Blogger got to be a bit confining so I've moved to Wordpress at <a href="http://onenoteschool.com/">http://onenoteschool.com</a> ... you'll be able to find new posts and this archive there. I'll keep this archived here as long as Google will do so!Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709382141886834329.post-7578335164993977362020-01-16T07:00:00.000-05:002020-01-16T07:00:01.845-05:00Read this emailMy school has an unproductive relationship with email; it's woefully abused and so no one really reads email since they're overwhelmed with it. If you didn't ruthlessly triage you'd never get through to the actual important ones. (A few good reminders are here: <a href="https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-to-email">https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-to-email</a> ) Back when I did a leadership role, in order to make sure mine had the best chance of being read, I used to always include a cartoon so they would at least look at the email (and often they would refer to the cartoon when they wanted additional assistance on the content of the email!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9GRvhd0wvv4/Xh_prg7wnAI/AAAAAAABr04/_X8JVDA0Zo0CLX2bUGnrpoX4MwKeu2lLACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/2020-01-15_23-30-47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="744" height="623" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9GRvhd0wvv4/Xh_prg7wnAI/AAAAAAABr04/_X8JVDA0Zo0CLX2bUGnrpoX4MwKeu2lLACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/2020-01-15_23-30-47.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
I no longer do that (leadership or cartoons!) and so when I want to make sure that people read my emails (especially students) I use the FOLLOW-UP option. When I send my email, I click on FOLLOW UP on the main MESSAGE ribbon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92I0RZKaNkc/Xh_plitmQGI/AAAAAAABr0s/KD7ZgTkvXjMxfSnJXqKkfFSChkGeUVDJQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="279" data-original-width="170" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92I0RZKaNkc/Xh_plitmQGI/AAAAAAABr0s/KD7ZgTkvXjMxfSnJXqKkfFSChkGeUVDJQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233305.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
While it gives you options for Today, Tomorrow, etc, I always click on CUSTOM so that I can set it for exactly when I want it. For students, for example, I often set it for 7:30pm since our boarding students have to be at their desks from 7-9 each evening. Or, if it's for something during class, I set it during class time.<br />
Now, when the email is sent, it arrives in their email box and it shows up shaded as well, setting it off from the wave of other emails.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KTMBYVcryhg/Xh_plt_DnWI/AAAAAAABr08/Uv9RDTvLlpEOGgD1nymT7dIOv3ULme1cgCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233603.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="92" data-original-width="308" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KTMBYVcryhg/Xh_plt_DnWI/AAAAAAABr08/Uv9RDTvLlpEOGgD1nymT7dIOv3ULme1cgCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233603.jpg" /></a></div>
So long as the email is in their inbox ... even if they haven't read it... they'll get a reminder at the time you've set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W2aASI22diE/Xh_plxfcCjI/AAAAAAABr1A/mlRccsgdV2cTJdN8gES7PlBwxC_mi62DwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="351" data-original-width="476" height="235" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W2aASI22diE/Xh_plxfcCjI/AAAAAAABr1A/mlRccsgdV2cTJdN8gES7PlBwxC_mi62DwCEwYBhgL/s320/Annotation%2B2020-01-15%2B233736.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
They can move the email into another folder and the reminder still pops up... unless they delete it and then you're out of luck. But... you can only do so much! And it's about the most effective thing I've found so far. <br />

Now, the funny thing is this won't make a huge deal for me. I tend to just write my equations out, and if it's for more serious distribution I tend to write it in Word. But for others, this may improve the way they work in OneNote. And I also think I'm not allowed to call it Equation Editor, but I'm going to ignore that.<br />
Make sure you've updated your OneNote (go to the Store and check for any Downloads & Updates).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YJo1YUsiYiI/Xh4kgcHKVbI/AAAAAAABryQ/k57uFcNOJS8Ye1sL1cM6vQLSMbTGtbvCACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B152818.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="220" data-original-width="394" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YJo1YUsiYiI/Xh4kgcHKVbI/AAAAAAABryQ/k57uFcNOJS8Ye1sL1cM6vQLSMbTGtbvCACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B152818.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I recommend folks visit the Store regularly to get any updates. I'm never sure how often it looks for updates on its own and Microsoft has moved to a continual, if gradual update process for all of its apps.<br />
To start entering equations, click on the INSERT ribbon and then on EQUATION. You may think, "why not just click on the Math button?" but that is to translate digital ink or text writing into a mathematical equation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QlGD3Du5vg/Xh4tAxOya9I/AAAAAAABrzo/G8fEFToHoa05MrPP3c5BiKqnQ82s5WfhACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Bar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="146" data-original-width="1003" height="92" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QlGD3Du5vg/Xh4tAxOya9I/AAAAAAABrzo/G8fEFToHoa05MrPP3c5BiKqnQ82s5WfhACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Bar.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When you click on EQUATION a sidebar panel opens up and you get a nice 3-tab compact Equation Editor layout; one tab for <i>Recent</i>, one for <i>Symbols </i>and one for <i>Structures</i>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SNRjItL56SM/Xh4l4Uau0PI/AAAAAAABryk/kHyKEhu9Q0QYRHE89Q5G38dKDWvO24_FwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B153325.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="631" data-original-width="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SNRjItL56SM/Xh4l4Uau0PI/AAAAAAABryk/kHyKEhu9Q0QYRHE89Q5G38dKDWvO24_FwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B153325.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I think every math teacher appreciates <i>Recent</i>, given how often in a unit we re-use the same notation, whether it be quadratics or Calculus.<br />
Something that may be overlooked is how to re-size the notation. Select the box that the equation is in (or select the equation itself) and go to the HOME ribbon and change the size there (just like you would change any font text).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RESAhuYo0Dc/Xh4nDJByp1I/AAAAAAABryw/WDo8pFn2krMZuAffmMjhLKrdsCgRJ87QACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B153822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="552" data-original-width="998" height="353" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RESAhuYo0Dc/Xh4nDJByp1I/AAAAAAABryw/WDo8pFn2krMZuAffmMjhLKrdsCgRJ87QACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B153822.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Otherwise, Equation Editor works in the same way, just the panels are on the right instead of the top as in Word/2016 OneNote. And another nice thing is that the equations are cut-and-paste-able back and forth between OneNote, Word and PowerPoint.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When you're entering the equations via Equation Editor, if you select the equation and click on the MATH button (on the DRAW or INSERT ribbon) you will have access to the "smart" part of OneNote that will do the step-by-step solutions or graph the equations.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KtBB6k3W7_Y/Xh4r-uuqKnI/AAAAAAABrzc/JmhbwxapgDYjewtI9JQKLCnonA2YS1K9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B155924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="836" height="288" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KtBB6k3W7_Y/Xh4r-uuqKnI/AAAAAAABrzc/JmhbwxapgDYjewtI9JQKLCnonA2YS1K9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Annotation%2B2020-01-14%2B155924.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
And don't forget that you can always just digital ink your equation and then go to the DRAW or INSERT ribbons and select the equation and click the MATH button ... it will let you choose INK TO MATH and change your inked equation into Equation Editor:<br />

I use whiteboards a lot in class - fortunately all of my walls save the windows are covered in whiteboards. Typically all of my students (~20) are up at the boards for at least part of each class and occasionally for the entire class. For example, today in my MCR3U class I put trig identities to prove on slips of paper and had partners pull one and solve it on the whiteboard, pasting images of the whiteboard solutions in our class OneNote (and then they pulled another question from the pile).<br />
What we need, though, is a way to clean the boards off quickly between questions. Now, we don't have a whole bunch of whiteboard erasers (they are costly, for sure, and plastic -- we don't have our own classrooms so every teacher would have to bring 10-20 erasers around with them) so I have always been looking for alternatives.<br />
Things I've tried:<br />
<ol>
<li>Old towels. I would rip them into squares. They work really well but they went missing all the time. In part, it was other classes taking them but the cleaners would also remove them from the class. Our school cleaners are excellent and the school prides itself on how things look, so a bunch of ripped rags are not sightly.</li>
<li>Socks. I bought a 40-sock pack of kids athletic (short) socks and they were great! But, same problem! The cleaners would find a "dirty" sock and throw it out (which, I guess, you'd want them to do).</li>
<li>Plastic bags. This was a surprise -- I had no erasers of any kind left so when we were working I just grabbed a Walgreens bag I had used to bring in some cookies and sure enough, it cleaned off the board! These are nicely compressible and it was nice to be able to re-used them for something.</li>
</ol>
In any case, I'm still on the hunt for something that will work better. Even the erasers break down - but they break down into plastic particles and I'm not sure that's the best.

So, when I worked on the Word document in my previous blog post on Restricting Editing (here) the Word Document had several Previous Versions, snapshots of my work in progress, stored in my OneDrive alongside the most current version. And I can bring them back, or compare them with the current version pretty easily.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--iNABZlLF38/XhQIoO6Uv8I/AAAAAAABros/GrXb7Y7_TPg5JBBna_EM1hK1N_BD-_avgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="967" height="424" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--iNABZlLF38/XhQIoO6Uv8I/AAAAAAABros/GrXb7Y7_TPg5JBBna_EM1hK1N_BD-_avgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232540.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Open up your document in the Word applications as usual, then click on FILE and choose INFO.<br />
You'll see a button called VERSION HISTORY... go ahead and click on that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6qh5NKFgY9c/XhQIoA1wJOI/AAAAAAABrow/GaXgMC1fQrQFSzJS8AdtrETPb6Z_rg5lwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="643" data-original-width="973" height="422" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6qh5NKFgY9c/XhQIoA1wJOI/AAAAAAABrow/GaXgMC1fQrQFSzJS8AdtrETPb6Z_rg5lwCEwYBhgL/s640/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232548.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You will flip back into the Word Application and see the list of the different timed versions along the left. You can click the Open Version that is below each version and that version will open in a new application window so you can then edit, save under a new name, grab content you had deleted by mistake, etc.<br />
Now, what if your current version isn't working and you can't open it in Word? Well, all of this is available online inside of OneDrive. So head on over to Office.com and click on OneDrive.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gV6aA_McGnI/XhQJdqww3AI/AAAAAAABrpE/cNWoqeKuDoEG0F2dqWmQ6pT4YiKFXdxfQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232917.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="825" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gV6aA_McGnI/XhQJdqww3AI/AAAAAAABrpE/cNWoqeKuDoEG0F2dqWmQ6pT4YiKFXdxfQCEwYBhgL/s640/Annotation%2B2020-01-06%2B232917.jpg" width="550" /></a></div>
<br />
Click on the 3-dot menu next to the name of your document (or Excel or PowerPoint) and choose VERSION HISTORY. It will open up a panel to the right and you'll be able to click and open it to continue editing. Notice you can also RESTORE it as the current version. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This Previous Version has saved my bacon (and other people's bacons) a couple of times when we've removed paragraphs and then realized we've wanted to actually use that portion. So flip over to the Previous Version, pull out what you want and drop it into the current version.<br />

As you likely know, when you share a document with someone, you can either give them Read Only (they can't make ANY changes or they get Edit (they can make any changes they want). But what if you want a little more control?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Open up your Word document in Word desktop (this is too sophisticated for Word Online). Head on over to the REVIEW tab and in the Protect section, what we're looking for here is Restrict Editing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
When I click on Restrict Editing, a side menu
pops out and you have a few options. The first option is to limit them to formatting (I've never had the need to do that -- I'm sure in a production environment, it may be useful). In the 2nd section you can set it so that nobody can make any changes (which is really "Read Only" that we're used to) or you can define individuals or groups that can have rights to edit. Caveat : if you set it to Read Only for Everyone - that includes YOU (which is different from sharing a document Read Only).</div>

Where it gets interesting is that you can select parts of the document that folks CAN edit. In the example above, I selected both the 2nd paragraph and the 2nd cell in the table. When I click on "Start Enforcing Protection" a small window pops up asking for a password -- enter something you'll remember, because there's NO WAY to get it back! -- and then boom... everybody can edit those two parts of the document and no other. The edit-able content is highlighted in a <span style="background-color: yellow;">light yellow </span>and [bracketed]. You can also use the buttons to move between the editable-fields in the case it's a long document.</div>

Under the Editing Restrictions option you do have the ability to let them do Comments but not let them edit any of the text (this can come in real handy because people will comment & change things and then the comments don't make any more sense to the next person. You can also restrict them to just filling in forms, but I don't know many people who use Word Forms successfully (for some reason, people use PDFs and they're equally as annoying).</div>

The other thing you can specify access by the individual (once you've shared it with them) which gives you a lot more granular control than just Edit/Read Only privileges.</div>

It tries to give you helpful feedback on your presenting skills based on your own PowerPoint and the words, phrasing and elocution you use.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1709382141886834329" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4rGJ-SqycHs/XhEQk2I3AyI/AAAAAAABrlA/t1FlCboHw60KXhEhn2wrpxHoU6lNNtDAgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/2020-01-04_17-17-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1007" height="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4rGJ-SqycHs/XhEQk2I3AyI/AAAAAAABrlA/t1FlCboHw60KXhEhn2wrpxHoU6lNNtDAgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/2020-01-04_17-17-05.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
First... make your PowerPoint. You can make it in Desktop PowerPoint, iPad PowerPoint, Mac PowerPoint or Online PowerPoint (or whatever version of PowerPoint you have!) but to access Presenter Coach, you need to use PowerPoint Online (which is free and tied in to your Office365 or Hotmail/Outlook accounts).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHSteuncKO0/XhEQqSnkdYI/AAAAAAABrlw/9pfMFlhNR_EMriSEU9m6wRPQYxda76PnQCEwYBhgL/s1600/2020-01-04_17-19-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="903" height="254" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WHSteuncKO0/XhEQqSnkdYI/AAAAAAABrlw/9pfMFlhNR_EMriSEU9m6wRPQYxda76PnQCEwYBhgL/s640/2020-01-04_17-19-01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Store your PowerPoint in your OneDrive -- this is the important part -- and then visit http://office.com and click on PowerPoint.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sUhLdnSlwfk/XhEQqG2y4vI/AAAAAAABrmI/FmDWZEII2doyA7uOBBIGgx6hGQviQjfRwCEwYBhgL/s1600/2020-01-04_17-18-50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="747" data-original-width="903" height="528" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sUhLdnSlwfk/XhEQqG2y4vI/AAAAAAABrmI/FmDWZEII2doyA7uOBBIGgx6hGQviQjfRwCEwYBhgL/s640/2020-01-04_17-18-50.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You're now in PowerPoint Online! It gives you the opportunity to make a new PowerPoint and shows you all the PowerPoints you have been working on recently (including those shared with you). Click on the one you want to practice and it will open in a new browser window.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fibrlaiuyr8/XhEQpp-UheI/AAAAAAABrmE/iNXu1rW0IqUUhpgJvxi1u-XAoYgjpiMWwCEwYBhgL/s1600/2020-01-04_17-18-40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="743" data-original-width="1186" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fibrlaiuyr8/XhEQpp-UheI/AAAAAAABrmE/iNXu1rW0IqUUhpgJvxi1u-XAoYgjpiMWwCEwYBhgL/s640/2020-01-04_17-18-40.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can continue to make edits in PowerPoint Online (if you haven't tried PowerPoint Online, it's remarkably good! I think for most people it will do much of what they need -- and it's collaborative!)<br />
<br />
When you're ready to practice, click on SLIDE SHOW and then REHEARSE WITH COACH. It will show your PowerPoint full-screen... and then will fall back into the browser! Because, it has to ask you if you allow the web-browser to use your microphone. <br />

It's going to listen to the speed, clarity and word usage of your presentation as well as the verbal inconsistencies that we tend to not be aware until after we've listened to ourselves. So click ALLOW and then go back and click on REHEARSE WITH COACH again. It should only ask for permission the first time, but it can be a bit annoying and disconcerting when it looks like it's about to work. But, that's security for you!<br />

As you click through your slides, it offers pop-up encouragments as you go (and I think a subtle reminder that you're being recorded). Just keep talking and clicking through any slides or animations and use the same script or conversation (or close to that you plan to do when you actually present).<br />
<br />
When you reach the last slide and hit the black screen at the end of your presentation, click one more time and you'll drop back to PowerPoint with a screen giving you your feedback.<br />

Notice how it's noticed that I'm not reading what's on the screen -- I'm building on what's there, expanding and conceptualizing rather than reciting. My speed is just about right; I'm not rushing or speaking too slowly. And my word usage and lack of filler-words (umms, ahhs, hmms, hunhs, etc) are both good. So this was great! <br />
<br />
Now I'm going to go back in and do a bad job, reading right off the slides and umm'ing and hmm'ing a lot ... As I do my bad job, in the lowr right corner, it does pop up suggestions as I'm going... <br />

At the end of the rehearsal, I get my summary as before:<br />

It lets me know which slides I read directly off of -- maybe I should go back and try to think about the big ideas rather than read a lot of text to people? It picked up on my "hmms" and noticed that I was swearing. Yes, I should explain the swearing.<br />
What Microsoft is looking for is biased language, and in the instant, I could only think of swear words -- which it did catch! But it also looks for things like "fireman" or "handicapped", things that may be taken the wrong way. The full list is below (but like all AI support, it will get smarter) : <br />

Give it a try! My suggestion would be that for any presentation you ask your students to do, they should supply at least one screenshot of a Presenter Coach summary, so that you know that they've practised their work and received external feedback. It may also save a few relationships, having punished those around me with practising my presentations in front of them!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Aside: </b>Now, there are lots of way to get to PowerPoint Online but I like to suggest people get used to going through Office.com -- it shows them all their most common apps and most recently used files as well as anything new or interesting. As you use Office.com it gets to know you and begins to highlight things you might have missed under the "Recommended" area (Office tries to track who you're working with and what they're working on and tries to make sense of your interactions with them to highlight what may be important.)<br />

She's an organizing freak and spent way too many hours clicking away inside the Teams app rearranging all the files into folders. Then I showed her that she can Sync the Teams folder onto her Hard Drive (giving her offline-access anytime!) and use the drag&drop of regular Windows Explorer to keep things organized.<br />
Head over to Teams and go into the Channel that holds your Files, then click on the Files tab. Highlighting does not show on the app; that's me using <a href="https://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2018/10/snip.html" target="_blank">Windows10 Snip</a>.<br />

You'll notice that there's a SYNC option ... when you click on that you will get a pop-up letting you know that the syncing will start. You can choose to sync everything within that Teams Channel or only select particular folders. This can be handy if you want to avoid download all those old video files, say, but always have the textbook and last year's files available even if you're at the cottage without internet.<br />

As you can see, I have a number of different Teams Channels synced -- notice how different Channels within the same Team show up as separate folders (this is a good thing!) <br />
Now, you can treat this folder like any other folder on your hard drive... you can rename, copy/paste, drag, drop, new sub-folder, etc using your mouse and avoid the click-and-click of Teams.<br />
Fair warning... at some point you will accidentally drop a whole new folder by mistake, or, drag out a whole folder that someone else wants. It'll happen. Be careful.

<i>(Remember that all of Office365 -- including Forms and OneNote-- <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/education/products/office" target="_blank">are free to teachers & students</a>)</i><br />
This is a great option for both Forms and Quizzes... you can now ask people to do work in OneNote and then screenclip it (<a href="https://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2018/10/snip.html" target="_blank">using the built-in Windows10 Snip like here</a>) and then upload it alongside their multiple choice selection ... just for example. <br />
It's also useful for asking folks for Word documents (recommendations?), PowerPoints, etc. <br />
<br />
When you create a Form or a Quiz you can have your respondent give you a file (or files). It's hidden under the "more" of the question type:<br />
<br />

When you choose File Upload, you get a pop-up that a folder will be created in your OneDrive; it's under the APPS folder (that may also get created the first time!). The name of the folder is the name of the Form/Quiz. <br />

You can specify the number and maximum size of the files -- and if you choose the 3-dot More you can also specify the type of file (when the user gets the file-upload window, it automatically provides the filter so they only see Word documents in their folder).<br />

When you look at the responses that the users have provided, you can either open each individually from the Responses screen or you can go to the folder in your OneDrive (hint: don't move the files if you want to use them -- copy the folder elsewhere and modify them there). You may not notice it but Forms added on my Name to the filename automatically (I was going to say concatenate but that would have been pretentious).<br />

<br />
Just a hint... you might want to go into Settings on the Form and (a) modify the "Thank You" to indicate that you have the file and (b) send them a email receipt so they can always go back and see which file they uploaded (as well as the rest of their responses). They can't change the file, but it can help ... like when you submit a conference proposal and then can't remember what you wrote! Ask me how I know that example!<br />

After my session at the OAME Conference (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/2019oame">link to Presentation</a>), a few folks asked me how I had put this together, so I'm going to give a brief run-down here. You're always welcome to ask me for more information, of course, if I've been too brief.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-51KduA769-w/XOXy8cFxyfI/AAAAAAABldA/ta2OXnYsEIgqH1OwD0Id4BJqX5vHmhfDACLcBGAs/s1600/microsoft-powerapps.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="505" data-original-width="1024" height="157" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-51KduA769-w/XOXy8cFxyfI/AAAAAAABldA/ta2OXnYsEIgqH1OwD0Id4BJqX5vHmhfDACLcBGAs/s320/microsoft-powerapps.png" width="320" /></a></div>
I used <a href="https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/">Microsoft PowerApps</a> -- it's a <b>quick-and-dirty</b> way to make an app that uses your existing data and then you can muck around with the data, add more and then store it somewhere else. <br />
What's nice is that the Apps are universal -- they work on the laptop, iPad, iPhone & Android phones. There's a web app version so they will work on a Chromebook too! <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
PowerApps are meant for quick development and refinement and for most users and applications in schools<b> it's free</b>. If you're not an Office365 school, or if your school blocks you from using PowerApps, you can sign up for your own Office365 just as a faculty member! (<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/education/products/office">link here</a>) It gives you access to the web-versions of Office as well as all the online spaces of Office365 so much more powerful than GoogleDocs/Drive on its own -- and you can do your own PowerApps, Classnotebooks, Sites, you name it! (I could go into a long story about how I started this project almost two years ago but lost all my work when IT shut down my access to PowerApps but I'm not going to.) You also have access to the power of Azure and Cortana intelligence -- but be careful, there's a cost there (ask me how I know thi$).<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4DTkGrZOUs4/XOX0Mlu2LLI/AAAAAAABldM/tXJlh30EkhoybIbAC-O2igp_OM0S9pTjgCLcBGAs/s1600/2019-05-22_21-13-54.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="396" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4DTkGrZOUs4/XOX0Mlu2LLI/AAAAAAABldM/tXJlh30EkhoybIbAC-O2igp_OM0S9pTjgCLcBGAs/s320/2019-05-22_21-13-54.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed one set of data to start -- <i>who was in each course and who taught that course</i>. That is easy to put together -- a quick Excel spreadsheet of student names, codes, course code & teachers. I also needed the<i> Course Expectations</i> -- I only wanted the General Ones but, since it's in an Excel spreadsheet, I can edit/add expectations all I want! I also created a smaller Excel for the <i>Learning Skills</i> so that I could track those at the same time (I used to use a Microsoft Form but this ties it together - <a href="https://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2017/02/mr-is-always-on-his-phone-in-class.html">link to blog post</a>.)<br />
Then I needed someplace to put the data once I collected it. There are<i> a lot of options<u> </u></i>here ... you could leave it as an Excel spreadsheet. I'm just using an Office365 Site List -- which I can download as an Excel spreadsheet to work with. This means I never touch the real data; I always work with a copy. I also create a Picture Library to store the pictures in, and put a link to each picture in my Site List. I don't imagine I'll use the pictures a lot -- they're just there for backup to reinforce my comments/assessment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jA9_-U96XjM/XOX_qIWv_cI/AAAAAAABlew/6cIxrbLDEbwZCrmJGux0bUxMFal1X5hrgCEwYBhgL/s1600/2019-05-22_21-58-46.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="338" data-original-width="324" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jA9_-U96XjM/XOX_qIWv_cI/AAAAAAABlew/6cIxrbLDEbwZCrmJGux0bUxMFal1X5hrgCEwYBhgL/s320/2019-05-22_21-58-46.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
One caveat to the teachers who use the app -- since I don't do any image compression, they want to be on wifi as it pushes those pictures up to Office365! So all the data is stored in 4 lists, 3 of which are pretty much static (I haven't dealt with students adding/dropping courses or teachers changing... this is meant to be quick & dirty so that may be a manual edit of your class list in Excel.) </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Now off I go to PowerApps ... it's an option when you visit <a href="http://www.office.com/">http://www.office.com</a> and log in with your Office365 account ... or you can go there direct at the <a href="http://powerapps.microsoft.com/">http://powerapps.microsoft.com</a> site. I started from scratch because this started as an experiment in learning PowerApps and got accelerated when a teacher said he wanted the app done yesterday. Remember, there's always an easier way than what I do :) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The PowerApps programs are based on "<b>screens</b>" so I have two screens:<br />
1) a<b> "choose a teacher/course"</b> screen which asks which teacher is using the app and then, from the Excel spreadsheet, the app pulls up the courses for the teacher and they select the one they're in at that moment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9YqRg1Kfo8/XOX5Lz-KOXI/AAAAAAABldw/oTSXShmYIWE9oJGlbSwumOctVZAxgWFxgCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-05-22%2B213601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="784" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9YqRg1Kfo8/XOX5Lz-KOXI/AAAAAAABldw/oTSXShmYIWE9oJGlbSwumOctVZAxgWFxgCLcBGAs/s400/Annotation%2B2019-05-22%2B213601.jpg" width="337" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2) a <b>"create an observation/conversation entry"</b> screen which collects a picture, choose the students, sets the expectation/learning skill, gives a 0-5 rubric number and adds a comment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C2QWafCdzg8/XOX7y9jDkEI/AAAAAAABleU/5EeUDGtnzfcejbxYj8fsMEOX2hIN_bAVQCLcBGAs/s1600/2019-05-22_21-41-37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="919" data-original-width="515" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C2QWafCdzg8/XOX7y9jDkEI/AAAAAAABleU/5EeUDGtnzfcejbxYj8fsMEOX2hIN_bAVQCLcBGAs/s640/2019-05-22_21-41-37.jpg" width="358" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"></span>The main sequence is RED -- Choose the student <span style="color: red;">(1)</span> and the General Expecation <span style="color: red;">(2)</span>, assign a value to the observation/conversation <span style="color: red;">(3)</span> since the Ministry Inspector wants us to be able to say if/how it affects their reported grade (0 indicates you're not giving them a value obviously and then we use a 1-5 rubric at my school) then write a comment <span style="color: red;">(4)</span> in the Rich Text field since we sometime like to <b>add emphasis </b>and click SAVE <span style="color: red;">(5)</span>. This pushes all this data into the List on Office365. If you want to do a Learning Skill instead of an Expectation, tap the SWAP button <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>(1)</b></span> and you'll see the Learning Skills list. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can add a picture by tapping the picture <b><span style="color: purple;">(1) </span></b>and then the capture button <span style="color: purple;"><b>(2)</b></span>. That puts the image you captured in the middle of the screen <b><span style="color: purple;">(3) </span></b>so that if you don't like what you have you can capture a new one. No, you can't do more than one picture right now but it's not an impossible change. I thought about adding audio (an easy add) but video is another issue entirely.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That's it! The CLEAR button and the X button are used to either re-use the picture/comment for another student (if they're working on the same problem or involved in the same conversation, say) or reset the entire screen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now, the coding goes on each of the objects on each screen. To give you an idea, here's the first screen: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rPSqIYuS9Z8/XOX-xpIKknI/AAAAAAABleg/PF9AgG31RSogZRptVf0DGkWmTckK05DyACLcBGAs/s1600/2019-05-22_21-56-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="1079" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rPSqIYuS9Z8/XOX-xpIKknI/AAAAAAABleg/PF9AgG31RSogZRptVf0DGkWmTckK05DyACLcBGAs/s640/2019-05-22_21-56-05.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The initial text box, nothing happens! But when they type in their teacher id and tap OK, then it stores whatever is in the box to the variable for TeacherID, and, at the same time, the Course List gets updated from the Excel spreadsheet of Student/Courses/Teachers to only show those courses from this particular teacher. When the teacher selects a course from the now-filled dropdown list and taps OK, then the app stores the courseID into the variable for CourseID and also sends them off to the next screen where they fill in the Comment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now, yes, this is the easiest screen so I'll pull apart the next screen in my next blog post.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLkZxH_h9tw/XOXwxpBQxfI/AAAAAAABlco/5PhdpfUlOrQo5sV2H4e-OBNxU2RoC3AugCLcBGAs/s1600/1848111_orig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="734" height="146" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLkZxH_h9tw/XOXwxpBQxfI/AAAAAAABlco/5PhdpfUlOrQo5sV2H4e-OBNxU2RoC3AugCLcBGAs/s320/1848111_orig.jpg" width="320" /></a>So every other year we get inspected by the Ministry of Education and her most recent feedback has been that we need a way to record evidence of<b> observations and conversations </b>in our classes -- and provide a structure for how they are included in the grades of our students. Now we have read <b>Growing Success</b> (<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiD9fuGubDiAhUG5awKHb_MCo0QFjAAegQIBBAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.edu.gov.on.ca%2Feng%2Fpolicyfunding%2FgrowSuccess.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3fuUwgXfmILqhWcUZisIfZ" target="_blank">link to PDF</a>), the guide to assessment & evaluation in our province and we thought we were doing really well with discussions, debates, Harkness, one-on-one conversations, videorecordings, student screencasts, Flipgrids, well, you name it.<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWLvAEfgH5g/XOXxs42PpgI/AAAAAAABlc0/sDkEcQSupLk-HAoDnwzeX_cHbD5HdoXWgCLcBGAs/s1600/pocevidence1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1021" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jWLvAEfgH5g/XOXxs42PpgI/AAAAAAABlc0/sDkEcQSupLk-HAoDnwzeX_cHbD5HdoXWgCLcBGAs/s400/pocevidence1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
But NO. She wanted evidence of incidental noticings, conversations-in-passing -- those ephemeral interactions with students that build up our gut-instincts of what a student knows and doesn't yet know, and what causes us to pause when we look at a test or report mark that isn't in line with what we feel about our student. Well -- this is hard to capture because it happens in the moment. We're trying to record it after-the-fact, after class, after school but by its definition, it's in-the-moment. And there are a lot of them; they happen continuously with every interaction with students.<br />
Here's what I've put together as a result:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fxXtPEv6r8/XOU8gMREi9I/AAAAAAABlaw/7_WdIx4LQdgtAhgTJa8GdsEmMJYv48nLACLcBGAs/s1600/Interstitial2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="541" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fxXtPEv6r8/XOU8gMREi9I/AAAAAAABlaw/7_WdIx4LQdgtAhgTJa8GdsEmMJYv48nLACLcBGAs/s640/Interstitial2.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It's an app -- a very simple app that<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Allows you to take a picture (not required)</li>
<li>Choose a student from the current class</li>
<li>Choose between either the course's general expectations (standards) or the Learning Skills we also have to report on</li>
<li>Assign a score of 0 (not scored) to 5 (far exceeds expectations) in case you want to use it for evaluation</li>
<li>Write an open entry </li>
</ol>
<div>
The SAVE saves the content from the screen to an Excel file (the picture goes to a Picture library). </div>
<div>
CLEAR resets the student name and score but not the Picture, Expectation/Learning Skill or comment in case you were working with two or more students on a problem and want to add similar content to another student.</div>
<div>
X resets everything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now this does nothing more than do what other apps already do, except it gives me direct access to the data in an Excel spreadsheet. Once it's in Excel I can now work with the data; I can pull it into PowerBI, connect it to my markbook, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gRMSNVcb44o/XOU-HIMfAPI/AAAAAAABla8/E6LLo992h0cu4ZC4jHC7-270UV_wEatigCLcBGAs/s1600/Inters.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="116" data-original-width="1600" height="46" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gRMSNVcb44o/XOU-HIMfAPI/AAAAAAABla8/E6LLo992h0cu4ZC4jHC7-270UV_wEatigCLcBGAs/s640/Inters.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
What I can also do is connect it to my student list and ask the spreadsheet my most important question:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who have I missed? Who did I not record an observation on? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's very easy to get data, and a lot of data, but it's really hard to recognize that you're missing data! One of my biggest fears is missing something or someone and not valuing their contribution. It's one reason why I use Random Seating & Grouping and use a checklist when asking questions in class so everyone talks at least once in each class.</div>
<div>
So this is what we're trying to capture those passing observations & conversations we have with students. Being on the phone makes it mobile & quick; students are already used to me using the phone for capturing content (see my earlier work with Learning Skills here). Being in Excel means I can work with data in any way I want and ask questions. Down the road, I can use things like sentiment analysis -- what kind of language do I use to describe students? Is there a bias present? How do I phrase things? Once data is in Excel, you can start to ask the questions -- if it's just in your gut, well, it's tougher to do.</div>

Well, I use Excel just to assign my students to one of five tables - at the tables, they can sit in whatever arrangement they prefer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NsG-gY5P6Jw/XMJudA3Bs7I/AAAAAAABk6E/HUuT7K8owbgdNJzd_9f8QxmEPed0jpxbACEwYBhgL/s1600/2019-04-25_22-25-29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="877" data-original-width="1519" height="368" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NsG-gY5P6Jw/XMJudA3Bs7I/AAAAAAABk6E/HUuT7K8owbgdNJzd_9f8QxmEPed0jpxbACEwYBhgL/s640/2019-04-25_22-25-29.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Well, she wasn't happy with that so asked if she could have a tool that she could design her seating arrangment (sometimes a U, sometimes groups, sometimes rows/columns) and have the students randomly assigned in that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x7XOwJOTIqQ/XMJudB66RBI/AAAAAAABk6I/VAcyqQYaJXQvtFITAtVgQRoHw1pEkOTIACEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="999" height="161" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x7XOwJOTIqQ/XMJudB66RBI/AAAAAAABk6I/VAcyqQYaJXQvtFITAtVgQRoHw1pEkOTIACEwYBhgL/s640/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222812.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Well I did a few searches online and there were a few apps but many of them cost money (no way, buddy) so during a class coverage where the students had free work time (i.e. I didn't have to actual teach or ensure they were doing something) I whipped up an Excel macro (well, VBA, but you know what I mean) that would let her design the seating map and then drop the students in randomly. <br />
You are welcome to download the Zip file and use/edit it as you like : <a href="https://onenoteschool-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/p/calarmstrong/EY6IT7yPbJdCmxn1mQzFznsB290f7d1SbsXKLNQed7iJtg?e=gv4gd5" target="_blank">link to download</a>. <br />
The process aims to be straightforward (the teacher did say later in the day that it was the best email she had ever received).<br />
0) Open the spreadsheet in Excel and click ENABLE MACROS (otherwise the NEW button won't work.) <br />
1) Put in your student list<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6ph9GlFbBzQ/XMJudpto63I/AAAAAAABk6M/8KPyqwCNANMNIebW_xctmqwZNQqg57-WwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="664" height="302" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6ph9GlFbBzQ/XMJudpto63I/AAAAAAABk6M/8KPyqwCNANMNIebW_xctmqwZNQqg57-WwCEwYBhgL/s400/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222844.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
2) Design your map. The only requirement is that you need have a "seat" (cell) numbered 1 through to the number of students in your class, no repeats. These will get replaced with the randomized students. The teacher has already created a map of the U shape, the four-table groups and a row/column for testing. Just copy the Seating sheet and design your classroom!<br />

<br />
3) Click the NEW button. It will create a new sheet dated with today's date with the randomized students shown. You can project, print or email this sheet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7XOwJOTIqQ/XMJudB66RBI/AAAAAAABk6Y/g2ys88HOvl0xC_VcPyTXqLuAz8ZDI7g0gCEwYBhgL/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="999" height="162" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7XOwJOTIqQ/XMJudB66RBI/AAAAAAABk6Y/g2ys88HOvl0xC_VcPyTXqLuAz8ZDI7g0gCEwYBhgL/s640/Annotation%2B2019-04-25%2B222812.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

That's it. Let me know if you find this useful.<br />

<i>(from the Excel file, the Instructions sheet)</i><br />
Random Seating Plan Generator <br />Instructions <br />Any questions? @sig225 on Twitter or calarmstrong AT onenoteschool.com<br /> <br />Class Lists <br />Fill up the student list with your class list, one per cell in the B column of the ClassList Sheet, up to 50 students. <br />The sheet counts your class list so you don't need to change the number at the top of the sheet. <br />Seating Maps <br />Use the sheet to design your seat arrangements -- it doesn't matter how it's designed or how much space you use. <br />You can color code, fill, use fonts, italics, add images, whatever. I use the BORDER to indicate the "seat" for each student but feel free to get creative. <br />The ONLY requirement is that you have each cell that represents a seat be numbered 1 through your # of students (no repeats). <br />If you want a student to always be in a particular seat, do not put them in the class list but instead put their name in the seat you want them in. <br /> <br />You can have as many different seating arrangements as you want -- but it will only let you have one seating arrangement per day (it overwrites the day). <br />You can delete the daily sheet if you don't want to save it but don't delete your Seating maps - they can be re-used (and cut-and-pasted between Classes). <br />When cutting & pasting between classes be sure not to copy the NEW button -- just the seats! <br />
If you want an additional seating map, right-click the SEATING tab and chooose MOVE <br />Then, in the PopUp click on CREATE A COPY and click OK. <br />You can rename the "Seating" sheet to match your needs. <br />Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709382141886834329.post-722438103139235742019-03-25T23:54:00.001-04:002019-03-25T23:54:09.994-04:00Choose your own... PD.When we return from March Break, we tend to have a teacher-only day of PD and meetings. The admin had broken the faculty into 3 groups for two sessions and hadn't planned anything for the third so I suggested I run a tech PD.<br />
Since this would be my swan song as the tech guy I wanted to do something interesting but also to value the time of the teachers. I would have 30-40 teachers at a time, so I knew I couldn't do a workshop or a "presentation" of tech so I turned to an idea I've had before -- a Choose Your Own Adventure PD. Why? Well, I haven't had any time to give them PD this year so I had a lot of things to share, I wanted to make sure they found it profitable, and I wanted it to be something different than what they'd done before. (I've talked about Choose Your Own Adventure <a href="http://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2017/11/using-onenote-to-create-choose-your-own.html" target="_blank">earlier on this blog here</a>.) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kjXBRppI4GA/XJmOWP_FWBI/AAAAAAABkEk/IxGRMptkZR8HBVhWQ5qVaAlC6wXCITcJACLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B214105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="635" data-original-width="310" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kjXBRppI4GA/XJmOWP_FWBI/AAAAAAABkEk/IxGRMptkZR8HBVhWQ5qVaAlC6wXCITcJACLcBGAs/s320/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B214105.jpg" width="156" /></a></div>
I had a long list of things that were new, new-er or just hadn't reached universality. I was a little restricted because IT doesn't like me sharing things that aren't approved, so I only did things I had sent out previously or were automatically included in our Office365 subscription (and hadn't been turned off). As you can see, I didn't get to include everything on my list. As it was, people did say it looked like a lot, but the idea was not to get through everything! <br />
<br />
I opened up OneNote and created a new Notebook. I did use my personal Onedrive because the School doesn't allow us to share outside of our school and I knew I wanted to share it. I kept it to just one Section -- although I considered making multiple Sections so I could password-protect some pages to make it a little more break-out like (and to avoid people peeking at what pages to go to if I had made up a stronger narrative).<br />
I also kept a piece of scribble paper next to me so that I could keep track of the CYOA map of the exercise. (I would have not needed the scribble paper but I was working on my desktop and not my pen-enabled laptop... I wanted the three monitors of space to be more efficient in searching, copying/pasting and image editing).<br />
<br />
I wrote the first page and started to scribble down the branching on the CYOA map.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B_-Lbvi-9vg/XJmEDhuQwuI/AAAAAAABkEA/b5qXCyXI5IYJ5wrSYIQPlxCfBNuncFZdwCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B213027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="415" data-original-width="757" height="350" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B_-Lbvi-9vg/XJmEDhuQwuI/AAAAAAABkEA/b5qXCyXI5IYJ5wrSYIQPlxCfBNuncFZdwCLcBGAs/s640/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B213027.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The option I wanted to make sure I included was an opt-out. I really respect our faculty -- they're bright, talented and curious, but they aren't always invested in what I'm invested in, and that's okay. So I wanted them to feel free to explore any tech avenue that interested them, not just those that I had lined up. They were welcome to do whatever they wanted tech-oriented so long as they reflected & shared what they learned in a Teams message later. As it turned out, none of them did that! They all did something in the CYOA.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c1nCzsAvg-k/XJme4zXjXNI/AAAAAAABkFw/ba1wFxjd3ysK1-uRvarAJG9_CCXUKVCwACLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B231625.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="306" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c1nCzsAvg-k/XJme4zXjXNI/AAAAAAABkFw/ba1wFxjd3ysK1-uRvarAJG9_CCXUKVCwACLcBGAs/s400/Annotation%2B2019-03-25%2B231625.jpg" width="151" /></a></div>
Then I broke it up into 3 (later 4) options and started to add pages from there. There was no overall pattern, although I did make a path for "Accessibility Tools" and one for "PowerPoint Tools". The first door let to <a href="https://products.office.com/en-us/business/myanalytics-personal-analytics" target="_blank">MyAnalytics</a>, which is the newest and most (potentially controversial) tool added to our Office365. I did throw in a couple of (literally) dead-ends where the teacher ran into a "sorry, you were killed" just to maintain the CYOA atmosphere. <br />
I added the pages and did the internal linking (so easy -- just right-click and Get Link to Page & then paste it in as the link). I used a lot of pre-made videos from YouTube to provide them with assistance (thankfully, YouTube lets you start an embedded video at a particular time). I kept the videos to under five minutes so that the teachers wouldn't feel oppressed. I also created tasks for some of the more complicated tools, so they'd have something concrete to try.<br />
While I built the Notebook, I named all the pages with helpful names for me but then, just before I did the PD, I replaced all the names with random Emojis and then randomly sorted the Pages so that they weren't in any kind of "room" order. I really wanted to reinforce the CYOA metaphor. And it was funny because one teacher asked the room "How do I get back to Zoom?" and the other teacher shouted back "You have to go through Morph!".<br />
After we were done the three sessions, I went back in to the OneNote and labelled all the pages with the content so that the teachers could use the OneNote as a PD resource without having to engage with the CYOA. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tnm-eWSHD4Y/XJmhc-aj3yI/AAAAAAABkF8/j7qnxehw5NQIOLbIcZjethKVB0qV1TXVwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Untitled%2Bpicture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1121" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tnm-eWSHD4Y/XJmhc-aj3yI/AAAAAAABkF8/j7qnxehw5NQIOLbIcZjethKVB0qV1TXVwCEwYBhgL/s320/Untitled%2Bpicture.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
The last five minutes of the session I did make a reminder that throughout the Notebook I had dropped signs (with links) that they should share and reflect on what they learned on our Faculty Teams discussion, and it was good to see at least half of them took the time to do that. It's helpful to know what they felt was important and that they appreciated the different format. <br />
You are more than welcome to flip through the Notebook here : <a href="http://bit.ly/cyoamar25">http://bit.ly/cyoamar25</a> or you can download it here as a OneNote package: <a href="http://bit.ly/cyoamar25download">http://bit.ly/cyoamar25download</a> <br />
Obviously, some of the content is specific to my School (the Teams links, for one) but you're welcome to repurpose this as needed.<br />
<br />
Things that intrigued me throughout this PD:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Nobody spent the entire time on their own thing. The first session (of three) was the most socially chatty, but then, they'd been away for a two week holiday. The other two were far more serious. Sure, there were folks answering some emails or doing some "off-task" reading but my continual surveying of the room made it clear that this was far more efficient than me leading a workshop from the front.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FffVXM35gWk/XJmbtIt5qNI/AAAAAAABkFg/nkyeVLs-KlIX_kLQPt-IfW6NyPzs7O67QCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20190325_121428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FffVXM35gWk/XJmbtIt5qNI/AAAAAAABkFg/nkyeVLs-KlIX_kLQPt-IfW6NyPzs7O67QCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20190325_121428.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</li>
<li>There was a good bit of prep time. For an hour of PD, I spent about eight hours putting this all together. It would have been longer because I would have preferred to make my own videos but I found enough that were sufficiently focused on the tasks I wanted them to practice. Much of it was futzing and finding the right content. I built it over March Break so I likely spent more time than actually necessary.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/paint-3d/9nblggh5fv99" target="_blank">Paint3D </a>is tough! Folks are okay with 2D drawing but 3D has a steep initial learning curve. Once they jump it (about 30 minutes) they're fine, but don't underestimate the challenge to start. What was funny was that the artist below did a nice job on the front of the fish and then I said "Did you paint the back?" and she said "Oh, right! It's 3D" and she figured out how to pan around to the other side. Then, when you hit the "mixed reality" button and they see their design floating in space ahead of them, it's a <i>wow </i>moment.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li><a href="http://to-do.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Microsoft ToDo</a> was crazy successful - the most popular "I've been waiting for something like this" response. It's nice that it's strongly integrated into the rest of Office365 and is "smart". </li>
<li>They liked the freedom to do what they want; the format was a success. I wouldn't do it all the time, but this seemed well placed.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-whiteboard/9mspc6mp8fm4" target="_blank">Microsoft Whiteboard </a>was also very popular -- for one, because it's so collaborative that they liked playing with others.

<li>My time, both in planning beforehand and during the session, was well spent. During the session, I just walked around and answered questions, or made a note of something to research.</li>
<li>I knew it was successful when I had to tell them to leave (because the other group was at the door or it was lunch time). </li>
<li>The biggest challenge -- IT had blocked every external app, but they had done it after I had registered for all of them (we use to have more freedom) so it was a rude surprise when we realized that folks who hadn't signed up were blocked. Hopefully, they'll unblock things so that teachers can use the Microsoft tools we used to have access to. </li>

I have an Excel spreadsheet (<a href="https://learningandteaching-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/calarmstrong_learningandteaching_onmicrosoft_com/Eef36cmRh1xAs0et87WpIFMBreX6OTH4Mdjlhwg708gX5g?e=gHtkNh" target="_blank">link</a>) that takes my class list and randomly assigns them to a 4-seater table (2 tables that seat two students). I project it at the beginning of class as they walk in. And I use 5 plastic covered letters to randomly place the groups inside the space.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z1fePd-6Y1o/W_36eEeqD0I/AAAAAAABhZs/XRbhecxoT8wSRNrCD80P1_juI_Lj3ziSQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20170505_151200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="1600" height="450" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z1fePd-6Y1o/W_36eEeqD0I/AAAAAAABhZs/XRbhecxoT8wSRNrCD80P1_juI_Lj3ziSQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_20170505_151200.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Now, my classroom has one fixed projector and the rest of the room is either whiteboard or window -- both vertical surfaces are used to write on, and the tables have been explicitly purchased so that the surfaces are write-able. So while we do a lot of work seated they will also go to the whiteboards individually or in pairs (the table seating decide the pairs).<br />
While the pedagogical reasons for using visibly random grouping are laid out in the attached article above, I bring it up because of what happened the other day. Someone else had used my room for a discussion and had left the classroom tables all in a U. So I shrugged and thought I'd try something different... as the kids walked in, and said "just sit wherever you'd like in the U". Now, I have three classes of Grade 10 students in a row and in each class, they sat down in a gender split, boys on one side, girls on the other and within that split, the second language students sat on the outside of the U. As we began class, I pointed out to the students the manner in which they were sitting (leaving out the 2nd language issue) and why it was that I let the universe decide the way they would sit.<br />
We once had an exchange student speak to the faculty and she recommended a seating plan because of the 2nd language issue -- if you don't structure a way to incorporate an outsider, it makes it difficult for them to work their way into the group. Continually mixing them up and bringing different people together helps break down barriers.<br />
<i>Are there other problems that arise?</i> Oh yes ... the universe can decide to put all the energetic boys together on a Friday afternoon. Or they can put all the quiet students together and very little ever surfaces as they all work on the problems independently in spite of my structures & cajoling. But in the long run (<i>as random things in the universe tends to</i>) the benefits outweigh these minor problems.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIv77roIN78/W_36d_gbT9I/AAAAAAABhZo/UKu6H59pPFwIxjnksrtTiDU2hqaQbH3GACLcBGAs/s1600/xIMG_20171122_112106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="976" data-original-width="1301" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIv77roIN78/W_36d_gbT9I/AAAAAAABhZo/UKu6H59pPFwIxjnksrtTiDU2hqaQbH3GACLcBGAs/s640/xIMG_20171122_112106.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<i>Do I ever cheat? </i>No. I always let the random feature of Excel decide. That said, I have had conditions imposed outside the classroom ("Johnny is not allowed to sit next to Timmy") so I will sometimes press F9 ("recalculate spreadsheet") until those external conditions are met. And if students need to sit close to the projector, I just shuffle the letters on the tables once the spreadsheet is projected.<br />
<i>Do the kids like it? </i>That answer tends to run 50/50. The students used to great social power tend to hate it; they're used to sitting in a seat that controls the space and highlights their perceived status. The kids who like to hide also hate it, because most of the time they lose their hiding spot. And in the end, I like it because it highlights equity... it's not me imposing a structure. And it encourages them to work with other people, if only for a short while. <br />

Built into Windows10 (right from its initial release!) is the option to <a href="https://education.microsoft.com/gettrained/win10takeatest" target="_blank">TakeATest </a>-- a way to lock down the device to a single web address. It shuts them out from any program or content on their device and restricts them to whatever webpage you direct them to -- the only way to exit is to CTRL-ALT-DELETE back to the login screen. They can't do screen captures, can't open up other pages, print, etc. <br />
In most cases, this has been used to lock down the device and have the student take a <b>Microsoft Forms </b>based assessment (<a href="https://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2017/11/making-microsoft-forms-quizzes-with.html" target="_blank">how? click here</a>) -- the student clicks on the link to the Form and they answer the questions, typically multiple choice, short answer, sorting (all automatically graded) and long answer (not automatically graded abut the teacher can go in and assess). It's a slick little system that our teachers have used and found pretty easy. You get a nice little visual on the results of each of the questions and an Excel spreadsheet to bring into your assessment collection.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But </b></span>I'm a math teacher and,<a href="https://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2016/05/why-google-apps-must-needs-die.html" target="_blank"> in case you haven't noticed</a>, if my students can't use (digital) ink in their learning, then they're not learning properly. Using paper-based assessments and exams is still necessary because we haven't had a strong way of assessing using the appropriate environment. So if I want to assess them, I need to be able to use ink. The challenge is that TakeATest requires only one web-link for the whole class, but each student would need their own private space to work in. <i>Fortunately, the OneNote web app-- and some creativity--to the rescue. </i><br />
I created a OneNote in my school OneDrive with a Section for Instructions. Then I created a Section for each of my students. Then, I went in and permissioned it so that only that student could edit their section. That process is a little clicky right now and you'll notice I'm waving my hand a bit on how to do it until I get it easier -- but given a little bit of work, it can be streamlined or even <b>automated </b>(<i>click here to create a test OneNote for your class</i> kinda thing).<br />
I put a copy of the assessment in the Instructions section and they have to right-click COPY and then go to their section and PASTE it in. (They were a little annoyed that I couldn't just use the Distribute function to put it right into their space but this OneNote is not a ClassNotebook.) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HKqFmYYRVMo/W-zSW2C39uI/AAAAAAABhF4/U-qTkPjKTxoMXDpHrpRu1DEY5OhdK70ZQCEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-11-14_20-01-57.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="1089" height="550" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HKqFmYYRVMo/W-zSW2C39uI/AAAAAAABhF4/U-qTkPjKTxoMXDpHrpRu1DEY5OhdK70ZQCEwYBhgL/s640/2018-11-14_20-01-57.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So now, I just use the SHARE option and use that link to give to the students -- with a little TakeATest magic.<br />
Before you give the link to the student, either by email, posting it in their OneNote or Teams, etc, you add<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">ms-edu-secureassessment: </span><br />
to the beginning and<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">!enforceLockdown</span><br />
to the end of the URL.<br />
If you don't want to do that yourself, you can visit Microsoft's "Make a TakeATest" page here: <a href="https://education.microsoft.com/courses-and-resources/windows-10-create-a-take-a-test-link">https://education.microsoft.com/courses-and-resources/windows-10-create-a-take-a-test-link</a> -- it pushes the correct link into your clipboard for pasting into OneNote (or wherever). <br />
So the students click the link and they get a warning pop-up that this app will make changes to their device (this set them off a bit even though I had warned them this would happen). Then, they have to use their Windows login to get to the actual assessment. It opens full screen with a reminder at the top of the screen that they need to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to exit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VViiI7JbXX8/W-zSbD_MrqI/AAAAAAABhF4/1xmBEeScKSwgFAAGj14IMhegf4ZHvNctQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20181114_113331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VViiI7JbXX8/W-zSbD_MrqI/AAAAAAABhF4/1xmBEeScKSwgFAAGj14IMhegf4ZHvNctQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_20181114_113331.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
OneNote Online has progressed far enough that the inking is quite good - it gives students the freedom to write the same math that they've learned rather than reverting to a keyboard/equation editor, which gets in the way of their understanding.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
When they're all done, I go back to the OneNote and remove their permissions, give them feedback and drag their page into their OneNote ClassNotebook. Like I said earlier, it's a little fiddly right now, but like ClassNotebook, that'll improve over time. <br />
I think it is critically important to assess students in the most active & open environment possible - and that means allowing them to use digital ink in the same way as they've learned. If we force them to use keyboards, or only assess them using limited survey tools, we're missing out on a large part of their understanding.Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709382141886834329.post-52707647250376194532018-11-01T22:41:00.002-04:002018-11-01T22:41:51.828-04:00Post It Notes go universal<br />
Microsoft recently began rolling out an update to their Post-It Note software, which they call StickyNotes - now at version 3. You can get it in the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH4QGHW" target="_blank">Microsoft Store here</a>. For the sake of clarity, I'll continue to refer to them as Post-It Notes -- they're like Kleenex.<br />
What's nice now is that the Notes now sync between devices that are tied to the same Microsoft/Office365 account. So my school laptop, my home desktop and my phone can now access all the same notes all the time. (I did use my personal Microsoft Account rather than my O365 account because I use them for personal reminders and not just academic ones.)<br />
The application is as simple and colourful as you'd expect. You click the + sign to get a new note.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qaeCXWDs4Qs/W9usi9_H-3I/AAAAAAABg4s/G7yd8bX5FDoqUaEymXhYRxH5ddGlLLQwwCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="497" data-original-width="405" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qaeCXWDs4Qs/W9usi9_H-3I/AAAAAAABg4s/G7yd8bX5FDoqUaEymXhYRxH5ddGlLLQwwCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation3.png" /></a></div>
<br />
You'll briefly see a little check mark as the note gets synced to the cloud. There are some basic formatting (<b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, <u>underline</u>, list ... and <strike>strike-out</strike> for when you get things done!). And you can change the colour of the note by clicking on the 3-Dot menu and changing the colour:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--fwSZMYY4Ns/W9utAa41riI/AAAAAAABg40/cSQ1PdqFK2Ut13i0HXDxHv0j4eH6pH3XACLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="160" data-original-width="330" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--fwSZMYY4Ns/W9utAa41riI/AAAAAAABg40/cSQ1PdqFK2Ut13i0HXDxHv0j4eH6pH3XACLcBGAs/s1600/Annotation4.png" /></a></div>
<br />
It's nice that the colour gets synced across devices, too, so I can colour-code my notes. <br />
The dark grey colour is nice because...<b> since this is Microsoft</b>... you can use #digitalink on your Notes! Scribble mathematical formulas, sketch out your world-domination plans, sketch-note your meetings.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WP6B307ettw/W9u1FgkmrSI/AAAAAAABg5M/ZDcAGkqcdj0Oxd5zxf5_MqahEnNhcJgZQCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotati6on.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="406" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WP6B307ettw/W9u1FgkmrSI/AAAAAAABg5M/ZDcAGkqcdj0Oxd5zxf5_MqahEnNhcJgZQCLcBGAs/s1600/Annotati6on.png" /></a></div>
And the Notes are 'smart' -- when you type a date-based reminder, it recognizes the language and suggests making a reminder. When you type a phone number, it sets you up ready to Skype-call (though not Teams call yet!). And when you type an address, it Bing-maps it! One of the characteristics of the new Microsoft is how 'smart' individual elements of your work becomes.<br />

When you close a Note, it does go into your Notes collection, so you won't lose anything if you feel your desktop is getting too crowded. When you're finally done with a Note, you can delete it and then it's gone.<br />

What I really look forward to is this tying more closely into other Office365 apps. I think it's definitely coming, because when you go to the web-app version of your Notes, the address is <a href="http://onenote.com/stickynotes">http://onenote.com/stickynotes</a> ... so shades of things to come! To be honest, I was looking in OneNote for the StickyNotes notebook! <br />

<br /> [So as part of <a href="https://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">NaNoWriMo</a> , I'm dedicating time to blog each day in November]<br />
Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709382141886834329.post-76254498144915590292018-10-03T23:06:00.001-04:002018-10-03T23:06:15.637-04:00Snip&SketchSo the October 2018 Windows 10 Update has provided a <b>new snipping tool</b> ... now, it surprises me that this would be the thing I'm most happy about, but it is! <i>Making things we do very often each day as easy as possible has immediate payoffs in the classroom</i>, so this is a huge leap forward. If your IT Department hasn't yet given you the Update, you can update yourself by <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10" target="_blank">downloading it from here</a>.<br />
Here's what makes the new <b>Snip & Sketch</b> so slick....<br />
Press <b>WINDOWS-SHIFT-S</b><br />
The screen goes grey and along the top you have the option to rectangular, freefom or full-screen clip. I typically use rectangular to grab student content from OneNote or the web.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-18Yty8c2ACs/W7WBGmnbmLI/AAAAAAABf0g/zZtmzqjAbhcLJKj1lnv7HhLDw3a_cytOgCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-10-03_22-42-04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="610" data-original-width="948" height="410" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-18Yty8c2ACs/W7WBGmnbmLI/AAAAAAABf0g/zZtmzqjAbhcLJKj1lnv7HhLDw3a_cytOgCLcBGAs/s640/2018-10-03_22-42-04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Once you've finished the selection, up pops a success note in the Notification area of your screen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-atwaJI_W4/W7WBGpToFcI/AAAAAAABf0w/mrbzZhffWFs2LOrcdKtgypZ5M2I4kDm_QCEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-10-03_22-42-49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-atwaJI_W4/W7WBGpToFcI/AAAAAAABf0w/mrbzZhffWFs2LOrcdKtgypZ5M2I4kDm_QCEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-10-03_22-42-49.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Click on that notification and up pops the Snip&Sketch App (which you can pin to your Taskbar or Start if you want).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8nr7kanoPOc/W7WBG7FaC5I/AAAAAAABf00/pD5i4pCwJCU_mV1xe_LxB6a2YE6ZpayBACEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-10-03_22-44-40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1202" height="482" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8nr7kanoPOc/W7WBG7FaC5I/AAAAAAABf00/pD5i4pCwJCU_mV1xe_LxB6a2YE6ZpayBACEwYBhgL/s640/2018-10-03_22-44-40.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In the app, you can use #digitalink to draw and highlight content -- although I hope they just bring in the OneNote pens too. You can change the colour and width of the pens so there's a great deal of flexibility here.<br />
And then you can either just put it in the Clipboard (which has also been vastly improved), send it to OneNote or to any of your email contacts as an attachment or push it to another photo-editing app. You can also just save it. D'uh. <br />
And, of course, this being Windows10, you get an on-screen ruler that you can spin and move around and your pen will draw perfectly straight lines. <br />

Not original, since similar things have existed elsewhere & when, but a nice option nevertheless.<br />
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-font-maker/9n9209f8s3vc" target="_blank">Microsoft's Font Maker</a> allows you to create your own font using digital ink. You get all 26 characters, numbers and punctuation (for English languages) on which you draw your font for each character. (For me, it's the first 128 printable characters out of the ASCII table!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YMjDx3WH_mo/W7VbgHIlPuI/AAAAAAABfzc/VafRsLURMzMsQvvy4gUnTDxuSjVJHe4zQCLcBGAs/s1600/a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1207" height="498" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YMjDx3WH_mo/W7VbgHIlPuI/AAAAAAABfzc/VafRsLURMzMsQvvy4gUnTDxuSjVJHe4zQCLcBGAs/s640/a.png" width="640" /></a></div>
Using your #digitalink pen, you draw out what you want each character to look like. I just quickly wrote out the alphabet as you can see below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fntZVpaYEIE/W7VjKoc4JeI/AAAAAAABfz0/MdJeHMW4dmwC8ksmigFbxB7KD_r-P-wTACEwYBhgL/s1600/b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1007" data-original-width="1286" height="250" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fntZVpaYEIE/W7VjKoc4JeI/AAAAAAABfz0/MdJeHMW4dmwC8ksmigFbxB7KD_r-P-wTACEwYBhgL/s320/b.png" width="320" /></a></div>
You don't have to do it all at once and you can keep working on your Font as you go; it saves as a JSON Project File which means you can send these between collaborators.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--3TuBRVwQEs/W7VkPm_D1LI/AAAAAAABf0M/wYtPFv0QxwIuxQogUcuOiVSIv0OoZtzqwCEwYBhgL/s1600/h.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="433" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--3TuBRVwQEs/W7VkPm_D1LI/AAAAAAABf0M/wYtPFv0QxwIuxQogUcuOiVSIv0OoZtzqwCEwYBhgL/s1600/h.png" /></a></div>
Once you have your font done, you can adjust the spacing between characters & words to make it look good (it uses a scene from Hamlet -- I'm curious why...)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QowPHBJ6ao4/W7VkBuWIppI/AAAAAAABf0I/P-vg_GZsSvccPFyIjYdjIrERyVUf1xE9QCEwYBhgL/s1600/c.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="966" height="519" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QowPHBJ6ao4/W7VkBuWIppI/AAAAAAABf0I/P-vg_GZsSvccPFyIjYdjIrERyVUf1xE9QCEwYBhgL/s640/c.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then when you click CREATE, you get to save your font as a TrueTypeFont (which means it's available for use on Windows or Mac). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mNUktAagC0M/W7VjKebvbmI/AAAAAAABfz4/5KxkH7PXyyU7kR3nQKv1N7QYX2M7DkTXwCEwYBhgL/s1600/d.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="350" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mNUktAagC0M/W7VjKebvbmI/AAAAAAABfz4/5KxkH7PXyyU7kR3nQKv1N7QYX2M7DkTXwCEwYBhgL/s1600/d.png" /></a></div>
Now my first thought was to hand this off to the Art Department and have them use it to actually create useful and beautiful fonts. <br />
And then there's Elementary Teachers ... surely this would be useful for little ones learning their letters? Putting those dashed characters so that they can copy the letters and get used to making the Bs and Qs. Having the whole font means they can practice on ANY words. <br />
But for me, I thought that it would be useful for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_cipher" target="_blank">substitution ciphers</a>; I remember creating them as a kid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dfHafxxW52U/W7VjK5qwIdI/AAAAAAABfz4/zVlb3PgNOBgErs3gu-3Vbd4gfiecCi-CQCEwYBhgL/s1600/e.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="527" data-original-width="725" height="465" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dfHafxxW52U/W7VjK5qwIdI/AAAAAAABfz4/zVlb3PgNOBgErs3gu-3Vbd4gfiecCi-CQCEwYBhgL/s640/e.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You could then use them for a discussion of Cryptography ... or for creating BreakOuts. One thing I know is that when you have an easy and quick tool to make digital content, teachers find cool ways to use it!

The Windows10 version of OneNote (and OneNote Online) both include a <i>People Presence</i> option to show you who else is working in the same Notebook/ClassNotebook.<br />

And then, when I flipped over into our <a href="http://continuousformation.blogspot.com/2018/08/our-faculty-onenote.html" target="_blank">Faculty OneNote</a>, I had one teacher looking at how to send emails to parents for one of her extracurricular programs (in our Tech Help section), while one was working on our Student Leadership Conference and the other two working on incoming pages.<br />

While there is an aspect to this of "surveillance", it's meant to energize collaboration. <br />
In the ClassNotebook, it keeps me aware of when and how students work if I happen to be watching. It's particularly interesting when I'm working late at night and I see students active in my ClassNotebook -- in typical hypocritical fashion, I encourage them to work earlier and get some sleep.<br />
I look forward to this user-behavior data to be available for discovery, since it's something that the <a href="https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph" target="_blank">OfficeGraph</a> (link likely not helpful) & <a href="https://products.office.com/en-us/business/myanalytics-personal-analytics" target="_blank">MyAnalytics</a> (link likely very helpful and informative) would be able to include. Knowing (well, kinda) how long a student worked on a OneNote page, and what path they took as they build their content, is something I don't know now and may provide additional information about the student, how they learn, and what they understand.Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709382141886834329.post-88646923276762087382018-09-15T20:10:00.000-04:002018-09-15T20:10:33.936-04:00Teacher as Student in Anonymous DesmosI thought that everybody did this!

So this was my <a href="https://xkcd.com/1053/" target="_blank">XKCD 10,000</a> moment this week. I happened to <a href="https://twitter.com/sig225/status/1040603484066787329" target="_blank">tweet the following</a> -- and I think it's my popular tweet of all time.

The year is just starting and students aren't yet used to the expectations of responses when we do a Desmos activity, I've found I've had to <a href="https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/prime+the+pump" target="_blank">prime the pump</a> sometimes.<br />
I am logged into Desmos as the teacher and I project the Dashboard on the projector. I try to get to the dashboard as quickly as possible so that I can click Anonymize, which makes the students' login names those of famous mathematicians/scientists/engineers. <i>(Suggestion to Desmos -- it would be nice to be able to enter an activity with Anonymous turned on.)</i> This means students can make errors without making them publicly although invariably, some students will yell out their pseudonym.<br />

Then I use the PAUSE button on the wireless projector software to freeze the projected image-- this way I can do other things on my tabletPC while I'm walking around the room. If you haven't used wireless projection with a pen-based Win10 TabletPC, then you haven't experienced teaching!<br />

One of those things I do while paused is opening up a InPrivate Window (Incognito if you use Chrome) that doesn't "know" that I'm logged into Desmos as the teacher with my teacher account. <br />

<br />
Then I log in as a Guest and get assigned a pseudonym. Since all the students are already logged in, I'm at the bottom of the list, off screen so they don't really notice me. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I jump around and enter the answers that I want to make sure get included, or phrasing that I want to call attention to AFTER the students have entered theirs -- I think it's important to have them make the mistake or show the excellence first. If I'm not needed, there's nothing to add. But I always remember Gail Burrill talking to us<a href="https://projects.ias.edu/pcmi/" target="_blank"> at PCMI </a>--<i> if the students don't give you the solution you're hoping for in a problem solving situation, make up a student from another section and show them the solution you want. </i> It's a little dis-honest, I'll admit, but it removes me as the centre of attention (<i>look, kids, how smart am I with this solution you should follow!</i>) and encourages them that students can do good mathematics. I don't give them the name; they know I value their privacy and even when projecting student solutions in OneNote, I ask permission and hide the names. And, to be honest, across three sections, eventually I get what I want, but since it's not always the right time, I just have to nudge things the way I want.<br />
Finally, while I appreciate that Desmos has added <a href="http://learn.desmos.com/snapshots/" target="_blank">the SnapShot feature</a>, we've always used a Windows-Shift-S screen capture of student content in Desmos to paste right into OneNote -- because then we can write on top of it, pulling out or adding the ideas we want to bring together. It also gives a permanent record for the student of the activities major learning goals without having to go back into Desmos when they're working. This documentation is really important for Desmos activities... too often, I've seen the activities used with no record to reflect on. <br />

We start late, and we only see them for 3 hours a week, so yes, we move a little slow.<br />
I had set them some review problems in Grade 9 Math, mostly questions of simple algebra, linear equations, graphs of lines, etc. And had them work on the questions about as freely as I could -- but since they're new, they didn't express much freedom. They didn't talk much, they certainly didn't talk to each other, and they didn't check their work with each other. <b>This will change.</b> I had deliberately told them that I did not put the answers at the bottom of the OneNote page and that they would have to check their work somehow.<br />
Ten minutes in, I did a screen capture of a student's work from their OneNote Section and pasted it into my OneNote page for the day and asked them "<i>How does the student know they're correct</i>?"<br />

The obvious answers came up:<br />
<ul>
<li>Do it again</li>
<li>Check with another student</li>
<li>Ask me</li>
</ul>
And then one student said they would google the answer. Great! So we googled<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iTnRe5u4Dgo/W5sDNeY3NKI/AAAAAAABfUY/R8q7t2KCb9M0T4aV_f6-EE9NeOgAQ6PNwCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-13_20-38-59.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="799" height="472" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iTnRe5u4Dgo/W5sDNeY3NKI/AAAAAAABfUY/R8q7t2KCb9M0T4aV_f6-EE9NeOgAQ6PNwCLcBGAs/s640/2018-09-13_20-38-59.png" width="640" /></a></div>
This was going to waste a lot of time ... none of these were our questions and we're only asking for "is the answer correct?"<br />
Another student brought up Khan Academy, so we tried that.<br />
Typing in the question 2x-3y+5 when x = -2 and y = 3 into the search box gave us nothing. A student said we should just type in "simplifying expressions" (which was interesting because the question said evaluate). But we tried that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UQTD5vvWNvA/W5sEnQxwD8I/AAAAAAABfUs/zTz9_FuqbSguCI5XvprCmP6QYdP8EolvgCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-13_20-45-03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="816" height="476" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UQTD5vvWNvA/W5sEnQxwD8I/AAAAAAABfUs/zTz9_FuqbSguCI5XvprCmP6QYdP8EolvgCLcBGAs/s640/2018-09-13_20-45-03.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This led us to a 4 minute video on distributing to simplify expressions. A helpful video on a topic which only tangentially applies here. Not very efficient. <br />
So we then talked about other possible technological aids, and across three classes, we brought up the following:<br />
1) <b>WolframAlpha</b> - <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/">http://www.wolframalpha.com</a> <br />
W/A was quick; it gave us the answer we expected. Now, if we wanted to pay we could get the step by step solution, but if the question is, "is the answer correct?" we're good to go.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hatXGhiaGB8/W5sDsO-8YMI/AAAAAAABfUg/2JrwYZvzinMuCYStMPBkpp2p88N1pmNHgCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled%2Bpicture4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="741" data-original-width="988" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hatXGhiaGB8/W5sDsO-8YMI/AAAAAAABfUg/2JrwYZvzinMuCYStMPBkpp2p88N1pmNHgCLcBGAs/s640/Untitled%2Bpicture4.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2) <b>Desmos </b>- <a href="http://www.desmos.com/">http://www.desmos.com</a><br />
This one surprised me... of course, it's going to do the calculation. The interesting question will be when we move into quadratics and algebraic manipulations and how Desmos & the students will adapt to the different requirements of evaluating correctness.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KYhtXk7jddc/W5sFKubO4nI/AAAAAAABfU0/vy-w1PBRkhUksHC_ffEfdb6R53Ksuo3rgCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled%2Bpicture7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="113" data-original-width="592" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KYhtXk7jddc/W5sFKubO4nI/AAAAAAABfU0/vy-w1PBRkhUksHC_ffEfdb6R53Ksuo3rgCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled%2Bpicture7.png" /></a></div>
<br />
3) <b>Photomath </b>- <a href="https://photomath.net/en/">https://photomath.net/en/</a> <br />
When one student brought up Photomath, another student tried to shush him -- like it was some secret that math teachers aren't supposed to know. But yes, Photomath will show whether or not the answer is correct. It's free and it does show the steps. It wouldn't do the substitution but once that was done, it would evaluate just fine.<br />

<br />
4) <b>GraspableMath </b>- <a href="http://www.graspablemath.com/">http://www.graspablemath.com</a> <br />
I brought this one to them in anticipation of our foray into linear systems. It doesn't actually check the answer but it does verify that they're doing their steps correctly, which I kinda like more. It's not the "here's a maybe helpful similar question" that Khan Academy might give you; it's the actual question bounded by the rules of arithmetic & algebra. If the students have attempted something outside the "rules", then GraspableMath isn't going to let them replicate those steps.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I *do* wish that it had #digitalink input so that they could use their pens rather than have to labouriously type out the equation; I hope that's down the road.<br />
I really appreciated Lauren Nelson's (@LENelson49)'s question on Twitter:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think that<br />
(1) letting them know <b>I know these tools exis</b>t ("shhh... don't let Mr. A know about Photomath!") is important. As a general rule, I don't put marks in my mark calculation that come from work done outside of my view -- it's why I use OneNote, Vertical/Horizontal non-permanent surfaces and other observations & conversations so much. I have data of them doing math in front me that I don't rely on homework, worksheets, etc that their parents, their tutors, their apps may be doing for them. <br />
(2) showing them how I <b>use these tools to verify </b>I have correct answer (or solution) validates their existence beyond the "cheating". Professionals use these tools to verify their work; students should get used to always checking their work using any convenient tool -- the greatest authors had to go through an editor.<br />
(3) <b>normalize the fact that they may need support</b> when they are alone - they can't always ask anybody and they don't need to spend the time searching for a perhaps only tangentially helpful video from KhanAcademy/YouTube when they only need to confirm their correctness.<br />
(4) encourage them to<b> use these tools to explore</b> -- what happens when we use higher powers? How complicated can we make the expressions before we break the program (Photomath will tell you it can't solve that question yet)? What do all the other things that WolframAlpha brings up mean? W/A will bring up any mathematics related to your question, so when we moved into quadratics, graphs, imaginary values and calculus come up quite often.<br />
This was a really simple question to verify the answer to, but by doing it with something really simple, it helps move them into situations where the expressions & equations are more complicated.

Remember that Office365 level A1 is free for schools, teachers & students and the tools you do get are very powerful -- <a href="https://products.office.com/en-ca/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans" target="_blank">you can check it out here</a>. But if you are a paid Office365 user, you have access to another handy little tool included in your subscription (and since you're paying for it, you might as well use it!)<br />
<b>Bookings </b>is a (relatively simple) appointment booking web service.<br />
<br />
<i>It works like this:</i><br />
Visit <a href="http://portal.office.com/">http://portal.office.com</a> and click on "All your Apps". It is hidden away under the main Office Apps -- and your admin could have it turned off, although it is turned on by default, so shhhh... It's available in the paid A3/A5 levels, just not the free A1 :( Now, it's okay that it's not immediately visible because your "clients" (i.e. your students, teachers & parents) will access it through a web link and your "bookees" will see everything in their Outlook.<br />
<br />
When you click on the Bookings icon for the first time, you go through a brief set up process - click on the GET IT NOW button on the Bookings site you're taken to, and then set up your company. You set up what your daily hours are ... so, for math extra help, I can put up that I'm only available in the evenings, with Sunday nights off! If I have something else going on during those "open" hours already in my Outlook calendar, the clients won't be able to book time anyways, so don't worry... I can still have a life outside school! Bookings will never put an appointment when you already have something in your Outlook ... "clients" just won't see it as available option.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ur6Z-CauW6o/W5iEa8YIJbI/AAAAAAABfQQ/9giGeollapIKZmR4TlZA2UCgLEtAhpR_gCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-11_23-13-28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="408" data-original-width="394" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ur6Z-CauW6o/W5iEa8YIJbI/AAAAAAABfQQ/9giGeollapIKZmR4TlZA2UCgLEtAhpR_gCLcBGAs/s320/2018-09-11_23-13-28.png" width="309" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, you set up what kind of services you offer. In our case, we use it for our Guidance Counselors. They can request a short or long meeting and then choose either a specific counselor or anyone in Guidance.<br />
You add your staff, too, so that you can tie staff to a particular activity -- in our case, some of our counselors are US or British university specialists rather than a more general Canadian university application, so we can include other services that only include some counselors to choose from.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mIj6CrOFB9U/W5iC1WYD_0I/AAAAAAABfQE/zythKQGpjdE1uHmfN1Fwm3MlTSBqwVVpgCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-11_22-50-19.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="921" data-original-width="1026" height="573" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mIj6CrOFB9U/W5iC1WYD_0I/AAAAAAABfQE/zythKQGpjdE1uHmfN1Fwm3MlTSBqwVVpgCLcBGAs/s640/2018-09-11_22-50-19.png" width="640" /></a></div>
What's nice? It reads availability in the Counselor's existing Outlook so if the counselor has other appointments (even if not created by Bookings) it won't show availability. And, when the booking is made, both the student and the counselor's Outlook calendars are updated. And the student can easily cancel and the system updates both the counselor's calendar and the online service to open up availability. You can also set up automatic reminders for both the student and/or the counselor before the appointment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLaLnPwVubE/W5iIi8JbIQI/AAAAAAABfQo/tOzc0Q0plZcW6ACGbb808b9Be9CbDuvuQCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-11_23-30-28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="272" data-original-width="412" height="211" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLaLnPwVubE/W5iIi8JbIQI/AAAAAAABfQo/tOzc0Q0plZcW6ACGbb808b9Be9CbDuvuQCLcBGAs/s320/2018-09-11_23-30-28.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And one thing I encouraged the Guidance Counselors to do -- you can add before & after buffer time when an appointment is created. I imagine that
after a Counselor meets a student for an hour, there's going to be some
note-taking and reflection and, frankly, some de-compression time
needed, so the system can add 10 minutes to any one-hour appointment so
that the clients don't stack up one on the other without a meaningful
and useful break.<br />

The guidance department have put the link in their email signatures for the convenience for students and teachers. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Now there are a lot of other options in Bookings that we don't use ... if you (or students) were running a business you can actually include costs for services. (You can see that implied by the "free" in the image above. You can connect it to Facebook, too -- since it's business oriented, they try to get your web-link out there as much as possible.<br />

Poke into your Office365 and see what else is there! And if you have an A3/A5 license and it's not there, talk to your Admin about sliding the OFF switch to ON... you're paying for it already!

So when we're working in a cloud space, here's how you can sync the files to your device. <br />
We have a Math Department Team on Microsoft Teams (it is free if you'd like to do the same thing at your school) and a Channel within the Team for each course to discuss, build and share resources.<br />
I teach MPM2D, our Grade 10 course, and so all I really care about is Grade 10 math. Sorry, Calc & Stats!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RfLHUD2WT2M/W5PV04UnsBI/AAAAAAABfKg/tQaq5ETxBz8g36N4h7XVm9oG_AxArDPPACLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-08_9-59-14.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="208" data-original-width="359" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RfLHUD2WT2M/W5PV04UnsBI/AAAAAAABfKg/tQaq5ETxBz8g36N4h7XVm9oG_AxArDPPACLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-08_9-59-14.png" /></a></div>
So, within each Team Channel there's a dedicated file space - and we work on files together there. Course descriptions, tests, projects, you name it. But I don't want to have to go to Teams to get the files! I'd like them on my hard drive and be able to get to them through File Explorer (like I have since 1995!)<br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">
Click on the FILES button when you're in the Channel that you want to sync. You'll see all the files that are associated with your Channel. Notice that you can organize things in folders - it's not just one big space. We've been using this Team for the previous academic year so we've pushed that into its own folder and keep the current year in the list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To start the sync connection to your device, click on OPEN IN SHAREPOINT. A browser window will open and you'll likely be asked to log in. You're now on the "site" that Microsoft Teams is actually hiding from you. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Click on SYNC. A number of pop-ups may show up... accept all as necessary. I think I had "Are you sure you want to switch apps" and "Getting ready to sync".<br />
The last one to show up will be the one below, where you get to choose which of the folders in your Team Channel (notice I don't see all the other channels! No Calc, No Stats, Just Grade 10 Math!).<br />
Go ahead and click on START SYNC and the syncing process will begin down to your device. (Quick hint: always do this at school so that your home broadband isn't counting all this transferring of data!)<br />

<br />
If you now go to your Windows Explorer (or your file directory show-er on your device), you'll see a new option in the left column with your school's name (blurred here) and the MPM2D folder synced to your computer. You now have off-line copies of all of your files in your Teams Channel folder on your computer.<br />

<br />
You can now open up any files from this folder on your computer and contents will all sync back up to the Teams channel, and any new files will appear on your device.

Here's a brief run-down of the process.<br />
When you're in the Teams application, either as a reply to a message, or a brand new conversation, click on the MEET NOW button. It looks like a little video camera.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wI71IgLyWuQ/W5Hgg1b4lMI/AAAAAAABfFs/4DJLxbkm43wdOKT9BVaUprMxIzEWmIkagCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-05_22-28-18.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="108" data-original-width="232" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wI71IgLyWuQ/W5Hgg1b4lMI/AAAAAAABfFs/4DJLxbkm43wdOKT9BVaUprMxIzEWmIkagCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-05_22-28-18.png" /></a></div>
You'll get Teams Meeting popping up... you'll be doing a call, but of course, there's no one on the other end. Type in a Subject -- I'd choose the Course, Textbook, page and question number if it's applicable, otherwise some combination of curriculum standard.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1DLAIPPBZ60/W5HjYsYyTxI/AAAAAAABfF4/SfNsz5H-bDsaYj-kxc83IrYJJyoIFQWCgCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-09-06_22-22-55.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="808" height="292" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1DLAIPPBZ60/W5HjYsYyTxI/AAAAAAABfF4/SfNsz5H-bDsaYj-kxc83IrYJJyoIFQWCgCLcBGAs/s640/2018-09-06_22-22-55.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Click on MEET NOW to being the meeting. <br />
We want to start recording in order to get the video part of the screencast. Click on the 3-dot menu button and choose START RECORDING. (It says "Preview" because recording is still in pretty active development -- see below). The recording has now started and you'll see the red icon in the upper right of the screen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, you're going to share your OneNote application. Of course, before you started this process you opened your OneNote to the page you want to work on, with the question ready to go! Cuz you're prepared like that. Click on the box with the arrow on it and then click on DESKTOP. You can just choose one application but I find I always want to end up showing something besides OneNote.<br />

<br />
It's your time to shine! Go through the problem solution, using #digitalink to make all the math you want. You can also do anything else at the same time... use Desmos, WolframAlpha, GeoGebra, ... everything on your screen is getting recorded into the screencast video. While you're recording, there's a control panel in the lower right of the screen. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzcihA96oQYCodw2vyvPG-8s-fFl1TtMLQNx_Jqu7KEr7_O5xdoaeuASpRii4smFh2u4phKOcECqA3oYf7K' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
When you're done with your screencast (try to keep it to 3 to 5 minutes... <a href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/47a8/a0502d3ac8a636277b2ba48cba4e2aa14edd.pdf" target="_blank">click here for </a><a href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/47a8/a0502d3ac8a636277b2ba48cba4e2aa14edd.pdf" target="_blank">some great research</a> on how long people will put up with your videos) click on the little control panel and you'll be brought back into the Teams call and you can then turn off the Recording by clicking on the 3-dot menu and turning that off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-awbnEXWq7iU/W5Hp-26y-XI/AAAAAAABfHE/M1735ipuGNwb3QMbGolP7yKFTpjYAd_ZACEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-09-06_22-46-29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="897" data-original-width="1377" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-awbnEXWq7iU/W5Hp-26y-XI/AAAAAAABfHE/M1735ipuGNwb3QMbGolP7yKFTpjYAd_ZACEwYBhgL/s640/2018-09-06_22-46-29.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Then you can hang up the call, which also turns off screen sharing at the same time. Or you can click on the box with the x in it to shop sharing and set up to do another screen recording.<br />

<br />
Hanging up brings you back into Teams proper... and your video is put online into the Microsoft streaming service "Stream" (they went all out with names, eh? Teams for a team app and Stream for a streaming app). It usually takes a couple of minutes before it is ready to be displayed. You can see why you want to give your "meeting" a title ... it names the message and the video with that name.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDHO0J-VMOY/W5Hp_G-hZlI/AAAAAAABfHE/PPC8g3JOqpQyXYSDKvq6jTz5fb4VO11NwCEwYBhgL/s1600/2018-09-06_22-47-39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="1241" height="112" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDHO0J-VMOY/W5Hp_G-hZlI/AAAAAAABfHE/PPC8g3JOqpQyXYSDKvq6jTz5fb4VO11NwCEwYBhgL/s640/2018-09-06_22-47-39.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

It's also available on the Microsoft Stream service. If you click on the 3-dot menu you can either open it up in the full Stream website or you can get a link to share elsewhere, so you're doing double duty. The only restriction is that Stream is only available to Office365 users on your network.<br />

Now, the "preview" part...what's coming shortly down the pipe for these screencasts is not only automatic captioning in these videos, but also automatic translation of the audio, background blur if you're recording yourself in your home office or classroom and a whole bunch of other little improvements.

I was thrilled that this year the Math Department has decided to move fully on to <a href="https://products.office.com/en-US/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software" target="_blank">Microsoft Teams</a> to provide Math Extra Help. While we'll continue to provide face-to-face drop-in help during lunch, students in any course can post a question on the <i>Math & CS Team</i>, in whichever channel corresponds to their course.<br />
Microsoft Teams is freely available to everyone so any school (or individual teacher!) can give this a try. If you already have Office365 it should be an option (although your IT department may have turned it off! If you don't see it, ask!). Anyone can sign up for their own Teams space just by clicking on the link above.<br />
<br />
Microsoft Teams, in case you haven't encountered it yet, is a conversation space that brings in all manner of collaboration options. Picture an organized Facebook. Within each conversation space, you get a file space too (picture a "google drive" attached to every Whatsapp group, say) along with being able to plug in whiteboards, Skypes, Flipgrids, OneNotes, you name it. And, heaven help you, both students and teachers can use emojis, stickers, memes and gifs (although less social IT departments can turn this off).<br />
We created a Team, <i>Math & CS Team</i>, and made all the math & CS teachers as Owners of the Team and then added all the students so it's just there for them, without them doing anything. You could also just create a join code to give to them to have them self-subscribe. Students can <b>Favourite </b>their course so that it is always near the top and they can get notified if there is new content there. Of course, the name always goes <b>bold </b>if there is new content anyways.<br />

We like the Teams interface since it is so easy to do a screen clip
in OneNote and paste it right into a message -- you can show all your
mathematical workings, including graphs and sketches so that folks
helping can pinpoint where you may have gone astray.<br />

As I mentioned, although the main (driving) part of Teams is the Conversations, you can add anything to the space. Notice across the top the tabs for "Conversations", "Files" (any attachment to a message gets stored here) and "Scratchpad". So, one thing I added to my channel (Grade 10 Math - MPM2D) was its own OneNote Scratchpad so I would always have access to a #digitalink scratchpad in case I wanted to actually write math (typing can be slow, error-prone and, well, infuriating to do math). I can quickly copy & paste my scribblers back into Teams, or link to the page so the student can get at it. It's open to everyone so it's effectively a collaborative whiteboard space.<br />

I think the most long-term power in using Teams is the little video-camera button when you go to Reply to an item. This immediately jumps you into a Teams (Skype) call allowing you to share whiteboards in a synchronous space, making a solid, easy bridge between the asynchronous and synchronous spaces. AND once you're done with the F2F (well, online) conversation, it attaches a video/screencapture and chat log of the online discussion for later review! <b>You could always just do a Video Reply with yourself, making it an instant screen capture posted right to Teams! </b><br />

Our long term goal is to coach all students to provide support to their colleagues; while teachers will always be active in the Team, making sure the answers are constructive and correct (and coaching when they are not, rather than just correcting), it is always more powerful to have students help other students. They both learn from the encounter.<br />

There's also a very convenient phone app for both Android and iPhone/iPad ... I remember doing Christmas shopping while answering students' questions via the app!<br />
One of the biggest concerns was that Teams is not anonymous -- so we provide a back door for students not willing to post their challenges publicly, though. They can email the question to their teacher, who then posts it to the channel. While we always want to encourage folks to be public about their errors (we're a school, after all) that is still an uphill battle. <br />
We started this discussion group process with Yammer, another option in Office365, many years ago ... it was effective for the teachers that used it and the results there really helped motivate the rest of department to agree to give Teams a try. It's just another reminder to let trials run their course; it takes time for teachers to feel comfortable that a new approach is going to make a difference.Cal Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02642522526193382560noreply@blogger.com0
