 Welcome, everyone. We are honored that you're here today learning a little bit more about CISA. Today, we are focused on five quick tips, Chromebooks and CISA. We have lots of things to share today, but before we hop in, I'm Angela and I am with you here today. I taught kindergarten for 15 years and now lead the community team here at CISA, helping teachers all over the world get going with CISA. Keep in mind in the bottom right here, there is a link to the slide that you can view. You're going to get them via an email if you registered for this session and follow me on Twitter, find me, let's chat. I'm at Mrs. Gadki. I love to connect with you and see what you are working on in your classroom. Something also brand new that we are starting today is we are offering people that view our webinars a certificate of completion. So we've always created an opportunity for those of you joining live to get a certificate. Maybe you use this to share with your administration. Maybe you can earn, you know, PD hours or credit. So here's what you need to know. If you are live with us right now, you don't have to do anything. You are going to get the certificate emailed to you automatically after this session. If you are watching the recording, what you're going to need to do is listen for a code during this session. It will have six characters in it. So I'm going to break it up and talk about it twice during the session. And then you just fill out a form to get the certificate and get access to that. So you find that form if you're watching via YouTube in the description or if you've got an email because you missed the session, it will be in that email. So again, this starts today. So we can't get certificates or views before this date, but let's just get going with the topic at hand today, Chromebooks. And if you haven't heard already, CISA is better than ever on Chromebooks. We actually had all sorts of new updates that came into CISA at the end of June. So if you haven't yet viewed those, you can actually see them on your Chromebook by going to app.CISA.me. And we've actually really rebuilt a lot of our tools to make sure they are amazing on Chromebooks. And if you wanna read more about the new updates, make sure you go to our website and look at Chromebook features, which you see here on this slide. So definitely check those out. I just actually got done doing a live session walking through all of the new features. So definitely check that out. So this session is focused on five tips. So let's get started with tip number one, student login cards. We want your students to be able to connect really quickly. And if they are using a Chromebook, they are going to need to access that Chromebook by logging in somehow, right? Most cases that involves a username and password or an email address and password more correctly. And I have two amazing teachers that have shared some tips and resources. So first on the left, Heather Miller is a CISA ambassador and tech integrationist. She actually has this amazing screencast that you'll find in the bottom left here, showing you how to make computer sign-in cards really quickly if you're pulling them from maybe some sort of student information system. I had no clue how to do this and her screencast was amazing. So it's gonna save you a lot of time if you are making lots of sign-in cards. On the right, you may already know Christine Pinto. She does amazing work in her kindergarten classroom related to Chromebooks and creativity. Also an avid CSAR as well. And she has a great tip and you can find her resources linked to that image as well. Really helping those little learners with even color coding those sign-in cards. So step one, let's make sure our students can actually sign into the Chromebook quickly and effectively. So those cards are going to help you with that. Tip number two, once they get into the Chromebook we wanna make sure they have quick access to CISA. We wanna make it handy right there for them. So I'm gonna walk you through a couple slides here that are gonna show you how to get CISA on your Chromebook and more specifically your students Chromebooks if it's not there yet. So there are two options for students to access CISA on a Chromebook. They can go to the website app.cisa.me and bookmark it or you can pin CISA to their shelf which is the bottom part of their Chromebook screen. So let's start first with bookmarking CISA on a Chromebook. So pretty simple. You're just gonna go to the website app.cisa.me. Once you do that, oh goodness, I think I skipped a step. Once you do that, if you tap the star in the upper right that is going to add it to your bookmarks. So that is handy and you'll see here that CISA is now bookmarked. So that is option one on your Chromebook. If you haven't done that, do that for quick access. Option two, how to get CISA pinned to your shelf on a Chromebook. Again, the shelf is on the bottom here. I'm gonna show you how to get it to show up right there. First of all, maybe this is something you want your IT department to do for you. So they actually have the ability in some cases to actually send CISA out to all of the student devices and I actually have this bit.ly link here if you wanna know how they would actually do that. Otherwise, I'm gonna show you right now how you would make that happen. So first of all, what you're gonna do in the bottom left is click on that launcher. That is going to let you search for CISA, the learning journal in that search bar. Then you can click the link for the Chrome store and keep in mind you are going to get all these slides. So I'm moving kind of quickly but just know that you're going to get the slides. After you do that, you're gonna click add to Chrome and then add app and then click that launcher circle again. And there it is, there's CISA, right? Now you have the app, okay? But you're gonna right click on that CISA icon and in order to do that, if you're using just a trackpad, tap with two fingers at the same time to get that option. And then you're gonna choose pin to shelf. And there you go, it is pinned on the bottom of the shelf. I know my little Google slides thing is kind of a, there you go, it disappeared. So you'll see it right there. Again, if a new user signs in to the Chromebook, they are going to have to use those same steps to pin it to their own shelf. Or like I said, your IT department can push it all out to all of your students so they don't actually have to do that. But these slides are also a handy tool for you to use if you need to show an entire class how to get it there if you would prefer that method as well. So as I mentioned at the beginning, if you're watching this recording, here's your first three digits of the code to enter to get your certificate, four, two, three. Okay, tip number three that I'm gonna share today about using CISA on Chromebooks. Multiple classes are no problem for students that are using email or Google sign-in. So I wanted to just show you this really quickly. If you tap your profile icon in the upper left. So as a teacher, it's going to look a little bit like the first image here on the left, just like you can tap on your various CISA classes and just get right into them without signing in and out. Students have the same opportunity if they're using email and Google sign-in for CISA. So if they tap their profile icon in the upper left, they're going to see all of their classes that exists for email, Google sign-in. And they can just tap there without having to sign in and out to go into another class. But I wanna show you if they actually click on Join Class, that is going to give them the opportunity to join another class. So for example, if you are an upper elementary teacher or middle school, high school teacher and your students are in multiple different classes for various periods or you're departmentalized, they can actually join those separate classes really easily as a student using email and Google sign-in. So I wanted to just show that really quickly for you. All right. So tip number four, let's talk about taking photos on Chromebook. Smile, these are really easy. So let's talk through these. And Gina is an amazing CISA ambassador. I'm just crediting her here because these are slides that she has shared before with our community. And I wanna walk through them because one of the most common errors that come up for students, if they don't see their camera appear or whatnot is sometimes they are not allowing access. So I'm gonna show you right now how to make sure they allow access for the camera and mic on their Chromebook. And if you prefer to watch a video about this, you can see right here, this bitly is going to take you there as well. So this is gonna happen, right? It's going to ask them if they want to allow the camera. So they must click allow, even if they ask it multiple times. So make sure they click allow, right? And then this is funny, what if they ever click block or if they x out of that box, thinking, oh, I don't know what to do, right? So Gina was so amazing in sharing with us the tips for how to correct that problem. So you can see here the camera is blocked, right? So in the upper right, it has that red X on it, showing that it's blocked and that here, there's no image showing in the camera window, okay? So that's how you know you're blocked and it's not going to work to take any photos, right? And Cisa. So we wanna make sure we click on that camera in the upper right and choose allow, allow from Cisa to access your camera on your Chromebook. And then ta-da, as Gina showed you, you're back in business, right? So students will be able to use that to take photos in Cisa. Okay, so let's give some more tips once we make sure that their camera access is enabled, right? So tips from Gina. First of all, use a clipboard. So students can use a clipboard to maybe make a piece of paper more sturdy when they're taking a photo. It's often handy to work in pairs if you're trying to capture photos via a Chromebook and also if you haven't ever done this before or maybe not aware, students can actually just tap the space bar when they are in Cisa and that will snap a photo as well. The other tip is, as she shared, make sure you talk about and share with students how to take a photo, right? So I love this little image that she has making sure students know how to adjust the angle of their Chromebook lid, right? So cute, cute little graphic there to help students realize that as well. Again, practice taking those photos. The other thing I wanna make sure you know about, oh, here's some images. I love to see students in action, right? So you can see here on the left, the student is using the clipboard to keep the paper more secure. On the right, even folding the paper to the exact size they wanna capture can work as well. The other thing to know, and maybe you wanna get to know your device a little bit, there are several types of Chromebooks that actually have two cameras. So there is a front-facing camera as well. And Cisa is ready for you if you have a front-facing camera. So this image right here will show you in the top right, you can see, you can click that to actually change between a rear-facing or front-facing camera in Cisa. So if you wanna learn more about how that works, if you have two cameras on your Chromebook, you can click the link here in the slides when you get them and read a little bit more about that on our help center. Oh, whoa, whoa, this is a big whoa, right? So Trisha Lewis is an amazing Cisa ambassador. And if you don't know Trisha or are not yet connected to Trisha, she is often filled with amazing tips, tricks, ideas. So make sure to check her out. But she figured out, I think it was last year, this nifty little trick of actually taping a compact mirror onto a Chromebook. Get ready for this, which basically looks like this. If you attach a compact mirror to the top of the Chromebook with tape, and maybe you place the whiteboard on top of the keys. Again, in many Chromebooks, a lot of the keys are, you know, it shouldn't interfere with that. But then you have this nice work surface for your student to maybe demonstrate something. And when you record the video in Cisa, that mirror is basically pointing them in the direction of the, you know, the white surface that you've created. So she gives the example here of a student that is manipulating and moving around some pattern blocks to capture that video. So I'm actually just gonna show that quickly. There are a lot of shapes here, and you can see them. I have a square and triangles and a parallelogram. If I put my shapes together, I can actually do lots of different things as well. So I can make another square out of two triangles, or I can even make it a diamond. So again, if you don't know Tricia, make sure you get connected with her. This is just kind of a fun tip to try out. Pretty amazing, love it. All right, well, we are really excited to share with you our brand new Chrome extension. So your students are able to bring the power of reflection into Cisa with just two clicks. So our Chrome extension is something that you would use in addition to app.cisa.me. So this is kind of like a dynamic duo really. And we are gonna show you what that looks like. Let's take a peek. So easily capture learning from any app or website. You can tap the extension to take a screenshot or even capture part of the screen. And they appear in Cisa for students to reflect, okay? So as fast as that was, I'm actually going to show you a live demo, but let me show you actually how do we get this extension, right? This is exciting stuff. So you're going to actually get it right here. You can follow this bit.ly to be taken directly into the Chrome store. And we also just have a little bit longer demo video here. I'm not gonna play that right now because I'm gonna do a live demo. But if I click on this link, I just wanna show you what this looks like in the Chrome web store. And again, this is gonna work great on your Chromebook. It's also going to work great on any computer that has a Chrome browser. So this can be used in that situation as well. So I have already installed it on my Chrome browser. So this is asking me to remove it. But for you, it would say install, right? So because I already have it here, you can notice in the upper right, you can see this little Cisa icon, okay? That's letting you know that it is already installed on my Chrome browser. So should we try this out? I'm so excited. Okay, so let's imagine, for example, maybe your students are on Wonderopolis, this website, right? If you don't know Wonderopolis, just get there quick. All sorts of great engaging articles, listing common wonder, so you can check that out. But say I am here, I'm a student, I'm reading this. And I think to myself, oh, my goodness, I am seeing some vocabulary that we're working on in my class, right? So I'm just gonna go ahead and tap right here on the Cisa Chrome extension. And I want to capture, either I can screenshot the whole entire screen, but I'm gonna actually capture a selected area because, and you'll notice here, I'm just gonna draw, click and drag here. And here's what's happening. Once I release, my finger is, oh, my goodness, it is right in Cisa. So I was already signed into my Cisa class, so it takes me right there. Now, if your students aren't signed into Cisa when they use that extension, it's just going to say, hey, sign into Cisa, so it will take them right there. So what I notice right now is one of my amazing vocabulary words that I have been focusing on this week in my classroom, I'm finding it right here in this article. And actually I could at this point start recording my voice and I could start maybe responding to an article, making a connection to an article, but actually I wanna pull something else onto my screen and actually it's a Google slide because each week my teacher may, maybe you share with your students some things via Google slides and maybe they use that as part of their workflow. Well, with this Chrome extension right now, guess what? Because it's in my browser, I'm just gonna click right here, I'm gonna capture this selected area because one of these slides that I was creating for my vocabulary, I wanna bring that into Cisa too. So because I'm actually gonna make a connection here from that and do a little explaining as well. So, I'm gonna hit record, I love this ability to draw and record on Chromebooks now. When I was reading this Wonderopus article about homework and if we should have it or not, I noticed the word anguish and that was one of our vocabulary words that we have been focusing on throughout the week. Here's how I created a definition for it and I selected an image as well, but this was a great connection for me while reading this article. Now, in my mind, I think I would not like to have homework because as I noticed in this article, and again, your students, they can reflect, they can respond, all sorts of things can be done with this extension when they're bringing in those screenshots and capturing from that, any website or browser that they are interacting with. So, I can, because I'm signed in as a teacher, I'm getting some options here. I'm actually gonna put it here, post to fifth grade. I have so many classes and then that's going to be added there into that classroom. Here we go. Again, these steps are kind of showing for me because I'm in all sorts of different classes right now. 15, as you can see in the upper left, but there it is, there is my work that I had just pulled in from that browser, which is awesome. So you might be thinking, wow, now my head is spinning what my students can do, right? So maybe here are five ideas you can start thinking about and try with this new Chrome browser extension. Maybe they're reading a news article. Maybe they are working on a math problem from another site. Maybe you have common sites that students go to to kind of work through things. What if they take that screenshot, bring it into CISA and add some reflection with their voice or other creative tools? Maybe they're capturing a page from a book. Maybe they're narrating a coding project if they're on various websites for that as well and they want to kind of get that final project into CISA and maybe just capture the screen on that. And again, as you saw me add, I added some voice to that Google slide and actually I even put a couple of images on that one page as well. So those are all options. Of course, you are gonna come up with so many more opportunities as well to really take advantage of that amazing new Chrome extension. Again, that is something you would use in addition to app.CISA.me. So students can capture their learning from that browser with that extension. All right, I'm gonna pause for a moment and give my recording code to my viewers out there to get their certificate. The last three digits is our three, six, six. So you'll enter those six digits to get your certificate if you are viewing the recording. All right, we are coming to our question time of this session. So think about things that you would like me to clarify or things that you're curious about that we discussed today. I know I threw lots of tips at you. So I'm eager to see what you would like to hear a little bit more about. And of course, encourage you to come to more sessions in PD in your PJs.
