Christy McLeod: And everybody still see the screen. Okay, Christy McLeod: Kate: Christy McLeod: Ok, So this is our first session of Ee tech tool time. So, hopefully, we’ll offer more of these sessions where we sort of highlight water tool, one or two Christy McLeod: learned teaching and learning tech tools. Today we’re going to focus on hypothesis and flip Christy McLeod: um both kind of different tools, but um really exciting and helpful to use in in their own right. We’re going to talk about the different uses for your course Christy McLeod: how to use these in Carmen, Christy McLeod: and then we Christy McLeod: resources to kind of get you started, so we’ll have links in that Carmen course, so that you can come back to it on your own time and and kind of delve deeper into that Christy McLeod: so flip or formally known as flipgrid. They just changed their name, I’d say within the last year. Flip is just a It’s a video discussion tool. Christy McLeod: Um, If you think about discussion boards in Carmen, this would sort of be a replacement for that or a substitution substitution for that. Um. It can also be used in a variety of other ways. We’ll discuss those Um, it’s an asynchronous tool, Christy McLeod: and you can either direct your students to the flip platform from a link, or you can embed the actual tool within a Carmen page or an assignment, Christy McLeod: and then hypothesis they I don’t even know if I Oh, I think I spelled it wrong here, but it’s they have a little dot is, but it’s a social annotation tool. Christy McLeod: Um, and it’s it can be used asynchronously. That’s the primary way that it’s intended, although you could use it in a synchronous session with a small group. In fact, we’re going to do that today, and this tool is integrated into Carmen here at the college level. So this is one of these tools. That’s um Christy McLeod: we have here at, eh? Not every place that Osu has it. But this is sort of for us. We We have a Christy McLeod: have that available to us, Christy McLeod: and i’ll put this slide up um at the end of our session. But if you are in one of these departments. We’ve got listed your instructional designer and their contact information on here. Christy McLeod: Okay. So i’m going to stop sharing that for a moment and Christy McLeod: go back to Christy McLeod: We’ll get that close down here. Christy McLeod: No more. Powerpoint and i’m just going to move our course Christy McLeod: up here and start sharing again. Christy McLeod: Okay, so. Um hopefully. You can all see the Carmen course, Christy McLeod: eh? E tech tools should be the first module good, Christy McLeod: and you’re welcome to follow along in your own version, or just watch, and then you can take a look at it later. Whatever is convenient for you. Christy McLeod: So Christy McLeod: just an overview of Osu’s tech tools, Christy McLeod: there is a central um place called the Teaching and Learning Resource Center, and that that’s a good place to go. It’s one of those spots that you may want to bookmark um, and it lists the various instructional tools that have been embedded, licensed in some cases are supported by Ohio state. Christy McLeod: Um. They have the standard. Here we’re going to just take a quick look at it here. So this is what it looks like. If you haven’t been here before, like I said, This is a great place to bookmark. Christy McLeod: Um, in here you’re going to find the main tool sets that that are used university-wide, including carbon canvas things like top hat are found here as well. Recently Christy McLeod: the site added a um additional tools Christy McLeod: list, which is a great listing of all the different tools that are available here at Osu. Not every tool is available to every department or every college, but it’s a great place to start. So if you’re looking for a tool, or have heard of one, you know, or want to know more. Christy McLeod: Yeah, this is a great, you know, a great web page to take a look at. Christy McLeod: And this is where you’ll find flip and hypothesis in this tool set as well, Christy McLeod: he’s. Christy McLeod: So yeah. So for this session it’s not really a course, but for best practices purposes we’re gonna We have a couple of learning objectives. So the Christy McLeod: the focus here will be to introduce. Ah, you to, eh? E? And Osu approved teaching and learning tech tools. Ah, give you an opportunity to test. Drive these in the carbon canvas environment, and then give you more information or show you, you know, resources to, you know, to further learn about these these tools. Christy McLeod: So we’re going to get started with Flip. So flip is a discussion, a video discussion tool that that instructors can use to create visual discussions and reflections within the classroom. Students can learn from each other. It’s really fun and engaging. Christy McLeod: You can also use for office hours study groups, brainstorming that type of thing. Christy McLeod: But, like I said, it basically, takes the place of a Carmen discussion. Post it. It’s It’s kind of you know. It’s a lot more exciting and engaging. Um. I have a couple of informational videos here. I’m just gonna play this one. It’s a very short um. Let’s see if I can make it big enough to get get started on flipgrid in three easy steps, step one, join the discussion, use the join link, or enter the join code that was shared by your educator. So to record a video with your response to the problem. Use any of the flipping camera tools and feel free to get creative explore. How fun be yourself. Yeah, Even like that. Then step three. Take a selfie and submit your video. That’s it. It’s that easy to complete an assignment in foot grid. Now watch the comments in your classmates videos. Come in and the discussions take off. Let’s start learning together. Christy McLeod: Get started on flipgrid in three easy steps. Christy McLeod: So yeah, So just a little, just a little previous to what? What? That you know. Funnel looks like. It’s just a really fun engaging tool to post discussions in. Christy McLeod: If you want to come back here later on, take a look. This is a little getting started for instructors, but I won’t. I won’t play that right. Now I am going to follow this link here. These are different ways that you can use. Flip um, just some different ideas, one hundred and one, Christy McLeod: you know. I immediately think about introductions in a course, but there are lots of other ways that you can also use it. So you might want to take a look at this link and see if you can get some good ideas from there, Christy McLeod: what is a standalone product? It’s not integrated into Carmen, so in order to use it, you will have to sign up for a flip account. The terminology they use for an instructor would be the lead account Christy McLeod: I’ve got directions on here on how to create your account how to create your group. Christy McLeod: In this case a group would refer to your class primarily, Christy McLeod: and then also how to share your group. But why don’t. We just go right in, and i’ll show you. I’ve already set up an account so it won’t show you the steps, but pretty straightforward, and you can come back here and follow along to set up your own account. Christy McLeod: So this is the main page you log in up here. Christy McLeod: We always want to log in through Microsoft, and that’ll take us through our Osu Christy McLeod: again. Christy McLeod: It’s got a duel. Oh, okay, It’s gonna get through it quick. Christy McLeod: And please um! Christy McLeod: If anybody has any questions Don’t hesitate to, you know, interrupt. This is a pretty informal setting. So if you’ve got some questions, or if i’m Christy McLeod: step, you know going over something that’s not clear. Just please let me know. So when you log in you’ll be taken to your dashboard in flip um the first time you log in. You won’t have any of this? Because obviously you’re just creating your account. But one of the first things that you’re going to want to do is create your group. Christy McLeod: You can see in here. I have three different groups that are already set up The Christy McLeod: This one is from a previous class. This one here is for this current class, and then I have just sort of a testing group up here. Christy McLeod: Um! Before we Christy McLeod: look into these groups i’ll just go through the steps for creating it. Christy McLeod: So click, create group, And then you want to choose classroom. Now, if you create the wrong type of group here, you really can’t change it. Um, I think you know, for most all of us, we’re going to pick classroom if we’re using it for um instructional purposes, Christy McLeod: and then you can select the University level. Christy McLeod: So now you’ve got your template here. We can name our group. I’m gonna just Christy McLeod: very creative name here. Christy McLeod: And if you want to you can, It’ll default to a a picture or a theme. You can hit, pet it, and then give you a bunch of different choices you can put in. I’ll do a surfing one just for fun. Christy McLeod: And then right here is where you figure out. You determine. You know how you want to share the link. If you choose anyone with the link, then it’s just what it says. Anybody who gets this link can get into your um um um! We recommend that you go through the only people you approve. Christy McLeod: Now the process for approving folks. They would follow the link or the join code, Christy McLeod: and then try to log in, and then you get notified that somebody wants to join. I mean, if you’re trying to do that for a whole class. That’s you know. That’s not very practical. Um. So what you would want to do prior to sending the join code would be to add your students to the group, and you can do this here. Christy McLeod: They give you a template and instructions on how to upload it, just using the students emails. Christy McLeod: So once you have that done? Then I would, you know, share your your join code or your link. Christy McLeod: So we’re just going to hit. Create? Well, i’m just going to use anyone with a link in case we want to try this out. Christy McLeod: So we’re going to create our group Christy McLeod: There’s also A. Qr. Code that you can use to share with folks. If you want to download that Christy McLeod: copy, the link is probably the easiest it Christy McLeod: you can also embed. Get the embedded code, which is something that we will be using in our Carmen course here as an option share on teams share and remind Christy McLeod: post to Twitter. Um. Christy McLeod: So yeah, so we’ve got our group set up, and Christy McLeod: again this is, you know I would probably name it. Something like you said something to do with your class. You know your class, name and number, and maybe the semester that makes it, you know, a lot more recognizable to students when they do log in. So they kind of know they’re in the right spot, Christy McLeod: and then you can add a topic. It defaults. It gives you a general topic. Just so you get an idea on what it looks like. And then, if you ever want to see what the students are seeing, you can just think of the members. Those are your students. You can get the member view Christy McLeod: and they get a more simplified view over here. Christy McLeod: See if I can get back to Yeah. Okay. So Here’s Here’s the instructor. View the Christy McLeod: it’s. Christy McLeod: You can go right in here and edit the topic. Christy McLeod: So right here might be where you would put your discussion question. We can do like introductions. Christy McLeod: I’m. Christy McLeod: It’s tough. Christy McLeod: You can set the recording time, you know It’s pretty adjustable here, and then, if you want to add a fun Christy McLeod: gift, delete this one and that gives you different options. You can bring an image in. You can do your own video here. You know something fun, Christy McLeod: you know lots of different options here, Christy McLeod: and then save it. Christy McLeod: So I’ve taken the whole picture out. So it’s really boring. But Christy McLeod: you get the idea, and then your members see Christy McLeod: this, Christy McLeod: and then this is where they’re going to go. Christy McLeod: Excuse my view. I’m looking at the monitor above. So so it looks pretty bad. So Christy McLeod: you have the option of a bunch of different backdrops that you can add in here Christy McLeod: takes a minute here. My Internet. Connection is not the best. Christy McLeod: There we go. Christy McLeod: Um. So lots of different choices here Christy McLeod: and then over here on the right hand side Christy McLeod: that you have text you can add in Christy McLeod: he’s. Christy McLeod: You have a drawing tool stickers, all kinds of fun stuff. How a gift! Christy McLeod: And put a frame around it! Christy McLeod: It’s a Christy McLeod: You can see. This is, you know, a lot more exciting than your typical Discussion Board. Christy McLeod: One other feature on here and again, the idea of this is to be a social interactive tool. So Christy McLeod: you know, you may not want to offer this option, but there is the option for Mike only. So if you don’t want to record, you know your a video you can just record. Do a voice recording um, And then we have, like the mirror Option allows us to switch perspectives. Christy McLeod: We can also screen record from here. Christy McLeod: So lots of different things we can do. We can add a little Christy McLeod: sticking out. Christy McLeod: Best way to, you know, is just to get in here and start kind of playing around and creating videos. So when you’re ready to record you, Christy McLeod: we just hit this you get about a three-second Christy McLeod: warning, and then you start recording Christy McLeod: um. I have way. Too many recorded videos myself with this. So Christy McLeod: but when you’re done, you just hit stop, Christy McLeod: and then, if you don’t like it, you’ve got a little retake button over here. Christy McLeod: Oh, one other thing up here in the top corner. If you drop this down. It’ll give you the instructions. So let’s say you’re using this to with a discussion. Prompt students can come over here and drop this down. So they’re reminded of the prom fifty. Christy McLeod: So I don’t have to open a second window and try and remember what were all those questions you know. So that’s kind of a nice nice feature there, Christy McLeod: and then you get next Christy McLeod: morning, and then you Christy McLeod: you get a chance to trim or head in your video. With this you can add some music, but when you’re done you just hit. Stop. You don’t need to hear me warning. I’m in there. You can add some music. Christy McLeod: They’ve got some that are already available. I imagine you could probably upload your own to um, Christy McLeod: and then, if you want to add in captions or links, you don’t like the cover photo they have chosen for you. You can get in, and you know, kind of like the live photos, and I enter your iphone. You can get in there and pick a different one, and then you post it to the topic. Christy McLeod: It posts fairly quickly. Sometimes Christy McLeod: it’ll say something like this. Christy McLeod: I usually don’t exit. I usually just um. Wait a minute, um, Christy McLeod: and you know. But I guess I guess it’s. Okay. There it goes. Yeah, I was gonna say, there’s always just a little bit of a pause there. Christy McLeod: Okay. So it’s very exciting. And then, if you want to share your response or your video or create a link. You can do that here. Christy McLeod: And now, if we go back to the topic. Um, Christy McLeod: all right. I got a live in this? Well, I guess not. I Won’t do this right now. But you go back to the topic. You can see the response here Christy McLeod: and then morning, and then you start. Then, if I want to respond to one of my classmates posts, I can get in here, and you know, Watch that video and then leave a comment. I can also record a video comment. Christy McLeod: So it just really gives a lot of interactivity with that. Christy McLeod: Does anybody have any questions on that? Or is there anything that wasn’t uh Christy McLeod: clear, Maggie Spangler: or the Kristy or the um? Maggie Spangler: The videos that you showed earlier Maggie Spangler: instructional enough in nature for students who aren’t very comfortable with technology, all of those options that you showed us. I know I have several students who would be extremely lost Maggie Spangler: among those options. So I was just wondering if the instructional videos walk through any of that, Or is it expected that students would get in there and kind of play around with? Christy McLeod: Yeah, I I think that the platform is set up to do just that to get in there and play around and pull around. You can delete your videos, you know. So if they don’t like it, or if they haven’t, you know, done there’s lots of chances to um to delete them. Maggie Spangler: They do have some good resources on the flip website, too. So okay, you know, I know, like Maggie Spangler: the one I. The one I posted is just a real brief introduction. There’s, more, you know. Step-by-step instructions in there as well. That might be helpful. Yeah. Christy McLeod: And then one other thing I wanted to mention right now the default for how these videos are viewed with the group Christy McLeod: active. So you know again, that’s the intent of the platform is to be an interactive space. However, you can use it differently. So if you wanted to use this as a video response to an assignment to a prompt Christy McLeod: um, you know, just like a one on one. So you post questions. You have um students. Watch a video that you’ve added to this, and then you want them to answer a series of questions, but you want them, you know it’s individual sort of assignment. Then you can actually make it hidden, Christy McLeod: which only you and your you know, the the person posting the video and the instructors would see the response. Christy McLeod: Um! And then there is another option, not sure where you get to it right here. You can also moderate. So basically you have to look at the videos before Christy McLeod: they post. So a student would go through the process of submitting in the normal way, but instead of just being immediately visible, you know you have a a little bit of gatekeeping that you can do um if you need to, or if you want to do that, Christy McLeod: let me see if I can get to some of those Christy McLeod: I I seem to be testing out the limits of my Internet a little bit here. Christy McLeod: But yeah, there’s a whole getting started section in here. There’s a lot of a lot of good resources, Christy McLeod: and we can actually in this in this um website that we have are in this common course that we have for you, that you’re you’re um part of um, you know we can go ahead and build out some more resources. So if you want some more student help videos, we can definitely do that as well, it’s. Christy McLeod: So Yeah, So that’s that is, Flip. Let me go back. Um Christy McLeod: again. This is a little step by step on how to get started. And these images right here. This is basically what a student would see. Christy McLeod: You know, they would join here, select their school account, go through the Osu login, Christy McLeod: and in this case we had it selected as as to join, so they would send a request. But if they are already entered in the group, then they should immediately, you know. Get to that group dashboard? Christy McLeod: Um: Okay, Christy McLeod: yeah, here are these: Actually, these resources are more for you as an instructor. These are kind of shortcuts. These all go back to the flip website, Christy McLeod: but I tried to put the ones in here that I thought were most um relevant for you as instructors. We can also add some some things in here that are for students as well. Christy McLeod: So right here is it just an example of a flip assignment? I have a couple of these listed in the modules because Flip is not integrated into canvas. You’re not going to get, Christy McLeod: You know, the the use of speed, grader or automatic grading. Um. But when you do create an assignment in canvas you are creating that in your gradebook. So you have a column for for the assignment, and the way that we set it up here Christy McLeod: is um Christy McLeod: as a no submission type. Christy McLeod: Um that way, Students, you know, don’t get confused. All they have to do is follow the instructions in the assignment prompt which just tells them to go to this link, which is the flip. One assignment click the add response, Christy McLeod: record their response, and then respond to one of their classmates posts. And so that’s that’s all they’re going to see in here. Christy McLeod: So if I go to the student, you Christy McLeod: That’s it. There’s no submit to canvas. Submit here. Everything is done in here, Christy McLeod: so you, as an instructor. You would have to go to your flip dashboard and using that, there’s a method to export the data so that you can get a spreadsheet that gives you. You know the number of responses. So once the assignment is complete, you would take that, and then just go into your great book and add manually added the points. Christy McLeod: So Yeah. Christy McLeod: Unfortunately, when it’s not integrated in the canvas, that’s really all we can do with that type of thing. Christy McLeod: You you can ask students to, Christy McLeod: you know, to submit a link. Copy the link that they Christy McLeod: sorry. I didn’t mean to get back to that copy the link that they Christy McLeod: from their flip video from their flip response. Um, but you know it’s that can be a little bit of a nuisance, but that would put it in the speed greater where you could review it there. So that just kind of depends on your your preference for that, Christy McLeod: and we go. I have another. So this is just using Christy McLeod: link to get to the flip. You could also put the join code in here as well. So Christy McLeod: actually, I think the joint code is just for the group itself. The other option is to embed Christy McLeod: the flip Christy McLeod: sort of mini dashboard in here. Um, Christy McLeod: you know It’s not as big of a screen. They have to scroll through it. But, on the other hand, it’s right here, you know. So it’s just kind of personal preference. But one other thing. You can Christy McLeod: go in here and view it in um website, and that’s viewed in the dashboard. So Christy McLeod: um Christy McLeod: I meant to say, let’s see Christy McLeod: you can view it in this dark mode, so it kind of makes it. I’m gonna go back out and see if it’ll reset it for me. Christy McLeod: Yeah, it’s dark mode, so Christy McLeod: gives it a little more contrast here, you know it’s a little easier to to see. But Christy McLeod: so in this case, Christy McLeod: you know, this is an assignment, and this is the prompt. Christy McLeod: And then I can get this Christy McLeod: drop down here. That reminds me of the prompt um. Christy McLeod: But I mean, basically you’re just hitting record. You don’t have to add any of the bells and whistles on there. But but you can, you know, if you want to. So, Christy McLeod: generally speaking, like best practices, and I have some in here, too, that you know, if you want to explore, the Christy McLeod: good thing to do would be to create your own response, so that students have a reference point, you know, so they can see what yours looks like. Christy McLeod: Just an example. Christy McLeod: So this, so that that that assignment was, and and I’ve listed here. What I did just copy a link open and an external tool, no submission option. And then this one is is an embedded link. Christy McLeod: Um, No submission. Christy McLeod: Um, this assignment here Christy McLeod: that’s the other thing this right here I was able to share. Did they have sort of a sharing? So if there’s an assignment that you Christy McLeod: that you like the setup of, or some kind of prompt you can. You can use theirs, and then edit it, you know, to suit your needs. Christy McLeod: But if you do end up having it moderated or hidden, you’ll see that right there at the top. Christy McLeod: Um, here Christy McLeod: your group name will be here. Christy McLeod: And then Christy McLeod: in this case we’ve got this whole Ted Talk, and the instructions to the student are to watch this and then respond to these prompts. Here. Christy McLeod: You are also able to add attachments here, you know, and additional videos you. Christy McLeod: And then down here you can see Christy McLeod: you know these These were some of my responses. I did these just as Christy McLeod: audio. And then here’s my response, my video response. Christy McLeod: And then, if there were any comments, you would see them down here as well. Christy McLeod: So there’s just a lot of opportunity for interactivity, and Christy McLeod: you know, really just depending on how you want to use it. Um! Christy McLeod: Then you can even do it as a quiz. So in this case Christy McLeod: I Christy McLeod: I did it, using the um essay option. Christy McLeod: So again, it’s. It’s going to create that column in your grade book, but you’ll have to go in and and manually um manually grade it so. Um! And in this case, though you students will hit submit because Christy McLeod: the question, Christy McLeod: the flip and you know platform is just right within in question One And so and then I can’t submit. Quiz: Christy McLeod: Yeah, it Just it just really depends. You can, you know, set it up whatever way makes the most sense for you. Christy McLeod: So let me go back here. See if there was anything else on Flip, I think that’s really it on Flip. How are we doing on time, Kenny? Are we? Now? We’re about a little bit more than the half hour, Mark. But Christy McLeod: first time I went through it it was about forty five minutes, so i’m doing a little bit better. Does anybody have any questions on Flip? Jihyeon Choi: Oh, yes, they go over. Jihyeon Choi: Ah, yeah, I I have a question. Jihyeon Choi: So Ah, as I told you, I think many students are really good at like technologies, and I found that like benefit of Flip is to you know you can make the video more engaging and creative and fancy. Jihyeon Choi: So I was wondering if there are any ways that we can download the creative video? Or and my next question is, How long does the video stay in the flip side. Is it like forever, or for a certain period of time? Christy McLeod: I I know, I mean, I know that in my account mine’s been in there, you know, over a year. I don’t know what the long-term you know storage is for that Christy McLeod: I am fairly certain that you can, Christy McLeod: you know. So so like, if you wanted to. So are you asking like whether you can like upload a video to to flip or Christy McLeod: just work on it? Christy McLeod: Um. Christy McLeod: Here, let me go to this one here. So Christy McLeod: so so when you get tuned and see what what options we have, you can upload a clip. Yeah. So if you had a video that you made prior to this, you can upload it right here. Christy McLeod: I don’t know if it gives you the option, too. Christy McLeod: Edit anything once you’ve uploaded it, that that yeah, I haven’t actually tried that. But that would be something you could get in an experiment to see if you can add any of those features to it. Christy McLeod: I don’t think i’m thinking you probably can’t. Jihyeon Choi: But you may be able to add things like the you know the external things like a sticky note, and that that type of thing. Yeah. So maybe I needed to clarify and clarify my question. So yeah, Jihyeon Choi: Oh, yes, my question was that so? After you create your video in Flip, and can we download the file? Oh, Gotcha! Gotcha, Christy McLeod: I think so. Let me um Christy McLeod: right here Christy McLeod: download video so you can download you can, you know, edit your captions, download your captions and then download the video as well. Christy McLeod: Yeah, and then save it. It downloads as an Mp. For. Christy McLeod: And so you know, we’ll move it up here. So doesn’t want to move for me. Christy McLeod: But yeah, it’s Um: yeah, Looks like you can. Christy McLeod: Does that? Does that answer the question more or less? Jihyeon Choi: Yeah, it’s perfect. Thank you. Katie O’Keefe: In response to how long the videos stay inflated. Um! What i’m finding is that they stay ah permanently as long as you have a sign in. But i’m not sure if this is the most Katie O’Keefe: up-to-date information because it keeps calling it flipgrid instead of flip. So i’m going to keep looking and and let you know. Yeah, Christy McLeod: yeah, that change was within the year, I think actually the change to flip was fairly recent. So some of their resources still refer to things that’s flipgrid, and there are some slight changes. I’ve noticed, you know, in some of their instructions, Christy McLeod: and that’s you know, and that’s the thing with any of these tech tools. I mean. I I have instructions, you know, written here on how to create your account, but, to be honest, you know it’s It’s always best to kind of just link Christy McLeod: to the the actual product site, because they do make a lot of changes. So so i’m trying to add in resources that just go, you know, right to their site here, Christy McLeod: so I mean they have a pretty extensive help center, you know, and lots of different options. I think the blog is Christy McLeod: kind of a neat place to go. You get a lot of different ideas and articles on how people are using these. Christy McLeod: And then I want to say Christy McLeod: um, you know. Obviously, Christy McLeod: there’s different levels that they’re they’re doing it. I’m trying to figure out where I think it might be under discovery. Um, you know where you can actually use the shells from other folks in their topics, you know, and copying it over into into your own groups, you know, and kind of adapt it for them, but they have a really, Christy McLeod: you know, robust site, with lots and lots of different uh Christy McLeod: resources on here. Christy McLeod: Um, since we’re, you know, about halfway through. I thought we’d go ahead and take a quick five minute break, just in case folks need to get a cup of coffee or something, So um. I’m going to stop sharing here for a minute, and just put us on pause, and then Christy McLeod: we’ll meet back here in about five minutes.
