[00:00:04.969] Thank you again everyone for joining. [00:00:07.030] My name is Amber Winters and I am a senior training [00:00:09.300] consultant here at Gale. And today we're [00:00:11.310] going to be talking about how you can teach ethnic [00:00:13.509] studies with your gale in context resources. [00:00:18.318] And first off today, I want to talk about some of the [00:00:20.339] different supporting content pieces that [00:00:22.370] are going to help you as you start to build your curriculum [00:00:24.629] for your classes. And I want to point out today [00:00:26.719] since we're talking about scale and context [00:00:28.798] as a whole, as opposed to just one or two of the [00:00:30.809] resources I have kept this a bit [00:00:33.020] more broad, talking more about content types [00:00:35.348] and content buckets as opposed [00:00:37.500] to very specific examples of content. [00:00:39.618] So you'll be able to kind of explore the specifics [00:00:42.020] on your own. But I'm going to give you the foundational [00:00:44.329] framework to be able to do that. [00:00:46.618] After that, we're going to talk a bit about different [00:00:48.798] strategies and tools that you can use in your classroom [00:00:50.929] classroom. So not only finding the content [00:00:53.359] but different ways that you can leverage it to best support [00:00:55.679] your students and we will have some time at the [00:00:57.770] very end of the session for any questions you have [00:01:00.060] and I have some contact information as well. [00:01:02.209] So again, since this is going to be a bit more [00:01:04.278] of a broad session covering all of the in context, [00:01:06.778] resources, if you're interested in your [00:01:09.120] particular collection and want to dive in a little [00:01:11.129] bit more on how it relates to your school and [00:01:13.159] your curriculum. [00:01:14.359] At the end of the session, I'll give you information [00:01:16.469] for your customer success manager and they can dive [00:01:18.569] in and be a little more specific. So [00:01:20.579] kind of moving forward. [00:01:22.698] And again, if you have questions as we move through [00:01:24.719] the session, feel free to put them into the Q and A [00:01:27.099] I do have it up and monitoring it and I should be [00:01:29.150] able to get everything answered. A if [00:01:31.579] not, it'll be answered at the very end of the session [00:01:33.629] here. So [00:01:36.359] first, I just want to mention all of Gale in context. [00:01:38.819] So you see here, we have a lot of resources and a lot of [00:01:40.879] different subjects. And I [00:01:42.989] personally didn't think that's great for an ethnic [00:01:45.189] studies class because we are able to bring you a holistic [00:01:47.659] approach to ethnic studies. So [00:01:49.959] you will find kind of your standard, but you would expect [00:01:52.338] things like your social studies resources, your [00:01:54.388] current events resources. [00:01:56.290] But we also have some great content for ethnic [00:01:58.489] studies in our new Gale and con context [00:02:01.069] literature. So if you're planning on [00:02:03.209] studying authors from different ethnic [00:02:05.528] groups or studying different topics [00:02:07.668] or concepts that are really applicable [00:02:09.699] to whatever you're studying. You may want to take a look [00:02:11.960] at your gale and context literature resource. [00:02:14.008] You'll find great content. [00:02:15.740] We also have two science resources that may [00:02:17.909] be a part of your collection. If they are, [00:02:20.000] don't count them out for your ethnic studies [00:02:22.288] classes because we do have a lot of great topic [00:02:24.830] pages in those resources that [00:02:26.889] cover health care discrepancies, [00:02:29.149] how different environmental um topics [00:02:32.028] are impacting different ethnic groups. So [00:02:34.258] those are available for you as well if they're in your collection [00:02:37.629] and we do have our three cross curricular resources [00:02:40.550] that most likely a lot of you currently have [00:02:42.758] access to slide scale in context, elementary [00:02:45.069] middle school and high school. [00:02:46.979] And those really give an overarching, [00:02:49.258] look at your curriculum [00:02:51.490] and overarching, look at all of the topics we have available. [00:02:53.979] And I'd like to see the these cross curricular [00:02:56.240] are more broad but just a little bit more shallow. [00:02:59.558] And as you get into these content, subject [00:03:02.038] specific resources, they're going to get deeper. [00:03:04.139] So their focus will be narrowed down, let's [00:03:06.189] say, just to us history and you'll be able to [00:03:08.210] dig a lot deeper. [00:03:10.038] So I do sometimes get questions which resource [00:03:12.360] should I start on? If you do have [00:03:14.399] the whole collection, of course, sometimes it is a little bit [00:03:16.558] overwhelming. [00:03:17.659] So I do suggest if you're a little bit overwhelmed [00:03:19.669] as we're starting through the session, maybe you're trying to follow [00:03:21.860] along in your own resources. It's sometimes [00:03:24.118] beneficial to start off with a cross curricular [00:03:26.368] resource. So if you're in the middle school [00:03:28.550] environment gale in context, middle school [00:03:30.830] and start your searching and your learning just [00:03:33.129] in that cross curricular. So you're going to get kind of [00:03:35.199] that base surface level of content. And [00:03:37.659] as you start to move forward, you may see [00:03:39.719] that you need to dive a little bit bigger. Maybe you need [00:03:41.788] some biographies on individuals [00:03:43.838] that aren't quite covering these cross curricular [00:03:46.199] resources, then you can dive deeper [00:03:48.379] into something like biography or us or world [00:03:50.399] history. So [00:03:51.770] of course, how you approach these resources in your [00:03:53.838] classroom is completely up to you. [00:03:55.710] But just a suggestion, a lot of times that cross [00:03:57.830] curricular starting point is a really nice way to [00:03:59.919] get to that. [00:04:03.460] Now, when we're specifically talking about ethnic [00:04:05.580] studies, we really cover four main topics [00:04:08.159] or main main categories that are going to support [00:04:10.278] your class. The first is going to be history [00:04:12.520] as expected. Of course, ethnic studies [00:04:14.719] doesn't just start with where we are. everything [00:04:17.298] that's impacting an ethnic group started previously [00:04:19.540] started in the history. So we've got a huge collection [00:04:21.988] of history materials that are going to help you out [00:04:24.278] followed, of course by cultures and religions. [00:04:26.639] So in addition to just the cultural [00:04:28.949] experiences of the different ethnic [00:04:31.088] groups. We also cover their religions, all [00:04:33.309] of the different religions of the world. You'll find some [00:04:35.410] great content here as well. [00:04:37.579] People, we have a huge [00:04:39.699] collection of biographies that are going to supplement [00:04:41.879] your learning. So as you're starting to go through different [00:04:44.278] ethnic groups and kind of teach about [00:04:46.319] different areas, different people, we've [00:04:48.329] got the support of different biographies and primary [00:04:50.500] sources for you. [00:04:51.829] And finally, our current events, especially [00:04:53.858] if you have access to Gael and context, [00:04:55.959] opposing viewpoints or Gael and context [00:04:58.259] global issues, you'll find a huge amount of current [00:05:00.528] event content, things like newspapers [00:05:02.980] and magazines that are going to really bring the [00:05:05.129] outside world into your classroom. You're [00:05:07.194] getting beyond the standard curriculum and [00:05:09.483] your students are really starting to see how this is actually [00:05:11.665] playing out around them, what different groups [00:05:13.863] are going through, how they can be supported, [00:05:16.113] how everyone can kind of interact together. [00:05:18.553] So it's a really nice piece to have all of that current event [00:05:20.855] content. [00:05:23.500] So let's just dive a little bit deeper into those [00:05:25.639] four categories. So first up is history [00:05:27.928] and we've got content all the way from ancient [00:05:30.119] history to more contemporary history, both [00:05:32.319] in the US and the world. So we'll have [00:05:34.389] information on things like politics and key [00:05:36.488] events that have kind of come [00:05:38.649] and go as well as different social movements. [00:05:40.778] So you'll find things in here like Ancient Africa. [00:05:43.079] If you're really starting from [00:05:44.850] the very basic and are planning to move forward, [00:05:47.108] you'll also find [00:05:48.358] different [00:05:49.528] acts laws, things like [00:05:51.569] that court cases related [00:05:53.600] to different ethnic groups. So you'll be able to pull that [00:05:55.720] content forward for your students. We [00:05:57.809] also have information on different groups [00:05:59.879] and parties that have been created kind of moving [00:06:02.259] through. So again, as you're moving forward [00:06:04.670] in your timeline, we'll be able to pull that content [00:06:06.819] for you as well. [00:06:08.309] And we have different movements in here, which I [00:06:10.350] personally think is a really great feature and we [00:06:12.420] have information on different movements and a lot of [00:06:14.428] our different resources particularly [00:06:17.108] our cross curricular resources gall [00:06:19.119] in context, us history, as well as [00:06:21.149] galling context, opposing move, opposing [00:06:23.449] viewpoints. [00:06:24.819] you'll find great overviews about different [00:06:26.910] movements. Again, to really kind of solidify [00:06:29.009] what students are learning about, to understand [00:06:31.399] the experiences of these different ethnic [00:06:33.569] groups and how they're [00:06:35.040] related to society and how society [00:06:37.298] is related to them [00:06:39.920] moving forward from history. We do have information [00:06:42.399] both on cultures and religions. [00:06:44.660] What's really nice is we have what we call topic [00:06:46.720] pages, we'll dig into a little bit more, but [00:06:48.750] we have topic pages on specific groups [00:06:50.869] you'll see here. We have a topic page just for Japanese [00:06:53.298] individuals, kind of giving a little bit of a background. [00:06:56.298] We also have it on different countries. [00:06:58.600] So as you start to work through different groups, if, if [00:07:00.879] you want to talk about generally [00:07:02.939] the home countries they come from. We do [00:07:04.980] have some great topic pages created for those [00:07:07.079] as well. You'll see we include quick facts here [00:07:09.988] and kind of pull forward a little bit more after [00:07:12.829] religions we've also chosen to highlight [00:07:15.129] here. You'll see, we've got Buddha Buddhism listed [00:07:17.660] to give again that nice background for students. [00:07:20.480] And finally, we do also have quite a bit of holiday [00:07:22.809] information, which I think is a really nice feature. [00:07:25.088] So not only are we learning about you [00:07:27.178] know, the history of individuals and kind of the current [00:07:29.369] events around individuals, we get to learn specifically [00:07:31.910] about their culture, you'll see, have pulled forward [00:07:34.329] here. So be able to kind of learn [00:07:36.730] what they do during this holiday, what the holiday [00:07:39.079] day is celebrating [00:07:40.730] and really engage more [00:07:43.369] deeply than just kind of getting the basic [00:07:45.488] facts. [00:07:48.678] And our people here are kind of obvious, [00:07:50.939] but we've got a huge collection of biographies. I [00:07:52.959] do like to point out though that it's both historical [00:07:55.500] and contemporary figures. So it's the kind [00:07:57.608] of the historical that you would expect to see. [00:07:59.910] But we've also started pulling it into kind [00:08:02.119] of current again to try to bring the real [00:08:04.220] world into your classroom. So [00:08:06.230] you'll find those standing bear [00:08:08.619] Frida callow things like that. But then [00:08:10.649] you'll also start to see individuals like Lizzo [00:08:13.769] and Elan Omar as well. So we're trying [00:08:15.869] to pull all of this forward. You'll see they are [00:08:17.889] a, a wide variety of individuals. You'll find [00:08:19.988] people all the way from music [00:08:22.569] and politics to authors and writing [00:08:24.750] to [00:08:25.738] scientists. If you're planning on highlighting [00:08:27.858] key scientists in different ethnic groups, [00:08:30.139] you'll find a huge collection of scientific [00:08:32.519] biographies as well. So really [00:08:34.649] a broad range of biographies available [00:08:36.869] to you [00:08:39.379] and finally, current events, I really like to highlight [00:08:41.590] our news and magazines that are found in a lot of our [00:08:43.609] resources that they're updated [00:08:45.769] daily. You'll notice if you do start to kind of click [00:08:47.879] through on your own, you're going to find a, a lot [00:08:50.330] of the news and magazine content that's going to pop [00:08:52.469] up. As the most current is going [00:08:54.558] to be, you know, last month, last [00:08:56.889] week, we really try to keep it as up to date [00:08:59.000] as possible. So you can bring that content to [00:09:01.038] your students. So you're going to find information [00:09:03.629] and current trends in society. So like Islamophobia, [00:09:06.879] you'll also find if there is something that we've chosen [00:09:09.029] to highlight here, missing and murdered indigenous [00:09:11.349] women and girls is a, a big topic [00:09:13.450] of interest that a lot of individuals are studying. [00:09:16.099] So we've chosen to pull that information forward [00:09:18.200] to make it really kind of [00:09:20.019] simple and easy for you and your students to find. [00:09:22.090] We also have things like multiracial America, [00:09:24.529] which is a much more broad topic, but [00:09:26.570] something that is also discussed frequently [00:09:29.288] and you'll find things like migrant workers as well. [00:09:31.349] So again, there are current events that are kind [00:09:33.418] of happening but also just current trends [00:09:35.928] in America and in society as a whole. [00:09:40.750] Now, within all of those different topics in [00:09:42.788] those buckets, we have a few different content types [00:09:44.989] that I want to point out to you as you start to kind of [00:09:47.090] clip clicking through the resource and finding [00:09:49.139] content. [00:09:50.058] The first being our topic overviews and these [00:09:52.090] are found in all of the in context, resources. [00:09:54.489] These are going to give a nice background [00:09:56.700] about whatever topic, whatever group of individuals, [00:09:59.178] whatever event you're going to be looking at and you're going [00:10:01.288] to be teaching your students. [00:10:02.899] It's really nice for you. If it's something you haven't looked [00:10:05.029] at in a while, but it's also great to forward along to [00:10:07.139] students. They'll be able to get that that [00:10:09.149] base before they dive deeper into [00:10:11.178] their studies. [00:10:12.879] We've also got a huge collection of primary [00:10:15.190] sources, [00:10:16.259] which I find extremely beneficial [00:10:18.570] for our our students is to kind of start to click [00:10:20.769] through. So if you're looking from, for primary [00:10:23.029] sources from various eras, you'll find [00:10:25.058] that in the resources as well. We've got [00:10:27.250] a large collection of course within gale and context [00:10:29.678] us history. But we also have them included [00:10:32.288] in Gale in context: high school [00:10:34.330] Gale In Context: Middle School Gale In Context: Elementary. [00:10:37.340] so you do have primary sources for all levels [00:10:39.489] and for all grades available to you as well. [00:10:42.450] Our multimedia content is huge. [00:10:44.548] I know sometimes when we think about online [00:10:47.000] resources like this, we think about text, [00:10:49.009] we think about, you know, reference articles, newspapers [00:10:51.548] and things like that, but we've got a huge [00:10:53.649] collection of images, videos [00:10:55.908] podcasts that really kind of [00:10:57.960] bring that extra layer for your students. So if [00:11:00.038] you have struggling readers or maybe [00:11:02.139] you're just trying to spice up a little bit, you notice you have [00:11:04.389] kind of a text heavy units [00:11:06.710] or lesson that's coming up. We can kind [00:11:08.750] of help you spice that up a little bit. We've got a huge [00:11:10.769] multimedia collection that's listed within our resources [00:11:13.399] as well. [00:11:14.639] And finally, I did already mention it, but [00:11:17.080] our biographies are found throughout the entire [00:11:19.418] in context suite. So even if you don't have access [00:11:21.820] to Gale and context biography, you'll [00:11:24.038] be able to find biographies on key individuals [00:11:26.340] in whatever subject you've clicked into. So [00:11:28.469] be it science, environmental studies, [00:11:30.750] US history, you'll find individuals [00:11:33.080] in all of those resources to support you as [00:11:35.119] you kind of teach through your students. [00:11:41.048] Now, I will pause quickly. I've talked [00:11:43.070] quite a bit and I wanna make sure there aren't any questions [00:11:45.500] that have come up just about the different content [00:11:47.548] types that we have available. [00:11:51.899] OK? I don't see any questions. So [00:11:54.288] I want to move forward now and talk about the organization [00:11:56.840] of our resources specifically [00:11:58.928] today, I want to talk about topic pages. These [00:12:01.058] pages are perfectly [00:12:03.200] designed to give to students at the beginning [00:12:05.619] of a lesson or the beginning of a unit [00:12:08.219] just to keep them organized, whatever they're [00:12:10.330] learning about. You see, I've pulled forward today, [00:12:12.408] the Black Lives Matter topic page on [00:12:14.609] Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints. [00:12:16.500] But what we've done is we've made this really simple [00:12:18.808] kind of one stop shop for information. [00:12:21.009] So at the very top of these topic pages, [00:12:23.298] we include a topic overview. [00:12:25.619] That's just a basic starting point. You know, this [00:12:27.830] is what we're going to be studying here are some key facts. [00:12:30.548] But then underneath it, we've pulled forward [00:12:32.918] all of the different content onto this nice [00:12:35.158] on this page button here. [00:12:37.428] So this is great for students who are maybe [00:12:39.479] looking for. Remember I mentioned our podcast, if they're [00:12:41.629] looking for an audio file, they can just [00:12:43.668] click directly into there. So it's saving them [00:12:45.808] the search instead of running a search for Black [00:12:47.849] Lives Matter and then kind of weeding through the [00:12:49.869] results that way they land on this topic [00:12:52.229] page and we've, we did it for them, we've [00:12:54.399] organized it for them so they can kind of point [00:12:56.418] and click through and find information they need. [00:12:59.820] And then on the bottom of that page, we [00:13:01.830] have the content bucket. So each of these different [00:13:04.178] content, content types are pulled [00:13:06.269] down below here. So your students can see [00:13:08.298] kind of the top three results [00:13:10.399] listed [00:13:11.479] and generally they are organized by relevancy. [00:13:14.250] So they'll be able to see those top three relevancy. [00:13:17.408] We have a quick question [00:13:19.908] here that I'm just going to read through earlier in the [00:13:21.950] presentation, you showed a page on the Chinese Exclusion [00:13:24.469] Act. Does that page include current [00:13:26.489] events covering a api discrimination [00:13:28.690] happening today? [00:13:30.070] Um [00:13:31.359] So I believe that image that I showed was from [00:13:33.599] context us history. So that is more [00:13:36.320] focused in the past. But I will [00:13:38.418] say within a lot of our resources, we actually [00:13:40.469] have Asian American and Pacific [00:13:42.538] Islander topic pages [00:13:44.440] that are going to cover the culture, the history kind [00:13:46.590] of current events. And I'm actually, I've got one of those [00:13:48.759] ready to go that I want to show you anonymous and attending. So [00:13:50.899] thanks for asking right now. Um [00:13:54.009] We'll take a look and you'll be able to see what's kind of currently [00:13:56.288] going on. [00:13:59.859] Jumping ahead of me. I already know where I'm going with this. [00:14:01.979] I love it. [00:14:02.899] Um So let's go ahead and move forward here. [00:14:06.139] So just a couple ideas for using top [00:14:08.219] topic pages in your classroom and then we're going [00:14:10.288] to dive in to actually see how they function [00:14:12.739] first. They're really great activity [00:14:14.750] starting point. So if you're planning [00:14:16.979] on starting talking about, let's say discrimination [00:14:19.558] against a api individuals, [00:14:22.239] you can start off on a topic page and you can [00:14:24.250] actually build different activities right, directly [00:14:26.529] from that start that, topic [00:14:28.719] page. So things like scavenger hunts [00:14:30.759] and escape, escape rooms are great ways to get [00:14:32.879] students actively engaged in the content [00:14:35.678] without really feeling like researching. [00:14:37.969] You know, you're not telling them to start searching [00:14:40.058] for and find some information. [00:14:42.469] you're giving them activities that they can do [00:14:44.558] and they hit this one landing point. So [00:14:46.609] you're not having to kind of direct them to different places [00:14:48.940] and help them work through different [00:14:50.769] maybe more advanced searches. They're [00:14:52.808] landing in one spot and they're just pointing and [00:14:54.869] clicking and finding the content they need. [00:14:58.190] In addition, they're really great bellringer fuel [00:15:00.239] again. Perfect landing point. And you can [00:15:02.250] have your students find me a picture [00:15:04.369] that you want to analyze or look at one of our overviews [00:15:06.969] and answer some critical thinking questions and [00:15:09.269] that's something they can do on their own while you're taking attendance [00:15:11.788] or while you're doing whatever you need to do before getting started. [00:15:14.609] They can just find that info and it's ready [00:15:16.830] to go for them. Nice and simple. Right on the topic [00:15:18.849] page. [00:15:19.769] Finally, it's great as a review. Of [00:15:21.928] course, once you are ready to move on, they can [00:15:24.000] just take another quick look at the overview [00:15:26.379] and we also have a related topic section [00:15:28.759] found on our topic pages as well. [00:15:30.840] So if you are kind of wrapping up and you're wanting [00:15:33.109] to move forward sometimes that related [00:15:35.479] topic is going to help your students move forward [00:15:37.529] and find another topic of interest that they can [00:15:39.558] keep learning about. [00:15:43.210] So, let's go ahead and take a look. [00:15:45.710] There are a few different ways we can find [00:15:47.960] the real, almost timed [00:15:50.080] out but didn't there are a few different ways we [00:15:52.229] can find topic pages here. So I'm going [00:15:54.359] to cover that as opposed to a standard, just [00:15:56.580] search [00:15:57.489] walkthrough because I'm sure you're all familiar [00:15:59.750] with how searching works. Of course. [00:16:01.918] So we're just going to take a look at finding topic [00:16:04.259] pages. So the first way to do that is just to scroll [00:16:06.460] down on the home page. I've chosen to click into [00:16:08.918] ga and context high school today, but [00:16:11.058] it works the same for all of your other context, resources. [00:16:13.580] So if you're working through us, history or [00:16:15.619] biography, [00:16:16.960] you'll get the same look. It's slightly different [00:16:19.619] in Gale and context elementary just because we've [00:16:21.658] toned it down a little bit for the young kids. But, [00:16:24.090] we still have the topic page layout within [00:16:26.298] Gale and context elementary. [00:16:29.149] But if I scroll to the very bottom of the page here, [00:16:31.168] you'll see, I have my option to browse different topics [00:16:33.548] and you'll see we have some different, oops, [00:16:36.029] I did get signed out. Give me a second here. [00:16:38.830] Sorry about that. [00:16:40.609] It didn't click through in time. [00:16:43.320] There we go. [00:16:44.529] So you see, we have some different categories available [00:16:46.820] here and we can click into all of the categories. [00:16:48.879] So, if I want to take a look at world cultures and religion, [00:16:52.989] now I'll be able to see all of the topic pages. [00:16:55.250] We have CRE created related [00:16:57.269] to that specific category [00:16:59.869] and these aren't every topic we [00:17:01.879] have in the resource, as you could imagine. We [00:17:04.150] aren't able to create topic pages for every [00:17:06.209] idea or every [00:17:08.269] everything that can be found in the resource. [00:17:10.509] We build topic pages about the most [00:17:12.539] searched, the most used and the most studied [00:17:15.088] topics. So if you're kind [00:17:17.199] of clicking through and don't find exactly what you're looking [00:17:19.229] for in our topic pages, or maybe your students have [00:17:21.449] something very specific, [00:17:23.469] maybe less studied in mine, then they'll [00:17:25.608] run their basic search and they'll pull content that [00:17:27.670] way. But a lot of the key topics [00:17:29.828] that are being studied will be found [00:17:32.189] on these topic pages. So again, we can [00:17:34.239] browse [00:17:35.368] the very top here. I can choose [00:17:37.809] to nar out all my topics. I can view all of [00:17:39.828] them if I hit view all, take [00:17:42.140] a second to load. there's [00:17:44.150] a lot here, [00:17:45.838] of course. So another way to find our topic pages [00:17:48.180] is to start running a search when I [00:17:50.189] do that. Anything that has a topic page. So let's [00:17:52.439] take a look at Asian American and Pacific [00:17:54.680] Islanders [00:17:56.199] as I start to type through here. Anything [00:17:58.299] with this predictive text that's bolded [00:18:00.750] is a topic page. [00:18:02.848] So you'll see, we actually have two within gallon context [00:18:05.098] high school. We have one specifically [00:18:07.519] just Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders [00:18:09.640] and we have one that's about Asian American [00:18:11.660] Pacific Islander Heritage Month. So we've pulled [00:18:13.910] forward content specifically [00:18:15.989] related to the month as opposed to the, [00:18:18.019] the culture and the individuals as a whole. [00:18:20.189] So let's click on the first one here [00:18:25.750] and now we're pulled here to our topic page. [00:18:28.019] And these again, look the same in all of our resources [00:18:30.828] except for Galan context. Elementary does look [00:18:32.858] slightly different for our young kids. [00:18:34.920] But as I start to scroll down now on my [00:18:37.039] topic page at the very top here, I have my [00:18:39.088] overview so we can hit read more [00:18:41.358] and we can actually send this right out to kids if we want [00:18:43.549] to, if we want to give them a background before we get [00:18:45.618] started, [00:18:47.318] you'll see on all of our overviews. We also [00:18:49.608] have critical thinking questions. So another Great [00:18:51.848] Bell Ringer idea, if you want students to start [00:18:54.059] taking a look at this, maybe, you know, answer these [00:18:56.180] three critical thinking questions and we're gonna talk about them [00:18:58.239] in 10, 15 minutes just to [00:19:00.328] get them kind of started in their learning [00:19:05.759] and jumping back to the topic page here. [00:19:08.219] Underneath this overview. [00:19:10.568] Again, you'll see all of the different bits of content [00:19:12.739] we have here. So you'll see specifically [00:19:15.259] within Galan context, high School. We've got a reference works [00:19:17.578] video, we've got some academic journals. So [00:19:19.680] if you're teaching a more advanced [00:19:21.838] group of students, we have our academic [00:19:23.858] journals listed here as well, primary sources, [00:19:26.578] all that great stuff listed here [00:19:29.259] scrolling down. Now they'll be able to see all of that [00:19:31.358] content and can kind of click into whatever they're [00:19:33.380] interested in. [00:19:35.318] And then at the very bottom, as I mentioned before, [00:19:37.420] let's scroll down there, [00:19:38.699] we have our related topics. [00:19:40.769] So as you start to move forward, if you're [00:19:42.779] planning another lesson, maybe specifically [00:19:45.009] related to Vietnamese Americans, [00:19:47.699] we can click directly there and move that research [00:19:49.789] forward again on another topic page. [00:19:52.170] This one you'll see it looks a little bit different because it's about [00:19:54.239] individuals. So we give some quick facts [00:19:57.390] on the overview, [00:19:58.699] but we can click back and forth right on the topic [00:20:00.719] page. So I really don't have to search [00:20:02.959] very much. I can pull this forward [00:20:04.989] and be ready to go. [00:20:06.430] And another great feature. If you are ever planning [00:20:08.489] on using topic pages with your students, [00:20:10.709] I'd like to point out our get link button up top [00:20:12.880] here. When I hit this [00:20:14.959] get link, it gives me a persistent URL back to [00:20:17.039] this topic page. So if you want to share [00:20:19.180] it with them, they can just click in right here. [00:20:21.640] They'll be taken right to this page. So they won't need [00:20:23.660] to search through on their own. They won't need to browse through on [00:20:25.709] their own. You can really make sure every student [00:20:27.779] is getting to exactly where they need to be to start [00:20:30.019] the class or to start the lesson or [00:20:32.180] whatever they're planning on doing. [00:20:35.439] We also have integration with the Google classroom as [00:20:37.559] well. So if you're using Google classroom, you can actually [00:20:39.799] send this topic page over there as [00:20:41.949] well. I'm not going to go through it all the way today. [00:20:44.489] Oh, not at all because I'm not signed in. [00:20:46.559] We're not gonna spend the time but you'll be able [00:20:48.709] to make an announcement activity, all that good [00:20:50.739] stuff and it will link specifically to this topic [00:20:52.920] page. So again, I love [00:20:55.078] these, when we're talking about [00:20:57.799] specific topics that are studied [00:20:59.868] frequently, they'll be found here and they'll [00:21:01.959] be ready for you to use nice and clean and [00:21:04.009] organized. [00:21:08.160] Now, in addition to our topic pages, I do just [00:21:10.219] want to go over a few tools that are going to [00:21:12.299] be helpful specifically to your students. So [00:21:14.779] once you have all of this great content found [00:21:17.170] on a topic page or just of course, run [00:21:19.279] through a search. If you're trying to find content that way, [00:21:21.500] we've got some tools that are going to help your students [00:21:23.618] learn quite a bit. [00:21:28.739] We just got a couple of things pop up here in the [00:21:30.799] Q and A [00:21:31.939] um [00:21:33.868] A question on the images [00:21:36.049] that show it up a little bit [00:21:38.078] strange on your screen. Um an an Satan. [00:21:40.489] If you want to send me an email directly, I can [00:21:42.670] um reach out to you to see exactly what you mean [00:21:44.789] about the images looking strange. [00:21:46.848] Um Could certainly just be [00:21:49.078] a, a look on the screen but [00:21:51.439] send me an email response to the email [00:21:53.670] I sent later and I'll be able to take a look at that with you. [00:21:56.529] And we have another question when you copy paste the [00:21:58.660] get link, does it require a student to log [00:22:00.670] in before accessing it? That's a really great question. [00:22:03.250] So the page that you're taken to. So the topic [00:22:05.368] page, they won't need to authenticate. [00:22:07.809] So they'll be able to see the topic page when [00:22:09.900] they decide to move forward with their learning. [00:22:12.009] So if they decide to click into one of the [00:22:14.088] articles or a video or something like that, [00:22:16.180] at that point, they'll need to authenticate however [00:22:18.559] they normally do to get into your resource. So if [00:22:20.650] they use a password they'll be prompted [00:22:22.729] for a password. [00:22:24.368] Um [00:22:25.739] If you're using a signing in with Microsoft [00:22:28.059] or something like that, you'll be required to sign at that point, [00:22:30.118] but they will be able to see the topic page itself [00:22:32.618] without signing in [00:22:40.108] and we're getting close to the end of our time. So I do [00:22:42.219] want to show you these tools. So once your students [00:22:44.239] have this content in their hands, either [00:22:46.439] they found it themselves or you will be able to pull it for [00:22:48.689] them. They can [00:22:50.729] start to access that content. As I mentioned, get link, [00:22:53.019] it's found on documents here as well. [00:22:55.618] But they also have the option to share and save [00:22:57.719] content in other ways here as well. You'll see they can [00:22:59.880] send over to their Google or their Microsoft drive. [00:23:02.338] If they want to hold on to this piece of content for [00:23:04.509] a later time, maybe they're using it in a project [00:23:06.640] and they want to save it. That's the way to do [00:23:08.699] it, send over to their drives. They could also email [00:23:10.920] it, download it or print it. [00:23:13.618] So whichever way they prefer is completely fine [00:23:15.719] there. We also have some great text [00:23:17.920] manipulation features and accessibility [00:23:20.009] features that I like to point out for your students. [00:23:22.239] We do have a translate capability so [00:23:24.338] they can translate both the text, whoops [00:23:27.289] both the text of the article [00:23:29.430] as well as the platform itself. They can translate [00:23:31.729] all of our tools and navigation to whatever language [00:23:33.959] they need. [00:23:34.930] They can also change how the text looks on [00:23:37.009] the screen. You'll see they can change colors, they can [00:23:39.098] change fonts and the line spacing [00:23:41.368] to really make it as accessible as possible [00:23:43.469] for them. We want them to be successful in what [00:23:45.549] they're reading. [00:23:47.279] And finally, we do have a listen option here so [00:23:49.358] they can have this article read to them if they're still [00:23:51.400] struggling reading, even if they've kind of edited [00:23:54.029] how their screen looks, we can [00:23:56.039] read that text to them and it does actually read [00:23:58.279] in whatever language your student has the text [00:24:00.459] set too. So if they translated, let's say to Spanish, [00:24:03.358] before they got started reading and they hit [00:24:05.568] that listen tool, it's going to read to them in Spanish. [00:24:07.979] So a nice little additional feature for [00:24:10.130] them to help them really be able to kind of grasp [00:24:12.500] the content they're learning about. [00:24:15.598] And finally, we have highlights and notes. So [00:24:17.828] after you get this content to students, if you [00:24:19.920] want them to kind of read through, talk to [00:24:21.979] the text, annotate all that good stuff, [00:24:24.009] they can do that right on our platform. They don't need to print [00:24:26.269] it out or anything like that. They can just click [00:24:28.459] and drag over any piece of text just [00:24:30.469] like they would normally highlight something [00:24:32.489] and they get this nice little pop up and they get to choose [00:24:34.719] a color they want to highlight with and they can add notes [00:24:36.989] here so they can really annotate [00:24:39.219] a full piece of text and they [00:24:41.269] can save it to their drives, they can print it, [00:24:43.289] they can email it [00:24:44.910] and use it for later. It's all ready to go. So they'll be [00:24:46.969] able to find those key points and text [00:24:48.989] right here on this page without having to print it out without [00:24:51.259] having to hand everyone, you know [00:24:53.539] highlighters and try to get them back at the end of the [00:24:55.650] class. they can do it all online [00:24:57.930] right here. Nice and simple. [00:25:01.588] And since we're coming to the end of our time, [00:25:03.689] I'm not going to walk through the tools time. [00:25:05.789] I suggest taking a look when you have the time, just [00:25:07.809] click into any, any old article [00:25:09.939] and you'll be able to take a look at all of those tools. [00:25:12.439] But I do want to mention some pre created materials [00:25:14.939] we have on our support site. So I know [00:25:17.059] I gave you some ideas, but [00:25:19.189] you're busy if you just want something quick, [00:25:21.400] a quick activity to run, we [00:25:23.430] have premade content on our support site, which [00:25:25.630] is support dale dot com. [00:25:27.410] You'll find full activities here [00:25:29.529] like this, this one specifically related [00:25:31.989] to Arab Americans and it's a station activity [00:25:34.250] that you'll be able to set up for your class. We [00:25:36.259] have things kind of like trading cards or like baseball [00:25:38.709] cards. This one is about native American [00:25:40.769] authors, but we also have some related [00:25:43.049] to countries, [00:25:44.689] um [00:25:47.140] different environmental things. We've got a huge [00:25:49.299] collection of these trading cards here as well. Well, [00:25:51.598] where students will be able to answer questions about the individuals [00:25:54.469] on the backs of the cars and kind of run through research. [00:25:56.858] That way, we've also got premade [00:25:58.880] scavenger hunts. So again, as I mentioned, landing [00:26:01.118] on a topic page and building on [00:26:03.209] a scavenger hunt is a great way to get your students [00:26:05.430] researching [00:26:06.900] without feeling like they're researching while actually [00:26:09.199] engaging and a lot of our topic. [00:26:11.838] sorry, a lot of our scavenger hearts are actually [00:26:14.229] already built off topic pages. You'll see this [00:26:16.358] one here. We built for Native American [00:26:18.618] Heritage Month and we're using the Native North [00:26:20.818] Americans before European colonization [00:26:22.900] topic page. And we actually direct students [00:26:25.150] right there. So before they even get started, that's where [00:26:27.209] they need to go and then these answers are [00:26:29.309] directly related to the content they're going to [00:26:31.358] find. [00:26:34.368] In addition to that premade stuff, we also have templates [00:26:36.838] for you. So we have a template first Avenger hunts. [00:26:38.939] If you're planning on building your own with some different [00:26:40.989] topic pages that you've found, [00:26:42.699] we also have a blank bingo card that you can [00:26:44.818] edit online. So if you want to play some bingo [00:26:47.059] with your gale resources, you can do that. [00:26:49.209] We've got a nice claim, evidence reasoning [00:26:51.358] template. If you're planning on working [00:26:53.500] through pro con arguments or talking through debates [00:26:55.890] or anything like that, [00:26:57.250] we've also got a full escape room template [00:26:59.689] which really comes in handy. It's [00:27:01.799] a big template. You'll be able to decide how [00:27:03.828] much of it you want to use, how little, [00:27:06.259] but it's completely editable by you. We've [00:27:08.809] built it out simply for you to kind of just [00:27:10.910] plug in the content that you found and [00:27:13.088] roll with it. [00:27:17.358] Now, I have some wrap up information for you, as [00:27:19.380] I mentioned in the beginning of the session. If you [00:27:21.479] want to dive deeper into a very specific [00:27:23.500] topic or maybe your collection to talk [00:27:25.709] about what your collection has available. You [00:27:27.949] can reach out to your customer success manager. If you [00:27:30.049] haven't talked to them yet, I suggest you do. They're [00:27:32.078] really great. A lot of them, [00:27:34.500] most of them I think are former teachers. So [00:27:36.559] they've been in the classroom just like yourselves [00:27:38.568] and they, they're ready to help to make sure that you can [00:27:40.588] get this content to your students. If [00:27:42.959] you don't know who your customer success manager is, just [00:27:45.170] send an email to gale.customersuccess@cengage.com [00:27:47.410] you'll be forwarded [00:27:49.509] to the correct individual if you want to talk [00:27:51.578] about gale in context at all. Maybe resources [00:27:53.739] you don't currently have access to, you can always [00:27:55.868] reach out to your sales consultant. [00:27:57.680] If you don't know who that is, you can go to [00:27:59.729] support.gale.com/repfinder [00:28:02.000] you put in your information and we'll direct you to the [00:28:04.009] correct individual. [00:28:05.818] And if you want to take a look at any of those activities [00:28:08.180] that we have created or any [00:28:10.368] webinars, tutorials, flyers. [00:28:13.059] If you're planning on getting this information out to teachers, [00:28:15.439] you can go on our support site, which again is support [00:28:17.838] dot gale dot com under the [00:28:19.930] training center, you'll find those pre-made activities, [00:28:22.719] lesson plans, all that good stuff. [00:28:25.088] And I do have a training session survey. So if [00:28:27.108] you all have the time to take that. I would really [00:28:29.309] appreciate it if we want to make sure that we're covering [00:28:31.449] the information you're looking for when you join our session. [00:28:33.910] So you can either scan my QR code [00:28:35.930] here or it pops up in your browser once our [00:28:37.959] session is done [00:28:39.769] again. Thank you for being on the line. Hopefully [00:28:41.890] we'll see you in future sessions and please [00:28:44.088] have a great rest of your day.
