welcome to the online resource is for the classroom.
Webinar. We're going to start
by going to the clever launchpad Some of
our online resource is for library media have been
moved to the clever launchpad, So I want to show those to you now.
First, we have Destiny, which is our
library catalog. This is where students can
go to search for books for in
the physical library collection and where they can look for e
books and audiobooks.
Also, there is the Gale
online database and e book site, which is
contains academic journals and
articles, and a lot of multimedia
resource is that students can use to build their projects.
There's also teaching books dot net, which you should
see on your clever launchpad. I don't have it on
mind just yet, but it is being updated,
so hopefully we'll see that there soon. Teaching
books dot net is a great resource to support novel
study or if you are working on a curricular
areas, any curricular area and a
theme for that area and you have a nonfiction book that might
support that work, then this thes resource is
would be greatly beneficial to that lesson.
I'm going to click here on campus
to begin, and when
campus opens, it's going to take you to the
dashboard. So when it brings you to the dashboard, you can
see all of your course cards off course
is that you're a member of or that you have created or participated
in. Over on the left side is what we
call the global navigation bar, and it is blue
and at the bottom there's the resource is
link and they help link. Now they are one and
the same. But when I click, resource is a window or
panel expands to the right, and that's where I can
see all of the resource is available to
teachers and students. The such as the teachers
textbook, the student textbook and resource is virtual
counselors here, but we're gonna focus our energies right
here in the library. Media resource is, I do want to
point out that there's also the digital resource is are easy as
123 course that supports all
things related to canvass, including the digital tools
that are integrated within the canvas platform. So let's
go back up to the library, media resource is, and let's begin
our exploration.
So first we have a paragraph on our library. Media
research resource is page. That kind of just gives
the background information of thes resource is,
but I want to draw your attention to this click here link
because it takes you to a course in campus
that provides useful videos, step by
step instructional videos that show you how to use each of these.
Resource is there's also a video here that
explains how to access the online databases
as well as a PdF that directs you step
by step in. Accessing the database is because there are two
ways that you can access. The database is
one way is to access them through canvas, which we're doing
now, and the second way is to access them through
destiny, which I'll show you in a little bit.
Okay, so I'm going to go back to the library
Media research resource is Page, and I'm going to scroll
down and we're going to take a look at at thes
resource is I'm going to start with Destiny now. We
just put some of our products on the clever launchpad,
as we've mentioned earlier so I can click
here the clever launchpad to get to destiny.
And when it opens, I can just click Destiny.
And when Destiny finally opens, you're gonna see that
there are levels on the left side. So you choose your
level. I'm gonna choose middle school. Since I formally
worked at a middle school, I'm gonna choose my former
school silver legs middle,
and it takes me to the Silver Lake's middle landing page.
Now, if your school does not have a media specialist, you're going to see a
page that's kind of bear. Um, but if you have a media
specialist, this page would be more populated with Resource is and
links. So I'm going to click
on the library. Media resource is page, which is just to
show you that it's the same page that we saw from the
campus page. So that's a one way that you can
access it through destiny. And there's also the
Broward County Library. K 12 online resource
is which are fabulous if students have a Broward
County library card or if they have
opted into the digital direct card, which comes
out in thes beginning of the school year when parents have the
online forms to fill out or the student code of
conduct. There's a link to
parent forms, and in the parent form
there's an option to opt their child into the
digital direct card. Resource is, and it gives them
access to a lot of wonderful resource is on the Broward County
Public Library website, and I'm just
scrolling through I want especially to. The learning
resource is link because it offers
Broward D Tutor, and it is available every day
from 2 to 11 p.m. Students must have
a laptop, laptop or
and access to the Internet in order to utilize this
tool. But a person from the public
library will assist the student in
completing their, um, whatever
problem that they're running into with their homework.
So it's great for those students who go home to an empty house where
maybe the parents working late or if they go home
thio home, where their parents do not speak
English. Andi, they might need assistance with their
homework, so someone will greet them. How may I help
you with your homework assignment? They will come on
and, you know, just assist the students in getting through
whatever they difficulty is with their
homework. They're not there to do the homework for them. They are just there
to assist them in solving the problem.
Okay, so I'm just going through. You can see some of the other re sources that are
available through the Broward County Public Library.
Okay, Now I'm going to
in the upper right hand corner. I'm back on the silver.
Lacks middle school page in destiny. I'm gonna
click log in in the upper right hand corner and it
brings me to a page that has two
areas for log in. We do not want to use this area.
We want to click the blue Strip, so
clicking the blue Strip should make you have
access into destiny.
And when you land on the thieves Silver Lake's middle school, your school
home page, you probably you're only going to see three tabs here.
I see a few more because I was the media specialist at
that school at one time, So I just kept my access,
and I'm gonna also select catalog.
You can see a little orange line comes up underneath when I make that
selection. And I'm also going to choose on the left side
Destiny discovered, and you can see a
little orange line off to the left side.
It brings me to a page of
learning length. My recommendation, though, is to
use the library resource page to access. These
resource is rather than from this destiny page. Sometimes
they don't offer as many of the same resource
is, you can also click the
Access 3 60 Magic Wall,
and this takes you to the E books and
audiobooks. This is through our
partnership with the Broward County Library. Aziz Well,
and students can just come here. If they see
that a book. We just go down a little bit to show
you that if a book is available, it
will say, Check out if it is not available, is going to
say Add to wish list. But I have some
books already checked out to me,
and I'm just going to click Read now. But let
me point out. This little down carrot means
that you can download the book and read it offline,
or you can return the book early. Students are
allowed to have the book checked out for two weeks, and then it
automatically returns. So that's a nice
feature and I'm gonna click. Read
now,
takes a minute for the book to open.
And when it does open, you're going to see that there
are little
arrows on the right and left side. Here's the right
and then the left side. Okay, that will help you
advance the pages. So I'm just going to click,
and I'm gonna get to a page. Okay, so now
I have some tools in the top right of my page. If I
click the A, I can adjust the fought size.
I can adjust the page layout to a single page or
to the double page. I can adjust the theme
background color. Right now, black is selected, and some of
these colors are a little easier on the eye. So if you have students
with vision issues, that might be a way to
accommodate their, um, whatever their vision needs
are I'm going to click out of those display
options. And next you have a book marking tool to bookmark the
page that you stopped reading on. You can
actually make a note and
highlight your text. So let's try that. I'm going
to just highlight of sentence and I'm gonna
ask to highlight it in purple. So
now when I come over here to my note, there's
my purple line indicating that that is thesis entrance
that I highlighted. I can also add a
note just by typing in
okay, and then I can save that note so it
will stay there. I can continue to edit the note if I
want to. I can delete it if I want to. Also,
if I highlight of word
and I want to know the meaning, I can look it up.
There's a dictionary here that's built in. I
can also search it on Google and I concert it on
the Web, so that's a nice feature to have that
accessibility. There's
also a way that you can search within the book for
certain words, and there's a help
menu in case you forget. What to would you have access to
and what you can do within the book. On the
left side of the page, there's a little menu. See the three
lines. If I click them, I can see that I wanted. If I want
to read this book off line, I can click here to download the book
okay. And these with this area, it shows all the books that I've
downloaded to read. And I can
log out of my book if I'm finished reading for the night.
And my table of contents is here is well,
so I'm gonna long out of this book right now telling me that
I logged out successfully. And
so that is a e book.
Let's look at a audio book shows. Listen,
now again, I have the carrot where I could return the book
early or just let it return automatically. After two
weeks, I'm going to click. Listen now, just
so that you can hear the audio book
and there are a few tools in the upper right hand corner
where you can adjust the speed of the reading.
You can bookmark where you left off, and you can even set a
timer for how long you want to be
reading or listening in this case. And I'm going to
click the play button.
I know I'm not an ordinary kid.
Sure I do ordinary things. I ride a
bike. Okay, so just a little taste of
what you can expect when you are listening to an e
book. and I'm going to go here
to log out mhm.
That is destiny. I'm going to go back
to our Let me just show you this and
destiny before I log out. There's also a
button here for the library. Media resource is taking you back to the
page that we're going back to right now. Yeah,
in this video, we're going to continue our exploration of the
library. Media Research Resource is
starting with a P s physics. This site
offers scholarly journals that can be used
in research for students studying physics. I can
click the link here right now. It says school access, but
we're working from home, most of us so we can click it and it
will take us to the page that offers links
that you can search the type of physics you're
interested in. As you can see, they're different topics and you
can find academic journal articles there
going to go back and we're gonna go to
teaching books dot Net. This is another one of our
latest products that has been added to the clever
launchpad. And I just checked and it is now
on my clever launchpad, so I'm happy about that. So
we're gonna update this page and take out these school
and home access links because we no longer need them. We just need to
go to the clever launchpad for this site.
And
Wallach. The link is here teaching books dot
net. So I'm going to click there,
and it takes me right into teaching books
at the top of the page. I can search by
title author or keyword. As I was
saying, This is a resource to support novel,
study or curricular theme that you're working
on. And maybe you've had the students read a
novel, and now you have some
supporting lessons from teaching books dot net that you
can use to support what they were reading
or studying. If they're using, um, a curricular
thing, they could also search by I ESPN
number That is that long string of numbers on the back of a book right
below the barcode. You can browse,
which we're going to do in just a second. There's a link here for
teachers instructors Congar here to find re sources such
as lesson plans. Right above that is a
translator tool so you can translate
the of work in
different languages.
See if we go Terry Cobbs so you can select the different
languages. And here,
if I scroll down it says, Browse. Our resource is Aiken.
Start there. It says. Start
enjoying over 177,000. Resource
is about Children's and young adult books that
also includes non fiction as well. They have
categorized the links for students and the
links for educators and adults.

If the books have earned awards and distinctions, you confined the
books listed here, so it's a great
resource, or books and
finding out which books will support your curriculum.
I'm going to click collections over here on the left and
show you that you can browse by grade level by
curricular area. So it's not just reading and language arts.
It's all different curricular areas
genre. I can search by genre. I can
search by cultural area. I can
search by the publication date. I can also
search by the resource format
by resource type, and
I want to point out that there are videos in here. Meet the author
videos, meet the author recordings, audio
name pronunciations and that's pronunciation of the author's name. Some of
them are a little tricky. There's also
book trailers, book guides and lesson
plans. Readers, theater scripts, E. I
mean tons of resource is and lessons that you can use
to support the reading of a novel or
nonfiction work. And I want to point out
here Vocabulary list. This is integrated with vocabulary
dot com, which will look at in a little bit.
Special collections are listed here as well,
so I'm not a type in the book. Wonder
by R. J. Palacio. You haven't read it. It's a terrific
book. If you are wanting to,
um hone in on your students characteristics
of S e L. Then This is a great book to
teach empathy and compassion,
and it's just a great, well written
book. It was one of my favorites when I was teaching at the middle school
I can share. This page of Resource is just by
clicking that little arrow and there's a link the copy to my
clipboard. I can share that with a teacher that I know is
studying SCL characteristics,
and I can also, if I scroll down, I
could email that information, put it on my calendar. You know a
lot of options here to share this information.
I can also add it to a reading list. And I have
shared these links out with teachers when they tell me that of a book that
they are using with their students and when they see the
wealth of resource is, they are just
thrilled to receive them. So here is telling us the book
by um, R. J. Palacio Wonder
has 40. Resource is six. It has earned
six awards. You can view it's text
complexity. You can discover books that are similar to this
book. Um, you can listen to the Meet the

shows the grade level genre cultural
area I scroll down. It
shows our original resource is

Author interviews,
book guides, activities and lessons,
book readings,
book trailers,
vocabulary list. And
I'm just going to click here so you can see on vocabulary dot
com. The book Wonder has
a list of books of words
that can be practiced, so there's 30 words for Part
one, Part two and Part three, and the students could just
click here to start their practice, which is a great way to
begin the story. Maybe the students
struggle with vocabulary, and maybe they could practice that before they
began reading the book. So it's a great resource. I
hope you'll check it out and
we're going to keep moving on. So that was teaching. Books dot net,
and now it is on the clever launchpad. So happy about
that. Next is Sunsentinel.
Sunsentinel has home access and
school access, and this offers lesson
plans for teachers. There are activities for students if they're
studying current events. This is a great resource to use.
I'm going to skip tumble books that's going to be featured in a separate
video on one of my colleagues is going
to be sharing that I did show you the Broward County

is, where students have that have a Broward County library card

different topics. Some are
controversial topics as well
or students.
Okay, so I'm going to scroll back up
to the top just to show you that
all of these re sources are available on
this page and we have
another couple of segments of this training of this
webinar so that you can access and learn more
about some of these other databases that are featured on this
page. Okay. Thank you for
listening.
Welcome. In this session, I will be highlighting
Britannica Online encyclopedia to
excess Britannica. From canvas, you go to the blue. Global
navigation resource is when that opens
up, you're going to click the fifth, the fifth one down.
Library media resource is this takes
you to all of the online databases we're going to scroll down. Britannica
is the second one for school access. You would click
here from home access you would click here. It does
ask for a user name. The user name is your four digit school
code. In order to find your four digit school code, you can click
here and you can upload the list of
thescore rules with their code. The password is
Broward now, because I have accessed
the online database Britannica previously. It takes me
directly into my account and this is the
Britannica page. The first thing that I want you to notice
is that we have the three levels. I am going to start
first with the launch packs. Launch packs are
topics that have been arranged in packs
with all the resource is for that
topic. There are two different types of launch packs,
social studies and science launch packs.
You can filter them by grade, level
or by category. Now, Britannica
is a free service that is provided to you by Broward County
public schools. I do recommend that you open
your own free up teacher account.
When you do that, you have options and the availability
to different features. So I'm going to show you. As you can
see, I am already logged in, and I do want to show you
some of the features that are available. So when
I scroll down, I can see the different
topics for the launch packs, and I can see that within
each one of them. It tells me the title, and then what is
all in that pack? This has three articles, six
images, a video, Ah, primary source and to learning.
Resource is things tells me it's for, uh, grades
nine through 12 for high school. When I click on this,
it's going to show me all of the resource is available. Now. I
am logged in, so I have the activities option
here as well, but you'll notice that you can
customize it. You can add activities. They
are the curriculum standards listed here. I can mark this
as a favorite. I can assign it or I
can send it. There's a cool option here.
You can email, or if you click on Microsoft teams
on the logo, it's going to open up Microsoft
teams, and you can share this launch pack to a
channel. You can create an assignment, or you can copy the link right
here and share that in a canvas course.
You'll notice as we scroll down that within the articles,
it'll give you Ah, little summary, and it tells us the reading
level. There is a level
two, which is middle school, and you'll notice that it's a little lighter.
The one that's bold ID the level three for high school lets us
know that this article is at this level. There are
images, videos.
There is a primary source, and there are
two. Learning resource is in order to see the
learning resource is you could click on it.
It'll download. You can open it up,
look it over and decide if this is something you do want to use with your
students. If you decide that you do want to use this, you can
now upload it from your computer into your canvas
course and the same with the other, um,
with the other learning resource within the
launch packs. As I said, you can go back from
of social studies to science launch packs
simply by clicking over here because I am logged in.
I do have different options of things that I can do right here,
different options for activities and things that I could
do with the launch packs. I am going
to go back to my regular
Britannica,
and I'm going to explore the elementary level.
Notice that when you explore the elementary level, the format, the
layout is similar at all levels. They're just more age appropriate. As we
go through. They all have a scrolling screen along the top.
These are the categories that are in all of them. The only
one that is different is the fundamentals for pre K through
second grade or for struggling students. There are four
options here. The first one is read, read.
If you click on a story, me
and you in this book, you will.
I love that it highlights one word at a time. Also,
each of these have activities in the back of the book and, um,
different games that you can play within each story.
The next one is explore, and these air bios of the
world. When you click on the bio, um, you
will see a little introductory video at the bottom. And then there's a
little pin mark to mark the places in the world where that
bio, where that they're Bayram, exists. Um, and you
could just switch to whichever bio you're interested in finding out about
play allows you to play games that are both math or
language arts and then create just
allows creative outlet for the students to draw or create
something. We're gonna close that one.
I do want to show you that you could do a search right from the
top search. I do the title of what I'm looking
for. I'm looking for Ruby Bridges. I'm going to
click on her name. When I do that, it shows
me all the resource is that they have. So here's a
video. There are images. This would be related
information. This is our article.
This is a level one elementary, but it's also available at a
level two. If I click here, it will read it
to me. Ruby Bridges was a child who played an important
part in the civil rights movement. You'll notice
that the civil rights movement is highlighted. If I wanted to
click on that link, it would take me to information about that topic.
If there is any word that I don't understand or don't know, I
can double click on it and the dictionary opens up, gives
me the definition I can click for a full definition. It
offers it in Spanish as well.
Over here, I can mark this as a favorite, and it would add it to
my, uh, my content as a favorite.
I can print or email it. I can
cite this. There is I
can increase or decrease the font. This can translate in
over 70 different languages. What a great
feature for our language learners and
also the same feature with the Microsoft teams. If I click here, it will give me
the same options from earlier. There's a did you know and
teacher information. From a student's point of view,
if they clicked on student, they would see
the topics here and under my content would be
anything that they've annotated or any notes that they've taken.
I'm going to show you my content, so because I am logged
in, you'll see that the things that I've marked as favorites
will appear here. I can create a new resource
pack of my own, and if I create any lesson plans, they would
be in this link. I
can also go back.
Let's go to the lesson plan brows. I
can filter the lesson plan brows by
age or by by
subject notice that these are not just the regular classroom
subjects they do have. E s L Fine arts
Sports Special ed. So let's click on
geography and we're gonna refresh all the
lesson plans will appear here. This tells me the date it was
created. The topic. A little summary thes
air the subjects that it's applicable for the grade
level the duration to present this and then the author,
and you'll notice that some are educators. Others are sample
plans from Britannica, and then you click load more and you can
access more. I'm going to click back on
Britannica because I want to go to middle
school and you'll notice
here that the layout is the same. It's just more age appropriate.
These are the same categories we saw before. There is a
scrolling screen. They've added a Can you
guess you can compare countries and explore
biographies right here with the biographies and giving you
three filters era association and known
for. They have recommended primary sources
that did you know at a glance,
new and revised articles and additional
recommendations gonna go back. I'm going
to click on Britannica again. There is a search here, which you would
do the same as we did with elementary clicking on Britannica
so I can show you high school
and you'll notice that it's a similar layout, a
similar format. Here's our scrolling screen,
our categories with biographies. They've added a new
filter. They've added gender. There are
flashbacks, new and updated
information. Primary sources
they've added on this day in history.
News from The New York Times is only available at the high school level
and additional recommendations.
One of the wonderful things about these online resource
is that we're sharing with you today and Britannica
is that all of these resource is are safe.
So when you were doing research projects or having your
students find information, this is a safe place for them to
go. It's reliable, The information is
current, and it has been carefully curated
for students. So instead of sending them and they go out to
Google or Wikipedia and get lots of different information, this is a
safe place to get accurate information.
I hope you have a chance to explore Britannica and that
you find this presentation helpful. Thank you for your

information for you to email, tumble book and
request access to one or all of
these re sources that are available to you right now for free
until August 31st. So those are the three
that I wanted to show you. But the one
that we have always is, um, Tumble Book Library.
This is for elementary students, and in the
home page you'll notice that there is a
scrolling screen of the book of the day. And so each of the
categories, these are all the categories that they have. Storybooks read
along e books, graphic novels,
nonfiction videos, language learning playlists
and puzzles on the scrolling screen. It's going to show you the video
or the book of the day yesterday and for today.
If you scroll down, you'll see any new books. If you
see this logo, that means it's a tumble tune, a song,
any current events or current
days that we want to celebrate, they would have
books related to that topic right here. There are
graphic novels, E books, and
then, as you scroll down at the very bottom, you will see well,
here we have authors and then coming soon,
some wonderful books that air coming soon. Let's go back up to the
top, and I'm going to click on the first link the storybooks.
And when the storybooks load again, they're in different categories.
And what I love about the Robert Munch and the John Lithgow
books is that they are reading the books themselves. So
if you want to click on one of their books, it's going
to give you the cover of the book.
A little synopsis. The book details Author,
illustrator, publisher Word count Tumble Time is how long it
takes for this book to be read reading level
and accelerated reader information if you click here.
If it did have a knack accelerated reader quiz, it would
give you that information here
on the other side. We can play the video. Add to favorites. Add to
playlist. There's a quiz lesson plans and book
like a book report template. We're going to click right
here
and it's going to play for us. Uh huh,
Yeah. Okay. Why
marsupial soon? I don't can't
Booth e
o. It rattled her
brain on Gave her migraine a backache.
Side a Tell me. All right, So
you've got an idea. Adorable story. And the students
really enjoy, um, hearing the stories read to them.
It's also great for the Littles who love that repetition
and memorize the story, which helps them. Then you get the
fluency of a story read. The lungs are some
chapter books, and I'm going
to just show you some of the different categories that they have.
But I'm going to click on one of the books. Let's do this one here,
and when you click on it, you have the same book. Details.
See, this one has a our info. It does. It gives you the
quiz number I used to post the quiz number so
that the students would have an easier time locating
that quiz. Sometimes they make mistakes with punctuation
or spelling. This made it a lot easier.
And then it will tell you how many points the word count the level
over here when we click on read online
notice. It's a little different down here. We have
different options. Here's the chapter menu. You could click on the different
chapters. You can bookmark a
page. There are different text options that
you could change the size, the spacing,
the font, the color options that you could
change my notes. If
you took any notes anywhere, you can write notes right here and save
them. And then here's the help. You can
turn pages by clicking on the green
arrows back or forth. And if you want it to be read to you,
you would click the play button right here. Chapter one,
The slip. Do you live here?
Emily looked up from her sketchbook and notice
again. That is reading one, um, one
sentence at a time. So this is
another wonderful resource,
and that is the real logs E books. They have
some great new E books.
Wonderful Kate to Camilla books these air Beautiful books. This is my
favorite book ever, and when you click on it,
it will give you the same details and to read
online. So wonderful book graphic
novels, I can tell you that as a media specialist, graphic
novels are hugely popular with students right now, and you
have different early readers, advanced readers and different
genres of graphic novels.
Nonfiction books have some is broken down into different
categories like animals, history, geography,
science, biographies, insects, seasons.
And when you click on one of the um, books,
it does the same thing. It will have the information
you can read online and a little summary. What's
great about the nonfiction books is that many of them have a
corresponding video. The videos are all National
Geographic videos, and they are under five minutes. They have
some beautiful, beautiful books, Uh,
videos Here, let's let's click on Let's Do the
Chimps And again, the same
information
What allegedly separates humans
from the so called lower animals? Supposedly, it's the
ability to make and use tools. Okay, so
you've got an idea of how that works, and they have some wonderful,
wonderful videos here. And as I said before, many of
them have corresponding nonfiction, um, titles to go with
it. Language learning are books that air in Spanish
or French, and these books are
have corresponding books in English. So
this one here has 50 below zero
in English so that they can you see in both languages and they're in
French and in English.
Playlists are playlists that have been created for
you. Some of them are by time
or by category. These were bilingual playlists,
English, early readers, nonfiction. Each of
the playlists will show you the length of this playlist. So
this one here animal adaptations is 20 minutes. When you
click on it. It's going to show you the different titles
included in this in this
playlist. So it's just a way to group
the book, the book titles by categories.
And then finally, we have puzzles and games, and the puzzles and
games are they have new games, memory
games in Spanish and these air all games that have, um, that
come from books that are in Temple, the
library. So this is the
tub of a resource. It is a wonderful resource. As I said
earlier, you currently have access to tumble
math. Let's do a
multiplication. In
order to get access to this, you would
write them, send them an email and request
access to this. They'll send you a user name and a password. I will
give you that information in just a moment. Remember, we have team
book cloud wonderful stories in here
and then, of course, audiobook cloud.
Now, if you want to have access to any of those, resource
is you have until, um,
August 31st, and this is what you would do. You would
write. Send an email to info at tumble books dot com,
and you can tell them which one or all of them that you would request

wonderful resource. And the great thing about tumble book is
that it is unlimited. That means every single student in your
class could be reading that same book at the exact
same time. Okay, I'm
going to go back into our, um,
course again to remind you
this if you click here, this is where you can access all of
the information about the resource is that we have shared with you.
I hope that you find this helpful. And,
um, please know that we are available to help you in any way. We
can be safe, everyone
and have a beautiful day. Thanks for joining me.
Another database that I'd like to take you on a journey of
exploration with is the gale online
databases. We can celebrate because now we can
access that data based, um, link directly
from our clever dashboard, someone to click on that link,
and it's going to take me to where I can select the
appropriate level that I would like to explore for
the gale databases. I'm going to scroll down, and I'm gonna
use my middle school, um, link, which I'm gonna use for
Silver Lake's middle school, as I used to work at
Silver Lake's. And I am going to show you a little bit about the
products we currently have, where the middle school
15 available products that are here
to use with the middle school.
The elementary has two products,
and the high school has 18 products,
which you're an additional three tiles. There are
also e books that are available to be used with
students, Um, and for teacher purposes,
I'm going to click on this, ask a bug book
when it opens up, I'm going to click on the book
itself so I can view it online, and I can
read the book online. Teachers who have record
ICS or um promising boards in their classroom
can use the annotation feature. Thio annotate
the item with their students. They can click the buttons
the advanced left or right as they read through the
document with the students in their class. So
just be aware that you have access to these books. Let me
close this one out. That is more maybe an elementary book, but
also notice. For example, there is a Business Plans handbook, those
of you who are high school or secondary teachers, you have access
to those resources as well that you are able
to open and utilize with your students as
they explore various topics. Um, together,
sometimes it's hard to find a book that you can use with
your entire class. Here you have e books that you are able
to click on and to go to specific content
and study the different topics that are
here with your students. And I'm just trying to load
one so you can get a quick overview off the
information that is here that you again can use with
your students in class. All right, closing out
the e books. I'm going to go back to the
products that I want us to take a look at.
So you can see some of the resource is that are available to
use with the students. So from the
products page, remember their 15 of these products for the
middle school? I'm going to select the gale in Context
Middle school. I could have selected any of the other ones.
Um, but I just want to use that one for today because it's just more
generic in nature. From here, we can see
that we have a search bar that we can use to search for.
Resource is that we are looking for on the
right hand side, and I'm gonna do my screen in a
bit. Um, you have a signing for Google and
you have a Microsoft sign in Broward County Does have
this integration, someone to click on it, and it's gonna
sign me in using the authentication
information that I use in clever toe log
in to the gale data basis
below. Um, and let me bring this back so you can see a little bit
more. You can see that you can browse by topic titlist,
go through your previous search history. If you're looking for something you did
before. Um, where did I do it or what did I find? You can
go back to your previous search history. You can get a link, and you can
use See the highlights in notes that you have taken on
any document that you've worked on recently
document or documents.
They have topics of interests that are on the front
that you can go through. There are three that are
highlighted each day. There
also topics below that you can browse
by, um, and it's broken down, Um,
in my culture, geography, etcetera. And then you can look at
all of those topics that they have
available to the left. You have
educated resource is that you can click on,
and you can look for things by the standards. So if I
wanted to search by the state standard, I would click
ST Standard, stroll down to Florida,
then notices you can select the different subject. It could
be language arts, math. It could be science
or social studies that you can then filtered
through and find the resource that you are
looking for to work with your students.
And I think this is just a really great to the
teachers have that they can use with their students. You
will notice here just on this basic topic, it tells you the
number of references, number of newspaper article, number of
images and audio, the audio
materials that are available, as well as magazine articles
that are related to the human to the subject.
Human geography. You can click the link to
read more about the different topics that are provided
there. Clicking
back my Gail in context. Homelink. I'm gonna come
down to the bottom, and I'm gonna go to my educator. Resource is
Page, please explore these
various tip sheets and worksheets that they provide for
students. For example, there's a tip sheet on how to make an
outline so you could click on the tip sheet and
share this with your students. Um, they talked about the
different types off outlined there are.
And, um, whether they're ordered a coordinated,
interconnected. So the parts work together as a
whole. Um, is it flexible enough to allow for growth?
Um, and it walks students through providing
them, um, a means for ordering their
thoughts on topics. It provides a sample
solution, and then the students will be able
to use that information in creating
their own, um, their own
resource on organizing an outline.
They then provide a worksheet that the students can then
use, um, to work with these worksheets
and tip sheets. You are able to download them and
then upload them into
canvas for your students to work with
them coming back,
um, to the home page.
I'm going to scroll down, and I'm just gonna explore one of these
topics. Let's say vaccination. I'm gonna
click to explore the topic. When I get to the
next page, it says, Read more, which tells me that there is
more about the topic that I can get into.
Um, it also tells me the number off reference items
there are, and you will see that they're linked below the
biographies. It says there three, you will see that they're listed
here Magazines there 8 99
and they're down here. Let me scroll down just
here. Um, the number off images and
videos are also listed here. And so if I
saw an image I wanted to use in class as an
instructor, I can right click that image, save it, and then
uploaded into my canvas course, and it will be fine to
use because the district has paid for it. So I'm not
violating copyright three. Only thing that we would recommend is that you
provide attribution by citing the source where it
came from. The same thing
applies to the videos that are here. You can
download and import any of them into your canvas course
because these air resource is that brought accounting. Public school has
paid for, for use a teacher to use with the students.
One thing that we love to recommend about you using our
resources and we are able to say is that these resources are
valid, reliable. They have been researched. And so
we know that and you used to allies in them with your
students. You do not have to be concerned. That thes
resource is, um, you know, may
have erroneous information in them. Many times
when students get a topic for research, they quickly go to
Google, type in this certain type in their request,
and then take the first set of results that come back
without really analyzing whether those
information the information is reliable. If it's
vetted etcetera and they don't know how to do that. This is
still they have to learn. So we suggest using the
databases with them as they learned that
skill. So when I click the read more
article here, you will notice
that I have some features available at me Suman over
time so that this will help. So we have here
the date. This is 2020 when this was put out. We see
we have a translate feature so they can click and select
a language of their choosing. If English is not their
first language, they can change the size off the
text. They
also have the ability to listen to it being read
using the Texas speech feature.
Listen, listen, listen, listen,
listen, listen,
listen. Pause. Listen.
Listen.
So they can use a Texas speech feature to listen to the
article being read. My computer was given problems. I needed to
refresh it. But now that it has buffered, let's listen to it being
read it. Vaccinations are treatments that help the body
defend itself against disease and infection.
One of the things I love about the gale database
as it reads information to the students, is that it highlights the
words so that struggling readers and students who need that
accommodation are able to make connection with the
pronunciation of the words as well as the
spelling off the words as seen on screen.
They also have the ability both teachers and students to save
Thio any off the integrations that they have access to
so teachers can search tape or student can search
safe to Google Drive drive or Microsoft One
drive. Broward County is a Microsoft district. So we in
courage students to use the Microsoft integration,
and I'm gonna show you how that works in a few minutes. Um, the
advantages of using the Microsoft integration over a
Google drive. We will also they also have the ability thio
email the document to themselves or to click the
download button and download a copy. So as a
teacher, if I wanted to download this document and
then be able to put it into canvas, I find the article
downloaded and notice here it opens for me,
and I can then upload this into canvas. It even has a
citation information, so I don't have toe worry about
looking for that because it's already providing
attribution But being embedded in the article. I just have to
click it and upload it to the
right for the right. We see that the
number off words, um, that are in the
article, we see the
content level that is available and
the lexa level that is also
available to be utilized. There are
additional, um, re sources and
articles that are here that can be
used. And in this case, it's about vaccine and
vaccinations. You know, it It even goes back and
looked at smallpox and other, um,
related, uh, diseases that have
been around that relate to the topic off
vaccines and vaccinations. Now, one of the
nice things about this is, um, with
the gale database, students were ableto highlight words
they don't know and click the define,
um, option that comes up on the option box so that it
can give them the definition off the word. So for student
is working through, they don't know the word just highlight, click
define, and it gives them the definition of the word.
Um, if students wanted to make special notes
about something they saw in the reading, they can
highlight it. And I'm going to click the notes
feature, and I am going to type What
ball research?
Various treatments
available. Once I've typed my note, I
hit the save button and it saves it for me.
I'm going to scroll down and find skylights.
Something else here. Um, just so
you can see how that, um, note feature works.
Find out more about small
pox and what we
can learn
from it.
How? Pardon me how it was handled.
For example again, I had saved
if there particular things I want to highlight just because
it stands out to me, I can highlight the words
Click on highlight and notice. I can change the
color to reflect what I wanted.
Thio What I want. I can highlight again.
So like the highlight, too, and choose a
different color. So I have the option here
off using either the highlight tools, the notes or the
definition toe. Help me as I work through my
research process. Once I have
completed taken all my notes, I
have the ability here to click the one drug
button, and when I click on it, it tells me
that my documents have been sent to Microsoft one drive and will
appear in office 3. 65 cloud. Shortly,
I will hit the okay button so that
it accepts that. And I want to show you one of the
feature here before I leave this page Notice at
the top here. Now it shows me that I have
notes and highlights. I can click on it, and it
shows me the various notes and highlights that I
have taken on this document.
Now, to find that document that I downloaded
just a few minutes ago, I need to go back
to Clever. Who? The office.
3. 65.
And once it loads, I am going to go to my
one drive folder because I know that's where the document
resides. I go toe one drive,
and I'm gonna search within one drive for the folder that's
labeled Gail in context. You do not set
these folders up the minute you hit that save button,
it automatically generates a folder to your
one drive and save the file there. So if you never,
ever done it before the first time you do it, it will save
it for you. I'm gonna click Gail in Context
Middle School. And here is my
vaccines and vaccinations document. It says.
I did it about a minute ago, so I know it's a correct one.
I will click on it. It will open up here
my highlights that I have made and there's
so much information at the top again, it tells you the database.
It came from the company that this is a topic
overview that there's 746 words.
Um, the content level is at a level three, and,
um, the Lexa level information disappeared. But remember,
it was on the original article, and it tells me here, this is the
full text. So I'm seeing not just what I highlighted
but the entire text here. So students will have
that. You could ask them to take the uses and summarize what they've
learned from the article. Um, and below
that they will also see any types of off
notes and highlights
highlights they have made on the document
itself. It's in Microsoft Word,
which means that it's easily and readily at a
tubal, and that's a good thing. So again,
remember, we go too clever from clever. We click office
3 65 when Office 3
65 opens. I go toe one drive and from
within one drive I look for my Gail in
context database, and I would find it there.
So going back to my products, the high school would be
similar. I just want to show you the elementary for a middle
minute, part me. So give me a second to
go back and see if it will allow me without having to
sign. Awesome. Somebody just jumped out here
to an elementary school. Um,
and I want to select Silver Lake's. Remember, I
advise you that the elementary only had
to, um, resource is available. The gale
e books that we looked at earlier as well as kids
in four bits
I will sign and again and you will notice the
interface is a little bit more friendlier to
the lower grade levels. They are coming out with an
update on the 29th of May, and I'm excitingly
excitedly looking forward to that. I would love to see what they're doing.
With that. You will notice that enemy zoom in on my
screen. You will notice that I'm still signed in.
Although I changed databases, I'm still
signed in. And so now I can go into the
elementary level, and I can, um, click
on a topic of my choosing. I could search if I wanted to
search, but less. I just wanted to click on a topic here.
I'm going to click on Birds.
I'm going to click on parents
and you will tell you the number of articles that are
available. Notice over here is as content types,
um, book articles, pictures, magazines,
news and so you can click on that. And just
like you did before, it will give you the same access
of information. Once it opens up for you toe,
peruse the articles. You can do the text to speech by
clicking the play button again here, and it will read the
article to you. You can right click the image, save it to your
computer, uploaded into canvas. If that's what you
desire to do, you can click the citation
information you can highlights and take notes. Just a sui did. And
the other document. We can send it toe one dry,
and I'm gonna send it to one drive because I want you to notice that
it is a kid's info bits, so it's not gonna be in the gale in
context. I'm gonna take you there and show you where to find
that again. Remember, whichever database you are in,
that's the one you will look to when you send something toe
one drive. You can print email downloaded
copy as we did before it says So I want a PdF
or HTML. I want the pdf version of the
document to be downloaded. I'm going to click on
it and here it opens up the article again for
me coming back to my kids in four Bits
folder I can save it, I to a folder and I
can share it and I can translate it. So
please know that the younger kids have the same options.
Is the older kids The text is much
simpler? The font is a little bit bigger. Um, they use
more images and videos with them. Um, but they
do have access to the same resource is
now, with that in mind, I'm going to come back to
my clever portal. And remember when you went to
office 3. 65 to find the
documents that we had downloaded? I'm gonna click
it one more time, and it's gonna load. I'm gonna go toe one
drive because I know it's already told me to my one drive
folder, But this time I'm going to scroll down. And
instead of looking for Gail, even though it's a gale
item, I need to go to kids info
bits, which is the elementary level,
um, version of the products notice here. I have
parents, parakeets and cockatoos.
Sorry, and the document comes here. I didn't make any
highlights. I didn't take any notes, but it
added that document here. So the students could even come
here inward and do mark ups on it. They could
underline they can summarize certain areas using
this feature. So that is an overview of the
various products that are within the gale data
basis. I hope you find this information
useful to both you and your students. Um, and
if you have any questions, be sure to check back with us, and we'll
be more than happy to answer those questions.
Today. We're gonna take you into a deeper dive into
using the service proquest database to access it. I'm
gonna go to canvass and one from
canvas. I will select the Blue Global
Navigation Select resource is
and I'm going to go to the library. Media resource is
okay, scroll down
and I'm going to go into the service ProQuest databases that
are available.
I will enter the user name and password
minus saved. So it logs me and
automatically Prior to Cove in 19
we did not have access to the proquest Siri's.
I'm not sure if it will be available after this, so I'll just give a
brief overview off what the resources are that are
available within the database that you can
explore at your own convenience. Please remember, they might not be
there after, um, the cove in 19 has
been after Cove in 19 has been resolved. We have scholarly
articles, books, dissertation and thesis
newspapers, along with trade magazines, reports,
wire feeds, blog's podcast websites,
conference papers and proceedings as well as working
papers. Encyclopedia is government, um, in
official publications that you can have access to here
and search through them to use with your
students. Both teachers and students have access to this
resource. Generally speaking, we have
access to our servers, discoverer for grades one through
nine, and serves knowledge source for the
high school level I'm going to go into the service discoverer
first. When it launches, it
will put us on the launch page.
Forcers discoverer. There is a
home button that is available in the upper
left hand corner. There are research topics
that are listed here. Please note that those
research topics are also available here
under need help choosing a topic. There's
also listing for various types of nonfictional
books that are available that you can also have
access to those. Resource is
there is also a search field in the middle, so that if
we're topic doesn't fit into one of those broad categories we looked
at earlier. You can click with in here and type and search
for your specific topic on the left. We
have a long in button for Microsoft, however,
that integration has not yet been completed for Broward County

also a Google log in that if you want to log in through your
Google account, you do have access to that
right below the log. In information you will find the
educator resource is link. If you click that, it takes you
to this page where you can find additional resource is
that if you is an educated one of partisan painting, you can
participate in the blog's the training webinars that air
provided, as well as explore their lip guide.
Um, they also have newsletters that they send out that you can
subscribe to. If you wish to. And generally speaking within
here you would have the, um, curriculum support
materials that you could use with your students they
are under. They are revamping those materials, and so
currently they are not here. But I pointed it out because I wanted
you to be able to come back and check frequently to see if they
are. They're so that you can use them with your students.
Go back to home. I am
gonna show you what else is available on the homepage. We have
trending topics. You can see some of the topics that are available right
now. Homework, cellphones, virtual classroom school
uniforms, thes air, hot button topics, as I would call them
with students. And then we have the editor's picks that are
located. Um, just below that, So those air items
that are available So let's take a look
at one of these, um topics that might be
something that could be explored. Let's look, for example,
homework. If we click the homework topic, it
takes you to a pretty much a summary off the topic.
In its essence, you will see there are terms to know
essential questions, more viewpoints in critical
thinking questions in visual literacy. If you click any
the link, it scrolls down to that section on
the page. There is also a
read full summary button that allows you to
expand and read the full summary off the
article. There is also a text to
speech feature, which allows you toe here the article
being read to you
contents. Terms to know. Essential question. More viewpoints,
Critical thinking, questions, Visual literacy Homework is a source of stress in
many American households. This stress is worse than families when both
parents work outside the home. So students who need that accommodation
can click the Texas speech icon, and it will be
plate. It will read through the document for them.
Um, if you want to save to one of the cloud based
drives, Um, since we don't have the Microsoft integration
available, please know that you can save to Google If you wish,
decide the document click site, and when it
loads, you would click to change its intellect. The
citation style that you would prefer to use. You can
then copy that information and then go to
Microsoft Word and paste it there. You also have the
ability to print the document or the email it to
yourself for the lower level students, the
elementary and the middle school students. They have included
terms to know such terms that would help the students to
understand the articles that air being read, such as busy work for
classroom and what its homework. In this essence,
there's also an essential question. Should students be
assigned homework? So as a teacher, you wouldn't have to come up with your own
essential question? You can use the essential questions they have here
from the essential question they launch into opposing
viewpoints. So they're two viewpoints represented here.
Homework helps improve academic performance or
homework disrupts family time For each of the
viewpoints provided, you will notice that there are articles that
go along with those few points.
Additionally, you will see that there are more viewpoints that they
have that are listed here that students and teachers
have to explore their critical thinking question
here, such as Which point which viewpoint about homework
you most strongly agree with and why? What are
the 33 arguments that supports your viewpoint? And how does
homework inspect your family lifestyle
by students responding to these questions? They're able to connect
to the actual topic and
personalize it to their own experiences, and actually
will be have more ownership off the topic because it
relates to them. Each lesson has a
visual literacy cartoon, and this one says
cartoon homework overloaded kids and you can
see the kid can barely move as the bag with all the
homework materials is pulling them down. And so it acts. And what
is the cartoonists viewpoint about home homework? How
does the cartoon issues exaggeration to get this point across? And how do
you feel when you are overloaded with homework?
And then it gives them an opportunity to click this link
to find more Homer Re sources that are available
coming back up for a bed, I'm gonna click on one of the
viewpoints. It really doesn't matter which one, but I just wanna
show you additional features that are available. Once you
select the actual article that you are going
to read, remember the first pages just basically an overview
off the topic itself. And then you get to the
actual article again, notice that you
do have the Texas speech feature that is available so
that accommodation is there. However, at the
top, it also tells you what type off a
resource is is. It's a newspaper. Who is the
author? The publication company and when it
was published when it was published, along with
Alexis Score, so that might be useful for
some teachers. It also gives the opposite
opportunity for you to translate to another
language. So students that English is not their native language
can click that button and it will translate it for them. What a
good feature that is for our students to have access to
and then below. We have the actual article itself
that students are able to look through and to
read for themselves again. Remember, they can download
the article. They consigned it. They can email that they can print it.
Those features are available to them. So that is, for the
servers. Discover again. You remember serves.
Discover is for the elementary through middle
school. It stands out from the skirt serves knowledge
quest. Which knowledge? Butcher we're gonna go into next.
Because this one is blue. The Blue Strip will let you know that you're in
theory, lower level, um, database. Um, Monica,
click back here, go to my service
knowledge source, which is generally used for the upper
level schools. And you will know that this interface this
similar in nature for both to the
elementary middle package give it a
second to load again. You have the home
tab, then you have the leading issues.
Um, articles that are listed by various
categories or topics here
below that as soon as my page loads,
you should see the trend in top. You should see the
search box. But below that, you will see the trending topics
and editors picked just like we did before and
again here one more time. Are are leading issues,
articles, um that we also can access from
here. I am gonna select again because
everything else is basically the same. The educated
resource is our here. I'll come back to that in a minute. But
here if I click on the homework article, the same topic
that I selected before again. You will
notice it has the summary of the contents on
the topic. You will have the Texas speech
icon that is here for you to listen. You can again
save site print or email the
document, Um, and this time the essential
question is slightly different. Should homework be abolished?
Homework? This viewpoint one is homework disrupts family time.
Viewpoint to homework helps improve academic
performance. Here they do provide
some research guides that I will show you in a minute that will
allow students to explore that topic even
further. The critical thinking questions are
here. How much Homer should students be
assigned at the grade school level? Have
middle and high school and explain answers. What kind of
homework assignment, if any, you think are most
worthwhile? And should teachers consider other act activities or students
are involved in such a sports worker church when assigning
homework, Why or why not? We also
have our, um, editorial cartoon where the
student is saying to the teacher Honest Russia hacked
my homework film part of me Russia
hacked my computer and stole my homework and you could see
the expression of the students face and the expression of the teachers
face below that we have the
timeline, which shows that the how the
topic has evolved over the
years and you can click the full timeline to explored.
You will notice that the timeline is in the secondary one. But it
is not in the, um, elementary, the
discoverer, which is for elementary and the middle
school going back up to the
top and are educated resources
within the sirs.
Um, knowledge, the service issues
researcher. If I can get my link toe work,
you will notice that the resources are similar in nature.
As to the Discover, however, the curriculum
information that was missing inthe e lower level
grades are here. So let's take a look at the
editorial cartoons. When you click on it.
It opens up, and it provides a wealth of information
here that allows students to analyze
editorial cartoons. It teaches them about water
editorial cartoons were they published and where they
important, and that gets them to explore looking for
those within the databases thin. They start to
analyze the editorial cartoons by looking
at the cartoon title. The name of the cartoonist
publication the People, um, and events in depicted
within the cartoon. Then they looked at the craft and
structures of symbolism, exaggeration,
oversimplification. And as the student works
through each area, they are able
to start understanding how
editorial cartoons can impact or tell a story
all on their own. After the students have
gone through this in its entirety, they're then
able to create their own editorial
cartoon, looking at the different types of techniques
that were shared area and selecting which of
these techniques they included in their own
political cartoons that they have created.
I will also look at the Servers Research
Guide, which was shared. I'm going to click the word
document Virgin Office. You will
notice that each resource comes in either PdF or word
format. They're both at a tubal where, meaning they can both be
typed in so teachers. You can download these and upload
them into canvas to use with your students. However, I would recommend, if you
wanna add it to take up parts of this information,
you may want to download the word document format off the
document. I'm going to click the expand
button and enable editing, and I'm gonna zoom in just a
bit so we can see the document.
So here the document allows the
students to look at the topic off interest they're
gonna choose. Then they need to reflect on their
purpose for writing. Are they gonna pursue it,
inform right for speech or prepare for debate?
Um, what are the Who is their audience
or the personal or geographic appeal based upon
the document that it's there and the students are able toe
work through all the various areas
as they prep themselves to
actually, um, use this
document in their research process.
I will not go over in great detail because if you look at
the video with using the
resource is in canvas. I've covered the these
items in more detail. Please. No, we would not have enough
time to cover each of these items. So, at your own
convenience, go through and look at the ones that we have not
discussed today. Yeah, they also have note
organizes that will help you that you are gonna work
with if you're trying toe right, prep to right
so the students can click in here, right? The topic that
they are working on, then to put the viewpoints
and then find the reasons and supporting evidence
that they will be using in their
defense off writing to for particulate
viewpoint. So they will be able to look at the viewpoint they
support, as well as provide information for the opposing
viewpoints and students who are preparing for a debate. This is actually
excellent tool for them to use within that preparatory
process. I am going to
go back to the home page off the service issue,
researcher researchers, or I'm getting tongue tied today,
and then I'm going to click on homework once
again, and I would like to select one
of the articles. So again you can be
familiarized with them. You will notice again. It is
very similar in nature to that of the service
Discover it tells you. Um, the
type off resource is, is the author,
the company that published it, the data
publication the LEX. I'll score the summary of the
article, and then the actual article comes below it,
and you will note as well
that there is also the ability to
translate this item. So this is an
overview off the servers um,
issues, Researchers database and the servers
