[00:00:04.908] Welcome to our session today. [00:00:06.980] We're going to be exploring the new enhancements [00:00:09.489] to Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee's Academy. [00:00:11.698] My name is Amber Winters and I am [00:00:13.890] a senior training consultant here at Gale and [00:00:15.929] I'll be walking you through the resource today. [00:00:18.870] So a brief agenda, of course, first, [00:00:20.978] we're going to talk about those new enhancements [00:00:23.298] where you can find them, what they're going to do [00:00:25.739] and then we're going to walk through the resource so you can [00:00:27.829] see those in action to make sure [00:00:29.859] you really get the full view of what [00:00:31.899] we've done to enhance this resource [00:00:34.819] at the very end of the session. There should be plenty [00:00:37.020] of time for any questions that I haven't been able [00:00:39.069] to answer as we move along today. [00:00:41.079] but feel free to pop the questions into the Q [00:00:43.259] and A. Whenever you think of them throughout the session, [00:00:45.310] I should be able to answer them kind of as we walk [00:00:47.389] through and I will have some wrap [00:00:49.459] up information as well as some context for [00:00:51.490] you at the very end of the session as well. [00:00:54.000] So let's go ahead and dive right in. So if you're [00:00:56.079] new to Miss Humble Bee's Academy, I want to just give [00:00:58.279] you three points to kind of orient you [00:01:00.329] before we talk about our enhancement. So first [00:01:02.520] off, this is designed to support kindergarten [00:01:05.000] readiness. So this is designed specifically [00:01:07.150] for kids age 3 to 6 and [00:01:09.319] we do align it to both preschool [00:01:11.370] and elementary standards. So it is pre [00:01:13.638] aligned for your users. The content [00:01:15.980] is cross curricular, everything from [00:01:18.180] excuse me, language, letters [00:01:20.698] numbers, social studies, [00:01:22.739] social, emotional learning, as well [00:01:24.838] as health. We have some really great exercise videos [00:01:27.028] in here and this platform does [00:01:29.109] allow for either guided or customizable [00:01:31.680] learning pathways. So it's [00:01:33.939] pre designed to guide learners, [00:01:36.000] both Children and their parents through [00:01:38.638] this platform going through each of the different lessons [00:01:41.000] and activities. But your users [00:01:43.129] do have the capability to kind of navigate how [00:01:45.299] they want to as well. [00:01:47.338] So that's Miss Humble Bee's Academy [00:01:49.349] in a nutshell, but we are focused [00:01:51.359] specifically on enhancements today. So let's [00:01:53.448] go ahead and start talking about those. [00:01:55.519] So our first enhancement is going to be an [00:01:57.528] improved navigation bar on the bottom [00:01:59.680] of the page. You'll see. I've pulled it forward here [00:02:01.900] for you. Previously, this navigation [00:02:04.109] bar was broken into different subjects. So [00:02:06.209] you'll find math and science literacy, [00:02:09.118] social emotional learning. We've decided [00:02:11.300] to change that up and now it's broken into [00:02:13.610] the different content types. So instead [00:02:15.669] of seeing [00:02:17.210] math, they're going to see videos. [00:02:19.368] If they want to take a look at a video. If they wanted to [00:02:21.419] read an ebook, we've pulled those out. We've [00:02:23.679] pulled out a teach me section as well. [00:02:25.969] So we've decided to organize it in a different manner [00:02:28.618] so users can make sure they're finding all [00:02:30.639] of the information they need all of the, the [00:02:32.710] specific content types. [00:02:35.580] We've added quite a few new on demand [00:02:37.659] lessons here as well. You see, I've pulled forward [00:02:39.819] just a few [00:02:40.899] and all of these are going to be teacher led. They're [00:02:42.960] still generally very, very short. Some [00:02:45.460] a lot are less than a minute. Even [00:02:47.960] you'll see some are just focused on circles [00:02:50.118] or triangles. So we've pulled all [00:02:52.250] of those forward into the teach me tab now. [00:02:54.618] So young kids who are coming [00:02:56.649] in taking a look at this, they'll be able to see [00:02:59.110] an actual individual, you know, writing out letters [00:03:01.618] or running through a, a quick science experiment. [00:03:04.360] They'll be able to take a look at that right here on this platform. [00:03:08.639] And our third enhancement that I'll mention today [00:03:10.719] is going to be our new Spanish content and [00:03:12.808] this is actually still a, a work [00:03:14.849] in progress. But right now, we've created [00:03:17.229] Span Spanish language principles. [00:03:19.338] So the principles that have always been on this platform, [00:03:21.979] we've added in some Spanish version, [00:03:24.219] some Spanish translations to those. So [00:03:26.338] your students, I'm sorry, your learners and [00:03:28.819] their parents can download print that content [00:03:31.278] right off the platform, just like they would the [00:03:33.528] English version [00:03:35.368] and we currently have Spanish [00:03:37.409] video captions and Spanish ebooks [00:03:39.580] on their way. So we're currently working on those. [00:03:42.118] They haven't made it into this launch, but they [00:03:44.129] are in process and will be out here as well. [00:03:46.250] So those will add to the Spanish language [00:03:48.460] content that we have found here within this resource. [00:03:54.118] Now, I really want to show you how these enhancements [00:03:56.319] function and how your users are going to be able to navigate [00:03:58.770] through them. I will ask as I'm switching [00:04:01.008] over here any questions before we just [00:04:03.058] dive right into the platform. [00:04:07.649] OK? I don't see any. So [00:04:09.669] I'm going to just start off here on the main sign [00:04:11.750] in page at Miss Humble Academy. You'll [00:04:13.819] notice this hasn't changed at all. [00:04:15.949] They'll still be able to either create their [00:04:18.048] own account or use guest accounts, whichever [00:04:20.129] they prefer. I will just briefly mention, [00:04:22.329] I always suggest having your users, [00:04:24.500] your parents, your kids create [00:04:26.509] their own account that way it will save their progress [00:04:29.129] and they'll be able to save their rewards and things [00:04:31.350] like that. I already have an account. So [00:04:33.410] let me sign in really quickly here. [00:04:39.040] Again, nothing's changed on this front. This is still [00:04:41.079] the same. You'll be able to choose your student. If [00:04:43.439] you have parents coming in with more than one child, [00:04:46.470] they'll be able to choose whichever. So we'll go ahead and click [00:04:48.678] into Blair today. [00:04:52.358] I'm going to skip this [00:04:55.230] and I'm going to start here. Actually, at the beginning, [00:04:57.689] you'll see it kind of drop me off where I ended [00:05:00.410] within my learning pathway. But let's start at the beginning. [00:05:02.649] So we can see, Miss Humble be here. So, [00:05:04.709] just like before you'll see, I still have my [00:05:06.750] stepping stones that are going to tell me what lessons [00:05:09.048] I should complete. I can click into any [00:05:11.100] of those at any time. [00:05:12.778] Once they're completed, they turn red. [00:05:16.108] You'll see there's quite a few. If they're not completed [00:05:18.338] here, you'll see. This is the last one I ended at. So this [00:05:20.420] is what I need to start with. [00:05:24.059] But that process stays the same [00:05:26.449] again down below. This is the biggest [00:05:28.829] change in this resource here, our toolbar. [00:05:31.209] So we still have this my learning. I don't have [00:05:33.290] any customized learning set up. So I'm not going [00:05:35.369] to click into that. We do still have that here. [00:05:38.238] Our choose a lesson now is going to house [00:05:40.819] every content type that these [00:05:43.019] kids have access to. So if I click [00:05:45.329] into choose a lesson here, this [00:05:47.379] is a pretty substantial page with [00:05:49.488] a lot of content. So sometimes it takes just a second [00:05:51.869] to load. But when I click into that here, [00:05:55.199] it's going to show me every lesson I have [00:05:57.379] and we break it up based on content types. [00:05:59.439] You'll see ebooks here and [00:06:01.819] then our ebooks are broken into those subjects. [00:06:04.428] Underneath are those teach me videos? Again, [00:06:06.798] those are teacher led, instructor led, [00:06:09.189] you'll see they are broken down into things like letters [00:06:11.500] and letter sounds, numbers listed here as [00:06:13.670] well. And then underneath [00:06:16.230] that, we have our music and videos. So [00:06:18.278] these are specifically, of [00:06:20.649] course music and um [00:06:23.459] excuse me instrumental. So these aren't going to [00:06:25.509] be, those teach me videos, these aren't going to be [00:06:27.600] instructor led. These are going to be [00:06:29.629] more um [00:06:30.988] just pre creative videos and [00:06:33.559] music videos and things [00:06:35.588] like that underneath [00:06:37.988] that scroll down here, we have [00:06:40.139] all of our steam content. And previously, this [00:06:42.329] was only found in the dashboard. You actually [00:06:44.379] had to exit out of the classroom to take a look [00:06:46.449] at this and this is our offline curriculum [00:06:48.899] here. So your kiddos can take [00:06:51.019] a look at this. Now, instead of having to have parents [00:06:53.170] go into the dashboard to find them. So [00:06:55.500] they can take a look and see. Wow, this Spider [00:06:57.519] Counter Graft is really cool. Mom and dad can we [00:06:59.608] print this off and do this at home? [00:07:01.769] We've put that right here. So the [00:07:03.850] kids can access it now so they can kind of continue [00:07:06.170] to navigate even off the platform. [00:07:08.449] And then at the very bottom here [00:07:10.488] that, that we've included our principles as [00:07:12.629] well. So again, these principles were [00:07:14.738] initially just found on the dashboard where parents [00:07:17.170] could access them or whatever adult is handling [00:07:19.470] this m Humble Be's account. [00:07:21.199] They're now here for kids to look at again [00:07:23.470] as well, so they can take a look at these whenever they want [00:07:25.790] to. So [00:07:28.459] again, this choose a lesson section is [00:07:30.608] really broad and contains [00:07:32.889] every bit of content that kids can choose [00:07:35.019] to click into. So this is really [00:07:37.088] great if maybe they don't know what they want to take [00:07:39.170] a look at or maybe parents just kind of want to see [00:07:41.639] overall what sort of content we have in [00:07:43.699] this resource. This choose a lesson is a good [00:07:45.959] way to go because they can really just browse through everything [00:07:49.959] next to choose a lesson. We do still have [00:07:51.980] the About me section and this is where [00:07:54.000] your kiddos can customize their avatar. [00:07:56.329] You'll see here, we can choose clothing [00:07:58.838] color, all that great stuff here. [00:08:01.678] This is also where progress reports are found. [00:08:04.338] So if they want to see where they are within their lessons, [00:08:06.759] they can take a look at that. [00:08:08.619] Rewards are still found here as well. Remember [00:08:10.980] as students complete different lessons [00:08:13.100] and different activities, they'll be rewarded [00:08:15.269] with a few different types of rewards. So [00:08:17.290] we do still list them under the about me section [00:08:19.759] here. And [00:08:21.949] now moving on from this, about me, you'll see, I have [00:08:24.048] four different options here [00:08:26.238] and each of these four options were [00:08:28.338] outlined under my choose a lesson. [00:08:30.850] So they're all listed under choose a lesson and [00:08:33.158] now they're broken out here as well. [00:08:35.469] So if kids know they want to read a book, [00:08:37.830] we do have our ebooks pulled out separately. [00:08:40.109] You'll see, just like with that, choose a lesson [00:08:42.308] section. It is broken down by subjects [00:08:44.908] you'll see here, career exploration, friend, [00:08:47.229] friendship, and social skills, [00:08:49.918] history, and civics, all that good stuff. So they'll [00:08:51.928] still be able to click into any of these and [00:08:54.149] just read through them on their own. Lots of times [00:08:56.229] they do have kind of comprehension questions [00:08:58.609] and reading questions to make [00:09:00.798] sure we're still challenging those kids [00:09:02.908] as they're reading through these ebooks. And again, [00:09:05.178] they are found right here in their own separate [00:09:07.580] section [00:09:09.330] next to ebooks. We now have a teach me section [00:09:12.330] and I, I didn't mention this but these four are replacing [00:09:14.779] the subject, options on the previous [00:09:17.119] navigation. So they're replacing [00:09:19.320] the math button, social emotional [00:09:21.330] learning. So, next to ebooks, [00:09:23.369] we have teach me [00:09:26.950] and this is going to be again, those [00:09:29.349] instructor led videos [00:09:31.830] and still they're broken up, you'll see letters, [00:09:34.038] numbers, colors, all that good stuff. [00:09:36.129] Even though these ones you'll see are images and [00:09:38.149] they're not quite like these ones where you can see [00:09:40.308] the instructor, [00:09:42.538] all of these are instructor led as [00:09:44.590] well. I'll click on one. You won't be able to hear [00:09:46.899] it. He's [00:09:49.479] not sharing my audio with you. But you'll see, [00:09:51.580] we do still have the instructor here. So this individual [00:09:54.019] is going to help them um I forgot what [00:09:56.119] I clicked into. It looks like the color red. It's going [00:09:58.129] to help them learn about the color red. [00:10:01.538] So each of these are instructor led and they're different [00:10:03.899] to instructors for each different option [00:10:06.239] here. So students will see a variety of educators [00:10:08.769] as they're clicking through this. [00:10:11.849] This is where your users are going to be [00:10:13.869] able to find these social emotional [00:10:15.908] learning videos that we added a little [00:10:18.239] bit ago. [00:10:19.308] They'll be able to find those here and they'll also find [00:10:21.450] these great befit videos. And again, [00:10:23.538] these did have their own tab previously, [00:10:25.869] but we pulled them together under this. Teach me, [00:10:28.379] they're really nice to get ST to get [00:10:30.479] users engaged again off the platform. [00:10:32.918] They're usually just one quick little [00:10:34.969] exercise. Sometimes it's a stretch. Sometimes [00:10:37.298] it's an exercise that parents can do [00:10:39.408] with their kids or parents can have their kids do just [00:10:41.479] to get them up and moving and away [00:10:43.599] from the computer for a bit. You'll see soccer [00:10:45.788] kick apple picking. It's really a nice fun [00:10:47.940] section here. [00:10:50.529] Now, moving on from this, teach me you'll [00:10:52.580] see next to that. I have music and videos. [00:10:55.798] And again, these videos that I'm clicking into are [00:10:57.849] different because they are not the instructor led [00:11:00.090] videos. All of the instructor [00:11:02.168] led are going to be found under teach me other [00:11:04.259] videos that don't have instructors touched [00:11:06.330] will be found under music and videos [00:11:09.820] again, broken up here. [00:11:12.178] You'll see. We have another social oops, [00:11:14.529] scroll down too far, another social emotional [00:11:16.979] learning section. And again, these ones [00:11:19.070] are not instructor led, which is why we've pulled them [00:11:21.090] out separately. [00:11:22.719] But kids can easily click through these to take [00:11:24.798] a look. [00:11:27.869] Scrolling down here. I do also want to point [00:11:30.009] out these songs about animals are really, really [00:11:32.149] popular. You've pulled them off forward here. [00:11:34.288] So I always recommend sharing those with [00:11:36.298] your users. They are great, [00:11:40.879] but again, broken up by subject and really simple [00:11:43.178] to find under this music and video section. [00:11:46.200] And the last tab we have available is this [00:11:48.609] steam option here. [00:11:52.250] And this again is going to be pulling forward [00:11:54.629] the offline activities that were previously [00:11:57.038] just listed in the dashboard for [00:11:59.269] parents to see. [00:12:01.219] So again, [00:12:03.750] there real kids can navigate through and [00:12:05.820] find something interesting [00:12:08.320] maybe Groundhog Day and we'll [00:12:10.369] get all of this information listed here for them. [00:12:13.529] There we go. [00:12:15.119] And at the very bottom there are print options. [00:12:17.298] So if they do bring this to their parents or again, [00:12:19.538] whatever adult is working with them through this platform [00:12:22.259] and they say I'm very interested in this. Can [00:12:24.340] we maybe print it out? We do include [00:12:26.500] it right here on this page. They can click into it and [00:12:28.570] choose what they want to print out. [00:12:31.580] Nice and simple [00:12:33.710] and again underneath that. [00:12:35.668] Oh, I'm sorry. [00:12:36.788] No. We have special interest [00:12:39.048] here and those are all included under this steam [00:12:41.450] section. [00:12:45.210] Now, are there any questions about this new navigation [00:12:47.658] at all before we move on to finding [00:12:49.849] some additional Spanish content? [00:12:55.500] OK. I don't see any questions. So let's [00:12:57.558] go ahead and move forward then. So now [00:12:59.678] I'm going to navigate out of my classroom [00:13:02.440] here. I'm going to go to my dashboard. So [00:13:04.619] same as before to do that, I click into this little [00:13:06.719] hamburger icon in the top, right. [00:13:09.298] And I just hit exit classroom [00:13:13.509] and we haven't changed the look of this at all. [00:13:15.609] It is still the same. So we still have [00:13:18.250] our managing student section [00:13:20.408] if you need to change the number of students you [00:13:22.418] have or the names of students or whatever [00:13:24.529] you need to do. [00:13:25.739] But I want to point out here, I'm going to click into [00:13:27.849] my principal practice worksheets, [00:13:32.178] which is [00:13:33.469] not easy to say principal practice worksheets. [00:13:36.359] So when I click into that here, it's going [00:13:38.369] to pull this forward and this is where we'll find [00:13:40.399] our Spanish version of these different worksheets [00:13:42.440] as well. So I click into letters [00:13:44.469] here. Let's click into that first [00:13:47.019] and I scroll down. You'll see you get both [00:13:49.090] the English version and the Spanish version. [00:13:51.190] And if it is a Spanish version, we've labeled [00:13:53.428] it as Spanish. [00:13:55.298] So they can easily see that as they're scrolling [00:13:57.349] through to make sure they get that Spanish version [00:13:59.989] of the content. [00:14:01.989] We've also got numbers here. You'll see. We [00:14:04.109] have our numbers in Spanish. Another [00:14:06.219] great one I want to point out to you are the color [00:14:08.259] practice sheets. We have those in Spanish as [00:14:10.450] well. [00:14:12.928] You just click into one so you can kind of get a feel what these [00:14:15.080] look like. [00:14:16.330] So you see, we do have them built out in Spanish [00:14:18.940] and now users can print them, download them [00:14:22.200] whatever they want to do. They can even open it on their [00:14:24.298] desktop right from here. [00:14:25.989] So we'll be able to have this content [00:14:28.308] in addition to the spa or excuse me, in [00:14:30.359] addition to the English version, they have both. [00:14:32.690] So this is a really nice option for [00:14:35.029] individuals who are trying to help kids [00:14:37.149] as they learn English. Maybe they [00:14:39.190] are native Spanish speakers to have both [00:14:41.229] versions of this document listed for them [00:14:43.538] is oftentimes helpful for them to kind of understand [00:14:45.908] and connect to the different languages together. [00:14:48.308] So we do have both versions here. You'll see sitting [00:14:50.450] next to each other and they can both be downloaded [00:14:52.798] and printed and taken wherever, [00:14:55.500] wherever kids want them to go. [00:15:03.168] And same as before I will also mention [00:15:05.200] under curriculum. You'll see we have all [00:15:07.250] of our curriculum list information listed [00:15:09.330] here. Oops [00:15:12.158] and under resources. We'll still find all [00:15:14.330] of that great content here. [00:15:18.820] So let me just return to my classroom here. [00:15:21.000] So go back to the student view [00:15:27.340] and now I will ask do we have any questions [00:15:29.379] we've been quiet today and we have quite a bit [00:15:31.408] of time to make sure everything gets answered. [00:15:33.440] So please put your your questions [00:15:35.710] in the Q and A so I can make sure I get those answered. [00:15:38.119] But those are the main enhancements [00:15:40.239] that we have created for Miss [00:15:42.399] Humble Bee's Academy. Again, as I mentioned, [00:15:44.750] we have some additional Spanish content that's [00:15:46.899] going to be pulled into the platform [00:15:49.460] soon it's currently being worked on. [00:15:51.678] So you will see that [00:15:53.639] in the near future, [00:15:58.678] we don't have any questions. So let me provide [00:16:01.000] you with some wrap up information before we leave [00:16:03.099] for the day. [00:16:04.239] So if you want some additional information [00:16:06.379] about Gale Presents: Miss Humblebee's Academy, [00:16:08.820] or maybe you want to talk about usage or something like that, [00:16:11.308] you have access to a customer success manager [00:16:13.558] who can work you through that. If you don't [00:16:15.570] know who they are, just send an email to Gale.customersuccess@cengage.com [00:16:18.048] [00:16:20.320] and we can forward you to the correct individual [00:16:22.450] and they can even walk you through the platform again. If [00:16:24.529] you need maybe another quick 30 minutes walk [00:16:26.779] through just to take a look at all of the features [00:16:29.918] if you don't have access to this resource right [00:16:31.940] now, but you want to talk to someone about it, you can reach [00:16:33.979] out to your sales consultant. If you don't [00:16:36.019] know who that is, you can just go to support.gale.com/repfinder [00:16:38.178] [00:16:40.408] [00:16:41.750] And we do already have some premade support [00:16:44.048] and training tools available for you as [00:16:46.149] well as some patron facing content. [00:16:48.308] So if you want to get this information out to your patrons, [00:16:51.090] we do have some material ready [00:16:53.119] for them. We even have activities for Miss Humble Bee's [00:16:55.250] Academy. We have a nice [00:16:57.668] brief tutorial for patrons letting them [00:16:59.729] know what Miss Humblbee's Academy is about [00:17:02.479] to find all of that content. You can just go to our support [00:17:04.680] site and that's support.gale.com.

[00:17:16.218] And I do have a session survey here if you [00:17:18.249] all have time to take it today, um [00:17:20.868] It will pop up in your browser once we're done with [00:17:22.878] the session. So you can certainly take it that way or [00:17:24.958] I have just a simple QR code here [00:17:27.038] that you can scan. [00:17:29.348] And again, I haven't seen any questions pop [00:17:31.469] up, so I'll go ahead and end our session [00:17:33.489] for the day. I appreciate everyone for being on [00:17:35.578] the line and hopefully we'll see you in [00:17:37.709] future sessions.
