00:45 | Today we're having a little bit of a digital Learning | |
00:47 | showcase with Keep Indiana Learning and they were powered by | |
00:50 | Central Indiana Educational Service Centre . So we've got a | |
00:53 | great session planned for you with Diana knocks my good | |
00:57 | friend from the west side of indiana , I represent | |
01:02 | . We turn over here so we oh we always | |
01:07 | love that . But before we get started , I | |
01:09 | do want to make sure that all of these sessions | |
01:11 | , we mentioned some great new things happening with canvas | |
01:15 | studio and if you're not using canvas studio , it | |
01:19 | is one of our premier platforms that's kind of baked | |
01:22 | into canvas . Diana . You guys use canvas studio | |
01:24 | , we have canvas to , this is our first | |
01:26 | year and I love it . Let's go . Right | |
01:29 | . Yeah . It is absolutely fantastic . If Diana | |
01:33 | loves it , just like jim , there's a lot | |
01:35 | of people you need to know in the campus community | |
01:36 | . Diana is one of them . If they say | |
01:38 | they love it , then you might as well take | |

01:51 | canvas . A great place to create some interactive . | |
01:54 | You know what , I just just stop talking , | |
01:55 | we should just show it . Learning wasn't meant to | |
02:03 | be a one way street for learning to stick . | |
02:06 | Students need to do and make not just watch and | |
02:09 | listen . They need interaction , collaboration , feedback canvas | |
02:15 | studio transforms video learning by turning content into conversation . | |
02:19 | Here's how it works . Educators can create a variety | |
02:23 | of media experiences for their courses , from self recorded | |
02:26 | video to interactive discussions around other content . Students can | |
02:31 | create videos to as assignment submissions , presentations , peer | |
02:35 | feedback or ways to practice . Everyone gets their own | |
02:39 | personal media library . Wanna bring Youtube content into the | |
02:43 | mix . No problem . And accessibility is built right | |
02:47 | in focus . Students attention with timestamp comments , then | |
02:52 | turn those comments into conversations . Embed quiz questions to | |
02:56 | gauge understanding of key concepts at key moments , then | |
02:59 | send the scores straight to the grade book . Want | |
03:02 | a deeper look at engagement Studio offers , second by | |
03:05 | second student by student analytics . See what sinking in | |
03:09 | and what's falling flat , personalized , refine , repeat | |
03:14 | . And of course , canvas studio integrates seamlessly with | |
03:17 | the canvas LMS . That means studio can deliver videos | |
03:21 | exactly how students and teachers want to see them through | |
03:24 | canvas mobile apps . It means your institution gets full | |
03:28 | control of its video assets and a simple storage and | |
03:31 | bandwidth solution and your students get richer canvas courses , | |
03:35 | no extra Loggins and a more fluid learning experience , | |
03:39 | whether they're online in person or somewhere in between ready | |

04:17 | I'm gonna , I'm gonna say about Diana , she | |
04:19 | is one of our 18 digital learning coaches with Keep | |
04:21 | indiana Learning and our coaches helped support schools all across | |
04:25 | the state , but specifically 30 schools that we are | |
04:27 | supporting in conjunction with the University of Indianapolis and their | |
04:32 | cell program and we are funded through one of the | |
04:35 | governor's gear grants . And so Diana has been one | |
04:37 | of our amazing coaches and I'm super excited for you | |

04:51 | you so much . I'm excited to be here . | |
04:53 | I'm a little nervous . I mean , you know | |
04:54 | when you follow the canvas casters , that's a , | |
04:56 | that's a big deal please . We talked about , | |
05:00 | we talked about laundry laundry chutes . Listen , there's | |
05:04 | a lot got off task pretty quick . We're not | |
05:07 | the best student , right ? Yeah . Do you | |

05:27 | Cline . I can't , I'm not surprised he's not | |
05:29 | on the golf course , you know , getting a | |
05:31 | little sunshine , probably snowing up there , right ? | |
05:33 | It's already snowing on him , but you know , | |
05:35 | it's a Diana can't wait to be your session . | |
05:37 | So super excited to have you , we've got the | |
05:39 | stream ready , we've got the screen going , so | |
05:41 | take it away . Perfect . Thank you so much | |
05:44 | . So , um , as we get in here | |
05:47 | today , making connections with students , I think for | |
05:50 | me that was my favorite thing about being in the | |
05:52 | classroom sometimes . I absolutely loved getting in there and | |
05:58 | um meeting my students , getting to know them um | |
06:03 | and making those connections . So I do have a | |
06:05 | little bit , we here at the bottom of the | |
06:07 | screen that you can access these slides if you want | |
06:10 | . And I have some comments in the speaker notes | |
06:13 | because I'm afraid I'm going to forget something . There's | |
06:15 | so much I could talk to you about . So | |
06:18 | as a driving force for me , one of my | |
06:19 | things that I always focused on was the fact that | |
06:22 | my relationships with my students probably did help me have | |
06:26 | less problems with classroom management and disruption and students behavior | |
06:30 | . That's not to say they were all perfect because | |
06:32 | Lord have mercy . We all know that there are | |
06:34 | some stinkers out there . Um but those stinkers are | |
06:36 | usually that some of the most lovable ones , you | |
06:38 | can make those connections and get to know them . | |
06:40 | Um but relationships with our students are important and we | |
06:44 | know the reasons why we know that it's important to | |
06:47 | give their students a sense of belonging , um give | |
06:50 | them a feeling of voice when they feel comfortable and | |
06:53 | know that they can share their thoughts , their ideas | |
06:55 | , their their plans , and sometimes even their disagreement | |
07:00 | with you if they feel safe , that they can | |
07:02 | do that and know that they're still going to be | |
07:04 | respected , those connections are everlasting and super strong . | |
07:08 | Um we also know that stronger connections with our students | |
07:11 | show an increase in academic achievement and that's why we're | |
07:14 | here , we want to , our students to achieve | |
07:16 | and to know and to learn and grow . And | |
07:18 | so these pieces are important to help us with that | |
07:21 | . Um we all have a huge , huge treasure | |
07:26 | trove bag of tricks that we could pull from to | |
07:28 | create relationships with students in the , in the classroom | |
07:33 | face to face traditional settings . But when we start | |
07:37 | to look at flipping the lens on this one on | |
07:40 | one time discussing expectations , these things that you see | |
07:44 | listed here , doing that in an online or virtual | |
07:49 | environment can be a little bit more challenging . So | |
07:51 | how do we flip that lens ? How do we | |
07:53 | make that work ? And canvas can help you do | |
07:58 | this ? There are many features of canvas and more | |
08:00 | than I have listed here . Um , and I | |
08:03 | have to confess a lot of my ideas . They're | |
08:05 | not a virgin . I invent them . I followed | |
08:08 | when the canvas casters were talking and they gave you | |
08:10 | that list of people to follow . Uh , those | |
08:13 | are some of the very people that I gleaned some | |
08:14 | of these initial ideas from uh , the canvas casters | |
08:18 | kona jones , uh , the elementary campus for elementary | |
08:22 | Kerry and lindsey and Jim Wolf and Oh candidate tweets | |
08:27 | . And you know , some of the people that | |
08:28 | I've never had the privilege of meeting in person . | |
08:30 | But I've , I've watched the information that they can | |
08:33 | , his family has shared and put out there and | |
08:36 | I've gleaned a lot of really great ideas . So | |
08:38 | we're going to kind of go through these in order | |
08:40 | and talk about how you can use these things to | |
08:42 | create connections with your students . Um , and hopefully | |
08:46 | this will go pretty well . Um , so the | |
08:52 | inbox , I love the canvas inbox feature and the | |
08:55 | inbox for us lets us communicate with the entire class | |
09:00 | in just a couple of clicks . And so you | |
09:02 | can go in , select a class , select everybody | |
09:05 | in the class or select specific people . Each person | |
09:08 | can be sent their individual message and then that will | |
09:14 | go out and it creates a log and there are | |
09:18 | , this doesn't really apply to my session , but | |
09:20 | I love the new analytics . So a new analytics | |
09:22 | , you can kind of track how many times you've | |
09:24 | reached out to a student and how many times they've | |
09:25 | reached back . Um if you have your notification set | |
09:29 | up correctly or I guess I shouldn't say correctly a | |
09:32 | preference . I haven't come to my inbox of my | |
09:34 | email . So these come right to your email . | |
09:37 | It's not like managing a couple of different places . | |
09:39 | You can reply right back . So this inbox is | |
09:42 | a great way to make those connections and reach out | |
09:44 | if it's something you want to share with the whole | |
09:46 | class or an individual where you want to just check | |
09:48 | in on them and see how things are going because | |
09:50 | you notice that they required in the online session today | |
09:53 | . Those are things that are important to note with | |
09:56 | the inbox discussions . This is something admittedly it's probably | |
10:01 | my area of weakness . I don't have a lot | |
10:04 | of discussions in my treasure trove to use from , | |
10:07 | but it's one of my missions is to improve . | |
10:10 | And so I remember attending a session with the fabulous | |
10:14 | Megan Tolan and Joanna Ray and it was at a | |
10:18 | summer of a learning session at Richmond and they had | |
10:20 | a whole session on discussions and one of the ideas | |
10:23 | that they gave us was you kind of put your | |
10:25 | students into groups and assign some roles . And so | |
10:29 | you have students that are deliberately taking on maybe a | |
10:32 | stance that isn't what they personally believe , that they | |
10:34 | have to give information and defend it . And I | |
10:37 | thought that was a great way of engaging the students | |
10:39 | in the , in the course and asking them to | |
10:41 | really amp up their critical thinking . But if you | |
10:44 | also insert yourself into those discussions , it's another way | |
10:47 | for the students to get to know you on another | |
10:48 | level , to get to know things that you have | |
10:52 | that you want to share with them . Um , | |
10:54 | and then they will feel safer speaking up adding information | |
10:59 | sharing with you . So mix up those discussions . | |
11:02 | They don't have to be the standard that maybe some | |
11:05 | of us went to college with with discussion boards . | |
11:08 | There's lots of creative ways to use discussions and to | |
11:10 | create those connections . And it's not even just the | |
11:13 | connections with your students , between the teacher and the | |
11:15 | student , but you want to also establish those connections | |
11:18 | , students , a student . And then that will | |
11:20 | also trickle back to you and you can read the | |
11:22 | benefits from it . Um , canvas quizzes . This | |
11:25 | is an idea that I have to say kona jones | |
11:28 | . I first heard her on an episode of the | |
11:30 | canvas casters . I think it's episode number two . | |
11:33 | Um She talked about using canvas quizzes not just as | |
11:38 | a quiz . So don't let that name trip you | |
11:41 | up . Don't let let you think that that can | |
11:43 | only be used for assessment or quick checks and things | |
11:45 | like that . You can use it as an SCL | |
11:48 | check in . And I know here in the state | |
11:49 | of indiana we're really starting to focus heavily on SCL | |
11:52 | . There's been huge talk of it during the pandemic | |
11:55 | about making sure we're keeping up with our students and | |
11:58 | understanding how they're feeling and where they are . And | |
12:01 | you can use the quizzes to replace your beginning of | |
12:03 | the year questionnaire . Um and I loved Conan's idea | |
12:06 | . I think she uses it together , feedback from | |
12:08 | students just kind of a general how are you checking | |
12:11 | in ? May not necessarily be content related , But | |
12:15 | she talked about using quizzes just to learn about her | |
12:18 | students and know where they were in the world and | |
12:20 | where they were with what was going on in their | |
12:22 | lives . That might help her understand a bit better | |
12:25 | , um how to um what was what was going | |
12:31 | on in the world and how to make those connections | |
12:33 | , And I . |
