00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.210
- Thank you so much for
joining today or this evening,

00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:07.430
depending on where you're calling from.

00:00:07.430 --> 00:00:09.620
This is Jeremy Shi at Khan Academy

00:00:09.620 --> 00:00:11.285
and I'm so excited you're joining with us

00:00:11.285 --> 00:00:14.760
because if anything, at Khan Academy,

00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.210
2020 has been the year of the tablet.

00:00:17.210 --> 00:00:20.439
We've given away by my
calculation, at least 50 tablets

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:23.600
over the course of the year
in response to questions like,

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.310
how does Sal Khan make those videos?

00:00:25.310 --> 00:00:27.320
How can I make my own videos?

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.559
And that's why I'm so excited
about tonight's session

00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:30.910
because now you're going to learn

00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:32.690
from the experts themselves.

00:00:32.690 --> 00:00:35.610
First of all, we are so
lucky to have Stacey with us.

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:37.970
Stacey is a math teacher
and director of innovation

00:00:37.970 --> 00:00:41.290
educational technology at the
Bullet School in Maryland.

00:00:41.290 --> 00:00:42.957
And one of the things
that really impresses me

00:00:42.957 --> 00:00:45.467
is not only does she wear
multiple hats at school

00:00:45.467 --> 00:00:48.230
but she's also the
author of Tech with Heart

00:00:48.230 --> 00:00:49.140
which is an amazing book

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:50.837
on how to use tech in your classroom

00:00:50.837 --> 00:00:53.830
not just to break your
students down to bits and bytes

00:00:53.830 --> 00:00:56.350
but to actually empower
them, to lift them up.

00:00:56.350 --> 00:00:59.150
And I think in 2020, I can't
imagine a better lesson

00:00:59.150 --> 00:01:01.330
than how to use technology
in a more holistic way.

00:01:01.330 --> 00:01:02.960
So check out Tech with Heart,

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.920
would make a great stocking stuffer.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.040
And then also I have to
give a huge shout out

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.590
to the Wacom team.

00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:10.660
If you're familiar with Wacom, the brand,

00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:13.860
they're the world's leader
in handwriting tablets.

00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:16.295
So whether you use it for
design or for teaching,

00:01:16.295 --> 00:01:18.269
there's just these really powerful tools

00:01:18.269 --> 00:01:21.100
to bring your teaching
style and your pedagogy

00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:22.510
into the digital world.

00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:25.450
And in fact, Sal Khan himself
has been using their tablets

00:01:25.450 --> 00:01:27.000
for a decade at this point

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.550
and is still using them to make
videos at this very moment.

00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:31.960
So a huge shout out to the Wacom team

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:33.960
and especially because Wacom
has been generous enough

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:38.320
to give away five more tablets,
to lucky attendees tonight

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:40.090
and you will be notified automatically

00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:41.620
just for being in attendance.

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.420
If you're one of those lucky five.

00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:45.470
And then in addition, even
if you're not selected

00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:46.790
to win a tablet

00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:48.855
walk is giving an exclusive discount code

00:01:48.855 --> 00:01:51.030
just to attendees of the session

00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:54.110
that Stacey will unveil at the
very end of the presentation.

00:01:54.110 --> 00:01:55.480
Now, all that being said,

00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.150
I would be remiss in 2020 on a webinar

00:01:58.150 --> 00:02:00.900
not to mention that number
one, this is being recorded.

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.080
So you'll get all those
goodies in your email

00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:06.117
right afterwards, including
a PDF of the handouts

00:02:06.117 --> 00:02:08.350
and all the links that we talked about.

00:02:08.350 --> 00:02:11.700
And then of course, because
we're educators, all in all

00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:14.080
we want to make sure that the
session is really interactive.

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.980
So ask questions at any
point using the questions tab

00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:17.980
and Stacey will take a ton

00:02:17.980 --> 00:02:20.420
of those questions at
the end of the session.

00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:23.300
So without further ado, let
me turn it over to Stacey

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:25.184
to tell you all about
how you can use tablets

00:02:25.184 --> 00:02:29.190
in your own classroom to make
2021 even more effective.

00:02:29.190 --> 00:02:30.190
Over to you, Stacey.

00:02:31.130 --> 00:02:32.570
- Thank you so much.

00:02:32.570 --> 00:02:36.570
I'm so excited to be
with you all this evening

00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:39.900
or whatever time it is over on your end.

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:44.540
So I'm going to be sharing some ways

00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:47.351
that you can use the tablet.

00:02:47.351 --> 00:02:52.351
I have been using a Wacom
tablet myself for years now.

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.460
I think I got my first one in 2013.

00:02:56.460 --> 00:03:00.030
And what I love about
these tablets is that

00:03:00.030 --> 00:03:02.820
it's the same tablet
that I was using in 2013.

00:03:02.820 --> 00:03:04.830
I'm still able to use today,

00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:08.210
though I'm going to showcase
some of their newer products.

00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:10.200
It has worked for me over the years

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:14.740
and it's a way of allowing
me to handwrite on anything.

00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:18.184
And as a math teacher, I need that.

00:03:18.184 --> 00:03:22.526
So in addition to my role
in really working as a coach

00:03:22.526 --> 00:03:25.058
with teachers at my school

00:03:25.058 --> 00:03:28.970
and helping them onboard
the tech that will work best

00:03:28.970 --> 00:03:32.430
for their classroom, I'm
also an AP calculus teacher.

00:03:32.430 --> 00:03:34.930
So I've taught a number
of classes over the year

00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:36.710
but in the past several years,

00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:38.930
I've taught AP calculus AB.

00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:42.930
I also taught a purely online
version of AP calculus AB

00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:44.126
for a number of years

00:03:44.126 --> 00:03:46.960
and I am a flip classroom teacher.

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.840
So I'll get into a lot

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.650
of how I started exploring the tablets

00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.000
and how I'm using them now.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.250
And hopefully some easy ways
to help you get started.

00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:01.540
If you are on Twitter, I would
love to connect with you.

00:04:01.540 --> 00:04:06.233
My Twitter hashtag is, or my
Twitter handle is @buddyXO.

00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.620
So if you are there,
please connect with me.

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:11.270
And if you have any questions at all,

00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:16.270
I'm so happy to follow up
and answer as many as I can.

00:04:16.506 --> 00:04:18.985
I do have a contact form on my blog.

00:04:18.985 --> 00:04:21.830
So now that we're done
with that little intro,

00:04:21.830 --> 00:04:26.830
let's go ahead and let me start
off with some of the things

00:04:27.390 --> 00:04:29.440
I hope to achieve today.

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:30.273
First of all,

00:04:30.273 --> 00:04:34.070
how to get started with
a whiteboard application.

00:04:34.070 --> 00:04:39.070
Then how to use a scratch
pad in Khan Academy?

00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:42.100
Then we'll talk more
about how to ink up slides

00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:44.080
and make screencasts of your own.

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.080
And then as Jeremy said, we
will have some time for Q&A.

00:04:49.090 --> 00:04:50.880
So before we get started,

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:53.440
I'm gonna just put a question out to you.

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:54.744
What subject do you teach

00:04:54.744 --> 00:04:58.113
and what grade levels do you teach?

00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:02.233
Go ahead and type that in.

00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:06.250
- [Jeremy] Okay. We've got
the poll on your screen.

00:05:06.250 --> 00:05:09.150
So feel free to start
answering right there.

00:05:09.150 --> 00:05:12.500
About a third of the 500 or so educators

00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:14.000
across the country have answered.

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.980
We're up to about two thirds now.

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.900
And it looks like there
are a lot of educators

00:05:17.900 --> 00:05:20.300
who are following in
your footsteps, Stacey,

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:22.850
because as we close the
poll and share the results,

00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:25.250
you can see that a plurality
are math educators.

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:29.420
- Awesome.

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:31.920
- [Jeremy] And now we'll
do the same, that's right,

00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.290
but also a nice diversity of educators

00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:36.010
across the content spectrum.

00:05:36.010 --> 00:05:37.720
Let's do the same for grade level now.

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.140
So elementary, all the way to high,

00:05:40.140 --> 00:05:41.883
maybe even beyond or before.

00:05:43.510 --> 00:05:45.270
It's looking like a
little bit of a horse race

00:05:45.270 --> 00:05:46.820
between middle and high school.

00:05:51.350 --> 00:05:52.890
And we'll go ahead and share that.

00:05:52.890 --> 00:05:54.540
And it looks like a lot
of high school educators.

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:58.170
Again, your tribe is here
in force tonight, Stacey.

00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:00.870
So a lot of high school math
educators have joined us.

00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:03.133
- All right.

00:06:04.775 --> 00:06:06.543
Well, we'll have some fun tonight.

00:06:11.855 --> 00:06:16.170
So this is me back in the day.

00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:18.280
Let me go back into present.

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:19.620
This is me back in the day

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:21.500
when I started flipping my classroom.

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.820
This was back in 2010.

00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:28.610
And what I had here was
a tablet PC, actually.

00:06:28.610 --> 00:06:31.030
So this is how I got
started making my videos.

00:06:31.030 --> 00:06:34.820
I had a microphone that I got
and I was using my tablet PC,

00:06:34.820 --> 00:06:37.260
which is what we have through our school.

00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:39.720
That was kind of how I got
interested in the first place.

00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.140
I said, Hey, I got this
technology in my hands.

00:06:42.140 --> 00:06:45.160
Let me start making some
screencasts for my students.

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.250
Especially when I started
AP calculus teaching,

00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:50.350
you know how much content
there is to get through,

00:06:50.350 --> 00:06:52.040
not enough time to get through it.

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.960
So wanted a way to offload

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:57.730
that very teacher
directed lecture to video,

00:06:57.730 --> 00:07:01.050
and I started using my
tablet PC to do that.

00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:02.916
However, I am a Mac user

00:07:02.916 --> 00:07:07.760
and this tablet PC wasn't my preference.

00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:10.990
So when I learned about Wacom,

00:07:10.990 --> 00:07:15.510
then I had my solution because
I could plug the tablet

00:07:15.510 --> 00:07:19.497
into my Mac and I still had
the pen and the handwriting.

00:07:19.497 --> 00:07:24.497
And I've been happily using
that solution ever since.

00:07:24.940 --> 00:07:29.370
So there are two main
types of Wacom devices.

00:07:29.370 --> 00:07:33.340
There is the slate style
like this one in the left.

00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:35.370
So this is a blank slate.

00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:39.880
And you can write just
looking up at the screen

00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:41.470
is what you would have to do there

00:07:41.470 --> 00:07:44.390
so that you're not seeing
what you're writing.

00:07:44.390 --> 00:07:46.000
Actually, you're looking up at the screen

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.580
to see what you're writing.

00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:50.820
And then there's also the
display style tablets,

00:07:50.820 --> 00:07:55.010
like this one where you actually
either mirror your screen

00:07:55.010 --> 00:07:57.201
or you use it as a second display,

00:07:57.201 --> 00:08:00.834
just like if you had
another monitor attached.

00:08:00.834 --> 00:08:05.600
So that is really amazing,
especially remote learning.

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.578
I think we've all learned
that we need two monitors.

00:08:08.578 --> 00:08:11.960
And so this can be a simple
way to have two monitors

00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:15.490
available to you or two
screens available to you.

00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:19.650
So I really recommend the Wacom Intuos.

00:08:19.650 --> 00:08:23.520
There are different styles
of it, but I like the one.

00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:24.940
This is the small one that I have.

00:08:24.940 --> 00:08:27.000
It's a small style, but it is Bluetooth.

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:28.540
And I love that because it's wireless

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:31.659
and I can move it around,
easy to carry with me

00:08:31.659 --> 00:08:34.410
when we are in the actual classroom

00:08:34.410 --> 00:08:35.690
and we're able to move around.

00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:38.820
This is a great device to
have, throw it in your bag.

00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:42.056
And then the Wacom One
is what I actually make

00:08:42.056 --> 00:08:47.020
flip classroom videos with nowadays.

00:08:47.020 --> 00:08:48.710
You do have to plug it in.

00:08:48.710 --> 00:08:50.750
So it is much larger.
I have it right here.

00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:52.000
I don't have it plugged in

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.020
'cause I didn't want another
screen going right now

00:08:55.020 --> 00:08:59.230
but this is really great
because I can have it

00:08:59.230 --> 00:09:03.030
to write out all of my lessons,

00:09:03.030 --> 00:09:06.690
make my screen recordings,
and it feels so natural.

00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:08.670
It really feels like writing on paper.

00:09:08.670 --> 00:09:11.278
The quality of this tablet is amazing,

00:09:11.278 --> 00:09:13.180
and I recommend the Wacom One

00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:15.410
because it's the lowest price point

00:09:15.410 --> 00:09:20.120
for a screen display style
tablet that Wacom offers.

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.910
And it's met all of my
needs as a math teacher

00:09:22.910 --> 00:09:27.910
a hundred percent, and it
feels so, so nice to write on.

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:30.680
So those are the two style of tablets.

00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:34.660
Just wanted to throw those
out there for some background.

00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:38.100
And then I'm gonna pose one
more question to you right now.

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:40.623
Do you currently have a writing tablet?

00:09:48.750 --> 00:09:51.620
So I think there's a poll that
you can answer on this one

00:09:59.650 --> 00:10:01.320
- [Jeremy] And it looks like
we're up to about almost 90%

00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.430
of the votes here, Stacey.

00:10:03.430 --> 00:10:06.530
It looks like about, as you
can see here on the screen,

00:10:06.530 --> 00:10:10.290
about a third of teachers had
that writing tablet already

00:10:10.290 --> 00:10:11.600
but the majority do not.

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.130
So just a little good background to go on.

00:10:14.130 --> 00:10:18.060
- Awesome, so hopefully
that some of that background

00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:21.500
was helpful in helping you
understand the different styles

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:22.890
of tablets that are available

00:10:22.890 --> 00:10:26.260
and which one you might want
to purchase going forward.

00:10:26.260 --> 00:10:28.781
If you really just are
looking to just get started

00:10:28.781 --> 00:10:31.460
with the most affordable option

00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:33.060
and the most portable option,

00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:35.781
that is the Intuos style tablet.

00:10:35.781 --> 00:10:38.530
And again, there's a
Bluetooth version of that,

00:10:38.530 --> 00:10:41.120
which is what I really like
because I can just be using it,

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.061
just click a button, no wires needed,

00:10:43.061 --> 00:10:46.360
and I can move around and it's wireless.

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.610
Again. The Wacom one.

00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:52.050
I love it for making my
flip classroom videos.

00:10:52.050 --> 00:10:53.100
It does need to be plugged in.

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:54.470
So I just like to mention that

00:10:54.470 --> 00:10:56.930
because I think it's important
to weigh the options.

00:10:56.930 --> 00:10:58.110
Do you need portability

00:10:58.110 --> 00:11:01.479
or are you going to be
making videos all the time?

00:11:01.479 --> 00:11:04.910
In which case, I think the Wacom One

00:11:04.910 --> 00:11:06.870
is really worth the investment.

00:11:06.870 --> 00:11:10.853
That's what I use most of
my time and I just love it.

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:17.640
All right, so let's continue on

00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:22.750
and start with some of the basics.

00:11:22.750 --> 00:11:26.970
So I wish that I could just tell you, Hey,

00:11:26.970 --> 00:11:28.500
this is what I recommend.

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:30.140
This is what you should do.

00:11:30.140 --> 00:11:34.860
But the reality is we are
all at different schools

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:36.810
that use different technologies,

00:11:36.810 --> 00:11:38.400
that have different subscriptions

00:11:38.400 --> 00:11:40.010
but also we're at Google Schools.

00:11:40.010 --> 00:11:41.430
We are at Microsoft schools.

00:11:41.430 --> 00:11:43.050
We are at Google Meet schools.

00:11:43.050 --> 00:11:45.720
We are at Zoom schools right now.

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.720
And so I am going to present,
again, a variety of options,

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.590
ones that I would most
recommend depending on

00:11:54.590 --> 00:11:57.000
which of those camps you fall into.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:01.410
So if you are using
Google everything already,

00:12:01.410 --> 00:12:03.023
if you're using Google Meet,

00:12:03.930 --> 00:12:07.450
even if you're using Zoom and
your school is a Google school

00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:11.300
I think Google Jamboard is the
simplest whiteboarding option

00:12:11.300 --> 00:12:13.890
that I can possibly offer you.

00:12:13.890 --> 00:12:16.910
There is a video of how
the Google Meet integration

00:12:16.910 --> 00:12:19.550
with the Jamboard whiteboard works

00:12:19.550 --> 00:12:22.341
if you haven't used that before and again,

00:12:22.341 --> 00:12:24.510
these resources are available after

00:12:24.510 --> 00:12:26.563
and I put a little play
button so that you can know

00:12:26.563 --> 00:12:29.850
that you can watch this video afterwards

00:12:29.850 --> 00:12:30.880
if you want to review it.

00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:33.260
I'm trying to load you
up with some resources

00:12:33.260 --> 00:12:34.770
to really help you out.

00:12:34.770 --> 00:12:37.490
But I'm going to show
you just a basic demo

00:12:37.490 --> 00:12:41.250
and you can get started by just
going to your Google Drive,

00:12:41.250 --> 00:12:42.445
pressing the new button,

00:12:42.445 --> 00:12:46.210
go into more and then
using a Google Jamboard.

00:12:46.210 --> 00:12:48.170
And that's how you start
up a new whiteboard.

00:12:48.170 --> 00:12:50.950
Or if you're in a Google
Meet, you'll see that option

00:12:50.950 --> 00:12:52.660
right when you click the three dots.

00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:54.770
So let me show you what
a Jamboard looks like.

00:12:54.770 --> 00:12:59.420
It is super simple, super
basic, but it is collaborative,

00:12:59.420 --> 00:13:01.780
or it can be just more instructional.

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:04.230
So like anything else in Google,

00:13:04.230 --> 00:13:08.060
you can share this and make
everybody else an editor,

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:10.410
or you can share it with
view only permissions.

00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:12.619
If everybody else has an editor,

00:13:12.619 --> 00:13:13.750
it's real-time collaboration.

00:13:13.750 --> 00:13:15.080
Amazing. Right?

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.910
So there is a pen tool right here.

00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:21.810
And again, the options with
this one are very, very simple.

00:13:21.810 --> 00:13:25.140
You only have a couple
pallets of color here.

00:13:25.140 --> 00:13:27.610
You do have different pen thicknesses.

00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.060
You have a marker, you have a highlighter,

00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:31.810
you have more of a brush tool.

00:13:31.810 --> 00:13:36.410
And so, you know, you can just
very simply get to writing.

00:13:36.410 --> 00:13:39.300
If you want to write, you
can also pull in an image.

00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:42.110
So sometimes I like to
use this to say, you know,

00:13:42.110 --> 00:13:44.240
you have a question that you want,

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.510
take a snapshot of the
question, pull it into here

00:13:47.510 --> 00:13:50.630
and then just use your tablet and write.

00:13:50.630 --> 00:13:52.497
That's basically it.

00:13:52.497 --> 00:13:54.940
And you can present during
class with this also.

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:56.530
There's this nice laser pointer.

00:13:56.530 --> 00:14:00.220
So it's easier for students
to follow what you are writing

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:02.730
and you can more easily point.

00:14:02.730 --> 00:14:04.610
There's a sticky note that you can have.

00:14:04.610 --> 00:14:09.610
And then for my people
who need some shapes,

00:14:09.706 --> 00:14:11.580
there's some basic shapes
here available too.

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:15.350
So this I think is one of the
simplest options available.

00:14:15.350 --> 00:14:18.380
It is automatically built into Google Meet

00:14:18.380 --> 00:14:19.213
if you're using that

00:14:19.213 --> 00:14:21.770
or if you're using
Google Drive, I'm sorry.

00:14:21.770 --> 00:14:22.730
If you're a Google school,

00:14:22.730 --> 00:14:25.030
then this will save to your Google Drive.

00:14:25.030 --> 00:14:27.270
So that's the nice ability there too.

00:14:27.270 --> 00:14:32.220
And you can share, lastly,
you can always export this,

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:34.400
save this as a PDF afterwards,

00:14:34.400 --> 00:14:37.210
so that you can share
these as lesson notes.

00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:39.240
If you can't get everything on one slide,

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.003
you can make multiple
pages just like that.

00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:48.480
And so those are the very very basics

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.260
of getting started with this.

00:14:50.260 --> 00:14:51.690
And there's also the ability

00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:55.133
to have some grid paper background also.

00:14:57.270 --> 00:15:01.730
So, let me go ahead and
move into the next option,

00:15:01.730 --> 00:15:04.960
which since I was on Google schools,

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.890
this one is really, I feel
like if you are a Google school

00:15:08.890 --> 00:15:11.060
that is already a Kami user,

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:13.570
if you are using Kami or if your school

00:15:13.570 --> 00:15:15.480
has a site license to Kami,

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.940
I really recommend checking that tool out.

00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:20.978
If you've not heard about it before,

00:15:20.978 --> 00:15:24.580
it's not the absolute thing
that you need right now.

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:26.140
I want you to pick which one

00:15:26.140 --> 00:15:30.463
is going to fit your needs
the best, but what Kami is,

00:15:31.316 --> 00:15:32.920
it's integrated again with Google Drive,

00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:36.080
but it also can be kind of
just a white boarding tool

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.240
because there are these amazing pen tools

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.850
built right into Kami.

00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:44.620
This is a Chrome extension,
by the way, you can get it

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:49.340
so you can open any of your
Google Drive files with Kami.

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:53.100
You can also just go to Kami
on the web and you can write.

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:56.798
So again, I can just write and talk.

00:15:56.798 --> 00:16:00.060
There's so many more
features available into Kami.

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:03.044
I could do a whole webinar
on Kami, to be honest.

00:16:03.044 --> 00:16:06.530
There is even the ability to
make your whole screen capture

00:16:06.530 --> 00:16:09.185
right here in Kami, if
you have a paid version.

00:16:09.185 --> 00:16:13.342
But what I like to show here
is just like this, for example,

00:16:13.342 --> 00:16:18.342
was I was just showing how
students can kind of upload work

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.300
that they were stuck on

00:16:20.300 --> 00:16:23.430
and then they can pull
it all into a document.

00:16:23.430 --> 00:16:26.943
And then I can use the pen
tools like I used right here

00:16:26.943 --> 00:16:31.260
to guide to say where they
went wrong for example.

00:16:31.260 --> 00:16:34.806
We can discuss errors as a class.

00:16:34.806 --> 00:16:37.040
So again, this is one of

00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:39.830
the really nice white boarding tool.

00:16:39.830 --> 00:16:42.560
You can add extra pages as you go.

00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.130
When you want to add more pages.

00:16:44.130 --> 00:16:47.670
Again, if you need lined
paper, you can have that.

00:16:47.670 --> 00:16:50.470
If you need grid paper, you can have that.

00:16:50.470 --> 00:16:53.802
If you want a music sheet,
you can even add that.

00:16:53.802 --> 00:16:56.910
So if you are using Kami already

00:16:56.910 --> 00:16:58.550
and you haven't thought about using it

00:16:58.550 --> 00:17:00.660
as kind of a white boarding tool,

00:17:00.660 --> 00:17:03.053
that's going to be my
recommendation to you.

00:17:05.270 --> 00:17:07.800
And that's really, again,
if you're a Google school

00:17:07.800 --> 00:17:09.430
'cause that's tied with Google.

00:17:09.430 --> 00:17:11.790
So let's move on from Google schools.

00:17:11.790 --> 00:17:14.220
And if you're using Zoom,

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:18.510
Zoom has a whiteboard built right in.

00:17:18.510 --> 00:17:21.920
So I have a demo here again,

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.790
if you want to watch this after the fact,

00:17:23.790 --> 00:17:25.070
you can just press play

00:17:25.070 --> 00:17:28.210
and watch how to get
started with the tool,

00:17:28.210 --> 00:17:32.600
but it is one of the
simplest options available.

00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:33.980
And what's more in Zoom,

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:37.280
you can actually write
anywhere on your screen.

00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:40.910
So it doesn't have to just be a whiteboard

00:17:40.910 --> 00:17:42.010
that you're writing on.

00:17:42.010 --> 00:17:46.070
You can ink up anything
using the annotation tools

00:17:46.070 --> 00:17:48.220
that are in Zoom.

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:51.120
So if you haven't used that before,

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:54.140
and if you're using Zoom, then again,

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:55.610
you use your Wacom tablet.

00:17:55.610 --> 00:17:57.390
Now you have an actual pen,

00:17:57.390 --> 00:18:02.060
and you can be hand writing
instead of, you know,

00:18:02.060 --> 00:18:05.050
just using your mouse,
which is very difficult.

00:18:05.050 --> 00:18:09.464
So that Zoom again, if you're using that,

00:18:09.464 --> 00:18:11.530
I would definitely check out this video

00:18:11.530 --> 00:18:12.703
if you're not already.

00:18:13.570 --> 00:18:17.070
Final white boarding tool
that I'm going to showcase is

00:18:17.926 --> 00:18:19.840
if you want something
that's not tied to Google

00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:24.320
and not tied to Zoom but is
very simple to get started with.

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:29.320
I like AWW app, which is for a
right here, a web whiteboard,

00:18:31.730 --> 00:18:33.410
and I'm just using it for free.

00:18:33.410 --> 00:18:35.540
So you do get advertisements.

00:18:35.540 --> 00:18:38.281
That is the only downside to this,

00:18:38.281 --> 00:18:41.450
but otherwise it can be
a collaborative board

00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:43.530
so I can invite other people to it.

00:18:43.530 --> 00:18:44.790
So it can be collaborative,

00:18:44.790 --> 00:18:48.130
or I can just be doing my
screenshare and writing.

00:18:48.130 --> 00:18:50.200
There are some more options in this one.

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.950
So this is actually a tool
that I use quite often

00:18:52.950 --> 00:18:55.180
'cause it's simple

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:57.880
but also there's a little
bit more functionality,

00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.400
so I can upload a picture or even a PDF.

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:05.270
I usually just would upload
like a picture of a question

00:19:05.270 --> 00:19:08.060
that I want to solve as a class.

00:19:08.060 --> 00:19:11.960
And then I can choose
from more of a variety

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.480
of color palettes right here.

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.350
Or you can choose from the color wheel

00:19:15.350 --> 00:19:18.240
so you can get more colors
right there available to you.

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.560
There's an undo button very easily.

00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:24.960
And then again, you can be
writing as you're talking,

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.950
you have the eraser tool,

00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:29.880
and this one gives you a
variety of options here

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.168
where it's like you can
change the size of the eraser.

00:19:32.168 --> 00:19:36.300
You can also like erase the
whole thing in one click

00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:37.983
which makes it a little bit easier to use

00:19:37.983 --> 00:19:41.010
than just erasing little
bit by little bit,

00:19:41.010 --> 00:19:43.490
especially when you're
doing like a whole lesson.

00:19:43.490 --> 00:19:45.920
I know it sounds minor,
but it can be very helpful.

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.910
Again, you have some shape tools

00:19:47.910 --> 00:19:50.291
and then you have some text.

00:19:50.291 --> 00:19:52.710
What I like about this app too,

00:19:52.710 --> 00:19:54.500
is that as you're writing,

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:58.200
so, you know, you can be doing a problem.

00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.873
Let me change color like over here.

00:20:01.770 --> 00:20:06.770
And then you can do is you
can actually zoom in and out

00:20:08.890 --> 00:20:11.190
and you can write on
different parts of the board.

00:20:11.190 --> 00:20:16.190
So I can be zooming out. I can
move my, write over here too.

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.230
Then I can move my whole board over.

00:20:20.230 --> 00:20:23.530
So I just have, this is
kind of like a huge canvas

00:20:23.530 --> 00:20:27.080
that I can have and I can keep writing.

00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:30.240
And if I want to see everything,
a snapshot of everything

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.620
at the end of class, I can zoom way out.

00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:34.283
I can do full screen,

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:38.360
and I can move around a
little bit more easily

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:40.740
with this little mini map tool here.

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:43.416
So it's, again, one of
those that you can explore

00:20:43.416 --> 00:20:46.510
a little bit more, but
I've really liked this one.

00:20:46.510 --> 00:20:49.870
It's very, but also a
little bit more robust

00:20:49.870 --> 00:20:54.870
in terms of being, you know,
kind of like that canvas feel,

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.430
which I like, if you know, I
want to solve a big problem,

00:20:58.430 --> 00:21:01.040
I don't have enough
retail space on my screen.

00:21:01.040 --> 00:21:04.330
I can play a little bit more
with some of these options.

00:21:04.330 --> 00:21:08.230
So that is AWW app.

00:21:08.230 --> 00:21:10.550
And again, there's a paid
version or a free version.

00:21:10.550 --> 00:21:11.950
I'm just using the free one.

00:21:14.650 --> 00:21:15.483
All right.

00:21:15.483 --> 00:21:16.610
- [Jeremy] Stacey, as you're
going to the next section.

00:21:16.610 --> 00:21:18.130
I just want to give a shout out.

00:21:18.130 --> 00:21:20.010
You're getting so much love on the chat.

00:21:20.010 --> 00:21:22.960
People are saying, Oh, I
love Kami. I love Jamboard.

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.793
I love AWW.

00:21:23.793 --> 00:21:25.780
So everyone is sharing
their favorite tools

00:21:25.780 --> 00:21:27.580
and there are even some additional
ones that are popping up.

00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:29.900
So thank you for sparking
the conversation.

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:31.840
- Oh, fantastic. I know.

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:33.150
And that's the hardest thing,

00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:35.450
I want to come on here and like make this

00:21:35.450 --> 00:21:38.830
as simple as possible for
everybody and say, you know,

00:21:38.830 --> 00:21:42.550
like this is the best
one, but the problem is

00:21:42.550 --> 00:21:44.130
there isn't a best one.

00:21:44.130 --> 00:21:46.950
And as you can probably see
that coming into the chat,

00:21:46.950 --> 00:21:48.430
there's probably a lot of conversation

00:21:48.430 --> 00:21:49.970
about what people love.

00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:54.152
And so again, I encourage
you to kind of think about

00:21:54.152 --> 00:21:57.320
what tools your school's already using

00:21:57.320 --> 00:22:00.410
and maybe there's one that
already resonates with you,

00:22:00.410 --> 00:22:03.410
but also like getting
students on it more easily.

00:22:03.410 --> 00:22:04.640
If you're already a Google school,

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:06.640
Jamboard is going to
be super simple for you

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.030
and for your students.

00:22:08.030 --> 00:22:10.430
If your students are already using Kami,

00:22:10.430 --> 00:22:12.830
that's going to be super simple to them.

00:22:12.830 --> 00:22:13.780
You know, at this point

00:22:13.780 --> 00:22:17.870
I don't want to present too
many more tools in my classroom

00:22:17.870 --> 00:22:20.520
because we already went through, you know,

00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:22.878
kind of some of the
pain, the growing pains

00:22:22.878 --> 00:22:24.560
of getting onboard.

00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:27.450
And that's always the hardest
part. Now we're in a routine.

00:22:27.450 --> 00:22:30.190
So, all right.

00:22:30.190 --> 00:22:35.190
So let's go ahead and dig
into using the scratch pad

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.233
in Khan Academy in case
you're not using that already.

00:22:40.710 --> 00:22:44.020
So I'm going to go ahead right
now, actually, let me go back

00:22:44.020 --> 00:22:45.600
and just tell you what
I'm going to talk about.

00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:47.460
So the first thing I'm going to talk about

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:50.010
is using it in the student view.

00:22:50.010 --> 00:22:52.838
So this would be from the assign tab,

00:22:52.838 --> 00:22:56.960
and this is something that
students also have access to.

00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.450
So even if they don't
have a device, you know,

00:23:00.450 --> 00:23:02.580
even if they just need to use their mouse,

00:23:02.580 --> 00:23:05.700
they can at least ink up a little bit

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:07.420
as they're thinking through things,

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:08.703
which I know is very difficult,

00:23:08.703 --> 00:23:11.640
but you as a teacher can also use it.

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.310
So let me show you what I mean.

00:23:13.310 --> 00:23:17.003
So if I am in that
assigned tab right here,

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:22.680
and then I click on to
any of the assignments

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.520
that I have given.

00:23:24.520 --> 00:23:28.143
So let me go ahead and
click into this exercise.

00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:34.680
And then if I click on student
view, so say for example,

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.160
I just want to do like
an introductory lesson.

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.010
I found some really nice questions

00:23:39.010 --> 00:23:40.920
that were in Khan Academy.

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.350
I don't want to assign
them for students yet

00:23:43.350 --> 00:23:44.250
to do on their own.

00:23:44.250 --> 00:23:46.830
I want to just have a class
conversation about it.

00:23:46.830 --> 00:23:49.450
I can go ahead and pull
this up on the board.

00:23:49.450 --> 00:23:52.270
And then if you click on here,

00:23:52.270 --> 00:23:55.790
the little white boarding tool,
then you'll see that again.

00:23:55.790 --> 00:23:57.670
I get kind of like my grid paper

00:23:57.670 --> 00:24:00.260
which I know we love as math teachers.

00:24:00.260 --> 00:24:02.850
And I can just mark it up.

00:24:02.850 --> 00:24:05.950
So, you know, I can be
writing and talking.

00:24:05.950 --> 00:24:09.320
I think there's real power
in being able to highlight

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:10.640
while I'm talking,

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.930
being able to write so students
can follow what I'm doing.

00:24:13.930 --> 00:24:15.010
So I'm saying, you know,

00:24:15.010 --> 00:24:17.310
the limit as X approaches negative two.

00:24:17.310 --> 00:24:19.210
So now I'm telling everybody, you know,

00:24:19.210 --> 00:24:23.130
pull your eye to negative two here.

00:24:23.130 --> 00:24:25.981
And again, it's just
this quick little visual

00:24:25.981 --> 00:24:30.840
of like what's going on so
I can pull that out for them

00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:33.470
and then say, you know, well,
what do you see going on

00:24:33.470 --> 00:24:35.130
from the left-hand side?

00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:38.650
And I can just be drawing
and talking at the same time.

00:24:38.650 --> 00:24:41.270
And then my students can
maybe unmute their mic,

00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:44.023
chat it out, we can talk about it.

00:24:44.023 --> 00:24:44.960
And then, you know, just what's happening

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.350
from the right hand side.

00:24:46.350 --> 00:24:48.810
And so we can discuss it.

00:24:48.810 --> 00:24:50.582
And I think that just makes

00:24:50.582 --> 00:24:51.900
for a really nice little discussion

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:53.930
and then we can choose
the answer together.

00:24:53.930 --> 00:24:57.140
So this is, again, this could
be used for class instruction

00:24:57.140 --> 00:25:00.323
or maybe you assigned something

00:25:00.323 --> 00:25:01.610
and students got something wrong.

00:25:01.610 --> 00:25:05.220
You could pull this up or you
could have them pull it up

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:06.920
on their screen share

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.530
and ask them to kind of use these tools

00:25:10.530 --> 00:25:14.040
to try and explain what they were thinking

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:17.290
so that you can work through
it and coach them together.

00:25:17.290 --> 00:25:20.060
So that's a really nice little tool

00:25:20.060 --> 00:25:22.500
in case you haven't used it before.

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:26.137
And then the other way
that I wanted to show it is

00:25:26.137 --> 00:25:28.540
after students have responded.

00:25:28.540 --> 00:25:31.760
So say that you already
gave an assignment.

00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:33.060
Everybody did it for homework.

00:25:33.060 --> 00:25:35.010
Now you want to discuss it in class.

00:25:35.010 --> 00:25:36.760
You can use a teacher report.

00:25:36.760 --> 00:25:40.050
And again, there is a
drawing tool that's available

00:25:40.050 --> 00:25:42.550
more on a sidebar in this case.

00:25:42.550 --> 00:25:44.303
So let me go ahead and go back.

00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:50.350
And this time I'm going to go
ahead and go into my scores

00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:53.993
And let me click on this.

00:25:56.470 --> 00:25:59.380
So now if we're reviewing
all students here,

00:25:59.380 --> 00:26:03.238
say that I want to discuss this one.

00:26:03.238 --> 00:26:04.071
This one person got it wrong.

00:26:04.071 --> 00:26:07.170
So I can go ahead and pull
up the draw tool right here.

00:26:07.170 --> 00:26:10.180
And then I can just write on the side.

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:11.940
So again, super simple.

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:14.290
I can't draw on the drawing
itself in this case,

00:26:14.290 --> 00:26:19.110
but here was an example that
I just laid out right here.

00:26:19.110 --> 00:26:21.280
For example, you know, you might say,

00:26:21.280 --> 00:26:24.450
what are the three things
that you are looking for here?

00:26:24.450 --> 00:26:25.930
And I could just write that out

00:26:25.930 --> 00:26:28.030
and then I'm able to write that out

00:26:28.030 --> 00:26:31.620
because I have the pen
tool on my Wacom tablet.

00:26:31.620 --> 00:26:32.820
If I was using my mouse,

00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:34.760
I would not be able to write that out.

00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:38.090
So again, that can be a really nice way

00:26:38.090 --> 00:26:40.820
to just talk about things in class.

00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:44.671
So those are my two favorite
ways of the whiteboard

00:26:44.671 --> 00:26:49.300
right within Khan Academy to
bring things out during class

00:26:49.300 --> 00:26:52.540
or to do kind of one-on-one
individualized coaching,

00:26:52.540 --> 00:26:54.490
the students also.

00:26:54.490 --> 00:26:57.770
So let me pause again and
see if there's any questions

00:26:57.770 --> 00:26:59.130
coming in before we get into

00:26:59.130 --> 00:27:01.990
some simple screencasting options.

00:27:01.990 --> 00:27:04.340
- [Jeremy] Yeah. So there are
so many questions, Stacey.

00:27:04.340 --> 00:27:07.320
What I would recommend is why
don't we finish up the content

00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:09.160
and then save maybe like 10, 15 minutes

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.340
and really dig deep into these questions.

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:14.470
- Sounds good to me. All right.

00:27:14.470 --> 00:27:18.170
So again, I'm presenting four options here

00:27:18.170 --> 00:27:21.940
depending on what you
need for screencasting.

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:23.410
When it comes to screencasting,

00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:25.660
there are a lot of options out there.

00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:27.620
I'm going to set it, again.

00:27:27.620 --> 00:27:30.759
If you're a Google school
already using Google Meet

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.830
and if you already have
the ability to record,

00:27:33.830 --> 00:27:35.890
not everybody has the ability
to record in Google Meet,

00:27:35.890 --> 00:27:38.470
but if you have the ability
to record in Google Meet,

00:27:38.470 --> 00:27:40.639
you would see it under your three dots

00:27:40.639 --> 00:27:41.472
and you'd be able to record.

00:27:41.472 --> 00:27:43.730
Everybody who's using Google
for education right now

00:27:43.730 --> 00:27:45.950
should be able to record in Google.

00:27:45.950 --> 00:27:48.050
They've made that available for this year.

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:52.830
So if you're doing that for
class already, you know what?

00:27:52.830 --> 00:27:55.870
You can join a Google
Meet, just you and yourself

00:27:55.870 --> 00:27:57.580
and make a nice little screencast

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:59.950
because you will have
created a video, right?

00:27:59.950 --> 00:28:03.580
So you could just join the
Google Meet all by yourself.

00:28:03.580 --> 00:28:07.650
You can open up, pop open
a Jamboard, for example

00:28:07.650 --> 00:28:09.420
and use the white boarding.

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:10.253
There you go.

00:28:10.253 --> 00:28:13.770
Simple whiteboard screencasts
that you can then,

00:28:13.770 --> 00:28:15.610
it will upload it to your Google Drive.

00:28:15.610 --> 00:28:19.400
And then you can give it to
students to go ahead and review.

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.020
If you are using Zoom,
there's a record option,

00:28:22.020 --> 00:28:22.923
right in Zoom.

00:28:24.017 --> 00:28:25.320
So you could use the
white boarding tool again

00:28:25.320 --> 00:28:26.273
right in Zoom.

00:28:27.300 --> 00:28:29.970
And you can just record.
Let's keep it simple.

00:28:29.970 --> 00:28:34.010
If you are wanting a Chrome extension,

00:28:34.010 --> 00:28:34.940
there are a couple.

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:38.370
You may have used Screencastify or Loom.

00:28:38.370 --> 00:28:40.936
They're both very similar.

00:28:40.936 --> 00:28:43.900
I usually recommend Loom because
it is free for educators.

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:46.890
Screencastify has a
limit for what you can do

00:28:46.890 --> 00:28:48.040
with the free version.

00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:49.330
So that's why I say Loom.

00:28:49.330 --> 00:28:51.210
If you sign up as an educator,

00:28:51.210 --> 00:28:52.440
not everybody knows about that.

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.670
There's an educator form
that you can fill out

00:28:54.670 --> 00:28:57.886
in which case you get free access to Loom.

00:28:57.886 --> 00:29:01.410
So that does allow you to
do both like, you know,

00:29:01.410 --> 00:29:04.670
the little video and your
screencast at the same time

00:29:04.670 --> 00:29:06.240
or you can just do the screencast.

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.550
You get to choose what
you want to do there,

00:29:08.550 --> 00:29:12.910
screen only, screen and cam,
and you can record again.

00:29:12.910 --> 00:29:14.940
You can upload that to your Google Drive.

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:17.660
You have some different options there.

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:20.670
And then lastly I'm going
to present one paid option,

00:29:20.670 --> 00:29:22.100
which is Camtasia.

00:29:22.100 --> 00:29:26.040
And I present that because
that's actually what I use

00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:27.700
to record my videos.

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:31.820
That's what I've been
using since 2010 actually.

00:29:31.820 --> 00:29:33.690
I use that to record my videos

00:29:33.690 --> 00:29:36.780
and I use that to edit my videos.

00:29:36.780 --> 00:29:38.840
So that's what I like about that is that

00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:41.570
it does have a pretty robust editor also.

00:29:41.570 --> 00:29:45.010
I can add in like little
annotations at the end.

00:29:45.010 --> 00:29:47.800
I can cut things if I made a mistake,

00:29:47.800 --> 00:29:51.890
I can do some transitions,
all of that good stuff.

00:29:51.890 --> 00:29:54.560
So if you want to invest
a little bit more time

00:29:54.560 --> 00:29:58.410
and energy into creating
videos and editing them,

00:29:58.410 --> 00:30:00.050
that's something that you enjoy.

00:30:00.050 --> 00:30:02.240
I really enjoy editing my videos.

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.480
Then I would recommend looking
into a Camtasia license

00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.410
and make sure that you look
for an educator discount

00:30:09.410 --> 00:30:12.400
on that because you have some
educator discounts available

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.740
but that is a paid option

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:18.683
and it is available
for both a PC or a Mac.

00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:24.560
So I'm going to keep this
as simple as possible.

00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:30.290
Again, one of the easiest ways
to start inking up anything

00:30:30.290 --> 00:30:33.010
is to use PowerPoint actually.

00:30:33.010 --> 00:30:37.470
And there is a pen tool available
even in PowerPoint Online.

00:30:37.470 --> 00:30:39.620
So I'm going to show you PowerPoint Online

00:30:39.620 --> 00:30:41.990
because this is how I actually
got started with things.

00:30:41.990 --> 00:30:43.360
I just opened up a PowerPoint.

00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:46.960
Like I had my PowerPoint as
my base, my presentation.

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:51.360
I had a question and a
lot of blank, white space

00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:54.290
as you can see here, that's
kind of what it looked like.

00:30:54.290 --> 00:30:55.890
Whatever's in red is what I wrote

00:30:55.890 --> 00:30:58.610
while I was making the screencast itself.

00:30:58.610 --> 00:31:01.130
And so when you do this in PowerPoint,

00:31:01.130 --> 00:31:03.700
it's going to save all
the annotations too.

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:06.940
So then you have a kind
of a final version.

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:08.930
And I usually save my original version.

00:31:08.930 --> 00:31:13.100
And I usually, I print out the
blank version for my students

00:31:13.100 --> 00:31:15.020
so that they can take notes
right on the PowerPoint

00:31:15.020 --> 00:31:16.500
as they're watching the video.

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:19.440
And then you can just go ahead
and go to this drawing tab.

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.180
I'm in PowerPoint Online here.

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:22.890
And then you go to the drawing tab

00:31:22.890 --> 00:31:25.790
and you can choose from a
bunch of different colors.

00:31:25.790 --> 00:31:27.760
And it's nice that it
has your recent colors

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:29.020
that are saved right here.

00:31:29.020 --> 00:31:31.660
You can change the
thickness of the pen tool

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.930
and then you can also use
this different pen tool.

00:31:35.930 --> 00:31:40.610
They're a little bit
different and have the colors.

00:31:40.610 --> 00:31:43.350
You have the eraser,
you have a highlighter,

00:31:43.350 --> 00:31:46.700
and you can just get started
with making a screencast.

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:48.870
So again, you could open this up,

00:31:48.870 --> 00:31:51.480
then use one of screencasting
tools we talked about.

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.808
So you could open up a
Google Meet with you yourself

00:31:53.808 --> 00:31:56.350
and press record.

00:31:56.350 --> 00:31:58.840
You can open up Zoom and record yourself.

00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:00.463
You could also use Screencastify.

00:32:00.463 --> 00:32:02.160
I use Camtasia.

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.080
When I use Camtasia, something
else I like about that

00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:06.917
is I can just like choose
what portion of the screen

00:32:06.917 --> 00:32:07.900
I want to record.

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:11.040
So I would just like select
this portion of the screen

00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:13.610
with my mouse, you know?

00:32:13.610 --> 00:32:17.144
So it would like record just this portion.

00:32:17.144 --> 00:32:21.150
And then obviously I was
not using my tablet there.

00:32:21.150 --> 00:32:24.400
So it was very messy, but I
would just record that portion

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.530
and you wouldn't be able to see
any of the background stuff.

00:32:26.530 --> 00:32:29.100
And so a lot of the different tools

00:32:29.100 --> 00:32:31.160
allow you to choose just
a piece of your screen

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.470
instead of recording the entire screen.

00:32:33.470 --> 00:32:35.350
So that's something to keep in mind also.

00:32:35.350 --> 00:32:37.900
Loom has that ability, I know.

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:41.390
So yeah, that's the
easiest way to honestly,

00:32:41.390 --> 00:32:44.580
to get started here,
PowerPoint, you use it

00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:45.543
and it's all free.

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:50.713
If you have PowerPoint,
like the desktop version,

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:53.500
this is coming to Mac.

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:55.170
I don't think it's
rolled out to everybody.

00:32:55.170 --> 00:32:56.630
I know I'm in a program

00:32:56.630 --> 00:32:58.240
where I get some early releases of things.

00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:02.410
So it is available on, I am
using it on my Mac right now.

00:33:02.410 --> 00:33:03.640
There is a record slideshow.

00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:06.220
It's been available on a PC for years.

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:08.730
If you have PowerPoint
downloaded to your computer.

00:33:08.730 --> 00:33:10.750
You can actually, it's a one-stop shop

00:33:10.750 --> 00:33:14.880
where you can create a
video and record your screen

00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.620
right using PowerPoint all in one.

00:33:17.620 --> 00:33:19.700
Like you don't even need a second tool.

00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:21.390
If that's something that interests you,

00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:24.661
I have a reference article
and also a video tutorial.

00:33:24.661 --> 00:33:27.690
That is a Windows specific one

00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:31.650
but it's should be similar
for the Mac starting soon.

00:33:31.650 --> 00:33:34.230
Anyway, I just wanted to
present that as an option

00:33:34.230 --> 00:33:35.560
if you're using PowerPoint,

00:33:35.560 --> 00:33:38.660
this is something that a lot
of people aren't aware of,

00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:40.980
again, it's record slideshow,

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:43.070
it's right baked into PowerPoint

00:33:43.070 --> 00:33:45.930
and you can export it as a MP4.

00:33:45.930 --> 00:33:48.780
If you want students
to watch it as a video

00:33:48.780 --> 00:33:51.760
or you can also give a share link.

00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:54.744
And that share link is kind of like

00:33:54.744 --> 00:33:57.900
if I shared these Google
slides with you right now

00:33:57.900 --> 00:34:00.350
where students can press
like the next button

00:34:00.350 --> 00:34:03.000
and the next button, but
it will play like a video.

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.760
It's really cool. I encourage
you to check it out.

00:34:05.760 --> 00:34:08.480
If you are a PowerPoint fan,

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:09.530
if you're not, though

00:34:10.406 --> 00:34:13.163
I've provided some other options
for you to explore today.

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.000
So I did want to show
you my actual process.

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.600
And this is a video of my actual process.

00:34:23.600 --> 00:34:26.550
These days I use Notability on my Mac.

00:34:26.550 --> 00:34:28.204
I pay for that.

00:34:28.204 --> 00:34:31.861
It wasn't very expensive,
but I did purchase Notability

00:34:31.861 --> 00:34:34.550
which is a, you might be familiar.

00:34:34.550 --> 00:34:39.550
There is an iOS
application for Notability,

00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:42.270
but there's also a Mac application.

00:34:42.270 --> 00:34:45.860
And I just like it as like I
have it as my digital notebook.

00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:47.540
So that's what I'm using these days.

00:34:47.540 --> 00:34:50.240
But honestly, I start
off with a PowerPoint,

00:34:50.240 --> 00:34:52.782
and you can replicate the
same thing in PowerPoint.

00:34:52.782 --> 00:34:56.350
And I use Camtasia to
make my screen recordings.

00:34:56.350 --> 00:34:59.943
Then I upload those for students to watch.

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:03.710
So again, if you want
to see my exact process,

00:35:03.710 --> 00:35:05.173
that video is available.

00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:07.193
All right.

00:35:08.540 --> 00:35:10.360
Last, I think this is like
almost my last question for you.

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.763
How many Flipgrid fans
do I have here today?

00:35:15.100 --> 00:35:17.550
- [Jeremy] Okay, so let's
queue this one up here.

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:20.110
So we launched the Flipgrid poll

00:35:22.200 --> 00:35:25.630
and it's looking like
a lot of folks love it.

00:35:25.630 --> 00:35:27.280
Maybe more have never used it before.

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.230
So this is great, great chance
to share something powerful.

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:32.203
- All right.

00:35:33.300 --> 00:35:34.620
- [Jeremy] So go ahead
and share those results.

00:35:34.620 --> 00:35:37.540
It looks like about
70% have not tried yet.

00:35:37.540 --> 00:35:39.240
So feel free to share more Stacey.

00:35:40.430 --> 00:35:45.240
- Okay. So I am obviously
in the love it camp.

00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:47.303
So Flipgrid, there's two main things

00:35:47.303 --> 00:35:48.760
that you can do in Flipgrid.

00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.750
One is that you can record, sorry.

00:35:51.750 --> 00:35:53.790
You can have students record responses.

00:35:53.790 --> 00:35:57.520
So it comes in all like a
grid of student replies.

00:35:57.520 --> 00:35:59.390
I'm not going to focus on that today,

00:35:59.390 --> 00:36:01.190
even though that is amazing.

00:36:01.190 --> 00:36:03.410
I use it in my math class
all the time for students

00:36:03.410 --> 00:36:08.410
to explain their math
thinking and I don't use,

00:36:08.430 --> 00:36:10.020
they don't use any special white boarding

00:36:10.020 --> 00:36:11.060
or anything like that.

00:36:11.060 --> 00:36:13.260
They just use a phone and they hover it

00:36:13.260 --> 00:36:14.220
over their piece of paper

00:36:14.220 --> 00:36:15.750
and they talk about their math solutions

00:36:15.750 --> 00:36:17.770
and it's all posted on one big grid.

00:36:17.770 --> 00:36:19.210
But what I'm going to talk about today

00:36:19.210 --> 00:36:24.210
is more of like the teacher
created portion here,

00:36:24.269 --> 00:36:25.640
since that is the focus
of our session today.

00:36:25.640 --> 00:36:28.050
So when you're in
Flipgrid and this is free,

00:36:28.050 --> 00:36:29.750
free available for everybody,

00:36:29.750 --> 00:36:31.590
there is something
called the shorts camera.

00:36:31.590 --> 00:36:34.080
And that is to record a short video.

00:36:34.080 --> 00:36:36.350
You can record up to 10 minutes in here.

00:36:36.350 --> 00:36:39.960
So when I record a short, that's gonna be,

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:42.350
that's going to do my
whole screen recording

00:36:42.350 --> 00:36:44.040
and provide me with a whiteboard.

00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:46.550
This is super simple. All right.

00:36:46.550 --> 00:36:48.460
So what I'm going to do here is I'm going

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:50.720
to go to my effects.

00:36:50.720 --> 00:36:52.340
I know I'm covering a lot rather quickly.

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:53.720
So here we go,

00:36:53.720 --> 00:36:57.806
and you can choose a board
and I can choose a whiteboard.

00:36:57.806 --> 00:37:01.084
What you can do here is you
can also split the screen.

00:37:01.084 --> 00:37:03.680
So I could be like in
the side of the video,

00:37:03.680 --> 00:37:06.510
or I can just be like, I
want only a whiteboard.

00:37:06.510 --> 00:37:09.460
And again, I have some
different types of paper

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:10.630
that I can choose from.

00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:13.623
And then all I have to do
is press the record button.

00:37:17.560 --> 00:37:20.120
Now it's actually recording
everything that I do,

00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:23.030
so I can go ahead and I
can open up a pen tool.

00:37:23.030 --> 00:37:27.990
I can change the color of my
pen and I can get to drawing.

00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:30.440
So it's very simple, very quick.

00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:32.550
I would just have this one screen.

00:37:32.550 --> 00:37:37.550
I can always pause if I needed
to, I could reset my screen

00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:39.313
so I could delete everything.

00:37:40.270 --> 00:37:43.610
You can even in here,
just to let you know,

00:37:43.610 --> 00:37:45.930
there is a record screen feature in here.

00:37:45.930 --> 00:37:50.450
If you ever want to use
that to record your screen.

00:37:50.450 --> 00:37:53.060
If I didn't already give
you enough options, right.

00:37:53.060 --> 00:37:56.607
But what happens is once
you make this recording,

00:37:58.236 --> 00:37:59.690
everything that I do so I can go ahead

00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:01.940
and I can open up a pen tool.

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:05.010
All right, so if you
made a little mistake,

00:38:05.010 --> 00:38:07.640
there is a very simple
editor here where you can,

00:38:07.640 --> 00:38:09.720
like double, sorry,

00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:11.060
you can double click and you can,

00:38:11.060 --> 00:38:11.980
you know how you can trim

00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:13.470
like the beginning or end of the video.

00:38:13.470 --> 00:38:16.480
You're able to do that
here. So I can do that.

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:21.010
I can confirm. And now, say,
you forgot to add a clip.

00:38:21.010 --> 00:38:23.650
You can add more or you
want multiple boards.

00:38:23.650 --> 00:38:24.860
You can do that.

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:29.150
Another way that I really
like to use this is to, again,

00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:30.900
just upload a little image.

00:38:30.900 --> 00:38:33.130
So maybe I have an image of a graph

00:38:33.130 --> 00:38:35.840
and then I can just draw on that graph.

00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.553
Let me show you how you do that. Add more.

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:44.280
I can go ahead into my effects
and I can use the photo

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.590
and you can go ahead
and upload a screenshot,

00:38:46.590 --> 00:38:49.550
maybe from your textbook
or whatever it may be.

00:38:49.550 --> 00:38:52.500
And then you would be able
to just ink on top of it,

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:54.310
how you can ink on top of it, again,

00:38:54.310 --> 00:38:57.750
is you just go into these
drawing tools right here.

00:38:57.750 --> 00:38:59.730
And that's really, that's really it.

00:38:59.730 --> 00:39:02.270
I won't show you all the
fancy frames that you can do

00:39:02.270 --> 00:39:04.770
which the kids love, you
know, all that good stuff.

00:39:04.770 --> 00:39:09.280
And then when you're all
done, you go to the next,

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.300
next, you can title it if you want,

00:39:12.300 --> 00:39:13.883
you choose a cover photo.

00:39:16.330 --> 00:39:19.023
So let's just choose something
from the middle there.

00:39:22.986 --> 00:39:25.317
There we go. Confirm, great image.

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.410
And the beauty of this is
it's going to generate a link

00:39:30.410 --> 00:39:31.760
for me right now.

00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:34.060
And that's the link that
I share with my students.

00:39:34.060 --> 00:39:36.600
That's it. And now this is a video.

00:39:36.600 --> 00:39:38.750
There's nothing else to
do. There's no uploading.

00:39:38.750 --> 00:39:39.970
There's no downloading.

00:39:39.970 --> 00:39:42.300
This is a quick whiteboard style video.

00:39:42.300 --> 00:39:45.453
I guess it's preparing
it still. That's it.

00:39:47.100 --> 00:39:50.940
See, it's available already. That's it.

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:52.880
And now it's actually.

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.650
So I'll just stick with that.

00:39:55.650 --> 00:39:58.340
There's so much more in
Flipgrid that you can do,

00:39:58.340 --> 00:40:00.800
but I'll stick with the simple again,

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:02.360
if I talked about that too quickly,

00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:04.200
and this is an option that you're like,

00:40:04.200 --> 00:40:07.532
Oh this is great, simple, let's
get started with that one.

00:40:07.532 --> 00:40:09.420
I have a little video tutorial

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:11.150
on how to set up your Flipgrid,

00:40:11.150 --> 00:40:13.883
how to get started with that also.

00:40:15.353 --> 00:40:19.010
All right, so I want to leave
plenty of time for that Q&A,

00:40:19.010 --> 00:40:21.500
like you said, the last piece,

00:40:21.500 --> 00:40:23.370
which I'm not going to get in today,

00:40:23.370 --> 00:40:25.954
but I just wanted to present is,

00:40:25.954 --> 00:40:28.210
the last piece of like,

00:40:28.210 --> 00:40:31.070
how do we engage our
students during class?

00:40:31.070 --> 00:40:35.711
Because this is more like
instructional stuff that we do,

00:40:35.711 --> 00:40:39.320
but what do you do during
class time to make sure

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.580
that all students are
really participating?

00:40:41.580 --> 00:40:45.500
I am really lucky in that
I actually have a class set

00:40:45.500 --> 00:40:46.670
of these Wacom tablets.

00:40:46.670 --> 00:40:49.470
So you can see my students
writing with the Wacom tablet.

00:40:49.470 --> 00:40:51.950
I pair this up with Pear Deck

00:40:51.950 --> 00:40:55.300
and Pear Deck is a
add-on for Google Slides.

00:40:55.300 --> 00:41:00.230
It's also available for,
for PowerPoint Online.

00:41:00.230 --> 00:41:03.350
And it allows me to see the
work of all different students

00:41:03.350 --> 00:41:06.060
in this dashboard view in real time.

00:41:06.060 --> 00:41:10.460
And this is how I how I was using it now,

00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:12.310
where students don't
actually have a tablet.

00:41:12.310 --> 00:41:14.560
I'm just doing the writing with my tablet.

00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:16.710
Students can still like circle an answer

00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:20.220
so I can see if students are all trying.

00:41:20.220 --> 00:41:24.467
If they're all responding, if
they're giving it some effort,

00:41:24.467 --> 00:41:29.467
and then I can kind of, you
know, write out my reply.

00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:31.620
And so the only reason
that I bring this up

00:41:31.620 --> 00:41:33.450
is that we might have an opportunity

00:41:33.450 --> 00:41:35.370
to bring you all another webinar.

00:41:35.370 --> 00:41:37.881
So we just wanted to gauge some interest

00:41:37.881 --> 00:41:41.430
to see if you would be
interested in learning more

00:41:41.430 --> 00:41:43.170
about like that class discussion piece,

00:41:43.170 --> 00:41:46.320
learning more specifically
about how I use Pear Deck.

00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:47.872
We could probably,

00:41:47.872 --> 00:41:49.448
we could definitely do
a whole webinar on that.

00:41:49.448 --> 00:41:53.070
So we're going to do a
quick little survey right

00:41:53.070 --> 00:41:57.790
after the session ends to
see if that is something

00:41:57.790 --> 00:41:59.373
that you are interested in.

00:42:02.610 --> 00:42:07.240
I'm going to just close with this quote.

00:42:07.240 --> 00:42:09.950
I really believe if we empower
students with the resources

00:42:09.950 --> 00:42:12.230
they need and coach
them through the process

00:42:12.230 --> 00:42:15.490
of using these tools, then
students can take ownership

00:42:15.490 --> 00:42:18.252
for their learning and that's
where the real magic happens.

00:42:18.252 --> 00:42:21.180
And so for me, flipping my classroom,

00:42:21.180 --> 00:42:24.300
giving my students all the
resources through the video

00:42:24.300 --> 00:42:27.820
that I prepared them with before
they even walk into class,

00:42:27.820 --> 00:42:29.690
oh my gosh, it's been so transformational.

00:42:29.690 --> 00:42:31.716
I really didn't even get to
talk about my flip classroom,

00:42:31.716 --> 00:42:35.930
kind of how that's
transformed my teaching.

00:42:35.930 --> 00:42:39.300
I assign my videos through a tool

00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:41.500
where I can see how students
are watching the videos.

00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:43.810
I can embed questions in the videos.

00:42:43.810 --> 00:42:48.310
I come to class prepared because
I know what students need

00:42:48.310 --> 00:42:52.200
and that has been really
transformational for me.

00:42:52.200 --> 00:42:53.390
But of course the first step

00:42:53.390 --> 00:42:55.150
is knowing how to make the videos.

00:42:55.150 --> 00:42:59.072
So hopefully you got some ideas today

00:42:59.072 --> 00:43:02.222
and we'll have plenty of time for Q&A.

00:43:02.222 --> 00:43:06.930
Of course, I want to share
that code for you all

00:43:06.930 --> 00:43:11.593
to get a discount on a Wacom product.

00:43:11.593 --> 00:43:15.680
Thank you again, to Wacom
for offering this discount

00:43:15.680 --> 00:43:17.330
for everybody joining today.

00:43:17.330 --> 00:43:20.740
So there are a lot of
different products to explore.

00:43:20.740 --> 00:43:23.860
So this link will be
dropped into the chat.

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:26.750
I see Jeremy's already
done that. Thank you.

00:43:26.750 --> 00:43:30.740
And you can explore the different
devices that are available

00:43:30.740 --> 00:43:35.253
and you would save 10% with the
code that's available there.

00:43:37.341 --> 00:43:39.740
All right, should we dig into the Q&A?

00:43:39.740 --> 00:43:40.573
- Let's do it.

00:43:40.573 --> 00:43:42.280
And I'm going to give you
a huge shout out, Stacey

00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:43.770
because I know you can't see it

00:43:43.770 --> 00:43:46.310
but there is so much love
pouring into the question section

00:43:46.310 --> 00:43:48.301
saying, best professional
development ever.

00:43:48.301 --> 00:43:50.020
I've learned more in 40 minutes

00:43:50.878 --> 00:43:52.770
than I learned in life 40
hours of traditional training.

00:43:52.770 --> 00:43:55.460
So thank you for being
really, really actionable

00:43:55.460 --> 00:43:58.150
with the kinds of tools that
teachers can use tomorrow

00:43:58.150 --> 00:43:59.090
wherever their students are.

00:43:59.090 --> 00:44:01.400
But let's back up one little bit here

00:44:02.656 --> 00:44:03.710
because at the very
beginning of this session,

00:44:03.710 --> 00:44:04.980
Michael wants to know,

00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:06.560
what do these tablets even look like?

00:44:06.560 --> 00:44:09.137
Like, what does it look
like when a teacher uses it?

00:44:09.137 --> 00:44:10.310
If you don't mind holding up yours,

00:44:10.310 --> 00:44:13.290
just give a sense of how
it looks and how it feels.

00:44:13.290 --> 00:44:16.270
- Okay. So this is the one
that's really portable.

00:44:16.270 --> 00:44:17.103
This is the Intuos One.

00:44:17.103 --> 00:44:19.619
This is a small Intuos.

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:20.860
So it's the one that you're
seeing like on my screen share

00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:22.844
actually right now, it's a small one,

00:44:22.844 --> 00:44:23.750
the one all the way on the right.

00:44:23.750 --> 00:44:25.520
And so this is the
Bluetooth version of it.

00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:26.850
And so literally, you know,

00:44:26.850 --> 00:44:29.240
you just press the button
to turn it on and off.

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:30.700
And it's Bluetooth enabled.

00:44:30.700 --> 00:44:35.140
And when I am using the pen here,

00:44:35.140 --> 00:44:38.840
it works exactly like a huge mouse pad.

00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:41.340
Okay. So you think of this as a mouse pad.

00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:43.850
So like this top left corner corresponds

00:44:43.850 --> 00:44:45.980
to the top left of my screen.

00:44:45.980 --> 00:44:47.890
And this top, the bottom right

00:44:47.890 --> 00:44:49.540
is like the bottom right of my screen.

00:44:49.540 --> 00:44:52.056
So wherever I'm positioning my pen

00:44:52.056 --> 00:44:55.420
is where I'm going to be
writing on the screen.

00:44:55.420 --> 00:44:59.810
And so then I have a pen,
so it mimics exactly.

00:44:59.810 --> 00:45:01.605
It's like a giant mouse pad,

00:45:01.605 --> 00:45:04.120
and I'm able to write with the pen.

00:45:04.120 --> 00:45:07.860
So that's this style of
tablet. I don't see my screen.

00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:09.870
I have to like look up at my screen

00:45:09.870 --> 00:45:11.200
to see where I'm writing.

00:45:11.200 --> 00:45:13.360
So you might be thinking
this is so difficult.

00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.060
Here's what I found. My
students all have one of these.

00:45:16.060 --> 00:45:19.540
I have a classroom set of
these. It takes about a month.

00:45:19.540 --> 00:45:21.220
So the first time they use it,

00:45:21.220 --> 00:45:22.680
they're like, what is this thing?

00:45:22.680 --> 00:45:23.900
How am I supposed to write with this?

00:45:23.900 --> 00:45:26.400
It does take about a
month to get used to it,

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:28.580
to get used to like where
you're writing on the screen.

00:45:28.580 --> 00:45:30.193
You're not dragging it like a mouse,

00:45:30.193 --> 00:45:33.600
but you're actually just writing
on the part of the screen.

00:45:33.600 --> 00:45:37.930
But once you get used
to it and you can't see,

00:45:37.930 --> 00:45:40.010
but like there's these
little grids on it too.

00:45:40.010 --> 00:45:43.630
So it's easy to like
align and write straight.

00:45:43.630 --> 00:45:45.690
It's really helpful to have
those little grid lines.

00:45:45.690 --> 00:45:48.870
I use it a lot. There's
also little buttons here.

00:45:48.870 --> 00:45:50.270
If like you need to click

00:45:51.423 --> 00:45:53.570
and so use it as like a
right click or something.

00:45:53.570 --> 00:45:56.746
So you really can use
this to navigate anything

00:45:56.746 --> 00:45:58.560
that you need.

00:45:58.560 --> 00:46:02.010
And then yeah, I found you get
used to it in about a month.

00:46:02.010 --> 00:46:04.610
And the writing on this is so wonderful.

00:46:04.610 --> 00:46:06.441
Like this is used by artists.

00:46:06.441 --> 00:46:09.540
So it's way more than I
need as a math teacher,

00:46:09.540 --> 00:46:10.690
but it feels wonderful.

00:46:10.690 --> 00:46:12.930
It feels like you're
writing on a piece of paper,

00:46:12.930 --> 00:46:14.100
which is what I love.

00:46:14.100 --> 00:46:16.013
And then the other one.

00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:20.330
So what I use more often,
especially now, since I'm at home,

00:46:20.330 --> 00:46:22.090
this is the Wacom One.

00:46:22.090 --> 00:46:26.930
So it is like, okay,
let's see, much bigger.

00:46:26.930 --> 00:46:29.870
It's 13 inches, okay?

00:46:29.870 --> 00:46:34.060
This one, and this is a
pen display style One.

00:46:34.060 --> 00:46:35.680
I don't have it plugged in right now

00:46:35.680 --> 00:46:37.390
because I just didn't want to, like,

00:46:37.390 --> 00:46:41.040
I was afraid with all these
people on that I was going,

00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:42.650
my internet would lag or something

00:46:42.650 --> 00:46:44.829
when I had too many screens plugged in,

00:46:44.829 --> 00:46:45.662
and I have so many things plugged into

00:46:45.662 --> 00:46:47.423
my computer right now.

00:46:47.423 --> 00:46:48.256
So that's why I don't have it on,

00:46:48.256 --> 00:46:49.440
but pretty much I keep this thing on,

00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.130
plugged in all the time into my computer.

00:46:52.130 --> 00:46:56.620
So again, you plug it in with
a USB into your computer.

00:46:56.620 --> 00:46:57.870
So you plug it in with the USB.

00:46:57.870 --> 00:47:00.640
You also do have to power
this one into a wall.

00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:02.110
So that's just something to know.

00:47:02.110 --> 00:47:03.590
But if you're making videos,

00:47:03.590 --> 00:47:06.930
so you can see like kind
of on my screen here,

00:47:06.930 --> 00:47:09.930
this would be the image,
it's mirroring your screen.

00:47:09.930 --> 00:47:12.310
It's just like, if you're in a classroom

00:47:12.310 --> 00:47:14.160
and you have a projector.

00:47:14.160 --> 00:47:17.000
You know how it mirrors
exactly what's on your screen?

00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:18.330
That's exactly how this works.

00:47:18.330 --> 00:47:20.960
So it is like a second display,

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:23.540
and you're able to see
what you're writing on.

00:47:23.540 --> 00:47:25.970
So it feels a lot more comfortable.

00:47:25.970 --> 00:47:28.363
I mean, I definitely like my Wacom One,

00:47:28.363 --> 00:47:31.425
what I use more often.

00:47:31.425 --> 00:47:34.110
It's totally what I use for, all right.

00:47:34.110 --> 00:47:36.270
So I use it for making my videos.

00:47:36.270 --> 00:47:38.320
I also use it for grading student work.

00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:40.630
So grading student work,
I actually use Kami.

00:47:40.630 --> 00:47:43.110
Students just turn in a PDF.

00:47:43.110 --> 00:47:45.660
I open it. I open up the PDF in Kami.

00:47:45.660 --> 00:47:47.800
And I'm able to hand write all over it.

00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:50.020
I'm also able to leave video comments

00:47:50.020 --> 00:47:51.730
and able to leave voice comments

00:47:51.730 --> 00:47:54.193
because we have a paid
subscription to Kami.

00:47:55.150 --> 00:47:56.450
It's a huge tool.

00:47:56.450 --> 00:47:57.880
If your school already has it

00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:59.730
and you haven't explored it yet,

00:47:59.730 --> 00:48:01.840
I really recommend checking it out.

00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:02.850
If you have any questions,

00:48:02.850 --> 00:48:06.380
I have like a video
library on Kami itself,

00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:08.500
but I use it for that.

00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:10.320
I use it for lesson planning

00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:14.920
and I use it as like my daily like notes

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:18.610
because I can just mind
map whatever I want to do.

00:48:18.610 --> 00:48:20.750
And I'm using my Wacom One for that

00:48:20.750 --> 00:48:23.800
because I'm plugged in pretty
much all the time right now.

00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:26.330
So I hope that helps.

00:48:26.330 --> 00:48:27.163
- Oh, that's great.

00:48:27.163 --> 00:48:29.180
And so, you know, the next
obvious follow up question

00:48:29.180 --> 00:48:31.170
is like, Hey, this looks amazing,

00:48:31.170 --> 00:48:34.100
but Max Sellers want to know,
does it work with my platform,

00:48:34.100 --> 00:48:36.820
with my tools, in general,
are these compatible

00:48:36.820 --> 00:48:38.360
with like Macs, PCs, Chromebooks?

00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.090
Do you know about that?

00:48:40.090 --> 00:48:41.070
- Yeah. Great question.

00:48:41.070 --> 00:48:43.957
It is compatible with Macs and PCs.

00:48:43.957 --> 00:48:47.183
It is not compatible with Chromebooks.

00:48:48.120 --> 00:48:49.280
- Okay. Got it.

00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:51.630
And then you were showing us
so many of these applications,

00:48:51.630 --> 00:48:53.700
whether it was Jamboard or Kami.

00:48:53.700 --> 00:48:56.320
I assume pretty much anything
where you're on a Mac and a PC

00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:58.305
and you have a document that
you're interacting with.

00:48:58.305 --> 00:48:59.910
You can use the tablet on it.

00:48:59.910 --> 00:49:01.032
Is that right?

00:49:01.032 --> 00:49:05.600
- Yeah. So again, any
of these Wacom devices.

00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:07.620
Think of it as like how you're,

00:49:07.620 --> 00:49:10.660
if your mouse currently
works with the program

00:49:10.660 --> 00:49:13.569
and you're able to currently
like press the pen tool

00:49:13.569 --> 00:49:15.033
and draw with a mouse

00:49:15.033 --> 00:49:17.430
and you know the unpleasant experience

00:49:17.430 --> 00:49:20.790
of trying to do that, then with the Wacom,

00:49:20.790 --> 00:49:23.200
you just literally now have a pen

00:49:23.200 --> 00:49:26.887
that you're writing, like you
are writing on the screen.

00:49:26.887 --> 00:49:29.380
So think of it as your
mouse pad with a pen.

00:49:29.380 --> 00:49:30.850
- Cool, cool. That's really helpful.

00:49:30.850 --> 00:49:33.186
And then I think the
elephant in the room question

00:49:33.186 --> 00:49:34.900
comes from Janette, who says,

00:49:34.900 --> 00:49:38.970
Hey, I want one of these so
bad, but how do I afford it?

00:49:38.970 --> 00:49:41.110
Have you heard about
teachers using Donors Choose

00:49:41.110 --> 00:49:43.580
or other platforms to
make this more available

00:49:43.580 --> 00:49:44.530
to their classroom?

00:49:45.370 --> 00:49:48.920
- Yeah. I mean, definitely people have,

00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:51.506
people have asked their schools too.

00:49:51.506 --> 00:49:55.033
I know a lot of schools are
providing them this year.

00:49:56.040 --> 00:49:59.850
So, again, if you wanted to ask

00:49:59.850 --> 00:50:04.270
for the most affordable
option, the Wacom Intuos line

00:50:04.270 --> 00:50:08.280
would be the one that
I would go for there.

00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:10.360
And honestly, I would
ask for the Bluetooth one

00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.140
because it's only like
$10 more for the Bluetooth

00:50:13.140 --> 00:50:14.560
versus the wired one.

00:50:14.560 --> 00:50:16.530
And it's something, this is my thing.

00:50:16.530 --> 00:50:18.060
And I've talked to some
teachers about this

00:50:18.060 --> 00:50:20.060
who want to ask their school about it.

00:50:20.060 --> 00:50:24.150
This is not a device that
we are using just now

00:50:24.150 --> 00:50:25.513
because of remote learning.

00:50:27.370 --> 00:50:30.850
I've been using these devices
for years and years and years.

00:50:30.850 --> 00:50:33.310
This is a device that's going to amp up

00:50:33.310 --> 00:50:35.560
our classroom in all different ways.

00:50:35.560 --> 00:50:37.020
There's so many ways we can use it.

00:50:37.020 --> 00:50:38.410
We can use it in class.

00:50:38.410 --> 00:50:41.730
We can use it before class to, you know,

00:50:41.730 --> 00:50:43.830
make our flip classroom lead videos.

00:50:43.830 --> 00:50:47.670
We can also use it post-class
to grade student work,

00:50:47.670 --> 00:50:50.166
to make everything be in
one space for students.

00:50:50.166 --> 00:50:54.440
There's also a lot of benefit
to having all of this saved

00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:58.290
for students in their Google
Drive or whatever it may be

00:50:58.290 --> 00:51:01.910
because don't forget if you
are making this digital work,

00:51:01.910 --> 00:51:04.290
and you're saving it for
them in a digital way,

00:51:04.290 --> 00:51:05.950
giving them that digital feedback.

00:51:05.950 --> 00:51:08.040
Now it becomes searchable.

00:51:08.040 --> 00:51:10.490
So that's something else
that's really powerful.

00:51:10.490 --> 00:51:13.080
So again, I've talked a
little bit about Kami today,

00:51:13.080 --> 00:51:15.360
but Kami is what I use.

00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:17.470
And I grade the student work in that too.

00:51:17.470 --> 00:51:20.870
And this has OCR, optical
character recognition.

00:51:20.870 --> 00:51:23.910
And that means that
anything that's on here,

00:51:23.910 --> 00:51:28.000
even like hand written
stuff becomes searchable,

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:29.420
super powerful there.

00:51:29.420 --> 00:51:32.240
So that's what I would say is like,

00:51:32.240 --> 00:51:34.626
this is not something that we're going to

00:51:34.626 --> 00:51:36.130
just be using this year, not to mention.

00:51:36.130 --> 00:51:39.000
So I showed you some of the
newer Wacom products right now,

00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.350
but I'm being completely honest here.

00:51:41.350 --> 00:51:42.210
I'm not just saying this because

00:51:42.210 --> 00:51:44.080
you know Wacom's here with me,

00:51:44.080 --> 00:51:46.410
but the class set of
tablets that I showed you,

00:51:46.410 --> 00:51:48.420
like this class set here,

00:51:48.420 --> 00:51:50.040
you can see that this
tablet looks different

00:51:50.040 --> 00:51:50.873
than the one I showed you.

00:51:50.873 --> 00:51:53.140
That's because this is an older version.

00:51:53.140 --> 00:51:57.170
I got this class that in 2013.
It is still going strong.

00:51:57.170 --> 00:52:01.260
I'm still using the same class
set of tablets since 2013.

00:52:01.260 --> 00:52:04.860
Like what other technology are
you using seven years later?

00:52:04.860 --> 00:52:09.079
And it works just as well
as it worked on day one.

00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:11.200
And that's the, I think
the power of these things

00:52:11.200 --> 00:52:14.300
is because like it's not
tied to an operating system

00:52:14.300 --> 00:52:15.483
or anything like that.

00:52:16.573 --> 00:52:18.338
You just plug it in to your computer

00:52:18.338 --> 00:52:21.270
and you know, like worst case scenario.

00:52:21.270 --> 00:52:24.720
Now the USB doesn't plug in
and I need a USBC adapter.

00:52:24.720 --> 00:52:26.710
Like that's really the only difference,

00:52:26.710 --> 00:52:28.440
but they have true staying power.

00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.503
These things are built to last.

00:52:31.777 --> 00:52:35.900
And so it's going to be
to me an investment for,

00:52:35.900 --> 00:52:37.660
if you're making an
argument to your school

00:52:37.660 --> 00:52:39.930
it's an investment for your school.

00:52:39.930 --> 00:52:40.930
- Very cool.

00:52:40.930 --> 00:52:42.250
Well, speaking of staying power,

00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:44.073
I'm thinking so many
questions about battery life

00:52:44.073 --> 00:52:46.110
because I think here in 2020,

00:52:46.110 --> 00:52:48.320
our phones are dying, our iPods are dying.

00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:52.110
We can't even get enough
chargers to plug everything in.

00:52:52.110 --> 00:52:54.110
What's the battery life on these things?

00:52:55.590 --> 00:52:57.640
- I don't know what the battery life is

00:52:57.640 --> 00:53:00.490
on the Bluetooth one.

00:53:00.490 --> 00:53:04.250
It lasts a really long time.
I mean, I really don't know.

00:53:04.250 --> 00:53:06.210
I just plug it in occasionally.

00:53:06.210 --> 00:53:10.250
It's not like it's not going
to run out during my class day.

00:53:10.250 --> 00:53:12.590
It also doesn't stay on the whole time.

00:53:12.590 --> 00:53:14.570
So I don't worry about that.

00:53:14.570 --> 00:53:17.654
The Wacom One has to be plugged
into the wall all the time.

00:53:17.654 --> 00:53:19.730
So there's that.

00:53:19.730 --> 00:53:21.550
And then the class set that I have

00:53:21.550 --> 00:53:24.630
is the one where they plug it in.

00:53:24.630 --> 00:53:27.000
So I've never run into that before

00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:29.340
because it doesn't, there's no battery.

00:53:29.340 --> 00:53:32.200
So I don't know the exact specs

00:53:32.200 --> 00:53:34.350
on how long the battery lasts.

00:53:34.350 --> 00:53:35.183
- Very cool.

00:53:36.897 --> 00:53:37.970
I see a lot of questions coming in

00:53:37.970 --> 00:53:40.170
about like using this
for specific use cases.

00:53:40.170 --> 00:53:43.030
I know you're a math
teacher, but you know,

00:53:43.030 --> 00:53:44.700
if you were imagining a teacher,

00:53:44.700 --> 00:53:47.520
especially in a special ed
special education environment,

00:53:47.520 --> 00:53:49.730
who wants to use it to really
energize their students

00:53:49.730 --> 00:53:51.420
during this very difficult time,

00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:52.975
are there any tips you might recommend

00:53:52.975 --> 00:53:55.870
to really use this to engage and harness

00:53:55.870 --> 00:53:57.520
the creativity of their students?

00:53:58.630 --> 00:54:01.210
- Yeah. Okay.

00:54:01.210 --> 00:54:04.150
So, I guess the first thing
that I really believe in,

00:54:04.150 --> 00:54:06.490
I really do believe in
the power of handwriting,

00:54:06.490 --> 00:54:08.920
both for students and for us as teachers.

00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:11.650
So for example, when I make
my flip classroom videos,

00:54:11.650 --> 00:54:14.490
I'm always writing, as I'm talking.

00:54:14.490 --> 00:54:16.250
I've seen some people,

00:54:16.250 --> 00:54:17.980
they feel like their
videos look a little bit

00:54:17.980 --> 00:54:19.650
more professional when
they write it all out

00:54:19.650 --> 00:54:22.050
ahead of time because their
handwriting looks neater.

00:54:22.050 --> 00:54:23.760
Like they're kind of scripting it.

00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:26.700
They're able to write and then talk.

00:54:26.700 --> 00:54:30.610
For me, students follow as I'm writing.

00:54:30.610 --> 00:54:34.540
So I like to write and talk
because they're doing the same

00:54:34.540 --> 00:54:36.590
and I want them to be taking notes

00:54:36.590 --> 00:54:39.180
and they're able to kind of
see how I'm working through

00:54:39.180 --> 00:54:40.500
the flow of that problem.

00:54:40.500 --> 00:54:42.410
So I think there's huge power

00:54:42.410 --> 00:54:45.060
in being able to write and talk.

00:54:45.060 --> 00:54:47.970
So like, to me, a lot of times

00:54:47.970 --> 00:54:51.976
I think that making a lesson
where I kind of have maybe,

00:54:51.976 --> 00:54:55.259
even I'm just using the
Jamboard very simply

00:54:55.259 --> 00:54:58.850
and I have a little bit of bullet points,

00:54:58.850 --> 00:55:01.200
but then I'm writing as I'm talking.

00:55:01.200 --> 00:55:03.250
I'm writing out some bullet points there.

00:55:03.250 --> 00:55:04.960
I think it's more engaging

00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:08.300
because students are seeing
something on the screen

00:55:08.300 --> 00:55:11.954
versus just the flat text.

00:55:11.954 --> 00:55:13.410
Do you know what I mean?

00:55:13.410 --> 00:55:17.791
And even if you just draw
little images as you're going,

00:55:17.791 --> 00:55:20.580
that can be really powerful too.

00:55:20.580 --> 00:55:25.400
So I think it's auto
sketch that it's like,

00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:26.270
is that what it's called?

00:55:26.270 --> 00:55:29.730
I really liked that, auto
draw, that's what it's called.

00:55:29.730 --> 00:55:31.740
Obviously it's saved to my thing

00:55:31.740 --> 00:55:35.400
because like you can be
sketching as you're doing class.

00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:37.090
I don't use it in my math class

00:55:37.090 --> 00:55:39.500
but it recognizes what you're doing.

00:55:39.500 --> 00:55:42.703
So like if I start drawing something,

00:55:45.220 --> 00:55:46.510
it will recognize it,

00:55:46.510 --> 00:55:49.860
so I can have terrible
drawing and be like, Oh yeah,

00:55:49.860 --> 00:55:53.850
I was trying to draw a van
and so, you know, again,

00:55:53.850 --> 00:55:57.280
so it can just be like the
power of having some visuals.

00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.170
The students can see that

00:55:59.170 --> 00:56:03.743
and maybe you could
allow them to, you know,

00:56:04.738 --> 00:56:06.010
you could pass a tablet around

00:56:06.973 --> 00:56:07.806
and allow them to sketch notes.

00:56:07.806 --> 00:56:10.230
I think that's something else
that can be really powerful.

00:56:10.230 --> 00:56:14.290
Having students summarize
what they're learning

00:56:14.290 --> 00:56:17.970
through sketches and little annotations.

00:56:17.970 --> 00:56:22.500
So again, you could
have them here drawing,

00:56:22.500 --> 00:56:25.600
and then also they can use
just the regular draw tool here

00:56:25.600 --> 00:56:27.230
and they can actually hand write there.

00:56:27.230 --> 00:56:28.660
That wouldn't be auto recognized.

00:56:28.660 --> 00:56:31.384
This magical one is the one
that's going to auto recognize

00:56:31.384 --> 00:56:32.780
whatever you're writing.

00:56:32.780 --> 00:56:37.780
So yeah, that could be just a
simple, really powerful tool.

00:56:37.970 --> 00:56:39.810
- Yeah. I think that's
powerful for every student.

00:56:39.810 --> 00:56:41.972
Like, especially in this
moment, we're all apart,

00:56:41.972 --> 00:56:45.310
to bring more visuals, more
sort of eye catching moments

00:56:45.310 --> 00:56:47.475
into our teaching is so powerful.

00:56:47.475 --> 00:56:49.410
What about for younger students?

00:56:49.410 --> 00:56:52.400
Again, I know that you teach
older students in your day job

00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.810
but have you heard about
teachers using this successfully

00:56:54.810 --> 00:56:55.990
with younger students,

00:56:55.990 --> 00:56:57.920
especially if you're
giving them the tablets

00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:01.270
and asking them to input
their own handwriting?

00:57:01.270 --> 00:57:05.340
- Yeah, so I'm lucky I
work at a K-12 school,

00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:09.534
so I get to see the younger
kids in our lower school grades.

00:57:09.534 --> 00:57:12.420
All of our students are
actually using Seesaw.

00:57:12.420 --> 00:57:14.497
So if your school is using Seesaw,

00:57:14.497 --> 00:57:16.400
it's already built in there,

00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:17.830
that they're able to draw on anything,

00:57:17.830 --> 00:57:20.720
they're able to actually draw
and record at the same time.

00:57:20.720 --> 00:57:22.970
So they can talk out their math thinking

00:57:22.970 --> 00:57:25.360
or whatever thinking that they are doing.

00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:27.360
And if you're able to pass out the tablet,

00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:29.892
then they can really
practice the writing also,

00:57:29.892 --> 00:57:33.220
which can be, you know, super powerful.

00:57:33.220 --> 00:57:35.134
For our youngest students, they do,

00:57:35.134 --> 00:57:38.833
I will say that they do very
well with just using a mouse.

00:57:38.833 --> 00:57:42.700
And usually what they're
drawing is rather simple.

00:57:42.700 --> 00:57:44.350
So maybe they're drawing some shapes

00:57:44.350 --> 00:57:47.493
or you're trying to help them
like learn about counting.

00:57:47.493 --> 00:57:51.423
And that's one of the most
difficult things right now.

00:57:52.430 --> 00:57:54.800
I also have a niece that's six years old

00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:56.360
and she's also using Seesaw.

00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:58.640
And sometimes we get on the
video and we'd do it together.

00:57:58.640 --> 00:58:01.310
And it's like, she's
trying to add the numbers

00:58:01.310 --> 00:58:02.990
and she's doing really well with it,

00:58:02.990 --> 00:58:04.980
but sometimes she just
needs those visuals.

00:58:04.980 --> 00:58:07.730
So we're able to either draw them out.

00:58:07.730 --> 00:58:10.840
Sometimes I tell my sister
to go get her some crackers

00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:14.250
so that she can pull those up too.

00:58:14.250 --> 00:58:16.370
And, but, you know, you
could even take a picture

00:58:16.370 --> 00:58:20.470
of some of those, pull them
into Seesaw or whatever it is,

00:58:20.470 --> 00:58:23.617
and then use the pen to
cross things out too.

00:58:23.617 --> 00:58:25.560
I think that's the power,

00:58:25.560 --> 00:58:28.830
like starting to verbalize
your thinking process.

00:58:28.830 --> 00:58:31.500
So whether that's a student
or you as the teacher

00:58:31.500 --> 00:58:35.430
who has a device and you're
able to really make it visual

00:58:35.430 --> 00:58:37.960
to students what's going on.

00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.710
And again, not just like
a PowerPoint presentation,

00:58:40.710 --> 00:58:42.690
with some fancy animations,

00:58:42.690 --> 00:58:44.810
I personally just find
those harder to follow.

00:58:44.810 --> 00:58:47.113
I need to see the writing, the flow.

00:58:48.470 --> 00:58:50.423
I also need to be doing the writing,

00:58:51.270 --> 00:58:53.360
that to me, like I cannot,

00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:55.750
I don't know about other math teachers.

00:58:55.750 --> 00:58:58.590
I cannot like type a math solution.

00:58:58.590 --> 00:59:01.670
Like when I'm doing my solutions,
I have to hand write it.

00:59:01.670 --> 00:59:03.210
Maybe I'll type it up afterwards,

00:59:03.210 --> 00:59:04.983
but I can't think like that.

00:59:06.190 --> 00:59:07.960
- There's something about,
like, the sketching,

00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:09.760
the doodling that actually
unlocks your brain

00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:10.723
in a powerful way.

00:59:11.570 --> 00:59:14.720
- Yeah. I also don't
think completely linearly.

00:59:14.720 --> 00:59:15.910
I think that's it too.

00:59:15.910 --> 00:59:18.716
Like with all these white boarding apps,

00:59:18.716 --> 00:59:21.500
we can be writing in
different spaces on the screen

00:59:21.500 --> 00:59:23.980
and it doesn't have to be so linear.

00:59:23.980 --> 00:59:27.440
So we really can map information together

00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.420
and help our students understand

00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:31.440
how all this stuff webs together.

00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:33.590
I think that's why I liked the AWW app

00:59:33.590 --> 00:59:35.740
that I showed you too,
because you can have, like,

00:59:35.740 --> 00:59:38.500
you can be writing here
and here and here and here

00:59:38.500 --> 00:59:42.330
and then you can zoom out and
see that web all come together

00:59:42.330 --> 00:59:44.220
and make those connections.

00:59:44.220 --> 00:59:46.370
- Very cool, well, speaking
of making connections

00:59:46.370 --> 00:59:48.840
you've connected so many
educators across the country

00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:51.380
tonight, Stacey, to each other,

00:59:51.380 --> 00:59:53.517
to awesome opportunities
in their classrooms.

00:59:53.517 --> 00:59:56.779
So I have to thank you so much
on behalf of this audience.

00:59:56.779 --> 00:59:59.620
That being said, any final words of wisdom

00:59:59.620 --> 01:00:01.450
as folks get ready for the end of the year

01:00:01.450 --> 01:00:03.630
and the start of a new one?

01:00:03.630 --> 01:00:05.083
- Oh my gosh. Right.

01:00:06.580 --> 01:00:08.490
First, I just want to say
thank you to everybody

01:00:08.490 --> 01:00:12.020
who is on this call today
because I know how much

01:00:12.020 --> 01:00:13.800
everybody's already doing right now.

01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:15.860
And then taking the time out this evening

01:00:15.860 --> 01:00:19.090
to just further grow as an educator.

01:00:19.090 --> 01:00:21.560
I mean, this is why I love teachers.

01:00:21.560 --> 01:00:23.490
When I first started teaching, I was like,

01:00:23.490 --> 01:00:24.850
I know I'm in the right profession

01:00:24.850 --> 01:00:27.440
as soon as I saw how
generous educators are

01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:30.764
and just like that love of learning.

01:00:30.764 --> 01:00:32.930
So I really appreciate you being here,

01:00:32.930 --> 01:00:36.730
and everything that, you know,
you all are doing right now

01:00:36.730 --> 01:00:39.986
in the classroom and
trying to make it all work.

01:00:39.986 --> 01:00:44.986
If I can help in any way,
please do reach out again.

01:00:45.270 --> 01:00:49.750
My information is here. Contact
information is on my blog.

01:00:49.750 --> 01:00:52.660
Also, if you are on Twitter,
I'm very active on Twitter

01:00:52.660 --> 01:00:54.960
and you can go ahead
and leave me a message.

01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:57.540
And I will definitely respond back to you.

01:00:57.540 --> 01:01:02.520
If you click on any of the
videos that I shared today, again

01:01:02.520 --> 01:01:05.170
they're also in the PDF that
you can take home later.

01:01:05.170 --> 01:01:07.960
If you watch some of those
videos that I have on YouTube,

01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:10.070
and you have a question,

01:01:10.070 --> 01:01:12.170
please just put it in
the comments on YouTube.

01:01:12.170 --> 01:01:15.760
I definitely get to all
of my YouTube comments.

01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:18.530
So that's sometimes the
easiest way, you know,

01:01:18.530 --> 01:01:20.300
you were watching it
and you're like, well,

01:01:20.300 --> 01:01:21.623
what do I do here?

01:01:22.620 --> 01:01:23.510
Just let me know.

01:01:23.510 --> 01:01:26.580
Because as I said, I just
wish that I could have come

01:01:26.580 --> 01:01:27.890
to this today and said like,

01:01:27.890 --> 01:01:30.077
these are the three apps that you need,

01:01:30.077 --> 01:01:32.776
but that wouldn't be me being real.

01:01:32.776 --> 01:01:36.510
Me being real is trying
to find what you're doing

01:01:36.510 --> 01:01:39.210
at your school already
and offering a solution

01:01:39.210 --> 01:01:41.770
that's going to work well
for you and your students,

01:01:41.770 --> 01:01:43.620
even though I might have a favorite one,

01:01:43.620 --> 01:01:46.960
that might not be what's best
for you and your setting.

01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:50.975
So I hope that the variety of
tools kind of got you thinking

01:01:50.975 --> 01:01:54.760
and then you will be able
to click on one of them,

01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:56.150
zone in on that.

01:01:56.150 --> 01:01:58.693
And as you do and as questions come up,

01:01:58.693 --> 01:02:03.003
