 So good Thursday morning everybody. I hope you all are doing well. I'm happy to be here along with my colleague Kyle Boyson to share some digital tools that can be utilized in the classroom. I'll be going first to share a couple of tools and then Kyle will take over. So my name is Corana Cashord. I am the Director of Educational Technology for the Arizona Department of Education Adult Education Services Unit. The first tool I'll be featuring is Padlet. I'm going to show you all about Padlet. I'll demonstrate three examples of how Padlet can be used as a classroom tool. Then you will get to experience Padlet as a student would. And finally you will get an overview of how to create your own Padlet. So first of all what is Padlet? Padlet is a free tool with paid options. With the free version you can create up to three Padlets. So collaboration Padlet is an easy way to stay in touch with students with live updates. So for example during class time you would be able to see what is being posted as it's happening. It is accessible so Padlet can be used on a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or smartphone with the apps available for Apple, Android and Amazon devices. It supports many different file types which include website links, image uploads, document attachments and so on so that that can be added to a post in Padlet. So this offers flexibility in the types of deliverables you require of your students. It's also flexible so you can make them as simple or as complex as you'd like. You can make them personalized or plain. The Padlets that I will show you all use the same layout which is a grid or columns. But there are many other layout choices to choose from. And last but least Padlet is easy and intuitive. I know that it that's subjective but I do believe that Padlet is indeed easy and intuitive to use for any level of technology experience. It has a familiar feel if you have used or if you do use interest or social media you'll notice some some similarities. So I like to think of Padlet as education's Pinterest. So the first example is using Padlet as a discussion board. So this is what Padlet could look like if you were using it as a discussion board. You have your title up top which in this case is current events the 2020 census followed by a prompt for students to reply to. So this here is the prompt. The first boxes at the top of each column are the headings. So these this is where you can customize and enter whatever information you want. So these boxes here are where you can adjust what content goes in them and you can also adjust the amount of column. So you can have 10 columns. You can have one column that's completely customizable. In this case students were given a sentence starters and asked to reply in the appropriate column. Students would hit the circle at the bottom of the column to add their response. So they would read the prompt and then decide which column they wanted to reply to or their response went with and then hit this circle button here to enter a reply. So if you notice the prompt asks them to provide a credible source. So this is where being able to insert a link and or attach a document comes in handy. So the goal here was to give students an opportunity to express their concerns regarding the census and you as a teacher could address any misconceptions that they may have had regarding the census. So this is just an example of how the discussion board could be used. You could also use padlet as a resource repository. So now that we are working remotely staff meetings and other opportunities to collaborate may have gone down. So this is one way you can still come together and share resources with your colleagues. As you can see here we have several states sharing ideas about an attendance reporting model known as the teacher verification model. This setup could be used to share instructional materials with other teachers at your program or maybe by subject. So if we change these headings instead of having the states here if we added reading language arts, math, civics, science or if we had teachers names if we had Mrs. Casual we had Mr. Boyson etc etc you could have a one-stop shop for instructional materials that are vetted by your peers. So this is one way that you can still collaborate with your with your fellow teachers as far as sharing instructional resources or any other information announcements that sort of thing that you wanted to share and collaborate on. The last example of how we can of how to use padlet is using it as a mini LMS and I mean mini. So maybe you have a lot of instructional resources for your students you just need a way to organize and manage submissions. Enter a padlet. So the title can be for example the teacher's name and subject or just the teacher's name and let each column be a different subject. So for example here I have the teacher and the subject and then please find your class each column please please find your class column and attach your assignment when completed. So I mean depending on how your program is set up and how you want to set up this mini LMS you could have your eligible one class or if you have multiple subjects in one class and it's more by day so you could have your Monday Wednesday AM class here and this is an example of a post that I gave for an assignment. So it says please complete the practice problems below and return by Friday. So one thing that I do recommend is color coding your post your your post as the teacher a nice bright color so that when you start getting submissions and the scroll bar gets longer and longer students can easily identify your posts whether they're announcements or assignments. So if you consider scrolling down down down down every time they see a bright orange post they'll know that it's an assignment or something they need to read from the teacher. So this assignment was to complete a handout with math problems and students can submit them with the reply. So once they reply they can say I said hi teacher here's my assignment they can up if they saved it to their computer they can upload from a compute their the file from their computer. This happens to be from a Google Drive so they could even just enter the link to their Google document as a submission. They could take a picture of their of the handout and upload it there so they have all these options to upload their assignment. Another example so if you see here there's the film circle. So if you wanted your ESL students to practice speaking for example they could use the film option to record themselves repeating a list of vocabulary words that you might give them. So there are many ways that you can that you can get a deliverable from your student thanks to this flexibility here all these options. Okay so now you're going to get to experience Padlet from a student's perspective. So I've set up this sample Padlet for us to use as a discussion board. If you have an iPhone you can just use the camera to scan the QR code otherwise you can go to the website read the prompt and add your story to to one or more of the categories. I'm sure we have more than one one story. You know somebody asked if there is a way to make the instructional text on the Padlet larger or more evident. Yes you can show you can adjust the font I'll show that just after this example. So this is an example of how Padlet could be used as a discussion board. So now I'm going to go over how you can create your own Padlet. So first up you would go to this website www.padlet.com and register for an account. I just use my Google account so that I don't have to remember a new login or password. It gives you that option so I definitely take advantage of that. Then once you log in you'll see that you'll see this menu here. You're going to click on the pink circle that says make a Padlet and then this is where you get to choose your layout. You can choose a wall which is probably what you would see like in Pinterest, Canvas, Stream which you would see for example on social media like a Twitter feed. Don't actually have Twitter so that might be inaccurate. I apologize. Grid is what I was using for the discussion board and the resource repository and the mini LMS. There's a shelf. There's back channel which like like you would see in your phone through texts. A map and a timeline. So you can choose any of from any of these and then you click there will be a gear button and you'll get this modify selection and this is where you can make all your you can you can basically customize it. So title you enter your title. You give the description. You can choose an icon and it basically has all of the emojis that you would have in your text keyboard so there's a lot to choose from there and then this address is important as well as you can see by default it just assigned you a combination of numbers and letters but this is where you can put something to make it easier for students to log into. So if you remember in the example mine was slash Q life quarantine life so you can make it first you can personalize that so it's easier for students to get into. You can adjust the wallpaper. You can make the color scheme whether it's darker or lighter and then you have these other options as well. So display author name above each post. If you're going to use it for classroom purposes I would say turn that on that way and it would require students to log in so they would have to get an account as well but you would see who posted what. But again if you did it like a mini LMS and their their submission had their name on it then I guess they wouldn't need to have their name above it but it's up to you. A new position post this is like email do you want the new post first or last the top rather bottom. Common so you can allow classmates to reply to posts reactions this is kind of like social media where you can give them a star a thumbs up heart that sort of thing you can choose what what icon they can give. Content filtering require approval before it gets posted so you can you can decide whether you want to approve things before they post and then a filter for profanity that replaces bad words with nice emojis so that's one. So in a nutshell that is padlet do we have any questions. Yeah there are a couple of questions still pending asking if you're using this for ESL classes. Personally no I am not using this for ESL courses. And the other question was do students need a padlet account. Yeah so if you turned on the attribution where the author's name was displayed students would need an account otherwise you would just give them the link like I gave you here and they could go in and post. Padlet is available in multiple languages but I've never tried it so I don't know how well the translations are. As far as the size of the text I thought it was here under but I mistake I mistook it for color scheme that you can be adjusted I apologize I don't see where you can adjust the size of the text. And then could you go over again personalizing the URL and how how that link is created so that students can receive it. Sure so here where it says address this yellow underline is where you can personalize so by default it gives you padlet.com slash your name or your username and this the last part of the slash is what you can personalize. So if you wanted to put a voice in math or you know whatever you wanted it to be this this is the section that you could customize and for example here the Q life is what I customized the sample went to because the topic was quarantine life. So this first part padlet.com slash Karina underscore Avila 07 will always stay the same but this last part the Q life is what gets customized. Once a padlet is created is it possible to erase it and use it again. Yes and that is what I do so like I said with the free version you can only create three but you can you can continuously modify update delete columns add new ones so it's as long as you don't need more than three at a time you can completely use those three over and over again. For the sake of time if there's nothing else I'm going to move on to our next tool which is loom and loom is a screen capture tool that I like to use because it's free easy and intuitive are three favorite words when it comes to tech tools. So the website is up here it's use loom.com and using loom is as simple as installing a plug-in which the website has a big blue button for so when you go to this website you'll see a big blue button that says get started with loom and you just click that and it'll install on your browser and then you select what you like to record so you see here we have the loom plug-in right here I think I have a circle for it so it's circling the logo of loom and then you choose whether you want to share your screen with your camera just your screen or just your camera and then you decide whether you want the full desktop which if you're going to be switching between tabs definitely recommend full desktop you're just going to stay on one thing like you're just doing a lecture for your PowerPoint presentation you're not going to be leaving the PowerPoint you can do current tab either way and then you just hit start start recording it'll give you a three two one countdown so that doesn't it doesn't catch you off guard and then the other tab that you see here through the plug-in is notifications so it'll tell you when someone's viewed the video for the first time so that you know okay they received it that sort of thing but it only gives you a notification for the first one not thereafter and you can also disable that if you'd like so when you log into the website you can organize your videos into folders much like you would in a Google Drive so here this is how I recognize my my ADE folders miscellaneous questions and tips for success so I use loom I teach online courses for Grand Canyon University so this is what I use for that and then obviously ADE Arizona Department of Education to the videos I've created for that so you can organize them any way you like and two of the main ways that I use loom is to offer feedback and answer simple how-to questions so for example for feedback videos you see here they're they're relatively short between two and a half and three and a half minutes this project so there's only two to four people per group so hopefully everyone got to see it it tells you how many people viewed it and then how long ago it was made so if you think of your typical grading time you review the content you might write your notes on the side sometimes students have questions about it like what did you mean here sometimes they're unable to read it that sort of thing but if you consider giving verbal feedback through loom you can give clearer and more in-depth guidance as well as use your tone of voice to encourage students so like you could say something like you know this needed some improvement but you really did a great job here you know like show your enthusiasm for what they're doing or demonstrate you know if it's a speaking thing if demonstrate how to pronounce it something or how if they misspelled it you can pronounce it for them and then show you know this is why that sort of thing so ultimately the time it takes to review assignments is the same or less than grading with pen or paper and the feedback quality is generally greater because you can give more information easier and then the other thing I like to use it for is how-to videos so like I mentioned I teach online courses and I have found that with each course there's a set of frequently asked questions so I create a video to post in the discussion forum or announcements somewhere that I know students are going to go to that students can access so for example you get questions like how do I how do I access the rubric or how do I get to the grade book so you just create a short video how to do it so we can get that question you paste that link back to them and your set or maybe you have a colleague who sends you an email asking do you know how to access the Google Drive and you can do a quick screen capture of the steps and send the link off it's much faster and easier than trying to reply by typing out the steps and I mean some of the videos I've made are as short as 10 seconds so here I had a question from a teacher how about reading the student data sheets so I just showed them really quickly how to what each column represented that sort of thing I did a quick video on how to use the discussion board in Blackboard for one of the courses that we have going I have a introduction video about myself for my for my online course well 12 views it's like half the class so I won't take it personally and then again how to video for just demonstrating a tool Geogebra so it's two and a half minutes I mean it can be as long or as short as you want them to be or need them to be and that's loom so also consider that we just covered padlet so you may want to have your students create and deliver a presentation so they might have a PowerPoint presentation that you had them create but they're not able to present it in class as they would so they can record themselves presenting record their audio presenting each slide and then paste that link into their padlet as their submission so these tools can kind of work together as well we have any questions for loom there are a few here starting with is do you know if there's a limit on recording time with the free account I believe that there isn't a limit on recording time but there's like a limit on how many you can do wait or am I getting that backwards so I think that there is a limit on recording time but that's like 10 minutes something like that however what you can do is so what we did at Grand Canyon University is where I started using it is if you invite someone then you get that time is extended so my colleague invited me so she got the extended time then I invited the next colleague so I got the extended time so if you invite each other instead of all of you registering separately then that could work but I've never run into an issue where I have been cut off for the amount of videos I have or for length I'm not sure exactly what the time is we see I have 60 videos so far so I haven't been cut off yet but I do believe that there is a limit for the free account but it's pretty I mean it's pretty reasonable I haven't run into an issue with that yet and I hope that answers your question here are other questions so it's asking or they're asking can you download the videos and post them to YouTube which yes you can sorry the other thing I forgot to mention was as soon as you hit stop for recording the link is posted it automatically is attached to your clipboard so you just have to paste it wherever you want it to go so you don't have to copy the link somewhere you just paste it can you use loom on cell phones yes so at this point I'm going to pass it off to Kyle Boyce in Arizona is very talented blended and virtual learning specialist so take it away Kyle thank you Karina hi everybody I hope you're doing well my name is Kyle Boyce and I'm the blended and virtual learning specialist at adult education services division of the Arizona Department of Education today I wanted to feature a tool for you called play posit and we're just really quickly going to walk through and walk through setting up a play posit bulb and then understanding how you can utilize play posit to especially supplement distance learning and help with your classroom during this time of very specific needs so what is play posit to start play posit is a platform that allows you to bring in an external link for a video like a YouTube video or a video and you can take that video and insert interactions throughout the video that will stop the students viewing and ask them a question that you designate so in this example right here you can see that there is a clip from a video on heredity from the crash course series that's the link that I chose and I've ordered the video to stop here for students that are viewing it and pose them a question about how genetic traits are passed down from parents to children you can see it's a fill-in-the-blank question there are a bunch of different interactions which I will go into right now so once you pull in your link from whichever video you choose you can add discussion questions as you can see on the left here those discussion questions allow students to respond to a prompt that's given by the teacher and then reply to one another and all of those interactions are saved for that particular assignments so students can kind of build on their understanding in addition to that there are free response questions which require teachers to review responses afterwards there are where there are multiple choice and check questions as well that will grade themselves and provide instant feedback to students as well as fill-in-the-blank and other options as well so for this section right here you can go along with me and try this out this is a link to a preview of a bulb which is the term that playposit uses to describe a video that has interactions included inside of it if you did follow the link then it will look a little bit like what I have on my screen right here I'm going to click begin this is a this is a preview and so this video I'm going to pause it really quick to explain this video will not save the responses because we're just previewing it right now you need to assign it to students to be able to actually save responses I'm going to press play and I'll maybe talk over the video to explain what's going on water expands when it's heated and earth's ocean is taking in more than 90% of the heat from global warming that's a lot water temperatures also cause a lot of the ice to melt and it ends up in the ocean okay so you can see and usually there's a on the little navigating bar on the bottom there's indicators of where these are going to pop up but might didn't show up this time but you can see that I've included an interaction in this video and this is at a particular point in time where I felt as a teacher there it'd be good to check for understanding at the beginning of the video you can see on the left hand side this little sidebar is popped out with the question and these are checkbox answers so I've checked the two responses that I know to be correct and I'll click submit and what you can see right here is that it's given instant feedback to indicate that the student answered correctly there's a point total that you can you can adjust or you can remove if you if you so choose I'm going to click continue and it will take me on to the next bulb which I'm going to have to find I don't want to make you sit through the whole video right now if you don't want to now you can see the little bulbs that have been included on the very bottom and this is the second question which will have another fill in the blank answer it asked me to fill in how many feet the sea levels will rely will rise in in a child's lifetime that was born recently the answer I believe three I'm gonna put four just so you can see you well I got it correct so you can see right here that for fill in the blank it allows you to put in the anticipated responses for students I put four spelled out and then for the digit if it were to be answered incorrectly you would see that there'd be no points awarded and it would immediately tell the students that that was the case so I'm going to go ahead and click continue and as the ocean rises I'm going to jump ahead to the next bulb you can see down on this bar that there's these white bubbles that have appeared that's where I've included interactions there is the only planet we've got and you can see right here that the video is requesting a long form answer so this type of answer if you I'm just going to type the word answer and click submit you'll see that this is an asterisk out of three points which will prompt the teacher later to review the answer and give feedback moving forward this is a discussion board post it has to do with politics so I'm not going to go too far into it right now I'm going to just type the word reply here and reply with a generic comment you can see that that comment is posted right here all students that subsequently view this video will then see that same comment and have the option of posting their own original reply back down here where I post where I typed before or clicking reply underneath another student's comment and commenting on what they've included so you can facilitate a discussion this way and that's pretty much it for this example video because I want to take some time to show you what things look like from the perspective of a teacher but first I think it's probably okay to take some questions right now if if there are any where did the questions come from and did you create them these are questions that I created so I've created a a handful of different videos just as kind of an example but these are fully customizable there is the option I'm glad you brought it up there is a repository that's available of all of the public lessons that teachers have created so you can go through and find content that other teachers have assembled and use that to to make the process a little bit quicker okay the next question says do the students have to answer before continuing with the with the viewing activity or can they skip answering the questions so the way that functions is customizable by the teacher so you can go ahead and you can choose how you want the video to be consumed I suppose so once you get to interaction you can say can does a student have to answer the question right now can the student quick skip the question can the student go back those are all options that you can enable or disable depending on what you're going to be using the video for so there's a lot of customization in there as well okay next question will spacing matter when answers are entered i.e if you hit the space key before entering four would that have affected anything yeah I believe so I haven't tested it extensively but from what I understand based on the way that it interprets answers you want to be very careful about the the way students be very careful in informing students that they need to answer the in the cleanest way possible I suppose the most direct because those fill in the blank ones are going to you're going to be able to put in as many answers as you want to anticipate but it's not going to be able to account for errant special characters and spaces and things like that so I'm going to be careful awesome can the students click on the videos at any time or do students and teacher need to be online at the same time so this video that we just watched that I just went through is a preview and is actually accessible at any time and is a great option if you want to just add annotations to a video and have students view it and kind of be guided through the process but once again it doesn't record answers if if you want it to record answers then this teacher needs to assign it to the students that they've put in their class on PlayPosit which is something I'm actually not going to go into how to do today but those resources are available on the PlayPosit website okay and last one can the created videos be inserted into another platform like canvas so the integration for PlayPosit is definitely integrated into Google classroom I'm not a hundred percent on the canvas piece I have to verify that in fact we're going to look briefly at a Q&A sorry an FAQ that's included on PlayPosit's website later and it probably addresses it there but the only one I can confirm is Google classroom right now awesome and that's it for questions okay so I'm going to jump back over to the presentation for just a couple brief slides getting started with PlayPosit is pretty simple don't go do this right now it'd probably be better to follow along but all you're going to need to do is go to playposit.com you're going to log in and you can see in the first the first slide right here the login piece is just at the top right after that I would highly recommend logging in with an account that's linking your Google account linking your Office 365 account or something that will help you remember the password because it's just one more platform after that you'll be taken to a dashboard where all of your videos that you've created your bulbs is the word that they use all the bulbs you've created are displayed as you can see in this third slide and then there's a button a blue button that says add Doombolt all you have to do is click that and it will take you to what I believe is called the director and that's where you're going to input the URL for the video that you've chosen so rather than inundate you with more slides I'm going to take you through that process so you can see my screen right here I have navigated to the dashboard where I can see all the videos that I've created you can see actually right here at the top is the video that we just viewed a preview of I'm going to go ahead and add a new bulb to show you the process that a teacher has to go through to create a bulb and I'm going to enter it's not the director it is the designer so once I'm in the designer this is where I can input a URL I'm going to click this input URL that has a link icon next to it and it will ask me to input the URL I'm going to click over to another tab right now where I have a video about learning basic greetings in English and then I'll jump back over to where I was I've copied that URL and I will paste it in this section once it's pasted in if it's a video that's from YouTube then PlayPosit will automatically find a preview of it and show you what you're getting into so that you can verify that this is this is indeed the video that you want to start to add interactions to and edit it will also offer the default title you can change that as needed if you have naming conventions for your classes that's all well and good I'm going to leave it for now as as a default too which is learning English in 30 minutes which seems like a tall order so I'll click done right here to verify yes that's the video I want to work with and it's going to take me to the place where I can start to add interactions I do want to let you know right now that if you want to add a second video you can do that or you can add a third and a fourth and you can inter-splice videos at your will which is a little bit more advanced and not something that I'm going to go into for the sake of time but is pretty useful if you want to be very very focused on the content on a certain piece of content that one video doesn't cover completely I want to direct you first we're going to play the video and I want you to listen to the first about 10 seconds of it speak real English from your first lesson sign up for your free lifetime account at EnglishClass101.com so the first 10 seconds of the video are essentially an advertisement and because I'm teaching language learners I don't really want to add any other distractions so one of the features that this designer has is if you click up here in the top left it's kind of hard to see there's an icon of scissors you can trim the videos down which is super helpful for focusing on specific portions of videos that may be longer than you'd like so I grabbed this green handle and I can move it all the way up and down I'm going to move it to 10 seconds just to clip out that advertisement and I'm going to shrink this down to three minutes so we have a two minute and 50 second video when all is said and done and I'm going to click done so now you can see that this video if I scrub back to the beginning and press play welcome to EnglishClass101.com that's going to start from the point that I've indicated I'm going to play the first 20 seconds after this so that you can get an idea of what this video looks like and then I'm going to start to insert some interactions English in three minutes the fastest easiest and most fun way to learn English hi how's it going I'm Alicia nice to meet you in this series we're going to learn some easy ways to ask and answer common questions in English it's really useful and it only takes three minutes in this lesson you're going to learn new more common ways to ask and answer the question how are you in English so my teacher senses are tingling and that means it's time to insert an interaction to make sure that students are following along I'm go ahead and insert a free response which you can see right here now that I've chosen to add interaction I can add multiple choice fill in the blank pull check boxes discussion you can also add embedded images and you can add annotations which are super helpful if you're doing something that's more of like a guided walkthrough of a video these templates I'm not going to go into right now but are helpful if you're doing the video series that has similar videos and you want to apply interactions at certain points so I'm for this first interaction just going to click free response and you'll see right here that it's going to have me enter enter my question I'm going to enter the question what will you learn from this video I have these already prescripted here and then when students get to the 37 second mark as you you can see right here in the blue text at the top of this interaction then it will ask them what will you learn from this video and they'll be able to provide a response in long answer form so they can write a paragraph if they just use remember those are going to need to be reviewed by the teacher afterwards so they're a little bit more time consuming but can offer you a little bit more insight as well so I'm going to click play and I'm going to continue on you've probably learned how are you and I'm fine in textbooks before she's going to go over a couple examples of of how people ask or how people greet each other in English and I'm going to fast forward a little bit she goes over some some questions that you might hear and some response potential responses not bad let's look at our question again how are you this is the most well known way of asking how someone is you can so I'm going to add interaction right here to ask what the examples that she went over were and I'm going to make it a checkbox I'm going to say well it's less of a question and more of a command here check all of the sentences that are common responses to how are you and so we've got good she went over not bad not great I'm going to add it right here another answer option not great and then also over there which is kind of the the obvious choice to not check so as a teacher once you click once you insert these checkbox options you need to check the correct answers so that the students will understand will receive that immediate feedback and it will be auto graded so I'm going to go ahead and press done it's going to include that second interaction at 130 and that's essentially how that process will go you'll go through the video stop it at certain points that you think are essential and add interaction to check for understanding or create a discussion you can see right here that these interactions have been included on this this designer section so that I can see which order they go in and I can also edit them and I can see the timestamp as well I'm going to fast forward really quickly to the very end of the video and I'm going to include one interaction that I haven't mentioned too much so far which is the poll you can go ahead and poll students at the very end and I'm going to ask them which response do you prefer when someone asks how are you I'm just going to type a couple of options right here I'm fine and great just to gather some information for students and to allow them to kind of have a little bit of agency express themselves in the class so done once that's done and I feel good about the bulb that I've created which once again is just the term for a video with interactions in it I click on review I can type a learning objective in here I'm not going to do it right now you can tag the video so it's searchable by the public the there was a question about playback options earlier that I want to address if you drop this menu down you can allow learners to rewind after an interaction appears so they can go back and find the answer or rewatch a video if they miss something you can allow learners to skip interactions if you so choose you can allow learners to jump through the video and fast forward if you choose and you can allow them to retake it so you have a bunch of options of how you want to deploy this how high stakes you want to make it if you're going to make it strict and stop them and not let them rewind so those are all options that are in your control I'm going to save my changes right here save and exit it's going to take me back to my dashboard you'll see here at the top the video that we just created or the bulb excuse me over on the action side I can then assign it to my class and I'll do that really quick but I'm not going to go through how to create a class so this is kind of hedging into the territory that's that's not been explicitly explained but if you have questions not only are there resources on the site but there are also we'll take a second to answer some questions at the end of this so unassigned selected date it says for my class that's called pima training this is just for training that I was doing before I'm going to select a due date of the 14th so one week from today looks like midnight is the due date and then once it's assigned students will have that accessible as an activity inside of the platform I can also get the assignment link from here and copy that link and I can share it with students in my class or on an lms if if I'm doing an announcement on for example so even if there is an explicit integration you can you can address that piece by by copying those lesson ids over and then students have access to them will be able to will be able to access that concept pretty easily that is the quick introduction to a tool that that really addresses a lot of needs in a in a time of distance learning so I guess it's a good idea to take some questions if there are any yeah so the first one is do students need accounts to play play positive videos or to view play positive videos so the viewing of videos just like we did with the previews if you're not going to record responses you don't need an account for so that was the example we looked at earlier if you are going to record responses they will need to sign up for an account so if they have a google account I would recommend logging in that way but they can just supply their email as well okay and the other question is is there an option to slow the speed of the video that is a great question and I don't know off the top of my head so I'm going to jump over to the preview really quick and see if yes so um you can still see my screen I assume it looks like in the bottom right when you are in the preview video or the lesson you can slow the speed down just like in YouTube to quarter speed half speed and then you can speed it up if you're I don't know to try to torture your students I guess it says can you embed play positive videos in a blog or canvas course okay so I just mentioned going over or including that link and let's see orange I'm looking at an FAQ document that's pulled straight from their site here um organizations upgrade to institutional licenses because they want to integrate with LMS's so it looks like the integration with other LMS's is maybe a pro feature um all the the presentation so far has been done on only tools that are accessible for free by teachers so there is a limitation on how many learners can view these bulbs which is capped at 100 unique attempts per month so the example they give is if you have 25 students you can do four bulbs per month so this would be a supplemental material in the free version but if you do want to do a guided video with the preview like we did initially those options would be available for without any real limits that I've found so we wanted to say thank you very much for taking time out of your what I assume to be crazy busy schedules and joining us to look at some tools to aid in in your efforts to to continue to facilitate distance learning with your students um we have an email address that will reach all of the edSEC team if you have questions or looking for recommendations that you can reach us at AES edtech at azed.gov and then we are starting actually to do weekly webinars on these tools and we're kind of building up a repository of tools and guidance on how to use them and you can access that channel that part of our youtube channel at the bit.ly link below which we'll also include in chat here thank you for this information uh yeah I haven't seen anybody do the play post it um so that'll be fun to play with and I've got some new ideas on the padlet and the loom so thank you thank you for presenting remember everybody that the handout will be posted as soon as Karina gets it to me it'll be posted on the OTAN website and all the links that were contained within the the handout will be there on the OTAN site as well
