[00:00:01.439] All right. Hello and welcome everybody. [00:00:04.059] I'm Stacey Knibloe your Gale trainer [00:00:06.219] for California. Glad to be [00:00:08.358] with you to take a look at our [00:00:10.618] uh National Geographic Resource. [00:00:12.919] Uh We have a good amount of time to cover [00:00:15.099] what we want. So do feel free to use the chat, [00:00:17.388] the Q. And A. If you want [00:00:19.440] to make sure there's anything I'm gonna cover [00:00:21.519] or uh of course I have any questions. [00:00:24.339] I am happy to take those [00:00:26.579] along the way. Uh Or of course [00:00:28.818] right now so [00:00:30.609] let's talk a little bit we want [00:00:32.668] to uh in this session our [00:00:34.719] engaging young science learners with National [00:00:36.959] Geographic Kids is give you a quick [00:00:39.399] resource refresher. So this has been [00:00:41.490] available for a little while but I just want to remind [00:00:43.750] you what's there and then really we're gonna spend [00:00:45.889] most of our time in the resource. We had [00:00:47.978] a release this summer that updated the [00:00:50.039] interface, added some new tools [00:00:52.289] uh and we really wanted to provide. [00:00:54.829] just a little info on uh what's new [00:00:57.319] but also make sure you're comfortable with all the tools [00:00:59.429] that are that are already there and are aware [00:01:01.590] of all the content and how you can put it to [00:01:03.649] work in the library in the classroom. [00:01:05.588] We'll also talk about sharing content [00:01:07.790] from the resource getting in front of students [00:01:09.959] and other learners. Uh and always [00:01:12.269] and as always we'll wrap up with the support [00:01:14.448] you can receive from Gale when you've got [00:01:16.500] questions about any of these resources, [00:01:19.668] So again just to kind of make [00:01:21.689] sure I hit the things you want to see, feel [00:01:23.730] free to make use of the chat, you should [00:01:25.948] be able to send me chats now. [00:01:28.010] I think it might have been disabled earlier in the session [00:01:30.790] zoom seems to be resetting that every [00:01:32.930] time I start a webinar. So [00:01:35.308] um feel free to send me a chat there or [00:01:37.549] use the uh Q. And a tool and I'm [00:01:39.569] happy to uh make sure I cover [00:01:41.730] anything you want to see. This is really your session [00:01:45.909] And the resources um [00:01:48.159] that National Geographic is a part of [00:01:50.379] come to you through the California, K-12 [00:01:52.459] online content project and [00:01:54.799] you can of course access the resources there but [00:01:56.939] we have set up access for each school [00:01:58.980] district and public library in California. [00:02:01.689] Uh again I'm gonna share our, you know, support [00:02:03.730] when we wrap up. [00:02:05.549] you can generate your access U. R. L. S. And [00:02:07.668] get lots of other good stuff on our support site. [00:02:10.338] Uh The nice thing about these resources is [00:02:12.490] they're all geo [00:02:13.490] authenticated meaning if they [00:02:15.580] know you're in California, they just [00:02:17.610] let you in. No need for passwords [00:02:19.969] or library card numbers or anything. [00:02:22.069] Um We can also set up off the other authentication [00:02:24.479] methods if uh there are ones that [00:02:26.599] interest your institution. Uh But [00:02:29.000] G. O. Is uh kind of our default [00:02:31.118] for our California resources. [00:02:34.179] and of course one of those is National Geographic [00:02:36.879] Kids. So kind of an evergreen tool. [00:02:39.240] Uh One of the librarians I work with [00:02:41.278] always likes to say you never outgrow National [00:02:43.508] Geographic Kids. Um and I think that's [00:02:45.550] true, it's great content. [00:02:47.919] Um You of course have the magazine and the [00:02:49.969] collection and we have that going back to [00:02:52.038] 2009. So you can browse past [00:02:54.250] issues um and of course find [00:02:56.460] content to help support uh research [00:02:59.058] and instruction. You also [00:03:01.229] have over 200 videos for National [00:03:03.538] Geographic, a great kind of starting point [00:03:05.719] grab kids attention. Uh if they're [00:03:07.849] more kind of visual learners, you've [00:03:10.088] got over 650 full text [00:03:12.399] eBooks and the collection as well published [00:03:14.729] by Nat Geo [00:03:16.129] and over 900 downloadable. [00:03:18.645] Images, which is nice. Um The uh [00:03:20.663] content from Net of course is [00:03:23.074] outstanding. Um and they are [00:03:25.205] very protective of it, we'll talk about it uh that [00:03:27.615] a little bit more when we get into the resource too. But [00:03:29.925] those downloadable images are [00:03:32.074] really handy because it's not generally something they [00:03:34.183] like to do. So we're pleased to be able to offer [00:03:36.324] those. [00:03:37.278] This resource has unlimited use [00:03:39.360] so you can get in there and use it as much as you like. [00:03:41.990] The magazine. The eBooks are [00:03:44.250] all kind of varied reading levels. We'll [00:03:46.349] talk a bit more about that too when we get in there. [00:03:48.899] Uh But it's available to everybody at your [00:03:50.929] school. So if you've got an eighth grader you wanna put in [00:03:52.979] this resource, they of course have [00:03:55.149] have access to it. You have an adult you want to put [00:03:57.199] in this resource, everybody's got access. [00:03:59.979] So [00:04:01.179] with that let's go ahead and take a look at the new [00:04:03.189] interface. It is. Um [00:04:06.088] something that released this summer and it just [00:04:08.308] happened automatically. There was no need [00:04:10.649] for um our uh libraries [00:04:13.050] or schools to do anything. It just launched [00:04:15.830] uh with some enhancements and again [00:04:18.119] here's that California K 12 online pro [00:04:20.129] content project page and can [00:04:22.149] see the G resources Britannic, [00:04:24.189] all of their uh digital resources available [00:04:26.358] over here on the right, you can always get them from there. [00:04:28.829] However, I'm not coming to you from California [00:04:31.579] so the geo authentication won't work for me. I've [00:04:33.678] gone ahead and just launched our menu [00:04:35.809] here so I can get into the Resource [00:04:40.269] So the home page has [00:04:42.379] a different look and feel but [00:04:44.470] really what's there hasn't changed. The [00:04:46.579] home page of really most [00:04:48.678] scale resources are there to give [00:04:50.809] you a chance to dive right in with a search [00:04:53.129] when you know your topic and you're off and running [00:04:55.449] but also wants to encourage discovery. [00:04:57.608] So we give you some browse options here. You can [00:04:59.660] browse some magazine articles [00:05:01.988] that our editors have chosen to highlight. [00:05:04.290] You can browse some book content [00:05:07.254] videos, pictures, just [00:05:09.605] things to grab attention. We usually change [00:05:11.754] the home page out every month or so [00:05:13.915] just to give um you know a fresh [00:05:16.553] look at content uh for users who are [00:05:18.803] in here often. Uh But it's a great [00:05:20.983] way too to just kind of realize what's [00:05:23.045] here. The home page is showing [00:05:25.324] you, you've got the magazine, you've got books, you've got videos [00:05:27.814] and so on. So it's a nice reinforcement [00:05:30.653] if you're not familiar with the resource to kind [00:05:32.665] of get to know what's here. [00:05:34.858] Uh So we are gonna dive right in with [00:05:37.170] a search and then we'll talk about some of the [00:05:39.230] new features and working with results. [00:05:41.639] Uh We're gonna come back to the home page and browse a little [00:05:43.850] bit though there are a few tips I want to share for [00:05:46.178] uh our teacher librarians, our librarians, [00:05:48.259] our teachers um that may [00:05:50.420] uh they may find candy. So let's dive in [00:05:52.500] right though, let's say we've got a student who [00:05:55.000] uh is uh maybe a first, you [00:05:57.170] know, , researching an animal. [00:06:00.088] And they're gonna go with sea [00:06:02.170] tour toles. [00:06:03.970] So sending your search out [00:06:06.149] is gonna look across all of the different types [00:06:08.399] of content in the resource [00:06:10.738] and like most of our databases [00:06:12.769] we break down the content [00:06:15.028] by [00:06:16.100] the types of sources it's coming [00:06:18.108] from. So you'll see here across [00:06:20.269] the top. We used to do this down the left hand [00:06:22.449] side in the previous interface. Now we've [00:06:24.569] just pushed it to the top, you can get a quick [00:06:26.588] summary of how many hits you have. [00:06:28.764] And again, where they're coming from. So we find [00:06:30.915] of course magazine articles, books, [00:06:33.233] videos, pictures, magazine covers, [00:06:35.574] even which is something special. [00:06:37.975] We do for national geographic content. [00:06:40.035] They are generally so uh recognizable [00:06:42.975] by covers. They kind of stick. If I jump [00:06:45.004] down a bit we can see those. So basically [00:06:47.225] what I did was find any covers that had sea turtles [00:06:49.463] on them. Uh so I Oh yes, that's [00:06:51.595] the issue I wanted and I can dive right in. [00:06:53.713] So something kind of fun with the magazine [00:06:56.165] covers, [00:06:57.608] but really the good stuff kind of appears [00:06:59.730] uh well it's all good stuff. Uh but the [00:07:01.769] uh the content you might be using if you're writing an animal [00:07:04.079] report is probably gonna appear up top. So [00:07:06.209] magazine articles, books and so on are all [00:07:08.588] kind of how we get started. [00:07:10.959] and [00:07:13.009] you'll see over on the right, you have the ability [00:07:15.298] to filter your results so you can choose [00:07:17.480] things like subjects person [00:07:20.100] by or about if it should be you [00:07:22.178] know need it for that result. Uh document [00:07:24.869] type, this kind of thing you can really [00:07:27.540] filter in but it is [00:07:29.649] a smaller collection so that's there [00:07:31.829] if you need it. But generally we find with [00:07:33.858] National Geographic Kids you can kind of jump right into [00:07:36.059] your results [00:07:37.678] uh the magazine, let's go ahead and take a look [00:07:39.838] closer look at these. So we show just a couple [00:07:42.379] quick thumbnail views of the first three [00:07:44.470] results. If I click on more kids magazine [00:07:47.019] or even just the header here, [00:07:49.048] I'll jump right it and can view all 60 of [00:07:51.178] those articles, [00:07:53.069] and again you get the thumbnail view of the pages [00:07:55.290] where your articles are on. Um So some [00:07:57.358] of them we can see like this first one art [00:07:59.500] zone I can see there's you know an image of a of [00:08:01.619] a turtle there. That's why I got this one back. So you [00:08:03.699] kind of these visual cues [00:08:05.619] but we are sorting by newest articles. [00:08:07.949] So you get kind of the newest contact first [00:08:10.309] which you know, typical, you're looking at science things. Science [00:08:12.608] related is a good thing. [00:08:14.470] Uh, but what we can also do is there's [00:08:16.720] a sort by option, [00:08:18.569] uh above our results. So I could change [00:08:20.889] that and you know, depending on your search, [00:08:22.988] you may need that trick in in your pocket. [00:08:25.048] So I'm gonna go ahead and choose relevance in [00:08:27.108] this case. And what it will do is just kind of push [00:08:29.528] my sea turtle articles up to the top [00:08:32.408] I also filtering by subjects could [00:08:34.529] have done the same thing. So she's usually more than one [00:08:36.639] way to do things in our resources. [00:08:38.700] But now I can kind of see these articles that are [00:08:40.779] all about sea turtles right up to [00:08:42.830] the top of my page, [00:08:44.798] and one of the uh ways [00:08:46.869] that we work with National Geographic [00:08:49.369] is to stay true to [00:08:51.658] their original publications. So [00:08:54.099] with all of the magazines the books [00:08:56.418] you're gonna actually view it like you would if [00:08:58.450] you've taken it off the shelf and are flipping through [00:09:00.739] it. Two page view. It's kind [00:09:02.798] of like we're working with a P. D. F. Here, everything's [00:09:04.879] been scanned. Um Of course they do [00:09:06.960] a really nice job with that. Um Really [00:09:08.969] high quality scans uh And [00:09:11.070] it just mimics what you would have in the print experience. [00:09:14.710] And we find the end users like that as [00:09:16.750] well. You know, the act of kind of flipping through the [00:09:18.820] magazine, flipping through a book. We've got that here. [00:09:21.779] And we did update the viewer [00:09:24.190] that we're using here. It is uh, it works [00:09:26.369] better with different accessibility tools. So [00:09:28.548] if you're using screen reader or [00:09:30.570] or other kind of browser tools, um, to [00:09:32.750] reach every learner. This new interface, [00:09:35.580] not only the viewer, but just other changes [00:09:37.619] we make kind of upped our um, compliance [00:09:40.335] with different accessibility tools. [00:09:42.433] Um, we have more details on that on our website. [00:09:44.875] Actually, if you scroll to the bottom, let me go back [00:09:47.104] out uh, to the results here. If you [00:09:49.154] scroll to the bottom of most of our pages, [00:09:51.423] there's a link out to our accessibility [00:09:53.604] statement [00:09:55.418] right at the bottom of the page. Plus you can get [00:09:57.469] to our V. A. Directory. So if you really need [00:09:59.639] to get into the weeds on accessibility [00:10:01.649] we've got a lot of great content here. And then of course [00:10:03.788] you can always reach out to the Gale team. [00:10:06.399] Um But let's jump back into the article [00:10:08.408] here. So [00:10:10.580] the viewer allows um [00:10:13.519] for a lot of kind of um, interaction [00:10:16.219] with the uh, with the images, [00:10:18.349] we have the arrows over here on the right and left, [00:10:20.599] so I can flip through it or I on [00:10:22.960] a um [00:10:24.849] uh, touch screen, I'd be able to actually [00:10:26.960] flip to swipe my finger and slip uh, swipe [00:10:29.369] the pages through. [00:10:31.058] Uh, you also have tools, let me just [00:10:33.070] go ahead and circle them embedded [00:10:35.190] right in the images to let you interact [00:10:37.599] with them. So no separate toolbar [00:10:39.719] or anything. [00:10:40.979] And really my favorite of these [00:10:43.119] is this kind of four co four [00:10:45.229] corners icon. What that's [00:10:47.288] gonna do. It may look familiar, it's often [00:10:49.389] used [00:10:50.399] to switch into full screen mode. [00:10:52.538] So we can have the magazine kind of take over [00:10:54.798] our screen and instead of [00:10:56.849] getting you know all of the database [00:10:59.320] headers and other stuff, [00:11:01.570] I just get the magazine right. I've got the [00:11:03.619] arrows to navigate through it. I have a plus [00:11:05.979] and a minus here to zoom in or out. [00:11:08.178] I need to I want to get a closer look at this. [00:11:10.700] Um uh wrinkle butt, [00:11:12.779] uh [00:11:13.729] uh turtle, I can zoom [00:11:16.080] right in, [00:11:17.009] I can zoom back out and then we [00:11:19.038] do have a text to speech tool [00:11:21.259] and it is working [00:11:23.308] with the text that's kind of behind the scenes [00:11:26.149] so we can go ahead and turn that [00:11:28.168] on [00:11:29.340] slippery swimmers. The idea that [00:11:31.399] sea turtles are plotting and ungraceful [00:11:33.678] proves untrue. As soon as biologist, [00:11:36.080] my house tries to catch a three ft [00:11:38.210] long, £350 [00:11:40.869] go stop though. Uh, [00:11:42.950] but great tool to be able to again reach [00:11:45.259] more learners if we have kids who are maybe [00:11:47.678] absorbed more when they're listening rather than reading, [00:11:49.979] you've got that that tool as well. [00:11:52.840] All right so the full screen would be really handy [00:11:55.759] but let me go back to the database view, [00:11:59.239] And I'll show you some other tools here. [00:12:01.428] So over on the left, we [00:12:03.538] have um, basically [00:12:05.658] the details around the article. I can open [00:12:07.798] up the table of contents and [00:12:10.418] actually get to the whole issue [00:12:12.849] because again, it's staying true to the print. [00:12:15.538] What it did was really just opens us up [00:12:17.960] to [00:12:19.058] this sea turtle article in this issue. [00:12:21.479] If I go back another page, you'll see. We're actually [00:12:23.889] in the magazine. So this is the previous o article [00:12:26.408] about Otters. [00:12:27.580] So the table of contents here just lets you browse [00:12:29.960] through that whole magazine if you'd like or get [00:12:32.048] back to where you need to be. [00:12:33.859] You can search within the article, [00:12:35.918] it's also gonna show you where your search term [00:12:38.149] hits are. So of course this whole article [00:12:40.428] is about sea turtles. Uh so, [00:12:42.639] you know, all pages mention it, [00:12:44.719] but this can be handy if you are, you [00:12:46.759] know, maybe there's just a mention of sea turtles in another [00:12:49.019] article about, you know, uh marine [00:12:51.058] life or something. We can zero in on that [00:12:54.288] then there's a quick dictionary look up. We're [00:12:56.349] using Merriam Webster's uh, kids dictionary [00:12:58.500] here. So you can pull a term maybe from the article [00:13:00.609] and search here. [00:13:02.298] and then our full citation for the [00:13:04.399] article. So what issue is it coming from [00:13:06.599] the author? All of those things kids would need [00:13:08.798] if they were going to, you know, build a work [00:13:10.989] cited uh page or bibliography, [00:13:13.690] although we have another trick in our book for that. [00:13:15.798] Let me go ahead. And [00:13:18.450] point it out here, [00:13:20.710] our site tool actually builds [00:13:22.750] a citation for students. [00:13:24.769] So of course this is always important in research. [00:13:27.239] We want to know where we got, you know, [00:13:29.379] our information. [00:13:30.759] And the site tool uses four [00:13:33.090] different citation styles M L A [00:13:35.489] a p a Chicago and Harvard [00:13:37.590] that I could just copy and paste and put right [00:13:39.678] in my bibliography. So depending [00:13:41.750] on the age of the user you're working with, [00:13:43.820] you know, especially in elementary school, they may [00:13:45.940] not be familiar with these specific styles [00:13:48.009] yet, but they can build their citations [00:13:50.524] from the full citation over there on the left. But if [00:13:52.604] we're working with say 1/7 grader, you [00:13:54.764] know, this might be something they're starting to learn about [00:13:56.783] different styles. May have particular needs from [00:13:59.104] uh, the classroom, uh, around [00:14:01.264] styles. They can pull this, [00:14:03.303] put it right through their bibliography or export [00:14:05.484] out to these tools here, like noodle tools, [00:14:07.585] easy bib and so on. [00:14:10.009] And so really handy make it easy [00:14:12.210] for them to cite their sources. [00:14:15.250] Now I mentioned before, we are a little [00:14:17.259] limited. Um, there are some restrictions [00:14:19.428] that Nat Geo places on us, [00:14:21.450] you'll notice really. The only thing we can do [00:14:23.538] with this article aside from of course reading it on [00:14:25.619] the screen is print it, it's gonna give [00:14:27.710] you the option to print now [00:14:29.769] by default it is printing the [00:14:31.908] whole issue, so you can just change [00:14:33.928] that to the pages of the article. So this one [00:14:36.048] starts on page 24 [00:14:38.750] and I think it went through, I think it was that whole [00:14:40.960] next page too. So what [00:14:42.979] a page. Uh let's see, that would be 27 [00:14:45.928] I can print just those pages. It'll give you a preview, [00:14:48.219] like a P. D. F. Preview so you can make sure that's [00:14:50.259] what you want. [00:14:51.340] Um But printing is really our only option. [00:14:53.529] Unfortunately we can't download the magazine [00:14:55.690] or book content, we can't email it, [00:14:58.200] we can really only print it. [00:15:00.408] So just something that's a little different. [00:15:02.629] Your other databases typically don't have that restriction. [00:15:05.489] Um But again Nat Geo is [00:15:07.529] uh you know very protective of its content. [00:15:09.719] Um So we are uh [00:15:12.399] uh limiting the retrieval options [00:15:14.519] as we would call them here [00:15:18.558] All right. So there's a look at some of our results [00:15:20.739] for uh the mega. Well actually we just looked [00:15:22.808] at one. Let me jump back out to the results, but all of [00:15:24.879] our articles are going to mimic the same format. [00:15:27.239] So if I jump into the second one again, [00:15:29.538] the two page view, the viewer [00:15:31.700] tools here and here, over [00:15:33.820] on the left, the arrows to move between [00:15:37.629] And it can again you know kind of get [00:15:39.969] to the entire issue from here so [00:15:42.798] we can move through [00:15:44.219] some of the puzzles things like that. [00:15:48.340] so I'm gonna move over to book content [00:15:50.690] and I'm just gonna do that by using the [00:15:52.739] header up here at the top. [00:15:55.239] and we've got a few different books. Now. [00:15:57.658] I'm going to in the chat kind of while [00:15:59.840] I talk about this, load up [00:16:02.178] a title list for um, [00:16:04.239] National Geographic Kids because it [00:16:06.340] gives you [00:16:08.450] the uh [00:16:10.548] reading level for all of the books [00:16:12.849] that are in [00:16:14.779] this resource, [00:16:16.808] we can't see them here. [00:16:19.918] in the results. There we go. I just uploaded [00:16:22.210] it. Um We can't see a reading level [00:16:24.408] here but the covers of the book sometimes [00:16:26.609] are you know just a good indicator, you can see the reader [00:16:28.719] number. Um or you [00:16:30.849] know something that looks more like a picture book versus [00:16:33.349] you know a middle reader or something like that. [00:16:36.239] So covers can be you know kind of a visual [00:16:38.428] queue. But that title list will give [00:16:40.548] you a much more uh specific [00:16:43.129] reading level uh and grade level [00:16:45.149] for each of the books in the collection [00:16:47.609] And like our other [00:16:50.058] Um Meg or like our magazine viewer. The [00:16:52.158] book viewer is actually gonna work the same way [00:16:54.719] here. We've pulled the book off the shelf [00:16:56.940] and hold in our hands, looking at the cover, [00:16:59.509] we can open up and we've got everything, [00:17:01.779] the cover pages, the copyright [00:17:04.269] info, all of that. [00:17:05.709] Again, over on the left, we'll have a table [00:17:07.779] of content. So if I want to, you know, maybe [00:17:09.789] move forward in the book and read about how [00:17:11.959] uh sea turtles build their nests. [00:17:15.068] I can just jump to that section, [00:17:18.789] and again, these are nice scans. [00:17:21.088] So sometimes you'll see it are a little spinner kind [00:17:23.309] of working on that for a minute. Uh It takes [00:17:25.858] a little time sometimes to load out, but [00:17:28.078] again, high quality stuff [00:17:31.068] So I have an entire book here about sea turtles [00:17:35.368] and we can check out some of our other results too. [00:17:37.529] We've got some video content. [00:17:39.858] Uh, and again, pictures [00:17:42.509] and these are downloadable, so [00:17:44.699] I can just do a right mouse click [00:17:46.750] copy and paste that image. [00:17:49.000] Um, or save it [00:17:51.219] You're able to work with over 9000, [00:17:53.789] downloadable images in the collection. [00:17:58.449] So when you're searching, it kind of brings [00:18:00.568] you across the resource, [00:18:04.309] Let's try another one. Say here on the water cycle. [00:18:07.759] And it looks like we've got some magazine hits, some [00:18:09.900] books. [00:18:11.779] Ok. And I did want to highlight the video [00:18:14.140] content. So these are typically [00:18:16.618] um you know, less than about five minutes [00:18:18.729] long automatically. We have [00:18:20.769] the closed captioning turned on, we [00:18:22.789] display a broadcast transcript. [00:18:25.400] Uh But let's go ahead and let me [00:18:27.578] unmute this so you can hear it. [00:18:30.170] 326 million cubic [00:18:32.559] miles. [00:18:34.029] that's how much water there is enough. [00:18:36.380] But that can make a nice introduction [00:18:38.449] to a topic. It can again engage [00:18:40.949] the users, particularly the younger viewers [00:18:43.009] with uh with video content. And [00:18:45.348] of course because it's N. G. O. You're working [00:18:47.410] with great uh great videos [00:18:49.739] now let's say I want to kick off [00:18:51.920] a lesson about the water cycle around [00:18:54.689] um this video [00:18:56.259] I want to send my students to it. [00:18:58.358] There are a few different ways I can do that. [00:19:00.719] One is by using our get [00:19:03.269] link tool, get link [00:19:05.338] up here in the toolbar. Same place we saw the site [00:19:07.759] tool of the print option. [00:19:10.410] This will let me [00:19:12.368] Sorry, let me get rid of my drawings here. So I can actually [00:19:14.400] click it. Get link will give [00:19:16.529] me a persistent U. R. L. Or [00:19:18.568] pearl to go along [00:19:20.689] with this video. And this [00:19:22.890] is just A U. R. L. So I can put [00:19:24.930] it wherever I would normally put A U. R. L. [00:19:27.390] Embed it on a web page, [00:19:29.469] Put it in uh [00:19:31.650] You know they've got some sort of learning management system [00:19:34.049] like canvas or [00:19:36.209] um oh shoot what's the there's a new one [00:19:38.618] well new to me seesaw uh one [00:19:40.680] I'm hearing more and more about for younger kids. [00:19:43.640] You can put these links wherever a link would normally [00:19:46.108] go and when someone clicks it, [00:19:48.199] they land right here in the database [00:19:50.250] on this video. They don't have to [00:19:52.699] you know find the database, [00:19:54.799] find the right video and then view it, [00:19:56.890] they're there in one click [00:19:58.529] so get link is really powerful. It [00:20:00.588] lets you put your users right [00:20:02.598] where you want them and you're gonna see it more often [00:20:04.880] than not. It's here in individual documents. [00:20:07.328] But if I go back out to my results, [00:20:09.368] it's on this page as well. So I could [00:20:11.618] I could use the Git link for this page and [00:20:13.769] send students to it. [00:20:15.390] If I'm in the public library and I know, [00:20:17.549] you know they're working on the watch cycle. I want to help [00:20:19.719] support research. I can put this on [00:20:21.900] our web page again. I'm working [00:20:24.410] you know in the library as a teacher librarian. [00:20:26.529] I want to push this out to the third grade [00:20:28.729] teachers because I know they're gonna be covering water cycle [00:20:30.828] this year again get link [00:20:33.130] is a really powerful way to put folks right [00:20:35.640] in your library resources [00:20:37.809] right where you want them. [00:20:41.000] So let me just check the chat and Q and a [00:20:43.049] see if anything's come in so far. [00:20:46.380] It's like [00:20:47.209] we're in good shape. So I want to show you [00:20:49.299] a few more things here [00:20:51.959] I'm gonna jump back to that home page and show [00:20:54.088] you some of the browse tools because of course [00:20:56.449] most of our end users are gonna search, [00:20:58.559] you know, they know what they're after. I [00:21:00.699] like the browse though for discovery. [00:21:02.750] You know, finding something interesting. We actually [00:21:05.019] have found that [00:21:06.910] Average session time and our Nat Geo [00:21:08.979] database is about twice that of [00:21:11.009] our other databases folks just get caught up [00:21:13.108] in the content. [00:21:14.328] Um But it's also handy for you to know kind [00:21:16.630] of to know what's here. So [00:21:18.670] I loaded that title list for the eBooks [00:21:21.019] and actually when you're on the home page, if [00:21:23.199] you click into the books [00:21:25.469] into the browse, you get all [00:21:27.549] of them and you can browse right here [00:21:29.568] and see what's you know basically on the electronic [00:21:31.890] shelf. This is where the filter [00:21:34.150] tool can come in handy. So if I open up subjects, [00:21:37.150] I want animal books, I want marine animal [00:21:39.328] books, I want dogs, lots of lots of animal [00:21:41.529] content and that geo I want animal [00:21:43.910] rescue, I want holidays [00:21:45.989] just to click and it'll filter [00:21:48.400] and show you the results that go along with that. [00:21:51.559] and then if you want to keep browsing, I can just x [00:21:53.739] out holidays and go back [00:21:55.959] to subjects. Maybe I'm looking for things relating [00:21:58.098] to space, [00:21:59.959] and I can [00:22:01.390] again, filter [00:22:04.598] and then of course you've got [00:22:07.519] you know, the viewer. Again, you can just flip through [00:22:09.699] the book [00:22:11.380] So I wanna share this is more of a picture [00:22:13.640] book. Wait, let me actually get in a few pages [00:22:15.680] here. [00:22:17.189] and we'll uh [00:22:19.729] can kind of get a look at some of the text. [00:22:28.289] a little bit further in. But I think there's [00:22:30.348] gonna be this seems to be more of a picture book. [00:22:32.630] I just guessing from the cover. Uh [00:22:34.868] But yeah not a ton of texts but some [00:22:36.959] good facts. I want to start maybe here with [00:22:39.380] third or fourth graders Again [00:22:41.459] get link and drop them right into the book [00:22:46.618] Now I could also [00:22:49.068] use another tool to drop [00:22:51.150] them right here. Gatling is a little [00:22:53.400] more manual. It's universal. [00:22:55.799] You can take a U. R. L. Practically anywhere [00:22:57.809] but it's on the you know, user to kind of put [00:23:00.019] it where they want it [00:23:01.660] one of the new features we added with the [00:23:03.848] release this summer [00:23:06.118] is our shared a google classroom [00:23:08.338] tool. [00:23:09.880] So if you're already a google classroom user [00:23:12.239] that might, that icon might look familiar, [00:23:14.469] what it's gonna do is just [00:23:16.500] start me down the path to posting [00:23:19.660] to my google classroom stream. [00:23:22.049] So it pops up this little wizard [00:23:24.189] like tool [00:23:25.519] shared a classroom, where do I want to put [00:23:27.598] this? I'm gonna put it in Ms Knibloe fourth grade classroom, [00:23:31.338] and I'm gonna create an assignment out of [00:23:33.479] it, click go. And what we've [00:23:35.618] done here is if I open this [00:23:37.680] up a little more you'll see. It's just embedding [00:23:39.900] that get link U. R. L. [00:23:42.449] and forgive my very brief [00:23:44.539] instructions here I assign it. [00:23:47.170] It works for a minute. it's posted [00:23:49.368] to my class [00:23:51.358] and my students will see this pop [00:23:53.459] up in the classroom stream [00:23:55.779] and it sometimes takes a minute for [00:23:57.838] that link to show up on the page here. [00:23:59.848] I'm a little impatient, so I'm gonna jump right to class [00:24:02.160] work so we can see it but there it is [00:24:04.309] embedded [00:24:05.719] and with one click [00:24:07.539] they land on that book. [00:24:09.799] Hi. So fully [00:24:12.199] integrated with google classroom and [00:24:14.729] we can uh talk about other [00:24:16.769] L. M. S options here in a minute uh because [00:24:19.088] I can't quite demonstrate those on the right from [00:24:21.140] here but I do want to mention those so we'll [00:24:23.209] come back. [00:24:24.328] Uh talk about that. [00:24:26.410] Oh whoops, I'm in the wrong pages here [00:24:28.930] Mhm. So [00:24:31.029] the last thing I wanted to share [00:24:33.420] again is just some more of the browsing options. [00:24:35.689] So if I jump back to the home page again we can browse [00:24:38.108] all of the videos, all of the pictures, [00:24:40.469] those are both in the title list too. [00:24:42.910] So you can you know see the list there [00:24:44.930] or you can of course pull them right from the browse [00:24:46.949] list. p [00:24:49.318] me, We also [00:24:51.598] have. [00:24:53.430] The ability to browse magazines [00:24:55.568] and oops I guess so I didn't make my circle quite big [00:24:57.588] enough explore topics here from [00:24:59.729] the toolbar on the home page and [00:25:01.969] the Browse magazines is exactly that you [00:25:04.098] can browse the issues that are in [00:25:06.150] in the resource. So again we go back to [00:25:08.368] 2009. [00:25:10.029] and we do have a bit of an embargo. We have [00:25:12.130] to wait for National Geographic Kids magazine, [00:25:14.650] we have to wait 90 days from the [00:25:16.660] the date on the mass tad before we can include it [00:25:18.719] in the resource so you'll see a bit of a lag [00:25:21.118] here. [00:25:22.108] Uh But other than that we have all of these [00:25:24.328] issues so kids can just load up [00:25:27.588] the special forest issue and dive [00:25:29.689] right in and flip through it [00:25:31.890] and this is again the [00:25:33.969] whole magazine, everything is scanned [00:25:36.019] here. So if I open up the table of contents [00:25:39.259] I can get to say all the fun puzzles [00:25:41.719] and trivia and stuff like that. That's in every [00:25:43.789] issue. And again, you can always print [00:25:45.979] out from the content. So I could make maybe [00:25:48.479] a, you know, fun activity in the library [00:25:50.979] or maybe something in the classroom, [00:25:53.769] You know share some artwork uh that kids [00:25:55.979] have submitted. So you know you've got [00:25:58.108] the whole thing here, there's tons of great [00:26:00.199] content here, [00:26:02.400] and then the explore topics just is [00:26:04.439] more of a discovery tool, kind of hits the six [00:26:06.519] major areas that Nat Geo uh really, [00:26:09.269] you know, kind of specializes in and highlights [00:26:11.719] some of the content in this case relating to the environment. [00:26:15.189] So again just a nice discovery. If kids [00:26:17.259] have a choice maybe in what they're, you know researching. [00:26:20.088] This can be a fun way for them to find something too. [00:26:22.410] So really brows [00:26:24.259] uh resource. But [00:26:26.368] of course search is often [00:26:28.479] our favorite. So kids kind of dive in. [00:26:30.489] If I'm looking for manatee [00:26:32.670] is my favorite. [00:26:34.049] Can dive right in [00:26:37.630] So let me check the chat and the Q. [00:26:39.709] And A. And I think we're in good shape. [00:26:41.969] I want to talk to you about support and other learning [00:26:44.170] management systems. So I'm gonna pop back to the power [00:26:46.608] point here for a minute. [00:26:48.039] So we saw the google classroom integration. [00:26:50.250] This can also integrate into [00:26:52.410] tools like cannabis school [00:26:54.299] G. Blackboard um [00:26:56.348] with resources that are L. [00:26:58.410] T. I. At least one point. Oh compliant [00:27:01.630] You can actually embed the [00:27:03.699] content into the learning management [00:27:06.059] system. So the student doesn't even leave that [00:27:08.140] environment. They don't go out to the database. [00:27:10.750] The database kind of comes to them through [00:27:13.039] the L. M. S. So this is what this article [00:27:15.338] on dolphins would look like inside [00:27:17.769] uh an assignment or [00:27:19.799] uh um materials inside canvas [00:27:22.160] are school so it is [00:27:24.189] a great way to again kind of keep [00:27:26.368] them in the regular school environment [00:27:28.489] but bring this library content to [00:27:30.500] them. And the nice thing is it counts. [00:27:32.969] You get that usage uh counts [00:27:35.529] in your use reports on the databases [00:27:37.809] even if it comes to them through the L. M. S. So [00:27:39.979] that's what the L. T. I. Integration [00:27:42.449] uh really does for you. So you want [00:27:44.608] to know more about this, That's what I'm [00:27:46.618] gonna recommend you get in touch with your Gale team. [00:27:48.848] So let's talk a bit about support.
