2. Welcome & Tell Me about You: Hi everyone and welcome to the course. I just thought I'd take a quick minute to introduce myself to you and to get you guys to introduce yourselves to me. So first off, my name is Hayley and I'm the founder of I speak English online academy tech for TEFL teacher training. I've been teaching since 2013 and I specialize in TEFL, so teaching English as a foreign language or teaching English as a second language. So I teach people from all over the world. My students ages range from seven to 70, and I teach from beginner to advanced level English. So I have quite a range of abilities to cater for. I've worked in private schools in Italy and Spain, and then three years ago I decided to make the switch to online teaching. Now, when I first started teaching online, I'll admit it was a struggle. You have to get used to using all these different tools and the technology. And you have to get past that barrier of not having a physical presence in the classroom. When you're teaching ELLs in particular, it's even more difficult because obviously you're not speaking the same language or their native language is not the same as yours. So you have that kind of double barrier to go over. And that's exactly why I made this course, is to help teachers that was struggling to take all of the amazing skills that they have in a physical classroom and transfer them to an online setting and still be able to give their students amazing fun, engaging lessons. So if you're one of those teachers, I really hope this course is gonna make a difference to your teaching online. So now that I've introduced myself to you, I thought it would be a nice idea for you guys to introduce yourselves to meet. So head on over to the Q and a section and just tell me and other students in the course a bit about you. So what's your name? Where are you from? What level? English DT. Where do you teach? And what's the thing that you're most struggling with at the moments about teaching online. So the idea is that in the Q and a section, we can kind of create this community of teachers that will all be there to kind of help each other if someone's got a question or they're struggling. So if you've got a question about one of the extensions, you can ask it there. If you've tried something in one of your classes with your students and they loved it. You can let us know. Or even if you're just really struggling and really anxious about teaching your next class online, you can let us know too and we'll be there to help you. So if you haven't done so already, head on over to the Q and a section now and say hi, and come join the family. So that's all for me. Let's jump into the code. I'll see you in lecture one.
3. Online Teaching Toolkit: Hi everyone and welcome to your first lecture. In this lecture, I just wanted to briefly show you your tech for TEFL tooltip. So this is all the extensions and apps that you need to download to follow on with this course. So we'll be using seven tools for our toolkit. So let's start with the extensions. First of all, we'll be using two extensions, one called poll everywhere, one called Ed puzzle. So if you don't know what an extension is or how to download it, it's a pretty simple process. So an extension is just a mini program that you can attach your Google Chrome browser. And they all have different functions. So to get one or you need to do is open your browser and then search Google Chrome extensions. Once you've searched it, you should be able to see the Google Store and then click it. And inside the Google Store, you'll be able to see a big list of extensions. Or you can search for one that you want to use. In particular, once you found an extension that you want to use, just click Install and it will download automatically. Then once it's installed, if you look up to the top bar in your browser window, you should be able to see a little puzzle. Now that puzzle piece is your extensions lists. And if you click it, you'll be able to see all of the extensions in your list. If an extension is colored, it means it's active. And if an extension is gray, means it's desert. So to activate an extension, just click on it and it will be colored on it will open in your browser window. Be wary if you have too many extension's running or active at once. It might make your browser window Rhonda bit slowly. And also some extensions can kind of cancel each other out. They can work against each other and they'll class. So if you ever have an extension that's not working properly, make sure that you turn all of your other extensions off and that should make one of your extensions work well. So my advice would be just if you're not using an extension, make sure it's not activated. Otherwise, you might have a bit of a mess on your hands. And that's it. That's all you need to do to download an extension. So go ahead and download Poll Everywhere and at puzzle now. And then we'll move on to our Google add-on. So we'll be using two add-ons in this course. One called paddock, one called Near pot. Now, add-ons are a bit different to extensions. They only work when you open a Google Doc or a Google slide. The two that we'll be using R for Google Slides. Go ahead and open a Google slide. Now, if you don't know how to do that, you can get to it from the apps button in your browser menu. So click on apps and then click on Google slides, and it will open a Google slide for you. Once you're Google slide is open, you'll be able to see in the tool bar that there will be a tab called add-ons. So click on that tab and then go down to get adults. And again, it will open a window and you'll see a list of add-ons that you can download or you can search specifically for the add-on that you want. When you found an add-on that you want, just click Install and it will download automatically. Once it's installed, Go back to your add-ons menu. And you should be able to see it in the list of add-ons that you have installed. And then click it to open it. And that's it. That's everything you have to do to install an atom. So go to your add-ons menu now and install head and near pod. And then now we're gonna move on to your. So apps are great because you don't actually have to install them if you have Google Chrome or if you have a Google account, you will already have all the apps and your apps window for you so you don't have to download or install anything. So I'm just going to show you how to get to your menu. So there's two ways you can get to your apps menu worn is from your browser window. So if you go up to the top and you look to the left, you will see a square of dots. So just click on that and it will take you to your apps menu and you'll be able to see Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, and any other apps that you have. The other one you can get to apses from any other app. So let's say for example, you have your gmail open. This time. If you go to the top and you look to the right, you will see the square of dots again. So click on it and you'll have your list of apps there as well. So that's it for you all tech thats a whole toolbox. So join me in the next lecture where we're going to be looking at the add-on pad. I'll see you then.
4. Peardeck Tutorial: Hi everyone and welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you a quick tutorial of the add-on pad, which is a fantastic writing tool that I use in most of my writing lessons with my students. It's completely free and it allows the student to interact with Google slides and you can see what the student is writing in real time. It has two settings, teacher paced for live lessons and student paced for homework or asynchronous classes. And you can use it to teach any type of writing. I use it to teach essays, story writing, letter writing, and articles. So let's take a look at what it looks like and how to use it them. So again, this is a Google Slides add-ons, so you'll need to go to your Google slides. So like I showed you before, go to your button here, click it, and then just click on Google slides and it will take you directly there. So this is my Google slides. As you can see, I already have quite a lot of slides open. So I'm going to show you one that I used to teach formal letter four, fc B2 Cambridge exam. So in order to use it, you will need to create the slides yourself. So there are quite a few websites where you can download some nice kind of templates, have slides that you can use. So I'll link a few of those in the Google Doc, you go to the extra resources section at the end, there'll be a Google Doc there with tons of and links and things that you can download. And for any of you that do teach B2 Cambridge, I'll make one of my slide templates for the B2 essay free. And I'll put a link in the Google doc at the end of this course and you can download it and use it in your own lessons for free. So as I said, in order to use this, you'll have to know how to use Google slides first. If you're not sure how to use Google slides, I do have a tutorial on Google Slides in my other course, which is available, it's called Google Suite for online teaching. And I'll put a link to that in the Google doc below as well. So if you already know how to use Google Slides goods, you can create a nice presentation for your students. And then what it does is that it allows you to add interactive activities into the slides. So if you haven't already, go ahead and click on add-ons. And as you can see here, I already have my pair deck installed. But if you don't go to Get add-ons and just search for pair deck and downloaded. So if I click this now and I go open pada, you'll be able to see it on the right here when it Oakland. Okay. So there we go. It's open. And you can see here they do have a template library, which is really nice, so you don't have to spend hours like building your own templates. So I would definitely suggest. Looking at that. And then here you can see that you have some different activities. So I'm just going to show you how these work. So for example, if I go down, so one of my slides here, you can see that I have this bar at the bottom would buy little pair and it's a student's right to your response. So if I'm doing this interactively with the student, the student will have a different looking page and they'll be able to see a box where they can actually type. And there'll be able to type back to me in real-time. I'll show you the students point of view in another lecture later on in the course. But for now I'm just going to show you how to use it in your, in your lessons. So all I did was create this slide on my own by adding textboxes and things like that. And then if you want to make the slide interactive, Open your paddock add-on and then click one of these options here. By the way, if you delete this at the bottom, your little paddock thing, if you delete that, the slide is no longer interactive. So if you want that slide to be interactive, do not delete the bar at the bottom. I've just deleted it for the sake of showing. Okay, so this slide at the moment is just a normal slide. Students can't interact with it at all. Whereas if I want to add text, for example, just click it. And then you can choose either student devise classroom project if you're teaching online, choose student device at the Sloan hit Update slide and they go dot slide is now interactive and the student can then right on that slide and you'll be able to see, well, they're writing in real time. If I want, for example, to do a little quiz, I can click choice. And I can create a little multiple choice quiz for my students. Again, go student advice. And so to add a multiple choice, you'll need to have a question already on Neil slide. So for example, let's create, let's have a blank slide here. So if I go New slide, let's just add a blank form here. And if I insert my textbox up, let's say I'm teaching essays or something. And I can put which style. You need to write an essay. And you can add multiple questions here. I'm just gonna do one for the sake of showing you. So I've got, that's my question. And then if I add a choice bar here, and then I can have my choices as formal or informal. And then update slides. And then your students will be able to click AOB formal, informal, and you'll be able to see that responses, numbers. I'll leave that out because it's for math. You can add a link in here if you want to maybe take them to a YouTube video or something, it would be quite nice. So let's say you have a video for essay writing. So let's go to my YouTube. So I do have some videos for essay writing on my youtube channel. So I haven't EG channels specifically for English language learners. So if you want to check it out. So let's say I'm teaching a c1 and I want to show them how to write an introduction. I can just share this link here. So if I hit share and go copy link, and then I'll go back to my pad and I hit link or website. I'll go next and then I'll stick in my link and then add in. So when you want to present this, when you've done all of your slides and everything's interactive and you want to present, don't present it normally. Presented with paired. So instead of hitting this button up here, which you would normally to present a Google slide, you need to hit star lesson. Ok, so one more thing. Before I show you how to present it. Before you present, you have two different options. You can even require the students to login. So if you have a big class that might be helpful because you'll be able to actually see their names when they're writing. And you can see everyone's writing by name. And if you just have one single student, you don't have to, because obviously you know who's writing. But if you go up here next to start lesson and go down and if you click Require student logins, and that student has to log in with their Google account. Whereas if you just click, if you unclick this, then they can go into the paddock anonymously and they don't have to log in. Which is, it's much easier because you don't have people laughing around. But if you want to see them names, if you have the classes, it's better to get them to log in. So if I hit start lesson now, and I go instructor paced, because I'm teaching live. It will open your periodic window and it will give you a link that you have to send to your students. Okay, so if I click down here, gives students link, link, Copy to Clipboard. And then let's just go and open up an Incognito windows so that you can see this is what it's gonna look like from the student's point of view when they go to login or not, if the law governing in anonymously. So it comes up this cute little thing that's quite nice. For kids. For adults. It's slightly juvenile, but I do use this with adults actually, and they enjoy it just as much as kids do. So just they can skip it so all they can say what that feeling. Okay. And there they go. They have, so they can't actually control this at the moment. They just have to wait for me to control it. Ok. And then if I go back to my teacher view, you can see now that does warmest students connected and I can start my class. So click Stop class. And then I'll go through the kind of OK, this is what you have to do, is an example. This is your structure. You can also link games in. I have linked quite a few. I have quite a lot of free games available on my word wall account. I'll be showing you where it all in another lecture. But I'll link my profile in the Google doc at the end of this course. And you can access all of the games that I've made. Specifically for ESL and EFL. You can access all those games there that completely free. And you can just use them in your lesson list. I really fun, they're really good. For example, here is an interactive slide that my students can use. So if we go back to my student view, now, my students can see this and they can type in this box here. And then if we go back to my view, and if I hit Show responses, I can see what my student rights. And you'll be able to see that for all your students, right? So to end the session, you just click end. Or let's say if you don't manage to get through everything in your class and you just want them to finish that bit of writing. You can actually turn this into a homework session. So just go on, turn on student paced. And then it will give you a separate link. Here. You have to give the students this separate link to make the activity student paced so that they can control the screen rather than you. So just send them that link either on the communication tool or classroom, whatever you're using. And they can finish this for homework, which is great. And have a nice tool that pada cars is that you can add little prompt into the live class, which is great. So maybe if you're not getting much feedback or if I don't know people or maybe they don't really know how to ride all that panic gain. And you can get them to pause for a second, pools and write what you've just learned, which is really cute. So if I add that at the end of the class, students can then go and ride. They'd learned. That's your basic paddock tutorial. I'm gonna show you how I use it specifically for teaching different types of writing in another lecture. But that was just to introduce you to the add-on itself. So that's everything for paired, actually me in the next lecture where I'll be giving you a quick tutorial of jumbled, which is Google, that you can use for collaborative writing. So I'll see you then. Bye.
5. Jamboard Tutorial: Hi everyone and welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you the basic functions of the jumbled. So jumbled is an interactive whiteboard that you can use. And its basic functions are completely free. And it allows students to make these bold interactively. So they can write on the board or add images or links. And you can see it during the lesson. You can see how they're editing. You can also just use it as a board, whiteboard for yourself. So this is great for collaborative writing work, for making presentations, for story writing, storyboarding. They can use it for brainstorming. They can draw on it so it can add stickers, PDFs, links. It's a really good interactive tool to use in your class. So I'm going to show you what it looks like in its basic functions and how to use it now. And then in a lecture later on, I'll show you how I specifically use it for teaching writing in the EFL classroom. So let's take a look at jumbled. And so to open jumbled, yeah, you need to go to your app. So when I click on my optic doesn't actually appear, appear as it usually would. So I'm gonna go through it free my Gmail instead. So just click on your Gmail and then go to the right hand side at the top. And then if you scroll down, you'll be able to see here. So go ahead and click that. So these are a couple of gems that I made recently. The jumps are the boards that you make. So this one is false story writing. So I'll show you that now. So this one, it took me like five minutes to make. It's really simple once you know how to use it. So I've got, for example, I've got my wild woods at the top. So this was teaching kinda younger learners story writing. So I've got my wild words or my different objectives. I've got my I have my story mountain here that they have to climb. I've got a little homework sticker and I have my class and unit and everything else. So this was one that I was using in the lesson just to kind of remind them of what we've done in the previous class. In order to make this, I'll show you now. So I'll just show you now on a blank slide. If you want a blank slide, just go up to the top. And you can just click these little ad frame button, CSR. I'm going to click on that and it will take me to my blank slide. And then on the left over here you've got your tool bar. So it's pretty simple. If you want to write. Writing, it's a bit difficult if you've not got a Chromebook. If you have a chrome buckets, really easy because you have your pen and super nice. If you just have a laptop like me, it's a bit difficult to write properly on it. So if I just try and write EFL, For example, it's not great. But another way that you can write is to add a text box which is much nicer. So I can say and then you can also kind of extended anyway that you want to make it bigger. And then you can change the text as well. You can change it to subtitle is you can change the color. You can put it in the middle. So it's really much easier to use than it was before, before. They did not have the text hooks option and it was absolutely impossible. So good for rioting, because then your students can write on it in real time. So you can even write with a pen. You can rub anything out if you don't like it. Rope err on the side here. You have your pointer. If you'll teach in using the whiteboard, you can point. Sticky notes are quite nice. So if you want something kind of important that stands out, you can just write a sticky notes, so just click inside then. You can change the color of your sticky note as well if you like. And there you go, you've got your little sticky notes that you can even make that bigger as well. If you want to make it smaller. You can duplicate them, you can delete them, you can order them, which is nice. You can add in shapes as well. So if you want an arrow, so if you've got something and pulls in society just shot the arrow. And they're not in your textbooks here. And you've also got the laser pointer up. So you can just circle different stuff and the delays it goes away. So I quite like this actually fool putting people's attention on things. So that's the basic uses really, that's all you can do with it, but it's just nice because you can use it interactively. You can share your screen, students can see it. And if you want students to be able to use it, you can just go up here and click Share. And then you change the link, moment minds restricted. But if you just click here and say anyone with this link. And if you go on, edit, send the students that link, and then the student will be able to edit it. And you can see what they're doing. And you can either send it to a group of students and they can work on the same thing together. And you can add this into Google classroom as well. It's really good. And then if you want, you can add one jam and then students can just add different genres. They can add different boards to the same job. So then you'll get like a list of kind of presentations or writings from new students, which is really nice. So a few teaching options. You can use it for presentations. Students can use it to take notes if they want. Digital storytelling is really nice, so I'll show you how to do that in another lecture later on. They can use it for homework if you want them to create a project, will something brainstorming is really good, they can use it for brainstorming. They'll show you that option in another lesson as well. And if anyone has any more ideas on how you can use it specifically for writing, you can go to the Q and a section in the schools and just tell us anything that you've tried with your students and if it worked really well and how they responded to it. Okay, so that's the basics of jumbled. And then in another lecture I'll show you a few different activities that I do with my students to teach writing specifically. Ok, so join me in the next lecture where we'll be looking at a Google slide extension called Poll Everywhere. I'll see you there.
6. Poll Everywhere Tutorial: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture we're going to take a look at a Google Slides extension called poll everywhere is completely free and allows students to respond interactively with Google slides. You can embed interactive questions. You can create word clouds. It's great for warmers and icebreakers. You can use it for brainstorming and you can give open-ended questions, the students too. So let's take a look at how it works then. So if you've not already go and download the extension for your Google slides. And then head on over to your Google slides. Once you've downloaded the extension, you should be able to see it here. So it won't actually be in your add-ons. It will be next to the atoms tab in your menu. So I've just got blank presentation interest to show you a few of the features. And then I'll show you in another lecture how I actually use it specifically for writing activities. So go ahead and click on Poll Everywhere and go on new activity. And it will bring up a list of templates, which is really nice. So you can just use some of their templates anyway. And then you can see here you've got kind of multiple choice questions, word clouds, competitions, which is really nice. If you've got green, you can do true and false. You can get them to rank different things if you want. You can give them open-ended questions. I quite like to give open-ended questions. Start as a Walmart's quite a nice activity. So if you just go ahead and click that, and then when you're activities ready, just hit Edit. And then you can type in your open-ended question. So for example, I can simply just say, What did you do that weekend? Over here. You can allow them to change their answers if they want. It's sometimes it's good for writing. The students might see that they've made a mistake when they've responded. So they can go ahead and kind of correct themselves, which is nice. And you can limit it to one response per person. So depends on the activity. If you're doing a word cloud, no, keep it open and they can respond this many times. If you're just doing a warm response, then yeah, I would limit it to one response per person. And anonymous participation you can do if you like as well. If you're not really tracking that writing progress, it's just like a little warmer or something. I would go for anonymous participation because it just makes it easier and people don't have to mess around point man names and stuff like that. So I'll click on for Now. Be careful though that if you do put anonymous participation, it will make it past, present, future for this activity, for all of your activities that you have to do for this particular one. And I would say respond from web rather than text messaging. I'll show you how the students can respond now. But when I actually tried to use the text messaging option, it wasn't available for me. It might be only possibly available for people in the US. I'm in Spain at the moment and enables now available for me. So I will click from the web. I think that would help. So hit save. And then my responses there and I can just go and sit slides. And then it will insert the slide for you. Okay, so that's lined is inserted now. Now you're going to present this as you normally would. Any other presentation. You don't need a special add-on or anything to present it. So hip present. When you're presenting your gonna share your screen from Skype or zoom or pupil meets whatever you're using. And then you're going to tell you the students to go to this website to you. Okay? So this is specific to you. Anymore, only your students will be able to respond to this. So they can do this on their phone. I have my phone here. So I'm gonna do this in real time and you'll be able to see my responses to this. So I'm gonna go to that address. Okay. So I've gone to the address down. It's just asked me to put my name in, so I'm gonna go ahead and do that and hit continue. And then he it says enter response. So I'm just going to click and I'm just gonna run until down. You can see me, sorry, I'm Junior whom iPhone and chilled out. And I went out for pizza. And I went OK. So there's my response. And then I'm just gonna click submit and you'll be able to see it. It will come up, they go, it's come up straightaway on the, on the presentation. So if you've got like a full class of kids doing this, you can just do this for five minutes at the stop the class and I can just double click on the phone. And then you get to know what they've done at the weekend. And then you can go ahead and ask, oh, how was it? Did you have fun? Anything else? Is just a nice way to get your students not only talking, but also writing as well in the class. So it just kind of starts to morph in a more interactive way. So just to come out, just click Escape on your keypad. And that will stop the presentation. And then if you want to keep adding, you can go to new activity. And you can go ahead and add some of the other lungs to got tons here. Like interesting visuals that got our charts that you can use drag and drop activities. They've got long specifically for icebreakers, which is really nice. And they've got wonderful big groups of people. This one is really nice at the bottom here. I use this actually to put people into teams. If you have big groups like the tickets, you can put them in teams because, you know, kids are weaker with whom we want to go with him. So I actually use it with superheroes. And I add superior roads and they have to choose their favorite superhero. And then based on whoever's choose, chosen who. You can put them in scenes like that. So that's your basic poll. Everywhere you can go away and kind of look at some of the other activities on there and see how you can use it in class. And then in another lecture, I'll show you the writing activities that I do and how I get my students to write using Poll Everywhere. And that's a separate thing. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you an extension called at puzzle and how to use it. I'll see you there.
7. Edpuzzle Tutorial: Hi everyone and welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to use edX puzzle, which is a website and a Google Slides extension. And it's basically very basic video editing software that allows you to embed questions and notes into video. And then your students can interact with these videos while they watch it. So you can use it to reverse engineer your students writing process. Or you can reverse engineer your own writing process in order to show your students how to write properly. So let's take a look at how it works. So if you haven't already go and download the extension at puzzle extension like I showed you to do before. And then go to add puzzle.com. And then you can login with your Google account. And then when you log in, it will look like this. So this is my basic account. I don't pay for this by the way, it's absolutely free. So this over here, you can see your content. So you've got home curriculum, you've got your own school, which is mine. I speak English and you have my content. So I'll just show you Walton and puzzle video looks like. So this is my content at the moment. This is everything that I've assigned so far to my students. So if I click on this one, for example, formal and informal writing. If you look down here, you can see these little dots here. These are questions to I've imbedded into this video for my students. So if I just kind of skip along here, okay? And then you can see here that this question has popped up. So this is what will happen when your students are watching the video. You'll get these questions, will these notes kinda popping up? And then they can write a response directly to this. And you'll be able to see their responses in. If you go up to my classes, Tom, you'll be able to see the responses that. So here I've got some common features of informal writing. For example, use of first-person. I could also write phrasal idioms, for example. And hit submit. And then the video will continue when you click. Okay, so that's what it will look like for your students. Now, I'm gonna show you how to actually embed these questions. So if we go back to the contents again. So what's great here is that if you don't have time to kind of make a video and embed questions. Now, you have, you've already have content on Ed puzzle for things that people have already edited. Which is great. So I mean, you can see my Cambridge video here that people can just take and use. So you've got tons of stuff on here that you can use full EFL or if you're teaching ELL learners, you've got tons of stuff that you can just take from the teachers made. It'll save you a lot of time. But let's say for example, I mean type year like formal writing. Let's have a look, see if there's anything that people have done for formal writing. Okay, so you can already see this quite a few here that you can use. So here you can see it says Add puzzles. So this is things that people have already edited and that you can use. If you look down here, you've got YouTube videos. If you look further down, if you click See more, they are all your YouTube videos that you look on the left over here. You can also get videos from other channels like Khan Academy, National Geographic, TED Talks, it's fantastic. But let's say I want to use this video here. So formal letter writing. So conscious kind of scrub through this video. I can see the main structure, okay, start off with your address. So this could be quite nice. I could add in a question here. And I can just get my students to right in their dress. So if I highlight this video, I want to edit it. Just go to the right-hand side here and click Edit. And then it will come up here. And at the top you can see cut voiceover questions is for videos really long and you don't want to use it. You can just kinda cut off the first, the first bit here. So let's say I don't want no beginning, but that's no use to me. I'll just cut it there. Okay. And then my video will be kind of ten seconds. If I want to add in a question, click on questions. And you have a choice between multiple choice, open-ended, or you can just add a little note if there's something important that you want your students to say. So let's kind of skip along again and get to the address bits. So this is great. So let's say I want my students to write their address. I'll click open-ended question. And I'll site right here address. You can change your font, you can make it bold or italic, underline it. You can also add in images. You can add in a link as well if you want to take them to another website. But when you're done with your question, just hit Save. And then when your students watch it, they'll be able to type in whatever they like into that bada. Okay, let's say I want to add in a note to something really important that they want to know. So governments ought to know about scientific ones. I can say Unknown. I'll save that. And then that will pop up as the students are watching and they'll be able to kinda remember I am writing to someone I don't know the name. So it may concern. So now your questions, you can also other voiceovers. Well, it's a nice idea so that your students can hear your voice and it's just a bit more personal for your students. But if the, if the video already has a voiceover, It's a bit difficult and can get messy. So I just tend to avoid using voiceovers to be honest. And then when you've finished, just go to the top and click Finish. And there you go, your videos made. And then you can assign it here. If you go to the right hand side, click assign. I already have this connected to my Google Classroom, which is really easy to do if you go up to the my classes tab. But if you're not using Google Classroom, you can just give them a public link and just copy that into whichever communication tool that you use with your students. And then they'll have that and we'll be able to respond. To see your students responses. Just go out to my classes at the top. And you can see here these are all of the things that I've given my students. So if I click on here it says for new answers, it's hollow. So here it says I've got full ancestor grade, so I'll click that. And I can see, Have you ever had similar folates? Yes, I did. Why does voting matter? Democracy? What is Election Day like in your country? Okay? So then I can kind of give them a mark if it's marked or I can just see how they balance. So you can give them Maki can give a comment and you can click right or wrong is multiple choice. So that's your content statue grade. So you're content, you got three ways. You can either take content that's already been edited and just assign it. You can upload your own content, but it does take a long time. If you have your own video, it takes a while to upload it. So if you've got enough time, don't upload what you can do with the extension. If you have the extension activated, what you can do is just go to YouTube for example. Let's say I want to give them this video here. And here you can see it says It is with Ed puzzle. Now if I didn't have my extension activated, the option would not be available to me. So make sure you have your extension and it's active. Remember when it's active, it's colored. And then I can just click that. It will take me directly to a puzzle. And there you go. I have my video here and I can just edit it. However I like. So that can save you a lot of time. You don't have to go copy and pasting everything that you need. So that's it really that's had to puzzle. That's how you add questions and embed questions and assign. I'm gonna show you in another lecture how I use it to reverse engineer my students writing process and to actually teach them writing. So you can go ahead and look at now if you're interested or you can stay here and continue with your toolkit. So in the next lecture, I'm going to be showing you Google slides out on cold. So I'll see you then. Bye.
8. Nearpod Tutorial: Hi everyone and welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to be showing you Google Slides add-on called near pod. So near pod is a bit like pair deck. You can add interactive activities into your slides and students can interact with them in real time. But near pod has more activities than pad. So you can add quizzes. You can take your students on virtual field trips, for example. And it also has tons of templates that you can use as well. So let's take a look at how it works then. So what you need to do is go to your Google slides. So this is a Google Slides template that I made for myself and for my students to teach presence simple. So I'll just show you briefly what the near pod app looks like. And then how to kind of insert those near pod slides into your Google slides. So again, if you want to use near pod, you'll even need a template or you'll have to make the slides yourself. So we've got present simple. I teach them two days of the week and then to make sure that they know the days of the week, the correct order, I've added an open-ended question into near pod, which they can respond to. And you can see here it says write the days of the week in the correct order. And then the students will be able to respond in real time and I can see their responses. And then we'll continue daily routine. And then they'll have to match some pairs. And again, the students will be able to respond on, they'll be able to match the images with the writing. What do you do in morning? Talk about my school day. I ask them some questions, introduce positive, negative, and then I'd give them a quiz. And so they need to know the difference between first, third person, present simple memory tests just to recap those verbs that they learned for the data, we give them a number and open-ended question, write full sentences about Isla De. So now they actually have the time and they have to ride properly about their own day. Okay, so you can see that near plot has a lot of different. By the way, this is completely free. I don't have the Premium version of near pod. That's all you can get it if you like. But I work for myself so I can't afford to have the Premium version of every single app. But the basic version is fantastic on its own. So if your school or district will not pay for named Paul and just use the free version anyway. And it's great. So that's basically what it looks like now, I'll show you how to add the slides into your Google slot. So let me just go down to the bottom and I'll just create a new slide. Okay, now near pod is an add-on. So like oil over atoms, just click on add-ons. And if you have it, you can see the main. If not, just go down to get Adams like you would search for near pod and uninstall it. So I've already got it, so I'll go open nipples. So this has actually already been saved in the APOC because I've used this quite a lot. But if I want to edit this lesson, I can go at it. And then I can start updating things. So you can see here, I can add audio. I can add a video, collaborate bowl to fantastic. I'll show you how to use these in another lecture because I used these for writing, which is great. They can draw or if they want. You can take them on a field trip. Filling the blanks is great. I used as well. They don't have to write though, it's just a drag-and-drop thing. You can integrate flip grid if you know what that is. Much impairs MY meta. Open-ended questions I used them for, for writing. You can have a pole, which is great quizzes. Oh my god, the Sony options. It's fantastic and they're all free. Okay, so let's say I want to an open-ended question. Let's just click that. And I'll show you before, like the one that I already showed you. I said, write full sentences about if you want, if you have really low level learners and they need some kind of visual stimulus to help them. You can add media so you can add an image, video, you can even add a PDF if you want audio. You can send them to an eye blink, or you can also just record your own voice and add it into the slide. And then your student will have you telling them what to do on the slide, which is great. If it's a kind of competitive sort of quiz. Or if you're matching pairs, you can even add a timer, which is fantastic for kids because they'll be there all day. And I also at the time of full These writing 1s because kids can be a bit slow sometimes. So I'll say, okay, you've got one minute per centers and I'll add a timer and also their performance. And then they will be able to see that time are going down as their rights. Whether they finished or not, the timer will stop and they won't be able to write anymore. Okay, and then hit save when you're done. And there you go, you've got your interactive slide. So when you're done with this and you want to present, you can actually present using Google slides. You need to present it from near pod. Okay, so when you're done with everything, you can go down here and click Save and go to near pod and that will save everything and it will import it directly into near pot. So if I go off to near plot now. This is my near pod account, so you'll just log in with your Google account. And you can see that I have this presentation here. I can either do this live participation, student pays. So if you're live, pluck live, if you need it for homework or asynchronous clickstream paste. You can also preview it's as well before you do it, definitely preview it. Cuz then you can see, or if students can say, oh, you can see any spelling mistakes or anything that you made. So we'll call this one here. They said, we open-ended questions. So my students will see this right the days of the week in the correct order. And then they can click yes. And that concert and London. And then when they're done, you can see these responses. And then you can click continue. And then you can carry on, show them their daily routine. And then we'll carry on. Okay, now I have to match two cards that say, OK. Well, okay, I'll click this one. I get dressed. And then I'll continue like, what do you do in the morning? My school my school hasn't simple. Ok. Quiz. So then do you play computer games? Yes. Yeah. And then you just go through light dots and you can say, okay, if you won't live participation, like I said, you cannot do this from Google slides. You have to do it from near pod. So the live, just click live and then they'll come up with a link. And then you can send that link to your students. So you can even do it directly in a Zoom meeting. If you do z2, if you use it, you can give them a link. You can put it directly into Google classrooms as well. If you use Google Classroom or you can send it in an email by Facebook for IP law. So that when they hopped out you'll be able to see kind of students have joined this this meeting and then you can present and all. If you haven't got time to be making lots of Google slides, you can literally just go to the near pod library and you can search for any sort of lessons that you want. They do have English language are. So you've got like different phonics lessons, which are quite nice. You've got punctuation. Or you can also search as well. So specific lessons that you need. Okay, so that's basically how you use napalm. And that's the end of section one. That's all your tutorials done now. So head-on to section two, and I'm going to show you how I use all of these things to teach writing specifically in live lessons. So head on over to section two, and I'll see you then. Bye.
9. Warmers - Brainstorming : Hi everyone and welcome to section two. And section two, I'm going to show you how I use all of the apps and extensions I spoke about in the last section in live lessons to teach writing to my students. And in this lecture I'm going to show you how to use Poll Everywhere to create word clouds, to brainstorm vocabulary and get your students writing the vocabulary that they're going to use in their writing project or whatever you're teaching. So first of all, to use this, you need to go to your Google slides and open your Poll Everywhere extension. So let's do that. Now. I'm in my Google slides now. Last time, I already showed you how to use Poll Everywhere to ask open-ended questions at the start. That's a really nice icebreaker, really nice warm, and it just gets them writing at the start of the class. So I would recommend doing that as well. Maybe not every lesson, but it's just a nice way to interact with your students and get them writing at the same time. So use your open-ended questions. And also, once you actually want to start revising vocabulary or recapping vocab that you've done from a previous lesson, or just to test their knowledge on the vocabulary that you want them to know in that lesson. What you can do is you can create a word cloud. Word Clouds are great for brainstorming. So go to your PollEverywhere Adam and go new activity. And you will see even in the first one, your word cloud here. So just click on your word clouds. And when it stay, you can click edit. And then you can give a title or you can kind of give instructions. I just tend to give it a title and then I'll give spoken instructions to my students in the, in the lesson. So let's say that you'll teaching story writing and you'll teaching a particular genre a lot, say fantasy. So you want to put fantasy world. Let's say you can have any words, verbs, adjectives, nouns, whatever they like. They can type in there. So I'm going to keep on allowed changing ounces. And I'm not going to limit my responses because I want as many words as possible for my students to see. So don't limit responses. Keep your anonymous participation off. Because if you do it, then you'll need to do it full everything. And don't restrict your participants either. And always click on web. Because I've found, as I said before, that the text messaging option doesn't work. So just do it on the web and then hit save. If you want to dress these up a bit as well, if you're teaching like really young learners or something, you can go to your visual settings and you can make it a bit more color, colourful images. So I like my word. You can use a text or a cluster if you like, or you can even like spotlighted I for my word, cloud. And you can make it dark or bright. I'll go for Brian. You can have a color scheme if you like. I'd be worried that your color scheme is only for premium users. I don't use this in a premium way. I use the free version. So if you want to make it all colourful and Fancy, Premium version, unfortunate. Same if your fonts as well. You'd have to get the premium version for that. And you can change your background again, you'll need to premium version. Ok. So if you want, you can add an image. So let's go to a URL. And let's say, let me just type in here, like I'll see what comes up. Okay, cool. So I've got some kind of fantasy things here. So I'm going to copy the link address and I'm going to put that in. And I'm going to upload it. And then I get my, I get my image in here and the students can see this kind of fantasy. Well, to give them some more ideas. So go ahead and click Save when you're done editing and everything. And go insert slides. Okay, there we go. So I've got my fantasy world, my fantasy worlds, and I have my fantasy world. So when I present it, present. And then again, you would also hit Share on your communication tool, on Skype or Google Meets Zoom, whatever you're using, you would share your screen so that the students can see this. And then say, okay, everyone go to this address now. They can either do it on the tablets, computer, whatever they're using. They can do it on their phones. Probably easier to do it on their phone. Because then when you're sharing, they'll be able to see all of the words that everyone else rights. And they can kind of continue writing on that road phone at the same time. So for any pole that you do, this link will be the same because it basically links it to your profile on Poll Everywhere. So just go to the, I'm going to do this now in real time so you can see me do it. So I'm gonna go to that link. And it says here, fantasy world can't see that very well. And I'm going to do that. And then it says here you can see fantasy. And I'm going to type in my response. So let's say drug a. And then I'm going to hit submit. And it should pop up and burn in mind if you change the text color, you might want to put like a light, a light to image behind so that you can see the text better. So it's a dragon. And then when they're doing this, if you get too many characters, you can say, okay, switch, undo, fantasy object. And then they'll have to stall saying. So and you can continue like that. And if you have ten people in the class, you're going to have a huge word cloud. And then they'll authority brainstorm that vocabulary. It will be in the head. And it will make the next bit of writing a bit easier because they won't be hesitating trying to think of words. So you can either use it to kind of test their vocabulary and then introduce new vocabulary. Or you can use it as a way to recap low COP that you've done in the last lesson. But it just gets them writing and it gets them thinking in English. And it will also help dot next bit of writing that you do as well. Okay, so that's how I use Word Clouds for brainstorming and for writing. Join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you a website called word wall, which I use again for brainstorming vocabulary, specifically for formal and informal vocabulary. So I'm gonna show you how to use that in the next lecture. So I'll see you there.
10. Warmers - Recapping Vocab: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you a website called Word War, which is absolutely fantastic. I used this website in every single lesson without doubt whether I'm teaching writing or not, I always use it. And the basic word wall is completely free. But you can't get the premium version as well. I've used the free version for about the last two years. I recently upgraded to the premium version just to be able to get extra games and stuff like that. So head on over to Word wall.net. That's the website that you want to go to and make yourself an account again, is completely free. And this is what word wall will look like when you have your accounts. You're not going to have all of these folders. These are my folders that I use for all my games. As you can see, I have gains for every different level of English from a1, a2, b1 up until advanced. I have different games for Cambridge exams. I have games for business English, I've got games for kids. And all of these are public there available and free to use. And I will link my profile, My Word will profile down in the extra resources section in a Google Doc there you can find this and you can use these games. You're free to use them in your lessons as you please. And I'm going to show you one particular game that I used to teach the difference between formal and informal writing, particular formal and informal linking words. So this is mainly used to recap vocabulary. So first of all, I'm just going to show you the activities that you can actually use. You can go ahead and kind of play around with it yourself. I'm not gonna go through every single one. So these are a list of activities you can do quizzes, random wheels are great. I use these to ask questions. All the time. You can have match ups, find March, you can play hangman, great for kids, whack-a-mole, and be really good for like homework activities that are kind of fun. Little game shows, word searches, the tons, anagrams for spelling. It's amazing. So I'm gonna show you the one that I've used, one of mine that I've created for formal and informal, right? Okay, here we go. So I've got one for an essay and then I've got one for letters as well. So let's take a look at, let us say this is the gain. So if you teach an informal letters, you need to kind of show your students the difference between formal and informal. So at the bottom here I've got all of my formal phrases that I could use in a letter. And at the top I've got all of my informal freezes. And they just have to match the formal to the informal. So you could do this in two ways. You could eat while you're doing this live. You can say, Okay, okay, Luca, tell me the informal version of owing to. And then they have to find a hero and they would respond to it because of, okay. And then I will move it to the separate boxes. Or you could put this as a link in Google slides or you can just put it as a link on Google Classroom and they can do it themselves. Maybe after a lesson, after you've already introduced this, they can do it to revise, or you send it to them in the lesson and they can do it themselves. You can actually set it as an assignment, which I'll show you here. If you go share, you can have, you can share with students and go set assignments. And then click star. You can put an a monad and everything. People enter with their names and then you can just copy that, send it to them in Skype, Zoom. And they can do that for like the first five minutes of the lesson themselves. And then when they're done, you can actually check that grades and kind of walk walk rate they got. So if you go up to my results, you can see all of the things that you've said. How many people have done it. So I can see here, for example, a 131, this one. And you can see when they took it. You can see how many decor correct, how an integral incorrect, and the time they took to do it. So I mean, you could even make it like a competition activity, the first person to do it and get all of them correct. You get a virtual stick, something. So this is really great. Just for making it again a bit more interactive. And it gets students thinking about the language that they have to use when they write. Specifically when that non native speakers as well, non-native speakers of English. It's fantastic to get them thinking in English at the start. So I'll just briefly show you how I made this activity and then you can go and just play around with it yourself. So to create an activity, just hit create access and then choose whichever one you like. So the activity I made was the macho activity where you drag and drop. So I'm just gonna click on that. And then let's say like formal. And then you have your keywords. So I have my form along the left and then my M form on the right side has because. And then over here I had o into here, I had hello, blah, blah, blah. And then you continue going like this out as many as you want. Click done. And it saves your activity. And you've got it done. And what's fantastic about word goal as well. You can also make these games into worksheets. And again, you can put it directly on Google Classroom or you can send them a link as absolutely brilliant. So if you go down here and you can see principles. So this is great. They can have like little matcha poorly. They can have a crossword or words. So let's just click match. And then once it's done there, you can either print it or you can download it. I'm going to download it. And you can see here is downloaded as a PDF, click it and boot data. So you can even send this virtually. And they can just kind of add lines onto it if they like. What you can also do, this is a really great tip and answer. Absolutely fantastic website. You need this in your life. If you'll teaching virtually, you can go to live worksheets.com, but shown here. And you can make any PDF interactive on this website. So for example, here's a to be one. And you can just click. It. Integrates directly with Google Classroom as well. So if you want, you need to create an account and go make interactive worksheets. And then you can put that as an interactive worksheet. And your kids, and your students. And your students can do that online and they don't have to Pfaff around with screenshotted and then draw on it. So I would absolutely fantastic. And one of the things that I would use for Ryan is a word, we'll so if we go to create activity, you've got your random, we'll hear, which I love. And I would use this for writing. So I would just like right, random questions on if OK, if you're doing something specific, you can do something specific. But let's say I'm teaching future and that's my grandma points. So I could just say, what are you planning to do that on your next lesson? Christmas. So you can just put like lots of future questions or any question you like, hit done. And then we spin the wheel. So at the stop the lesson, let's spin. Okay? What are you doing after this lesson? So that our students can time per response. They won't be able to type it on word wall. You'll just have to share your screen, but they could type it in the chat box or you could get them to open a Google document or any sort of document on my computer. And then they'll have to write that response in English on the document. And you can also set this as a homework activity as well. So again, send them the link and then write instructions in Google Classroom or wherever you've sent the link and say, write your response to the questions here. And then they can spin it themselves. And it's a bit more interactive. So I do that for writing as well on workable. But generally I use word wall to either recap vocabulary or teach vocabulary that they're going to be using in that writing, in that list. So go ahead, take a look at word. Again, I'll put my profile link in the Google Doc with the end in the extra resources section at the end of this course. And you can use any of my games that I've created there to teach English. Okay, so that's everything for word wall. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you jump on board and we're going to be creating story chains on jump. I'll see you then. Bye.
11. Collaborative Writing - Story Chains: Hi everyone and welcome back. In this lecture, we're gonna be using jumbled for collaborative writing. Specifically, I'm going to show you how to use jumbled with your students to create story chains. You can actually use this for any type of writing, not just story writing. You could do this in a letter or an article or a view, anything that you like. For the sake of this lecture, we're just going to concentrate on story writing for now. So if you want to follow along and kind of create your own story chain, jam, then go ahead and open up jump board. And I'm gonna do the same. So you can see here that I've got john open already. It's just kind of a rough thing that I've done. Just for the sake of showing you and probably just LPA little if i was actually presenting this in a, in a lesson. But let's say maybe you've already gone through kind of fantasy writing in another lesson. So here you've just got the stuff from last lesson to kind of remind your students what they need to do. So you've got your kind of setting there on the left. You've got your characters on the right. You have some kind of powerful words allow words at the bottom. And then on the left you have your story mountain. So they have something to follow along with. So this is the kind of first jump. So if you remember when I showed you before, if you go up here to the top, you can see all of the gems that you've got in this kind of bold. So this is the assist job. So they can refer back to this whenever they like. So what you're gonna do in the live lesson when you kinda going through old plot and characters and vocabulary and everything. You can go ahead and share this. So remember that you need to change it. You need to change the permissions to anyone with this link. And then click edit. And then go and done, and then copy the link and send it to your students. So when they've got that link, they'll then be able to edit all of this. But they are only going to want to edit the second and the third. So this is for them to refer to that. And if we go to the second jam, you got your brainstorming session. So together, all of your students can brainstorm on this job. So you've got characters, you start to build up problems that the episode. So he would call a DDL. I've already put this on. Now let's say you send the link to your students. Let's just go ahead and open up this link in Incognito window for second. So if I add that link, and you can already see that I'm on this link now. Not only myself but my team. So if I go here, I can see that. And then I can edit this as a student. So you can tell your students, okay, just adding notes. Put one note, one per character, one for a startup on for Bill. Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and add another node. And I'm going to say, I don't want that. And then I can just put this over here and I can make it smallest. Okay? And then let's go back to my teacher panel. And you can see here anonymous armadillo, that's me. I've added a note. So if you get like maybe five students in a group, you can send them WAN link to this and then they can all collaborate at the same time. So again, let's say if I take that link again and open another Incognito window. So I'm student number two. Now. Again, you can see the two people already on this. So I'll click to the right and I'll add in another node. So let's make it pink. And I'll say that we've got the stops. So that again, if I go back to mind teacher panel, I can see that it's added it so they can brainstorm together. If you have to do. You can also use breakout rooms on zoom and they can literally do this, talk to each other as well. And then right at the same time, if you don't, they can just write on their own, but they'll still be able to see everyone else's writing. So if you've got five of them or maybe even ten, this is going to fill up pretty quickly. This is gonna be done in a couple of minutes. So then when they put lay brainstorm and they think, Okay, I kind of know what's going on. I've got my stall, my buildup, everything. Then they go to the next slide and then write your story together. So this is where your chains coming. So you're going to have to direct this in the class. Everyone's going to have to have this open. And you're gonna say, okay, can you write the first sentence of our story, please? On Marco's going to have to ride so he can either add a text box or he can add another sticker. So let's go for textbooks for now. So let's go. Mako says, okay. So don't forget while words, again, they can flick back to the first, to the first bold. Or you can share that board wisdom so that they can constantly see the words and they can kind of use it to help them. So that was an amazing stuff. Okay, so that's often a sentence. And then you go over a new site. Okay. Marina, can you write the next sentence of our story, please? Okay. And when we now ask the textbooks, and let's say she maybe she describes Willie. And then again, if, let's say we flip back to our, our students accounts now to those Incognito things that we did. If I flick over here, then I can see what's going on again, if I click to my other one, let's look over here and they go. And so you can give them like maybe 50 minutes or something. So you can guide this. And you could even have a timer there as well if you wanted on your screen, you can be like sharing the screen. You can even have it more structured. And at the side, you could have kind of character intro, just like we did here. And each person can write that section rather than that sentence. It depends on how big your classes, how many students you've got, what they want to focus on. And another way you can do this is that you could have kinda WAN, but just for the intro and have maybe five students working just only intro on that row in a breakout room. So the way that you would do that is you would just go here and click add. And then just write your, your interests lie to you. So they've got their introduction here. If you want, you can change the background. Apologists is in Spanish now because I'm making I mean, because I'm Incognito and it's gone off my Spanish IPs. Here it would say background. So you can change the background. And then again, you could have maybe five students working on this introduction by themselves. And then you can add another one for the buildup. Let's say. If you don't want to keep kind of adding things, if you want to keep things the same, you can just duplicate this slide. Let me go back to my English. I can actually see properly. You can also see here that they've added on. And if you can see Hughes Odenwald on here, which is really helpful. So if you don't want to keep creating brand new slides, you can just do duplicate. Click here, and then click on a slide. And then we can just change the title so that to build up. And then again, you can just keep duplicating that and going on. All of these gems. If you have separate group, she'd have to have kind of five tabs open at the top here with your different jams. Okay, so let's say you got 30 students to class and you want them in groups of five, so equals six groups. But you want them all to do the same activity. But you don't want them collaborating along the same thing. You want them in groups. So what you do is just go up to this icon here with the dots, more actions, and click, Make a Copy, and then assign that. So story Chains, group one. Okay, that's gonna save to your Drive automatically. And you can share it with the same people if you want. Or you can just click okay. Okay, that will open up and then you can just hit share again. Again, this is restricted now, so make sure that you change it. Go to Edit, Copy link. And then you can just send that to each group separately. And then you'll have six different groups working on six different jumps. And then you'll be able to see them in real time. In your tab, you'll be able to see people adding things and different ideas, and it's a really fun interactive way to do writing. You could also use this as a homework assignment as well. They could work on this jam for homework and then you can assess it later on. But it's a really nice way to use it interactively in a class. That's everything, full story chains and jumbled. Joined me in the next lecture. We'll be looking at jumbled again. But this time I'm going to show you how to teach essay writing using gem. So I'll see you then. Bye.
12. Collaborative Writing - Essay Writing: Hi everyone, welcome back. And in this lecture we're going to continue looking at Chambord. And I'm gonna show you how to use jumbled to teach essay writing and to have your students interactively write an essay together. So this is for collaborative writing as well. So if you go to jumbo again and open, open, like I will now, you'll see here I've just made a quick little essay writing introduction, write your introduction below. On the left, I've just got sticky notes with useful phrases to remind my students that they need to be using specific linking phrases throughout their essay. And I've also got the kind of structure below as well. So I would use this after I've already introduced him to the essay. Or maybe they've kind of practice writing a couple of times. And you could use this the first time as well just to check their understanding of the structure and the language that they have to use. So they've got their phrases there, they've got their structure to help them. And then what I would do is share this ligand. And I would have, if I have a grew quite a big group, I would have one group, let's say find students working on the introduction together. I would have one group working on the first paragraph together, your body paragraph and another group working on the second body paragraph, and another working on the conclusion. So what I would do is I would share this link, change it to get link, and anyone with this link can edit and then copy a link and share it with whoever needs to see it. And so I'm just gonna go and open it in separate window here. And I'm going to open it with one of my other email accounts. Okay. So you can see that I'm already and that my other email accounts using this. So I'm going to show you with both screens so I can show you what it looks like from kind of the teacher point of view and then what you'll be able to see when your students are adding things to the lecture. So to do this, I'm going to use an extension. Actually, this is an extra extension that you can download if you like, particularly if you don't have to monitor setup. I do. But for the sake of this, I'm going to show you on one monitor. And so this is great if you want to split your screen basically between two windows and you can get the list extension. And what that will do is it will split your browser windows. It will split your screen into your browser windows. So if I click this down, I can split it to different kind of lens, but I'm just gonna go 50-50. And there you go. It's split my screen into two different browser windows. So I can have my teacher one on this one, and I can have my students version on this one. And you can see them books sell images. My teacher is on the left, must student is on the right. So let's say my student wants to add that for the first sentence into that job. So let's say, let's for example, say that we're doing an essay on tourism. Ok, and now you can see it's on the left-hand side here. In real time. I'm watching the student right now in real time. So there was no doubt tourism last time. Ok, so I'll put that in and then hopefully, there you go. You can see on the left it's updated straightaway. So you can give this to different groups and then you can kind of look each jump. So for example, let's say I've given this jump to my other group as well by upset. Okay, you need to work on jom number two, which is the body paragraph. So then you have a separate group working on this. So you can flick back and forth between asset writing, teacher, account, and then you can see each student kind of typing. You can get them to log in. If you don't want to do it anonymously, you can actually see he's writing a which is great. So they can say firstly, okay, and then the update. So you as the teacher can just flick back and forth between John. And you can see different groups working on different jumps at the same time. And then when it's finished, your students would have written an entire essay together, basically, and you'll be able to see the essays. So if I flip back to number one, I can see their introduction. There is no doubt that blah, blah, blah. In this essay I will discuss blah, blah, blah. And then you'll flip on to number two. Firstly, tourism can be a danger because, for example, and then you can go through like that. So it's just a really nice way for your students to be able to practice writing together. And they can kind of work as a team and create a whole essay together before they go off and do it completely by themselves, it just makes the task a bit less daunting. And you know, they could also see that the classmates maybe making mistakes as well. So particularly for EFL learners or ELLs, they might be a bit apprehensive about writing, particularly if other people can see them, right? Abba, if they can see everyone else and they can see that maybe they're making mistakes. And you can also obviously comment as well as that Ryan too. So if you can see whoever wrote this sentence, for example, you can actually see here that I have written an arrow here. So I've spelled with an a. And you can say to that person NOW take out the a. It's spelled CEO, you LD. And then at the students can hear what the students feedback. And you can get kind of real time feedback on their writing, which is really helpful. So that is how I would teach essay writing or at least practice essay writing in a lesson. After I've already introduced the structure and the vocabulary that they need, this would then be the last part of the lesson. We'll practice everything they've already learned within them. And so that's it for jump board. You can use this for any type of writing really if you just kind of split it into sections and have people working on it together. And again, you can use it for homework as well. And it's a really great homework two. And they can use it not only for writing, both for kind of presentation. And he saw approach. Okay, so that's everything for jumbled. So join me in the next lecture where we will be looking at individual writing. And I'm going to show you how I used to practice individual writing in the lesson. I'll see you there.
13. Individual Writing - Peardeck: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to practice writing individually with students. And even when you're in a group, or if you're teaching just one student at a time. And this is an interactive way for students to practice writing and so that you can see it in real time as well. So we're going to be using paired, which I showed you in section one how to use. So go ahead and open up Herder and I'll do the same. And so as you can see here, I've got, I've already got a template that I've made. So I'm gonna be teaching Cambridge B2 exam and I'm going to teach students how to write a film review. So at this point, my students would not have seen a film review, will they have no idea how to write one? So I'll just quickly show you a few slides and I'll show you the paired FDA interactive slides that I added in. And then I'll show you it from a teacher and the students point of view. So first of all, I kind of say like for quick things that you have to think about a full things to remember your purpose, your language is structured and descriptive language. And then I'll show them an example of a review. And then I'll just ask them some basic questions. How many paragraphs do you need, what you need to include in each paragraph? What type of language should you use? And then I'll briefly go over the structure. I'll have also gone over some language beforehand as well. I won't use this for the entire lesson. This Google Slides, you're kinda few ones. And I tend to kinda play vocabulary games may be using word wall, which I showed you before, or just talking about films as well. Asking them what their favorite films are, what they like to watch. And then once you've already got some vocab, then I'll go through the structure. Here. You can also add the games in using links and they can click on the link and go and play vocab game themself as well. So review the structure with them. And then we get onto our interactive slides so you can see the bottom periods interactive. Now, the only thing that I tend to use from paddock when I'm teaching writing in particular. This just, I'll show you here if I open up my add-on prepared. The only option and I tend to use the text option because then they can just write as much or as little as they want. And so the, the interactive bit that you see here is the text option here. So I've got text option in, and I'll always have some kind of useful phrases on there that they can use or some useful language. And I'll have that kind of basic structure of what they need. So they need a catchy title topic sentence that can use a rhetorical question if they lie. And you've got general information as well. And then I have an example of a review question that they might have to answer as well. And then I'll just kind of continue with each part of the review separately again, would be useful phrases and language that they can use. Okay. So I'm going to present this then, and I'm going to show you how a student would see it on a, on a teacher would see it. And then I'm going to interact with it and you can see how it would work in a lesson. So to present his usual kind of open your pad account on and go start lesson. Construct a pace because you're doing it live. Okay? And then you're going to give the students this link. So I'm going to paste it in here. And again, I'm just going to use lists for this like I did in last lecture. If you didn't see the last lecture, Julius is an extra extension that you can download. And it will split your screen institute screening. So I'm gonna click here and I'm gonna click off and half. So I've got mine teach aside on the left over here, and I've got my students on the right. So I can just kind of skip this if they want. And then you're gonna hit stop class. Okay? So this is what you can see, this will your students and say. So you're going to flip through and that's gonna update in real time on your student's page so they'll be able to see local. She'll just be talking, explaining everything they need to now. And then you show them the example. Ask them a few questions, give them their structure. Ok. And now we'll onto the interactive slide. So because, because, because I'm splitting my screen, you can't actually see the whole thing that students would see if they have this full screen. And you'd be able to see the textbox because I'm splitting, they'd have to go answer question question on a question that can kinda flick between. If this was full-screen, she'll students full screen. So they'll have everything they need on the left old that vocabulary in that structure. And then they can write the answer here. And then again, if I do the same with my teacher page, you can see here show responses. And that will show all of your students responding. So even if you're in a group class, you'll be able to see more than one student respond at the same time. So let's just might not small ago. So I'm the students and I need to write my title and my introduction. So I'm gonna go and answer my question. And let's go on the show responses here. So I'm waiting for responses on. As soon as I start typing, it will come up in the box. So let's say my film is the lion. So you can see me writing in real-time. Okay, so you can see I've made quite a few mistakes. So again, if you're a student makes a mistake during the lesson, you can tell them on OSA, it's spelt like this. Or maybe this would be better. Or can you use a linking word or something like that? So then you'll student coat and go back and change stuff. And it will come on here and you'll be able to see it. And if you have more than one student, you'll be able to see many. You'll have like a list of responses basically, and you'll be able to check. If you have people so anonymously you won't be able to tell who's on who. If you're using this with a group of students and they all have a Google email address, a Gmail address. You'll be able to see that as that responded. So I'll just go through light-dark basically, kind of slowly work my way through. I mean, you can do one section per lesson or you can try and get every section done in a lesson if you want. And then if you've not finished, you can also use this as homework. If I make this bigger again. And if you're not finished, just go turn on student paced. And it will show you everything. For homework. If you have the premium version, you usually get about a month of the premium version for free when you sign up to pattern. So if you do have the premium version, I can open this in a new window and I should be able to see data. I can see my students responses here. So this is anonymous, This is me. But if you had ten students should be able to see all their responses in your dashboard window. And that would also save to your dashboard. And you could go in separately, maybe if you've set it for homework, you can go back and kind of grade, or you can even comment on here as well. Some, some feedback. You can star it separately as well. I'll show you here, just go to pair there. If I go to the actual website, you can see all the sessions that I've had here with different students. Last Friday I did something with a full color. And so I did this with an individual student naturally, but we'll have a look. Okay. So he got this student had never seen a formal letter before. It was electrode application that we were doing, for example. And this is what they wrote. And I can go and comments again. This is the second bit here. And I can see I actually set this for homework. I can see she's not done her homework yet because I'm still waiting no responses. So that is what it will look like from your students and your teacher point of view. And you can use this to teach anything. I use it to teach all different types of writing, from store rewriting, to ask schools reviews, essays, episode. And it's just a really nice way for students to work individually, but still in the class. And you can see that work individually as well. And you can mark it and comment in real time. And it's just as good for homework as well as so that's everything for peritectoid me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you how to use Google Docs to teach writing as well. I'll see you then.
14. Individual Writing - Google Docs: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm gonna be showing you how to use Google Docs to teach writing and to also practice writing interactively in your lessons. And this is only really useful if you have individual students. You can't really do this with a class full of students because they'll all end up working on the same document. And you don't want that. You want one person to work on one document and you want to be able to see it at the same time. So you can only really use this with warm students at one time, basically. And so I use this when I'm teaching individual students. And let me just share my screen with you and then you can see why can see. So this is an example of a doc that I created a took me like five minutes to create it. And it's an example of a B2C bamboo. Jessie. So I have my essay question at the top here. Do you think that's advertising can have about influence on young people today? And I have what the student needs to write about. So it's important to give us information. We want to buy things we can't afford and narrow an idea. And they built would count them as well. So what I would do is I would share this document. So if I click here, and I would say change to anyone with this link. And then I will click Edit. I'm done. So you would go ahead and copy the link. And then if I just copy that link into here, I go into it with my different email again. Okay, so I can see as the student, I can see that my teacher is there. And if I flip back to my teacher view, I can see that there's a random anonymous Campbell in them. So then what would happen is your student could then write on this document and again, you can see them in real time. So before I show you that, I'll just show you an example of something that I did with my students. So it's the exact same essay. But down here you can see here that this is what my students as written during the lesson. So nowadays, young people are influenced by actors above all, influencer. With stories on Instagram shows a false life, not real life. This essay will discuss about, about influenced on young people. So this person is like intermediate, high, intermediate level. And we worked on this together during the lesson and I could see her writing this. And again, you can see here. And then again at the bottom you can see again that she's right. And again, I did this for homework and she hasn't done. So. I should be getting a little comment for male and Sadat. And so that's an example of what my student roads. And then I'll show you again side-by-side how it will work. So I'm gonna use my extension again to split my screen. Okay, so here's my teacher V on the left, I'm a student view on the right. So again, as a student, if I want to start riots in Kenya, I can say, okay. And again, you can see it on my teacher view that it's updating in real time. So if I was with my student now, I wouldn't even have to share my screen. I could have this on my screen. And then the student would have their own copy on their screen. And they can just write back and forth. And I can give them advice and say, Oh, you've spelled that wrong, or maybe we'd better to plot this. You could use this grammar instead of that grammar. And we'd go through together like that. And so as usual and kind of have the the, the main structure on here. I'm old, I main paragraphs, useful phrases, useful language, stuff like that. I can also make corrections to my students. So if I write on this, my student consuming, right? So for example, I can see down here, give example. My students can see it. Keep examples. So if my student writes something, I can see it. If I write something my students can see and we kind of collaborate on the same document. And it's really useful because it's just such an interactive way to do writing rather than just lecturing students and hoping they reproduce. Like I said, you can only really use this with one person. You could use it as a group activity. You could give this link to, you know, five people, the entire class if you melt it. And they could all work on the same document. But other than that, you would have to make a copy for every student and send it. And then you'd have like 30 tabs open on your, on your desktop. So it wouldn't really work that well. You're better off using one of the other ones that I showed you in the previous lectures. But if you have individual students, this is a really nice way to do interactive. Okay? And that's inputting for Google Docs. So that's how I use Google Docs with individual students to help them to practice writing in the lesson. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you how I use Neapolitan to teach writing specific. Okay, I'll see you then.
15. Individual Writing - Nearpod: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm gonna show you how I used near pod to help my students to write live in classes. So if you want to follow along with me, head on over to your Google slides and just open a blank document and then open your near pod add-on. If you haven't already, make sure to go to add-ons, Get add-ons, and then search for near pod. Install it. So once you have it open, the main thing that I tend to use for individual writing when I'm using near pod. Is the for scroll down here. It's the open-ended question because it allows them to ride however much they like. So if I've already taught specific vocabulary and grammar using a Google slides, I've already created my whole slide and we've been through the grandma bent through the vocab. And I want them to practice literally writing. And I'll just add an open-ended question into the slides. Say for example, we're studying the second conditional Also. I would, right? What would you do if you want at the time? So maybe you can give them like Wolman dental something. They'll two minutes to answer. And then they can write as much or as little as they want that. If you want them to ride like the to Woods Hole 50 words, then just give them a little word counts. If you want them to write more, always ask why. Sorry, I'm twice. Because they might just say biochar, but you didn't. So at the end and then click Save. And then they can answer that question. And then you can go ahead and add like five questions or something to that and then they have to respond. Again. Let's say you'll teaching story writing. You can add in another question. So again, let's say you've been through all the characters, genres, all your different wild woods and everything. And then we can say, kind of write a character description. Again, not the time or if you want. So you'd be adding these into different PowerPoints depending on what is that you'll teaching. And then when you've finished your PowerPoint, go and click, Save and go to Leopold. And it will open. Okay, and let's go live participation than on, I'll show you what it looks like from teachers point of view and a student point of view. So I'm gonna go lie. So again, you can copy this link and send it directly. Can put it on Google classroom. You can put it up for your email however you want. And then this will be my point of view at the moment. And then let's have it to the students point of view. And then let me just split my screening employees so that you can see. Okay, so this is my teacher view and this is my view. So let's put in my name. So you, the student will have to put the name and address, go to join list. Okay, so you got time for this question. And then I have to start the activity is the teacher saga stopped saying, okay, what would you do if you want a million euros and why? So I'm gonna say if 1 million Euros. Okay, there we go. And then I hit Submit. And then on the teaches slide, theta o, you can see the students on so. And if I click on that, I can see a student's answer. Again. If you've got more than one student in the class, you'll have a list of ounces and you can see it. Okay, so you might want to give the mold and a minute, particularly non native speakers taken up be typing quite slow. So give them like five minutes, so something for a long gowns. And then they can answer it. And then you'll go, you'll continue when the donuts and then again, they get an answer right to character description for your store. Okay? And then I hit Submit. And then again on my teacher's page, I can see, I can see the name of the students and then I can see the outside. Okay? And I can also share it with my students. If I hit share, they can kind of see their pronouns so what they've written. And so those, those, those slides would just be added into complete presentations once you've already gone through the grammar, the bow cabin, everything else, then it's time to practice. This is another way that they can practice individually. It's quite fun when you have the time or kids love it when you put the time wrong because they get all excited. They tried to answer as quickly as possible. If you won't want to go a bit slower and to think a bit more about what they're writing, don't have the time. Because then on depression to write too much. But that's all I really use it for in terms of practicing writing. But if you head on over to the next lecture, I'm going to show you how I use near pod to get inspiration for my students for writing. So I'll see you then.
16. Inspiration for Writing - Virtual Fieldtrips : Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to use near pod to give your students a bit of inspiration by taking them on a virtual field trip. Now in this part of the lecture, they're actually going to be writing that just going to be coming up with ideas and inspiration and probably brainstorming some vocabulary at the same time, kind of what can you see? What do you think it sounds like? What you think it feels like. So that just kind of brainstorming for the setting of a story writing really. If you haven't already go to your Google slides and open the iPod. And as you can see here on my screen, I have a template that I've already made myself. This one is quite fun. This is like a random stories, so you don't give them a theme or anything they decided. And the way they decided is that you are then links into the, into the slides using near pod. And then that takes them to a separate website where it will randomly generate characters names for. It will generate a scene, it will generate a small story. So they're going to be added and I'm clicking on them to make their characters. And then after they're going to set to see. So they're gonna go on an adventure or a field trip. You do that is to open your near pod and then click on field trips. When you click on that, it will allow you to search any destination. Ok, so let's say you want to be like in Machu Picchu. Something we could. So we'll go and we'll click and hit done. And then that will add it to see your slides as a Neapolitan add-on. And then when you're done kind of creating your whole slides and stuff, go and click, Save and go to the airport and the novel in near pod or Newton presented. So I'm going to show you what this looks like now from a student's point of view. Okay, so let's go, let's preview it. I'll just show you what it will look like. So this is a preview, so we'll go through characters. Then they'll click here to open the webpage. And that will open this kind of random character generator, which is quite cool. And you can go generate new. And down here they'll have like a whole character generated for them so they can use some, some of the stuff. And then we continue. What is what your character's name, what do they look like? Seemed okay, and here is your v. So what you can do, you can tell the students, okay, you can click on the screen and look down and look up and look around. Okay, what can you see? Oh, there's a woman over there who these people, these are your characters. Like what you think it smells like or can you hear? And obviously they'll have this full screen so it looked really cool. And then they can kind of use that to invent the story. I'm just kind of helps to get them a bit inspired and helps to put them in the plot, all the store. And it just gets them a bit more excited. Kids absolutely loved this. They go crazy for this. So he's might want to put a timer on it because otherwise it'll just be there. So maybe give them five minutes to have a look around, brainstorm some vocab, write some stuff down, and then you can just click on to the next, the next scene. So ask them what genre monster location was the weather like? And then you can continue with your, with your slideshow. So that's just a really nice way to kinda get them a bit inspired and get them thinking about the story and really put them in the store. You can use this for anything really. You can just use this as a break if you like in your lesson. If you've been going quite hard and your lessons and people get a bit bulk down, you can feel it. Okay. Let's go on a little field trip for like five minutes and kind of take them out to the computer. So that's how I use near pod to kind of get my students brains, kinda creative juices flowing. And then after that, I would probably just put in a little open-ended question. They can, right? What did they see? What did they smell? Is just a nice way of getting them involved with. So that's everything for section two. So head on over to section three. And now I'm going to be showing you how I use the different extensions and add-ons for homework and asynchronous classes. So I'll see you then. Bye.
17. Collaborative Writing - Story Boards: Hi everyone and welcome to section three. In this section I'm going to show you how I use different tools and to teach writing in asynchronous classes or for homework as well. And in this lecture, I'm going to show you how I use Google Docs to create storyboards for my students that they can interact with home when they're doing their homework. Or they can do collaboratively with another student outside of the class. And so go ahead and open up Google Docs. And I'll do the same. And as you can see here on my Google Docs, I have a story board that I've made already. So this is something that I did with my student. And you can see down here, these are actually my students responses. I actually did this in a class with an individual student life. So it works if you have just individual students, but if you have a group of students, you won't be able to do this live. You'll have to set this as an assignment for homework. But you can see here. So this was my example response that I wrote for the student. So the student had basic English aim on English. And then over here you can see my student's response. So in the morning, she start with breakfast. Paulson is a bit difficult for an Heckman learner, but eggs after eight o'clock. So we were doing time and we were doing present simple. So this isn't really for a story, it's more just for daily routine, but you can use these storyboards for anything really. And they worked with quite a lot of grammar points as well. This is the kind of finished product. This is what it will look like at the end when your students completed it. And what it originally looked like when I made it look like this. So it was blind. Can it just had one example given by me? If you're wondering how I got these funny pictures, these emojis. If you have bit more Jews work. I do have a video in my other course, Google Suite for online teaching. Again, I'll link that in the document at the end of this course. And you can get a coupon code if you're interested. So this pit Moji is actually supposed to be me. The way it works is you kind of take a selfie and then it creates this digital version of you. So it's quite fun to do with kids because it just makes it a bit more personal for the kids and they can see you and they can even make their own if they want, if they have a phone, they can make their own bitmap Fujian kinda inserted into the document and do it like that. So you can do it two ways. You can either create the document like this, already haven't been emojis and times and different things that you want them to practice in the lesson or for the homework. And then they can just respond down here. So I want to share the doc with them if you go on share. And then he would go on change to anyone with this link. And then make it, make that person an editor. They can do that. And that's if you're in an individual class, if you're not, you would have to make a copy for each. Did. The way you can do that if you have Google classroom, that will be a button in your Google classroom on the assignment and section. Or if you don't have Google classroom, it's very simple. What you can do is you can get this link up here. And all you have to do is delete the word, edit off the end and put coffee. Put the word copy on the end, and then copy and paste that link and give it to the student. And it will fall stand to make a copy of this, they'll just have to click one button and it will force them to make copy. So for example, if I took this now and I put this in now let's just put this in an Incognito link. I'll show you what happens. Ok, so just login with your email and then it will, it will come up like this and you'll be forced to make a copy. You have to click this in order to get the document. So you can do that with any document, any Google Doc, any Google slide. And I think Google just take off the end and not copy and it will force the other person to make a call. Okay, so what you can do, you can give this to if you're in Google Classroom, you can assign this to like five students and they can all work on it together and kind of create their own story by adding in images, by adding intact. And they can kind of build this story together. Or you can give it individually as well. And they can create their own story at home. And then they'll uploaded to the Google classroom, will send it to you. And you can take a look at it. Like I said, if you have individual students, you can also do this live in the classes while, and you'll be able to see them writing, like I showed you in a few lectures ago. You can see people writing on Google, Google Docs interactive lists. So this is my version. What I'm gonna do is I have a blank template here and I'm just going to put this in the extra resources at the end of this call so you can get a copy of this again, you'll be forced to make a copy. And you can have this and you can use to edit it however you like. So I did. You can just insert images and search from web. For example, it's a pumpkin. And then we can just work with some the whereever your image, if your image has a really big, you're going to have to resize them to make them kinda fit the same. Cannot, but it'll just go back. Or you can include your bit node v. So I have a bit Moji extension here, which allows me to insert my own little funny pictures like this. Absolutely. Okay. So you can just insert stuff like that and then insert texts as well if you like. Okay, so that's how I use storyboards with my students for homework and asynchronous classes. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you how to reverse engineer your students writing using at puzzle. I'll see you then.
18. Reverse Engineer Students' Writing: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to reverse engineer your students writing process by using add puzzle. So first of all, what you need to do is you need to correct a piece of your students writing using a Word doc or a Google doc. If you're not sure how to do that, I'm going to show you in the next section, in the grading section. So you can skip on over there now if you want to watch that beforehand, where it can stay here with me now and continue here. So I think those are great. Did a piece of my students writing using Google Doc. And it looks something like this. And what I did, I just highlighted different words using a color key. So I'll tell my student beforehand that green means good. Uh, yellow is a grammar error, and red is a spelling mistake. And then I'll go through and I'll highlight. I won't comment. Don't leave a comment on anything. Just highlight. And then when you're done grading, what you need to do is you have to upload this video to add puzzle. So go ahead and open edX puzzle and then go to My Content. And to upload, just go out content, upload video, and then drag your file here, and then that will upload. And when it's done, go back to your content and you'll be able to see it here. So this was the video that I did. And then click the video on what you're gonna do is you're going to edit this video. So I'm going to click edit. And then wherever you've highlighted something, you're going to add a question. So for example, if I'm just kinda scroll through my video here, let's have a look at what I've highlighted. Highlighted something that it's a bit small, you can't quite see it. But for me I can't. And it says, We are looking forward to meet you R to R Sarah voting. So obviously that's a mistake that needs to be with ING meeting you. So I'm going to add a question and at that point, and I'm going to put drama error. So this is, this is an advanced students. This was for this is for the C1 Cambridge exam. This letter. So obviously you'd have to grade your language depending on water level students. That's writing. So I'll just put drama era, how do you correct it? And then the students can watch it and go. Okay, that should have been ING. And they can write that response in the box. So I'm going to hit Save. And then we're going to continue the video. I'm looking to find something else. Okay. Let's take a look. Qualifier. Scrub along. Okay, I will inform you as good participation. So I can see that the student has made a spelling mistake. So again, open-ended questions. Spelling error. How do you correct it? Kinda hit save. And then you kind of carry on going like that. Now the student, again is high level, so they only tend to make very kind of often complex grammar errors, all kinda silly spelling mistakes. Sometimes they don't tend to miss out like huge chunks of things that they need to do. But if you're just teaching, if you're just starting to teach a specific writing template. So if let's say you are just starting to teach essays and you've told it twice. And then you get an essay back and it's like missing the conclusion. You can write. What are you missing? Oh, you're missing something at the end. And they've all got Cianni to write my conclusion. So it's a good way for them to think about what they've done wrong and what they need to improve rather than just writing. This is wrong, is the correction. This is wrong. Here's the correction. It gets your students to think about their own writing and what they need to improve. So let's go back here. So this student here was written, like it has been said before. Here I've written a comment. You can see that it's too informal. And so again, I can put an open-ended question. How can you make this formal and hit Save? And then just continue going through like that, finding any errors or anything that they're missing an add-in questions. And when you're done, click finish. And then you can assign it. So you can assign it to your Google classroom. You probably won't want to assign it to your Google classroom because you come, unfortunately, you can't actually assign this to launch Student. It goes to the whole class. So it's not great. You're going to have to get a public link and then copy that and send it to the individual students. So I use this quite a bit because I tend to teach more individuals to groups. And obviously if you've got 30 people in a class, you haven't got the time to go through every moms and record it and then also upload it and everything. But if you have someone who's particularly struggling and you need to get them to think about it. Then this is a really good way to kind of reverse engineer that writing process, get them to think about it themselves rather than just shoot, correct? So that's it. That's how I reverse engineer my students writing process using edX puzzle. So join me in the next lecture. I'm going to show you how to reverse engineer your own writing process using edX puzzle in order to teach writing points. Okay, so I'll see you there.
19. Teaching Writing with Edpuzzle: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm gonna show you how to reverse engineer your own writing process in order to teach writing template. So it's gonna be a bit similar to what we did in the last lecture if you sold out. So what you're going to need to do is write either an essay or a review or a letter or whatever it is that you want. You're going to have to write kind of a perfect example of that thing. I mean, you can even copy it from a textbook or something if you wanted to. So you're going to write that to on again a Google Doc or a Word doc. And then you're going to record the screen as you're doing it. If you're not sure how to record your screen and do have a few video tutorials in my other course, the Google Suite for online teaching calls. I'll link that below. And I'll also link a few of the video recording tools that I use as well in the final section of this course and your extra resources. So what you need to do is write a perfect example and record yourself as you're writing it and highlight the important things that you want to. So write it and then go and highlights, like you can see here in the example. And then when you're finished again, go to at puzzle. And we're gonna do the same as what we did in the last lecture. So you're going to add your content, upload video, track it into the wait for it to upload. And then when you're done, go back to your content and go to the video that you just uploaded. And then you're going to edit the video the same way that you did the last time, but this time you're going to edit it with notes. So you can even edit with notes or questions, but if the first time you've ever taught it, you can just write notes. So if we click play here, you can see that I'm writing. And then if we go all the way to the end, you can see I've highlighted different things here. So I'm going to stop at the end of this highlight here. So here I'm teaching an essay to C1 learners. This is my introduction to my essay and you can see that I've highlighted the first line. So if my students don't know what to put in the essay, then I'll add a note here. And just saying kind of first line of the SIR general statements about the topic. And hit Save. If you've already taught them how to do this and they already kind of know what they're doing and you're just doing this to test them, then you can add a question instead. So if I just hit continue and then let's just pause there and then I don't open-ended question. And you can just say, OK, what do you need to put in your essay or wat? What do you write in the first line of your essay? And then they have to think about it, okay, right, I need a general statement about the top. Ok. And then you continue to scrub along again. And you can see that I've highlighted something in green here. So we'll go back here. The green points, ok, this is the second the second line. So again, I don't know. So in the second line, you need to add an example or you need to add something more specific about your question. So a lot to say. And then we'll move on to the Fed line. So there we go. We've highlighted blue solid line, and then I'll add another node. Ok, this essay will discuss, say, what do you write about in your essay? And then you go through like telling them if explaining what they need to do or asking them what they need to do. And then again, when you're done, just hit finish. And then you can assign it to your Google Classroom and they can watch that for homework. Or if you're actually teaching it, they can watch it in an asynchronous licensed as well. And again, it just gets them thinking about what they have to do rather than telling them what they have to do. So it's a bit more kind of critical thinking. How do I have to write this? And it's just a way for them to, again, kind of interact with something when you're not in the lesson. And remember, you can also put voiceovers on this as well. So if you do really want to explain what you're writing and what they need to put you come. You can voice over and then other questions as well. So that's it. That's how I reverse my own writing process in order to teach writing point to my students. So join me in the next lecture where I'm going to show you how you can get your students to work collaboratively, to peer review their own, right. I'll see you there.
20. Peer-Review Writing with Google Docs: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to get students to work collaboratively, to peer review that work. So this can save you a bit of time with marking. And it also helps the students to kind of analyze not only their own writing technique, but also their classmates writing technique as well. And it's just a nice way for them to work together outside of the classroom. So you can set this for homework. You could also set it as part of an asynchronous classes as well. So what you'd have to do is set this in a Google document. So if we look over here, you can see that I have an already marked essay that my student wrote for me. So you can see here that I've added comments are highlighted and things like this. Your students can do the exact same thing. So let's say you set a piece of writing and then your student returns it to you. All you have to do to get your students to work collaboratively is go up to share and then invite particular people to be able to edit this document. So you can just type in the name of which have a student you want to. You can see here that I do already have a student on here. I have myself on, I Have any of the teachers that are collaborating with me as well. So just add those in and make them editors. And then they can go ahead and they can highlight anything or comment on anything that they think should be better. And obviously you can give them a brief and say exactly what they're looking for. So if you're teaching a particular writing point, again, if you want them to concentrate on the patent for it, ING and you'd say, okay, go through and try and find all the ING into forms. What do you need to improve? Ok, today we're working on past tenses. Go through. Can you find any past tenses that don't look right or should be in a different way. And you can have maybe three people collaborating on the same doc to help another student see you that mistakes. Obviously you need to set some ground rules that can't be really mean to each other. They can't say nasty things. Just literally points out that error and say what they need to improve. So you can do this in Google Classroom. You can set it that way, which would be quite easy because you can set it to specific students on the Google classroom. If you're not using Google Classroom, you just have to send them the link individually and they can do it like that. And then when they're done, you can take a look at a dark sea and of what comments that they made. Are they correct for a start, maybe. Correct. Something that is already correct. And then you can go ahead and comment as well. No, actually this is correct or maybe you should have done this. And you can kind of guide them through the process as well. Because you will be on this document and you cannot comment here, as you can see on the right-hand side. And that's, it's really, so it's just a nice way for them to kind of get involved in the writing process outside of the classroom and help each other as well. And it gets them to think about their own writing like, oh, I think I made that, I think go into the same thing in mind. Writing, maybe I shouldn't do that again and stuff like that. Pretty simple. Just get a Word doc, share it with the particular people you need to share it with. And that's another way that they can do this instead if you don't want them to write. Obviously this course is geared towards writing, but another way they can do this is to speak. So they can record videos or voice comments. So if you're familiar with flip grid, I'll link it in the extra resources below. They can use flip group to film little videos of themselves talking about the essay. So they can say all they could have improved this and that. And then send in a video or send it to the person whose essay is. Or they can download voice notes. And they can voice and comment notes. And they can add that. It works on any browser so they can add it into the document as a voice note as well. So that's another way you can do it. But if you want to practice writing than they can write comments and things on and off everything for your peer review, Google Docs. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you how to use our paddock near pod to teach asynchronously. I'll see you then.
21. Peardeck & Nearpod for Homework: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I am going to show you how to use pair deck and near pod in student paced mode so that they can use it on their own for homework or in an asynchronous lessons. So first of all, what you need to do is open up your Google slides. As you can see here, I've got a template already made. So I was teaching formal and informal writing to the students. So I've got my template here and you can see that I've added some different interactive slides using pad. So they can go through I. We also added a little game that will take them so that they can play a little game there. And then eventually they have to write a letter, formal letter. So that's my template. So what you need to do is go ahead to add ons pair deck and then open up pair deck. And when it's open, just click start lesson as you usually would. And when you've started, it will take you here to your teacher dashboard. If you have the premium version, it will take you to your teacher dashboard. And you are able to copy the link. If you're not using Google Classroom, you can just copy this and send it to your students. Or you can share it directly to Google Classroom, which is great. And then once your students have that, they can just copy this link. And then let's go ahead and put this in an Incognito window for so they can just paste that. Again. Make sure if you want and if you don't want them to log in, they can join anonymously or if you do want to login, they'll have to do it with Google accounts. And then they'll be into the, into the presentation and they can control it now. So this is your student view. So they can conflict through like this. Okay? We use formal language when we use informal language when okay, which is informal. So they have to choose a or B. And then up continue. Okay, they can look at that formal and informal writing. Click the link to play. So if I click this as a student, it's going to open this game in a new window for me. And then I can play this game on my own. And then I can kind of move around. And again, it kind of gets me thinking in English student. Okay, and they can go through and then submit their answers. And then they'll go back to the slide and will continue. So an example of a letter. And then OK, now I have to write my address in here. So I can say my full name. And then I can put my address. Okay. And then they just keep going like this and then go through until they've finished. So there'll be using this EVA full di homework either for an asynchronous. So that's why it looks like from a student's point of view. If we go back to the teacher dashboard over here, and I go to my teacher dashboard, I can actually see all my students responses here. So you can see the students. And then I can go down and I can see their response. And if I keep going down, I can see that they've recent hear who they are the moment it says bird because I logged in anonymously. But if you get them to login with a Google account, you'll see that name there as well. And again, you can kind of call men to leave feedback, give them a star, whatever you need to do. Okay, so that's how they would use that asynchronously so you can just create a class. So that's pad, pad. Ok, now we're going to take a look at Near pot. So open up your iPod account and login. So I showed you how to use near pod in another lecture, a few lectures ago. If you've not watch that, go back and watch it now, will go back and watch the tutorial. So you'll need to create a Google Slides Template and then saved art in near pod. And then when you're ready to use it, go to your near pod accounts. And then again, let's see here we got random story. So let's, I'm teaching story telling. And we're gonna go student pace again. So when you go and student paced, it will send you a link. Again, if you want to require students submissions, you can, but you don't have to. And then just send them that link. And then again, let's put this link in an Incognito window. So this is a good idea for you as well if you want to see how the students are going to see near pod when they're on their own. This is a good idea for you as well. So we'll put it in here. Okay, so I'm just gonna put my name during the lesson. And then this is made. So again, I'm a student now and I can completely control this how I live. So I can kind of flick through my career. I can click here. So this has taken me to another web page. And this is great because instead of taking you out of NIH support so that you have to go back and fold. This takes you directly to the webpage, but in near pot. So I can kind of generate my my character here. Click Continue, counters, what do they look like? And then we go on our virtual, kinda like I showed you before. And then we'll flick on. And that's it. That's how you use paddock and near pod in student paced mode for asynchronous classes on homework. So that's the end of Section to join me in section three where I'm going to show you how to grade writing using some different extensions and tools for Google Docs. I'll see you, right.
22. Stopping Copy & Paste : Hi everyone, welcome back. So we're intersection for now, this is your grading section. So in this section I'm going to show you how I grade different writings using different extensions and tools. And in this lecture I'm going to show you an extension cold draft. So Dropbox is great for catching students who've been cheating on their writing. It dip in copy and pasting information, and it helps you to find plagiarism as well. So go ahead and download the draft back. It looks like this. So just search it any way you would any other extension, just search Dropbox extension and then hit Install. And it will download and install. And when you have it, it's gonna look like this one here with the dy on it. So this opens in Google Docs. So I'm going to show you what it does. So here's an example of a Google doc that I worked on with students. So I wrote most of this document and then my student contributed here. And so I'm looking at these bits specifically to see if my student has cheated or if they have written it properly themselves. First of all, it looks like the Britain it themselves because it's not in perfect English anyway. But if I just wanted to check, what I'd have to do is just click this button up here. So if you have dropped back activated as soon as you open a Google Doc, draft back will open as well. And this is great because your students don't need draft back for this to work. So you need it, but your students don't. And anytime your students edit a document that you give them, It will track the changes to the document. And you can literally watch in real time as they write. So if I hit this now and click plays stored revisions, it's gonna play me, my student writing basically. So he go, this is my student writing. So you can tell that they've not copied and pasted because it's taking them on YL and they're making mistakes. So I know that my student has written this. Also, if you look up here to documents and graphs and statistics, it shows you when most of it was written and keeps you with data. Gives you to document length. And it also gives you who who edited the document. So this is me when I made the document and then this is my chute. And so if your students is logged in into their Google account, you'll be able to see their name. But I gave this to my students anonymously, so it just has a number. And so this is also good for collaborative work as well. So if you're giving this document for five students to collaborate on, and maybe only one of them does most of the work. You'll be able to see it because you can see how many revisions that person has made. So for example, if this was one student made nine revisions, great. Whereas this student here has made 533. So you know, they've done most of the work and you can give most of the credit to the students. So it's really good for checking if they cheated into copied and pasted. First of all, I'll show you an example of something that is copied and pasted. So here is an essay. And if I click here and I play back this, you'll be able to see, okay, they've not cheated here. That's great. That writing normally. That's fine. I'm boom, there you go. You get a ton of text straightaway. So if I replay that again. So if I play that again, if I rewind it, you can see here all of a sudden it disappeared. Is.5 fine, fine, fine, fine. On all of a sudden it appears. So I know the student has cheated. So that's dropped by. Basically just helps you to check if your students are actually doing the right thing rather than copy and pasting things. And you can use it for collaborative writing as well to see who has made the most effort was made that stuff. So go ahead and download dots on just make your life a little easier. And I'll see you in the next lecture what I'm going to show you how to grade writing using Google Docs. I'll see you then. Bye.
23. Grading with Google Docs: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to grade piece of writing using Google Docs. So you can do this even just in the Google Docs app, or you can do it on Google Classroom as well. So first of all, let me show you what a piece of writing looks like when it's marked. So if we look over here, you can see that I've already marked this piece of writing. So you can see that it's got highlights on it. And I've got comments by the side here. I've also got to words that have been crossed out and are in red. I've got different colors, so I, usually I have green for something good, yellow for our grammar era, and read for spelling error. A set that's what it'll look like when it's kinda done. When you first get the document, it's gonna look like this. It will be completely blank. And so if you're not using Google Classroom, yo just going to have to create a blank document for your students. And you're gonna put them as an editor on that document. So the way to do that is just open up your Google Docs on. You're going to add clicked on, create a blank document and click blank. And then always gives you a doctor name just to keep yourself organized. So I'm just gonna say S a dummy for now. And then you're going to go over to. So at the moment it's private only I can see this only I can view this. Okay, and then I'm gonna change this to change anyone with link. And I'm going to go on. And then I can just send that link to whoever I want. Or what you can do is you can add a person in particular that eat one. Okay? And then once your students that they can then edit this document and you'll be able to see everything they've edit. Once they're done and you have the, the essay back, what you need to do is mark it. So you've got your basic tools. So up here you have your highlights a tool. So any mistakes that you see you can highlight. So let's take a look here. Ok, so for example here, we don't need this article here. So you can either highlight that in red to say it's a mistake, or you can do is you can cross it out by using shift five. So that will a strikethrough. If you didn't like you using the shortcut. So you're gonna have to go to Format and then text and strikethrough. It's a bit of a pain. So I just tend to use the shortcuts to highlight some things. Just highlight whatever it is you want and click the highlight tool and then you can have different colors. For water, you need to highlight it go. And then generally when there's a mistake and I need to explain it, I will add a comment to that mistake. So for example, let's take this here again. The travel, so I'd say, okay, and then the student will be able to see all of these comments aside. So that's it. That's how I basically mark things using Google Docs. If you all using, if you are using Google Classroom, you can do this directly in the classroom as well. So for example, if I go to my Google Classroom now, this is an example of something I've already marked. Again, it's the same essay. So if I wanted to mock, this, will appear like this. All I'd have to do is go open with Google Docs and that would open it here. And then again, I can just add it to like I just have. And all of those edits will then appear. And you'll Google Classroom. And then you can give it a mock aside and not to comment as you usually in Google Classroom. Okay, and that's everything. That's all I do. Some mock in Google Docs. When I'm finished, I just send it back to the students either the link, the student will have it in their Google Drive anyway, as soon as you share it with your student, it will go directly in Google Drive. And so David send it to them or I would just return it on Google Classroom. And that's it. That's everything. So join me in the next lecture, what I'm going to be showing you a grading extension called County. I'll see you then. Bye.
24. Grading with Kami: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I'm going to show you a grading tool that you can use to annotate and make a video comments and voice comments on your student's writing. So this tool you can either use in Google Classroom or you can use it with your Google Drive. But you have to be able to make either a PDF or a Word document into an internet documents. So you need to upload it to your Google drive, so it's on the internet and that you can open it in a browser because this is going to be a Google extension called Comi that we're working with. So in order to work with it, your documents need to be on your browser, ideally in your Google drive or on Google Classroom. So I'm going to show you how come it works. So first of all, go to the Chrome webstore and get the coming extension. It will look like this. Click install as you would, and then it will download automatically. And then when you have it installed, if you scroll down, it will be here with the k. Remember to activate an extension, it needs to be colored and to discern activate, it would be great. So once you've got it installed, like I said, you can either do this on Google Classroom or Google Drive. So for example, if I'm in my Google Classroom and I have a document that I want to mark. This is already marked in Google Docs anyway, but I'm just going to show you for an example. So if this was blank, I would have to go over here and you have this k here. So make sure you click that. And also make sure you click grade with Comi. If you don't click this, the the grading will not save everything that you put on. It won't serve. So you need to click grade with coming. And then we'll open it into your county extension. Basically, it will open it within your Google Classroom. So if you're not using Google Classroom, you can skip ahead to the Google Drive bet. But if you are using Google Classroom, stay with me and I'll explain it to you. So let me just get our toolbar other way there. Now you can see here I've already kind of highlighted some stuff. And at the side, we've got a comment. We've also got a video comment here. I'll just play this quickly. Okay, so that's a video comment that I laughed about this word here. The spelling mistake that my student made. So if I, if I just, if you look here when I kind of scrub over the video, you can see that that word turns blue. If you keep your eye on this word here, when I go like this word tuns blue. So the student will know that that word is incorrect. Appear as well. I've also added just a normal comment here. Social research, researchers uncountable. And if you look on the left here, you've got all of your tools. You've got tons of tools much more than just Google Docs playing Google Docs. So you've got all your regular tools like Google Docs or strikethrough underline highlighting tools. The commenting tools are fantastic. If I show you here, you can either use text comments like I have over here. So the way you do that is that you just highlight. And then it will come up here and you can just type in the box. You can also leave a video comments. So just click on the video Comment button and then highlight whatever you need. So here, for example, you're going to have to do this quick because the video stops as soon as you highlight the word, so you have to be quite quick off the market, so I'll highlight this. Ok, this is a spelling error. You need to use an M instead of an n. Its comfort not com foot. Click done. And then let's play it black. So they show video, comment really simple. You can also leave voice comments as well. So just exactly the same as your video comment, click and then highlight. And make sure that your permissions are set correctly. You need to give Google Classroom and access to your microphone on your camera and older to leave these. So if you go up here, it says this page is accessing your camera and your microphone. You need to make sure that you allow this rather than Lockett's, because otherwise you won't be able to do it. This is great. It's also got a dictionary tool that you can use. So if I click on dictionary and then I highlight the word growth, for example, it comes up with your, IT comes up with the, the meaning of the words. So this is Grace for English language learners because you can, you don't even have to use this for grading. You can just give this on a normal PDF. And if students have this extension, they can go through the pdf and kind of highlight any words they don't know, and then they can learn them as they're reading. So it's good for reading as well. So you've got your dictionary tool, you have text-to-speech options. So again, let me just highlight something like this. For example. Customer, thicker. So your students can hear the pronunciation is not great because it's a bit robotic, but still they can hear it. So this is a really nice way to grade. Just a bit more interactively. Your students can hear your voice. They can see you if you leave it. Video comments as well. The students can also comment on here as well. They can write to reply. And so this is really good for PDF and it's really good for Word docs. So if your student gives you a Word doc that you can't really grade virtually, Then you can trust, transform it into Akami document, make sure your student house Comi downloaded as well. And then they'll be able to see all your comments. And so this is in Google classroom. If you don't have Google Classroom and you just want to do it normally, you'll need to document into your Google Drive. So if I go back here, so this is my Google Drive. Take any documents that you need, any PDF or a Word doc, and drag it into your Peter Drucker into your Google Drive. So this is the document I took here and just drag it in. And then it will upload here. So-called version two here. And you can see it in my Google Drive. And if you click on it, it will open like this. And then to open cameo, just go on Open With and annotate with Carmen. And it will take you directly into the comedy window again and you can annotate it. So these are all the comments that I already plugged before. But again, if you want to add anything else you can any video comments or voice comments or anything like that. And that's it. That's how you use K-mean Google classroom or in your Google Drive. So it's just a really nice way of interactively mocking your students work. And you can also use this in lessons as well, who feel like your students can. Again, they can comment on each other's work if they have it all. So it's great really, and it's completely free. I do have the Premium version and the premium version just give two text to speech. I think it gives you a dictionary and a signature, and maybe add media as well. So here you can kinda put in Google image searches and YouTube things and little stickers and things like that. That's the only difference really between premium and free. And that's it. That's how you use coming into grade written assignments. So join me in the next lecture where I'll be showing you another great tool that you can use to grade your students work. I'll see you then.
25. Grading with Kaizena: Hi everyone, welcome back. In this lecture, I am going to show you another grading tool called kaizen. And Kaizen is really good if you're grading writing for exams or if you have a really strict marking criteria that you have to keep two, you can actually create marking criteria rubrics in Kaizen and then put them on the document for your students. So chi center is actually an add-on for Google slides and Google Docs. So I tend to use it in Google Docs when I marking essays and things like that. So go ahead and search for it. It looks like this. This is the web app because you also have an application as well that you can use. Or if you're in a Google Doc, go to the right-hand side and go get add-ons. And then you just have to search for kites and sort of come up there and then go ahead and install it there. And then when you have it, go to add-ons and then open up the Kaizen and it will open on the right-hand side here. Okay, so we've got kinda opened up here. So on the right you can see that I can leave voice messages truck a skill. I can even attach a lesson. This is a really nice thing that Kaizen or does that you can't actually do with the others. So I've got voice message so I can leave a voice comment on here. I can track a skill. So these skills are things that you add to your kind Center webpage. So if I click that now, go and track a skill. You can see here that I have different skills. So at the moment I'm grading does c1 essay for Cambridge. So this is my c one marking criteria. I've got communicative achievement content organization, a language. Spelling is an extra warm ironed it. So if I want, for example, if they've made a spelling error, let's see here for example, I can highlight out at spelling and sleep. Click select. And then you can give it a level from one to two to five or whatever level that you set. So I'll just post on there. And then you can see it's highlighted here. So let me just show you how to make these skills. So if I go to skills and then click Manage skills in dashboard, and it will bring you to your cousin a dash. Okay, so here's my dashboard here. And again you can see these are my skills language, organization content. So all you have to do is click new skill. At new skill. Give it a name. So let's say, let's say your marking grammars. And then you can give your, your skill different levels. So we've got 12345. So you can kind of remove a level if you don't want sets as well. So I'll just give it out. And then I'll hit save. And that's the so then when you go back to the documents that they've made a grammar error, you can give them a mark for grammar and click off that there. So if we go back and then I go back to my skills. You can see that my grandma skill has been added here, and I can just go ahead and give them different grades like grandma. So again, let's see here we've got fascinated, so that's obviously a spelling error. So I'm gonna go for my skill. Felling, like get them. And you can also color coordinate this as well. So let's have a look for a grammar error or something. Okay, transport. So let's go for my skill. So this is a language era. And I'll give it a three and then may be, it can be yellow and then go on post. You can also see here I have a description of the marking criteria as well. So you can add that in when you're creating your skills and your dashboard, you can add in the criteria they need to get the maximum score. So another thing that I said that Casella does is that you can add lessons in here. This is a c1 essay. So let's say that's my, let's say that my student hasn't written a very good introduction. Their introductions fine, but let's just say they haven't. So I'm just gonna copy this. And then I'm gonna go on lessons. And I already have here how to write an introduction. So I'm going to select that. And then you can see here there's a YouTube link. And if I click that link, it will take you to a YouTube video about the difference between style and formality and how to write an introduction for C. So this is really good if you have big classes and you don't want to continuously put the same comments and kind of remind them of the same things. You can create a lesson instead. The way you do this is in your dashboard here. So if we go up here to lessons, you can see here I've got one for how to write an introduction, a warm for informal. So if you just click New lesson. And again, let's say I'll just kind of re, kind of duplicate one of these. So let's go introduction. So all I need to do to add my last name, if I want to put a YouTube Lincoln or a video or something, I just need to put it in this comment here. So I can just put a comment like needs improvement or someplace. And then underneath just add the link that you want. The students who watch the video, for example. Or it could be an article or any useful information. Just add the link there and then hit post. And this is my lesson. So I'm just gonna hit save. And we call that the introduction. So let's go back to my dock again. And I'm gonna get rid of that. Let's see if I can add that back in. So if I go to my lessons, should be that introduction. They go click select needs improvement. And they have a link there that can take them to the introduction video. So that's something really nice that the other grading tools I've showed you don't do come, he doesn't do this. And you can't really do this on Google Docs either. I mean, you could comment with a link, but it's not that great here. They can actually see it. So it's just a kind of more comprehensive way for your students to see different vice and lessons. And just like we have a grading tool, so I've shown you, you can also leave a text message. So I can just write something like grapes introduction. And you can also leave a voice message as well. So you'd click that and then you would record using your microphone. Okay, that's it. So it's a bit different from the only real advantages that you can add lessons in there. And it's a lot more organized, especially if you go bigger groups. You can have your specific rubrics with your lessons and your skills. And it's a lot easier to organize rather than kind of having to repeat yourself again and again, you can just click a button and it will appear on your student's grades. And the only problem is with this is that it does not integrate with Google Classroom. So you would have to open any Google Classroom dogs in Google Docs. And then your students would also need the kinds of an art as well. So that's the only kind of problem that you might have with us. But other than that, it's quite useful. So that's all for your gradient tools for now. So join me in the next section where I'll be giving you some extra resources and extra two, full teaching writing online. I'll see you then. Bye.
