 Let's go ahead and get started. So here's me. I do work for Garden Grove, as most of you know. And I've been at OTAN. This is going to be starting my fourth year pretty soon. And currently I'm in Sacramento. I've been here since March, middle March when our school closed down. Not closed down, but closed. Alright, and here's the OTAN logo for more information. If you have any questions, support at OTAN.us. And again, here's that reiteration. So when you go to the OTAN.us, then you're going to go to this little field to the word. Alright, so here's our agenda, short and simple and sweet. How can I use it? And how can I use it? And I know you're thinking, um, Alyssa, I think there might be a typo on there. You wrote the same thing twice. Trust me, you'll see why. Alright, so I made a few videos trying to think what these are. Okay, so we're all going to learn together. One of the ways to create a screencast so that your bookmark bars and your tabs at the top of your screen do not show up on your screencast is to select the browser tab when you first click on screencastify. And that way, only what you want them to see is there. And if I'm on Google Slides, then I can easily click present and it becomes a full screen. If you would like to start in full screen, then you would do alt, shift, and the letter R. And then that will start your recording and then alt, shift, R to stop your recording. So this was in as a follow up to some of the previous questions about, you know, you have your tabs up at the top of your screen or you have your bookmarks, you know, across your screen on your computer. And if you make a screencast, then people can see what's actually on your screen. So that was a way to kind of work around not showing your bookmarks and your tabs. So as you can see, I'm already in full screen and you can see the previous video that we just looked at. And all I did was hit alt, shift, R and the three second countdown begins and I'm doing my screencast. And then when I'm finished with it, then I just do alt, shift. So you can tell that I didn't plan that very well because I stopped the video before I stopped talking. So alt, shift, R will be your best friend. I have a little post it note to this as alt, shift, R right on my computer, right at my desk area, my work area, because I do use it quite a bit. Instead of going up to your screencast icon and then starting a video and ending a video there because it shows when you use a screen, you know, as your screencast, as your recording, then I just do my alt, shift, R and then my mouse doesn't move. So that might be one way to work around having those extra little flinches and things not show. You can also trim those out too if it's at the beginning and at the end. Great. So let's try one more. If you don't want students or your participants to see them, but you need to go back and forth between tabs is to go ahead and select desktop when you're starting your screencast. But before you actually do that, you want to hide your bookmarks. So if you come to the skinny snowman at the top next to your icon, you're going to click on bookmarks. And then where's the show bookmarks bar? Go ahead and check that and it's unchecking it. So now my bookmarks are gone. And then if I didn't want students to see, you know, other tabs that I had at the top, remember, you can pull your tab to the front. And let go and it hides everything behind it. It's still there. You still have your things behind it, but now they're hidden. So it looks like you only have one tab open. So that's another way for you to hide your tabs and or your bookmarks. If you don't want participants to see them. Okay, so those were a couple of the workarounds on how to hide bookmarks and your tabs. All right. So screencasts. So screencasts is kind of the generic word for video recording. It's like driving a car. If you have the basics down, you literally can go to any other tools that do video recordings and and do them. The basics are all the same. Now, some of them have other tools. They may be placed in a different place just like when you go to when you drive a car. I know how to drive a car. And if I get into your car, it's basically the same thing, but maybe some of the controls are in a different place or you might have more functions than I do. That's just the way it goes. Some of them are better. Some of them are not so good. But if you have the basics of how to make a recording, you can use other tools like screencast, a medic, loom screencast to fi, you know, they all do basically the same thing. They're just different programs. So when you finally do a screencast, whether it be with screencast to fi or screencast a medic or loom, these are different ways that you can share your videos. You can email them. You can text. You can use a texting app like remind and what's app. You can use an LMS like classroom and Moodle and you can use websites like sites, Google sites and Weebly. And the ones with the asterisks, those are all covered. They won't be covered today in today's session. But they do have it available in other webinars, how to upload things. Can screencast if I integrate inside a live zoom like today? Yes, because I can show you how I can make a screencast screencast right now while we're in zoom. So you can definitely make but you have to be going to have to have it planned in your head, because whatever you're saying is going to be in that recording, but a lot of And a lot of teachers, I have told me before that they've screencast a zoom. Okay, two things. They, they have done it, but to to record it so that they can send it to their students for later on, like in the actual zoom like students had questions and things like that. But the other thing is that you have to keep in mind that screencastify allows you to have five minutes. This is the free version of the basic account allows you to make videos up to five minutes. If you would like to pay for the premium account is $29 a year for the educate for educators, and then you're unlimited. So if you actually wanted to, if you didn't have the option to record your zoom meeting or something, but you wanted to record it. Then you can use screencastify if you had the paid version. That was a good question. So email, once you make your screencast and you get to the ending slide, you can send your screencast straight from email. So screencasts get automatically saved into your drive. So in order to use screencastify for those who haven't been here yet, you, you must have a Google account. And so in order, once you make a screencast because screencastify is an extension. It's a Google extension. And you'll see on the top of my computer right here. I have it next to all my extensions. So it's readily available anytime I can be on any tab anything and open this and a screen. I can start screencasting. And so once you finish, you can go to more options and then send an email, and then you can type in an email address of, you know, who you want to send the video to and send it off. And then I tried it today because I thought, I wonder if I can do a group, because I have my students in a group, and instead of typing each one of their email addresses is one at a time. I typed in my group name and it came up so I can do it straight from screencastify and send all my students the one video all at the same time. It was magical. I was super excited to find that today. If you happen to be in Gmail and you made a screencast before and you never sent it or you sent it before and now you want to send it to someone else, you're going to compose a new email. And down here at the bottom, you're going to select your drive. Now, so here's the other thing too and I I've made this mistake because when I first started this I had two different accounts. So my screencastify account is connected to a different Gmail than my students Gmail and I mean my account my the account that my students use for my Gmail so I had to go back and forth I was flipping back and forth. So I finally made another screencastify account with the with the Gmail account so please for for just sake of being organized, you might want to consider making your Gmail account and your screencastify account with the same email. That would help. And then you go here you go into your drive, you find your screencast you insert and you send. It's as easy as that so before today when I didn't know that I can do it straight from screencastify I was coming here, and then I was typing in my group. And then I was in inserting the screencast here and then sending it to my students. So either way it works. They both work the same way. Text, I played around with this with my boyfriend and we figured it out how to do it. You can send a text with the link when you are. Let me see if I have it back. When you get the shareable link, then you just paste it into. Oh, I'm sorry, when you're on your phone when you're on. Okay, so when you're on your phone, you cannot make a screencast, but you can send and receive a screencast. So when you are on your phone, you go to your drive. Okay, so go to the Google Drive app. Find your screencast, click on the skinny snowman, and then click on copy link, and then go back to your text whom, whomever you want to text. And then for me I pushed my finger down in the texting message place, and then it said paste and I just pasted it there. So I don't, I assume it's probably the same process for everybody, but maybe just different, it looks differently or different functions, but you can copy and paste a link on your phone. And then I sent one to an Android, and it was, it was super easy friendly, they got the text they clicked on the link they I think he had to. It asks, do you want to open it with Chrome, or do you want to open it with the, with your email address or something he clicked email, and it was, it opened no problem. I sent it to Blair with an iPhone, and she said it was just like that too and clicked on the link. It asked you a question you click on it and then or which account do you want to open with, and then she was able to open the video right then and there. So with either an Android or a an iPhone, it was pretty easy to text. So, yesterday I was working on this presentation, and I was amazed because I think screencastify really listens to feedback. So if you have any suggestions for them like I wish it could, or it would be so cool if it could, there is a little place right here is to suggest it, because all of a sudden, there are now share buttons with Ed puzzle, wakelet and remind. So they must have gotten a lot of feedback about this because when I after I did the second screencastify session, Ed puzzle came up, and we kind of talked about it in the third one but I wasn't too familiar with Ed puzzle. But it's it's making quizzes with videos and it was kind of cool I opened up an account I tried it. But then now yesterday, all of a sudden, I saw wakelet and remind. So for those of you who are using remind. This is just one more step easier for you to make a video. Send it through remind and get it to all your students. So I thought that was pretty amazing. So again, if you have other platforms that you use besides classroom YouTube email and these click right there, it's under the add more share options, add more share options, and then click here and send it to them. I mean, who knows maybe someday in the future, you'll see whatever was that you asked for on their list. So that was cool. All right, so here's that first one how can I use it. So what I mean by that is when when can I use screencasts. So you can use screencasts for communication. This is what we're talking about some of you had written in the chat about your motivation for using it it's it's just a way for you to communicate with your students. If you're not doing zoom or meet or some sort of video conferencing with them. I mean it's now been about three months that you haven't seen them and more importantly they haven't seen you. So if you can make some videos just so they can see your face and feel connected and hear your voice. Oh my gosh it's magical and they're so appreciative of it. You can use it for information, you can make how to use and instructional so if you're teaching. If you're talking about grammar will will you'll see an example later on, but if you're doing some sort of grammar lesson or a math lesson or something, then instead of a how to like click here and go here and use this website. You're actually doing instruction like you were on a whiteboard. You can give some feedback, whether it be personal feedback to your students one on one maybe with their homework or something like that, or collaborative maybe you're working with colleagues on a project. And so you can give some feedback with them on a video instead of typing everything and typing your comments out which is fine. But if you just kind of made a video then they can actually see sometimes text or docs, texting or word processing. It gets lost in translation sometimes if you if you type it somewhere with the intonation in your head and then somebody else reads it a little bit differently that could be kind of awkward sometimes. So if you made a video they can hear exactly how you're saying and say oh that that's what she meant by that. So let's start talking about screencast. Okay, so let's talk about how to add it to an email. I'm just thinking about you. I hope you're doing okay. I love you. Bye. Could you hear that? Yes. Okay, good. So that was just a quick like four second video that I made to Maria, and I'm just going to send it off to her, and she's going to open and go oh my gosh my teacher is thinking about me and that was so sweet. And you know it could have been a blanketed like hi students and I could have sent it to all the students and they would have been just fine. But you know every once in a while because my online class since we've closed school is so small now it really doesn't take that much longer to make one for every one of my students. So every once in a while I don't do it a lot but every once in a while I will just say hey you know hi I'm thinking about you you know I hope you're well. All right so here's where the hands on practice comes in and I'm hoping this is going to work and you will be my guinea pigs. So I am said about three minutes but again you know I don't know how long it's going to take we'll see the goal is that you're going to email or text me a screencast. So you're going to create a very short one make it super small and title it with your first and last name. Be sure your setting is on public or enlisted when you finish check over here and make sure that it doesn't I think it defaults to pride mind defaults to private. So I need to check either public or enlisted I've made all of mine public because I really don't care who sees them I mean more power to them if somebody wants to watch my my screencasts they're on my drive so I don't I don't even know what when they would do it but just to be sure I just made it public but if you want to make it unlisted. I think that's fine also. Lisa while we're waiting for that we have a question. Sure. My drive has two copies of each screencast, one very large and one small mp4. Do I need to keep both. Are they. And that's unusual. I mean did you. Okay, so my question would be when you finished your recording. Did you save it as an mp4, because they will automatically save as an as a web m, which doesn't really take up a lot of space. So unless you actually purposefully selected, save as an mp4. And but if it's making two of them, one might be an mp4 and one might be the web m. You might have because when you do that it will come it will save as so you'll have the original and you'll have whatever you saved it as so no you don't necessarily need to have both unless you want to have one of each. Double check to see if you're one of them is a web m you'll see web m at the end or and one as an mp4. Just wondered if I can do alt shift are on a Mac. I think it's command shift for I don't have a Mac but I think the alt. Oh, it's all the same as command is actually I believe it's either going to be option or control. So I'm using the wrong lingo I have it in my head what it looks like but I don't know what the word is right. I think it's actually the option key. The person is asking. So, try the control shift are, and if that doesn't work, try the option shift are, I think you're right. Yeah, I remember seeing it when it has it on the list for Max. I think it does say option. Okay, so I am in. I'm here right now so I'm going to open up a new tab. Okay, and I'm going to select my screencast. I'm going to record. I'm going to also let me see here. You also want to make sure that you have the system audio if you have sound if you're recording a video or some sort of audio, make sure that this is also selected. So that's another one. Oopsie, and I'm going to record. I'm going to choose my screen. I hear my beats. Hi, this is a sample video. I'm going to stop recording. So this is what happens. This is the default as soon as it as soon as you finish. This is what happens if you need it always defaults to unmute. So if you want to listen to it. Hi, this is a sample video. Okay, so here's my sample video. I'm going to write. So I'm going to send in email send in email. Remember it. My video already went to drive. I don't even have to worry about that. And because I'm sending it from screencast by only have to get it from drive. I'm going to send it to myself. Because I love myself so much. Okay, here's the link. Check out this video. I didn't even have to write all that. Okay, and I'm going to send it. There you go 123 it was sent. So if I go into my email, which is in a different screen, so I'm not going to be able to show you, then I have an email from me about me. It's all about me. Okay, so that's how you do it. So I would also my, my thinking is my suggestion to you is that you name your screencasts as soon as you can, because it will do entitled and then the date and the time stamp. But if you forget it's just going to say untitled untitled untitled and you're going to have a bunch of untitles and then you're going to have to go through all of them to see which one it was so question. Can each screencast be customized graphically to give students a feel that your virtual room is really yours. For example, Mr sees ESL workshop with picture of me photos etc. I'm not exactly sure what that question means. Could someone start their screencast every time with the same slide. Oh, yes, if it was like kind of an introduction like now your students know that they're going to be watching this. Yeah, if you're in Google slides if you're always doing a Google slide or just have the Google slide as your as your opening screencasts and then and then move on to whatever it is that you're going to be teaching or showing you could do that. If you have the premium version, not the free version, you can actually trim in the middle of a video with the basic the free version you can only trim the beginning or the end. So if you have lagging time at the beginning or if you don't want to show that you're moving your mouse to end the recording you can trim those off. But with the paid, if you had like your opening slide but now you're transitioning into another tab and you don't really want students to see that you can trim that in the middle. Celia says you started with select screencast icon record choose screen. Oh, okay. Good question. Okay, so let me go back up here so let me I choose I mean I selected screencast if I so now you want to choose if you're going to use browser tab which is just you're going to stay in the same place the whole time let's say it's a Google slides. If you want to record your presentation, just click on browser tab you're going to stay in one place. If you're going to be moving around from tab to tab like I did I went from new tab to email and back and forth. Then I want to use desktop. If I just wanted to do a webcam only like a selfie video, then you would just click on the webcam option. Just choose that. And then the camera option is already done here. You can decide do you want your webcam on or off. And then same with this one. Do you want your webcam on and off because you can show your screen plus yourself at the same time. And the in the example that Jacqueline sent me. She had her screen plus she had her face and was talking to me so so you have that option. One of the things that we talked about before in previous screen sessions was that really be mindful of the focus. If you're showing something for your students and you really want them to focus on the information that's on the screen. Don't have your webcam on because they're obviously just going to be watching you and not really like if you're pointing to something or showing something. So you can toggle back and back and forth. So you want you maybe you welcome them. Hi students, we're going to learn about fractions today. Okay, let's get started. Turn your webcam off, and then show them the, the information, and then maybe put it back on. Okay, so hopefully you got it and if you didn't, you know email me, and then you end it. So you can be just be a little bit mindful about when to use your webcam and when not to use your webcam. So let's talk about it how you can use this for information. Again, we talked about you can use it for how to use and for instructions. So it's really kind of up to you how you decide how you want to use your screencastify. So here's a video. Okay, students. First thing I want you to do when you open a new Google Doc is to name it. So let's go ahead and type your name and your ID number. Not my name, your name and your ID number. Next, I would like you to put your name, type your name on the document itself one more time, and your ID number. So right here I'm going to hit enter, enter, goes down one line, and enter one more time. Next, you're going to type your vocabulary words. Number one, living room. Number two, kitchen, and you're going to finish the line. So after you type you hit enter, and the number automatically comes up. It's like magic. So finish your vocabulary. Okay, so that is a typical how to I'm instructing my students how to do something I'm doing a step by step in chronological order, and I'm showing them by example how to do that. The next one is going to be informational. Okay, let's keep practicing with our prep positions. Let's take a look at the sentence number one, the dog is in the park on the grass. All right, the dog is in the park on the grass. Where do you think is the preposition? Remember prepositions are take where are they in the park and on the grass. So let's take a look. The dog is in the park on the grass. So let me get my pen. And let's take a look at this. The dog is in the park on the grass. So those are your prepositions. I'm going to stop that real quick. So that wasn't an how to it was I wasn't showing them how to do something. I was showing them information about this particular grammar point. So you, you as instructor and now trying to think, okay, so what is it that I want to send my students. Am I sending them a how to like how to get into Google Classroom, or how to make a Google Doc, or how to use a certain website. Or are you just doing instruction as if they were in your class and you were showing them on the whiteboard what it is that you want to teach very quickly so let's go ahead and let me open up a new tab. Just so we don't confuse them where we are. So I'm in just a tad less say and I'm going to start my screencast. Okay, and I'm going to choose desktop because I'm going to switch around to something else. And I want to. Okay, so I'm going to start with my webcam on and then I'll show you how to turn the webcam off. Hi everyone, this is me and so I don't see my screencast toolbars usually at the bottom over here, but I think again is because I'm in zoom, but I think I can do control T, or Alt Shift T. One of the one of the shortcut keys will bring up the tab bar and then you can put your video on and off and I think I can do that too. So I'm still, I'm still recording but I don't have my video on anymore. Alright, so let's see how that worked. Okay, so let me turn it on. I don't see my screencast toolbars usually at the bottom over here, but I think again is because I'm in zoom, but I think I can do control T or Alt Shift T. One of the one of the shortcut keys will bring up the tab bar and then you can put your video on and off and I think I can do that too. So I'm still, I'm still recording but I don't have my video on anymore. So when you're in normal situation, in normal circumstances, if you're not on zoom, and you're just making a screencast and you can try it right now. When you start, when you start recording, you should see a toolbar on the bottom left hand corner. Again, so just in case if you do and you're like, Alisa, I don't see that toolbar. Make sure that you have this show drawing tools on there. Okay, so if for some reason that is toggled off and you say, Alisa, I can't find that toolbar just double check to make sure that's on and it should come up. Oh, okay. And also the tools will not show up if the site is not live. So if you're on a new tab, you have to be on a screen that's live. That might be the difference also. So we'll practice more with that. We have a couple of questions. Okay, can Screencastify import a PDF lesson file, like a list of words for pronunciation, and then record the teacher guiding students through oral practice using annotations pointer at the same time. Okay, so you wouldn't import into Screencastify, you would make a screencast of that PDF. So open up that PDF. Open up the PDF and then click on Screencastify. And then you'll have, you know, select the screen that has the PDF on it and then you can do the oral words or pronunciation for that screencast. And the annotation pointer. If I had this PDF and I wanted to go over the words with them first, then I can go ahead and select Screencastify. And then I can hit record. Let me make sure that everything's fine. Yes. And I'm going to choose my screen. Hi, students. So we're going to talk about the flag of the United States. And let's go over the words 1350 and be careful. I want you to make sure that you are pronouncing died and died with your D died with the D. So make sure you have good pronunciation. I give the United States and let's go over the words 1350 and be careful. I want you to make sure that you are pronouncing died and died with your D died with the D. So make sure you have good pronunciation. And what do I do if the share button doesn't respond. The share button and it's not responding. Um, okay, so let me go back up here. Let me see if we're on the same place. So I come here and here if I, okay, so make sure that you click. Okay, so I it's on another screen for me. But once you click here and you hit record, it's going to ask you. Sorry. Hang on. Sorry. Of course. It's going to ask you which screen you want. And before you can hit share, you have to select one of the screens. So click on one of your options. What do you want to share, and then the share button should be possible. So feedback. This has probably been one of the best things that I've used screencast for it has saved me a lot of time because my students send me their homework and they they take a photo they do it on paper and then they take a photo and then they send it to me and then I was emailing them, you know, like, Oh, remember, you know, don't, you know, remember capital at the beginning period at the end and I'm typing it all out. But with a video, I can actually just look at their paper and talk and say their comments, you know, for them, and specifically for them. So let me show you what I'm talking about here in this example of how to. Oh, no. I have too many toolbars open. I'm sorry. Here in this example of how to grade somebody's homework and give feedback. So for example, my student comes and some homework and I'm going to open up my email and open up her email her homework and I don't really need to open any of this stuff. I'm not sure if you will realize that but you can just go ahead and I'm just zooming into it and I can move and I can look at it. So if I were doing a screencast for her, I'd say thank you so much. Come for your homework. I love it. So let's take a look and see how you did. Who is cooking? Perfect. Make sure maybe make your W a little bit bigger. Yeah, so let's make the W a little bit bigger so it's bigger than the H. Question mark. Very good. The man is cooking in the kitchen. Period. Excellent. Great job. So these all look very, very good. Now let's take a look at number four. Number four. Who is doing? So let's take a look at this now. Who is doing? Let's rethink this. She is doing empty the dishwasher. So let me tell you, empty is the verb. Empty is the verb. Sometimes we use doing for other verbs, but we actually have the verb empty. So we can go ahead and say she is emptying the dishwasher. So let's take a look at the question. Who is emptying the dishwasher? Who is emptying the dishwasher? So let me grab my pen real quick and I can take out doing and we can put in emptying with an I and G the dishwasher. Question mark. Perfect. Then answer. She is emptying the dishwasher with a period. So maybe can we go through and you look at the rest and check to see if everything else is great. Then you can send this back to me. Okay. So that was just an example. And I was laughing because I forget the toolbar all the time. I forget that it's there. So as you can see, I was using my mouse pointer and that's usually what I do. But then I kind of realized, oh yeah, I have a pen. I can use the pen. So that's just me. I forget, but it is really helpful and handy. And I can also use the spotlight as well. And that helps focus where it is that I'm talking and she can see where I'm at. So that's that's the feedback. So one of the things just to step on my little pencil a little bit is what I've learned, which was really valuable. I learned this a long time ago is that really try hard not to use negative words in general. I think I think I read like the secret or I watched the videos the secret and the point was not to put negative energy out into the universe. And so to try to always use positive statements. So instead of don't forget your capital, then just say remember your capital things like that. So I really try. I mean of course I mess up and I forget a lot, but I really try hard to to use positive languages, language and words in my feedback. And in general as well. But I do forget because it's very easy for us to say, don't do this. Don't do that instead of remember to do this. If anybody teaches ESL or any class, I challenge you to have your students make their class rules without negative phrases. I did this when I taught advanced ESL and we made I told them to make 10 rules for the classroom and it was instantly, you know, like, don't chew gum, don't use your cell phone, don't, you know, speak your language. And I said, let's go ahead and let's rethink this in positives we can't use don't and we can't use no. So then they said speak English only in the classroom. Use your cell phone outside, you know, things like that it really kind of changed their thinking on how they perceived things and how they said things with each other and with me so just, you know, just food for that. Okay, so now you have my homework. I am your student and I'm so excited because I sent you my homework and I have some problems. There are some issues that that need to be changed. So I'm going to go to my screencast up here at the very top. Go to your icon. And then you're going to record. And I'm going to change. Choose. I'm going to choose the screen that has this document on it and share. Hi, Alisa. Thank you for turning in your homework. It looks good. So let's make some changes. Remember your name, your name is very important. So we need to make not a small one, not a small lowercase we need to change that to a capital, a capital your name is very important. Also your last name, capital T. Okay. You entered here. Excellent. You did your ID number. Very good. So now we have our sentences. The dog walking on the park. So what do we need right there? What did we forget? And then don't forget your verb blah, blah, blah. And then you stop recording. And then you're going to email it to me, send it in an email. Okay, you can. Sorry, you're gonna, you can, you can name it too. So Lisa's or whatever your, your, your name. Lisa's homework. You bet. So whenever I make a screencast for you, if I'm giving you feedback or, or following up on a question, I always type your name in it so that if I have to go back and look at it again, I know who, you know, which ones which So collaboration, remember collaboration is between colleagues or with your students. If you have one document for all of your students or one document for all of your colleagues, then you can give feedback through that. So let's take a look. Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for the document. The list looks great. For my input, I would really like to work on the classroom and the teacher guide and the student guide. So if you don't mind, I'm going to put my name next to that. If anybody else would like to work with me on this, or if you feel passionate about working on it. Just let me know we could talk about it. Thanks. So this was a document that was shared on a team at my school. And I was explaining that this is the sections that I would prefer to work on. But sometimes, if I typed it out like I want to do Google classroom, the teacher guide and the student guide. Some of my colleagues could take that as like, I'm doing it and you're not. And I claimed it and you don't get to do it, blah, blah, blah. So I kind of wanted to just let them know with my tone of voice said, Hey, you know, this is this is what I would like to work on. And if you want to work on it with me, that's great, you know, and but or you know, if you if you want to do it, you don't want me to do it, then let's talk about it. You know, just to kind of give it some tone and some some influence of of where I was coming from. So that was a screencast that I could use for my colleagues. And then here's another one. So I just made that screencast with this document, and I gave my input. And so now I want to add it to this document so that when other people from this committee, look at the document, they can also see my comment. So I'm going to add a comment here. And I'm going to paste that URL that I got from screencast and I'm going to make my comment. And so now when other people look at the document, they can see that I have made a video on there and they can click on that and watch the video. That's how you can use Screencastify for collaboration. Okay, so I was explaining about the document and I was making my screencast and now this is how I add it to the document. So let me show you how we're gonna do it. So bit.ly screencastify collaboration. So new tab bit.ly forward slash screencastify collaboration. Enter. And you can see that we have about seven people right now in the same document and you can see where people are have their cursors. Okay. So if they're making their screencasts right now, you would, you can either highlight a certain point, I want to do this part and then you can hit some screencast and do your, you can actually do that afterwards too. So go into screencast. Make your video. And then get the shareable link. And then you're going to go to the comments. As you can see when people highlight, you, there's a little button. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Not this one. When you highlight, you can get the comments and you can make, you can copy and paste your URL for the right here. The comment is next to the link. So mine was a little hidden because my screen is so big. So I go to the melted snowman and then look for the comments. It's right next to the link right here. And then you're going to add your comment, click on that and then it goes into the comments. Marjorie, Marjorie was practicing with me yesterday. There's no need to share. There's no need to do anything after you make your, your screencast and then you copy it into the doc. You can just let it go because we all have access to this document. So I can see all the comments that are made. And you can see each others as well. Alyssa, is there a way to keep out the noise of typing or clicking when you're creating your video? Unfortunately, no, there's probably, I probably do that too. I'm, I'm, I'm guilty of that. One of the things that was so intriguing about Google Meet is that you can actually, it filters out those background noises when you're on Google Meet instead of Zoom. And so if somebody is typing, if you are typing or you don't hear the little background noise. So I thought, that's pretty, that's a pretty good tool to get other people don't adopt that. All right. So now how can I use it? So there's the part two. Well, hopefully it's not part two, but it's how can I use it. So we've already talked about docs. We've done a lot of practice with them. You can link, you know, you can make a comment like we just practiced. You can make it a link. So you just type in whatever it is you want to say, and then you type in the link, and then you can make it a link for them to watch instead. So that's how you can incorporate it into Google Docs. You can make it in slides. Okay. Same thing if you're on Google Slides, you insert video, go to your drive, select your video. And that's how you put it right on your slide. So let me just do this real fast. So this is an example of how to embed a screencast right into your slide. So open up Google Slides and then choose your layout. So I'm going to make it this one so that I could just type something in here if I'd like. And then I'm going to insert and video. And then so you have your choices, you can do it by a YouTube by URL or by Google Drive. So since screencastify saves all of the videos in Google Drive, you can find all of the videos here. So if I just choose anyone, then I'm going to hit select. And then there it is. And I can move it around. I can change the size. If it's too small and you want to make it full size. And when you go into present, then it becomes full size. So it doesn't necessarily need to be as big as the screen. Okay, so because we're starting to really run out of time now, you can practice. If you want to open up a new tab, you can go to screencastify slides practice and you can do this after the session to this will all this will be up for you to practice anytime. So bit.ly forward slash screencastify slides with an s practice slides practice. And I think I can show you what it looks like. I think it's this one. So you're going to look for an empty slide. And I made 50 of them. So there's plenty of them. I mean, just come down here and choose anyone you want. That's empty. And then think of how you would like to use this with your students or colleagues and pretend that you're making a slide to to give to your students or colleagues. Okay, so you would make your screencast insert into the slide and then and then I would share it. Okay, and then this is the one that was kind of a game changer for me. I really wanted to make some listening because I teach beginning ESL I wanted to make more listening practices for them. So I figured out a way there was some steps to it but it's it's doable to make an image with audio. So if I click here. This is an example of how you can put audio only into your slide. Okay, so I chose an image and then I embedded the the audio into the picture so that my students can just click and then they would listen to whatever it is that I wanted to show them so I think this one is a really good one. So, let me show you how I did it. Okay, so I'm in Google slides and I'm ready to create a slide that my students will look at and when they click on a picture, they will hear something. So maybe this would be a good practice for an oral assignment or role play or maybe even just a listening assignment. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to insert an image and I'm going to search for it on Google and I'm going to select receptionist and I'm just going to take this little cartoon and insert. Okay, so when the students see the slide they will see this picture and the idea is that when they click on it they're going to hear a question and then they're going to practice the answer. So next thing I have to do is I have to make the audio for what they will hear. Hi, welcome. How can I help you? So when the students see this picture they clicked on it and then they heard the receptionist talk. All right, so I just finished the recording of what I want the receptionist to say. So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to title this. Let's type receptionist. Make this bigger. And then I'm going to export audio only. Export audio only. So it's in the download. So you'll see download, click on that and then export audio only. And what that will do is it will download. I'm on a PC so it will download to my computer but it also downloads to your drive. So I'll save. And I won't have to worry about it again. I won't have to look for it on my computer because it also went to my drive. So I go back to my slide. So I want to insert the audio so that the receptionist will talk when the students click on it. So let's see we're going to insert audio. And didn't quite, there it is. So there's receptionist. I'm going to select. Now, as you can see, it comes up as a little volume icon right here. And that's a fun. That's fine if you want to leave it there. Your students can click on the play and listen to it. And that's fine. But what I like to do is I like to go ahead and hide it behind the picture so that the students will click on the image and then here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to move this right over here on top of her. And don't worry, we're going to fix this. And again, it doesn't really matter what it looks like, but I really want to try to make it so that it's about the same size as the image so that if the students click anywhere, then it will play. Now, of course, I'm not going to leave it like this. So I'm going to right click and then I'm going to order it to the back. So I'm going to change the order and I'm going to send it to the back. And then it's in the back. So you can kind of see it a little bit. Not too badly, though. Nothing, you know, too, too bad. I can always move my, you know, I can manipulate it a little bit. So, you know, you really can't see it that badly. And what I want to do is now I want to group this in case the students click on it and move, then it's going to move because it's still back there. You can still see it. And so then what I want to do is I'm going to click outside of both images and see how it creates both of them at the same time. I'm going to come up here to arrange and then I'm going to group. So now when I click off of it, if I move this, both images move at the same time. Okay, so if I go ahead and present my students are going to practice now. I click on the receptionist. Sorry, you can't hear that. And then the students would know I would like a student ID card or, you know, whatever it is that you would like them to practice. And this could be a restaurant. You'd say, Hi, welcome to McDonald's. How can I help you? And the students would say, I would like a number one, please, you know, whatever it is that you're trying to have them practice. That would be a good way to do this. Sorry about that audio to hear her to hear the receptionist thing it was, Hi, welcome. How can I help you? And then the students would listen and practice that. Okay. So let's practice. Okay, so there's there's a couple of moving parts here that you're going to need to do. You're going to open up a new tab. And you're going to type in bit Lee screen castify slides practice number two with the number two bit Lee screen castify slides with an s practice number two. You're going to insert an image. Choose the image. Record your screen cast. So there's a whole bunch of different moving parts here. So let's go ahead and we'll walk through it together. So I'm going to open up a new tab bit Lee forward slash screen castify. Let's cast of castify slides practice to enter. Okay. And you should see that there are lots and lots of empty slides choose one. Anyone you like. I'm going to come down here. I'll go to number 13. And I'm going to insert image from the web. Insert image from the web. I'm going to type whatever image I want. So maybe I'm going to type in dog. Oh, little doggies. Oh, I'll choose the one with the money. Choose the picture that you would like and hit insert click on insert. I'm going to resize this. If you want to change the layout if you don't like this layout, go to slide. Apply layout, and then you can choose whichever one you can make a blank one. There's blank one on the bottom. There's caption on the bottom there's caption on the top, whichever one you choose. Usually tend to like this one or blank is fine. So now you're going to do your screen cast. It doesn't matter what this looks like because nobody's going to see it. So go ahead and make your screen cast whatever sentence or whatever it is you want your students to hear. After you are finished. You're going to insert audio. And then find your audio in your drive. There was my receptionist one. I could do that one again. They will give you some options here. Do you want the audio to start on click? Do you want it to start automatically? Do you want it to loop? Stop when you change slides. So you have some options here also. This is Google slide options. You want defaults to some place on the slide. If you like it there, that's okay. If you want to do what I did and put it behind the image, you're going to move it on top of the image and resize it to about the same size as your image. So my audio is approximately the same size as my picture of the dog. I'm going to right click, order, send it to the back. So let's do that again. Right click on your image, click on your audio, right click, order to the back. So you can still see I have my audio here but it's behind my doggy picture. So I still have two. Here's my audio. Here's my dog. They're two separate files. What I like to do is I like to group them because I want to make sure when the students click and if they're in this, if they're not in presentation mode, they might click this and then it's moving and then they do, you know, it just kind of moves all this stuff and I don't really like that. So I'm going to click off of the picture and the audio and I'm going to group them together. It doesn't have to be fancy. And what that does is it groups both of them together, go to arrange up at the top, arrange and group. So now when I move, I've got both. If you made a mistake, if you notice that something's wrong, you don't really like it, you can always go back and arrange and ungroup. And then you'll have two separate ones again. So let's try that again. So my audio is behind my dog. I select off of there. I select both. It's really important that you don't hear outside of both images. So it groups it together, arrange, group, and now I can move it wherever I want. If I present, then the students, oops. Okay, sorry. When I did my audio, I set it to private. That was the other thing. So again, remember, every time you do your audios, that you set it on public or unlist so that you can keep using it. You can make the sound. So I actually made my own mistake. So I can see we can all see each other. This is a collaborative slide. So somebody used the same image I did. Nice. Oh, kitty cat. So I'm hoping that this will help you to kind of start thinking like, like the box is now open and you're like, oh my gosh, I can use it for this and I can use it for that and it's going to be so cool because now I can do this. That's what this whole session is about is really just to open up your eyes to see. Yeah, this tool is great, but then what more can I do with it. So you can do the same concept with forms with I made a listening test, because that's one of the big things now is just trying to make like tests using forms, but you can't really, you can insert like an audio file. So you have to save it to YouTube. Okay, so with forms Google forms it is possible. It's very advanced. I mean there's a lot of parts, and you have to have a YouTube count you know there's a lot of things that go with that. But, but if you can if you can work with it, it's worth it. So make your screencast publish it to YouTube and then went your in forms. Okay, once you're in forms, then you're going to insert it. So here's Hi, welcome. How can I help you. And then what is the correct answer. I'm fine. Thank you. I would like a student ID please. Yeah, so the students listen to the question then they have to choose what which would be a good answer. So I know that your brains are just going crazy that the wheels are spinning I could tell, because this is how I would be if I was watching this right now my wheels would be spinning on all the things that I could do with listening and Google slides so you can see it is a YouTube video. It is a YouTube video. So you have to have a an account and also this right here I just wrote listening test, you know, question one. It's not a very good title. Be mindful of how you title your videos when you save them to YouTube, because it will show up so you might, you know, change this to be more appropriate for your students. Question about the settings for public or unlisted is that in Google or in Screencastify. It's in Screencastify. So let me go to Screencastify. Let me go to one of my recordings. So once you're done with the screencast, then you come here to more options. So this month see how my defaults to private. I want to change it to either public or unlisted I usually for for this purposes I usually try to go public, and I thought I went through all of my videos to do it because I forgot and so I had to check all my videos again but I think with public for me. It just doesn't matter that if anybody watches that I'm just excited if anybody wants to watch them there, you know there's nothing personal in them or anything so. You know, if you have some issues that you just want, you only want people who have the link to view it then you definitely should choose that. So okay here's here's the audio question I found the audio but have no idea how to attach it it doesn't look like the image you had it's a bar. Oh, it might be because maybe it got minimized too small it maybe look like a try to grab one of the corners of just try to grab it and if you see two diagonal arrows, then drag your drag your mouse away and see if that makes it a bigger image. It may just have shrank down, it may have resized by accident. There was no corner. You might try double clicking the the icon or the bar that you see as well when you double click that makes magic happen. So you see how my super super tiny right here I mean if I you know if you make it any kind of small I mean just it starts getting kind of crazy. So I just try to look for an arrow that goes both directions and then I try to make it bigger so that now I can manipulate it faster. I don't know if that helps or not. Yeah, sometimes we're playing with it. I had some problems to it depends on my image like it was coming in over here in the corner. Let me see if I could try to I don't know if I could see how it's like I can't really manipulate it because this thing is there. I just had to kind of really play with it and make it as big as I could and then try to move it you know it was kind of it could be kind of difficult sometimes. So sometimes my my play button is covering it so yeah sometimes you just have to work with it.
