Speaker 1: OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network.

Jennifer Gagliardi: OK, great. So my name is Jennifer Gagliardi. I'm with OTAN, and I'm a Subject Matter Expert. I present on topics of, technology, specifically video and citizenship. So let's get started.

So today we're going to talk about creating a YouTube channel. We're going to add content to a YouTube channel. We'll create playlists to deliver targeted content. Because, otherwise, if you just send a video to a student, they might just go off the deep end into YouTube or to TikTok. And we will talk about questions about closed captions or privacy rights, whatever you would like to do at the end.

So I'm going to talk about creating a YouTube channel. And one of the big questions that I have that people always ask me is, can you create a YouTube channel with a non-Gmail email account. So I tried to do that several times, and I got basically put back into a loop again and again. They want to sign me into the Google Suites to create the Gmail account.

So I would say, it's best not to create a YouTube account or a YouTube channel with a non-Gmail email, OK? So you can create a workaround or something that would be similar, but, still, they really want you to use Gmail to create your YouTube channel.

Also, another thing is that they would prefer when you're starting to practice, use your own private Gmail to get some practice in before you move on and create something for your school, or your work account, your professional accounts.

So there's two ways that you can create a channel. The first thing is that you can go from the Gmail account Waffle, choose Gmail. So here I'm already logged into Gmail under my US Citizen Pod account. I click YouTube, and it's going to automatically create an account.

Or you can log into YouTube itself, which-- let's see if I can get rid of this. You log into YouTube itself. You can switch an account, and you can add whatever account or Gmail that you want to create your YouTube channel.

OK, so here I am. I've created a new Gmail channel called Us Citizen Kitty. And, in fact, my US Citizen Kitty just walked in and wants a snack, so let me give her my snack.

So here I can go in, and at the very top it says, Create a channel. So now I've created the channel, and one of the first things it's going to do is ask you to upload a picture. Of course, you can skip this and come back to it later. But because my cat is so adorable, I had to share that. So yes, this is Frankie.

So, now basically, this is what your plain YouTube channel will look like. You're going to see your name on the top. You'll see that profile picture that you put up there. But now, this is where some people get stuck. You can add your own cell phone videos, or live streams, or--

I like to say, upload my PowerPoints that have been saved as MP4s. And I know we've got a lot of PowerPoints out there that you see that would be really good to basically put up. Either you can put it up with narration or without narration. You could put up recorded meetings via Google Meet or Zoom.

And I think one of the most effective uses of this is courses, the EL Civics meetings are put up, are recorded, and then they're uploaded later on and people can go back and review those videos. So that's really helpful for some people.

You can also upload screencasts from Loom or Screencastifys, or the one thing that I'm going to talk a lot about today is adding content for other YouTube channels, such as videos or playlists. And I like both, and I'm going to talk about using other people's videos and making playlists.

So you can get that content out there, and gradually you can start building up your YouTube channel, you get your students used to coming to your channel to reviewing things, and then you get your students perhaps getting more excited about this, and perhaps creating their own videos.

Before I continue, on do I have any questions? It's a little bit difficult for me to see the chat. And feel free to ask any questions during my presentation. OK. Let me continue on.

One of the things this is-- one of the ways that you can customize your channel is you can talk about-- or you want to make a general setting for your channel up here. The thing that looks like the cog, this is the Settings icon, and this is a fairly universal icon.

One of the things is that you want to set it to public. I'm setting it to public because I already know that I want to share this with my students. If you want to set up your account first, maybe you want to set everything to private, and then change it and go public. So you can also say that-- I always want to say that my category is education, and there's two licenses that you can use. Let me talk about them.

First of all, Standard YouTube content. So if somebody takes your YouTube content and uses it for themselves and gets-- basically, they get money from it, you can basically appeal to YouTube, file a copyright infringement form or report, and YouTube can basically inform the person who violated your copyright they'll take it down. So you don't have to deal with that person who took your information directly, YouTube takes care of it, and it's pretty much of an automatic process.

The other one is Creative Commons, and you might really want to consider this, especially if you're doing things on Canvas. And I am not as familiar as I should be with Canvas Studio, but the thing is that some people like to hold their things in Canvas Studio, eventually they do move it to a YouTube channel so people can access that information outside of the Canvas app.

Now, some of the things that you really would want to be careful with if you you're doing it in Canvas, if you're doing videos on Canvas, make sure you're not sharing things from Flipgrid-- I'm sorry, Flip, or students' comments and stuff like that. Make sure it's your own content, and make sure it--

Please be very, very careful, very, very sensitive to students' privacy. Don't share their content unless you have explicit information. And, of course, always review your educational institutions rules about photo permissions or for photo releases.

OK. The other thing is that I always want to add the keywords. So, for instance, I have education, ESL, ELL, literacy, adult education, ed tech, citizenship, of course, you would want to add things if you're involved with corrections or ABE, that's going to be really, really important.

Because you're going to be sharing content from your website, perhaps, you're going to be sharing those ESL-- I'm sorry, those playlists, you're going want to uncheck the Allow advertisements to be displayed along your videos. Why do you want to uncheck that is because the students will be able to find that a little bit easier. But, again, that's a personal change. You can go back and forth and flip these things on and off as you will.

So far, again, you want to keep your liked videos private. So, for instance, there's some comedians that I really, really like. However, if some members of my family saw that, or some of my students, they would be shocked, and so I want to keep those liked videos checked private.

I want to keep my subscriptions private because for the same thing. I don't want them to see some of the things that I do like. Although there is a section on YouTube that you can show some of the channels that you recommend.

For instance, I really like things from VOA. I love things from the United States Government. I really love some of the ESL creators out on YouTube. So those are the things that I can share in another section, and that's really good to see.

Do you want to keep your safe playlist private? No, you don't. You want to make them public because you're going to be distributing them to your students.

OK. So if you want further information-- and I have a padlet that I will share later on about the different YouTube videos and channels that I recommend. You could take a look at this playlist. I have a bit.ly down here, bit.ly/yt-creator. So here you can get some more information about customizing your channel.

And I want to talk about the channel composition. You want to think about your channel in terms of a hierarchy. So at the very, very top layer, you're going to want to have maybe your most recent video, or-- yeah, you want to have your most recent video or a welcome video. And this video is actually a video I did with Patricia Hernandez during COVID, I believe.

I want to have some-- this is a group of or a series of videos that I did with Patricia Hernandez and during COVID that's talking about some recent information during COVID, and that was really important to get that information out here.

Here's some videos, a playlist. And, in fact, I have one here from Brendon Peacock from BPSOS. So great organization. And then I have created playlists that I've put together incorporating-- matching some of my videos with other people's videos.

So, again, you want to see-- the students want to see the most important things on the top of your page, and then you can basically create a priority list basically with your page. Again, this is another way to envision it. How you have the basic channel planner. You have a featured video, you have your uploads, your created playlist, and your saved playlist. And also--

Speaker 2: [ INAUDIBLE ]

Jennifer Gagliardi: OK. And this one is you have some feature channels that could be chosen by you. And this one, YouTube has-- it seems that they have taken this away related channels chosen by YouTube. Now it's more like their suggestions from advertisers. I want to go on-- I've used this term several times and what is a playlist.

And a playlist is a list of ordered videos. It allows viewers to watch multiple videos, and the videos appear in a predetermined order by the playlist owner. So you're the one who's setting up what people are going to see and what order the students are going to see the videos in. It's not going to be an algorithm, it's you the teacher who is doing this.

A playlist could be composed by videos uploaded by you or uploaded by another creator, and then saved or imported to the list. So I wanted to be really specific in this case. So, for instance, there is a really great video from Jennifer ESL about pronunciation.

I'm not going to download her video and reupload it to my channel and pretend-- pass it off as if it was mine. I'm going to be basically creating-- what is that called? Something like a shortcut where there's a link between my channel and her channel.

If one of my students clicks on Jennifer-- if one of my students is on my channel and they click on a video from Jennifer ESL, Jennifer ESL is going to get the pay points from that. I am not going to get anything, but I'm going to get a more informed student, and that's where-- that's the win for me.

I have a further list about-- this is from-- these are directions from Google. So, again, this is bit.ly/playlist-help. These are from Google about how to create and manage playlists and sharing videos. So this is very specific information from Google. However, I do have to warn you. Things appear differently on every single advice.

When I work, I usually use a Windows machine. It's going to look a little bit different on Mac machine. It looks a lot different on my Apple iPhone. It's going to look a lot different on Android. , So, again you have to be a little bit aware and a little bit flexible when you take a look at these directions and click along with them.

So I want to talk about adding a video or a playlist to the channel. You start with the video that you want in the playlist. Under the video, you Add to icon, which is usually a big plus. And you can select Watch Later, which I don't want to do. I want to select a playlist, and a playlist that I've already created or I could click Create a New Playlist.

And if you create a new playlist, you enter the playlist name. And then you use the dropdown box to select the playlist privacy setting. If it's private that you can only view the playlist. Usually if I'm doing something special for a student, a lot of times I'll select the unlisted selection because I don't-- so they can basically--

So I've created it. They can see it, but nobody else can see what I've sent them, OK? So that's one of the positive things about that. But frequently because I deal with a lot of students, I'm going to be creating public playlists. Then you to click to create. And I'll demonstrate this a little bit later.

So, again, the second part of creating a playlist to channel-- there's two types of playlists. There's a created playlist. So these are videos organized by topics. So I'm sitting there, and I'm creating that playlist, and I'm saying, hey, I want to put together something about jobs, ESL jobs, or basics. Or maybe I want to pick and choose some videos from learning-- VOA Learning English. So those are created playlists that I put together, and I put them in a certain sequence.

Saved playlists come for other channels. So another creator has picked and chosen these videos, they've strung them together in playlists, and they basically said, this is public. I'm going to allow you to borrow this playlist and basically put a alias on your own YouTube channel so you can access this playlist. So your students can see it, and they don't have to click away from your channel. But then, again, they're going to get the credit for this.

So here's one from Mark Kulek that he's already created about grammar made simple. Again, things about food and drink and stuff from Jennifer ESL. And a lot of these samples I'm using right now are from literacy level because I did a lot-- I taught literacy for many years. Later on I'll be sharing things for ABE and corrections and stuff like that.

Here's a little bit-- oh, I have something in the chat. Let me see-- let me take a look. How is private different from unlisted? Private is something only you can see, OK? So I can only see that video. I can only see that channel-- sorry, what is that called? A playlist that I've created.

Unlisted is that I created it, it's not public. People who come and visit my channel can't see it, but I've created these videos. I put them in the playlist. I said that they're unlisted. Now I can share them with another student or another series of students that I specifically designate. They can access that content, but nobody else can access the content. So this is a way that you preserve several things.

You preserve the students' privacy. Maybe they don't want people to know that they're struggling with certain types of pronunciation. Or I will do a series of citizenship practice interviews with them. I want to see those videos. I want to share those videos. Instead of just sending them one by one, I put them in a playlist, and the student can watch those videos whenever they want to. When they graduate from citizenship, I delete that playlist to preserve their privacy.

So does that answer your question? Hopefully. EL? OK. Let's see. OK. Thank you so much. EL, do you have-- I should have asked this upfront, does anybody have any YouTube channels, or do they-- do you guys-- does anybody have a YouTube channel? Or is anybody thinking about getting or doing a YouTube channel? Can you throw that in the chat right now? Or you could say something. You could talk.

Speaker 3: Yeah. We created a YouTube channel at Venice and we put some of our informational videos of how to help students navigate X, Y and Z.

Jennifer Gagliardi: That's really, really good. So because a lot of times people are saying the same thing over and over again, it's like, wait, this could be good publicity for our school. So if you want to drop the link into the chat box a little bit later, that would be great. OK. You have a channel, but every video is unlisted if you recall correctly.

Well, you don't have to-- you can unlist or make public things video by video. So if you say, OK, I have 10 videos. I want to make two of them public. Two of them are ready for prime time. Go ahead and do that, and those eight are going to still be preserved, and they're going to only be visible to you, or whoever you choose.

OK. I'm going to move on and talk about adding a video to a playlist. We're going to organize videos from different sources. So here's a video about vegetables. I'm going to click the Share button. It's going to say Create a new-- or I could save it to Watch Later, or I could Create a new playlist. I've named it Vegetables. I can change the privacy here from public to private to unlisted, and, of course, I can hit the Create.

Now, I'm going to take another one. Let's see if you could see-- this is adding a video to a playlist part 2. So there's a couple of things that you could do you. Of course, you click Share. You could copy the URL, and especially if you're in Canvas, you're going to probably want to get the URL, or you can copy and paste the embed code.

So I put things up a blogger, I'm going to be more interested in the embed code. Canvas, you don't have to do that. You just use the URL. And you can note the start time. So sometimes you may want-- you may not want the first part of the video, but you want to start it very close to the more relevant information.

So you can basically click this box here and talk about the start time, and it will basically incorporate the second where the video should begin, OK? Let's see. So that's an example of me embedding in a post. OK. Next one please. Chat. OK. Is this from Venice?

Speaker 3: No.

Jennifer Gagliardi: Oh, OK. I have one from YouTube, OK. Who just dropped this in there? What's your YouTube channel about?

Speaker 4: So I'm the transition counselor for Victor Valley Adult Education Regional Consortium. I have two YouTubes on there, or videos. The first one is how to apply to the college. The second one is how to complete online orientation and placement survey. So it's just like a step-by-step walkthrough.

Jennifer Gagliardi: OK. I have been begging our adult ed and college consortium to put up a channel of videos walking them to the college and talking about transitioning and back and forth. I'm going to show them your channel, and say, look, this can be done, and it looks good.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I think it's a really effective tool. I really do. It's a great way to basically promote your system, your school system. Yeah. You want to share with students. OK, good. OK. Let me continue on.

Here's another example of me instead of grabbing the video URL, I'm grabbing the URL of a playlist. And what is a playlist? This is something that's already on another channel, it's been developed by another creator.

So this was Jennifer from English with Jennifer, or I usually say Jennifer ESL. And she basically did a whole series of beginning conversation videos, 65. So instead of basically copying and pasting all those URLs, all I have to do is grab this one URL of her playlist, and I copy it, and now I can basically show it over on my own channel.

Again, she's going to get credit for that, but my students who are getting used to YouTube have this one place where they can go and see that information. So that's the advantage of this.

Also, if I have to send my students emails, particularly in Canvas I was doing this, it's like, you're having problems with this one series of writing grammar points. I basically create playlists, and I was able to use the URL and send it directly to the students.

So I said, watch these three videos, watch these five videos, and basically so they can reinforce correct usage of a certain grammar point. So knowing how to flip back and forth from the URLs to the embed code is going to be really, really important.

I want to talk a little bit more about saving a playlist from another channel to your own channel. And the reason why we're talking about this is, hey, maybe you don't have your own content to upload about-- you haven't created your own videos. But you can start populating your channel with videos and playlists from other channels.

And I don't want to just throw up other people's videos to my channel. Usually, I want to organize them in playlists. It keeps things a little bit more organized, and students can really benefit from seeing a series of videos. And usually, the shorter, the better in a series of videos that basically reinforces and maybe actually extends the learning that's happening.

So from my front page, I click Customize Channel button on my channel. I scroll down to featured sections, and add a section plus a sign. I select a single playlist. I search for the desired playlist, and enter the playlist URL. And I click reposition arrow, new saved playlist on my channel's homepage.

Now, that is a whole bunch of gobbledygook, can I demonstrate that? And let me check the chat first, and then I'll try to demonstrate. Where do you get the start time, OK? I'll demonstrate that live right now, OK? And let's see. I have a problem seeing that. Let me make that bigger. I have a channel, but-- OK.

Let me take a look at that. I don't see it as worth disallowing-- OK. There's one for disabling interest-based ads. Yeah. That is true. Disallowing advertisements-- a long, long time ago you could disallow advertisements, and now I don't think we have that option anymore. So I'm going to stop share for a second. I'm going to share to my own YouTube channel.

And today-- oh, hello, kitties. So this is-- OK. So here is one of the-- here's a basic ESL channel that I have. We have two buttons that I'm going to refer to because I want to talk about customizing the channel because I'm going to be incorporating somebody else's playlist, that's where I'm going to go to first.

OK. So I want to customize the channel. So you see a couple of things here. I have my icons. I have my welcome messages on top. We have featured sections, and we can add sections. And unfortunately, we can only do 12 sections, so let me get rid of one of these. So I'm going to get-- I'm going to remove that section.

I'm going to add a section. I'm going to say I want a single playlist. Now I can do any playlist. So I can search for this, or I can actually put in the URL. Oh, here we go. Jennifer ESL, the Learn English lessons, 65. So now it's been basically imported over here, but it's a little bit low. It would appear after videos that I want this actually higher. I want my students to see it like one of the first things.

So here it's a little bit difficult to do, but you can use this bar to move this up and down your page. Usually, you can do it. OK. And I want to put it-- Oh, I guess I'm going to repeat it twice. That's maybe why we're having problems. So here I'm going to publish. If you don't publish it, it's not going to save your changes. So I'm going to publish it.

Now I would go to my channel, and I would be-- you're going to hear that so many times. Hopefully not, but I will. Here I see that it is on my channel. I have a duplicate. I don't want that duplicate. But here it's basically put in the position that I've wanted to. Above that, here's a series of videos that I've created that's talking about making appointments.

So I wanted to-- somebody asked about the start time. Let me demonstrate that just for a second, OK? So I'm going to grab this one here. I'm going to share it, OK? Oh, sorry. Let me go back. Skip Ad. So here, we're going to go maybe two minutes in. Sorry, maybe a minute in.

You can play the video and decide where you would want to start it. So I'm going to start a minute or two in. Now, I'm going to share it-- I'm going to go to-- I'm going to go down to this box, I'm going to say, copy-- start at one minute, two seconds. This is change from time-- so there's a question mark. Question mark says, OK, what's your variable that's going to happen here?

I want to change the start time, T equals 62. So 62 is 60 seconds plus two more seconds. You copy it, and then that's where you would basically embed it, or you would put it into whatever URL or you would put it into Canvas. So that's the way you do is start time. So that works fine right there.

I want to go back to my presentation just a second because I'm going to demonstrate stop time. Nope. OK. This is a good video. And, again, I have it at this bit.ly/startstopvideo. You have the start, S-T-A-R-T equals 150, which I think is three minutes, and E-N-D equals 180, OK? So, basically, I'm just saying, hey, I want you to watch only the middle of this video.

After it stops, then the student could continue and watch on another video after that. So, again, this is, again, start time and stop time. OK, great. Any questions about that? OK, good. OK. So that was creating a list. Oh, yes, please. Did somebody say something?

OK. So one of the big-- let me-- this is another tip that I have. One of the biggest problems is-- I don't know if you're like me, but I've fallen into a web of short videos, and I just scroll, scroll, scroll, and that time that I thought I was going to read my novel is passed, and I've-- so I've found that even though I'm not on TikTok, the videos that have been ported over from TikTok, or from TikTok to Facebook, or whatever the case may be, very, very interesting.

But I usually start on topic, and go way, way off topic. So this is something that I've started doing is I've started creating playlists of short videos. So it's going to still capture the students' interest, but it's going to remain on topic, and they're going to be short videos. Because sometimes if you give them even a three-minute video, it's too much time. But if there's enough variety in a series of videos, they're going to basically get the point.

So let me review the steps first. You go to your Manage Videos button on your channel, it's on the top right. You click the Create icon, and it looks like a video camera on the very, very top right. You're going to create a new playlist, and name the new playlist. And click the playlist, and then you're going to add by search or by URL.

Now, why do you have to do it this way? Because, let's see-- I'm going to go back to YouTube again. YouTube, here we go. We're just going to do a search on citizenship shorts. Citizenship, and you look for the-- you always use the hashtag #shorts. And these are videos that are under a minute.

So here's a whole series of videos. If I sit there and I say, OK, I want-- oh, this is a nice one from Essa. Really quality work there. OK. Let me stop. If I share it, I'm going to copy it-- oh, sorry. What I wanted to say, there is no way to simply hit the Plus sign and copy it into a created playlist.

So what you have to do-- there's two ways. You could copy it and dump it into a playlist without the first share [ INAUDIBLE ] and let me grab that because I need to actually use that a little bit later. Cancel. Again, shareless as you can see. There's no way that I can hit that Plus and automatically share it to a playlist. I have to go on a roundabout way to do that. So let me show you how I did that.

So I go to my channel, you have-- OK. And here, you're going to go to Manage Videos. So this is where all your videos are stored. Some of them are public. Some of them are private. You have playlists, et cetera, et cetera. I want to go to the top, I want to hit Create. I want to say that I want to create a new playlist, and I'm going to do something called citizenship shorts.

I want to make it public, or you can make a private or unlisted, whatever you choose. It's created. Now what you're going to have to do, you don't see it in front of you. It's like, hey, I just see my videos. Go to Playlists. You're going to see it on top right here. I want to Edit it. Now I want to add the videos.

I could add the videos in a couple of ways. One way is I could add the videos by that URL, OK? But I want to take off the question mark featured. And now I can basically add that. So I've added that video, and it's going to appear on my playlist. I want to go and look for some more things. So here are some more videos. So I can simply click on what I want to use.

Now, is this going to be appropriate. It's not going to be appropriate because it's a little bit-- that's 25 minutes, OK? So that's not going to be cool. But I know-- let's see. Click a little bit over-- oh, here's another one. You say, hey, I want this-- whoa, I don't want that. No, no, no, no, no. Let me go back. I'm sorry. So I'm sorry. I didn't do one thing. What I did was I didn't say Add Videos. Now, I'm going to--

Now, it's going to come up with the videos. I've put in my search. And I've said shorts because I only want those short videos. And my topic is, it could be citizenship, it could be pronunciation, it could be ABE, it could be whatever you want. And now I can pick and choose what videos I want to add to my citizenship program.

And you notice I'm picking some from Essa, but let me pick-- I keep on picking from Essa. No offense. I love Essa. I want to grab some from other groups. It's going to automatically add these videos. And I can now move them around and decide what sequence I want them to be in. So which one's going to be first, which one's going to be second, which one's going to be third.

Of course, you can basically do it by-- you can sort by date, or most popular, et cetera, but usually because I'm a teacher, I want to present things in sequential order to build up a student's knowledge. So now that I have this, let me go back to my channel.

I'm going to go to Customized-- I am so sorry that you've heard that video so many times. OK. Now, remember, I basically put in the duplicate. I'm going to remove this section. I'm going to add a section. I'm going to say I want a single playlist. And now I had those citizenship shorts, and I can basically move that new list a little bit further up a line. Let's see. It's a little bit difficult to do so big. OK. Now that's moving a little bit better.

So instead of the bottom of the page, I'm going to get it closer to the top of the page, hopefully. Working. If I struggle with this a little bit too much, it's going to be not worth it, OK? Oh, there we-- that's the ESL one. But the point is that here instead of an algorithm deciding what your student-- what sequence your students are going to be watching things, you're making that decision for your-- you're making that decision.

OK. So now it's at the very top. I'm going to publish it. And sometimes it takes a minute or two for it to populate, so don't worry. Sometimes there's a little bit delay. It depends how-- so now you see the citizenship shorts are at the very top of the page, and I can tell my students, hey, I want you to watch this series of videos first. OK. So I think we have about 20 minutes left. Yeah, is that correct?

I'm going to basically now going to be talking about how to populate our pages a little bit more. So I'm going to talk about other channel resources. And to do that, I have a padlet. So this is the padlet here. Please take a look at this. This is a bit.ly/teach-yt/padlet.

And let me grab this. Let's see if I can grab it and throw it into the chat. It doesn't seem like it wants to go. Could somebody grab that and put that in the chat for me please if that could be possible? If not, let me see if I can do it this way. Whoa.

One more minute, I almost have it. OK. I got it. So back to Zoom, back to chat. Oh, thank you. Wow. So much better. OK. Thank you very much for that. OK. So now let's go back to Zoom. Share here.

OK. So I wanted to-- normally, you would think that I would start at the beginning. And I, basically, have different-- I've talked about creating channels, so these are resources about creating a channel, uploading videos, editing videos, creating playlists. Here's a really good series or examples of shorts. Now, the best place to find shorts is simply go to your YouTube channel and see if they have a short section.

Slangman has a new series of shorts that are really good, but I also have examples about how to make shorts themselves, and I know I've created several shorts with software from Canva and things like that. I have some really good resources for beginning ESL, intermediate, and advanced. But what I would like to do is the newer resources that I added just today were at the end of the padlet, so I'm going to start from there.

So if you want to talk about video apps and further information, CUE, which is the Computer Users for Education has some five good ways for students to record videos and screencast. Most of it is K-12-oriented, but I know a lot of our adult learners are using this themselves.

Edpuzzle, please do not make the mistake that I did. So I took a series of videos from VOA Learning English about the presidents, their one-minute videos, and I asked 10 questions in a one-minute video. So students didn't learn anything because it was so fragmented. You need students to have space to actually see, understand, and then respond, OK? So think about your students. Don't pile all the questions in. Basically use a little prudence with that.

Yeah. We know the ESL library is now Ellii. They had a really good convention and shared some of their videos from that convention. I was wondering if anybody uses Flip with Flipgrid-- let's see-- or in Canvas. Is CUE a website? cue.org is the organization and that's the website.

And they have conventions. In fact, I think they're going to have a convention that's coming up. But it was originally started in California, just gathering together the K-12 and adult educators to do, how do you use computers in your classroom? Now they're having some great conventions, they have a lot of online resources. So please take a look at that.

I have a video in here from Instructure for using Canvas Studio. So basically plumbing the depths of Canvas Studio. And I know OTAN has been sponsoring a series of webinars about Canvas, and specifically about Canvas Studios. So hopefully they can remediate that and put that up.

Nearpod used to be a favorite. People still have a lot invested in Nearpod. Oh, here's a really great talk from OTAN which is about how to edit, save, and play great interactive videos. And they were using playposit.com. That app. But that was recently purchased by WeVideo. So that's another way.

A little bit more sophisticated by the Edpuzzle, but Edpuzzle also has some good adult resource-- sorry, professional development resources so you can learn more how to use it. OTAN also has a really good list about how to use videos in the classroom.

I wanted to talk about adult ed organizations. And that's a preview of my talk tomorrow. Let me see. Just [ INAUDIBLE ] but haven't used it. Oh, I want to talk-- let me talk about Flip just for a second, and then I'll get CUE for you. So let's see CUE.

OK. This is CUE. And let me throw that in-- let me throw that-- oh, am I-- hopefully you can see that. So you see that? Yeah. OK, great. So please check out that resource from CUE. Stop share. Let me go back to-- oh my gosh, I forgot where I am. Let me continue talking about adult ed.

Adult ed organizations. Tomorrow I'm going to do a presentation about the Alphabet Soup of Adult Organizations. So I've tried to put together-- not every adult ed organization has a channel, but there's some that you really need to take a look at. So we have All In, American English at State.

And the reason why American English at State is so valuable is because they, not only have videos for students, but they have teachers training, and they also have MOOCs, which is machine-- they have a series of courses about how to write, how to be a student journalist, et cetera, et cetera. And so they've taken all the videos that they created for their cohorts, and they put the videos on as a separate playlist. So take a look at American English at State. And they also have some really good resources.

We have CALPRO. And CALPRO, they do have a YouTube site, but basically, I want to talk-- I'll talk about that in a second a little bit more. CASAS has a good website, but the one thing that you need to take a look at CASAS, you really want to get in-- you really want to check out, if you're in El Civics, check out the EL Civics support channel.

And there's a specific-- a playlist from Lori Howard that basically records all the Zoom meetings, online EL Civics Zoom meetings. And there's so much information in those videos that, really, even though I participated in those videos, I always go back and rewatch those videos to pick up some points that I didn't see before. So take a look at that one.

This was the thing that I missed up here. California Adult Education Training Schedule. So we do it for CAEP, CALPRO, CASAS, and OTAN. And even though all those groups have different websites-- sorry, different YouTube channels, what you really want to do is get involved with some of their webinars and online trainings because they do put up some of their trainings on their YouTube websites, but they don't put up all the trainings.

And remember, this stuff is free, and we pay taxes to support this, and the trainings really give back to the community. So please do this and consider even volunteering to do some presentations yourself. I want to talk about CASAS Citizenship Prep Support. There's going to be some more videos that are coming up, especially because they're considering updating the new-- or they're considering redesigning the citizenship interview.

Not so much the civics questions. Those are the things that people are really concerned about. But they're talking about administrating that a little bit differently. So we have some resources up there, and hopefully I'll be able to put up some information about the new redesign.

CATESOL has some videos. They do not put up all their videos from all the different groups that they have. They have a lot of online webinars. But I do want to show you one thing from CATESOL a little bit later on.

COABE, for my money, COABE is just really, really good. They put up recordings of most of their webinars. Some really fine information there. Here's a really good interview about-- another from OTAN. She's talking to the people from CUE. They're talking about adult education and how we use it. So, basically, they're trying to, basically, incorporate more ABE and adult education, and she's just really at the forefront of that.

Talking about Dollar Literacy Google-- ISTE. So this one is really important for adult educators because, again, it's talking about how to use computers and computer education and digital literacy more effectively in the classroom. They have some great online classes and cohorts, but the convention is just absolutely mind blowing.

LINCS, I'm really proud to say that I'm now one of the moderators at LINCS. What am I doing? Oh, I'm a moderator for the new citizenship-- new civics education and civics forum, but there's some really great discussion on there. And, occasionally, LINCS will put up some of their webinars or recordings from their webinars. Of course, we have OTAN. ProLiteracy has some really good videos about how to use their products, and they also have some good training up there.

Oh, here we got Marsha Chan, the pronunciation doctor, and she runs the pronunciation group on CATESOL. And she uploads the webinar recordings from the pronunciation group up to her channel from Pronunciation Doctor. So if you're having some questions about that, please go take a look at that because not everything from CATESOL-- what they do, they don't put everything up on YouTube, but some of the best stuff I did find on Marsha Chan's channel. Of course, we have information from TESOL. And this is a really great playlist from EdTech for strategies for playlists.

Corrections. This is a big deal. A lot of people-- do I have a minute? I have a minute. COABE. So COABE has a couple of really good things, and also TEDx. Going back through ABE, HiSET, workforce development, please take a look at-- ooh-- take a look at this one from World Education, Teaching Soft Skills and Incorporating Workplace Readiness Skills. That was a great webinar. So, again-- oh, citizenship, USCIS just put up four new videos about the citizenship interview process. Of course, you can go back and take a look at all these other videos, all these other playlists.
