99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hello and welcome to In the Classroom
an educational podcast

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
making teaching and learning
more transparent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My name is Benjamin Steward.
Today is August 22nd 2020

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I wanted to put together some ideas
about what I'm thinking as we get into

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the fall 2020 semester, 
and I want to share with you a video,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
audio explanation of some 
of the technologies that I am going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be presenting to my learners, 
the first day of class this Monday August 24th.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Before I get into that, I'm going to go
and share my screen

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and open up Microsoft Teams,
which is the platform I'm using,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to conduct this podcast 
and I want to go into a little bit first,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about this space, this Microsoft Teams
that I have created,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's called, In the Classroom, as you know
and you probably will notice

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you go through prior posts
that I've posted a lot of short videos,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
short explanations., a lot of information
has come and gone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and basically just trying to experiment
a little bit with Microsoft Teams,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to see exactly, to what degree
I can use this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or some of the information that I share,
in my class, in my preparation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in my own reflections.
And I'm going to be posting more

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the future, in terms of sharing
some of the thought processes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that have been going through,
in my own practice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, I think that, the idea here for me
to create the sapces to offer a way

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to share with some of the professors
here at the university,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since this is a Microsoft Teams,
it's part of our Office,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or Microsoft 365 Service.
But, also know that, the information

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I'm sharing,
is also being posted publicly,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
via my YouTube channel.
So I'm currently sharing and basically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
publishing this in real time,
through my YouTube channel

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this uncut version will include
all the mistakes and errors

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I both check during this broadcast
and correct on the spot.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And others that I will miss.
So if you're watching this recording

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and what to provide information
or corrections, feel free to do so.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And obviously, those professors
that are teaching here at the university,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and want to reach out to me
and share something, whether it is part

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of this broadcast or if its of a more
private nature, feel free

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to reach out to me.
I think the best way is just to send

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
me messages via Chat, 
within Microsoft teams

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since I'm going to be spending most of my
time both in my class,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and other responsibilities
that I'm currently taking part in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will be spending most of my time 
within this platform.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the main things
that I have been thinking about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as I get into this semester,
is how I will be interacting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with the students that I have,
is trying to simplify, trying to find

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the technologies that are currently
available to us and really find ways,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for students to take advantage of these
same technologies that we have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here at the university.
Primarily Office 365.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, most of what we do here is going to be
basically, using Office 365

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or Microsoft 365 and also any apps
that are easily adapted

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and can be easily integrated
into the same platform.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I will get into the details here
in a moment. But again,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you have any feedback about today's
broadcast, feel free to respond

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
within this post. I will be posting
the video recording of this in Stream,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and will also be sharing it in this space .
So feel free to reach out to me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you have any questions, or comments,
or insights about this topic.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, feel free to share this space
with any of your colleagues

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as this again, is intended to
really extend the dialogue

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of how we can integrate English 
into the classroom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
i've had the pleasure of working with
many professors here at the university,


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking about different ways
that we can integrate English

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
into our curriculum.
So, the idea here is to think about ways

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that we can, not only adapt
our own teaching practice

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but also maybe reach out to our Academy
and our colleagues within

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
our own departments to see to what degree
English can be brought into the curriculum

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in terms of the syllabus,
in terms of the actual written curriculum.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To what degree does that need
to be made explicit,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and how can we work together as an Academy
to reach that objective.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Every department and every Major
is going to be different, in terms of,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to what degree and how important English
might be to their curriculum.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it's going to be very much dependent
on the goals of the program,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the goals of the teachers, the students,
the student profile,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the history with English,
and really, at the end of the day,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the importance of being able to
communicate in English,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as your students get into the workforce.
So a lot of considerations,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a lot of variables, a lot of things to talk about
and to think about, and again,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is one of the purposes of having these spaces,
to having this conversation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Again, whether you choose to have it here,
in this space or more privately within

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your own colleagues and department.
So, what I'd like to do today is,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to share with you, some ideas 
that I had about the technologies

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I'm going to be currently using
with my students this fall semester 2020.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now the course I'm going to be teaching,
Listening and Speaking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is a communicative class,
basically helping on focusing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
English language learners at an A1 to A2
English proficiency level, become better

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at both listening and speaking.
And so, I'm going to share with you today

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some of the technologies that I am going
to plan on using and I'm going to begin

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by speaking to my students. Right.
So I'm creating this Podcast

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and its going to be a recorded version
of what I'm saying here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, I'm going to go back and actually 
edit the video and remove all the mistakes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and clean it up a little bit so I can present 
this same video to my students.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I'm going to be addressing my students 
in this portion of the video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with this intention, with this idea
of being able to have this available

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to them, so they not only have access 
to the video at the beginning of the class,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but so they can refer back to it
as they progress throughout the semester.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this is the context with which
I am creating today's episode,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and again, if you have any insights,
feel free to let me know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Right, so I'm going to go ahead
and change here, the team.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this is the team I'm going to be using
for my course. All right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, let's dive into it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For those of you who are taking
Listening, Speaking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I want to spend a few minutes talking
about some of the technologies

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about some of the technologies
we're going to be using this semester,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and so, I want to present some
of the technologies we are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be using from day one.
We will be talking about these

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the live classes as well but I think
it's a good idea to have this video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so you can refer back to it 
whenever you need to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's common for many students to feel
overwhelmed as we get into

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this semester, as we begin the semester
thinking about some of the technologies

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
maybe some of these you're familiar with,
maybe some of these are new.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In this particular case, this course,
Listening and Speaking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is also the first course
of the semester. So there may be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a lot of new things going on
we're going to be teaching this semester,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
teaching and learning, as far as we know,
100% online, so this also might

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pose some additional challenges,
or some new ways of interacting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the main thing is that you don't feel
overwhelmed, I don't want

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you to feel overwhelmed with all 
of the technologies because really

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the intention is to use these tools,
to make our interactions

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and our learning experience this semester,
as productive and efficient as possible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't worry if all of these technologies
are not really clear on how we are

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
going to be using it from the beginning,
as we get into it and as we start

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
working with these technologies
on nearly a daily basis,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think it will become easier, 
and clearer for you as to not only,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how we are using it, but why
we are using these technologies.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the first technology that I want 
to talk about here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this is really the main space 
that we are going to be working at.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is going to be our home for
pretty much for the rest of the course ,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the 16 weeks that we are going to have
for this course, Listening and Speaking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams
is part of the Microsoft Suite and,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm going to go and open up here,
the main page to Microsoft 365.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, sometimes I will refer to this page
as Office 365 and sometimes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will refer to it as Microsoft 365.
They are currently going through

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a name change and they are going to be
changing this eventually to Microsoft 365,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up here in the title. But again,
if I go back and forth its basically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the same page.
But, as students of this university,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are going to have access 
to all of these apps as they appear here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are additional apps if you click 
here. there may be some additional apps

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you may be interested in.
Certainly, we are not going to talk about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all of these and we are not going to be 
using all of these apps in our class

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this semester. But you might find that 
other courses you are taking this semester

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you might be using some of these apps
more than others.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, the first thing I want to talk about 
is Microsoft Teams, you can find

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Microsoft Teams here, but I have found
that depending on the browser,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you may or may not be able to open
that Microsoft Teams using this link.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Most of the other apps, you can click
on these icons here to open up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the service directly without a problem.
But Microsoft Teams,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it seems, it is best to install an app.
Now, I'm on a computer here, at this time,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm on a computer, 
and we will be switching back and forth

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between showing you apps on a cellphone
versus showing you apps on the desktop

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
computer but today I'm going to stick to
mainly apps on the desktop computer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, here you see that this is Onedrive,
we will be using Onedrive a liitle bit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in our class this semester but I think
it's good to become familiar with this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so you can begin saving some of the work
that you do in the BA program.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Setting it up, in Onedrive, so you can
save some of the files you create.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really important to find a system
for organizing your ideas.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I particularly like to have a folder
set up for each letter,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and keep most of my course content
within one of those folders.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As you see here, 
there are some exceptions,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but for the most part, most of my files,
reside in one of these folders.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the key here is to find a system
that works for you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Find a way to organize your content,
your assets here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you're going to be using throughout
your time here, in the Major.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another important app here is Outlook,
so any of the information that I share

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here with you is, you know, if I send 
you an email, I'm going to be using

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your Office365 email account.
So your email is going to be AL and then

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your Student ID@ [inaudible].
So this is going to be your email

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this is where you can access
the incoming emails that are sent to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from other teachers or other students
or classmates.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I'm not going to go into all of these
but you also see here, you have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
You have OneNote.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But let's get into Teams. Teams is going
to be our main space for the class

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and as you notice here, I have the app
installed on my computer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, again, I would recommend
that you do this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm currently running a Linux machine,
but its the same idea,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you're on a Windows or Mac.
When you go into Microsoft teams

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because all of you have been added
to this team, you will have here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let me move this, lets see if I 
can move this. Whoops. Try again.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not able to move this for some reason.
but, here you will will see that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
i'm going to go to all my teams right.
So you'll have here a team called

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Listening and Speaking, right.
So if you go into your team,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll notice, just beneath the title,
Listening and Speaking,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you have two channels.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, you have a channel called General
and then you have a link,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it says Hidden Channels.
We will go into these different groups,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or these different channels
a bit later as we get into the class.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For now we're going to stick with this 
channel, general channel

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and, we will look across the top here,
you'll see Posts, Files and so on,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
different options. So Post, is basically a
forum where I can make announcements

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can send you messages and you can reply.
The main thing to consider when you're using

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this section, Post, is that everyone
in the team, all of you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that have been added to this team,
can see the messages.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, so don't share anything, in this space
that you're not comfortable

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with anyone else in the class seeing.
So, if it's something private,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you want to send me
or any of your classmates

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a private message, the best thing to do
is to go to Chat and send the person

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a one to one chat. So, this is very much
like an E-Mail service,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you want to send me a private message
you can send it through Chat.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I suggest that everyone do that.
I would ask that you send me messages

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
via chat, as I'm going to be spending 
most of my day, in this space,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you're likely to get a faster reply
if you send me a message via Chat.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All right, so here in Post, you can send,
as well as in Chat, you can send

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
text messages, you can upload images, 
video, you can embed YouTube video.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are many different options here.
You can send attachments, emojis,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
okay, you can actually upload 
streamed videos as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, many different options,
many different ways you can share

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
information here in this Post section.
Here in Files, Files, these are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be files and folders that we are going
to use for the purposes of this class.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We will go into that later. 
But, for the most part, any files

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you share here, everyone can see.
If you post a file or if you attach a file

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here, then Post it will also appear here
in Files. Right, so its important to note

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that the files that appear here different
from the files and folders that you create

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in your OneDrive. This is basically using 
SharePoint. Sharepoint is the global space,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the global drive, 
of the entire institution.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, it resides there, it does not reside
again in your private space

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
within OneDrive. So Class Notebook,
Assignments and Grades,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're not going to use.
When I created this team,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I created it as a class and by default
it included Class Notebook,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is OneNote, Assignments and Grades.
We're going to use other services

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
instead of using these three. So again,
I was not able to remove these

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that's why they appear, but again
just ignore these three,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we are not going to be using these three
parts of the service.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are going to be using FlipGrid, Wake up,
and we will talk a little about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Video Archive. So FlipGrid is an app
that you can add and integrate into

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Microsoft 365. And that's what I've done
here with Microsoft Teams,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is basically just added the FlipGrid 
and whats good about FlipGrid

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is because FlipGrid is owned by Microsoft
you can use your University email

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as your username and use the same password
as you use for Microsoft 365.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that is what I would recommend doing.
The topic here, let me go to the page,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so this is the Group and FlipGrid
and within Group we are going to have many

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
topics and the topics really basically are
going to be different assignments that we

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are going to be using the service.
But agin, use your Microsofr 365 username,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your Email and your password to enter
into FlipGrid. That is going to be the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
easiest way to do this. The first day 
of class, we are going to be working

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in this first topic and I will
go into the details here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The main thing here is that, FlipGrid,
this service, you can access this oviously

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with your browser as it appears here 
and also you can access FlipGrid

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
directly within Microsoft Teams,
as it appears, here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The final thin I will say, is, I think 
it is going to be the best if you install

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
FlipGrid on your cellphone or mobile 
device because probably most

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the recordings that you create, 
its best to do it on your cellphone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I want to limit today's discussion
primarily to the Desktop but you'll want

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to install FlipGrid on your cellphone 
and go ahead and enter in to FlipGrid

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from your phone, using your Microsoft 365
signing in information.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your username and password. Okay,
so this is FlipGrid. The next thing here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is ClickUp. Now ClickUp is a way to
organize information and they way that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am going to use ClickUp, again this is 
an integration with Microsoft Teams,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They way that I am going to use ClickUp 
is so that everything that we do,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the activities that we do, you can follow
what we do, what we're planning

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on doing in the future and what we've done
in the past, using ClickUp.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, you will notice her, this is going 
to be a little bit confusing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you're not familiar with ClickUp, 
but basically, what ClickUp is, is a way

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to organize tasks, and, along the top
here there are many different types

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of views. I think the easiest view, 
getting started, with ClickUp

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is going to be the Calendar view.
Because from here, you will be able to see

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on a day to day basis, what we are doing.
So here we have a calendar view

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where we are looking at the monthly view.
Probably, I could change this to the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
weekly view to get a better idea here
of what we are doing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, her you will see August 24th,
You'll notice we have two different

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
entries. These are two different tasks
that we have scheduled for Monday.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if you click on these, this will open
up the task and you will be able to see

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in greater detail, what each task entails.
In this case I have a checklist of things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we are going to be doing.
It is called orientation and this is how

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I typically begin a class and begin a 
semester.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You will notice here we have a list of 
all the things we are going to accomplish

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that first day. And this is something
you can refer to just to have an idea

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about what we are doing.
So this is how I'm going to be using

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ClickUp to schedule, what we are doing
and what we are going to do in the future.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you go into your mobile app
you will be able to see a calendar view

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of this same information. Obviously
as we get into the class there are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be ore tasks that are going to be
populated throughout here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The intention with ClickUp is 
for you to see what we are doing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and if there are any assignments,
those are going to be listed very clearly

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here. For example, our first assignment
, we will open up this, Introductions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is going to be our first assignment.
you will see here, that we had

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the instructions, and then you will have
link to the assignment itself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We will talk more about this the first
day of class and we will actually do this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in class so that I will be able to assist 
you if you have any questions about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how to do it. But what I want to show 
you here is, everything that we are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be doing, whether its for a grade 
or not, all of the tasks that are related

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to this class, can be found here in
ClickUp. You can access it here in the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
browser as I have done here, you can 
access it in Microsoft Teams,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as I have done here by clicking ClickUp,
here at the top.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes you have to scroll down because
it may not show up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can change the view as well,
as I am doing here, just to make

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it a little bit easier to read, if you
want to just deal on a week to week basis

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can change the view by clicking
this drop down menu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Finally, you can install ClickUp 
on your phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its a little bit easier to follow 
as well, there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Depends on what kind of phone you have
and how many apps you want to install.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For sure, I would install Microsoft Teams,
if you have space and you want to also

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
upload FlipGrid. I think this is going 
to be very useful, so that you can record

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the assignments, using your phone.
And ClickUp would be another app.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I would install. on your phone.
Some of the other services I talked about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
earlier, under Microsoft 365, Outlook,
OneDrive, even Microsoft Word,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you might also want to install some of 
these apps. Especially OneDrive

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you are going to be using your phone
to upload audio and video.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then, you are also going to want
to install on your phone OneDrive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will create a separate video later to 
describe and show you what that looks like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on your phone, but those are some other 
apps that you might find useful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The last thing I want to talk about today,
is TeacherEase. Now today,, again today is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
August 22nd, 2020, I invited everyone
to get into TeacherEase. I basically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
created a class grade book
for the semester

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and all of you should have received,
in your Microsoft 365 email account,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an invitation to TeacherEase.
If you did not receive this email,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
let me know right away so that i can 
resend the invitation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But here iw where you will be able
to access your grandes and your attendance

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for this class.. Its very important that 
you are checking at least once a week,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you are aware of your current grade
and that you're aware of your absences.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this is the service I am going 
to be using to maintain your grades

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and your attendance, but do make sure that
you are checking each week.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't wait until the end of the semester
where its going to be too late to go back

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and check grades for the entire semester.
Be checking continually throughout so that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can send me emails and ask me 
questions, if you have any doubts

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or concerns or even even if I have made
some mistake with your grades

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or attendance, so that we can resolve
those issues in a timely fashion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Right. So, TeacherEase. We have FlipGrid,
we have ClickUp. Okay. Again, these are

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
going to be our main technologies we are
going to be using in addition to,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
obviously, Microsoft Teams. Now, the last 
thing I talked about here, is a view,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its called VideoArchive. Every class
that we have, in fact, this class

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is scheduled to meet from 8 in the
morning, until 10,.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are going to meet every day, Monday
to Friday. During that time we are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to have a live class. All of the classes
are going to be recorded and all of those

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
recordings are going to be, in this space,
this video archive. Right so, in YouTube

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can access it directly through
