00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:04.133
- Hi everyone.

00:00:04.133 --> 00:00:06.330
This is Jeremy Schifeling
from Khan Academy.

00:00:06.330 --> 00:00:09.260
Thanks so much for taking time
to join me in this big week,

00:00:09.260 --> 00:00:10.810
either before the start of school

00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:12.100
or in the middle of the start of school

00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:14.540
depending on where you're calling from.

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.760
Wherever you are in your
own educational journey

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.060
this school year,

00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:19.770
I'm really excited that you joined us

00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:21.780
for our student experience demo.

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:25.540
This all about a chance to
basically go behind the curtain

00:00:25.540 --> 00:00:27.510
and see what your students
see on Khan Academy.

00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:30.010
So you can make the most
of this tool this year.

00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:33.540
That being said just a couple
of things to get started here.

00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:35.470
I wanna call out as always

00:00:35.470 --> 00:00:37.140
that like every Khan Academy webinar,

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:38.590
we will be recording the session

00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:41.040
and then sharing it in your
email in about an hour.

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:43.490
So that'll happen automatically
whether you can join it for

00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:45.210
the whole session or
whether you have to run out

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:46.720
and make dinner or anything else.

00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.250
So have no fear you will have
that in your inbox shortly.

00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:51.330
In the meantime,

00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:53.180
you can even get the slides themselves

00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:54.837
through the handout section right now

00:00:54.837 --> 00:00:56.920
on the Go To Webinar control panel.

00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.960
So if you're really eager like
me to see where we're headed,

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:03.270
feel free to grab that PDF
under the handout section.

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:05.433
And then finally, because
just like last week session,

00:01:05.433 --> 00:01:08.250
I wanna make this as
interactive as possible.

00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:09.670
Please, please, please make sure

00:01:09.670 --> 00:01:12.090
that you're logged into
your Khan Academy account.

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:14.220
That way you can follow
along and actually experience

00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:16.940
everything just the same
way that your students do.

00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:18.760
And I'll make it a really fun session

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.830
and a really powerful one as well.

00:01:20.830 --> 00:01:22.410
That being said,

00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:24.450
I wanna sort of cut to the chase here

00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:27.190
and talk about one of our big philosophies

00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:28.540
here at Khan Academy.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:31.500
Which is that great teaching
involves great empathy.

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:33.560
I love this quote from Anne Lieberman.

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.990
Which is that great teachers,

00:01:34.990 --> 00:01:36.800
don't just teach kids and lecture kids.

00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:38.080
They empathize with kids.

00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:38.913
They respect them.

00:01:38.913 --> 00:01:40.730
They understand where they're coming from

00:01:40.730 --> 00:01:43.337
and they serve those needs
through that empathy.

00:01:43.337 --> 00:01:45.610
And I think to put it in a more sort of

00:01:45.610 --> 00:01:48.600
a practical standpoint or
a practical perspective,

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:50.560
what I've heard from a lot of educators

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.300
as I never really got
to Khan Academy until

00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:55.170
I tried using it as a student.

00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:57.650
Either for my own courses in college

00:01:57.650 --> 00:01:59.560
where my own teacher test prep.

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:00.393
We're just trying to understand

00:02:00.393 --> 00:02:02.170
what my students were saying.

00:02:02.170 --> 00:02:03.720
That was the light bulb moment.

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.220
That's when I got it.

00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:07.670
And so please put yourself
into your students' shoes

00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:09.940
for the next 25 minutes or so,

00:02:09.940 --> 00:02:13.480
and sort of experience what
your students experience.

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:14.530
So that way you can give them

00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:18.160
the best possible experience this Fall.

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:20.690
Okay, to get things started,

00:02:20.690 --> 00:02:22.360
we're gonna begin with you joining

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.340
my classroom on Khan Academy,

00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:25.790
the same way that students might set up

00:02:25.790 --> 00:02:27.170
for your own classroom.

00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:30.530
So again, if you're already
logged into Khan Academy,

00:02:30.530 --> 00:02:33.010
all you wanna do is go
to bit.ly/khaninvite

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:35.960
So I'm gonna actually show you

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.991
what that looks like over here.

00:02:37.991 --> 00:02:39.250
So check this out.

00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:42.340
So here I have, you know,
my teacher accounts set up.

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:43.173
And what I'm gonna do is

00:02:43.173 --> 00:02:46.610
I'm gonna come over here
to bit.ly/khaninvite.

00:02:46.610 --> 00:02:48.760
I'm also gonna put that in
the chat just so you can click

00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:50.893
the link for even easier access.

00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:53.770
And once you're over there,

00:02:53.770 --> 00:02:57.140
what you will see is a
slow the invitation popup.

00:02:57.140 --> 00:02:58.770
And it's gonna say, hey,

00:02:58.770 --> 00:03:01.330
you're joining the
student experience demo.

00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:04.270
Are you ready to sort of
plug into this classroom?

00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:05.940
And I know it might seem a little strange,

00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:08.620
like what is this classroom
that Jeremy has set up.

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:10.490
But just is roll with
me a little bit here.

00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:13.870
Go ahead and click Join
Student Experience Demo.

00:03:13.870 --> 00:03:17.702
And you will now be a registered
member of our sample class.

00:03:17.702 --> 00:03:20.730
And I will give you two minutes
to do the same on your side.

00:03:20.730 --> 00:03:21.980
I wish, I wish, I wish, I could play

00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:24.040
some jeopardy music right now,

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:28.430
but at the very least just
follow the invites on the screen,

00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:32.200
bit.ly/khaninvite, join my class.

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:34.720
And if you have any questions whatsoever,

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.220
feel free to ask them
using the question section

00:03:37.220 --> 00:03:39.180
of the Go To Webinar control panel.

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:41.840
I'm happy to answer
those live and over texts

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.330
as we go along.

00:03:43.330 --> 00:03:44.930
So again, join my class

00:03:44.930 --> 00:03:46.870
and that'll be the first
step towards seeing

00:03:46.870 --> 00:03:48.020
what your students see.

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.670
Looks like no questions coming
in yet, which is awesome.

00:03:55.835 --> 00:03:57.920
I'm definitely, probably
not gonna be identical

00:03:57.920 --> 00:03:59.610
to the experience your students have.

00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.570
Mine always ask questions
about everything,

00:04:02.570 --> 00:04:04.310
but hopefully that means everyone

00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:07.433
is making good progress
and joining my class.

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.780
And what you'll be able
to see as a teacher,

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:12.230
whether you're doing this over Zoom

00:04:12.230 --> 00:04:14.150
or doing this in person

00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:16.010
is you'll be able to see students coming

00:04:16.010 --> 00:04:18.740
into your class in real time.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:19.930
So check this out.

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:21.710
I'm gonna come over to my roster.

00:04:21.710 --> 00:04:24.100
This is the student experience demo.

00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:25.563
I'm gonna click refresh.

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:28.640
And what you're gonna see now

00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:30.380
is that all the teachers
across the country

00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:32.450
who were involved in this webinar,

00:04:32.450 --> 00:04:34.120
they have just joined this class,

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.470
which is pretty incredible.

00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:38.562
So sure enough, they're coming in.

00:04:38.562 --> 00:04:39.395
Ally's here.

00:04:39.395 --> 00:04:40.228
Alyssa's here.

00:04:40.228 --> 00:04:41.061
Christine's here.

00:04:41.061 --> 00:04:41.894
Diane's here.

00:04:41.894 --> 00:04:43.450
Thank you all so much.

00:04:43.450 --> 00:04:45.460
And what I'm gonna do
is actually include you

00:04:45.460 --> 00:04:47.312
in an assignment shortly,

00:04:47.312 --> 00:04:50.322
but I will get back to that in a moment.

00:04:50.322 --> 00:04:53.664
I wanna answer a couple questions
cause' folks are asking,

00:04:53.664 --> 00:04:56.350
Balayla says it looks like I'm
still my teacher's account.

00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:57.460
Absolutely.

00:04:57.460 --> 00:04:59.790
Would you might've noticed
that my demo window here

00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:02.640
is that after you joined my
class kind of always kicks

00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:04.450
you back to your teacher home page.

00:05:04.450 --> 00:05:05.770
And that kind of keeps you centered

00:05:05.770 --> 00:05:08.810
on the teacher experience,
but have no fear.

00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:11.000
I'm gonna show you where
to actually confirm

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.380
that you are now a member
of my class as a learner.

00:05:13.380 --> 00:05:14.530
Great question Balayla.

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:16.493
Diane had the same question.

00:05:16.493 --> 00:05:18.470
You get the point, Lisa had the same.

00:05:18.470 --> 00:05:21.150
So sorry, I didn't call
that out, my apologies,

00:05:21.150 --> 00:05:23.710
but yeah, you will come back
to your teacher dashboard,

00:05:23.710 --> 00:05:24.543
but have no fear.

00:05:24.543 --> 00:05:26.250
You are now registered in my class

00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:27.770
and it's showing up on
the screen right here.

00:05:27.770 --> 00:05:31.990
So, I think at this point
everyone's had a chance to join.

00:05:31.990 --> 00:05:34.320
We have about 30 students
from across the country,

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:35.340
which is awesome.

00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:36.790
So thank you all for joining.

00:05:38.020 --> 00:05:40.490
What I wanna do now is do
a couple things for you.

00:05:40.490 --> 00:05:41.660
So first of all,

00:05:41.660 --> 00:05:42.680
just sort of gave you a sense of

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.790
how you might do this on your own side.

00:05:44.790 --> 00:05:46.070
I'm gonna make my screen a little larger.

00:05:46.070 --> 00:05:47.520
So it's easier to see.

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:50.400
And if you ever wanna
share your own class code

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:51.800
with your students,

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.180
all you have to do is come into

00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:55.710
your classroom at Khan Academy,

00:05:55.710 --> 00:05:58.910
come over to the Students tab
right down here under admin.

00:05:58.910 --> 00:06:01.610
And then there's this
nice share class code link

00:06:01.610 --> 00:06:03.590
right in the upper right hand corner.

00:06:03.590 --> 00:06:06.410
By clicking here, I can grab the code.

00:06:06.410 --> 00:06:08.110
Just like the one I gave you.

00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:11.570
Now I put it behind a fancy
little bookmark from bi.tly

00:06:11.570 --> 00:06:14.420
but you can share this link
on whatever form you want

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:15.920
with your students and they can join

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.800
the exact same way you did.

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.120
You could even print these instructions

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.850
if you wanna share them in a different way

00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:22.720
or different languages.

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.190
But this is the easiest way
to get your students started.

00:06:25.190 --> 00:06:26.170
So there's your class code?

00:06:26.170 --> 00:06:27.470
There's your link.

00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:28.460
Then like I said,

00:06:28.460 --> 00:06:30.510
you can see your students
coming in in real time,

00:06:30.510 --> 00:06:31.970
which is awesome.

00:06:31.970 --> 00:06:33.950
And now that you had your
students here and you're saying,

00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:35.197
okay, this all looks really good.

00:06:35.197 --> 00:06:36.040
Ally's here.

00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:36.873
Elleen's here.

00:06:36.873 --> 00:06:37.790
Diane's here.

00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:41.010
Let me actually get you off to
the races with an assignment.

00:06:41.010 --> 00:06:43.290
So I'm gonna come over
to the assign section.

00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:44.720
What I'm gonna do is just walk you through

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.370
what the teacher is saying.

00:06:46.370 --> 00:06:49.320
Now that her students or
his students are enrolled.

00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:51.830
As I come down here, I say, you know what?

00:06:51.830 --> 00:06:53.588
I'm gonna start you off.

00:06:53.588 --> 00:06:54.667
Maybe in this case, you know what?

00:06:54.667 --> 00:06:55.640
I'm gonna switch things up.

00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:58.230
I'm gonna start you off
with the grammar lesson

00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:01.240
because I got some feedback
at my last webinar.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.120
Jeremy, I love all this
stuff you're doing,

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.240
but it's too much math, math, math.

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.350
Let's shake it up a little bit.

00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:07.280
You're absolutely right.

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:09.370
So let's do a grammar lesson right now.

00:07:09.370 --> 00:07:12.060
Let's focus on identifying nouns.

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.940
So I come over to assign.

00:07:13.940 --> 00:07:15.380
I click the little check box.

00:07:15.380 --> 00:07:17.230
I click assign one.

00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:19.710
I'm gonna say all of
my students in my class

00:07:19.710 --> 00:07:21.300
are gonna get this assignment.

00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:22.203
So here we go.

00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:25.990
All students you have till tomorrow,

00:07:25.990 --> 00:07:27.450
what we're gonna do it right now.

00:07:27.450 --> 00:07:29.060
I'm gonna have you all
do the same question set

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:30.880
so we can review together as a class,

00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:33.280
which is pretty powerful
over video conference.

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:35.890
And I'm gonna assign that right now.

00:07:35.890 --> 00:07:40.310
And so if we switch back
into our student experience,

00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:42.600
you've gone from enrolling in my class

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.100
to now having a chance to
actually get information

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:46.853
and assignments as a student.

00:07:47.820 --> 00:07:49.080
Now to get there,

00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:52.150
what I want you to do is a
switch from your teacher view,

00:07:52.150 --> 00:07:54.100
kind of like the teacher
hat that you're wearing

00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:56.910
into student mode and
see your student view.

00:07:56.910 --> 00:07:57.970
And the way you're gonna do that.

00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:00.380
And I'll walk you through
it right here on my screen,

00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:02.270
is you're gonna come over here.

00:08:02.270 --> 00:08:04.230
You're going to come up to your name

00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:05.630
in the upper right hand corner.

00:08:05.630 --> 00:08:06.670
I'm gonna actually shrink it a little bit

00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:08.260
so you can see that.

00:08:08.260 --> 00:08:09.460
So I have Salvador.

00:08:09.460 --> 00:08:10.376
You might be Diane,

00:08:10.376 --> 00:08:11.990
you might be Elleen, whatever it is.

00:08:11.990 --> 00:08:13.640
You're gonna click right in
the upper right hand corner.

00:08:13.640 --> 00:08:16.670
And then you're gonna click learner home.

00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:19.100
And basically what this is
telling Khan Academy is,

00:08:19.100 --> 00:08:20.810
hey I'm about to switch identities.

00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:22.610
I'm a teacher and a learner.

00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:24.930
And in this case, I wanna
focus on the learner view.

00:08:24.930 --> 00:08:27.540
So learner home is where you wanna go

00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:29.050
and if you've actually done it,

00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:31.380
what you should now see is under

00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:35.570
the student experience demo,
you will see this assignment

00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:38.630
that I've just given,
which is identifying nouns.

00:08:38.630 --> 00:08:40.010
And just to sort of reiterate

00:08:40.010 --> 00:08:42.040
as I have here in this teacher note,

00:08:42.040 --> 00:08:44.240
if you click your name one more time,

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.500
you'll notice that there
are these notifications

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:48.090
that are letting you know that

00:08:48.090 --> 00:08:50.320
you've just received this assignment.

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.380
So if you click the notification link,

00:08:52.380 --> 00:08:54.450
you can see that assignment has come in.

00:08:54.450 --> 00:08:57.110
This is one that you can
communicate with students.

00:08:57.110 --> 00:08:59.700
Obviously you can let them
know about assignments verbally

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:03.410
during a Zoom session via
Vermont, via ClasDojo,

00:09:03.410 --> 00:09:05.740
via Google Classroom, all
sorts of different ways.

00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:07.890
But fundamentally every
time you make an assignment,

00:09:07.890 --> 00:09:10.027
it'll pop up in the notification section.

00:09:10.027 --> 00:09:13.880
And so now to move on to the last section,

00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:16.810
I wanna give you a chance to
get into your student view.

00:09:16.810 --> 00:09:18.370
So if you haven't done this already,

00:09:18.370 --> 00:09:21.270
take one minute right
now and click your name

00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:23.350
and then click into learner home.

00:09:23.350 --> 00:09:24.863
And your time starts now.

00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:27.084
I've always wanted to say that.

00:09:27.084 --> 00:09:28.963
Always wanted to be a game show host.

00:09:30.030 --> 00:09:31.470
Come on into your student view.

00:09:31.470 --> 00:09:33.780
Again, you're coming over to your name

00:09:35.725 --> 00:09:37.670
and you're clicking learner home

00:09:37.670 --> 00:09:39.880
and they'll take you right there.

00:09:39.880 --> 00:09:41.640
Just to make sure
everyone's on the same page

00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:44.213
before we move forward, I'm
gonna answer some questions.

00:09:45.190 --> 00:09:47.020
Regina did get a little prompt that said

00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:48.850
I was not able to get into the session.

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:50.230
It asked me to create an account

00:09:50.230 --> 00:09:52.060
or log into my existing account.

00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:53.450
And that's totally fine.

00:09:53.450 --> 00:09:55.830
If you don't want to use your
existing teacher account,

00:09:55.830 --> 00:09:57.620
you can always create
a new student account

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:59.940
maybe with your personal
Gmail, for instance,

00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:01.420
for the purposes of this session.

00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:03.190
Totally fine to keep it separate.

00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:04.340
Great question, Regina.

00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:07.350
Okay, about 15 seconds left.

00:10:07.350 --> 00:10:08.300
Just wanna make sure that everyone

00:10:08.300 --> 00:10:10.440
is now in the learner home,

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:11.830
where you're gonna see your assignments.

00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:12.880
You're gonna see all the interaction

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:15.060
with the teacher in this case.

00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:18.640
And once the timer is up, we'll
move on to the next section.

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:20.940
Thank you all for being rockstar students.

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.260
I can tell this class is gonna go far.

00:10:23.260 --> 00:10:24.940
Okay, time's up.

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:26.573
Let's move on to the third step.

00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:30.490
And that is chance to
actually do the assignment.

00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:31.850
And I know this might seem a little funny

00:10:31.850 --> 00:10:34.190
to actually be doing
the work on Khan Academy

00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:36.020
as opposed to assign the work.

00:10:36.020 --> 00:10:37.750
But again, I think it's so important

00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:39.550
to really see that fundamental thing

00:10:39.550 --> 00:10:41.410
that your students experience.

00:10:41.410 --> 00:10:42.670
What does an assignment look like?

00:10:42.670 --> 00:10:43.503
How does it feel?

00:10:43.503 --> 00:10:45.600
How do I get help when I'm stuck?

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.000
And so what I would love
for you to do is do exactly

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.190
I'm gonna show you on my screen right now.

00:10:50.190 --> 00:10:52.960
Which is like come over here
to my assignment section.

00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.090
I say, aha, my teacher

00:10:54.090 --> 00:10:56.800
has made this assignment, identify nouns.

00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:59.373
I scroll over, I click the start button.

00:11:00.280 --> 00:11:02.127
And I'm literally just
gonna go through this

00:11:02.127 --> 00:11:04.863
and try to answer these to
the best of my abilities.

00:11:05.739 --> 00:11:09.490
So noun, not a noun, not a noun, noun.

00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:12.110
Check, get that nice little reward, right?

00:11:12.110 --> 00:11:14.640
The next question and what
I'll challenge you to do

00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:16.080
as you go through this

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.420
is to actually try getting
it wrong once in a while.

00:11:19.420 --> 00:11:21.420
We're asking for a hint just to see

00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:22.740
what that experience looks like.

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:24.110
You know, especially
with all these students

00:11:24.110 --> 00:11:26.020
learning over distance right now.

00:11:26.020 --> 00:11:29.380
They may not always be able
to reach you with questions.

00:11:29.380 --> 00:11:31.550
So in that case, how
can you instruct them on

00:11:31.550 --> 00:11:32.690
how to use the hint system

00:11:32.690 --> 00:11:33.930
and the video system?

00:11:33.930 --> 00:11:35.910
Well, first of all, try it out yourself

00:11:35.910 --> 00:11:36.900
and then you'll be empowered

00:11:36.900 --> 00:11:39.350
to really support them going forward.

00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:41.940
So spend about five minutes
going through it right now.

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:43.023
I'll start the timer.

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.590
And again, just to sort
of retrace my steps,

00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:51.560
I'm in my learner home, I'm
going to my assignment section,

00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:53.360
I'm clicking start.

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.820
And I'm just literally going
through this as a student would

00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:58.130
one question after another,

00:11:58.130 --> 00:12:01.160
getting stuck some times getting hints

00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:03.930
and getting a sense of how this all feels

00:12:03.930 --> 00:12:05.210
and how it all works.

00:12:05.210 --> 00:12:06.680
Cause' once you understand that

00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:08.980
you can really translate
it for your students.

00:12:11.790 --> 00:12:13.770
So as you do that, again feel free

00:12:13.770 --> 00:12:16.120
to ask any questions via
the questions feature

00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.270
and go to webinar.

00:12:17.270 --> 00:12:19.020
I'll be happy to answer those live.

00:12:21.270 --> 00:12:23.680
Balayla says, should we
watch the video also?

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:25.150
Totally up to you, Balayla.

00:12:25.150 --> 00:12:27.300
If you're one of those superstar students

00:12:27.300 --> 00:12:29.110
who zooming ahead and you have time

00:12:29.110 --> 00:12:31.990
and not only do the exercise
or watch the video, go for it.

00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:34.310
Get a sense of what those
con videos feel like.

00:12:34.310 --> 00:12:35.143
Great question.

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.340
Christine is saying I can
get to the learner home,

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.230
but I can't see the assignment.

00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:42.970
So I just wanna call this out.

00:12:42.970 --> 00:12:44.520
You may have multiple courses here

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:46.030
depending on how many
things you've signed up

00:12:46.030 --> 00:12:47.420
for as a learner.

00:12:47.420 --> 00:12:48.610
Definitely make sure that you come over

00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:51.190
to the student experience demo,

00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:53.340
which has the name of
my particular course.

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:55.300
Good question, Christine.

00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:58.180
And Melissa says, will
this link still be active

00:12:58.180 --> 00:13:00.500
so we can show the kids
the student view demo.

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:01.333
Absolutely.

00:13:01.333 --> 00:13:02.440
I'm gonna leave this classroom up

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.200
for the entire academic year.

00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:05.570
So if you ever wanna log back in

00:13:05.570 --> 00:13:07.550
and sort of reconnect with this experience

00:13:07.550 --> 00:13:10.580
or share with your own
students, by all means.

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:12.150
And also know that you
can certainly do the same

00:13:12.150 --> 00:13:13.280
on your own end.

00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:15.380
You can always create a sample classroom.

00:13:15.380 --> 00:13:16.780
You can add yourself to it

00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:19.380
and really see what students are seeing.

00:13:19.380 --> 00:13:21.150
We're making it easy for
your students to play around

00:13:21.150 --> 00:13:23.520
in a kind of a sandbox
environment if you will.

00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:25.780
So definitely feel free to take advantage

00:13:25.780 --> 00:13:28.540
of all these resources
both now and in the future.

00:13:28.540 --> 00:13:30.140
Thanks for asking that, Melissa.

00:13:32.150 --> 00:13:34.420
Okay, we're about halfway through.

00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:36.190
Hopefully you're having fun.

00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:37.530
I'm getting in touch

00:13:37.530 --> 00:13:40.480
with those old school grammar mechanics.

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.820
I know it's probably been awhile unless

00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:43.040
you do teach grammar yourself.

00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:46.560
But definitely fun to
see what our students see

00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.940
and see the structure that's built in

00:13:47.940 --> 00:13:52.370
as far as those rewards, when
students are getting it right.

00:13:52.370 --> 00:13:53.500
And also the support structure

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:56.050
that's in place when they
need a little extra help.

00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:05.260
So Sherry says my school is not listed.

00:14:05.260 --> 00:14:07.960
And what she's referring
to is a school picker

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.660
that appears at the very top
of the Khan Academy dashboard.

00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:13.490
Let me show you what that looks like.

00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:15.630
So here I am logged in
as a teacher, again.

00:14:15.630 --> 00:14:17.920
It says, add your school
and you may search

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:20.520
in your zip code and you
may not find your school.

00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:22.360
Absolutely no worries.

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.480
You can still use it a 100%.

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.320
We are working really hard

00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.830
to get additional schools add to this.

00:14:28.830 --> 00:14:30.340
So if you see any trouble with it, Sherry,

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:33.940
please send us a request
after this webinar.

00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:35.500
And we'll try to get that school added.

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.010
I'm gonna show you how
to make that request

00:14:37.010 --> 00:14:38.360
in about 10 minutes.

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.910
So thanks for calling that out.

00:14:42.030 --> 00:14:42.883
Let's see here.

00:14:44.770 --> 00:14:49.100
Sherry is asking if I am tutoring,
should this process work?

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:50.350
Absolutely.

00:14:50.350 --> 00:14:54.770
Whether you're working with
five students or 150 students,

00:14:54.770 --> 00:14:57.270
everything I'm showing
you is exactly the same.

00:14:57.270 --> 00:15:00.210
And so whether it's choosing content

00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:03.980
for your students or your
tutees, making assignments,

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:06.950
everything can be done no matter
how many students you have.

00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:08.250
Thanks for asking, Sherry.

00:15:10.950 --> 00:15:12.470
Let's see here, Tamera is saying,

00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:14.260
is there a way to have my student access

00:15:14.260 --> 00:15:15.930
the practice questions that I located

00:15:15.930 --> 00:15:19.510
by doing a search on the
topic, ideals of democracy?

00:15:19.510 --> 00:15:22.940
I haven't seen a way to find
them from the student page.

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:24.630
Yeah, so such a good question.

00:15:24.630 --> 00:15:28.100
One of those sort of powerful,
hidden things in Khan Academy

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.437
is that you can come in here

00:15:29.437 --> 00:15:31.120
and you can search for whatever you want.

00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.420
So ideals of democracy, well off

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:36.640
here's the awesome
thing that Tamera found.

00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:37.890
You can definitely, you know,

00:15:37.890 --> 00:15:42.310
go into your teacher classroom

00:15:42.310 --> 00:15:46.190
and add that as a class
that you wanna that use

00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:48.160
and go through the full signup process

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:51.000
like I demoed in about five minutes ago.

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.330
But what you can actually
do is from this page,

00:15:54.330 --> 00:15:55.740
you can start to assign it.

00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:57.240
So check this out.

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.650
Here's this assign bar at the very top.

00:15:59.650 --> 00:16:02.470
And if we make this a little bit bigger,

00:16:02.470 --> 00:16:04.160
she can blow this up on your screen.

00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:06.220
I can say, aha, ideal of democracy.

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:08.000
This is the perfect piece of practice.

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.970
I'm gonna assign it to my
class, to these students.

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:13.280
I can give them the same
questions or different questions.

00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:15.090
I can give them a clear deadline

00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:18.250
and that way, without even
going into the assignment mode,

00:16:18.250 --> 00:16:20.550
you can assign something
the minute you find it.

00:16:20.550 --> 00:16:23.350
So a really powerful way to
immediately get that practice

00:16:23.350 --> 00:16:24.750
into your students' hands.

00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:26.200
Hopefully that's helpful.

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.250
Good question Tamera.

00:16:28.400 --> 00:16:30.163
All right, bout 10 seconds left.

00:16:32.170 --> 00:16:33.820
Lisa is asking what
would be a valuable way

00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:36.330
to use Khan Academy for virtual learning.

00:16:36.330 --> 00:16:37.630
Lisa, I would highly recommend

00:16:37.630 --> 00:16:39.580
that you check out last week's webinar,

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:41.220
which is on our YouTube playlist.

00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:43.140
And I'll share a link later.

00:16:43.140 --> 00:16:45.190
Which gets into all this
stuff around, you know,

00:16:45.190 --> 00:16:48.100
using Khan Academy during a Zoom session

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:50.650
before Zoom session, after a Zoom session.

00:16:50.650 --> 00:16:52.150
But then the bottom line is

00:16:52.150 --> 00:16:54.910
you don't wanna have too much lecture

00:16:54.910 --> 00:16:57.640
in that rare moment of
teacher student interaction.

00:16:57.640 --> 00:16:59.090
Instead you wanna make it really engaging.

00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:01.400
Like Sal Khan talked about
there's a New York Times update

00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:02.690
a couple of weeks ago.

00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:05.150
And so try to use Khan Academy to offload

00:17:05.150 --> 00:17:06.110
some of that stuff.

00:17:06.110 --> 00:17:08.250
Have the students watch
the video ahead of time.

00:17:08.250 --> 00:17:10.220
Have them do some practice ahead of time.

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:12.790
And that way you can use
those virtual sessions

00:17:12.790 --> 00:17:15.480
for lots of engagement,
where you make cold calls,

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.330
you ask questions, you give pop quizzes

00:17:17.330 --> 00:17:19.410
and get students thinking in real time.

00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:21.020
That's my advice.

00:17:21.020 --> 00:17:21.853
Okay.

00:17:21.853 --> 00:17:23.590
Let me pause on the
questions for a second.

00:17:23.590 --> 00:17:25.540
And I'll come back to this I promise.

00:17:25.540 --> 00:17:28.410
And the interest of time I
wanna now actually switch

00:17:28.410 --> 00:17:30.520
from student mode and the teacher mode.

00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.490
So you can see the fruits of your labor.

00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:35.340
So everyone's done the
assignment and by the way,

00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:36.950
here's one really cool thing that's unique

00:17:36.950 --> 00:17:38.830
to the Fall at Khan Academy.

00:17:38.830 --> 00:17:39.840
As you probably heard,

00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:42.350
we have this cool program
called learn storm.

00:17:42.350 --> 00:17:44.210
Which is like everything on Khan Academy,

00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:47.320
a free program to motivate your students

00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:48.450
to really be their best,

00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:50.460
especially at this very tough moment.

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:53.750
And to help celebrate as a
class, your progress together,

00:17:53.750 --> 00:17:55.630
you can always come to
your learn storm tracker.

00:17:55.630 --> 00:17:57.100
So check this out.

00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:58.710
So you're learn storm tracker

00:17:58.710 --> 00:18:00.190
is always gonna be found at the top

00:18:00.190 --> 00:18:02.270
of your Khan Academy dashboard.

00:18:02.270 --> 00:18:04.240
So here I am, as a teacher, I'm logged in.

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.370
And sure enough, the very first
thing is check my progress.

00:18:07.370 --> 00:18:09.200
How am I doing on learn storm,

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.630
You could literally show
this to your students

00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:13.700
to get them so pumped up.

00:18:13.700 --> 00:18:15.800
So you come over here to
student experience demo

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:17.780
to the name of our class.

00:18:17.780 --> 00:18:20.530
I checked for progress and check this out.

00:18:20.530 --> 00:18:24.170
Watch this climb so fast as a tribute

00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:26.400
to all the hard work you just did.

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.820
So if you ever need a little extra way

00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:32.460
to bring mood and excitement
for the back to school season,

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:33.380
this is the way to say, hey,

00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:35.120
we're all in this thing together.

00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:37.520
And even though we may
be a part of this moment,

00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:39.407
we are working together to do big things.

00:18:39.407 --> 00:18:40.990
And you can track the progress

00:18:40.990 --> 00:18:43.240
with this learn storm
tool and share that with

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.950
your class during a zoom session,

00:18:44.950 --> 00:18:46.500
just by sharing your screen.

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:48.670
So definitely check that
out, it's pretty fun.

00:18:48.670 --> 00:18:49.503
Okay.

00:18:49.503 --> 00:18:51.140
Now back to the flow.

00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:53.130
So you've done this
assignment as a student.

00:18:53.130 --> 00:18:55.290
What would you do with that
information as a teacher?

00:18:55.290 --> 00:18:57.210
Let's review this together.

00:18:57.210 --> 00:18:58.483
So I'm gonna come back to my class

00:18:58.483 --> 00:19:01.550
and again, it's called
student experience demo.

00:19:01.550 --> 00:19:03.620
And this time, instead of going to assign,

00:19:03.620 --> 00:19:05.810
I'm gonna go to scores.

00:19:05.810 --> 00:19:06.900
I'm actually make this
a little bit bigger.

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:08.800
So it's a little easier to see.

00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:10.323
And so I'm gonna refresh this.

00:19:12.610 --> 00:19:14.130
I'm gonna check out the results

00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:16.850
from all of your hard
work on this assignment.

00:19:16.850 --> 00:19:18.800
I'm so sorry to put
everyone on the spot here,

00:19:18.800 --> 00:19:21.210
but I do wanna showcase some

00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:23.070
of the great stuff you all have done.

00:19:23.070 --> 00:19:24.630
To go over to identifying nouns,

00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:26.380
which is the exercise you just did.

00:19:29.290 --> 00:19:31.210
And while I check this out,

00:19:31.210 --> 00:19:32.510
I love this so much because

00:19:32.510 --> 00:19:34.590
it's kind of like x-ray
vision for teachers

00:19:34.590 --> 00:19:36.240
where you can drill down
to the question level

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.290
and figure out how things are going.

00:19:38.290 --> 00:19:40.790
And so one of the things
that I immediately see

00:19:40.790 --> 00:19:43.600
is a question one, you all are nailing.

00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:46.590
26 out of 29 of you got
that on the very first try?

00:19:46.590 --> 00:19:47.890
Fantastic.

00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:51.230
Whereas question four was
maybe more of a struggle.

00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:55.670
So I wanna drill down to
that question and say, aha,

00:19:55.670 --> 00:19:58.810
I see that six students
got the incorrect answer.

00:19:58.810 --> 00:20:00.357
So maybe I reteach this one.

00:20:00.357 --> 00:20:03.900
And I go over things like,
is a preposition a noun

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:08.540
is something like exciting
adjective, like creepy a noun.

00:20:08.540 --> 00:20:11.270
And I use it as a teaching moment to say,

00:20:11.270 --> 00:20:15.070
I know a lot of us are sort
of running into trouble here,

00:20:15.070 --> 00:20:16.110
but let's solve it together.

00:20:16.110 --> 00:20:17.920
Let's come together as a class

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.420
to address those misconceptions

00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.253
and make sure that we're all on

00:20:20.253 --> 00:20:22.060
the same page moving forward.

00:20:22.060 --> 00:20:24.380
And again, you can
definitely on your own time,

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.840
click in and see the exact students

00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.670
who are correct or incorrect.

00:20:27.670 --> 00:20:30.330
But for now it kind
keeps it all anonymous,

00:20:30.330 --> 00:20:33.060
which is nice for you because
you can show your students

00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:34.800
that you're paying
attention to their work.

00:20:34.800 --> 00:20:36.970
And they are looking at
it as a class together

00:20:36.970 --> 00:20:39.073
without calling out any one student.

00:20:39.073 --> 00:20:41.380
It's just a nice way to
bring the class together

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:43.970
around your shared work
and your shared experience.

00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:47.180
So I highly recommend going
into these assignment scores

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:49.720
to give that kind of
report out to your class.

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.700
Okay.

00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:52.500
We're now back to our flow now.

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:53.940
What we've talked about so far

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.990
is getting started as a student,

00:20:55.990 --> 00:20:59.520
going into your learner home,
doing your first assignment.

00:20:59.520 --> 00:21:01.690
But if you followed any of
the things that Sal Khan

00:21:01.690 --> 00:21:03.410
has been talking about
these last couple of years,

00:21:03.410 --> 00:21:05.990
even pre COVID, you know, that assignments

00:21:05.990 --> 00:21:07.800
are just the tip of the iceberg.

00:21:07.800 --> 00:21:09.370
One of the things that we strongly believe

00:21:09.370 --> 00:21:12.720
in at Khan Academy is the
power of course mastery

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.290
to really help students do their best

00:21:14.290 --> 00:21:15.700
especially in this difficult moment.

00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:18.840
And that's the idea rather
than just move together.

00:21:18.840 --> 00:21:20.620
Lock step and say, hey, you know,

00:21:20.620 --> 00:21:22.270
half our class is maybe
not getting it right,

00:21:22.270 --> 00:21:23.103
but that's okay.

00:21:23.103 --> 00:21:24.250
We've got to move forward.

00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:27.220
Let's have each student
continue to work on that skill

00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:29.070
until they reach mastery.

00:21:29.070 --> 00:21:31.740
So when they move on to the
next skill and the next unit,

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:33.430
they don't have those Swiss cheese gaps

00:21:33.430 --> 00:21:34.840
in their foundations.

00:21:34.840 --> 00:21:36.120
And they move forward stronger

00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:38.300
and more confident than ever before.

00:21:38.300 --> 00:21:40.265
So if you want to take
advantage of course mastery,

00:21:40.265 --> 00:21:41.890
check this out.

00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:44.450
I'm gonna come back into
my picture dashboard

00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:46.150
just to show you what this looks like.

00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:48.450
I come into the course
mastery section over here.

00:21:48.450 --> 00:21:50.150
So not assignments.

00:21:50.150 --> 00:21:51.303
I click placement.

00:21:52.210 --> 00:21:53.630
I'm gonna set a goal.

00:21:53.630 --> 00:21:54.463
So check this out.

00:21:54.463 --> 00:21:56.940
I'm gonna say, I wanna create a goal

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:58.860
for the 40 new students in my class.

00:21:58.860 --> 00:22:01.920
And I'm gonna say, instead
of focusing on grammar,

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.160
let's move to second grade math.

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.370
And I want you to master
this topic by let's say

00:22:08.370 --> 00:22:09.740
the end of the school year.

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:11.730
So June 1st give or take.

00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:12.883
So we create that goal.

00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:17.090
And now what's gonna happen on your end

00:22:17.090 --> 00:22:19.070
is back in your learner home.

00:22:19.070 --> 00:22:22.170
You're gonna start to see that filter in

00:22:22.170 --> 00:22:24.110
to your course mastery section.

00:22:24.110 --> 00:22:25.910
So to show you what that looks like,

00:22:25.910 --> 00:22:28.440
we're gonna switch back
into our learner view.

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.740
So as you may recall,

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:31.940
we click our name in the
upper right hand corner.

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:35.760
We click learner home
and this time wallah,

00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:37.550
a new section that's appeared.

00:22:37.550 --> 00:22:38.383
Before we had assignments.

00:22:38.383 --> 00:22:39.360
And we did the assignment.

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:40.490
That was great.

00:22:40.490 --> 00:22:42.500
But now there's course mastery.

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:44.220
And a dig into course mastery.

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:45.520
Here's exactly what you do.

00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:47.910
You can follow along on your own screen.

00:22:47.910 --> 00:22:49.690
So first of all, you click second grade.

00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:50.880
That's the goal for the year.

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.410
I want you to master this body of content,

00:22:53.410 --> 00:22:55.960
all the related skills.

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:57.570
I click into that.

00:22:57.570 --> 00:23:01.150
Now, if you are perhaps
a third grade teacher

00:23:01.150 --> 00:23:02.910
and you wanna make sure
that your students master

00:23:02.910 --> 00:23:04.640
in second grade before moving on,

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.710
you can have them to start
with a course challenge.

00:23:06.710 --> 00:23:10.100
That's a quick way to recap
how they're doing at the start.

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:12.760
But for our purposes,
let's say, no, thanks.

00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:14.510
And let's just follow the blue buttons.

00:23:14.510 --> 00:23:17.910
Cause' really that's kind of
the digital cookie crumb trail

00:23:17.910 --> 00:23:20.570
that you want to teach your
students to always follow.

00:23:20.570 --> 00:23:22.910
When in doubt, look for the blue.

00:23:22.910 --> 00:23:25.860
So in this case, we go to get
started under the first unit.

00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:28.570
Then we go for the first blue button,

00:23:28.570 --> 00:23:30.900
which is the first skill
of second grade math

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:33.210
adding within 20 visually.

00:23:33.210 --> 00:23:35.090
And again, we click the Start button

00:23:35.090 --> 00:23:37.330
and did we dive right into
this practice session?

00:23:37.330 --> 00:23:38.960
Let's go.

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.330
So just like before,

00:23:40.330 --> 00:23:42.740
I would love for you
to spend a few minutes

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:46.040
doing your first experience of
course mastery as a student.

00:23:46.040 --> 00:23:48.230
So you can see what that feels like.

00:23:48.230 --> 00:23:50.180
So I'm gonna start the timer over here.

00:23:51.030 --> 00:23:53.473
And again, just to retrace my steps.

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.740
I was back here at my teacher dashboard

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:58.310
and I came to my name.

00:23:58.310 --> 00:23:59.763
I came to learner home.

00:24:01.412 --> 00:24:04.260
And then I found out that
I had not just assignments,

00:24:04.260 --> 00:24:05.633
but also course mastery.

00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:10.263
I'm gonna refresh that while
there's course mastery.

00:24:11.490 --> 00:24:14.593
I click second grade to dig
into this lofty goal we have.

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:18.323
Say, no thanks to course
challenge for now.

00:24:18.323 --> 00:24:20.940
And then I just follow the blue buttons.

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:24.300
Get started and start this skill.

00:24:24.300 --> 00:24:25.800
Now I'm off to the races.

00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:28.860
So again, spend a few minutes
just going through that,

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:31.070
try getting a couple of answers, right?

00:24:31.070 --> 00:24:32.470
A couple of wrong.

00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:34.300
See how Khan Academy responds

00:24:34.300 --> 00:24:36.620
and how it supports you along the way.

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:37.453
And as you do that,

00:24:37.453 --> 00:24:39.910
I'm gonna answer some
questions that have come in.

00:24:39.910 --> 00:24:43.233
So, let's see here.

00:24:45.060 --> 00:24:46.100
Diane says,

00:24:46.100 --> 00:24:48.800
do you have a suggestion for
how to pick just one assignment

00:24:48.800 --> 00:24:50.430
for a particular topic?

00:24:50.430 --> 00:24:51.983
When I assigned a topic to a student,

00:24:51.983 --> 00:24:54.150
I assign to large number of assignments

00:24:54.150 --> 00:24:56.300
and it became totally unmanageable,

00:24:56.300 --> 00:24:57.990
which overwhelmed the student.

00:24:57.990 --> 00:24:59.950
And I feel your pain, Diane,

00:24:59.950 --> 00:25:01.360
because this is one of
the biggest pitfalls

00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:04.830
that I encountered when I first
started using Khan Academy

00:25:04.830 --> 00:25:09.230
is I would be over here
on my teacher screen.

00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:11.047
And I would say, you know what,

00:25:11.047 --> 00:25:14.310
I'm gonna do an assignment
and I'm gonna assign

00:25:14.310 --> 00:25:16.440
basically an entire unit.

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.770
Well, the problem with that

00:25:17.770 --> 00:25:20.340
is that I'm assigning 24 things at once.

00:25:20.340 --> 00:25:22.230
That's video is maybe articles,

00:25:22.230 --> 00:25:25.000
some practice that's way too much.

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.640
I highly recommend the
laser focus especially

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:29.130
at the start of the year.

00:25:29.130 --> 00:25:30.767
You're just getting
your students warmed up

00:25:30.767 --> 00:25:33.870
and you say there's only one
thing I want you to focus on.

00:25:33.870 --> 00:25:34.870
And most likely that's the thing

00:25:34.870 --> 00:25:36.470
that you've just talked about in class

00:25:36.470 --> 00:25:38.080
during your last session.

00:25:38.080 --> 00:25:39.200
So if I had just taught

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.400
about adding and subtracting within 20,

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.667
I would choose only that singular skill.

00:25:43.667 --> 00:25:45.880
and I would assign only that.

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.690
And that way we have baby
steps in the Khan Academy,

00:25:48.690 --> 00:25:50.750
as opposed to that feeling
of being overwhelmed.

00:25:50.750 --> 00:25:51.800
Great question Diane.

00:25:52.890 --> 00:25:54.610
Okay, Julian is saying,

00:25:54.610 --> 00:25:57.120
how do you assign something
on Google Classroom?

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:59.470
So, the first thing is
you do have to assign it

00:25:59.470 --> 00:26:01.100
using the techniques
we've already talked about

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:03.660
on Khan Academy if you
want to put a track it

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:06.980
on Khan Academy and get
all those valuable reports.

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:07.823
So that means either assigning it

00:26:07.823 --> 00:26:10.050
through your teacher dashboard.

00:26:10.050 --> 00:26:11.990
We're actually on the section itself.

00:26:11.990 --> 00:26:14.130
You're using that little
assigned blue bar,

00:26:14.130 --> 00:26:17.500
but that being said, once
you have something going,

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:19.580
here's what you can do next.

00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:21.870
Let me actually just get
this going for you here.

00:26:21.870 --> 00:26:22.820
Hold on one moment.

00:26:24.090 --> 00:26:26.963
So we expand this.

00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:31.830
You may get out of this modal mode.

00:26:37.300 --> 00:26:39.140
You'll notice there's
this Google Classroom link

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:41.690
under every video and every practice.

00:26:41.690 --> 00:26:42.920
And by clicking that link?

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.540
Just like you would a Facebook
link or a Twitter link.

00:26:45.540 --> 00:26:48.000
You're basically sending it
to your Google Classroom.

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:49.260
So as long as you're logged into Google,

00:26:49.260 --> 00:26:50.850
as long as your classroom is set up,

00:26:50.850 --> 00:26:53.390
you can specifically send
that piece of content

00:26:53.390 --> 00:26:55.160
straight into your classroom account.

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:56.480
And that's a nice supplement

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.070
to the assignments that
already exist in Khan Academy.

00:26:59.070 --> 00:27:01.950
Hope that helps, okay.

00:27:01.950 --> 00:27:03.360
Let's keep tabs on our timer here.

00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:04.960
We're down to about two minutes.

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.180
Okay, great question Juliet.

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:09.180
Is a Tamera is doing well.

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:10.861
Lisa's doing well.

00:27:10.861 --> 00:27:13.240
Let's see here.

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:14.530
Ooh, Ms. Delly says,

00:27:14.530 --> 00:27:16.510
how do we archive last year's class

00:27:16.510 --> 00:27:18.310
in order to start a new class this year?

00:27:18.310 --> 00:27:19.580
Great question.

00:27:19.580 --> 00:27:21.530
So if you have something
that you wanna get rid of,

00:27:21.530 --> 00:27:23.860
cause' it's cluttering
up your kit or dashboard,

00:27:23.860 --> 00:27:25.980
you can always come down to
the settings and just say,

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:27.150
you know what?

00:27:27.150 --> 00:27:29.010
I'm gonna delete this class.

00:27:29.010 --> 00:27:30.760
And the data still exists.

00:27:30.760 --> 00:27:33.031
So the the students aren't
gonna lose their data.

00:27:33.031 --> 00:27:35.700
But it we will be removed
from your dashboard.

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:38.210
So you don't have all this
information overwhelming you

00:27:38.210 --> 00:27:40.380
cause' overwhelm is real,
not just for students,

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:42.180
but also for educators.

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:45.060
So definitely check that out. (mumbles)

00:27:45.060 --> 00:27:46.430
All right, let's see here.

00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:47.630
And Lisa said,

00:27:47.630 --> 00:27:49.920
how do you get to that grade book again?

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.820
So if you ever wanna get back

00:27:50.820 --> 00:27:52.490
to that assignment grade book,

00:27:52.490 --> 00:27:56.740
all you do is assignments
and then scores and wallah.

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:59.280
You now have the results
for each of those sections.

00:27:59.280 --> 00:28:00.600
So identify nouns.

00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:02.400
Let's see how students did.

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.233
Okay.

00:28:03.233 --> 00:28:06.223
So now we're down to the final 30 seconds.

00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:08.960
Rosemary is saying,

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.860
do students do work with
pen and paper at desk?

00:28:11.860 --> 00:28:13.400
Or can they sell digitally?

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.440
Ooh, such a good question.

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.140
I'm glad you brought that up Rosemary.

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:19.250
So when you were doing
work on Khan Academy,

00:28:19.250 --> 00:28:20.250
you may have noticed this

00:28:20.250 --> 00:28:21.640
and I hope this is one of the benefits

00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.480
of actually doing these things

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.220
is that you can actually start to draw

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:28.120
on the screen as a student.

00:28:28.120 --> 00:28:29.750
So whether you're using your computer

00:28:29.750 --> 00:28:32.850
or Chromebook or tablet or phone,

00:28:32.850 --> 00:28:34.500
you click this little button

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:36.160
and you can literally do some doodles

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.930
and some sort of quick
calculations right on your screen.

00:28:39.930 --> 00:28:43.010
But, what I always
encourage students to do

00:28:43.010 --> 00:28:45.050
is whatever is most effective for them.

00:28:45.050 --> 00:28:46.290
If that means using pen and paper,

00:28:46.290 --> 00:28:48.580
if that means using a little
sort of personal whiteboard

00:28:48.580 --> 00:28:51.190
on their desk, by all means.

00:28:51.190 --> 00:28:52.023
Great question.

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:54.590
All right.

00:28:54.590 --> 00:28:57.460
So we have come to the end of step five

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:59.633
and now it's the big moment of truth.

00:28:59.633 --> 00:29:03.210
So don't fail me now is our final step.

00:29:03.210 --> 00:29:05.520
We're reviewing the progress together.

00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:08.290
And I'm super excited to show you

00:29:08.290 --> 00:29:11.120
not just course master
progress at a high level,

00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:14.900
but specifically x-ray
view into the skills

00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:16.600
that your students are generating.

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:18.470
So again, everyone in my class

00:29:18.470 --> 00:29:21.440
has just completed their
first course mastery practice

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.080
which is awesome.

00:29:23.080 --> 00:29:24.390
When I come here,

00:29:24.390 --> 00:29:26.960
I can look at that through
two different lenses.

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.960
First of all, I have this lens
of overall course progress.

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.710
And I can say Melissa
and Pamela and Regina

00:29:33.710 --> 00:29:34.590
are off to the races.

00:29:34.590 --> 00:29:35.858
They're doing great.

00:29:35.858 --> 00:29:37.670
And I can literally track
that at the unit level

00:29:37.670 --> 00:29:40.180
and at the overall course level as well.

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:42.970
Cause all your goal is
always a 100% course mastery.

00:29:42.970 --> 00:29:45.810
I want everyone in my class
to master all these skills.

00:29:45.810 --> 00:29:48.080
However, just this summer,

00:29:48.080 --> 00:29:51.220
have we rolled out a brand
new report called skills.

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:52.840
And here's where you find it.

00:29:52.840 --> 00:29:54.420
So again, you're in
your teacher dashboard,

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:55.997
you're in your specific classroom

00:29:55.997 --> 00:29:58.930
and you go to activity overview

00:29:58.930 --> 00:30:01.000
and then you go to skills.

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.940
And what you will find here

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:05.910
are all the skills in your entire course.

00:30:05.910 --> 00:30:08.010
Whether it's grammar, whether it's math,

00:30:08.010 --> 00:30:11.260
whether it's science,
all laid out for you.

00:30:11.260 --> 00:30:12.880
And then when you click on it,

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.240
you can actually see how everyone is doing

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.400
in terms of that spectrum
from first getting started,

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.550
getting familiar, getting proficient

00:30:20.550 --> 00:30:23.230
and ultimately mastering that skill.

00:30:23.230 --> 00:30:24.630
I think this is such a powerful thing

00:30:24.630 --> 00:30:26.530
because you know, when I was a teacher,

00:30:26.530 --> 00:30:29.360
I almost did all of my
assessment at the unit level.

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:31.440
And I knew who was exceeding in general

00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:33.170
and who was struggling in general.

00:30:33.170 --> 00:30:35.287
But I didn't always know
the specific students

00:30:35.287 --> 00:30:37.890
and the specific skills
that were holding them back.

00:30:37.890 --> 00:30:40.630
And now you have that
all on a single report.

00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:42.980
So what you might say is, okay,

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:46.140
I'm feeling great about
Larry and Ori, Ms. Daniel,

00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:49.600
but I'm a little worried
about Tami and Kristin.

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:52.300
And what you can do is you
can actually assign the skill

00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:55.110
just to the students who might
be struggling a little bit.

00:30:55.110 --> 00:30:57.540
And that way they get that extra practice

00:30:57.540 --> 00:30:59.250
before you move on as a class.

00:30:59.250 --> 00:31:01.190
So again, put them as extra goggles,

00:31:01.190 --> 00:31:03.030
get a sense of how your class is doing.

00:31:03.030 --> 00:31:04.700
And this is a really powerful new report

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:06.920
that I hope to help you try out.

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:07.753
Okay.

00:31:07.753 --> 00:31:09.710
So now I know we're almost at time.

00:31:09.710 --> 00:31:12.580
So I do wanna finish with
a quick recap for you.

00:31:12.580 --> 00:31:14.300
If there are three things

00:31:14.300 --> 00:31:17.320
that you wanna show your students
at the start of this year,

00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:18.920
whether your school
year has already begun,

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.070
or whether it's about to begin next week

00:31:21.070 --> 00:31:24.460
is number one, when in
doubt with registration,

00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:27.550
the simplest thing to do is
just share your class link.

00:31:27.550 --> 00:31:29.250
You come into your class.

00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:32.800
You come to students and
you share that class code.

00:31:32.800 --> 00:31:35.550
And that'll get students up
and running pretty quickly.

00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.480
Number two, you're gonna
train your students

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:41.940
that once they've gone
ahead and registered,

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:45.590
all the action is gonna
appear on their learner home.

00:31:45.590 --> 00:31:46.850
So they're gonna come up to their names.

00:31:46.850 --> 00:31:48.670
They're gonna click learn her home.

00:31:48.670 --> 00:31:49.860
And they're gonna see all classes

00:31:49.860 --> 00:31:51.560
they're a part of and
all their assignments

00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:54.360
and all their course mastery on one place.

00:31:54.360 --> 00:31:56.570
And then finally as mentioned here in the

00:31:56.570 --> 00:31:59.550
third point assignments
and course mastery,

00:31:59.550 --> 00:32:03.440
they'll be notified right
here on their learner home.

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.760
So here are the notifications,

00:32:04.760 --> 00:32:06.100
here's, what's coming in.

00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:07.400
Here's what to do.

00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:08.530
And that way,

00:32:08.530 --> 00:32:11.460
even if everyone is learning
at home learning remotely,

00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:14.000
you can centralize that
the single source of truth

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.280
about what you're handing
out all in one place.

00:32:17.280 --> 00:32:19.030
That being said a couple of things

00:32:19.030 --> 00:32:20.520
I wanna call out before

00:32:20.520 --> 00:32:22.640
I start taking your questions live again.

00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.430
I know that they're gonna
be more questions either now

00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:26.760
or in the next few weeks.

00:32:26.760 --> 00:32:29.440
So I want you to have all
the resources possible.

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.060
Number one, I wanna try
to take as many questions

00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:32.600
as possible right now.

00:32:32.600 --> 00:32:34.060
But if you don't get
your question answered

00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:36.700
or something else comes
up over the long weekend

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.960
or in the showers of getting ready

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:39.460
for the first day of school,

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:41.720
here are two amazing resources.

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:43.740
Number one, you can always ask

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:46.340
our support team using this
link bit.ly/khanquestion

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:49.637
Basically what that is doing is

00:32:49.637 --> 00:32:54.340
it's taking you from the
help link at the very top.

00:32:54.340 --> 00:32:57.403
So click your name, you click help,

00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:00.470
and then you report a problem.

00:33:00.470 --> 00:33:02.050
And even though that
sounds kind of negative,

00:33:02.050 --> 00:33:04.030
it's basically a chance to say, hey,

00:33:04.030 --> 00:33:05.510
I've got an idea for Khan Academy

00:33:05.510 --> 00:33:06.760
or I have a bug and Khan Academy,

00:33:06.760 --> 00:33:08.287
or I have a question about Khan Academy.

00:33:08.287 --> 00:33:10.370
And we typically respond
in a couple of hours

00:33:10.370 --> 00:33:11.600
even at the start of the school year.

00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:15.450
So definitely lean on our
community support team for help.

00:33:15.450 --> 00:33:17.210
And then in addition,

00:33:17.210 --> 00:33:19.140
make sure to check out
with fellow teachers

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:21.710
what they're doing and learn
from their best practices.

00:33:21.710 --> 00:33:23.270
And you can do that on our Facebook group

00:33:23.270 --> 00:33:24.850
called Teach with Khan.

00:33:24.850 --> 00:33:26.380
And as you can see,
people are saying help,

00:33:26.380 --> 00:33:27.790
I have a question.

00:33:27.790 --> 00:33:28.947
And teachers are sort of coming in

00:33:28.947 --> 00:33:31.460
and sort of sharing their
expertise left right in central.

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:35.440
So take advantage of that
tool as the school year dawns.

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.360
Okay, that being said, let me
take your questions live now.

00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:42.190
So Stephanie, I'm gonna lead off of you.

00:33:42.190 --> 00:33:45.700
You say our students have
fake Google email addresses

00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:47.570
Khan Academy recognizes them,

00:33:47.570 --> 00:33:49.640
but it's gonna work in
the same way to login.

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:50.950
Absolutely.

00:33:50.950 --> 00:33:53.490
Even if you've totally made
up these Google accounts,

00:33:53.490 --> 00:33:55.730
just for the purpose of
getting your students enrolled,

00:33:55.730 --> 00:33:57.160
everything is the same.

00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.510
They come in, they log in
with those fake credentials

00:33:59.510 --> 00:34:00.820
that you created for them.

00:34:00.820 --> 00:34:02.980
And they're gonna see
that same learner home,

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:06.310
those same assignments, that
same course mastery goals,

00:34:06.310 --> 00:34:07.600
regardless of how they log in.

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:10.653
So, definitely you're gonna
see very similar results.

00:34:12.020 --> 00:34:13.223
Let's see here.

00:34:15.010 --> 00:34:18.990
Melissa says is the drawing
tool available for English?

00:34:18.990 --> 00:34:19.860
Yeah, great question.

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:21.750
Let's let you try that out together.

00:34:21.750 --> 00:34:23.800
So we're gonna come back to Khan Academy.

00:34:26.253 --> 00:34:29.412
We're gonna come back to
our student experience demo,

00:34:29.412 --> 00:34:31.190
and we're gonna go back into
that sort of grade book,

00:34:31.190 --> 00:34:33.043
if you will, identifying nouns.

00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:37.370
And what I'm happy to say is that wallah,

00:34:37.370 --> 00:34:41.030
here's the virtual
whiteboard, even for grammar.

00:34:41.030 --> 00:34:43.040
So if you want to do
any incentives diagrams,

00:34:43.040 --> 00:34:44.820
if you want to break out
your digital red pen,

00:34:44.820 --> 00:34:49.220
by all means go ahead and take
a take advantage of this tool

00:34:49.220 --> 00:34:50.790
cause' it is a nice way.

00:34:50.790 --> 00:34:53.190
Even if you don't have a
whiteboard built in like Zoom has,

00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:54.700
you're using a different platform,

00:34:54.700 --> 00:34:56.710
you can absolutely
start drawing right here

00:34:56.710 --> 00:34:58.850
and get your students off to the races.

00:34:58.850 --> 00:35:00.050
Great question, Melissa.

00:35:02.681 --> 00:35:04.040
Ally says, how can I unassign something?

00:35:04.040 --> 00:35:06.470
Oh I assigned too much not
knowing what I was doing.

00:35:06.470 --> 00:35:07.930
And I totally get it Ally.

00:35:07.930 --> 00:35:09.700
I was in that same boat when

00:35:09.700 --> 00:35:11.960
I was playing around with
Khan Academy at first.

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.260
But what you wanna do
is you wanna come back

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:16.150
here to the assignments section.

00:35:16.150 --> 00:35:17.890
You wanna say, manage this time.

00:35:17.890 --> 00:35:20.260
So that's the last of these three options.

00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:23.090
And then you wanna come in
here and say, you know what?

00:35:23.090 --> 00:35:24.680
I went a little bit overboard.

00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:27.550
Let me go ahead and edit this assignment

00:35:27.550 --> 00:35:30.530
and this case, you know, maybe
I'll go ahead and delete it.

00:35:30.530 --> 00:35:32.240
And in that case,

00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:34.410
you don't have to have all
these students suffering under

00:35:34.410 --> 00:35:35.243
all these assignments.

00:35:35.243 --> 00:35:36.800
You can keep it way more simple.

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:38.440
Hope that helps.

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.603
Okay, great question.

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:41.633
Let's see.

00:35:43.040 --> 00:35:45.420
Stephanie says I'm an
instructional math coach

00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:47.740
with no kids of my own to
experiment on thanks Jeremy.

00:35:47.740 --> 00:35:48.573
Okay.

00:35:48.573 --> 00:35:50.020
Absolutely, I have to tell you all,

00:35:50.020 --> 00:35:52.310
in addition to being a former teacher,

00:35:52.310 --> 00:35:53.390
I have two little kids at home

00:35:53.390 --> 00:35:55.130
and they are my Khan Academy, Guinea pigs.

00:35:55.130 --> 00:35:56.710
So they are so sick of all this stuff,

00:35:56.710 --> 00:35:58.590
but I have tried it out all on them.

00:35:58.590 --> 00:36:02.550
Definitely get tested,
if not get approved.

00:36:02.550 --> 00:36:03.470
Okay.

00:36:03.470 --> 00:36:05.680
Rosemary says, can I assign mastery

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:07.940
in small chunks with a short deadline?

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:10.910
For example, I wanna see how a
new fourth grader understands

00:36:10.910 --> 00:36:12.860
third grade place value.

00:36:12.860 --> 00:36:14.110
Yeah, so I actually have

00:36:14.110 --> 00:36:17.010
a really cool new
resource for you Rosemary.

00:36:17.010 --> 00:36:20.610
Right now is sort of a mid
flaw of course mastery,

00:36:20.610 --> 00:36:23.260
which is an operates at this course level,

00:36:23.260 --> 00:36:25.150
which can often feel too massive

00:36:25.150 --> 00:36:26.910
especially at the start of the year.

00:36:26.910 --> 00:36:29.280
But brand new on Khan Academy this year

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:32.670
is the ability to come in click courses

00:36:32.670 --> 00:36:35.490
and then seeing the things
called get ready courses.

00:36:35.490 --> 00:36:38.500
And what that is, is our attempt to get

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:40.980
your students up to speed for grade level,

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:44.000
given that so much there's up
in the air this past spring.

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.380
And so you're gonna find
very curated sort of cuts

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:49.950
of just the most important
skills for third grade

00:36:49.950 --> 00:36:52.330
or for algebra, for precalculus.

00:36:52.330 --> 00:36:55.220
And so you can assign course
mastery for these courses,

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:57.050
and that can be done in a couple of weeks.

00:36:57.050 --> 00:36:58.930
Not in 26 weeks.

00:36:58.930 --> 00:37:00.940
And hopefully that'll get you
moving a little bit faster.

00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:02.770
Hope that helps Rosemary, right?

00:37:02.770 --> 00:37:04.683
Stephanie says, wahoo wahoo indeed.

00:37:06.570 --> 00:37:08.370
Diane says I was excited to be joining.

00:37:08.370 --> 00:37:09.478
Thank you for being here, Diane.

00:37:09.478 --> 00:37:11.503
Thank you for being
such an awesome student.

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.970
Tamera says, can you
please explain a bit about

00:37:15.970 --> 00:37:17.270
level up or down?

00:37:17.270 --> 00:37:18.940
Ooh, such a good question.

00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:19.957
I'm taking a government class

00:37:19.957 --> 00:37:22.290
and I went through a practice set today.

00:37:22.290 --> 00:37:23.760
I scored maybe like three out of four

00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.420
or four to five or something.

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:27.110
It was the first time I had taken it.

00:37:27.110 --> 00:37:30.310
And then I was surprised
to see the red down arrow.

00:37:30.310 --> 00:37:31.670
What's going on?

00:37:31.670 --> 00:37:32.503
Well, it's so funny.

00:37:32.503 --> 00:37:34.550
You mentioned this Tamera cause' cell com

00:37:34.550 --> 00:37:36.150
was actually on this
radio show this morning

00:37:36.150 --> 00:37:37.813
I was listening to and
a parent called them

00:37:37.813 --> 00:37:40.110
with the same exact
question, which is like,

00:37:40.110 --> 00:37:42.410
how demoralizing is it for my kid?

00:37:42.410 --> 00:37:45.960
If all of a sudden I see
the scores going down.

00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.420
Well, the reason that that happens

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:49.600
is that what Khan is trying to do

00:37:49.600 --> 00:37:50.870
is trying to always assess

00:37:50.870 --> 00:37:52.980
the mastery level of your students.

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:54.766
And I want it to be pretty
clear right about this.

00:37:54.766 --> 00:37:56.000
It doesn't want to say, hey, you know,

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:57.730
you mastered something in the past,

00:37:57.730 --> 00:37:59.960
or you when you gave you
some space repetition

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:01.760
when we showed it to you again,

00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:03.970
and this time you totally didn't get it,

00:38:03.970 --> 00:38:05.150
well we can't really still call you

00:38:05.150 --> 00:38:07.280
at sort of that master level.

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:08.790
And so when in doubt,

00:38:08.790 --> 00:38:13.790
I highly recommend coming
back to your skills report.

00:38:14.520 --> 00:38:18.030
So here's activity
overview, here's skills.

00:38:18.030 --> 00:38:20.800
And check this out for every single level,

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.730
we will give you the
definition of what attempted,

00:38:23.730 --> 00:38:26.320
familiar, proficient and master means.

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:27.890
So if you're ever wondering,

00:38:27.890 --> 00:38:30.040
why did I go from master to proficient

00:38:30.040 --> 00:38:31.830
or familiar to proficient person?

00:38:31.830 --> 00:38:34.600
We will give you that intel
and that definition right here.

00:38:34.600 --> 00:38:36.500
So hopefully be the Rosetta stone

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:39.690
if you will to explain
some of those conundrums.

00:38:39.690 --> 00:38:40.957
Great question Tamera.

00:38:42.250 --> 00:38:43.813
All right, let's see here.

00:38:45.473 --> 00:38:47.090
Well, Diane says,

00:38:47.090 --> 00:38:49.070
how has get ready for
fourth grade different

00:38:49.070 --> 00:38:50.680
than using learn storm?

00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:51.590
I'm so glad you asked,

00:38:51.590 --> 00:38:56.550
because learn storm is more a
sort of key motivational thing

00:38:56.550 --> 00:38:59.500
that runs across all the courses we offer.

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:01.640
So you may notice at
the top of Khan Academy,

00:39:01.640 --> 00:39:03.530
in this course directory,

00:39:03.530 --> 00:39:06.240
we kind of have this is a massive spectrum

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:07.750
of content offerings.

00:39:07.750 --> 00:39:11.770
Everything from math, the
stem to arts and humanity,

00:39:11.770 --> 00:39:13.740
even career courses.

00:39:13.740 --> 00:39:16.760
And so what we say is,
no matter what you teach,

00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:18.730
we wanna make sure that you get credit

00:39:18.730 --> 00:39:20.217
for getting your students going

00:39:20.217 --> 00:39:22.200
and your students get
motivation, especially

00:39:22.200 --> 00:39:23.550
in this tough moment.

00:39:23.550 --> 00:39:25.730
And so anytime you make an assignment

00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:27.630
and your students make progress,

00:39:27.630 --> 00:39:30.650
you will start to see that
learn storm tracker grow.

00:39:30.650 --> 00:39:32.610
And that's true for get ready courses.

00:39:32.610 --> 00:39:35.260
It's true for AP, art history
is true for everything.

00:39:37.270 --> 00:39:38.520
That said, these get ready courses

00:39:38.520 --> 00:39:40.600
were built specifically this year

00:39:40.600 --> 00:39:42.610
given the fact that so many teachers said,

00:39:42.610 --> 00:39:44.580
I'm a little bit worried about the Fall.

00:39:44.580 --> 00:39:47.130
You know, my own class in the spring

00:39:47.130 --> 00:39:48.900
didn't end the way it would normally.

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:50.220
We didn't cover all the content

00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:51.730
we would normally get to.

00:39:51.730 --> 00:39:54.360
So I can expect that some
of my students coming in

00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:55.840
maybe a little bit less prepared

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:58.120
or a little bit less unready
than they would have been

00:39:58.120 --> 00:39:59.000
in a normal year.

00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.160
And so this is specifically
about plugging those holes,

00:40:02.160 --> 00:40:04.280
catching them up on those key skills

00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:05.940
so that in the middle of the year,

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:07.603
you don't learn for the Swiss cheese gaps

00:40:07.603 --> 00:40:10.112
that might be holding your student back.

00:40:10.112 --> 00:40:12.430
And again, if you assign
some of this work,

00:40:12.430 --> 00:40:14.630
it will also count
towards the learn storm,

00:40:14.630 --> 00:40:17.620
but it is a little more focused
on content than motivation.

00:40:17.620 --> 00:40:18.890
Cause' learn storm is about motivation

00:40:18.890 --> 00:40:20.230
at the end of the day.

00:40:20.230 --> 00:40:21.540
Great question, Diane.

00:40:21.540 --> 00:40:22.430
Okay.

00:40:22.430 --> 00:40:23.390
So let me sort of

00:40:23.390 --> 00:40:25.800
come back here and give you a quick recap.

00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.990
I love that you all totally
rock my class today.

00:40:28.990 --> 00:40:31.120
It makes me feel really good as a teacher

00:40:31.120 --> 00:40:32.420
to see that so many folks

00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:36.010
were getting proficient and
mastery on all those key skills.

00:40:36.010 --> 00:40:38.370
What's more important
to me quite honestly,

00:40:38.370 --> 00:40:41.610
is that you are ready to rock
your own classrooms this Fall.

00:40:41.610 --> 00:40:44.450
If there's anything we can do
to support you along the way,

00:40:44.450 --> 00:40:47.820
please let us know, ask
questions to our support team,

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:49.650
connect with us online,

00:40:49.650 --> 00:40:51.900
or even let me know in the
survey after the session

00:40:51.900 --> 00:40:53.560
what you wanna see next.

00:40:53.560 --> 00:40:56.600
I have a team of a bunch of
ambassadors around the country

00:40:56.600 --> 00:40:58.740
who are just chomping at the
bit to share their expertise

00:40:58.740 --> 00:41:01.320
with you in response to your needs.

00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:02.450
So if you let me know that you need

00:41:02.450 --> 00:41:03.970
a webinar about motivation,

00:41:03.970 --> 00:41:07.490
or you need a tool focused on XYZ content,

00:41:07.490 --> 00:41:09.130
we will get to work on that.

00:41:09.130 --> 00:41:11.670
In the meantime, I wish
you all an amazing,

00:41:11.670 --> 00:41:14.090
and well-deserved long
weekend this weekend,

00:41:14.090 --> 00:41:17.620
and then a great start or
resumption of the year next week.

00:41:17.620 --> 00:41:19.670
I know there's a lot
resting on your shoulders,

00:41:19.670 --> 00:41:21.810
but I also know you're gonna
knock it out of the park.

00:41:21.810 --> 00:41:23.800
Thank you so much for all that you do,

00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:25.830
and here's wishing you tremendous success.

00:41:25.830 --> 00:41:26.663
Cheers everyone.


Challenges of naturalization

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.280
- Now that we've talked about
the naturalization process

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:06.710
and the eligibility
requirements for naturalization,

00:00:06.710 --> 00:00:09.050
let's talk about how difficult it can be

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:11.830
to become a naturalized citizen.

00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:14.710
Immigrant residents seeking naturalization

00:00:14.710 --> 00:00:17.260
face barriers throughout the process.

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.340
And it's only become
more difficult over time.

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:23.330
Immigrants face strict
requirements to become

00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:25.260
lawful permanent residents,

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:27.900
and when they try to become U.S. citizens,

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:32.670
they face increased filing
costs and long processing times

00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:34.380
for their applications.

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.090
Certain groups of immigrants get priority

00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:40.590
when they apply for lawful
permanent resident status.

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.040
As the Pew Research Center reported,

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:47.180
in 2015, 44% of green
cards went to immigrants

00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:50.820
who were immediate
relatives of U.S. citizens.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:54.790
And 20% went to immigrants who
were extended family members

00:00:54.790 --> 00:00:58.300
of citizens and lawful
permanent residents.

00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:02.700
Having special skills, like
being a talented doctor

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.140
or doing innovative research,

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:09.200
or special talents, like
being a gifted athlete,

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.910
means you're in the most prioritized group

00:01:11.910 --> 00:01:14.560
for employment-based preferences

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.130
for lawful permanent residents.

00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:20.220
If you don't have special
skills or talents,

00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:24.390
you can still be eligible for
employment-based residency,

00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.020
but you have to have an
employer willing to complete

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:30.190
all the necessary paperwork
with the federal government.

00:01:30.190 --> 00:01:32.680
As that is an added cost,

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.070
some employers refuse to hire people

00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:37.140
from outside the United States.

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:40.540
So if you don't have
any specialized skills,

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:43.800
a job offer, an employer
willing to file paperwork

00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:45.540
for labor certification,

00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:48.280
a parent with lawful permanent resident

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.070
or citizenship status,

00:01:50.070 --> 00:01:53.710
it's difficult to get
lawful permanent status.

00:01:53.710 --> 00:01:55.240
The challenges continue

00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:57.670
throughout the naturalization process.

00:01:57.670 --> 00:02:00.540
It takes years for lawful
permanent residents

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:02.450
to become American citizens.

00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:05.730
Remember that even to
apply for naturalization,

00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:07.770
lawful permanent residents
have to have lived

00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:10.390
in the United States
for at least five years.

00:02:10.390 --> 00:02:13.250
But the process can take
much longer than that.

00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:16.300
The median time it takes for
lawful permanent residents

00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.400
to become citizens is
actually eight years.

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.440
Part of the reason that it takes so long

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:23.960
is because of how long it takes to process

00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.240
a naturalization application.

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.830
The federal government has
experienced a significant backlog

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:32.100
of applications waiting for processing.

00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:35.630
And the average time to process
a citizenship application

00:02:35.630 --> 00:02:38.010
has doubled since 2012.

00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:40.720
This is due to a surge in applications

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:44.210
and stricter scrutiny
on those applications.

00:02:44.210 --> 00:02:47.460
And the costs associated with filing

00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:49.430
a naturalization application

00:02:49.430 --> 00:02:51.950
have also increased significantly.

00:02:51.950 --> 00:02:53.620
Let's take a look at this chart.

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:58.620
In 1985, it only cost $35 for a person

00:02:58.650 --> 00:03:00.560
to file an application.

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.370
Now it costs over $1,000 to file.

00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:06.514
Why does it cost so much more?

00:03:06.514 --> 00:03:10.910
USCIS argues that the
increased fees are necessary

00:03:10.910 --> 00:03:14.440
to offset the growing cost
of processing applications

00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:16.820
and deterring fraud.

00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:19.490
And this graph doesn't
cover all of the costs

00:03:19.490 --> 00:03:23.470
an immigrant might incur during
the naturalization process,

00:03:23.470 --> 00:03:25.440
since it doesn't include any of the costs

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:28.680
associated with getting
a lawyer to advise them

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.160
or any classes that
they might need to take

00:03:31.160 --> 00:03:34.380
in order to learn English or U.S. Civics.

00:03:34.380 --> 00:03:38.100
Although immigrant residents
face a number of challenges

00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:40.110
to become naturalized citizens,

00:03:40.110 --> 00:03:43.970
hundreds of thousands apply
for naturalization every year,

00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:47.510
because the benefits of
becoming a naturalized citizen

00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:49.793
often outweigh the costs.


The naturalization process

WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: en

00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:01.900
- [Instructor] In this
video, we're going to discuss

00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:06.010
the naturalization process,
which noncitizens go through

00:00:06.010 --> 00:00:08.900
in order to gain their US citizenship.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.020
Heads up that we won't be talking about

00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:15.130
the eligibility requirements
that noncitizens must meet,

00:00:15.130 --> 00:00:17.990
or any of the challenges
that they might face

00:00:17.990 --> 00:00:20.290
along the path to naturalization.

00:00:20.290 --> 00:00:22.340
We'll cover those in other videos.

00:00:22.340 --> 00:00:24.880
This is just an overview of what happens

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.580
at each step in the process.

00:00:27.580 --> 00:00:31.950
If a noncitizen wants to start
the naturalization process,

00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:34.210
the first step is for them to determine

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:37.730
if they are eligible
to become a US citizen.

00:00:37.730 --> 00:00:40.290
Then, they have to wait.

00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.510
If they are married to
a current US citizen,

00:00:43.510 --> 00:00:46.180
they have to wait three years.

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:50.150
If they are not, they
have to wait five years.

00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:53.720
During this time, many
immigrants take special classes

00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:55.670
to prepare for citizenship.

00:00:55.670 --> 00:01:00.100
After the waiting period, if
they are at least 18 years old,

00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:01.670
and have been a resident

00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:04.250
of the state where they intend to file

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:06.060
for at least three months,

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:10.957
they may file an Application
for Naturalization, an N-400.

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:14.020
Once they've submitted their application,

00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:16.690
they must attend a biometrics appointment

00:01:16.690 --> 00:01:19.770
to have their fingerprints
added to their records.

00:01:19.770 --> 00:01:22.550
Then they'll have to complete
an interview with an official

00:01:22.550 --> 00:01:26.010
from US Citizenship and
Immigration Services

00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:29.270
to ensure that they meet
the necessary requirements,

00:01:29.270 --> 00:01:33.020
and to conduct the naturalization exam.

00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:37.210
The exam has two parts:
an English language test,

00:01:37.210 --> 00:01:40.860
with questions about reading,
writing, and speaking English,

00:01:40.860 --> 00:01:45.120
and a civics test, with 10
questions on basic facts

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.500
about the history and
government of the United States.

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:51.910
If the applicant gets six
of the 10 questions right,

00:01:51.910 --> 00:01:55.690
they pass, and their
application is approved.

00:01:55.690 --> 00:01:58.530
The final step in the
naturalization process

00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:02.660
is to attend a ceremony to
pledge an oath of allegiance.

00:02:02.660 --> 00:02:05.300
The noncitizen swears to be loyal

00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:07.490
to the United States above all,

00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:10.560
to obey the Constitution and other laws,

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.660
and to perform military
or other duties if needed.

00:02:14.660 --> 00:02:16.300
Then, they sign a document,

00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.600
and are declared a citizen
of the United States.

00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:22.840
And if they have any
children under the age of 18,

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.640
their children automatically become

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:27.110
naturalized citizens too.

00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:29.430
In the next video, we'll
go into more detail

00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:32.703
about the eligibility
requirements for naturalization.

00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:01.053
- [Narrator] In this video,

00:00:01.053 --> 00:00:05.570
we're going to cover what
criteria a non citizen must meet

00:00:05.570 --> 00:00:07.070
to become a citizen.

00:00:07.070 --> 00:00:09.920
A process we call naturalization.

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:13.460
Some of the requirements
are obvious and verifiable

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.040
while others are tested through
the naturalization process.

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:21.750
There are nine requirements
that an immigrant must meet

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:24.160
before they can apply for naturalization.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.540
And four of the first five all have to do

00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:31.620
with how long an applicant has
lived in the United States.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:34.520
First, they have to be 18 years old.

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.770
Does this mean that children
can't become citizens?

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:40.680
No, but they can't apply on their own.

00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:43.950
If their parent or parents
apply for naturalization,

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.670
a child can inherit their
parent's citizenship

00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:49.200
if they make it through the process.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.380
Second, the applicant has to
have been a permanent resident

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.540
for at least five years,

00:00:55.540 --> 00:00:57.530
unless they're married
to an American citizen

00:00:57.530 --> 00:00:59.380
then it's only three years.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:01.860
So this means that undocumented immigrants

00:01:01.860 --> 00:01:03.400
and foreign diplomats

00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.610
are not eligible for naturalization.

00:01:06.610 --> 00:01:08.660
Third, they have to
show that they've lived

00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:10.010
in the US customs

00:01:10.010 --> 00:01:13.020
and immigration services
district they've been living in

00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:16.040
when they applied for
at least three months.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.740
There are 26 US CIS districts

00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:22.220
which also include US territories.

00:01:22.220 --> 00:01:23.960
Fourth, they have to have lived

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:26.040
in the United States continuously

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.620
for at least five years.

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:32.260
A green card holder can leave
for short periods of time,

00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:34.410
but if they've lived
outside the United States

00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:36.130
for more than six months,

00:01:36.130 --> 00:01:40.120
they could compromise their
eligibility for naturalization.

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.900
Included in that is the fifth requirement

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.780
that they have to have
been physically present

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:46.940
in the United States

00:01:46.940 --> 00:01:50.060
for at least 30 months
out of the five years

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:51.920
of residency they maintained

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.500
before they file their
application for naturalization.

00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:58.060
These five cover the
residency requirements

00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:01.320
for naturalization, but there
are four other requirements

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:05.550
that are verified during the
naturalization process itself.

00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:08.670
If you remember the steps of
the naturalization process,

00:02:08.670 --> 00:02:10.820
you should remember that at one point,

00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:13.980
a person seeking
naturalization needs to meet

00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:17.220
with a US CIS official for an interview.

00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:20.410
and to take the naturalization test.

00:02:20.410 --> 00:02:21.580
It's during this step

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:24.840
that the US CIS official
tests the applicant

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.210
on the next two requirements,

00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:29.450
their ability to understand English

00:02:29.450 --> 00:02:32.450
and their knowledge of US
history and government.

00:02:32.450 --> 00:02:34.010
The federal government requires

00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:38.380
that all naturalized citizens
can read, write, speak

00:02:38.380 --> 00:02:41.530
and understand conversational English.

00:02:41.530 --> 00:02:43.990
The interview itself serves as the test

00:02:43.990 --> 00:02:45.540
for the speaking portion.

00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:49.010
And after the interview, the
applicant has to read one

00:02:49.010 --> 00:02:52.360
out of three chosen sentences correctly.

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.960
And for the writing test,

00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.220
the applicant will write an
English sentence provided

00:02:57.220 --> 00:02:58.720
by the interviewer.

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:00.400
Following the English portion,

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.650
the interviewer asks 10 questions

00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:04.540
about US history and government

00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:08.210
and the applicant must answer
at least six correctly.

00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:11.840
Some examples of questions that
an interviewer can ask are,

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.410
how many amendments does
the constitution have?

00:03:14.410 --> 00:03:17.760
Or, who's in charge of
the executive branch?

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:20.770
Then there are only two requirements left,

00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:22.680
and they're the hardest to verify

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.530
because they aren't entirely obvious.

00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:28.080
The eighth requirement for
naturalization is that you have

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.260
to be a person of good moral character.

00:03:31.260 --> 00:03:34.830
Trying to determine a person's
character is hard to do.

00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:37.080
Do you think you could get a good grasp

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.450
of a person's character in an interview

00:03:39.450 --> 00:03:41.040
that lasts a few hours

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:43.970
or reading an application they filled out?

00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:46.470
The way the government
determines moral character

00:03:46.470 --> 00:03:50.620
is by looking to see if an
applicant has a criminal history,

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:53.000
but that isn't exactly foolproof.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.140
They can look into American
criminal databases,

00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:57.390
but they don't have access

00:03:57.390 --> 00:03:59.580
to other countries' criminal records.

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:03.330
US CIS often has to
rely on self reporting.

00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:07.050
And while it is rare for
someone with a criminal history

00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:09.350
to make it through the
naturalization process,

00:04:09.350 --> 00:04:11.100
it has been known to happen.

00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:12.320
The final requirement

00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:15.760
is that the applicant has
to demonstrate an attachment

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:19.770
to the principles and ideals
of the US Constitution.

00:04:19.770 --> 00:04:22.100
This means that an applicant has to prove

00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:24.790
that they would actively
support the constitution

00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:28.030
and support a democratic
form of government.

00:04:28.030 --> 00:04:30.810
If someone is hostile to
the form of government

00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:34.180
in the United States, they
cannot become a citizen.

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:36.200
One way that a person proves this

00:04:36.200 --> 00:04:39.320
is by agreeing to take
an oath of allegiance

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:40.930
in a public ceremony.

00:04:40.930 --> 00:04:41.763
In this oath,

00:04:41.763 --> 00:04:45.680
they must promise to renounce
all foreign allegiance,

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.260
though that does not mean they have

00:04:47.260 --> 00:04:48.560
to give up their citizenship

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.900
to other countries and promise
to give full allegiance

00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:55.910
to the United States, its
constitution and its laws.

00:04:55.910 --> 00:05:00.160
They must also promise to perform
all duties and obligations

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.100
of citizenship including
defending the country

00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:04.313
when called upon.

00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.840
So now that we've covered
all of the requirements,

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.370
let's go through an example

00:05:09.370 --> 00:05:11.450
to see if you can determine
whether an immigrant

00:05:11.450 --> 00:05:14.203
is eligible for citizenship or not.

00:05:15.570 --> 00:05:18.950
Lorenzo has lived most
of his life in Italy,

00:05:18.950 --> 00:05:21.750
but now he wants to become a US citizen.

00:05:21.750 --> 00:05:24.110
He came to the United
States three years ago

00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:26.750
and has been a legal resident ever since.

00:05:26.750 --> 00:05:29.230
He has never been in trouble with the law,

00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:31.340
either in the United States or in Italy.

00:05:31.340 --> 00:05:33.330
He enjoys owning his own home

00:05:33.330 --> 00:05:35.350
and living in a friendly neighborhood.

00:05:35.350 --> 00:05:37.460
Lorenzo is 25 years old,

00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:40.920
speaks English very well and
has recently taken a class

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.650
at a local community college on US history

00:05:43.650 --> 00:05:44.950
for new citizens.

00:05:44.950 --> 00:05:49.570
He filled out his naturalization
application form last week.

00:05:49.570 --> 00:05:52.160
So let's check off all of the requirements

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.090
that Lorenzo does have.

00:05:54.090 --> 00:05:55.870
Take a second and pause this video

00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:58.690
to try and figure it
out on your own first.

00:05:58.690 --> 00:06:01.490
All right, so Lorenzo is 25 years old

00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:04.580
so he meets the minimum age requirement.

00:06:04.580 --> 00:06:07.850
He's only been a permanent
resident for three years

00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:10.470
and he's not married to a US citizen

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:13.440
so he doesn't meet the
residency requirement.

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:15.670
He's lived in Portland for three years

00:06:15.670 --> 00:06:19.100
so he meets the third
and fifth requirements,

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:22.340
but he doesn't meet
the fourth requirement.

00:06:22.340 --> 00:06:24.430
Lorenzo can speak English very well

00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:27.060
and took a class on US
history for new immigrants

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:30.690
so we can assume that he
can pass both portions

00:06:30.690 --> 00:06:32.770
of the naturalization test.

00:06:32.770 --> 00:06:35.550
And since he's never been
in any legal trouble,

00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:36.820
we'll put a check mark next

00:06:36.820 --> 00:06:39.340
to him having good moral character.

00:06:39.340 --> 00:06:42.630
We can't exactly tell if he's
attached to the principles

00:06:42.630 --> 00:06:45.000
and ideals of the US Constitution

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.590
so we'll put a question mark
next to that requirement.

00:06:48.590 --> 00:06:50.340
All right, given all this information,

00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:52.510
do you think Lorenzo is eligible

00:06:52.510 --> 00:06:55.090
to apply for naturalization?
