[00:00:05.150] Again, thank you everyone for being here [00:00:07.448] today. We're talking about the top 10 [00:00:09.460] tips and tricks within Gale [00:00:11.477] Interactive Science. My name [00:00:13.519] is Amber Winters and I am your training consultant [00:00:15.750] for the day, [00:00:17.219] a quick agenda here for everyone. So first I want [00:00:19.457] to very briefly mention what Gale Interactive [00:00:21.870] Science is. So if you're new to the [00:00:23.928] resource, you get just a little background before we [00:00:26.000] get rolling. But of course, we're going to spend [00:00:28.158] the majority of the time actually talking about [00:00:30.280] the tips and tricks that are available for you [00:00:32.639] as we're going through those tips, we're also [00:00:34.667] going to jump into the resource so you can kind [00:00:36.740] of see them in action. [00:00:38.880] And then by the end of the session, we will have time [00:00:41.380] for any questions that I wasn't able to answer [00:00:43.478] as we move along. And I do have some wrap [00:00:45.679] up contact information for you as well that [00:00:47.779] you'll get at the very end. So let's go [00:00:49.840] ahead and dive in [00:00:52.139] first at the very very base level [00:00:54.219] when we're talking about Gale Interactive Science. [00:00:56.520] This is a resource that provides [00:00:58.618] interactive models for secondary level students. [00:01:01.179] That is the very base if that's [00:01:03.240] all you know about the resource. And that's gonna be the one [00:01:05.438] thing. the models are focused [00:01:07.599] in core science, subjects like biograph, [00:01:09.680] biology and chemistry, earth science, [00:01:11.870] science, as well as human anatomy. So we're [00:01:13.948] really focused at the high school level content. [00:01:16.370] Of course, you'll see the majority [00:01:18.430] of this content is going to be just for your high [00:01:20.527] school leveled studentss. Um [00:01:22.680] Some individuals use this at the middle school [00:01:24.930] level but it is a higher leveled resource. [00:01:27.027] So generally we recommend it for high school level [00:01:29.307] students and above, [00:01:33.829] but let's jump right into our top 10 [00:01:35.900] here. So my first top [00:01:38.019] 10 [00:01:38.908] tool feature tip is [00:01:41.087] going to be the 3D principal [00:01:43.180] models. So these are free on [00:01:45.479] demand files available [00:01:47.769] to S T L files which [00:01:49.930] work in any 3D printer. So if [00:01:51.948] you're in the library and you have access to a 3D [00:01:54.049] printer, you can find these right on the home [00:01:56.250] page of Gale Interactive Science [00:01:58.908] and just like our general activities [00:02:00.930] going to include topics within [00:02:03.218] biology and chemistry, earth science [00:02:05.430] and anatomy. [00:02:07.468] And my tip here is that this is going [00:02:09.550] to be perfect to replace those expensive [00:02:11.830] scientific models for your staff. So if [00:02:14.110] you're trying to get some buy in from your science department [00:02:16.587] and maybe they're not quite in the resource [00:02:18.669] just yet print out a couple of these [00:02:20.878] models and hand them out, of course, [00:02:22.968] they're going to be a lot cheaper than those scientific [00:02:25.460] models you have to buy from the science supply [00:02:27.568] store. Generally those are, are [00:02:29.735] pretty substantially priced. You'll [00:02:32.024] have access to these. Your teachers will be able to [00:02:34.085] even have a couple in their classroom if they want [00:02:36.235] to. You'll see, pull forward here a little virus. [00:02:38.944] If they want to have a couple versions of this [00:02:41.063] virus for their classroom, it's much easier [00:02:43.115] to get it from you than it would be to order [00:02:45.444] from a science supply [00:02:47.645] company. [00:02:48.860] So let's take a look at this where you can find this, [00:02:51.250] how it's going to look when you click into them here. [00:02:53.968] Got a couple of windows open. There we go. [00:02:56.098] So this is the home page of Gale Interactive [00:02:58.520] Science. If you haven't been here before, [00:03:00.658] I'm going to scroll down today, [00:03:02.699] but we'll go over the whole, the whole [00:03:05.038] home page. Sorry, I'm a little tongue [00:03:07.199] tied. But we are going to jump right into [00:03:09.399] the 3D Principle models which are found here [00:03:11.557] on the home page and you won't find these [00:03:13.777] if you just run a standard search. So if you're [00:03:15.867] going up here and searching through activities [00:03:18.587] that does not search through the 3D Principle [00:03:20.837] models, those are pulled out in their own separate [00:03:22.938] little bucket just because we won't, don't [00:03:25.139] want students to click into those thinking they're going [00:03:27.210] to be able to click through an activity and [00:03:29.258] all they get is a file that they can't even [00:03:31.329] use. So we have pulled them out separately [00:03:33.478] here so I can select browse S T L [00:03:35.639] files. [00:03:38.337] There we go. [00:03:39.429] And you'll see, we have all of these listed here with [00:03:41.598] nice little previews of what you're going to get. [00:03:43.639] So again, as I mentioned, you'll see some chemistry here, [00:03:46.277] some different biology, like a full [00:03:48.319] beluga whale or a skull [00:03:50.668] scrolling down here. You'll see we have different [00:03:52.837] bones available [00:03:55.087] and we also have microscopic things [00:03:57.149] here. Again, that's a little [00:03:59.527] virus I have here. You'll see, we also [00:04:01.688] have one here. [00:04:03.139] So these are all readily available for you whenever [00:04:05.449] you want them, all you need to do is download [00:04:07.837] the file. [00:04:10.568] It does come out in a zip folder [00:04:12.628] just because there's um, a good amount of stuff [00:04:14.740] here. So you'll see, you can pull it forward [00:04:17.850] and you have your file right here. It's going to open [00:04:19.889] up for you. [00:04:22.970] You may have a different software that you're using [00:04:25.250] to deal with 3D models, but it'll [00:04:27.519] pull forward whatever software you're using. You'll [00:04:29.540] see it's ready to go [00:04:30.959] and then you'll just print it out and you'll have it on hand [00:04:33.088] for any teachers who need it or just, you [00:04:35.189] know, to decorate your library. If you find some [00:04:37.278] interesting things you would look, you think would look in [00:04:39.338] your library, these are ready to go for you. [00:04:41.439] And of course, of course, students love to [00:04:43.519] be able to take a look at these models. So again, [00:04:46.079] this is my number 10 tip [00:04:48.298] is use these 3d models to [00:04:50.409] get sign to your interest. [00:04:52.699] Again, they're found right here on this home page. [00:04:57.487] And again, as I mentioned, free to use and always [00:04:59.709] avail available for you on demand. [00:05:03.699] So our number nine tip [00:05:05.750] is going to be taking a look at the supporting [00:05:08.250] reference content that's available [00:05:10.329] attached to all of our activities. [00:05:12.778] So in addition to having the activities that are walking [00:05:15.100] students through whatever they're learning about, [00:05:17.209] you'll see in my screenshot here, it's an aquifer. [00:05:19.699] We include articles that are going to provide [00:05:22.129] deeper information about that [00:05:24.209] specific topic and the articles [00:05:26.329] changed to stay relevant with each [00:05:28.619] step of the activity. So as I were [00:05:30.720] to move forward through my activity, it would [00:05:32.730] change along with me. [00:05:34.528] And in addition to just having the text, [00:05:36.699] what's great is we also have a translation [00:05:38.737] translation feature on these articles [00:05:41.199] as well as the read speaker and some different [00:05:43.409] text manipulation tools. So we're trying [00:05:45.487] to make this reference content just [00:05:47.778] as accessible as the actual activity itself. [00:05:50.129] You'll find it here attach to the activity [00:05:52.588] on this right hand side. [00:05:54.838] Let's go ahead and jump back and take a look at this. [00:05:57.670] So today I'm just going to use my [00:05:59.778] little carousel up tap here and [00:06:01.850] I want to explore my volcano activity. [00:06:04.410] I don't know if you all enjoy a good volcano, but I certainly [00:06:06.559] do. So I'm going to hit discover now [00:06:08.730] so we can take a look at what this reference content [00:06:10.790] looks like. So as my activity is [00:06:12.829] loading here, you'll see this is the reference [00:06:14.899] content we have pulled forward here. So [00:06:16.910] this is going to give us kind of a background about [00:06:19.259] what we're going to be learning. Some are longer than [00:06:21.298] others, as I'm sure you could imagine this one's [00:06:23.369] pretty substantial, [00:06:26.309] but we have this here. So students can kind of read [00:06:28.389] through this if they're getting a little bit stuck on the activity. [00:06:31.410] But you'll see as I start to click through this activity, [00:06:34.639] now, my material has changed. So now we're [00:06:36.737] taking a look at igneous rocks as [00:06:38.759] opposed to just volcanoes. [00:06:41.608] If I move forward a little bit more here, we start [00:06:43.670] talking about plates. You'll now see, I have information [00:06:46.369] on plate tectonics here. [00:06:48.939] So this is a great review for your students [00:06:51.220] and your students can actually save this content [00:06:53.509] specifically. So if they just need that additional [00:06:55.737] support, [00:06:56.677] you see, we have the option to send this over [00:06:58.709] to Google or Onedrive, they can email it [00:07:00.809] to themselves or they can download and print this. [00:07:03.160] So this is good for your students. If they're trying to [00:07:05.177] pull content. If they won't have [00:07:07.420] access to the activity right now, they just want something [00:07:09.987] physical they can take with them. It's [00:07:12.160] also great for teachers. If they find a bit of content [00:07:14.500] that they think is really beneficial, they [00:07:16.509] can forward that along to students. So [00:07:18.528] this is just another layer within this resource [00:07:21.298] that's really going to help students fully [00:07:23.838] grasp whatever they're learning. [00:07:28.858] And I don't see any questions pop up. I will remind [00:07:30.927] everyone the Q and A is open. So [00:07:32.980] even though I'm moving through these kind of quickly to [00:07:35.040] make sure we get through all of our 10, if [00:07:37.177] you do have a question, type it in there, and I'll be able [00:07:39.278] to pause and answer that. [00:07:42.019] So let's take a look at number eight here. Number [00:07:44.338] eight is a big one. Number eight is going to be all [00:07:46.379] of the great filters we have available [00:07:48.737] and these filters are going to be beneficial [00:07:50.778] for students as well as teachers. So [00:07:52.838] they'll find really precise information [00:07:55.139] that they need and they can filter [00:07:57.379] by subject by category or [00:07:59.500] by standards, we'll talk about standards a [00:08:01.519] little bit later, but they can filter by any [00:08:03.649] of those options. [00:08:05.358] And our filtering goes a lot for multi selection. [00:08:07.959] So if you have individuals coming in, you'll [00:08:10.040] see a pulled forward biology as a category [00:08:12.608] here. And maybe they're interested in zoology [00:08:15.040] and paleontology, but not so much [00:08:17.379] microbiology. They can [00:08:19.420] narrow it down to those two options and they'll just be pulled [00:08:21.660] to that specific content. [00:08:23.720] And once they are pulled to a specific [00:08:26.608] list of resources based [00:08:28.829] on their filter options, they can choose [00:08:31.177] different filters right on that list, kind [00:08:33.269] of that search results list as well. [00:08:37.278] You'll see that in my screenshot here. And when I do [00:08:39.557] have my filter set, I can narrow it [00:08:41.599] down even further on that left hand side [00:08:45.869] and it's nice and simple to get there. So let's [00:08:47.969] jump back to the home page any time I [00:08:49.979] hit this scale Interactive Science banner [00:08:52.168] up top here, it's going to pull me forward to the home page. [00:08:58.528] Scroll down here and our filtering [00:09:00.570] begins right here at this point. So [00:09:02.690] you'll see here, I can refine my category on [00:09:04.700] any of these. [00:09:05.960] So if I do want to stick with biology, let's say, [00:09:08.750] and maybe take a look at microbiology, [00:09:11.038] I can filter that here and I'll just let go [00:09:13.307] and then I'm pulled forward to everything. [00:09:15.769] That's been tagged to microbiology [00:09:18.057] here and I will point [00:09:20.080] out any tags you choose are [00:09:22.379] labeled down here underneath [00:09:24.599] the entries. So you'll see each of these [00:09:26.629] are tagged to microbiology [00:09:29.619] and all of my filter filters follow along [00:09:31.979] with me. You'll see they're opened up a little bit more [00:09:34.028] compared to the home page. You can see them all [00:09:36.139] listed here. [00:09:37.460] So we can check off and then we're [00:09:39.500] just going to see all of the activities [00:09:41.538] we have available or we can [00:09:43.570] choose something else. So maybe I want to take a look [00:09:45.629] at chemistry and take a look at my atoms [00:09:47.759] or I'm interested in geology, [00:09:50.418] I'll be able to narrow that down right here. [00:09:52.719] Pull forward whatever I'm looking for. [00:09:56.038] And of course, this is in addition to the search, [00:09:58.820] but I do recommend using filters if maybe [00:10:00.940] your teachers or your students aren't exactly [00:10:03.080] sure what they're looking for. maybe [00:10:05.168] they know they need something related to animals [00:10:07.899] so they can click into, to zoology. [00:10:10.168] They don't know what animal they want to look at, but [00:10:12.278] they know they want to take a look at some sort of [00:10:14.298] a animal anatomy, using this [00:10:16.450] filter as opposed to searching is going [00:10:18.649] to limit that down for them. So they'll see what we have [00:10:20.719] available here. [00:10:25.710] Now, keeping with filters, but moving away [00:10:27.927] from the student facing filters a little bit, number [00:10:29.989] seven is going to be browsing [00:10:32.330] and searching through standards. So for [00:10:34.340] educators looking to really integrate this into [00:10:36.460] their classroom to make sure they do have [00:10:38.609] access, [00:10:40.859] they can browse or search standards. [00:10:43.259] And we do include both N G S s and common [00:10:45.580] core standards in here. So they [00:10:47.590] will be able to take a look at either one whichever [00:10:49.940] they need [00:10:51.460] and they can use this to filter [00:10:53.769] specifically to standards. You'll see, I've pulled [00:10:55.778] forward all of the standards listed or [00:10:58.177] they can actually use the search bar to search [00:11:00.500] for a specific standard. So if they [00:11:02.557] have one specifically in [00:11:04.590] mind that they want to take a look at they'll be able [00:11:06.820] to do here. [00:11:09.090] So give me one quick second [00:11:13.129] to jump back over. [00:11:17.750] There we go back to our page here. [00:11:21.840] Sorry, give me a second here everyone. [00:11:25.269] There we go. Sorry. My screen shot off on [00:11:27.330] me for a second. I think it saved for you guys, [00:11:29.450] but not for me. Um [00:11:31.158] But here we go. So we're back on this page. [00:11:33.710] Remember I got here just by filtering. [00:11:36.479] So I'm going to take off the filter I chose. [00:11:38.710] So I'm looking at all of my activities. So [00:11:40.989] down here on this left hand side, [00:11:43.200] you'll see we have our two options here for our standards. [00:11:45.719] Our common core and our N G S [00:11:47.739] s have been pulled out separately and [00:11:49.859] you'll say you'll see these stay collapsed. [00:11:52.038] So they don't automatically open like these other sections [00:11:54.719] just because students of course, will most likely [00:11:56.879] not need to use these. So we pull [00:11:58.950] them down to kind of hide [00:12:00.979] them, but they are here for teachers and they can [00:12:03.090] drop it down and you'll see they can choose whichever [00:12:05.399] standard they're interested in [00:12:07.989] in each of our entries. You'll see our tag with [00:12:10.048] the standards as well. We have our standard [00:12:12.389] here. This is the N G S S standard, of course. [00:12:15.080] And then you'll see we have the common core standards [00:12:17.288] listed here along with it. [00:12:19.489] And again, as I mentioned, not only can they [00:12:21.788] browse for whatever standard they're looking [00:12:24.028] for. They can also search. So I have [00:12:26.427] one already pulled up here that I can paste. [00:12:28.729] So I have my standard here. I'm going to run [00:12:30.869] my search [00:12:32.460] and you'll see it's going to pull forward everything related [00:12:34.927] to that one specific standard. So [00:12:37.259] if they don't want to browse if they have their standard [00:12:39.519] ready to go, they don't even need to leave the home [00:12:41.548] page. Just type their standard, their full [00:12:43.729] standard into the search and it's going to pull it forward [00:12:46.099] for them and they can start clicking through and [00:12:48.158] deciding what they want to use. You'll see we [00:12:50.229] have quite a few cells and [00:12:52.418] cell parts that are related to the specific [00:12:54.759] standard. [00:12:58.440] Now let's move away from filtering a little bit [00:13:00.460] here. So we took a look at how we can filter [00:13:02.519] by subject as well as by standard. [00:13:05.408] Now let's talk about linking [00:13:07.460] and accessing our activities for teachers. [00:13:09.639] So number six is going to be linking [00:13:12.019] directly to an activity. [00:13:14.950] So we can link either to just the activity [00:13:17.408] in general. So you just want students to click [00:13:19.557] into that, we can link that. [00:13:22.399] And excuse me, allowing [00:13:24.408] that link to activity is going to be at the very beginning [00:13:27.080] of the activity. So the starting slide [00:13:29.739] and they can also link to individual [00:13:31.940] slides. So they can choose, [00:13:34.219] I don't know, maybe slide four is where they want students [00:13:36.519] to start and where they want them to take a look at, [00:13:38.668] they can start right there [00:13:41.340] on that specific slide and [00:13:43.469] get going. And this is really great [00:13:45.500] if your teachers are using a learning [00:13:47.538] management system maybe and they want [00:13:49.658] to get this information out to them, they can just [00:13:51.677] copy that link, paste it wherever they want to go. [00:13:53.759] And students can access also [00:13:55.798] great to maybe put it in a syllabus or [00:13:58.229] a rubric for a project they're going to be doing. [00:14:00.649] It's a nice way to get students engaged [00:14:02.778] in the information. [00:14:09.210] So to do that, we're just going to click into one [00:14:11.320] of these [00:14:13.048] activities, we'll just click the first one cell [00:14:15.269] nucleus. [00:14:17.239] And as that's loading here, [00:14:19.109] you'll see down here underneath the, the title [00:14:21.580] and the description of the activity, [00:14:23.739] you're going to see the option to share. But [00:14:26.038] right next to that, you see, we have a link to activity [00:14:28.519] or we can link to slide here. So [00:14:30.788] clicking link to activity, you'll see, I just get [00:14:32.859] this basic link and this is [00:14:34.960] a permanent link. So you're not going [00:14:37.149] to have to worry about it breaking or something like that. [00:14:39.259] As long as you your learning [00:14:41.460] community has access to this resource, [00:14:43.677] this link is going to work for you and [00:14:45.719] this is just going to pull me here to the very beginning [00:14:48.139] of this activity. [00:14:50.190] If I click link to slide, which is right [00:14:52.200] next door to that, [00:14:53.769] that's going to pull me to a specific slide. So [00:14:55.927] it's going to be the same because I'm on the first slide. [00:14:58.528] But if I move it, you'll see here, this [00:15:00.729] has changed. [00:15:02.509] So I can find the specific part of this [00:15:04.729] activity I think is the most important [00:15:07.658] and we can take a look at that. Maybe we wanna talk about ribosomes, [00:15:10.320] we can just go directly to that [00:15:12.500] section, copy and paste this wherever [00:15:14.788] students want to go [00:15:16.070] and they will be able to click back and forth. [00:15:18.158] So even though they're started on this one side, [00:15:20.399] if they want to take a look back, they can do that, [00:15:22.739] it's still going to have this nice functionality. [00:15:25.139] It's actually going to look just like this [00:15:27.389] as soon as we able to click it and they'll still still see [00:15:29.538] this reference material here as well [00:15:31.759] if they want to take a look at that. [00:15:38.969] Now, in keeping with sharing activities [00:15:41.489] with students, my number five [00:15:43.750] tool is going to be getting teachers [00:15:45.869] to use that Google classroom integration [00:15:49.129] and we are fully integrated. So you [00:15:51.288] will be able to click into your Google [00:15:53.570] classroom button and do exactly [00:15:55.677] whatever you need to do. So you'll be able to create an assignments, [00:15:58.389] um make an announcement, I believe a discussion [00:16:00.918] board post is another option. Whatever you [00:16:03.019] can do in the native Google classroom interface, [00:16:05.307] you'll be able to do with this nice little pop up [00:16:07.450] that happens here. Anytime you're clicking [00:16:09.649] into an activity [00:16:12.080] and this is linked to all of our activities. So [00:16:14.298] whatever you're trying to get access to your students [00:16:16.389] will be able to see. So let's take another [00:16:18.557] quick look, I'm going to just stay on [00:16:20.700] the same activity that I was on before [00:16:22.759] here [00:16:23.769] and it's that the same spot as your link to option [00:16:26.139] here. [00:16:27.038] But it's under share. [00:16:29.038] You see when I select, share my Google classroom [00:16:31.080] icon is right here. [00:16:33.908] I'm already signed in. If you weren't signed in, it [00:16:36.019] would just prompt you to sign in. [00:16:38.109] I can choose my class, [00:16:40.528] I'll be able to choose my action. We [00:16:42.807] can create an assignment. [00:16:44.149] I'm not going to go through all of this. Of course, it takes [00:16:46.200] some time. [00:16:47.090] But you'll see, you'll be able to do this and it provides [00:16:49.369] this link for students. They'll be able to click, right? [00:16:51.389] And then they'll be able to take a look at wherever you [00:16:53.427] are. But once you assign [00:16:55.649] it, you can just close out and you stay here [00:16:57.729] on the native platform. So if you're planning [00:16:59.869] on maybe assigning more than one activity, [00:17:02.190] you can just start to go through and send whatever you [00:17:04.259] need to into your Google classroom. [00:17:06.347] This is a, a great way to do that. [00:17:13.880] So moving forward here, number four [00:17:18.019] is going to be our human anatomy contents [00:17:20.459] and I will mention these last [00:17:22.660] four [00:17:23.689] tips are all going to be content [00:17:25.910] focused. So they're going to be some different [00:17:27.959] bits of content that are really helpful for [00:17:30.199] students. So number four is [00:17:32.327] our human anatomy content [00:17:34.910] and that your students are able to browse [00:17:36.989] or search just like with any activity. [00:17:39.180] But they can also narrow it down based on system. [00:17:42.150] And our activities include full [00:17:44.509] system overview. So like the digestive [00:17:46.689] system, if they're learning about that, just in general, [00:17:48.890] they'll be able to navigate to that region [00:17:51.229] focused activities. So you'll see here [00:17:53.308] in my screenshot. If they just want to explore [00:17:55.617] the la, if they want to take a look at the muscles, the [00:17:57.699] bones, [00:17:59.259] you know, the veins, all that good stuff, [00:18:01.479] just in that one section, they'll be [00:18:03.500] able to do that or they can search [00:18:05.857] by a specific object. So maybe they [00:18:07.939] want to take a look at a bone or the heart [00:18:10.250] or lungs, they'll be able to [00:18:12.347] do that as well. So it's a really nice way to [00:18:14.400] help them narrow down to exactly what they're looking [00:18:16.489] for. Because of course, different [00:18:18.567] anatomy classes are taught in different ways. Some [00:18:20.650] are more focused on learning by region, [00:18:23.219] some are more focused on learning by system. [00:18:26.269] They'll be able to choose which they prefer to do [00:18:28.449] and still get great content no matter which way [00:18:30.528] they're accessing. [00:18:32.650] So let's go ahead and get to our anatomy content. [00:18:35.250] I'm going to do that just by jumping back to [00:18:37.278] the home page, [00:18:40.380] scrolling down to our human anatomy section. [00:18:43.867] I'm just going to view all of them [00:18:45.759] so we can take a look here. [00:18:48.689] So now that I've pulled this forward here again, as I mentioned, [00:18:51.058] we have different options. So you'll [00:18:53.259] see, I have things like the brain or bone listed [00:18:55.308] here. We have a full digestive [00:18:57.327] system. As I mentioned, if we're looking for [00:18:59.390] specific regions we have [00:19:01.607] elbow, wrist and hand that's going to pull forward [00:19:03.670] the muscles, the bones, the vascular [00:19:06.250] situation, all that good stuff [00:19:08.410] right here. You'll see, we also have our digestive [00:19:10.489] system [00:19:12.489] and I can select to view more and we can really get [00:19:14.650] into some pretty um pretty [00:19:16.709] in depth information here. So you'll see, I can [00:19:18.778] click into my heart here who want [00:19:20.939] to take a look at this [00:19:23.009] and this will be just fully focused [00:19:25.097] on that heart. You'll see my reference material [00:19:27.229] here, but students will be able to access [00:19:29.548] that this and get a really nice look [00:19:31.617] at whatever they're learning about here [00:19:34.469] and see if we can move that forward. [00:19:37.489] So this is another great option if [00:19:39.890] your learning community right now doesn't have access [00:19:42.410] to those expensive scientific [00:19:44.769] models. So students don't really have anything [00:19:46.788] to pull apart right now. They can pull apart [00:19:49.130] on this. They can take a look at whatever [00:19:52.019] um organ they're taking a look at, they can [00:19:54.509] navigate around, they can zoom in, [00:19:56.567] they can zoom out, you'll see everything is labeled [00:19:58.650] here. [00:19:59.519] So this is allowing them [00:20:02.189] to really manipulate whatever they're learning [00:20:04.199] about if they don't have access to something [00:20:06.337] physical. [00:20:07.528] And honestly, a lot of students prefer something [00:20:09.607] on the computer via something physi versus [00:20:12.479] something physical as well, just because it's a little [00:20:14.670] more interactive and they're going to kind [00:20:16.798] of see how things piece together nicely. [00:20:24.038] And as in all of our activities at [00:20:26.067] the very end here, we do include quizzes. [00:20:28.680] You see this one is asking them to reas [00:20:31.107] reassemble the four chambers of their hearts. [00:20:33.750] A lot of them will have multiple choice questions [00:20:36.439] or labeling questions as [00:20:38.449] well. So those are always included in these [00:20:40.500] activities too. These are great um [00:20:43.150] just refreshers to make sure students know what [00:20:45.439] they're learning, they aren't recorded. [00:20:48.000] So teachers won't be able to access those, but [00:20:50.140] they're great for self study for students. [00:20:55.117] So now I'm moving on from our human [00:20:57.199] anatomy content. Number three is going to be [00:20:59.597] our cycle activities and sometimes these are [00:21:01.689] a little bit lost in the resource just because [00:21:03.719] we have so many other great bits of information. [00:21:05.837] But this is really helpful for students [00:21:07.989] who are learning some of those more complex [00:21:10.180] cycles. So things like mitosis [00:21:12.308] and meiosis photosynthesis or [00:21:14.439] if we're talking about geology, the rock cycle [00:21:16.479] or the water cycle, they'll find all of this [00:21:18.577] content available to them. [00:21:20.509] And I like to think of these as a nice visual [00:21:22.969] supplements. So most likely they're going to be [00:21:25.048] learning these topics [00:21:27.229] together in class first. And [00:21:29.489] as they learn those, they can take a visual look [00:21:31.558] at that to kind of understand this is really beneficial [00:21:34.150] for those more difficult topics like [00:21:36.548] photosynthesis. Where there's a lot of steps, there's [00:21:38.729] a lot of moving parts, there's a lot of different [00:21:40.900] structures involved. Students [00:21:43.317] would be able to really easily navigate through [00:21:45.449] and take a look at that. [00:21:48.739] And for me, the best way to access [00:21:50.817] those is to just run a search. So if we search [00:21:53.199] for mitosis, [00:21:55.449] instead of browsing, [00:21:57.670] you'll see here, I pulled this forward [00:21:59.939] and these look just a little bit different here [00:22:02.097] here. Let me this up. [00:22:04.410] Since it's a process, we've kind of organized [00:22:06.650] it a little bit to where it looks like [00:22:08.827] steps instead of just having one kind [00:22:11.028] of main thing here, you'll [00:22:13.219] see, we've got like this little wheel type situation [00:22:15.769] that's showing all of the different steps of mitosis [00:22:18.209] here. And I'm just bringing that in really [00:22:20.500] close. Let's go ahead and start this. Let me take [00:22:22.660] a look. So the activity itself [00:22:24.890] is going to allow students to kind of click [00:22:26.930] through. [00:22:27.930] So they're going to see each of the phases of mitosis. [00:22:30.170] It's going to give them some pretty detailed [00:22:32.250] information here [00:22:35.558] and step by step, [00:22:37.130] they're kind of going to learn. So again, [00:22:39.160] most likely they're learning this with [00:22:41.278] their teacher kind of in class before they get [00:22:43.390] going, but this is giving them that more visual [00:22:46.028] access points and [00:22:48.117] this is still has the ability [00:22:50.439] to be pulled apart here. [00:22:53.000] So if students want to pull things apart, they certainly [00:22:55.288] can [00:22:56.150] kind of get a really nice understanding [00:22:58.199] of what they're looking at. You'll see it is labeled [00:23:00.380] here as well [00:23:01.949] to really help students. And then you'll see at the [00:23:04.048] very end, [00:23:05.117] we're starting to build together our two cells. [00:23:11.930] Now, another type of [00:23:13.949] cycle is going to be something that's a little [00:23:15.969] bit more on the macroscopic scale, [00:23:18.250] something like the rock cycle and that looks [00:23:20.278] a little bit different. So let's search [00:23:23.729] I can for the rock cycle and you can kind [00:23:25.759] of see what that's going to look like. That [00:23:27.900] one is a little bit more visual in the sense that [00:23:29.959] you're going to see um [00:23:32.380] what's going on in the world around you. Of course, you can't [00:23:34.420] really do that with cells, which is why we have [00:23:36.607] that little carousel look to them. But [00:23:38.778] if we're talking about something that's at that microscopic [00:23:40.959] level, we are still trying to make it [00:23:43.077] as interesting and as visual as [00:23:45.087] possible here. So you'll see, we've got each [00:23:47.219] of the steps of the rock cycle and [00:23:49.298] just like with mitosis, I can click through [00:23:51.400] here [00:23:52.750] and I'll be able to walk through each of the steps. [00:23:55.048] Nice and simply, [00:23:58.920] so let's jump back here. We're getting close to the end [00:24:00.969] of our time. [00:24:02.180] So I wanna make sure we hit everything. So number two [00:24:04.778] is our dissection alternatives [00:24:06.798] and I was a biology teacher before I came to [00:24:08.900] Gale. So I always found this [00:24:10.979] really interesting as we started to click [00:24:13.239] through. [00:24:14.035] So these can replace in person dissection. [00:24:16.314] They're great for virtual [00:24:18.913] learning. If you still have a lot of students who are learning [00:24:21.232] in a hybrid situation or a virtual situation, [00:24:24.134] They don't need to be on campus to dissect [00:24:26.604] something they can do that right here on this platform. [00:24:29.334] Also great for budget constraints. If [00:24:31.364] you aren't able to purchase frogs, [00:24:33.942] fetal pigs, owl pellets, [00:24:36.074] whatever it is, we have [00:24:38.153] those on this resource. So you can direct [00:24:40.255] students to this instead. [00:24:41.920] Also great for students who are uncomfortable [00:24:44.000] with this section. Of course, there are a lot of students [00:24:46.077] who just [00:24:47.048] don't feel like they can cut into, [00:24:50.337] you know, a physical specimen. [00:24:52.558] So they can use this instead, they'll still be able [00:24:54.587] to see each piece of [00:24:56.939] of the puzzle, each piece of the organism, [00:24:59.130] but they won't have to touch it. They won't have to smell [00:25:01.180] it. It can kind of get them in a better situation [00:25:03.739] to take a look. [00:25:07.189] So now to get to these, I can search here. So [00:25:09.317] if I may um going [00:25:11.630] to dissect frogs, I can search frogs. [00:25:13.969] But I think it's really beneficial if you're trying [00:25:15.979] to find a specific animal [00:25:18.150] to go back to our filtering options, [00:25:20.689] go under biology and hit zoology. [00:25:23.038] That's going to show all of our animals. [00:25:26.077] So, you'll see here. We have a lot of different [00:25:28.250] animals, but we do have some of the more popular [00:25:31.357] dissection animals. So [00:25:33.670] a cat we have here, an earthworm. [00:25:35.857] We have a full frog and enemy. We do have [00:25:38.048] a fetal pig here, [00:25:40.180] scrolling down. You'll see. We go on and on [00:25:42.317] here. We do have an owl pellet [00:25:44.420] there it is. We do have an owl pellet here [00:25:46.670] as well. So if you can't afford the [00:25:48.680] owl pellets, but you still want students to be able to [00:25:50.719] kind of [00:25:51.949] dig in and see what they can find. [00:25:54.140] They can certainly do that on this platform here [00:25:56.367] as well. We do have the owl pellet listed, [00:25:59.219] but you see a lot of other things that [00:26:01.278] typically you wouldn't have access to, even [00:26:03.380] if you had the funds. You know, most likely [00:26:05.519] you won't be able to get jellyfish into your school [00:26:07.808] to dissect or you won't be able to get a mahi mahi [00:26:10.150] into your school. So this [00:26:12.229] is a really nice alternative and it's a way for [00:26:14.317] students to see different things [00:26:16.577] that are out there in that world. They're going to see [00:26:18.587] different types of anatomy because of course, it varies [00:26:20.910] wildly. [00:26:22.469] So you'll see if they can pull this apart, [00:26:25.087] they can zoom in here. [00:26:27.130] Now, you'll see, we have [00:26:28.617] all of this great info right [00:26:30.817] here. [00:26:31.930] And again, they can kind of drag to wherever [00:26:34.130] they want to go. So if they want to specifically look [00:26:36.327] here, they can certainly do that [00:26:38.327] and they'll still be able to walk through and have everything [00:26:40.607] pointed out to them. [00:26:44.689] So we get another great feature also just [00:26:46.729] great for students who are just, you know, interested [00:26:49.097] in animals in general. They can take a look [00:26:51.337] at this and whatever they're interested, maybe they want to learn about [00:26:53.469] birds, what birds look like. They can take a look [00:26:55.538] at this at pigeon. If they're interested [00:26:57.949] in bugs, you'll see, we have caterpillar, butterflies, [00:27:00.644] mosquitoes, [00:27:02.144] you'll see, we also have a human evolution [00:27:04.275] option here as well. So we want to [00:27:06.324] have a more visual look [00:27:08.354] at human evolution. We do have something prebuilt [00:27:10.555] for that listed under zoology [00:27:13.394] if students are looking for something like that. [00:27:16.759] Now, number one here and [00:27:18.769] this, you know, there could be an argument that [00:27:20.867] this be number one versus two or three [00:27:22.959] since these are all kind of content focused. But [00:27:25.219] I have chosen to make number one our interactive [00:27:27.890] periodic table and this periodic [00:27:30.250] table is completely [00:27:33.250] editable, completely clickable. And [00:27:35.420] your students will be able to see periodic trends, [00:27:37.969] elemental information, electron [00:27:40.130] configurations if they're taking a look at that. [00:27:42.847] So it's a really simple way to access all [00:27:45.000] of this information. And as I'm clicking over [00:27:47.288] to this, I have a little story for [00:27:49.390] you. So when I was in school, [00:27:51.680] I had a really, really hard time remembering [00:27:54.150] periodic trends like real, it was like [00:27:56.259] my Achilles Heel. [00:27:57.640] I just could not do it for whatever reason. [00:27:59.959] And I had a periodic table in my book [00:28:02.357] and I had that spot bookmarked and I had [00:28:04.538] all of the trends written on it. So I remember every [00:28:06.630] time I needed to remember something, I had [00:28:08.837] to pull up my book, find that page [00:28:11.509] and then do whatever I was doing. So the page [00:28:13.617] was ruined, it was ripped. You know, I always had [00:28:15.750] this big heavy book with me. It was just [00:28:17.880] a pain throughout my whole year. [00:28:20.278] So this replaces that. [00:28:22.489] So once it loads up, I will say the periodic table [00:28:25.117] is a lot more involved. [00:28:27.269] So sometimes it does take a second for it to load. [00:28:29.567] So tell your, tell your students just [00:28:31.587] to give it a second because it's a lot of information [00:28:34.028] that they're going to have access to here. [00:28:37.587] But there we go. So this is our periodic table [00:28:39.719] here. So you'll see, it's really completely [00:28:42.729] editable. [00:28:43.857] I can click on any of my. [00:28:46.048] Here we go elements. [00:28:48.180] If I'm interested in elements, you'll see here. It gives me [00:28:50.269] all of the information, but we'll see [00:28:52.469] what the actual element itself looks [00:28:54.617] like, which is just so handy. You'll see [00:28:56.778] we even have electron shells available [00:28:59.347] for students. Who are starting to learn at that level. [00:29:03.577] But on this left hand side here, this [00:29:05.890] is what really kind of excites me. [00:29:08.519] You'll see some different trends here. [00:29:10.597] So if we want to learn about electron negativity, [00:29:12.837] I think that was most likely the the worst one for [00:29:14.880] me, I can click that electron negativity [00:29:17.630] option [00:29:18.538] and you'll see, it gives me kind of this [00:29:20.597] this visual [00:29:22.798] look here. So you'll see the trend here, [00:29:26.699] just go back over here and [00:29:28.750] it works with atomic number as well. So you'll see [00:29:32.038] things that go up, things that go down, [00:29:34.577] atomic weight is listed here as well [00:29:36.778] as boiling and melting points. [00:29:39.607] And again, I had just the hardest [00:29:41.630] time with this. So the thought of [00:29:43.670] students being able to just have this ready [00:29:45.910] on demand, pull it up and they'll be [00:29:47.989] able to do whatever activity they're working on. [00:29:50.357] is pretty incredible, they'll be able [00:29:52.519] to click through and see that whenever they need [00:29:54.689] it, whatever they need, they'll be able to access [00:29:57.000] right here on this platform. [00:29:59.209] So keep this in mind for your chemistry teachers. [00:30:01.617] The introduction is [00:30:03.689] what I like to mention the interactive periodic [00:30:05.910] table introduction. We do have [00:30:07.959] other activities involving the periodic table [00:30:10.229] as they start to go through different element types [00:30:12.317] and things like that. But this introduction [00:30:14.509] is really just the base like the base model, [00:30:17.048] let them do whatever they need to and they'll just [00:30:19.219] always have access to it. [00:30:23.817] Now, those are our top 10 kind [00:30:26.107] of tips, tricks ideas. Of [00:30:28.229] course, there's many more, but those are the ones [00:30:30.337] we've decided to pull forward today. I [00:30:32.400] do have some wrap up information for you. [00:30:34.479] It looks like we're just at our time but [00:30:36.837] if you have additional questions, feel free to [00:30:38.910] reach out to your customer success manager [00:30:41.038] at gale.customersuccess@cengage.com [00:30:43.087] you'll be forwarded to the correct individual. [00:30:45.597] So if you maybe need some additional information [00:30:48.009] about the resource or want to dig deeper, they'll [00:30:50.337] be able to help you out if you don't have access [00:30:52.729] to this resource right now, but you're interested and [00:30:55.019] you don't know who your sales consultant is. You [00:30:57.077] can, you can access [00:30:59.150] support.gale.com/repfinder [00:31:01.400] and it'll forward you along to the correct individual [00:31:04.140] or if you already know who it is, just send them an email. [00:31:06.449] They, I'm sure they love to hear from you [00:31:09.250] and we do have quite a bit of support and training [00:31:11.449] material created for you already [00:31:13.939] as well. So if you're planning on promoting this information [00:31:16.567] to your science department or to your science [00:31:18.750] students, we have some premade information [00:31:21.327] for you. If you go on our support site, which is support.gale.com [00:31:23.699] So take a look [00:31:25.750] before you build any materials on your own. We don't [00:31:27.910] want you to reinvent the wheel. We could have something [00:31:30.048] premade that's going to help you out. [00:31:32.150] And I do have a session survey if you have the time [00:31:34.410] to take it. I know we went over it by [00:31:36.449] two minutes today. So I am sorry about that. [00:31:38.607] But if you do have the time, I have a QR code [00:31:40.808] here or it does open in your browser once [00:31:42.900] you close out of our webinar today. [00:31:45.719] And I haven't seen any questions come in here, [00:31:48.259] so I'll go ahead and end this session and I do appreciate [00:31:50.577] everyone for being on the line today and [00:31:52.778] hopefully we'll see you in future sessions. [00:31:54.798] Bye bye now.
