 Hi, my name is Jennifer Galardi. I'm from Milpitas Adult School, and I'm gonna talk about teaching with YouTube, particularly build playlist to deliver curated contents. There was a question in the chat about creating videos on Apple with Apple products. Same problem, I've had that same problem when you've taken things vertically and you want it to be horizontal. You import it into, I think it's the Apple video editor. I think it's QuickTime or something like that. No, it's not QuickTime, but then you basically hit it and touch it, touch the screen and you can twist it, twist it so you can refocus it and reshape it within that video. Maybe I can do a demo of that at the very end, okay? Any other questions? Feel free to put them into the chat box. We're gonna talk about creating a YouTube channel. We're gonna identify patterns and resources for the YouTube channel. We're gonna talk specifically about delivering playlist to deliver that content and then sharing that content. And then we're gonna talk about using YouTube inside and outside of the classroom. One of the things, before we begin, we're talking about how we're using YouTube now. Well, specifically I wanna talk about using YouTube and especially during this time for distance learning and especially for the classroom. And we always have to talk about what our content is and how do we expect our YouTube channel to be used. So a lot of people have learning management systems or so they might be using Canvas or Google Classrooms or they might be using a language management system from ReadWorks or one from Newzella or whatever the case may be. You can use YouTube almost the same way where you can basically put your content or you want this video content that you want your students to review in one place and organize them into playlists. I wanna talk about a basic pattern of a channel. On the top of the channel, you usually have your header which usually identifies your school or your class. You always have a featured video and this is a short video welcoming people to your channel. You wanna, a lot of people have their uploads and if you create a basic channel, initially that's all you're gonna see is people's uploads but today I'm gonna talk about mostly getting content from other channels and bring them importing it into your own channel so you can share this with your students. Again, you can create playlists which can be a combination of your own content, videos that you created paired with videos created by other people and you organize them yourself on a given topic. Or you can import saved playlists so I could see entire playlists from another channel. So instead of download every single one of those videos, I can basically simply grab the URL from that playlist and import it into my YouTube channel. Also, you can see on your channel that you can have featured channels so for instance, I want my students to go to VOA news or I want people to go to Jennifer ESL or USCIS and then there's related channels chosen by YouTube that pair with your channel. Before I continue, I wanna talk about a playlist and because I'm gonna be constantly referring to a playlist, a playlist is an ordered list of videos. They allow viewers to watch multiple videos in a predetermined order by the playlist owner. So for instance, if you created the playlist, you can put them in a order of the newest video on top or the oldest video on top or you can create it in a way that you've chosen yourself. If you're importing it from another person, you have to retain the predetermined playlist that they've already made. A playlist can be composed of videos uploaded by you or videos uploaded by another creator and then saved or imported to your channel. We're just, this is an example of how this is my citizenship channel. I just top, right when I took this picture, it was 10,000 subscribers. Today is finally top 30,000 subscribers. I'm super happy about that. But anyway, as you can see, I have a feature video that's basically welcoming people to the channel. I have a creative list of my students that I'm interviewing. I have a feature channels which I want students to check out here. USCIS, VOA news, et cetera. And then on the top, this is where I can customize the channel. Other people cannot see these buttons only, I can see these buttons. So customizing the channel means I'm gonna be modifying what I'm doing on my own channel, what videos and playlists I want people to see. Creator Studio is when I want to go in and edit specific videos that I've uploaded. I wanna talk a little bit more about single playlists. So these are videos chosen by you on a single topic. So the default playlist is uploaded videos. So these are videos that I've taken with my own students and I've simply uploaded them to my channel and people can see them because they're public. Here's an example on the bottom of not one playlist, but multiple playlists put in a vertical, excuse me, a horizontal playlist. So there's one, they're talking about report backs from citizenship interviews. So here's one of my own students. The second one is actually from another person. So it was the third one and the fourth one. So it's a mix and match of different videos from different people talking about their citizenship interviews. But again- Jennifer, we have some questions specific to playlists. Can we answer those now? Yes, please. Okay. How do you delete a previously saved playlist on YouTube? You go into your library and you can delete it from your library and I'll talk a little bit about that. If an uploaded video from another creator is used, will it stay on the playlist if the creator removes it? No. If the creator removes the video from YouTube, then that video will no longer appear anywhere on YouTube. What if you don't want these to be public and I think you address that later? I'm gonna talk about, well, I'll talk a little bit about that. And hopefully I can give you a demonstration of that, but there's three levels when you upload a video. There's one that's called private, only you can see that video. And a lot of times you wanna set that to private because maybe you're trying to fix the closed captions. The second one is unlisted. So only the people that you share the link with can see that video. So for instance, I have a whole set of citizenship interviews that my students don't want to be out in public, but they want to share it with each other specifically so they can watch that comment on them. And then after the person has passed their citizenship interview, I can delete that or I can release that into the public. It's totally up to the student on that one. And the final one is public. So when it's uploaded, it's immediately shared with the YouTube public at large. Does that help? Yes. That should be good. Yeah, okay. If something was originally public, you can set that to unlisted or you can set that to private. So you can change the settings. Okay. All right. Now I'm gonna talk about a playlist. So these are created, these are multiple playlists. So this one has, if you can see here, there's 19 videos in that playlist. There's six of videos in that playlist and there's 34 videos in that playlist. All these videos have been created by me. And then this one I've imported from USCIS, which is a civics question playlist. So basically I've only had to copy the URL of the playlist and import it directly. So there's no downloading. Nothing has been, no content has been stolen. It's simply creating a visual alias to that site. Here's another playlist from multiple sources. And again, you can put them in a horizontal playlist. Okay. So I wanted to go on to creating a YouTube channel. Is there any other questions before I continue? So this, so is the strategy to create one playlist per subject class or one by instructor, trying to figure out best strategy of teaching multiple subjects? Can I, I think I'm gonna have a better illustration of that when I go to another channel. But for what, if you want to as a teacher, when I teach citizenship, I put everything on the channel and then I organize things by topic on that channel. ESL instructor, multiple teachers use my channel to access ESL content. So when I do that, I create a playlist for ESL one. I create a ESL playlist for a conversation. I create a playlist for writing. I create a playlist for EL civics. So that's a better organized ways to access that information. So you can do it by class. You can create a channel by class or you can create a channel for your school and then people can go in and or a person create, can create playlist specific to that classroom. Does that help? Two more questions. Sure. Some of us are new to creating videos. Will you be discussing that? I'm not really gonna be talking about creating videos. I can do that at the end. For instance, the example I wanted to show you was a video that I took from a Zoom session that I did for a citizenship interview. And the most important thing is that when the point I wanted to make with that video is that if I simply let the automatic English closed captions take over, what the person, the closed captions are able to access what I'm saying fairly, fairly easily. But if you have people speaking in different accents, YouTube is not very good at picking up what they're actually saying. So you have to be able to go in and edit those closed captions. And I wanted to talk a little bit about that. Okay, last question for the set. Is there a limit to how many videos we can upload? I haven't hit it. I have over 500 videos, so. And there you go, folks. It's almost unlimited. Yeah, more than 500 videos. So, yeah. And I have imported videos from USCIS and other people as well. One of my favorite playlists, in fact, is a playlist of people at different oath ceremonies. And so I try to show a video from that every Sunday. Okay, so we're gonna talk more about the construction of the YouTube channel. Is that okay to go ahead? You bet. Okay, great. So I really, if you guys take one picture, take a picture of this one. This is bit.ly playlist dash help. And this is basically how to save and share videos or playlists, okay? So a lot of things that I'm gonna be talking about, I'm not gonna be able to explain that well just because my own personal limitations. But YouTube has a very robust help section that will enable you to help, you to save them, to share your videos, to construct your channels. So please take a look at this. So again, it's bit.ly slash playlist dash help. Okay? I'm gonna let everybody just do one more second. We got it in the chat, Jennifer. You're good to go. Is there any question? Was there a question there, please? No? Nope. Okay. Most, no, first of all, you can create a YouTube channel with other accounts. However, it's better to create a YouTube channel with your Gmail account and more, or a Gmail hosted account. And it's more, and so you can do that, okay? So the easiest way, I'm gonna show you the easiest way I know to create a Gmail, to create a YouTube channel. So first you log in to Google with your Gmail account. And because you're practicing and just starting out, you may wanna use an account that's not linked with your school district. You need to practice first. Play around a little bit and then maybe go back in with your school account. So here I am, I'm creating one with Long Macy Waved. You basically have to name yourself so you have a first name, a last name. And I believe they're asking for further identification nowadays. And it's gonna say it's gonna create a channel for you. So here it is bare bones. It has my name. It has home, it has uploads though. We don't have any uploads. And so here I am gonna customize my channel. I'm not gonna go to Creator Studio because I don't have any channels yet to edit. I want to basically modify or create my channel, or customize my channel. So this is where I'm gonna start adding videos and I'm gonna start adding playlists. I see, is there any questions right now? What about Google.net accounts for channel creation? I'm gonna answer that. Google.net is not a Gmail. Google.com is. So if you mistyped it, the answer is yes. But if you really meant Google.net, that doesn't work. Why is it best to use a Gmail? Because it's in the same playground. Because it's, go ahead, Jennifer. Okay, so why you wanna create in Google? Because if you want to derive any income from your channel, for instance, if you want ad revenue, it's gonna hook, it's much more easy to hook up with AdSense so you can get paid from YouTube. So if that's something you wanna consider. However, I'm not gonna really address that many issues around revenue, okay? Is that it? That's good. Okay, good. Okay, so here I'm basically saying I wanna set my intention. So here I'm gonna basically say something about about. And so that's where I'm gonna describe what my channel is about. And here my channel description is basically talking about how I want to teach people about how to use YouTube. Or for instance, if this was my citizenship account, would say I wanna help prepare people for their citizenship interview. Or my ESL account would say I wanna help my ESL students learn English conversation more effectively. So it's really important to set that intention because otherwise your YouTube channel could be a dump for all sorts of things and it could lose focus. YouTube channel that loses focus is not gonna be very useful to people. So please set your attention first. Later, you can add channel R and you can use something from the gallery, use something from the computer. If I demo this, we could be here all day because I really like pretty things I mean very easily distracted. So please just use this as a place for the folder to get something from your own computer. And I got some poppies, I love California and now I'm ready to go on to the channel settings. So anytime you see this wheel, this means settings, you can change this. And changes that you're gonna be basically changing your channel, you're turning that wheel, you're creating change. Here, one of the most important things that you can, you wanna keep all your live videos private. So for instance, when my dad was alive, he really had problems with me watching Stephen Colbert because he really didn't like him because my dad was really conservative. But so when I, and I knew that sometimes he would access my computer when I wasn't at home. So I kept all my videos private and also you don't want necessarily your students to know what videos that you like. You wanna keep that kind of stuff private. You may wanna keep your subscriptions private. Now, if you've already decided that this is gonna be, remember this is practice. So you may wanna keep your subscriptions private. When you have basically mastered your YouTube channel, you may wanna take this off because you want your students to be able to access all sorts of ESL channels that you've subscribed to. And this one, keep all my saved playlists private. You wanna make sure that that's unchecked. Why? Because you're gonna be sharing those saved playlists. That's gonna be super, super important for you. You also wanna go down to advanced settings and basically make sure your privacy settings are in intact and make sure again that the saved playlists are private, that you've unchecked that. Here, this is getting a little bit more into the weeds and we're just, I'm just gonna mention this and let it go. You wanna make sure that you are not violating any copyright status. So this is basically you would be downloading videos from other channels and then uploading them to your channel as if it was your own content. If people find out that you're downloading other people's videos and then uploading them as if they were yours, you will get dinged on your copyright and if you get several violations, they can shut down your channel. They also will take a look at your community guidelines for instance, are you, does your content, is it clean? Is it accessible for children? And YouTube has been making a lot more effort to make sure that content or making a distinction between what children can see and what children cannot see. And then also there's more information about monetization and live streaming and embedding live streams. So this is the stuff that you could take a look at when you go into maybe the YouTube creator channel. The YouTube creator channel basically tells you all about creating the channels on YouTube, gives you a lot more help, talks about monetization, talks about creating custom thumbnails and things like that. So please take a look at this on your own time. Upload, low default. So if you're gonna be uploading videos, you wanna do, what do you want your privacy setting to be automatically? You can change, you can make them private so only you can see them. You can make them unlisted so the people only, the people you share the links with directly can see them or you can make them public. That's totally up to you. You always wanna choose the category. So for instance, when I initially started doing citizenship, everything was being uploaded to comedy, which I have no idea why that was happening. And with licensing, you can create standard YouTube licensing or Creative Commons. You wanna do standard YouTube licensing because if somebody uses your content, so for instance, they take one of your videos downloaded to their computer and then upload it again as if it was their own content. If you have a standard YouTube license, you have recourse to YouTube to tell them to take it down. So YouTube would contact those people who violated your copyright. You're not the person who is contacting them to say that, hey, you violated my copyright. With Creative Commons, I'm not so sure there's certain aspects of Creative Commons that you can choose that people can reuse them and things like that. So I basically have stuck with standard YouTube licensing. On check for advertisements, you gotta make your own decisions about advertising, but this one's really important. Channel keywords, education, ESL, ELL, literacy, adult, EDU, ed tech. Adult basic education, what is that? Votech, Vessel. All those channel keywords are gonna make it easier for your students to find you and for other programs to find you as well. You learn a lot from taking a look at other schools, other schools YouTube channels. Okay, and make sure you add your own website as well. So finally, after all that's setting up, we're gonna start adding some videos, okay? So one of the things you have to do is, with uploads, this is your own content, but when you get down to playlists, this is organized content for your channel and from other channels. So let's talk about created playlists versus saved playlists. Created playlists have been chosen videos organized by topic. So the first one on the top up here when I originally was doing the ESL playlist. I have created playlists a couple from VOA Learning English. I have a couple videos from ESL Jobs and then I have six videos from that I've called ESL Basics and the ESL Basic ones contain videos from all sorts of different content areas. On the saved playlist on the bottom, I've basically imported or saved playlists that have already been created from several different groups. So for instance, I have one about grammar from Mark Kulik. I have another one about food and drinks from Mark Kulik. I want about ESL Homes from Mark and then I have a really great playlist from Jennifer Lessons for Beginners. Is there a question? Is it okay to go on? I'm not sure you covered live stream. Can you have a live stream? Yeah, I'm not that familiar with live stream. I've only done a couple. I'm gonna show you an example of one YouTube channel where the teachers are basically live streaming on, I'm not sure if they're front-ending Facebook. Well, I think they're basically live streaming on Facebook. Then they're downloading the video and then uploading it to YouTube. So if the person can hold on and I would share that with them later on. Okay. Okay, the other thing is that because I have done live streaming so infrequently, it would be really better for them to take a look at the YouTube help on that one. Okay. Okay. There was a question about the Unlisted video. Somebody did that and they sent the link to their students and their students still couldn't watch it. Unlisted? Unlisted. Did the student absolutely click that video? I mean, click that link? A lot of variables, aren't there? Yeah. Okay, so it has to be that they have to, they're, I think that what might have happened is the student might be on your YouTube channel. They say, teacher, I can't see the video. The student is gonna have to click the link that you sent them. They're not gonna see that automatically if they just go to your YouTube channel. So the easiest way for me that I share are the two different ways. A lot of times I'm on the video. I'm gonna share the link with the person. I can send it to them through the email or I can text to them. And I'm gonna show you about how to share the URL on a couple slides from now, okay? Is that all right? I think we're good. Okay. Okay, so you're looking for this really great add to icon. So of course everybody knows the plus but people probably are not familiar with the, it's not a hamburger. It's basically trying to show you a playlist. So it's video one, video two, video three and you're adding a plus. This is basically saying you're adding the playlist. You're not just adding one video, you're adding an entire playlist. So what you wanna do is you wanna start with the video you want in the playlist. Under video you want to click add to icon. You want, there's gonna be several choices for you to come up, that will come up. First one is to be watch later. So you may wanna view this video for yourself later. Faves, that is an old playlist from YouTube. I don't think that's an option anymore. I should really remove it. Playlists that you've already created. For instance, I've already created the ESL basics playlist so I could add that video to that playlist. Or the last one would be create a new playlist and you click that and you can type in the name of the playlist. If you create a new playlist, you have to enter the playlist name. And of course you can change that playlist name later on. You can use the dropdown box to select your playlist privacy setting. If it's private, only you can view the playlist. And let's see, unlisted playlist. Hopefully we'll have enough time that I can demonstrate that. Let me make a note to myself. Okay, and let me see and then you click create. So here I am. When you create a playlist, this question has come up a couple of times, I'm sorry. When you create a playlist, the videos added to that playlist, if they aren't yours, but you added them to your playlist, do they become your videos? It's as if you're creating an alias, a visual alias from that website. So I'm gonna be showing that right now, okay? So here's one from Learning Chocolate. And I'm gonna be adding it to my playlist ESL basics. The video stays on the Learning Chocolate. YouTube channel. But it's going to, an alias of it is gonna appear on my channel. When my students click on that video, I'm not getting the financial credit for it. I'm not getting the views. Learning Chocolate is getting in the views. So I'm not violating copyright at all. I'm simply creating something like a visual alias to that YouTube video. Is that okay? Is that appropriate? I think it's a perfect description, but I'm a techie. So what's an alias? An alias is basically saying, if I give you the URL, these names and numbers and addresses are not gonna mean anything to you. But if I give you a picture and say, click here, so you can watch something about numbers, you're like, okay, that's what I wanna do. I'm not interested in those numbers and addresses and everything like that. I just wanna learn more English, okay? So here you're basically creating a picture and a link behind that picture that's gonna take you to the right video to watch. Is that a little bit better? I think that got it, yes. Okay, can you think of a better way to explain that? Yeah. People are worried about copyright. So if you're creating a book list and one of the books that you list is A Christmas Carol, my favorite book, I did not write that. I have it in my playlist, but Charles Dickens gets the credit for it. And if he was still alive, he'd be getting the money for it if it was a YouTube video. So you can add your own videos to your playlist and then you would put your title, Jennifer's Awesome Video About Citizenship, let's say that was the title, and she created it and she adds it to the same playlist, then she's getting credit for it. Okay, so here's one because I really, I know some people have problems with learning chocolate. I really like it and they do have some videos. So here is a video that I wanna add to my ESL basics playlist. So I'm basically right-clicking it and I'm gonna add it. And now it's gonna, sorry, I think I got rid of that screen. Now it's gonna be the, it's gonna show up or it's gonna appear on my channel, okay? So I don't have to tell my students go to learning chocolate. Learning chocolate is gonna appear on my channel's homepage that they simply can click that and go there immediately directly. I'm gonna go on and I'm gonna say, well, that was a video, but I wanna get the whole playlist, okay? So here's one from Jennifer ESL that I really love and it's her new, she had a series one to 65 or 65 videos about basic English. So it's no scripts, nothing, they're simply, people are simply talking. She's done another series and I like this series even better. If I simply click the little, like almost hamburger with a plus sign, it would go into my library. But the thing is that the library is gonna appear on my playlist page on my channel. I wanted to appear on the front page. So I don't want my students to go digging through all these different pages to find something. I want them to appear on the front page so they can immediately access it and they can say to me, teacher, I can't find it because you know they'll say that. So instead of clicking this, this ad mode, I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna share this playlist. Why do I wanna share this playlist? I want this playlist to appear on my channel's homepage or the front page. Jennifer, we lose you when you turn away from the computer. Okay, I'm sorry about that. Do you want me to repeat that? I would be happy to. Yes. Okay, so one other thing, so here is, let me see. Let me start from the far left to go to the right, okay? So on the far left, we have the home icon which would bring us to the YouTube homepage. We would have trending which would show the most popular videos. We have subscriptions that we would show all the subscriptions that I have subscribed to via my YouTube channel and we have library. And library is gonna show all the videos that I have saved and all the playlists that I have saved. However, even if I go and say that stuff and it's in my library, it's not gonna be publicly on the front page of my channel. And it's gonna appear several tabs in on my channel. I don't want my students to go hunting for the videos that I want them to watch. I want that stuff to appear on the homepage or the front page of my channel. So instead of simply saving this, the saving the video or saving the channel, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, I'm gonna share this entire playlist. So I don't have to download anything. I simply I'm gonna grab that URL because I want the playlist to appear on the channel homepage. So all these, I think there's maybe about 30 more videos from Jennifer ESL. They're gonna appear in a playlist on my homepage. How do I do that? I am going to basically, so excuse me, I basically click the share button and now this is gonna appear. It's gonna say, do I want to embed the playlist? No, I don't wanna do that. Do I wanna share it to Facebook? I do not wanna do that. Twitter or blogger or Tumblr, no, I don't wanna do this. What I wanna do is copy the link. So copy the link is basically saying that this is the page where all these videos from Jennifer ESL live. I copy it and now what I'm doing is I'm going back to my channel and I'm gonna click customize the channel. So when I click customize the channel, what I'm gonna do is scroll to the bottom, sorry, let me go back. I'm gonna scroll to the bottom of my page. So here's my welcome page. I have some more videos here. I'm gonna basically scroll to the bottom of that page and there's gonna appear add a section. I want to add a new playlist. And what kind of playlist do I wanna add? I wanna select the content and define what the type of playlist is it gonna be. It's gonna be a single playlist and I'm gonna select content. I want it to appear in a horizontal roll. If it's a vertical roll, it might scroll to the bottom of the page. I want it to appear in a horizontal roll. Next number three, I'm gonna enter the playlist URL. So this is where I can put in that URL that I just copied from Jennifer ESL and I'm going to click add and then done. It's everybody okay so far on that. Looks like it. We're gonna add the section. I'm gonna talk about the content. I'm gonna add the URL. I'm gonna click done. And now Jennifer ESL playlist now appears on the front page of my channel home page. However, it's at the very, very bottom of the page and my students will get lost if you're on that page. So what I'm gonna do is up here, you see the little pencil mark that means edit and you have the little arrow. I can move this from the bottom of this page to almost the top. So the first video they're gonna see, this is welcome to my web page. You're gonna see the first 65 videos from Jennifer ESL, but then you get to see the second series. So the students after they go through these videos, they're gonna be pretty good with conversation. So here again, I've moved this Jennifer ESL the playlist from the very, very bottom of my channel home page. And now it's at the appropriate place so my students can now find it. Jennifer, could you go over the horizontal row again? Thank you. Let me go back. So here, you might be able to see it and it plays a little bit better. You know what? I'm not gonna, if I go too far back, it's not gonna do it. So here, there's the content that's the single playlist or I can say it's multiple playlists or basically saying that I want it to appear by itself. I don't want to appear with learning chocolate stuff. I don't want it to appear with, oh, excuse me. Here's a good example up here of multiple playlists. I don't want it to appear in this series. I want it to appear by itself. Does that make sense? We got it. So this is a playlist. And could you go over the pencil one more time, moving it up? Okay, so this is the single playlist. It's horizontal, it's not vertical. Now up here, we have the edit and when I talk about this, the arrow is the thing that's gonna move it. It's gonna move it step by step up the page. If I wanna edit this, this means I could basically add some information or I could even change this playlist. I don't wanna do this. I want it to move up and up by the arrow. Okay, is that a little bit better? I think so and remember to face the computer. Okay, thank you. So, yes. So again, I want to, so I made a mistake. I should not be highlighting both of these icons. These are two separate icons. This one, the arrow is the thing that is gonna reposition it on the channel homepage. The pencil is gonna be that I can change it maybe from vertical to horizontal or maybe I could even change it to another playlist, okay? So what is the alternative setting command for single playlist? Meaning if we do want it to be in a combined row with other playlists, what do we select? Multiple playlists. Thank you. Okay. Here is an example of if I'm getting ready to embed a playlist. So this means you're not putting it on your YouTube channel. You might be bringing it into your, to Canvas, you might be bringing it into Google. You might be bringing it into Blogger. So what you're doing instead, you're clicking share again and you're copying and pasting the embed code. So this is the embed code here. One of the things with videos, individual videos you can start at a particular time. So if you want students to focus on a particular part of the video, you can basically start it at a time. And so here it is on the YouTube, on Jennifer ESL's YouTube channel. I've gotten the embed code and now I put it into my Blogger and now it appears as a blog post. So people, so I wanna talk a little bit about Canvas and Google Classroom and forms. A lot of times you don't need the embed code. You simply need the URL of the video itself. And Google Classroom and Google Forms automatically knows how to basically create that embed code. And I think Canvas does as well. With Blogger or with some other products that I've used, you actually have to grab that embed code. So this is, you've basically done the video here. And here you've basically can do, instead of just one video, you can do the entire playlist. And how do you know you've embedded the entire playlist? You basically see that little, the hamburger with the arrow that basically shows that you've embedded the playlist. So I'm ready to go on to talk about other channel resources. Is there anything that I can talk about right now or any questions? I don't think so. Everyone's watching with bated breath. How's that? So when you get your students, you tell them go to YouTube and watch more videos. They're like, whoa, I really like Wally. I really like that video. I think I want to watch the Wally video. It's like, no, don't watch the Wally video. It's like, but I really like comedy. So do I want to watch Channel Wally? No, don't watch the channel. Do I want to watch, then to watch baseball? I always want people to watch baseball. I think baseball is a great sport, but please do not watch baseball. I want you to watch the Mark Kulik making video, okay? That's what I want you to do. That's your target. So instead of getting my students to wander all over the place on YouTube, basically I've created the channel to basically have them focus in on the content they need to be looking at. So I want to talk about some of the resources and I have about 10 resources to share. I'm going to be talking about the different types. The first one is procreated content and we have a really good one from StoryCorps. StoryCorps has gone over and all over the country and done interviews with people and then they've taken these interviews, interviews, archived them and then they've taken some of these interviews and then created visual stories that go along with them. So I can't recommend this enough. I use these videos with my upper level students basically to inspire them to talk to their own, to talk to their own elders and what kind of questions they need to ask to elicit some really interesting answers. So again, created content and then StoryCorps also has great supplemental material about on their website about how to interview people. So again, please take a look at StoryCorps. Now student-created content, we have Support Adult Ed and this is a series of videos created by the students at Pima Community College down in Arizona and the students have basically interviewed themselves, told their own stories and basically created, used their own pictures and very rudimentary editing techniques to create their own stories. So this is really, really inspirational for students, again, to watch these very short videos and how they have, how they are able to present their own stories. And a lot of them are talking about moving, transitioning from Adult Ed into Community College or into better jobs and also to citizenship. So this is a really, really good series. I can't recommend it enough and also the teachers have created a series of lesson plans to how they created that. Was there a question? They're asking for the links to all the resources and I'm assuming it's your handout. So folks, we're gonna do that at the end of the presentation. It will all be on the OTAN website. If you take a look at, if you go to Support Adult Ed, I'm gonna just say this real quickly. If you go to the Support Adult Ed channel and you go to the digital stories link, I think the information is there. Okay, if you wanna simply shortcut this, this is a really valuable one. And then also, excuse me, I think Coab did a special feature with these people, with the school last year for the Coab National Conference. Adult Basic Skills Learner for my money, GClearnfree.org is really great for adult basic skills. Of course, they have their supplementary or they have their website, which is adding more languages. So they're adding more Spanish content, more Portuguese content, more Arabic content, but they have some really great playlists specifically about career, work skills, soft skills, searching for a job, all sorts of things. So again, adult basic skills learner, they really need to check out GClearnfree.org. And also on their website, they have self-paced courses that they can study these topics online. For workforce skills, I wanna recommend two really great sites. The first one is Career One Stop. And Career One Stop has hundreds of videos related that they use on their own website. They've been organized into playlists. So students are like, well, I'm really interested in health services, but I don't know which one would be the right video for me. These videos are about a minute long and they basically talk about the education, the background, the expectation. And in some instances, the pay skill of each one of these different career choices. So this is really gonna be appropriate for EL Civics or for adult basic skills when they're trying to look at workforce skills. Also Khan Academy did a whole separate channel about career and personal finance. And so those have been really, really good. So taking a look at those videos and seeing what the expectations are about careers and personal finance are gonna be really super important. Especially right now, some people are really contemplating what's gonna happen with the economy and what kind of careers are gonna be emerging at post COVID-19. Dual learning. So for my money, American English. So this is the parent company or the parent organization of VOA and VOA learning English. Not only do they have videos for students, they have videos also for teachers. So for instance, here's a video for a student. What types of new technology do you like to use? So that's gonna elicit some discussion from the students. There's gonna be a video about American English resources. So this is not only for the student but also for the teacher as well. So sometimes they need to bring more technology into their class. There is gonna be information about how to use Jaren's and infinitives. And I know that that was something that we would teach in ESL three and sometimes it's even introduced in ESL two about what's the difference between a Jaren and an infinitive. And then they have live streams where they're basically teaching teachers how to teach vocabulary. They also did a very interesting series on journalism. And this really pairs up really well with VOA learning English that they did a series on news literacy. So talking about students developing a student newspaper or contributing to their local papers or even creating online or contributing to online news sources is gonna be really, really important to get authentic information and to develop students' voices and leadership. For my lower level learners, I really like Mark Kulak. And initially I thought this is really a dumb channel because it's slow, it's repetitive, there's music, it's cartoons and exactly the reasons why I didn't like the videos were exactly the reasons why my students liked the videos because they were the only videos that my students would actually whisper along or talk along with. So they would go slow enough that my students could actually repeat after Mark. He is not only doing these short videos but he's also doing live streams and also videos about how to teach this kind of content. So there's a lots of variety on his website about for low level students and for teachers how to teach vocabulary and also for some intermediate students maybe to basically watch his live streams and so they can level up on their own speaking abilities as well. So simple graphics, repetitive repetition, the patterns but it's very, very successful and I've really seen improvements with my students learning with Mark Kulak. For intermediate English language learners I really like 7 ESL and they had a, I'm sorry, I'm gonna forget the, I think it's idioms.com or something to that effect but they have basically charts where these are again very slow moving but the students can follow along and basically learn English vocabulary or learn grammar points. They have, or they work on pronunciation or they do things about business acronyms. 7 ESL is a really great YouTube website. YouTube channel. Two from, oh hi, two from VOA. So there's VOA news and VOA learning English. So VOA news has currently has a really good series or several good playlists on COVID-19. So those have been really good for my lower level students that there's not a lot of words to distract them but they're able to generate a lot of content from simply describing what they're seeing on the video. So that's been very effective for my own low level students. VOA learning English is all, sorry, VOA learning English has grammar TV, they have playlists related to the American presidents. So really great for your lower level language learners. For your upper level learners, take a look at VOA news which is up to the minute information from all over the world about what's happening especially nowadays with COVID-19 and some of the administration's pronouncements about that. For high school subjects, we have Crash Course and Khan Academy. So Crash Course is super fast but you can basically slow those videos down and watch them in a slower speed. So they've been divided up into high school subjects and they're instantly accessible and the students can learn along with both Crash Course and Khan Academy. And oh, I'm sorry. Khan Academy also has another channel in Spanish as well and I was interested to see or get a reaction from people who have possibly learned the Spanish, learned with the Spanish channel from the Khan Academy. Has anybody done that? No? Nobody's answering, so I think no. Nobody's answering, okay. Other than, otherwise I put them to sleep. The resource that I'm gonna share is that we have these deep dyes with lesson plans from Ted and. So you got some really great graphics, especially they have some recent ones about more science based about pandemics and disease. But these have been really high interest to share with our adult basic skills and our high school subject classes. However, those are interesting but it's like they're not accessible to some of our students because the language is too high. So what are you gonna do? So now I'm gonna move on to talking about how to use the YouTube videos. Is there any questions before I continue? Nothing that's open, Jennifer, we're good. Okay, so one of the ones that I wanted to share, BPSOS is basically doing live streams of classes. And so you have the instructor reviewing citizenship information and then they're live streaming that to Facebook and they're basically posting those videos to their YouTube channel. So this channel is maybe about two or three weeks old. They have a combination of citizenship and ESL classes. The teachers are using a combination of books and slides and all sorts of things. So take a look and see, this is a way for their students to basically access this information outside the classroom. But I want people to see this and perhaps learn from these videos about how to conduct their own classes online. I wanna talk about five different ways to use this. One of my very, very favorite resources is WeSpeakNYC. These are a series, they did a series in 2008 and I, or 2009 and again in 2019, different videos are tele-novelas and they had all sorts of supplemental PDFs in multiple languages and then activities, PDFs that you can download and share with your students. They are not directly posting to, or they don't seem to be directly posting to YouTube. However, Literacy Partners is posting their videos to their website or to their YouTube channel and they also have some very interesting videos over here. So for instance, the discovery of the joy of reading. So sometimes as a literacy teacher, man, I know how to teach reading, I've done it all. Some of these videos are really inspirational and basically remind you, oh yeah, I haven't used that technique a long time. I really need to get with that technique. So going and taking a look about how people teach literacy, how people use these videos as activities is really, really important. So again, these videos from WeSpeakNYC, WeSpeakNYC, they're not explicitly teaching English and they're not explicitly teaching civics. However, they're addressing concerns about domestic violence or balancing work and school or workman's comp or health issues. So please, please, please take a look at these videos and take a look at their episodes and their supporting PDFs. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't, I forgot to make the point. The point I wanted to do is basically in this situation, you have the student watch the video and you've shared with them the PDF that goes along with the video and that's a way to teach. Now, a lot of our students are not gonna have access to the printers. So that might be a little bit difficult, but you can still email people the PDFs for them to basically do a reflect on. Another really interesting YouTube website is uglish.com and this is basically accessing, it's a tool that basically access the YouTube. And so from here, you're saying, well, I wanna search on a term how to pronounce binge watch. So they'll come up with maybe about 89 different videos about how to pronounce binge watch, but it's not so much about pronouncing, it's more like taking a look at the pragmatics or the semantics or the syntax or idioms or collocations or pronunciation, how people use living English. So for instance, you're not just simply look at the pronunciation, you're looking at all different ways that binge watch is being used. So you could type in the word citizenship or you can type in any term that you want and it will, uglish will go in, access YouTube videos, pull out those videos and they'll start showing you the video maybe about one to three seconds before the actual term is used. So students can basically see English being used in real life. Now you can choose to say, hey, I see people from the United States or the UK or Australia, but I think sometimes it's really interesting to see all sorts of different usages and accents. So here's where you can make the choices up here about where do you wanna pull the videos. Would you, is there a question? No. And do we have the time? You have about 10 minutes. Okay, all right, great. One of the most important things again, some of the resources that I shared, they're pretty sophisticated. One of the things they're like, God, there's no PDF with this. How can I make a really good presentation from it? You can create transcripts. So let me talk about the easy way to create transcripts. So here's another video from Jennifer ESL. It's about how to write a job inquiry email. I'm like, oh, this is such a good video. Plus her husband is basically works for a job recruiter. So she's getting some really good tips and showing some really good email usage. What you, oh, sorry, excuse me, let me go back. What you do, you go for the dot, dot, dot on the bottom, and that's gonna be basically opening up more information that you can use. So you don't wanna report the video because there's no bad content in there. What you wanna do is open the transcript. It's gonna open the transcript automatically. And if you basically click the dot, dot, dot over here, you can basically toggle these timestamps. And what is a timestamp? This is when, when, or where the text appears. Now you can also see if she has different type of closed captions. The default is English auto-generated closed captions, which is no problem because Jennifer ESL speaks really clearly. However, with some of my videos, I have English auto-generated and I have basically standard English. So you can basically click them back and forth. What you can do, if you take off, if you basically toggle away the timestamps, you can basically simply copy and paste this transcript. You can dump it into a Word file or Google any text file that you want. And you can basically recreate and basically take sections in or manipulate the text whatever the way you want. You could create closed listening exercises. You can create a grammar lesson or a writing lesson where basically the student has to correct and put in where the punctuation would be. You can do all sorts of stuff with creating by creating a transcript, simply from the content that's already there. So let me repeat this again. Go to the dot dot dot at the bottom, open the transcript, basically use the vertical dots to open the timestamps and basically get rid of the timestamps, make sure you have the correct language and you can copy and paste that into another file and then manipulate it into creating a closed exercise. How I usually use videos is I simply basically embed them into my own blog post and basically I create quizzes on it. So for instance, this is African immigrant. She's talking about school and joining the Air Force and I have some citizenship questions in here. And also there was some further information. However, you can also, a better way to do this is basically to have, to use add puzzle which will basically show the video and then basically stop the video and up will pop up a question. So for instance, here's a minute video about George Washington and while the video is playing, it's gonna pop up who was the first president and the student can basically answer the question and then continue along. However, as you can see, this is a minute video and I think I have 10 questions and that it's really stupid. Don't do that. Make sure, try to space out the questions a little bit better than I can. And again, you can embed this into your Canvas classroom or your Google classroom because or whatever blog posts that you have because add puzzle is basically an add on to the Google suite. And add puzzle has a really good professional development. So there's different ways that you can, they have different ways to show you how to use add puzzle, especially in the flip setting which is really amazing. So these are miniature courses that you can learn more about how to use add puzzle. Some people love add puzzle. Other people's like prefer a Pear Deck and Near Pod and because they can incorporate videos and your slide decks and all sorts of things and they can deliver the content to your students and whatever your preferred setting is. But for my money, I think Google Forms really does it. With Google Forms, you can basically embed videos and after the students watch the videos, you can basically, they can take different quizzes and the teacher will get the information about how successful the student was in the quiz. I really, because we were very focused in on the census, I used a lot of these short census videos to answer questions and they were really, really successful on that. I wanna share two more slides. One was teach thought because a lot of times we just don't want the students to be passive, we want them to basically engage in critical thinking. So these are two really good articles about how to best teaching practices with videos and how to read a video like you're reading a book. So how do you annotate it? How do you pull information out of that video? So please take a look at these bit.ly for BPS dash video. So the BPS is best practices strategies. So again, it's bit.ly slash full. For BPS dash videos. And this one is bit.ly slash YT for YouTube dash COMP for computer, or sorry for comprehension slash strategy. Was there a question about that? No, okay. No question, but just a note to all of our attendees that when we post links now Zoom does not allow them to be live links. So when we post them in the chat, you have to copy and then paste them somewhere or you could paste them in a browser and then open them. Okay. Finally, that's it from OTAN. Does anybody have any burning questions that I can share? Because there was so much more that I really wanted to share. Jennifer, we were answering questions as we went along. I think we got them all. If I'm wrong, please, everybody type questions in the Q&A. We're getting some thank yous. Can we make open captions default? What? I don't know that. Let me take a look at my, let me go back to share. I'm gonna do a new share and I am going to go to one second. Okay. Screen. Come on. Are you seeing my desktop? Yes. There's your channel. So are you seeing YouTube? Yes. Okay. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go quick, try to go quickly to my own YouTube channel. So I need to switch accounts. And just for your information folks, you won't have to do this to get to Jennifer's channel. I think I'm having some problem. I think we're, I'm experiencing some real... The internet is slow. So if people did a search for a US citizen pod. Yeah. Would that bring up your channel for them? That would bring up the channel for them. But the thing is, is I'm gonna have to get into my creator account. Let's see if I have anything here that I can, let's see. And Jennifer, while you're doing that, videos in different LMSs like Moodle, Canvas, Schoology, do you use embed codes or do you use links? I think it won't, for most part, from what I remember about Canvas, I haven't used Canvas in a long time, but usually they're using the URL. Hi, this is teacher Jennifer. No, no, no, I don't wanna talk to me right now. Okay, so what I'm doing is right now, I'm going to my YouTube studio. And the YouTube studio is where people can automatically, that's where you edit your videos. And so what I wanna do is show you how to quickly that I want to basically... Jennifer, can I interrupt? Please. Can I know what this is gonna take? And I also know that the internet's slowing down and I see everybody asking for a part two. So I'm gonna put you on the spot and I'm gonna ask you, can you do a YouTube video or can you do another presentation on how to create a video, how to post it to YouTube and do some of the voodoo that you were just about to do? Would that be possible? That, absolutely. There you go, folks. You heard it here and I have it being recorded, so we're gonna hold her to that. She's gonna do another one. We'll get it, we have the fuss and discuss dates, so she'll be able to show you how to create a video. Jennifer, do you use ScreenCastify or? No, a lot of times, I could use ScreenCastify. A lot of times I'm actually doing stuff in PowerPoint. I've done things, I've recorded things on my iPhone and I've done it that way. So, I mean, it really simply depends. Do they want ScreenCastify? No, I'm just asking the medium that you play. So we have a presentation that was done on how to create a video using PowerPoint. It was done by Yesenia Delgado Lorenzo and that will be posted on the OTAN page very soon. Jennifer does not use OBS. I just saw this question. I know that for a fact, but I'm gonna turn her on to it because she might like it. And it's looking like most of the other questions left. How do you do this? How do you do this? How do you do this? So we're gonna get that done on her next video. Okay.
