[00:00:01.649]
Hello folks and welcome. I'm Stacey

[00:00:04.089]
Knibloe Gale trainer for New Mexico. Glad

[00:00:06.488]
to be with you for our support beginner

[00:00:08.589]
research skills uh with Gale

[00:00:10.788]
in context elementary. So

[00:00:13.169]
with this session, what we want to do is

[00:00:15.179]
just provide an overview of the resource to

[00:00:17.269]
start. But then we're really gonna get in there

[00:00:19.388]
and show how you can find content and

[00:00:21.500]
help build up skills in students as they

[00:00:23.559]
start to learn about research

[00:00:25.750]
and learn about the library and all the things

[00:00:27.839]
that come with it

[00:00:29.129]
Um this is a perfect database to do that with.

[00:00:31.379]
We've got a great looking interface, lots of

[00:00:33.429]
great uh reading level appropriate

[00:00:35.500]
content. And um

[00:00:38.200]
Little tools and bells and whistles, bells and whistles

[00:00:40.548]
that they can kind of take with them up through

[00:00:42.700]
into adulthood when they're uh you know, performing

[00:00:45.039]
any sort of research. Uh We'll also

[00:00:47.279]
talk a bit about how you can share content from

[00:00:49.380]
the resource. So if there are particular things

[00:00:51.618]
you want to get younger kids started with

[00:00:54.020]
with their research and you want to point them in exactly

[00:00:56.598]
the direction you want them to go. There are a few different

[00:00:58.740]
ways you can share content in the resource and we want

[00:01:00.759]
to talk about those too

[00:01:02.209]
and then as always with our sessions we'll wrap

[00:01:04.230]
up with uh support where

[00:01:06.620]
you can go at gale, both kind

[00:01:08.638]
of on demand but also when you want to talk to someone

[00:01:11.388]
uh we have a lot of support out there

[00:01:13.469]
for you to take advantage of. So we'll

[00:01:15.558]
talk about that as well as

[00:01:17.689]
we go through. Jump in with questions any time.

[00:01:20.370]
Uh If you see something on the screen you want to know more

[00:01:22.430]
about. Or want me to click. I'm happy to do that.

[00:01:24.900]
Uh just jump in at any point.

[00:01:27.668]
So let's go ahead and

[00:01:29.948]
dive in here.

[00:01:31.969]
so again just an overview of the resource.

[00:01:34.459]
Just a little more pressure maybe you haven't used it in a while

[00:01:37.769]
Gale and in context. Elementary.

[00:01:40.168]
Um some of you may know it as kids

[00:01:42.299]
info bits. We had a name and interface

[00:01:44.319]
change a couple of years ago and

[00:01:46.120]
I will admit I still tend to call it kids

[00:01:48.349]
info bits here and there but uh it's official

[00:01:50.629]
name Gale In Context: Elementary to kind

[00:01:52.638]
of identify its main audience. Um

[00:01:55.230]
But really if the reading level

[00:01:57.329]
is what you need, of course any user can

[00:01:59.489]
go into this resource. Um it

[00:02:01.629]
is uh

[00:02:02.980]
gonna be the reading level that's really

[00:02:05.069]
the most important for your user. So

[00:02:07.980]
what you'll find in this content or

[00:02:10.099]
or within this resource is content aimed

[00:02:12.558]
at curriculum within an elementary

[00:02:15.088]
uh grade range. You know what's

[00:02:17.129]
being studied in the classroom?

[00:02:19.580]
and then uh supporting that are a variety

[00:02:21.960]
of different sources. So uh reference

[00:02:24.740]
books, magazines, multimedia

[00:02:27.419]
all in one place, lots of

[00:02:29.500]
different subject areas covered here.

[00:02:31.629]
Um Again, looking at what's studied in curriculum,

[00:02:34.058]
but then additional, you know, content as

[00:02:36.149]
well, things to help students, you know, learn

[00:02:38.338]
about social media, learn about technology

[00:02:40.558]
and the like. So uh lots of good

[00:02:42.740]
stuff here.

[00:02:44.288]
and it is let me advance

[00:02:46.308]
my slide here. There we go. Oh, I'm always ahead

[00:02:48.449]
of the slide. So again, supporting curriculum standards

[00:02:51.189]
as you can imagine a lot of research in this database

[00:02:53.469]
done on animals. Uh we'll find lots of

[00:02:55.528]
great content there, but again it's gonna hit

[00:02:57.538]
every major curriculum area as well

[00:03:00.270]
and then and lots of tools to help

[00:03:02.659]
them kind of narrow topics find

[00:03:04.758]
answers to questions and just

[00:03:06.830]
explore the things they're interested in

[00:03:09.008]
and again kind of building up those research

[00:03:11.229]
skills, their information literacy skills

[00:03:13.270]
and kind of these subtle ways and all the different tools

[00:03:15.278]
that you have in the resource as well.

[00:03:17.278]
So we're gonna spend really most of our time

[00:03:19.508]
right in the resource. So let's go

[00:03:21.528]
ahead and dive into the live database.

[00:03:25.360]
and I've already got us logged in here to

[00:03:27.368]
get started,

[00:03:29.028]
So the home page for Gale and context elementary

[00:03:31.508]
really does

[00:03:32.729]
encourage kids kind of natural curiosity.

[00:03:35.520]
There is always a search but

[00:03:37.669]
we like to encourage kids to

[00:03:39.750]
have a look around. So there are

[00:03:42.330]
uh we're gonna actually spend a little more time here back on the

[00:03:44.349]
topics page, so I'm gonna go to the rest of the tabs

[00:03:46.528]
here first

[00:03:47.659]
there are highlighted

[00:03:49.778]
con uh bits of highlighted content from

[00:03:52.159]
some of your eBook collection, whatever's reading

[00:03:54.449]
level appropriate, will show up here. So

[00:03:56.770]
coming from Gale eBooks, you have a nice

[00:03:58.979]
collection from the state library

[00:04:01.038]
aimed at those reading levels so we can

[00:04:03.129]
kind of browse the books that are here.

[00:04:06.028]
and this um collection has been

[00:04:08.088]
pumped up a bit this year, some new titles

[00:04:10.229]
were added. We actually offered a webinar

[00:04:12.330]
on those sessions um a couple

[00:04:14.399]
weeks ago uh when uh

[00:04:16.670]
you received the follow up email from

[00:04:18.850]
this session, I'll put a link to that session

[00:04:20.910]
as well in case you want to explore the recording for that

[00:04:23.850]
so just kind of piking their interest with any

[00:04:25.949]
of these books and if we go ahead and say jump into

[00:04:28.048]
one.

[00:04:29.649]
you're uh able to browse the eBook

[00:04:31.988]
like it's you know sitting in front of you on

[00:04:34.108]
the table you can just

[00:04:36.170]
use the uh the next page

[00:04:38.209]
or if I want a mobile device or any sort

[00:04:40.298]
of touch screen, I'd be able to swipe to get through

[00:04:42.548]
it, you can zoom in and out,

[00:04:44.709]
You've got our text to speech tool here,

[00:04:47.290]
you know, some really handy uh ways to explore

[00:04:49.639]
the content

[00:04:52.548]
you can also browse through

[00:04:54.569]
uh some highlighted news articles coming

[00:04:56.809]
from um our kind of kid themed

[00:04:59.230]
or kid aimed newspaper sources

[00:05:03.250]
Hand pulled some images here to browse

[00:05:05.649]
around again just kind of peeking

[00:05:07.670]
interest here

[00:05:09.250]
on a bit of a bug kick. So I'll go ahead and grab this.

[00:05:11.428]
Uh harvest and image.

[00:05:15.319]
You can do the same for video content.

[00:05:19.350]
and the video content has really grown over

[00:05:21.600]
the last year we had a lot of great stem

[00:05:23.928]
topics but now we're working with some other providers

[00:05:26.199]
to bring in another video content. So

[00:05:28.689]
an eye out for that as well. But again just kind of building

[00:05:31.009]
their on their natural curiosity,

[00:05:34.778]
the home page though that you land

[00:05:36.959]
on is gonna be this topics tab

[00:05:39.100]
and this I think is always a great

[00:05:41.420]
tool when students are starting

[00:05:43.660]
to learn about research, maybe they're picking a topic.

[00:05:46.139]
I imagine a lot of times an animal

[00:05:48.358]
report is the first thing they're gonna do.

[00:05:50.449]
Or maybe a state report, something like

[00:05:52.548]
that.

[00:05:53.420]
on the home page. What we've done

[00:05:55.600]
is just kind of started to organize

[00:05:58.019]
some of the coverage of the database by

[00:06:00.238]
subject area. And I say that because

[00:06:02.928]
our In Context databases are

[00:06:05.028]
built in kind of this portal

[00:06:07.329]
format where we take a topic

[00:06:09.629]
and dedicate a whole home page to

[00:06:11.639]
it. And that's really what you're gonna browse

[00:06:13.959]
as you work with these topic pages or topic

[00:06:16.298]
tree. We often call it as well.

[00:06:18.449]
And it's a great starter for ST students

[00:06:20.838]
to kind of learn about how information

[00:06:22.850]
gets organized. So we don't

[00:06:25.119]
just kind of throw everything up on the shelves

[00:06:27.410]
of willy nilly right. We don't we do the same

[00:06:29.569]
thing in our databases, we start breaking

[00:06:31.750]
them down by category. So if we choose something

[00:06:33.970]
like animals

[00:06:35.559]
We start narrowing down. So again,

[00:06:37.759]
we don't just go to a list of animals. We start

[00:06:40.160]
choosing well do we want reptiles? Do we

[00:06:42.170]
want birds? Do we want dinosaurs, mammals.

[00:06:44.838]
And you kind of take on these big topics and

[00:06:46.939]
start narrowing them down

[00:06:48.879]
and then you'll get to a list.

[00:06:50.939]
So this is especially handy when kids maybe

[00:06:53.209]
have a choice in what they're doing a report

[00:06:55.220]
on. So they can go through these pages.

[00:06:57.459]
They've all got pictures. So you get that kind

[00:06:59.480]
of visual cue of what you're looking

[00:07:01.540]
for. Especially handy for kids who may

[00:07:03.569]
struggle with reading

[00:07:05.569]
or any students where maybe English isn't their

[00:07:07.608]
first language. Uh you've got that

[00:07:09.750]
option as well to uh have those

[00:07:11.970]
those pictures to kind of zero in

[00:07:14.639]
and then once you select

[00:07:17.160]
You land on this dedicated home

[00:07:19.220]
page. So this is the giraffe section of

[00:07:21.278]
the database. The same way we might have a little giraffe

[00:07:23.459]
section on the shelves. So you

[00:07:25.629]
line up with everything we've got for

[00:07:27.660]
giraffes here and we start out with

[00:07:29.988]
some quick facts. So giraffes have long

[00:07:32.278]
nets, they are very tall, they eat plants,

[00:07:34.399]
we get these facts right off the bat

[00:07:36.639]
and then a few extra ones here in our quick facts

[00:07:39.119]
line.

[00:07:41.088]
and then all the different pieces and

[00:07:43.149]
a page layout like this where we're identifying.

[00:07:45.759]
Well these are book articles, these are magazine

[00:07:47.850]
articles, these are news articles,

[00:07:49.750]
you're building up kind of learning about different

[00:07:52.350]
types of media, you know different

[00:07:54.689]
ways we're kind of gathering information and

[00:07:56.699]
what different sources of types are out there.

[00:07:58.750]
So we start building their knowledge around that.

[00:08:00.980]
And so if they've got a report and they have

[00:08:03.149]
to find

[00:08:04.540]
You know two books and they have to find three

[00:08:06.798]
magazines. They're gonna be able to easily

[00:08:09.160]
identify those on the page here.

[00:08:12.000]
As well as of course the multimedia sources

[00:08:14.100]
too. So pictures related topics

[00:08:16.608]
and videos. If there were any we just all

[00:08:18.720]
see it gathered here on this kind of home page

[00:08:21.869]
and you can start here. So

[00:08:23.879]
let's say I'm gonna go back actually to the home page

[00:08:26.660]
I mentioned I'm gonna kind of blend in

[00:08:28.850]
everything all at once. So I'm gonna about to talk about how

[00:08:30.980]
you can share out content with students.

[00:08:33.090]
So let's say they have to do a state report

[00:08:35.538]
if I go ahead and go through geography.

[00:08:38.024]
I can then again start breaking this down

[00:08:40.325]
so we're talking about you know different land

[00:08:42.724]
formations, we've got some of that but then we've

[00:08:44.894]
got the way that geography is made

[00:08:46.904]
out around the globe. So say if we go into U. S.

[00:08:49.075]
States again we just get these lists.

[00:08:51.724]
So state capital is showing here

[00:08:55.048]
well grab New Mexico

[00:08:58.369]
and say I know all of my

[00:09:01.090]
say third graders are gonna

[00:09:03.288]
be studying

[00:09:05.489]
and do I have to do a report on new Mexico.

[00:09:08.590]
I want them to land here rather than

[00:09:10.649]
coming into the database

[00:09:12.739]
and searching or going through the browse

[00:09:14.879]
tool. I just want to put them right here.

[00:09:17.149]
the way you can do that is

[00:09:19.369]
to take advantage of our get link

[00:09:22.048]
tool. Get link is gonna

[00:09:24.308]
appear in this toolbar that

[00:09:26.340]
goes across the top of the database

[00:09:29.038]
and you'll see it on most pages. What

[00:09:31.090]
it's gonna give you is a persistent

[00:09:33.129]
U. R. L. Or pearl

[00:09:35.440]
that you can then place wherever

[00:09:37.489]
you would normally put A U. R. L. So link it

[00:09:39.538]
on your library's website a teacher could

[00:09:41.580]
put it on their web page. Or if you have a learning

[00:09:43.739]
management system you could post the link

[00:09:45.788]
there, you can put it

[00:09:48.369]
in an email again wherever A

[00:09:50.379]
U. R. L. Would go.

[00:09:51.889]
And what's great about it is when kids

[00:09:54.048]
click on it, they land right here, they

[00:09:56.149]
kind of jump over those other um

[00:09:58.619]
you know longer paths to get to this

[00:10:00.690]
content and they're there with your shortcut just

[00:10:02.840]
like this. So

[00:10:04.129]
It's a great way to draw them into

[00:10:06.139]
the library resources. It's a great way

[00:10:08.288]
for you to push content out. So

[00:10:10.509]
let's say you're at the public library and you know

[00:10:12.690]
that this is what's happening in fourth grade.

[00:10:14.779]
You could put it there, you could share

[00:10:16.960]
it on your uh web page

[00:10:19.058]
to kind of push out to parents or even into

[00:10:21.369]
a newsletter that you're sending out

[00:10:23.658]
in school libraries. You could push this out,

[00:10:26.058]
you know, to your teachers in fourth grade

[00:10:28.080]
to let them know the library has this great resource.

[00:10:30.320]
So get link is really powerful.

[00:10:32.759]
It's a great way for you to draw folks in

[00:10:34.820]
to your library provided resources

[00:10:38.359]
So we're gonna talk about some other ways but get link

[00:10:40.450]
is probably the simplest.

[00:10:42.580]
It just gives you U. R. L. That you can then take anywhere

[00:10:45.808]
Not that the others are that difficult but

[00:10:47.849]
um the U. R. L. It's kind of universal.

[00:10:49.859]
Right? So All

[00:10:51.918]
right, let's take a look. We're gonna now

[00:10:54.158]
use the search tool or actually, you know

[00:10:56.190]
what? Let me show you around the topic trees a bit more.

[00:10:58.259]
I want to uh talk about some of the newer

[00:11:00.440]
content and uh recently updated

[00:11:02.529]
content. So, we're never done with

[00:11:04.690]
our databases. We're always continuing

[00:11:06.719]
to work on them. And we listen to feedback.

[00:11:08.940]
We get from our libraries from

[00:11:11.219]
our school libraries,

[00:11:13.408]
our teachers and fill

[00:11:15.580]
in what's needed. We're also

[00:11:17.759]
been undergoing and looking, doing a biased

[00:11:19.989]
review of our content and that'll be ongoing as

[00:11:22.099]
well. So did things need rewriting?

[00:11:25.048]
Um we're working with different groups to kind of advise

[00:11:27.139]
us on those things. So there's been a lot of work going

[00:11:29.158]
on in the resources um as

[00:11:31.308]
there always is, but um been some special

[00:11:33.538]
attention. So I wanted to point out under the people

[00:11:35.599]
section.

[00:11:36.639]
and you'll find some of this under the history as well.

[00:11:39.668]
We have uh bumped up our coverage

[00:11:41.840]
of Native Americans. So this is and

[00:11:44.019]
there have been a few other areas we focused on too.

[00:11:46.029]
But this is just um

[00:11:48.190]
I wanted to highlight here. It kind of goes

[00:11:50.320]
along with some of the new content in your

[00:11:52.690]
in your new eBooks from this year.

[00:11:54.750]
So we've built up this list as

[00:11:56.840]
well. We've also done

[00:11:59.038]
some work to round out jump

[00:12:01.570]
back.

[00:12:03.548]
coverage for kind of English

[00:12:05.788]
classes. Um we're gonna have,

[00:12:08.129]
you know, of course, still the study of literature. But

[00:12:10.219]
if we jump to say reading writing and language, there's

[00:12:12.369]
a lot of great content to go along with

[00:12:14.529]
other things we may talk about when we're when

[00:12:16.668]
we're, you know, looking at E. L. A. So,

[00:12:19.139]
you know, different.

[00:12:20.908]
uh topics. But some of these, I wanted to

[00:12:22.950]
point out because they'd be really handy in terms

[00:12:25.259]
of building research skills. So here

[00:12:27.489]
on our main idea. We talk

[00:12:29.548]
about what a main idea is

[00:12:31.690]
and you know the way it plays a role

[00:12:33.908]
in text.

[00:12:35.389]
The other thing that's good to look out

[00:12:37.428]
for is when you are

[00:12:40.808]
uh looking at your book, articles

[00:12:42.889]
or biographies.

[00:12:44.769]
You might notice a lot of articles

[00:12:46.859]
like this where it's the same title. It's

[00:12:48.889]
the same source. It's the same copyright.

[00:12:51.250]
What's different is the content

[00:12:53.590]
level indicator. There's a box next to

[00:12:55.609]
it. Level one and level two here just with those

[00:12:57.719]
dots,

[00:12:59.320]
Those are our two uh content

[00:13:01.879]
levels for elementary kind of level reading

[00:13:04.178]
level one is gonna be kind of K through

[00:13:06.219]
two and level two is gonna be grades

[00:13:08.298]
three through five, you know, kind of broad strokes.

[00:13:10.788]
What we've done is level

[00:13:12.859]
this article, we've taken it and

[00:13:14.979]
rewritten it at two different reading levels.

[00:13:17.889]
So this is handy for reading level differentiation

[00:13:20.719]
when you need it in the classroom or in the library.

[00:13:23.489]
Um you can kind of point the students to the ones you

[00:13:25.538]
think fit. If we take a look at say the level one

[00:13:29.389]
We start out right away with the words to no

[00:13:31.529]
glossary. So I don't have to look

[00:13:33.599]
up a definition. It's gonna be right here in the database

[00:13:36.009]
for me.

[00:13:37.070]
And you can see we've got short sentences, short

[00:13:39.190]
paragraphs

[00:13:40.739]
and when you're in an article that's been leveled,

[00:13:43.369]
you're gonna have the option to

[00:13:46.989]
Switch between the two. They're always linked

[00:13:49.149]
together

[00:13:50.229]
so I can switch over to the level two

[00:13:52.849]
and here's the same article just written at a slightly

[00:13:55.210]
higher level. So rather than starting with the glossary,

[00:13:57.519]
we start out with a few ideas

[00:13:59.750]
we can see the paragraphs are a little longer

[00:14:01.979]
here

[00:14:03.019]
or we're still talking about the same thing.

[00:14:05.389]
So you're gonna see that throughout the resource

[00:14:08.009]
and really and most of the Gale

[00:14:10.048]
and context databases. So that

[00:14:12.399]
leveled content is another thing we've

[00:14:14.450]
been working on and because we're our own

[00:14:16.590]
publisher at Gale we can do that.

[00:14:18.830]
So that's why you'll see it. I'm just gonna jump

[00:14:20.849]
back out to that

[00:14:22.139]
main page again, that's why you're

[00:14:24.168]
gonna see it with book articles and biographies,

[00:14:26.399]
because that's what we write at. Yale, we write reference content

[00:14:28.820]
so we can't take an article from, say, scholastic

[00:14:31.428]
news and rewrite it ourselves.

[00:14:33.538]
Right, So you're just gonna see it under book articles

[00:14:35.899]
and uh

[00:14:37.538]
and biographies.

[00:14:39.969]
All right, let me pause here see if anything's come into

[00:14:42.149]
the chat or the Q. And A.

[00:14:45.649]
No, we're in good shape. Alrighty. So let's

[00:14:47.899]
go ahead. And now I do want to uh dive in with the

[00:14:49.940]
search because when students already know what they're

[00:14:52.029]
doing their research project on, they

[00:14:54.038]
can of course dive in with the search

[00:14:57.090]
So let's say they're working on the rock cycle.

[00:15:00.548]
and again, whenever we've got a dedicated

[00:15:02.750]
page like this, a topic page we're gonna

[00:15:04.859]
land right on and I'll show you another search later

[00:15:07.019]
where that doesn't happen. So you can get a uh

[00:15:08.918]
look at that format as well. But

[00:15:11.729]
again, nice layout here. We start out with

[00:15:13.849]
some information,

[00:15:16.058]
And again, break down the content by the types

[00:15:18.340]
of sources it's coming from.

[00:15:20.149]
And I did want to share some video

[00:15:22.219]
content. You have

[00:15:24.298]
um always a broadcast transcript

[00:15:26.619]
to go along with the video.

[00:15:28.558]
But then also the video

[00:15:30.580]
itself

[00:15:31.779]
is gonna have those captioning enabled,

[00:15:34.529]
just gonna jump ahead. So we can get past the opening

[00:15:36.599]
music there.

[00:15:38.869]
rock

[00:15:40.279]
shift. And we have of course

[00:15:42.369]
options for changing that.

[00:15:45.190]
Sorry, I'm just gonna ahead and pause that. So I'm not speaking over

[00:15:47.379]
the video, but these can be a great way to

[00:15:49.418]
introduce the topic. Students can maybe some

[00:15:51.529]
ga gather some key words from,

[00:15:53.619]
you know, the short uh broadcast transcript

[00:15:56.200]
here

[00:15:57.719]
and come up with keywords to search on

[00:16:00.058]
and help build up uh again,

[00:16:02.178]
kind of skills around using

[00:16:04.330]
information sources like this.

[00:16:08.418]
and then you'll also see, I'm gonna just go ahead

[00:16:10.500]
and jump in to say some of our magazine results

[00:16:12.590]
here, move in

[00:16:15.899]
The articles are uh

[00:16:18.190]
gonna be text based although if we

[00:16:20.250]
have the rights to the images for the magazines, those

[00:16:22.479]
will show up here too.

[00:16:24.330]
What's great about though having a text

[00:16:26.658]
based article is you get to take advantage

[00:16:29.029]
of all of the tools that come with that

[00:16:31.298]
text. So things like the text to speech

[00:16:33.379]
tool. So we could have the article read to us

[00:16:35.820]
There's a font size tool here, display

[00:16:38.330]
options, translation

[00:16:40.729]
and then the info button is important, especially

[00:16:43.379]
if we're learning about research skills.

[00:16:46.149]
The info button is gonna give us all the details

[00:16:48.399]
about the articles in the elementary

[00:16:50.940]
database. We like to keep the article display

[00:16:53.219]
as simple as possible. So that's why

[00:16:55.389]
the info button kind of pops open

[00:16:57.658]
these details at the top.

[00:16:59.678]
Um

[00:17:01.009]
It is uh

[00:17:02.918]
you know,

[00:17:03.960]
and I kind of have a cleaner look without

[00:17:06.180]
it. But in our other databases,

[00:17:08.390]
this information is always shown at the top of

[00:17:10.430]
the article but you do have to enable it here in the

[00:17:12.479]
elementary database. But this is the kind of thing we

[00:17:14.509]
tell kids to look for, where is it

[00:17:16.588]
coming from? Who wrote it? When is it coming

[00:17:18.838]
from? And you get those details? So

[00:17:20.979]
when you're in any article just

[00:17:23.039]
jump around here into something else.

[00:17:26.880]
Just a quick click of that info button will

[00:17:28.979]
bring it open and you can uh get

[00:17:31.160]
those details

[00:17:33.088]
now the others. Um Actually let me show you display

[00:17:35.618]
options. This is a bit newer.

[00:17:37.900]
This basically will set the

[00:17:40.039]
article view so what does the text

[00:17:42.088]
look like on the page? We can

[00:17:44.118]
make adjustments based on the needs of

[00:17:46.160]
our of our learner. So I have a nephew

[00:17:48.578]
who um has a processing

[00:17:50.618]
issue and he needs text

[00:17:52.750]
to be on a green or blue background to really comprehend

[00:17:55.229]
it. So there I could set that green

[00:17:57.430]
background for him. I can change

[00:17:59.489]
the font that we're using if you know he

[00:18:01.509]
reads better with something that's got serifs, I can switch

[00:18:03.709]
to Garamond

[00:18:04.890]
or if you've got um students

[00:18:07.289]
with uh dyslexia, I can switch

[00:18:09.549]
to open dyslexic.

[00:18:11.559]
and it's just setting the stage, you can change the spacing

[00:18:14.180]
to make the reading a little easier.

[00:18:19.098]
And when you've done that,

[00:18:21.160]
it sets a cookie on your device. So if

[00:18:23.259]
I go out to another article

[00:18:26.239]
you choose something else here, I'll grab

[00:18:28.809]
uh century, it just

[00:18:30.939]
remembers, and it keeps

[00:18:33.000]
those display options intact.

[00:18:35.358]
So, really handy.

[00:18:38.328]
Now. I'm gonna go ahead and set these back to their defaults

[00:18:42.680]
and I want to share really one of our

[00:18:44.729]
favorite features. Um for

[00:18:46.750]
or at least I should say for students is our citation

[00:18:49.368]
tool. So of course in the research

[00:18:51.509]
pro process, students are gonna have to keep track

[00:18:53.848]
of where they're getting information and then they'll need

[00:18:55.868]
to, you know, include that in their report

[00:18:58.150]
bibliography work, cited, foot notes, whatever

[00:19:00.489]
sort of citation method they're using.

[00:19:03.108]
We've got a site tool, it's gonna be up here

[00:19:05.250]
in the toolbar just you know, near the get

[00:19:07.299]
link. and that's gonna

[00:19:09.489]
give me different citation style options.

[00:19:12.019]
So in elementary school we may not get be

[00:19:14.108]
getting as specific as this you

[00:19:16.209]
know they need to use M. L. A. Ninth edition

[00:19:18.469]
or something like that but it starts them thinking

[00:19:20.549]
on that path. You really need to include

[00:19:22.959]
where you found your info and

[00:19:25.000]
these are all ready to go

[00:19:27.559]
and if you have a tool like noodle

[00:19:29.900]
tools or easy bib or something like that, you can export

[00:19:32.500]
these out but always showing this.

[00:19:34.880]
It will also go with the article.

[00:19:37.239]
So if I print this article out, just

[00:19:39.390]
gives me a nice clean print of the article,

[00:19:43.029]
The citation is always embedded

[00:19:45.039]
at the end of the article. You're always gonna be able to

[00:19:47.229]
know where you got your content

[00:19:50.019]
So

[00:19:52.189]
you've got some other tools here. I just kind of to show

[00:19:54.509]
you the breadth of the database. I want to do a couple

[00:19:56.608]
of searches so you can see some of the content

[00:19:58.618]
areas. So I'm gonna do a quick search here. I mentioned before

[00:20:00.890]
we've got support per se.

[00:20:02.949]
Learning about digital citizenship

[00:20:05.170]
and things like social media and the like

[00:20:07.229]
there's lots of great support here. So

[00:20:09.880]
we have a page dedicated to social media

[00:20:12.779]
and let's say I've got a student who

[00:20:14.848]
is, you know, studying this as

[00:20:16.949]
they're reading through an article. We

[00:20:19.000]
have a feature called highlights and notes.

[00:20:21.729]
So, you know, if I've got a piece of paper in front of me,

[00:20:23.890]
I might go through it with a highlighter marker and make

[00:20:25.910]
notes in the margins. That's essentially

[00:20:27.949]
what I can do here. As I

[00:20:31.539]
I'm reading content if I find something

[00:20:33.680]
I want to use or call out

[00:20:35.739]
in some way I can click and drag as if I'm

[00:20:37.779]
gonna copy it.

[00:20:39.098]
And then the highlights and notes bar pops up

[00:20:41.318]
and I can use different colors. So

[00:20:43.559]
maybe I might be identifying

[00:20:45.910]
my uh, you know, yellow items

[00:20:48.078]
as something. That's a fact. And

[00:20:50.880]
I might identify something that

[00:20:53.199]
is more. And I'm just randomly

[00:20:55.250]
selecting something here. So don't hold me to

[00:20:57.390]
this because say I'm gonna use green for things that are

[00:20:59.578]
opinion.

[00:21:00.890]
so I can make little notes here.

[00:21:03.380]
and can do that throughout my time in

[00:21:05.439]
the resource. I can go into another

[00:21:07.529]
article. Let me just grab something

[00:21:09.719]
here.

[00:21:12.500]
Oh looks like this was probably looks like we might

[00:21:14.568]
be missing the image, grab something.

[00:21:18.739]
we can again

[00:21:20.818]
just kind of keep Mac

[00:21:22.759]
marking up the articles as

[00:21:25.059]
you go through and as you're doing this

[00:21:27.140]
it's keeping track of everything

[00:21:29.289]
in the background

[00:21:31.309]
ok. That we're marking up

[00:21:34.039]
and as you come across something

[00:21:39.588]
You wanna make sure to grab it

[00:21:41.750]
Ok because

[00:21:43.739]
the next time you log in these

[00:21:46.140]
will have been cleared out. Our highlights

[00:21:48.390]
and notes are good for the user's current

[00:21:51.029]
session only

[00:21:52.848]
meaning that we are not tracking

[00:21:55.209]
users past their session. We clear out your

[00:21:57.368]
search history, we start a new

[00:21:59.519]
session every time when you log

[00:22:01.640]
in we don't really know

[00:22:04.160]
that I'm me doing this, it doesn't

[00:22:06.469]
really know that this is Stacey doing it.

[00:22:09.170]
So I need to take all this

[00:22:11.390]
with me before I go and I can

[00:22:13.420]
do that a couple ways I mentioned the print.

[00:22:16.229]
Print will bring my highlights and notes. It's

[00:22:18.410]
gonna highlight the text

[00:22:20.500]
and the print out. And then at the bottom it

[00:22:22.598]
reprints the highlighted passages and

[00:22:24.650]
shows your note.

[00:22:26.500]
ok? You can also

[00:22:29.279]
Use it from highlights and notes up in

[00:22:31.299]
the corner here. You can see I just have

[00:22:33.559]
one for this article but then it gives me the

[00:22:35.588]
option of viewing all highlights and notes

[00:22:38.318]
and we can see the other highlights and notes

[00:22:40.459]
I've created through those three other articles.

[00:22:43.130]
And if this is all I need, if I just want my

[00:22:45.269]
highlights and notes, I can print this,

[00:22:47.459]
I can send two

[00:22:49.489]
which is gonna send it over to google drive

[00:22:51.759]
for me or one drive or email,

[00:22:54.459]
And this is a really handy feature. It's

[00:22:56.588]
a great way to kind of keep track of all your research

[00:22:58.979]
in the cloud if you are a google

[00:23:01.160]
or Microsoft user

[00:23:03.920]
and send all your research to one place.

[00:23:06.400]
Let me show you what. Oops. Didn't quite

[00:23:08.608]
finish typing the U. R. L. There.

[00:23:13.519]
You can find it in a data

[00:23:15.818]
error in a folder named after the database you

[00:23:17.910]
were using. So Gale and context elementary.

[00:23:20.880]
There is my highlighted articles

[00:23:23.170]
that I just sent over.

[00:23:27.650]
and there they are.

[00:23:29.209]
And notice how there are links. These are hyperlinks

[00:23:31.608]
to get back into the full article. If I need

[00:23:33.689]
that, I can also send

[00:23:35.729]
the full article over if I go back into

[00:23:37.910]
another one.

[00:23:40.239]
OK, we have the send to option

[00:23:42.618]
here too. So I can send the whole article

[00:23:44.630]
over if that's what I want.

[00:23:46.519]
And again, it's gonna land in a folder

[00:23:48.779]
named after what you're using. So here

[00:23:51.019]
in my Gale and context elementary,

[00:23:53.598]
Here's the whole article. If uh

[00:23:56.059]
let me catch up with me here,

[00:23:57.809]
it'll be the whole article. It will be if we have

[00:23:59.900]
the rights to the images. It'll come over too.

[00:24:02.059]
It'll have the citation in it. It's

[00:24:04.430]
all gonna be there.

[00:24:06.400]
it's like it's taken a minute to load

[00:24:09.500]
well, while it's working on that,

[00:24:11.380]
once the articles are here,

[00:24:14.189]
it's mine to do with what I like.

[00:24:16.279]
So I can take this article, these highlights

[00:24:18.769]
and move it to a folder.

[00:24:20.939]
You know, maybe create a new one for my research

[00:24:23.380]
topic.

[00:24:27.900]
and

[00:24:31.059]
It moves it over there. I can

[00:24:33.358]
go ahead and move this one too.

[00:24:38.608]
right. And then that's where they live. Once it's

[00:24:40.759]
here it's mine to do with what I like. So as

[00:24:42.838]
a student, I can keep this organized

[00:24:45.170]
by my different projects or my classrooms.

[00:24:48.699]
It's just going to, oh might

[00:24:50.779]
be at the bottom here. Where's my newest

[00:24:52.858]
folder?

[00:24:54.239]
Oh I might need to refresh.

[00:25:02.608]
Oh, oh maybe I I'm sorry, I might

[00:25:04.618]
have put it somewhere else. I thought it was on the home page.

[00:25:06.818]
Well I'll have you trust me to

[00:25:08.910]
go with that folder I created but looks

[00:25:11.118]
like it's lost in my folder structure there. But

[00:25:13.608]
it's a great way again to keep track of your

[00:25:15.618]
research and make sure you have access to it any

[00:25:17.650]
time. But again with

[00:25:19.660]
highlights and notes you've got

[00:25:21.670]
to grab it somehow. The

[00:25:23.709]
articles are gonna blank

[00:25:26.140]
out again when you leave the database. We

[00:25:28.269]
just clear everything out. So good

[00:25:30.719]
thing to keep in mind

[00:25:32.509]
Right? So there are other

[00:25:34.578]
ways you can share content too. If

[00:25:36.890]
I go back, let me go ahead and grab uh Actually

[00:25:39.299]
let's browse some more. We've gone into

[00:25:41.358]
a few subject areas actually I'll use animals because

[00:25:43.608]
again, lots of searches

[00:25:45.789]
here, so we'll go ahead and grab another one of these.

[00:25:49.309]
Thanks

[00:25:50.939]
You can also take

[00:25:53.180]
advantage say we're gonna Eagles

[00:25:55.269]
research

[00:25:56.390]
of sharing content

[00:25:58.709]
via google classroom if

[00:26:00.858]
you are a google classroom user, this

[00:26:03.130]
icon may look familiar if you are

[00:26:05.358]
basically what it does is take

[00:26:07.390]
that get link

[00:26:09.969]
and embed it in a classroom

[00:26:12.219]
item so you just choose where you want

[00:26:14.479]
this to go,

[00:26:16.088]
make it an assignment. And these will be familiar options

[00:26:18.719]
if you use google classroom

[00:26:20.930]
and then I'm gonna give a very brief

[00:26:23.519]
uh bit of instruction here. It's embedded.

[00:26:26.598]
The link to this Eagles

[00:26:28.660]
page

[00:26:30.910]
and just can confirm that it went through

[00:26:33.209]
and it takes a minute for it to pop up here. I'm always

[00:26:35.459]
impatient. So I'm gonna go right to the classroom

[00:26:37.989]
so we can see it embedded there and then with

[00:26:40.029]
a click your students land right where

[00:26:42.088]
you want them to.

[00:26:43.848]
So great way again to get

[00:26:45.920]
them into library resources.

[00:26:50.088]
So All right, I'm gonna pop back. I'm gonna close out

[00:26:52.189]
some of these windows. I've got a lot

[00:26:54.299]
of them open

[00:26:55.848]
Alrighty

[00:26:57.858]
So let me check the chat. We're gonna go ahead and start

[00:26:59.939]
wrapping up here and I'm gonna check

[00:27:02.259]
my notes. I think I've covered

[00:27:04.390]
everything I wanted to.

[00:27:07.750]
in good shape. So,

[00:27:11.890]
that was a look at how you can kind

[00:27:14.029]
of spark research skills and help grow

[00:27:16.088]
research skills and Gale in context. Elementary

[00:27:18.959]
just a quick recap of the different

[00:27:21.088]
ways you can share content. So get link

[00:27:23.189]
is again kind of the most universal

[00:27:25.299]
to U. R. You can put it wherever you need

[00:27:27.568]
it. send to google drive

[00:27:29.868]
and Microsoft one drive. Especially

[00:27:32.150]
because they are often in everybody's workflow

[00:27:34.588]
already. They're using them for one reason

[00:27:36.809]
or another, whether it be personal

[00:27:38.930]
or school or work related. A lot

[00:27:41.219]
of these are familiar tools and folks already

[00:27:43.358]
are comfortable, can just send our content

[00:27:45.640]
there and continue to work with it.

[00:27:47.838]
And then of course google co uh classroom

[00:27:50.420]
is linked right in our resources, but you can

[00:27:52.449]
actually import content into other learning

[00:27:54.509]
management systems like canvas and

[00:27:56.719]
and school if you're in a school setting.

[00:27:59.108]
Uh blackboard, you know, tends to be more

[00:28:01.219]
academic, we can work with that. There are,

[00:28:03.358]
you know, lots of these out there that that we can work

[00:28:05.469]
with and pull the content into so you can get it into people's

[00:28:07.789]
hands easily.

[00:28:09.939]
so when questions should come up

[00:28:11.959]
you can feel free to reach out to your Gale team.

[00:28:14.180]
We've got lots of great on demand, Support

[00:28:16.459]
for our resources out at support dot Gale

[00:28:18.598]
dot com slash n. M. When

[00:28:20.838]
you get to that page, it will prompt you to choose

[00:28:22.979]
your library from the list and then we customize

[00:28:25.699]
the support site to your library. So

[00:28:28.160]
you will get support from wherever you have

[00:28:30.180]
from gale. Uh which is really nice.

[00:28:32.219]
We have over 100 databases, so this would just

[00:28:34.400]
pair down to the ones that that you actually have

[00:28:36.509]
in your collection.

[00:28:37.890]
and I've just linked a bunch of um listed

[00:28:40.279]
a bunch of the Gale and context elementary

[00:28:42.449]
uh support we have but there's much more than

[00:28:44.529]
this, we have training uh decks

[00:28:46.930]
that you can use if you're gonna go out and maybe

[00:28:49.660]
spread the word about this resource, we've got

[00:28:51.729]
a presentation that you can just customize to suit

[00:28:53.799]
your needs and you're off and running.

[00:28:55.719]
We have tip sheets, we have recorded sessions

[00:28:58.279]
and we've got lots of great free marketing materials

[00:29:00.578]
that you can use um and share

[00:29:03.000]
uh the or spread the word about these

[00:29:05.160]
resources. So lots

[00:29:07.299]
of good stuff out there, no need to recreate

[00:29:09.318]
the wheel. We've got a lot of good stuff going there.

[00:29:11.858]
but then of course when you want to talk to a person

[00:29:14.338]
you can feel free to reach out to your team at gale. Again

[00:29:16.640]
I'm your trainer, you'll get a follow up

[00:29:18.660]
email from me, feel free to email me or give

[00:29:20.699]
me a call any time. Uh Our tech

[00:29:23.000]
support is available, they're at the 800

[00:29:25.289]
number, you can also email them

[00:29:27.459]
and then your account rep is always a good person to

[00:29:29.519]
get to know uh at Yale. They can,

[00:29:31.630]
you know, help advise you if you're looking to Bring

[00:29:33.703]
any other resources

[00:29:35.354]
but I would say probably the best person to get

[00:29:37.505]
to know at Gale is your customer success manager.

[00:29:39.693]
They just help you be successful with the resources.

[00:29:42.074]
They can help you with uh marketing ideas,

[00:29:44.324]
they can take your feedback on the resources.

[00:29:47.184]
They are really just a huge

[00:29:49.384]
font of knowledge and if they don't have the

[00:29:51.404]
answer they know where to go to get it. So

[00:29:53.684]
excellent resource in them

[00:29:56.618]
so do not suffer in

[00:29:58.709]
silence again. Do reach out.

[00:30:01.449]
and with that I'll say thank you so much for tuning

[00:30:03.729]
again, tuning in. Uh Again I apologize

[00:30:06.189]
for the mix up. Uh that was completely my fault.

[00:30:08.269]
I am not very time zone friendly

[00:30:10.430]
so I apologize uh for starting the session

[00:30:12.689]
an hour early and I'm being surprised when nobody was

[00:30:14.789]
there. So

[00:30:15.828]
my mistake. Uh but do keep

[00:30:18.049]
an eye out once I've made that mistake, I don't tend to

[00:30:20.068]
make it again. So um to keep

[00:30:22.299]
an eye out for other sessions. We have a few

[00:30:24.439]
more coming up this month to help support the start

[00:30:26.549]
of the school season. Uh But then you can

[00:30:28.630]
also just keep in mind our general calendar

[00:30:30.809]
where we offer uh really interesting sessions

[00:30:33.239]
uh all the time. So definitely

[00:30:35.799]
keep an eye out for those and of course we record all

[00:30:38.000]
of these as well so you can always tune in after. It's not

[00:30:40.108]
something you're able to attend live. So

[00:30:42.368]
Thanks everybody for tuning in. I'm gonna stick

[00:30:44.400]
around and see if there are any questions. I'm happy to take

[00:30:46.689]
those. But again, thanks so much for

[00:30:48.739]
your time today and hopefully we'll see you on another

[00:30:50.769]
session down the road. Thanks everybody
