yeah I can do that so well, everyone I am married. I am presenting here with a doctor Oviedo everybody so our topics today what we're talking about is LA and go through are norms today would be respectful of time our agenda will start with a community Builder we will talk about the benefits of teach you how to create an account and some of the features and benefits and we'll have some time for this so can just go to quickly if we evolved on a share whether we are North side or South side Southside for life Southside Southside outside here where are you what happened okay so do you want to start here so intense areas it has literally resources literally for almost any topic you type in their levels current event article so their articles that were actually published in professional magazines or newspapers Newsela staff changes the reading level so some of the Articles go as low as second grade and then they go all the way up to 12th grade and we'll talk about leveling late some articles are available and then it is that is readily available so the pictures to show the range of literal call Dad the Holocaust anything you type it in and shoot the number of Articles will pop up features that I like about it is that it allows for annotation of each article includes Sports quizzes and and editable but if you want to edit something that you're teaching structure wise than you can easily do so some articles include which is nice and then there's a so as you'll see it says all skills those are the skills that are covered so of course in any content Area recovery skills as you're signing articles say you're working on central idea for that unit then you can choose articles that that cover central idea so that you'll be able to figure this so this is your teacher dream that you'll see you can see by the blue or the aqua Arrow you can monitor the kids so that you're assigning it during class time you can see how what the students are doing so this first student was on there for 1 minute so I I would be like to get back on there or she the next student receive 34-28 show sport that means that they put in for a notation that'll tell you if they've completed the quiz so if your work if you're assigning a new zla during class time you can see what they're doing if you look at the purple Arrow it's very easy to put it in present mode so if you want to Model A notation so you want a model bunch of students questions wrong in the quiz you can put it in you can share it with you could print the article so say some students to work online order or they get buried I need a print version so it has a lot of nice features the Green Arrow shows the reading levels so what's nice about this and very useful Any teacher is that the Lexile of the article can change so they're still getting the same content they're just at their reading level which is fantastic for a student go to 12th grade on this one the lowest this article is 560, then go all the way to a second grader so it's a penny when you set your features there are some where you can assign an article say the first day of the beginning of the school year were they can't change it and I'm going to set it up wait just to see how they do write a base point for me as a teacher in September I can do that when I'm setting my features but you can also knocks at the future so that they can maneuver with stay read several articles the system will automatically put it in their own grade level which is really important because sometimes they'll just start reading and answering the question without looking at the beginning it's going to be too important to double-check its you know perfectly fine and important. to let them know if you know your style is 565-6175 or better. crustaceans red arrow okay go back one on the red arrow you can see us so who won the mean like ninth grade eighth-grader and so on ninth grade and I can share with you a document that shows a lexile to grade level equivalent 7 and I don't necessarily it doesn't matter second grade level 560 I want to see if it's around for 4th grade so yeah it'll just depend all of articles. what time do gold over so in the beginning of the year like I said you couldn't say okay everybody's going to do this one 790 just to see how they do or at the lowest level just to see how they do just so you can kind of have a Baseline and then the red arrow shows the activities for this particular reading do all of the readings have the right which is they write a paragraph or an essay if you have been writing essay quiz question quiz some of the Articles of power words witches vocabulary vocabulary vocabulary in the text you'll see that later on and it's ideas for additional so I just wanted to know like I said in the beginning or for now I just want to highlight some other things kids can do Google through it so you can actually play with in the beginning of the year special do soccer lessons where students can come important ideas on the right side and then you as the teacher can can coming back to them so I really like that feature because you know is if they were and was hitting in the textbook a lot of times they don't have that opportunity or even like an English class so this allows you to do that and then we talked about like this student at the top and rotated everything and some are for because it's an important so maybe because it when they're annotating different and you can sign them like I only want you to annotate today for connections or I want you to annotate decide what you want depending on what you're teaching if I have a question for that we can go back and forth on this and this song assignment if we wanted to who sang He's a great student so he definitely he does a lot but he also takes up once you get to know your students maybe for him in particular I would have signed him maybe one article while other students might get to I would never assigned to it one day it does take a bow. Article 2 quiz and the writing in the world. The sum of our students the quiz and vocab show like this so I want as soon as the student finishes the quiz it's going to get on their feet what their score was as soon as they finish their vocabulary is very nice the right I edited writing prompt because the writing prompts range from what's the author's purpose so if you were really focused on working on a then you are going to want to edit the prom so that the skill is the same especially if you're doing transport so what I circled in my writing prompt what are usually put because I used to gather data for it and most of my students and I also added what the expectation is you know kind of has a reminder unfortunately it doesn't let you do list by list that would be easier it kind of just lost everything together into one paragraph So they responded sure their score Sims 4 scores are only 1 2 3 and 4 and then decide by yourself what you want 1 2 3 and 4 to me but the system automatic they basically said something about the you know to is they were on topic a part of a question like they're rubric is extremely simple you would make it what you whatever you want to do for your classroom teaching automatically the writing you do have to score what is score in you can also in Fort Collins if you're quoting make sure you put that in I'm so whatever comment you want to make you can also be in addition to the score that you provide them you can also ask them to resubmit you know they put I don't know or something instead of scoring and you can send it back to them for Mission the quiz you can reset the score so say the student at 50% or end and that would be your choice stablish those rules are presets with the students early on because sometimes though want you to constantly be sensible just get the first time and then want you to receptors their quiz and then this is what the data looks like when they get it with what they see on there I'm sorry will we see an RN and they also see the grass and their scores on Dara so the student and I should have said it from September when I snap a screenshot but I didn't so this is showing April and May for some reason this particular on the top rap they took a bunch of our they did a bunch of assignments because another teacher is also using it and sold their graph is going to show all assignments that they do and they didn't realize that they didn't have to make up all of the assignments if you missed for March to like I just wanted students to start like you got your computer or you know were able to start just start that unfortunate for her because she ended up doing a lot of work you know went back and so that's why you see a bunch of green dots for her scores on the bottom is for your class when you click on your class if there are multiple classes if you click on a class this is what you see so you see the article they read their score what what you put in as far as their Ravens score and then the red yellow and green dots show there's for that skill so going back to the list of skills that we talked about earlier shows how they're doing so number for this shooting at the top overall she needs a lot of support in in the first goal which is it's not meaning I can't think of it off of that so those are correlate to the skills and then if you see him looking at we're looking at the bottom picture so that for each article it'll tell you what they had difficulty on and then degree is what they did very well and then sometimes they're there will be yellows so if you look at the next really should have mentioned these are two different students that's why top where does 5.5 9 is their overall reading level of the articles that they read it'll tell you how many that I don't like that number because it's not how many they actually read a complete it it's how many that they open them looked at the sometimes don't look at an article at the 5th grade love are the numbers  is not the phone number so far. shows that are similar to another average quiz so as a teacher it's really nice to get this information because you're able to ride away share with you know whoever is writing that I did to you or if you're right it would some fuel strain Star Wars some still weaknesses are with her average score is so I always provide this information to teachers when they're right do you want to use it for their goal and then some started to open a separate window I'm going to newsela.com if you can join now if you haven't joined yet because it's right now it's free. when school starts in new and if you want to keep your membership you're going to want to speak to mr. with an R I can't remember which assistant principal was in charge of ordering who's the assistant principal charge of History Department you'll have to want him no because the school is paying for our subscriptions I have my subscription a long time I haven't had a problem with it anyone can join for free you can print articles for free but it's not going to collect the data for free you have to have the Prime Membership or though I forgot what they call it you have to have the remember ship if you want if you want to be able to collect the data and ferocity all teachers that's going to be important Sean for you is really nice because if you want to assign you're able to do that because when you search you can search whatever sport you're teaching at at that moment and a bunch of Articles will come up and then you can easily assign it so if everybody go to study once you login login login with Google and then your knee your initials will be Circle and you're going to go to study saw your profile is there your account is there classes so to create a class if you go down when you see seams classes mine is gray yours should be blue as you login with Google super simple cuz you just click on sync classes you press the button and now all of your students are going to pop into those classes because when I sign in my CPA is my Gmail but not my Google password so mine isn't seemed but it's very easy to I'll show you how to create a class if so to create a class if you didn't sign in with Google clip-on creative class and then you add your number so we can call this practice to click your grade level then your subject area and then I'm the elementary content filter is if you're an elementary school teacher some of the content they send it it's it's reality right these are articles that are public and so sometimes they can be pretty heavy social emotional and so if you don't want any of those types of art for your students that you would like in high school and when you yeah so we'll see how it is practice to all the way across if you click on the three dots you can add students you just copy that link and if you have a joint easiest way more simple than this way is to just click in classes if you signed in with Google Google what's your classes will automatically be there cuz I want to show you how to assign an article a topic that you're working on currently so I'm doing a nutrition so then when she pops a nutrition a bunch of Articles come up so as you scroll down right she could scroll scroll find something that matches or a she or something that's stop students will be interested in and then you can click more and more even more and more and more articles will come out I'm so this article as you can see on top is also available in mesh so the student is better at reading Spanish the lifestyle she can change depending on students I really like this because it seems like all the students have the same article even though they're at different levels you know having discussions about these articles like for me I teach English I use it so when I do my mental health unit all my articles are based on those articles that I assign are based on the article let's go to a sign before I go to the options. you select your class so go to practice to oh that's okay and then you can type in your instructions oh yeah so pick it up cuz I have a kid in there sounds of kids in my on my caseload that are not in my classes and if I don't have any data for them come with me so you can put up any kind of message you on what directions you can put what your expectation is for a notation and kind of common instructions if you want you don't have to you just click on a sign I'm going to sign into him it won't matter so so she just dropped if you look at this one if you look at articles can I go to prison but I see stop can you guys see my screen ACNL stop and start again sorry guys I really like new zla I used it in an instructional setting and I also use when I got them started at the beginning of the year it really gave me a good bass line where most students were at and then once they were familiar with it they were able to successfully login can you see my screen now it seems like it yeah I think this is your screen okay all right the filters you can switch alter so you can see so I'm going to put this school year I'm so so when you assign something this is how you see it so I assigned something on 511 15 of my 24 students to find something on porch did it when I sign something at February 28th at 24 did and in January 20th 24th so if this is a very fast way to see who did what so I'm going to click on this latest one is dying so when you click on it and scroll down here able to see right away who did what how they scored the students who did the writing you know you can see that I answered their scores and rotation Annabelle is the only person who did annotations and some students didn't didn't open it up so you can see here have two accounts because one of them is open with Google Tasks type in their own login and password so you can easily delete the the wrong one from your file I think I got it but it's nice that you get the information right away so turning right you know right this is a nice way to capture everything really quickly and when you assign it you can a sign it into their Google classroom and it'll allow you to do it so let me go back so if I wanted to wish my draft I'm getting feedback I don't know where that that is I'm trying to go back to the article that has it all of the grace that died in the draft well go back and show you guys how to do it from Google weather so activities so what I really like learning and this is I'm actually going to give you all your items that information because I can see some students might do it after the due date I got to go back and you can see right away so I haven't scored this one she still in blue so this is just a real quick do you know who you still need to talk to you if they have any particular assignment the reading summary is also very nice because again that's a place to gather so mystudent in particular she is in 3 classes or she's also the vi program she's in is also using news Ela so it'll show choose your own article or I'll be a little more specific shoes searching there typing in mental health and then they can choose their own article what I found is that they do much better on articles that they choose for themselves as I find it very interesting so when I'm doing I do make sure that I look at to look at their independent reading articles because if you can see here and I are almost the same average article level but she's for she has scored a 52 overall with my class but then she's done 75% so I make sure when I'm giving that data that I'm not saying she's going to hear you know which this should give you the correct overall but I always do getting a particular cuz sometimes they just have one that's like a 25 and if you don't want that in their average you can delete it so it's just up to you like maybe they've done very very well I just had want that score so you can say hey do you want to retake it or don't find out what the deal is I'm also know that students can find these articles and answers on the internet just like just everything so just make sure that they're not popping in and out of 200 so I don't think some of them I know when I told her students that they figured it out really quick so I think that's those are the main things I wanted to talk about so I don't know if you have any questions or want to do some searches Sissy to see how you can use it in your class does anybody have any questions at this point no no questions I was just kind of curious I was assumed that the didn't enjoy using this and you do it about once a week or how do you structure it I used to do once every other week because gather more true data okay matches what I say I'm doing in the IEP but it just depends you know sometimes things are sometimes a student you might have signed it in the student but I want to do it every other week and then if another teachers using it that's in the same grade level altering it that would be very nice be so much more data the students like The articles that they can choose 1 * when we were depending on the the novel we're reading the Articles will relate so they like some more than others do they like seeing their own progress being track this way again I've assumed that they do but I find it useful or helpful or does it give them Insight with what do you think I think first, see if it's important to them then they do but I don't think they look at the craft as much as they do cats this and then they'll be like on this and I got 2500 please let you know real is there constantly retaking the quizzes don't write so I tell them I'm going to go out today there's going to be so just like Apartments but sometimes if I'm reviewing some singer teaching something I take up some of that class time so that I know they feel stress like I want to get this done and they're kind of rushing through it then I might be something I will restart because you know when your y'all or reminding them like I'll remind them or models meditation or how do I answer a particular type of question or I'll show them an example of someone else's and I don't want them to feel Rush you know I mean I know them so they know they want to be done before the Bell Rings they don't want to do it for homework and sometimes closest rush through it so it just depends on the day and what's a schism what are some days around like today okay thanks like with her scores she she shouldn't be reading at the 56 pillow because she Eagles scores so I always remind her to to lower it but she works with it she is visually impaired to she likes to have it read to her and so she sick but it's being read to me so I can she wants to keep that she wants to keep you know you're in a hatchimals conversations with them to like me as she did on her own during autumn he's all she did at home because she thought she had to catch up on all the articles that she missed so she probably don't like this when she took 3 minutes I'm sure it looks like I'm getting this done so I feel bad that she didn't realize that she didn't have to make up all these articles but there's nothing I can do because obviously she was doing them on her own Jared Leto you know somebody were there he would remind her to lower the grade-level phone but it's a really nice it's a great resource article types literally never never ends whatever topic you're on and history are in English or you can look up you know on top again and it'll give you anyone them when they're when they're looking up their own articles you know stay there until Tommy poster into video games it's going to pop up all these articles another thing and it has text that will say you're on a unit on a particular unit say I was doing something with, there are texts that people have created already and so when you click text up there's a bunch of Articles already in there so it saves you from doing those searches because then you could just pull from here or you can create your own text sets and if if really want to use Newsela next year or you're going a little further and trading your old texts. So like for my classes that I created eater by cop so we read the hate you give so I have a check stub for that unit inequality in education unit be sorry about topics that they have pitched so I have units for the Holocaust so it just depends what I was in sociology I started one but then we stopped using it so just so you know what articles that you can see 6 articles I have in there and then I could just easily assign them just to dance you know to my classes and I took that class and then I quit a sign and it'll give me the option to assign it to their give me the option to sign into Google classroom and somehow there so when you share it you can share it on Google Classroom I'll be sure to delete it cuz they're going to be like why are you so you can say what classes you want to share to is it an assignment set a very user-friendly and then just like you assign any assignment in Google Classroom you would do it this way to change your point value if you needed to provide a Tuesday to cetera and then they would click on the article and they would go straight into it so I really like the feature that it connects to Google Classroom easily any other comments or questions it really is user-friendly and again it's a really easy way to assign articles on you know variety of topics right now we're doing titanosaur. still talking about coronavirus but you know what we're trying to do things that are positive so these are the two that I assigned my students are doing now either they're there their they're what they want to do with it then some of them have done are some of them want to write a poem and so they're going to do something that someone else happiness and freedom song lyrics how to do with positive messages so you connected however you know you want
