is looking more at what's happening in the US.

[00:43:53.000]
One of my favorite searches to do in both of these resources I'll do we have to history resources to and I usually do cold war because you can see both sides of the issue but I like to look at.

[00:44:06.000]
Actually one of the ones I use today global warming and climate change, because, looking at both of the global the effects of it globally. And then also Opposing Viewpoints gives you more of that us look.

[00:44:19.000]
So thanks for asking that question about the difference between the two.

[00:44:24.000]
Our students have Chromebooks so they don't have the MS Word can they save. Yes, so they can save content directly if they're using Google they can save it directly using their Google Drive they can send it to their Google Drive.

[00:44:37.000]
And they can also download it, I don't know if you, if there are 121, or if these are classroom sets of Chromebooks maybe you don't want them downloading things but they can use in Google Drive is going to be their best bet.

[00:44:47.000]
So if they're using Chromebooks it's a real seamless process and I modeled our shared with you where you can find it at the article level, using the sun to or those quicksand options, let me know if you want me to go over that again Joan.

[00:45:02.000]
Okay miss the beginning of the webinar.

[00:45:08.000]
Okay, so I don't share we don't share the password for the Washington State Library resources there is a form that you do need to fill out and I'll include that in the follow up email.

[00:45:21.000]
There is a form that you need to to fill out for the Washington State Library and once you're set up and do whatever they require you to do on there and then you'll receive a welcome letter from Gale that will have all the information that you need to

[00:45:34.000]
access your Gale resources, the Galel support site is completely open and anyone can access, you don't need a password to access that.

[00:45:43.000]
But if you have your location if you're looking for your location ID if that's what you're referring to, you do have that option, it's right below the login where you can find your location.

[00:45:54.000]
So if that's what you're referring to, I kind of wanted to cover both there since you had asked that question let me know if you have any other questions on that.

[00:46:03.000]
Okay, I wasn't I wasn't planning on sending the slides but i can i can include the slides in the follow up email since you asked, I'll definitely include those slides if you find them helpful, they will be there in that follow up email to there'll be

[00:46:15.000]
a link to where you can locate them.

[00:46:18.000]
Alright, so let me know if there are any other questions again I'll stay on the line a little bit but for those I am going to stop the recording. You're welcome.
