OTAM, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. All right, good afternoon, everybody. Thank you so much for taking some time out of your summer to join me and continue learning about Google Forms today. So as Melinda said, you know, this is part one of three and today we will be focusing on the form specifically quizzes. So as, you know, I am an ESL instructor and I am fortunate enough to be at Torrance Adult School with amazing colleagues and students. I am a level one certified educator and I'd be willing to talk to you a little bit more about what that means for you and for your digital skills. So let's go ahead and get started. So today, today you are going to be able to create a quiz form and you're gonna be using Google Forms and we're going to apply the following formatting features. You are going to learn to customize the theme of your form, how to use different question types. On a Google Form, you're going to add media to your questions, so pictures and video and you are going to learn how to set a required question or make a question not required for your users. As you type in questions into the chat box, I will do my best to address them now or I will tell you that the answer is coming up later. All right, so first off, Google Forms offers us a variety of templates that might already be in your organization. So for today, you know, we're going to be working on the template for blank quiz. These other templates, like find a time, I find that they are incredibly useful. I also like the exit ticket. And so today we are going to be focusing on blank quiz and let's see what it is. So maybe some of you are asking yourselves, well, what's the difference between a quiz and an exit ticket or a survey? Well, on Google Forms, the difference between a quiz and the other types of Google Forms is that, A, you can assign points to the questions that you ask in your form and second, you can add an answer to most of the question types that Google Forms allows. So that is the main difference between a quiz and any other type of Google Form. All right, so why do you need Google Forms in your class, yes? So I'm here to tell you, well, why not? All right, this is what a Google Forms quiz form can do for you in the classroom, okay? Now you can use a form, you can generate a form to use at any stage of your lesson, right? And Google Forms allows us to ask many different types of questions and include media, which is something that I really like. You can include an answer key or not. If you include an answer key, you can instantly grade student work and that is a beautiful thing because you don't have to go back and review one by one. So it's definitely a time saver. Again, you can assign points to each question and this can change afterwards, you know? You don't, just because you assign an answer key or points to a question, doesn't mean that you can't change it later. And later, I mean after students or after users have submitted something. Again, you can add personal feedback to each student. Google will automatically send them their score once you review it. It generates all the responses in a beautiful, nicely organized spreadsheet for you to analyze. And of course, my favorite, one of my favorite things is that it allows for your students or your users' submissions to be in the form of text so I can type directly into the form or it also allows for users to include attachments and, you know, it's a diverse types of files so it's not only a Google Doc or a Microsoft Word document. And it saves all of these responses and all of the attachments that you receive in one convenient location for you. All right, moving on. So at this point, you are going to be taking a little quiz. All right, so in the chat box, you will see a link to, there you go. All right, you will see a link to a quiz. Now this is just for fun, okay? And I created this quiz for you to see examples of different question types that Google Forms will allow you.  So please, you can see the answer key and some feedback for some of the questions after you submit your response. So I'll give you a few minutes. I'll give you a few minutes to work on that. I am going to come back to our form. All right, Elena Toscano, I'm glad that you enjoyed that. Other seems to be some, maybe I did make a mistake in the awkward. Yeah, I double checked. So unless I ran into an error with this form, I accidentally deleted the answer key and I had to put in the answer key at the very last minute once again. So yes, maybe I did make a mistake here and there and I hope maybe you did learn something from this. So my name is Monica, once again, and when I see a, okay, yeah. So I hope that for Thomas Beninger, you can access once you view your score and you look at the feedback, you will see a link to a YouTube video for the song lyrics, okay? So I'm gonna just show you an example of how you can add feedback to your questions. So when your students or when your audience views their results, they have something to fall back on.  That's okay, Olivia Madokein, you got my name wrong. I hope you don't forget it and don't worry. I hope to see you in part two and part three and you will know my name by then, I promise. Okay, so I try to create sample questions for you so that you can see all the different question types. Now, there are some question types that are missing and they are missing because for those question types, you cannot add an answer key. And I'm gonna go into that a little more later on, okay? So if you're confused about that, just give me a moment, please, okay? In this question where, you know, about the mask question, so I wanted to show you that you have the option to include links to outside sources of your form, you know, where students could look, read or watch something and you can ask a question about it. Now, it does, it will require maybe a little more time because for the internet might be running a little slow. So I know that some of you have that problem today. All right, I tried to find a very short video and informative, I hope you enjoyed this little Ted Ed video. So this is an example of how you can insert videos and ask questions about your video. All right, I added this question in here about how comfortable you are using Google Forms. This was just a little extra question there. If you noticed there was not an answer key to this question because for this specific type of question, you cannot add an answer key. I'm sorry, you can add an answer key, but because the answer is in range form, it's a little tricky to come up with a question that falls exactly within a range. Okay, got it. So all right, moving on back to my little presentation. Okay, so I wanna show you how I use Google Forms in my class, okay? Now I use it in three different ways, as a pre, as a need and a post assessment and for homework, right? And so one of the ways that I used it was like you did today, right? Where students typed in their answers into the form. They selected multiple choice response. And also I used it where students as a place where students uploaded their work. Now for me, in my case, I was not using a learning management system in LMS like Google Classroom or Mundo. It was my choice to do something else. But I needed a place where students could just turn in their work for me and I wouldn't have to be receiving thousands of emails from students sending me their work. So Google Forms provided this amazing platform for me where I could have students upload their work as a PDF, as an audio recording, as a video file, as a Google Doc, as a Microsoft Word document. So students uploaded their work, right? So even though it's not necessarily a quiz, quiz like you just took, it was a place where students were able to upload their work that they did at home and then they submitted through a Google Form. I then received their work, evaluated their work, assigned the students points and sent them feedback. And I also used a survey. I also used it as surveys. So now I'd like for you to take a moment and I think now is a good time to share the link for them to see examples of some Google Forms that I used in my classroom. So I'll give you a few moments to look through them and to ask me any questions that you have about these Google Forms. One thing that I want you to notice is that some of the forms have sections and a form like what you did right before this did not have sections. Now, some people are of the school where they say, oh my goodness, we need sections in a form. It's just way too long if you don't have sections. And I agree. I completely agree. However, in my classroom, especially with the lower levels, I found that what students were doing was they saw the questions on the Google Form and they preferred to do their work in their notebook and then type the questions. So a student asked me if I could make it easier for them and for him specifically. And so I figured making it easier for him would most likely make it easier for others. So I decided to do away with the sections, all right? So instead, you see a very long, long Google Form where students were able to view all of the questions at the same time, work in their notebook like they wanted and then they typed in their answers. All right, so I have been using Google Forms in my classroom much before COVID and we had to go into distance learning. So I'm very, very glad that I did because most of my students were already familiar with how to use a Google Form. Now, let me talk to you about some of the advantages to using Google Forms in your classroom. And one of them for me was that the submissions were in one folder, nicely organized for me and that meant quicker access to these files. I didn't have to go around my Google Drive or through my email or anywhere else sifting for student responses. Another thing is that an answer key is optional. So there is like an open-ended question. You can assign points to it, but you don't have to have an answer key. You would just manually go back and read that specific response. Again, points could be assigned later and can be changed later after a student submits their work. If I, right now, everybody submitted a quiz and I could go back and offer you feedback as a whole, if I see that students are making mistakes on a particular type of question or I can give each participant individual feedback as well. Something like, oh, great job or something more intense, something, I'm sorry, a little lengthier, which is watch this video on the present symbol, for example. Today, you completed this quiz synchronously, right? And a form could be used like what we did today or you could assign it for students to submit outside of the virtual session. Now, the first couple of times, I think it would be, it was useful when I, just like I'm sharing now, I shared the Google form on my screen and I walk them through what they should do with this form. I really like the range of questions. You know, it offers us a flexibility into what we want to ask and really focus on the best questioning strategies for our students. Super easy, it was really easy for me to duplicate forms where students, for example, they had to submit a journal every week and I just duplicated the form, changed the title, changed the date and it was super quick and easy. So I'm very glad that forms could just be duplicated, tweaked and used all over again. Now, obviously there were challenges. Obviously we've already experienced some of the challenges today, right? So again, my students, some lacked digital skills. So it was not intuitive to all students and we'll have to go back and forth with a couple of them, showing them how to use a Google form. Now, you cannot revert to a previous version, unfortunately, you know, the other Google apps will allow you to restore to a previous version, but unfortunately a Google form will not, okay? However, you can undo some, you know, you can undo actions when you are, when you are, I'm sorry, when you have the Google form open at that specific moment. If you're working with a collaborator and you're both working on form at the same time, it gets a little confusing because it's not as quickly, it doesn't update as quickly as when you're working on a Google doc, for example. So just the heads up, that can get a little confusing. Another inconvenience that I found was that if a student or if a user types their email incorrectly, then you cannot, then the student will not receive their score. You know, what I did to sidetrack to, I'm sorry to bypass that was, I just took a screenshot of their score and I emailed it to them. So there was always a reminder, please type in your email correctly. And regarding the question type where Google Forms allows you to upload a file, we should know that some file types are not accepted. The most common PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Google Docs, Microsoft Word documents, and P3s and P4s, those are accepted, but not all of them are. And that is something that I found out in my experience. So let me go on. All right. So let's get into the Forms menu, okay? So now I've opened up a blank quiz. And what I want to do first is I want to break it down for you. I want to break down the view for you before we get into the practical element of this webinar. So what you see here at the top of a blank quiz, all right? What you see at the top is you see a space where right now it says blank quiz and what you would do is you would type in the title of your form there, all right? Now, if you see a little folder icon, you can click that folder icon and it will allow you to select where in your Google Drive you would like to save that form. Starring, clicking on the star, it makes it like a favorite. In your bookmarks on your web browser, you have favorites. On Google Drive, you have starred items, starred files, starred folders, right? And they just allow you quicker access, okay? All changes saved in Drive is just a reminder, you know, that after every single little change that you make into your Google form, the changes will automatically be saved. All right, on the other side, just still, I'm still at the forms menu at the top, you see these little icons, right? And let me start with add-ons. So that little puzzle, puzzle piece that you might see throughout other Google apps is referring to add-ons. Now, add-ons are something that you have to go into the Google suite and you have to find and install this add-on. Now, add-ons are just many programs that run on the application like Google Form, Microsoft Word, I'm sorry, Google Dots, sorry, sorry. And they just increase the functionality of your app, okay? Now, you do not have to have these. But there are add-ons for generating tables or adding a timer. There's all sorts of add-ons for Google apps. It's just a matter of you combing through the Google suite and finding what is right for you. Now, this little paint palette will customize the color, the theme and the font of your form, okay? The little eye will open up a new tab and that is where you can preview what your users will see when you send them your form. The little wheel will allow you to modify the settings for the form and I'm gonna go more in-depth in the next slide regarding your settings. The send button will show you the options for sending the form to those that you want to share it with. Okay, moving on, okay, sorry about that. Okay, so let's talk about your settings, okay? And Anthony or Melinda, stop me if I need to address something. So in your settings, when you open your general, sorry, when you open your settings in that little wheel, you have three different tabs. So I'm gonna talk about the general settings and checking this box where it says collect email addresses can limit your users, okay? Because it's going to require participants to sign into Gmail. Now, maybe some of your students or maybe some people in your audience do not have a Gmail address and therefore they would not be able to access your form. So keep that in mind please. And for the quiz that you took today, I made sure that I did not check that box or any of the other boxes that would require a user to sign in. If you are within an organization like myself, Torrance Unified, then you may need to make sure that you uncheck that box or else, once again, people outside of your organization will not be able to access your form. And in the third area, you choose. What do you want your audience to see? Do you want them to edit, be able to edit their response? Do you want them to see a summary of the responses of other people who have completed the form? So that is up to you. Still on settings, still on settings, let's talk about the quiz settings. Now at the beginning, I told you that a Google Forms quiz is different than other forms because you can allow, sorry, you can add an answer key and you can add points. So pretty much any form that you open, any template that you open can be turned into a quiz by selecting this option, okay? So you don't necessarily have to open a blank quiz. When you open a blank quiz, you simply already have this checked for you, okay? But you can do this to any form. So what I did today, right? What I did for your quiz today is I checked the first option, which was immediately after each submission and you were all able, if you submitted this quiz, you were able to see your answers and you were able to see the answer key. So that is what immediately we will do. It will require an answer key. If you wanna take the time, review everybody's response one by one, then you would select the latter later after manual review. And of course, once again, what do you want your audience to be able to see after they submit their quiz? Yeah, so today you were able to see your missed questions, your correct answers, and the point values, all right? And that is up to you, okay? Got it. Now, just like here, right? Where if you select collect email addresses, that will automatically ask your users to sign into Gmail. There are a couple of other options in your settings that will also require, I'm sorry, in your settings and in your questions, that will require users to sign into Gmail. So it's important to keep that in mind because making some of these selections might limit your audience and you just have to keep that in mind, okay? So other settings and questions that will require your users to sign in are the option of allowing people to respond one time, asking for email addresses like I already mentioned, allowing them to edit their response or sending a response email and asking people to upload files. It will ask them to sign in so that they can have the ability to upload work from Google Drive. More on that later, okay? And of course, if you restrict the form to users in your organization, they will have to be signed in with the email address from that organization. All right, am I doing okay? Should I stop for questions? I think we're okay, Monica. All right, awesome, awesome, awesome. I don't wanna lose anybody. The fun is just about to begin, okay? All right, so now I have, I've opened my Google Form, I have tweaked some of the settings in my Google Form and now I'm ready to get down and dirty and create some questions, okay? So this is a snapshot of what your question field will look like, okay? I have added some numbers here for reference, okay? And number one, this is where you're going to type your question, your question field, okay? I'm gonna refer to this as a question field in the future, I'm sorry, in the next activity. This is your question field where you will type in a description or you will type in instructions or type in an actual question, okay? Now, number two, these little six dots will allow you to click and drag this question to a different order in the form, okay? Now, number three is, I want you to look at the image in number three and the image in number five. Now, both of these are to add pictures, okay? But number three will allow you to add the picture within this question, okay? Within this question. If you click on number five, if you click on number five to add a picture, to add an image, your image will be added without a question field, okay? So you can try that later on when you get into the hands on part of it. In number four, you are going to open this dropdown menu to select the question type. There are about 10 question types, I believe. So it is up to you which one you want for what purpose you want. Number five, you will, this little toolbar on the right, you have different options. We are going to be working with this little plus sign, which gives you the opportunity to add a question, okay? Add a question, add images, video, add section, add a title or description. And that little arrow is for those of you who already have Google Forms created. And maybe, you know, maybe you don't want to create this Google Form entirely from scratch. There are three or four other questions from a different form that you made previously and you want to add them. So rather than typing them all over again, you can click on this little sheet with an arrow and it will give you the option to import questions from your previous Google Forms, all right? Number six, the area number six is where your responses will be typed or where the responses will be logged if it's a checkbox, a multiple choice, whatever question type you decide on. Number seven is to add an answer key or points. Again, you don't have to add them. It's optional, right? But once again, it depends on your purpose. Do you want to, today I added an answer key and I added points because I wanted to see your score immediately after you submitted this quiz. Number eight, duplicates the question, right? It duplicates the question type, any media that you add to your question. So all of those settings, answer key points, it will also duplicate, all right? And number nine, sorry, will be the area where you designate the question as required or not required, all right? I hope that you are ready because now it is, it is going to be your turn, but let me walk you through, let me walk you through a couple of examples, okay? Now, at this point, I am going to split my screen so that it can make it easier for you to view. Just a minute. Monica, could we stop before we start to practice, just for a few questions that have been kind of repeated? Most definitely. Okay. When you collect email addresses, that means that the user has to have a Gmail question? Okay. If you do not have that selected, do the people that are filling out the form need to have a Gmail? So if you don't collect email addresses, do they still have to have an email in order to fill out the form? No, they do not. However, it is important to keep in mind, to keep in mind that simply by selecting that, by selecting that, that is not, let me put that up on my screen one more time. If you collect email addresses, that's not the only way that email addresses will be collected. You know, there are, just like I said, there are other settings that will require your users to sign in. So if you do not want your users to sign in like you didn't have to today, you have to make sure that none of these, none of these settings are selected and that you're not asking these types of questions. Okay. Maybe some of you today have Gmail or don't have Gmail, but nobody was asked to sign in, right? Nobody was asked to sign in. So just keep that in mind. I hope that answers your question. Next question, it's kind of two parts. So when someone's filling out the form, can they come back to it later and finish it? Or do they have to do it all in one setting? So that is a great question. Now, if their browser times out or if they clean out their cash or cookies, then they will have to open the form up again, you know, and start all over. Now, if they just kind of leave their browser open, you know, like I have it on my phone or on my computer and I step away for a few minutes, then it will most likely still be there. If you close that window or that tab where you have the form open, they will have to start all over. And I'm not sure what this question is about. And then what do I enter to tell the form to collect that email address? That was in the settings. And you already addressed that. There's lots of different settings here and there. So you have to look for them. Right, exactly. So you have to be very careful about what settings and what questions you are asking in your form. If you do not want to, if you want your audience to be non-Gmail users as well. Okay, I think that's got it. All right, so let me go ahead and set up my, our, sorry, our hands-on. And I will walk you through a few examples for this hands-on portion. Okay, so on the same handout, yes, on the same handout, on page three, I have created an example quiz for you, right?   So you don't have to think too much about what questions to ask. All right, so the first thing that I have done is, I have open, I've gone to Google Forms, I've gone to my Google Forms and I have selected blank quiz. Now, once my blank quiz is open, I will go ahead and make adjustments to my settings. First of all, I'm going to remove the restriction and since I have to send back scores, I will collect email addresses. Yeah, students would tell this to me, they would tell me all the time, teacher, we don't see your screen. Okay, all right, so I'm at Google Forms, I selected a blank quiz, right?  Okay, so once again, sorry about that, I will opt to collect email addresses because I want to be able to email people their scores after I have reviewed their responses. I will remove the restriction, respondents, let's allow them to edit after submit quizzes that is already selected. And I am going to select later because I want to be able to go back individually and give people feedback and assign points, okay? Students will be able to see mis-questions, correct answers and point values. All right, I've saved that and now I can type in a title, let's see, Webinar 103, for example, okay? You can, in the form description field, you can add instructions, you can add links but it's got to be, it has to be text only. In the form description, you cannot add media, okay? So here's where you can add, sorry, you can add instructions or a description, okay? Or any links, okay? This is automatically there and it is required because I selected to collect email addresses, okay? Now I'm ready to add questions, okay, so my first question. Now, if you see, my window is a little smaller so my toolbar appears at the bottom instead of on the right side, okay? But it's the same options, okay? So, oh, I'm not ready, sorry. Let's customize a theme. All right, I like that. All right, I like this blue, okay? I've selected a different background color and theme color. You can even add an image if you'd like, if it makes it more personal for your audience. So, there you go. Now my form looks a little more customized. Okay, got it. So I have provided you with some examples, okay? With some examples for questions. Now I have given you an example question for most question types, okay? For most question types. So the first example that I give you is for a short answer response. So if we remember, I will go to my dropdown menu and I will select short answer, short answer. Now it tells me to insert an image of a celebrity. Okay, so let's see. I don't know. There seems to be a theme. So let's just continue with Michael Jackson, okay? I've gone, I went to Google Image Search and you can also find images in different areas. So I just went to the Google Image Search. What's really nice about the Google Image Search is that the results will always be for public domain use. So you don't have to worry about, you don't have to worry too much about licensing restrictions, okay? So I have selected, I have selected a picture and once you select a picture, a blue bar will appear at the bottom and you can insert the image. And now the image is within your picture. I'm sorry, within your question. So I'm just going to resize that, okay? I'm going to resize that. Now in my question field, I'll type who is this, okay? Now let's assign an answer key. I will add the correct answer. Oh my goodness, sorry, Michael Jackson, okay. Now in this answer key, it's important for you to remember that maybe what are acceptable answers for you, right? So maybe you would also accept MJ or maybe you would accept if a student or if a user didn't capitalize, right? So you would have to type in any correct answer that you would accept, okay? So these are just examples of what a user could respond and it would be marked correct, okay? And I will mark all other answers as incorrect, okay? And I will give this question two points and click done, okay? So now if we go to the preview, preview, there you go. When the student or when the user is completing the form, this is what they will see, okay? And you can go ahead and close that. Doesn't erase any of your work, okay? You can just go back to your close a tab and it just, oh, the form is still open, okay? So now it tells me I'm on the question toolbar. It says to click the plus sign to add question and that is going to take me to a different question type. And this one is a multiple choice question, okay? I've already selected it, it's multiple choice. So let's do the same thing. Now let me show you the difference between adding an image here and adding an image here, okay? So as you see, in the first question, the image is within the question field, okay? Now let me add an image here. Let's do a picture of a puppy. Adorable, okay? I've selected it, it's in blue. I go to my blue bar and I select insert. Now, if you see here, my question is still there, but my picture, my image appears in a separate little box. It doesn't have a question field. It only allows an image title. So that's the difference between adding an image from the toolbar and adding an image within the question field, okay? So if I go back to my instructions, it tells me to also insert an image of a celebrity. So I will run a Google image search and let's do, I don't know, let's do Michael Jackson again. Michael Jordan, he came up, okay. Here you go, I've selected my image. It is now in a blue frame and I will select insert. I'm going to resize. I'm resizing the picture by clicking on the blue, on the blue squares, okay? On any of the corners of blue squares, there you go. You can make that as big or as small as you want, okay? So it tells me to type in who is this. And now I'm adding multiple choice answers. So option one, let's say Michael Jordan, I don't know, Dennis Rodman, and let's say LeBron James, okay? So what I have to do now is I have to add the answer key. Add the answer key. So I will select the correct answer and that is Michael Jordan and I will assign two points, two points to this question. And I am done. I am now ready to add the next question. And once again, to do that, I will click on the little plus sign, on the plus sign. My next question type is checkboxes. Okay, on my form, checkboxes. In the question field, I will type, mark all the correct sentences. And let's see if this works. If I copy it all at the same time. Yes, it did, beautiful. Okay, so now I will add the answer key. She likes walking and she likes to walk. I will add two points. That's it. Once again, I would repeat the process for answering, I'm sorry for adding a question. Now, I'm going, since I have your attention now, I, before I ask you to try this on your own, I'd like to show you how to set up a file upload, okay? A file upload question. Now, as I told you, as I told you before, Google will not accept 100% of all types of files that exist in this world, yeah? And so this question type will come with its own settings, okay? Now, I want my students to send me a picture of something in their house, let's imagine, okay? So I am going to allow only images, okay? I don't want any PDFs. I only want them to submit images, okay? Now, what I have found in my experience is that the images that Google will accept are JPEGs, PNGs, and PDFs. And gifts, okay? I haven't tried anything else. This I know from what students have tried to submit, okay? I have searched high and low for something official from Google's, specifying what type of files they accept, but I have not found anything. And so this is something that I have learned by students telling me, teacher, I cannot submit my work. So this is what I have learned. Now, I am going to allow them to submit, let's say, five pictures, okay? And each file will be 10 megabytes. You can change the file size that you allow. Now, if you look here, gives you a little notice that this form can accept up to one gigabyte of files. So that means that if you have 20 students submitting five pictures each, what happens if you reach that one gigabyte of files turned in, what that does is your form stops accepting responses, okay? And that's very easy to fix. All you have to do is just change this. If you see the maximum size of all files uploaded, I'm going to change that to 10 gigabytes, okay? Now, the one kind of annoying thing about Google Forms is that it will keep sending you a reminder. It will keep sending you a reminder. Every time that somebody submits work, it will send you a reminder. Capacity is almost at max. Capacity is almost reached. And while that isn't true, it just keeps sending you a reminder. And so it's a little annoying, okay? But I haven't found a way to turn that notification off. Okay, at this point, I can answer more questions for you or you are free to give this a try and create your own, create your own blank quiz and I am here to answer questions or walk you through another example. Does that sound like a good idea, Melinda and Anthony? All right, so then let me go ahead and demonstrate another question type, which is adding, I'm sorry, it's not a question type, it's just adding video, adding video to your question. So I am currently on number five, okay? I'm currently on number five and I'm going, the question type that I would like to use is a dropdown question, okay? Now, I'm going to add a video to this question. This, again, you can add a video and have a different question type, okay? It's not, adding a video is not limited to the type of question that you select. Now, unlike the previous questions where I've added an image and the image appears within the question, adding a video will not let you do that, okay? So what you need to do here is, in my toolbar, I will add a video, okay? I will select add video and I already have the URL selected. So I'm just going to type it in and search for it, okay? This is indeed the video that I want, okay? This is a video that I want, so I will click it and then I will press the blue button to select and this will automatically add the video to my form. Now, it says untitled video, you are free to add a title to this video, to add instructions. So for example, I will say watch video and answer the following question, okay? Now, here, I have the option to add a question, right? Now, I had already added it, so I'm just going to drag it down, if I can, okay? My form is not, I just don't have enough space on my window. Now, just kidding, okay. Well, it's not cooperating with me, so I'll just add another question and delete this one. Okay, so here you go. Once again, this is a dropdown question, it's a dropdown question and my question is going to be, only black kid in the class is considered, okay? And I will add my options and what I'm doing is I'm just copying and pasting and it's very convenient that it creates one, it creates them as different options instead of one whole copy and paste. So that saved me a minute, right? So now I will add the answer key and assign points, got it. And again, if you're curious about the aesthetics or how clear this form is for your audience, go back, preview, here we go, right? And this is, you would watch the video and answer the question that is there. Once again, if you close this tab, nothing will change on your form. Here we go, how are we doing? Hi, Monica, so yeah, if we could break for a second, let's see if we can get to some of these questions here. So there's a question from Jacqueline that just came up about adding a video. So the question is, I added the video but it came up in a separate box so it couldn't add the questions. How do I add the video to the question box? So what I said is that with videos, it unfortunately does not allow us to do that. So with a video, your video will appear in a separate box. And so what I do to guide users to the question is in the title field, I type, watch the video and answer the following question, right? And so then you would have to add a question and that is where you would type your question or questions that are related to the video. Okay, thank you. Let's go, there's some questions about the scoring. So let's see if we can answer some of those questions. First of all, Elizabeth was wondering either today or maybe in another webinar if you're gonna cover getting the scores into Google Classroom. So in the third webinar, we're gonna talk about results, analyzing the results. And yes, I believe that I can't, I'm not as proficient in Google Classroom but I can definitely do my homework and have something for you for the third webinar on that. Fantastic. Okay, so, oh, okay. So if you have a question where there are two possible correct answers, okay? And the student or the user only marks one of the answers that, you know, instead of both. Well, how does the student get points for that? Do they only get, like, do they get one point? If you marked two total points for the question, do they only get one point? Do they get both points? Do they get zero points? So how does that work? So unfortunately, no. Your answer key will require, you know, if you mark two answers as correct, the students will have to mark those two answers. Now, what you could do is you could go back and review responses, okay? You could review responses and you can see, oh, okay, you know what? The student got one out of two possible, one out of the two possible answers. So I'm going to give them one point, you know? And that's the way that you could, let me find a form where I can show this. See if I have one. You give me one moment. Okay, so here you go, right? So this is one of the responses that I got from your quiz, right? So for example, this person, right? This person happened to mark both. They marked both correct answers, but let's imagine that one person, they only marked one, right? So if you go to the points section, here you go, here's where you can add more points or reduce their points, okay? Does that answer your question? And that's the way that you can change the point value to a student's response. So you could give them credit. It would just involve you going back to each response and looking through the student's response. So in my personal opinion, I would try to avoid these types of questions. Maybe instead of asking it as one question, maybe you can divide it and ask two questions, if that makes sense. So it's just easier on you and you don't have to go back and double check and assign points for half correct answers. And Monica, while we're there, somebody was asking in that add individual feedback option, what do we put there typically? So here's where you could, if you give me one moment, okay. In this add individual feedback, you can type in, you know, you can add a link or you could say something like, great work, right? Or you could, let's say let's add a link and I can say, let's just imagine I added a link to some kind of instructional video, right? And I can say, watch this video to understand the concept, right? And so let's just type in something in here very quickly. So I would add it and save. And now when I send the student their score, they will see my individual feedback and they will see my little message and they will see my little message. And the student can click on that link and watch the video or see a picture that I have asked them to review, for review, for example. That's a pretty useful feature. One way that I have used this is, for example, I record a tutorial, yes, or maybe me, I record a tutorial, yes, or maybe me going over the answers to homework and I record that and I add the video, I add it as feedback for the form. So now every time when students receive their scores, everyone will see that feedback. And let me show you how to do that, okay? So for example, I will click on a question and I will add answer key and add answer feedback. So now when I type, when I type feedback in the Google form, right? So here I am in the, if you notice, I'm in the questions, not responses. So any feedback that I add here will be visible to all recipients of this form after they submit the form, okay? So something that I'll type, for example, is, I don't know, this looks great. I will send you your score in three days, okay? And I can save that and now all students will be able to see that feedback after they submit Apple, sorry, when they receive their score. So those are two different ways that you can add feedback. One way, if I add feedback in the questions, right? All students, oh, sorry, everyone will be able to see that feedback. And when you are reviewing responses, when you are, sorry, when you are reviewing responses and you add individual feedback, that feedback will only go to that person. So I think everyone was able to see the link to this video, correct? So that's what I did. I added the feedback in the questions so that everybody could see it once they submitted their response. All right, I hope that answers, that was a long response. I hope that answered your question. Yeah, thank you, Monica. And then we do have one more question in the Q&A. So the question is about inserting math symbols into either your question or your answers. Do you have any recommendations about math symbols that can be added? You know what? Hang on one second. Let me, what did I do? Okay, so regarding the math symbols, I'm, for example, two plus two. When you, Google will automatically, kind of like identify the type of question that you're trying to ask. So if they see some kind of mathematical symbol, sometimes it will, I'm not getting it now. I'm sorry. It will, like default to the type of response that you can get. Now, as for math symbols, I don't know how you can add them direct. You know, if you have a keyboard shortcut for your symbols, but there is no way on Google Forms, per se, where it will give you the symbol, the options for mathematical symbols. However, I am sure that there is some kind of add-on for Google Forms that you can find on the G Suite that would help you with that. You know, if you find an add-on and you can apply it to Google Forms, and I can show you how, I can show you how to look for add-ons right now. So I'm sorry, yeah? Oh, sorry. So a couple of recommendations coming in the chat. Melinda said actually you can add them as a picture or drawing. Oh, okay. And then, Elizabeth recommended if you put spaces in between the math question. So two space times space two rather than altogether. Okay, there you go. It will like default the value, right? Yeah, you might, I wonder if you also need to, oh, there you go. Okay, well, that's gonna bring up that response validation. Yes. Yes. So that, I mean, that's helpful, but unfortunately, so Melinda says that we can add it as a drawing. Or a picture, yeah. Or a picture, okay, got it. Now, I would, you know, I would go for the less try to work as easy as I could and I would go to the G Suite first and see if there's some kind of add-on on Google Forms for that. And let me show you how you can do that, okay? Now, if you go to your Google Apps, at the bottom, you can go to more from G Suite Marketplace, okay? And you can type here, you can look for something related to Google Forms. So these are all the mini programs that you can add to Google Forms to help you do different things with Google Forms, okay? I don't see anything. Icons, Icons for Slides and Docs, hmm? Okay, all right. So as you can see, there are lots and lots and lots of add-ons that you could add to your Google Form. If there is nothing here that is worth your time, I would recommend that you write to Google and that you, I'm sure you're not the only one with this request and, you know, they are receptive. They may not do it then and there, but they might consider it for a future release, for a future version of Google Forms. Monica has covered a lot today. So, Monica, can you give us a little preview of, or do you know right now what you're planning for two and three for the next two months? I sure do. Okay, so why don't we cover that, why don't we cover that first? To that, okay. Got it, so I hope that, you know, you have found today valuable and that you offer me, you know, constructive feedback. I have two more webinars to give, so I would love for you to be here and join me and get the most out of your time. So looking ahead, you know, part two on July next Thursday, we're going to talk about sharing the Google Form, okay? So I hope that between this time and next time, you know, if you create a Google Form or a quiz that we're going, so that you could practice sharing it. Now, if you don't, that's fine. You don't have to, you could use one of mine, okay? That I will share with you. Now, what you're going to do is we're going to learn to share it different ways, okay? So I'm going to show you how to hyperlink, how to hyperlink text to your Google Form, okay? So for those of us who are, for example, managing a website, right? How to create a hyperlink, so you don't have to, students don't see that long URL, you know, that long link that you saw in the chat box, right? So just kind of clean it up and make it look a little nicer. So I'll show you how to create a hyperlink. And secondly, I'll show you how to use a URL shortener. Specifically, I'm going to be talking about bit.ly, B-I-T dot L-Y, all right? That's the one I'm going to be focusing on and most of them work in similar ways, okay? So that's what I will use next week. And third, I will show you how to embed, embed a form into your Google sites.  That is what embedding is, okay? So I will talk about those three things next week and I guess anything else that might come up from the audience and in part three of three, we will talk about viewing and analyzing your results.


Hey Gems, welcome back to my channel, so as you can see by the title of this video, today I'll be trimming, well today I'll be showing you guys how I trim my fiancé here. So I realized that a video that I posted of me doing his hair back when I first started my channel actually have the most views out of all the videos that I've posted so far. So I'm the only one that does his hair, not as often as I used to before I got pregnant and had my son but I do his hair anyway so why not film it and post it on my channel since that seems to be what people like. So this video I'll be showing you guys how I trim his hair. I actually haven't trimmed his hair in a long time and it was in need of a trim badly so I wanted to do a thorough trim and actually get a clear view of his ends so I decided to straighten his hair first. I would usually just stretch it and then dust his ends but it's been a long time so I actually straightened his hair first and I would have used a blow dryer but blow drying to me takes a long time so I actually used a flat iron. He didn't want me to actually use a flat iron, he didn't want me to use a blow dryer either but it is what it is. Flat ironing was way quicker and his hair was already dried because I had to wash his hair several days before so it was just easier and quicker to use a flat iron versus a blow dryer because his hair is very full and thick so I used this heat protectant spray and flat iron his hair in the sections that it was already in because it's as you can see in the beginning of the video you'll see that his hair is in big plots so I just loose up a plot at a time brush it out to the tangle spray it flat iron it and trim it and I did that to each sections and you guys will see that in the upcoming clip so I hope you guys enjoyed this video don't forget to like comment and subscribe if you've been enjoying the content on my channel so far and I'll see you guys in the next video I am not going to talk through this video you guys can just watch and enjoy ignore my sudden background he's six months now and he can't keep still all over the place creeping rolling everything so anyways I'll see you guys well you guys see me in my next video


In this presentation, we will take a look at the general format or general outline of an audit report. As we do so, remember that this is going to be the end process. So now we're imagining the end process and as we go through future presentations, we'll be going through the audit process with the goal of ending, of course, with the end process of the audit report, the audit report that is the document that's going to be issuing the opinion of support accounting instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website broken out by category, further broken out by course, each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it, the audit tour. So in looking at the format of the audit report, we're visualizing where we're going. Where are we going to end up at the end of the audit process? Now, the audit report is going to be fairly standardized because we have a specific goal in mind at the end of the audit process. That is, of course, to give our opinion on whether or not the financial statements are being presented in a fair way in accordance to whatever they are being prepared in accordance with such as generally accepted accounting principles. Because the goal is going to be a specific goal, the format of the audit report will take a specific format as well. In other words, we have a pretty good idea of what we would like the audit report to look like at the end of the process. Now, you might be saying, how could we know what we would want it to look like when we're trying to issue an opinion and we don't know what our opinion is at the beginning. But, of course, our opinion, what we're hoping for is to be able to say, hey, these audit reports are good. They have been presented in accordance with whatever they've been said they're going to be presented with with regards to those assertions. That's what the specific goal is. That's what we're hoping will happen. And therefore, we have a pretty good idea of the format of the audit report at the end of the process. However, there are certain conditions which may restrict us from having that standard format to basically issue an opinion saying, hey, the financial statements are in accordance, and we're going to basically want to know exactly what those differences are so that we can then standardize what the financial statements or the audit report will look like if we have some problems, some areas where the financial statements do not line up exactly what we would hope to line up where the audit doesn't go exactly as we would hope, where we can't issue exactly a clean type of presentation. So let's look at first what, of course, the normal format would be of the audit report, and then we'll take a look and think about some types of restrictions or deviations from that normal clean type of audit report that we would put together under normal or good conditions if everything runs smoothly through the audit process. Now, later on, we'll go through the audit report in more detail as we go through the steps of the audit, but we want to get a good idea of what the endpoint will be as we go through and start through the audit process. So audit report for a public company, so now we're thinking about publicly traded companies typically here, we're going to have a title line which includes independent registered public accounting firm. So we're going to be saying, hey, this is an independent registered publicly accounting firm that hopefully will give some assurance to the reader of the audit report. Why? Because we're saying, hey, we're independent. We're not part of the company. Therefore, you can depend on what we're saying a little bit more, hopefully, than the company itself because we're not invested in the company in the same way that, of course, management or an agent of the company would be. We'll discuss more about matters of independence later in future presentations. Also note that audit reports for non publicly traded companies will most likely take a very similar type of format. But of course, the more stringent type of format, the longer type of format is going to be those for the publicly traded companies are typically going to have more types of regulations. Therefore, that's the one we usually will consider then possibly tone it back a bit or look at those types of situations or the wording, which may not be as necessary or restricted with regards to non publicly traded types of companies. So the rules do differ slightly. Usually the rules are more stringent or more strict with regard to publicly traded companies, larger companies usually addressed to the stockholders and board of directors of the company. So note what's happening with the audit is we're going to have an audit if the publicly traded audit, it's because it's required to have an audit in order to be publicly traded. Who's going to be hiring the auditor, the company, the company's hiring the auditor because they're the ones that are required to have an audit in order to be a publicly traded company. Therefore, the audit, who is the audit going to be given to you're basically saying, hey, here's our opinion. That's what the audit is. That's what the audit report is our opinion as the auditor, who are we going to address this letter to this opinion to the stockholders and board of directors of the company. That's usually who we think is the most important for for our audit report, right? The board of directors is going to be in charge in essence of regulating the actions of management of the company. The stockholders are the people that own the company and vote for then the board of directors, the board of directors, then the people that hire management. So the audit then, judging the fairness of the financial statements is in essence, or in some degree, some type of check or regulation on a very enlarged companies that have this separation of duties or have a less direct management or type of agency issue between the owners, stockholders, and of course, the management who are a couple steps removed, the management being hired by the board of directors, board of directors being voted on by the stockholders. So in essence, the audit can be thought of as something of a kind of a review of whether or not the information is being put together in accordance with what the job of management is to do, which is to put the financial statements together in accordance with the assertions of whatever regulations they're putting them together in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, often being the case for for profit types of organization. Audit report sections include the opinion, opinion on the financial statements. So we're going to give the auditor's opinion on the financial statements. A paragraph with the auditor's opinion of internal controls if report on internal controls is included in a separate report. So as we go through the opinion, we're going to of course give our opinion on the financial statements. That's the end product. That's what the audit report is given to do. And then we will include the basis for the opinion. The critical audit matters. And then it's going to end with the signature of the CPA firm. The year the audit began serving as auditor, the year the auditor began serving as auditor, city and state where report is issued and the date of the report. Now let's think about different types of opinions. Now normally you would think that the audit report what we're gearing towards is to have an unqualified opinion. This is the highest level of opinion. It sounds funny because you have unqualified sounds like a negation type of term. But what it means is it is a negation type of term, but it doesn't seem like the type of word that you would have for the best report that you can give. The one we're actually looking for is unqualified. And what we're saying here is that, look the financial statements are good. The assertions are in compliance. They are in compliance with the assertions. They say they're in compliance with. They put the financial statements in accordance with whatever format they said they were going to, such as generally accepted accounting principles. And we don't have any qualifications that we have found to that being the case within our audit. So it takes a little bit of time, at least it did for me to look at something that's called unqualified as actually what we're expecting to happen. So we're hoping if everything goes well, everybody really wants to issue an unqualified opinion at the end of the day. What we would like to happen is management wants to say, hey, I'd like to hire an auditor. I'd really like the auditor to say, hey, you did a great job. Everything looks good in accordance with the format that you were following in terms of generally accepted accounting principles possibly. The auditor really wants to basically say, I've checked everything out. I've reviewed it as best I can. And I've gone through all the evidence and all the evidence does show that you have indeed put the financial statements together in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. I have no qualifications to that. And therefore I'm going to give an unqualified or clean audit report on it. That's what everybody wants to happen. That's what happens hopefully most of the time. I mean, if you have good clients that are putting this together, good companies and the auditor will talk about what type of clients auditors will work with and how to pick clients and that kind of thing later. But if you have a good set of clients that are putting together good financial statements and are adhering to the regulations, then of course we would expect that most of our clients would have and we would be issuing unqualified, best clean type of audit reports. And if someone wants to ask us why we gave the unqualified report, then we can provide the audit evidence in order to support our opinion about our good clean clients that have been doing their job properly, representing the financial statements in accordance with whatever type of regulations they're saying they're representing their financial statements in. So that's what we would expect, unqualified. That's going to be the baseline report. That's what everybody's hoping to happen. Now we might have qualifications though. However, what if there is an issue? What if there's a qualification? Well, there's going to be some kind of standards that we're going to have to say. So if, and we'll go into this in a bit more detail, but if there's a problem, what we're saying here is it's not totally unqualified. We have a qualification here. So this, we might say, and you can imagine this is saying this looks good except for this qualification, right? Which is basically this blemish, it looks good kind of thing. And so we'll discuss that in a little bit more detail shortly. We could have an adverse opinion, which is basically, and that's not good. We would basically be saying no. And we'll talk a little bit more about that opinion as well. And we could have a disclaimer of opinion, which basically means we cannot have, we're not going to be able to issue an opinion on these financial statements. So let's take a look at that in a bit more depth. First, the unqualified opinion, which we talked about a bit already, the auditor's report audit opinion is the main product or output of the audit. So just remember, that's of course what we're trying to do. That's the product that we're giving is the opinion on the report. That's what's lending to the trust of the third parties by a third party opinion from us. And that's going to increase, hopefully the confidence in the financial statements and therefore better and more business transactions will take place because of it, because of the transparency, because of the communication in it and people's more better reliance on it. So the standard unqualified clean audit report is the most common type of report issued. And of course, that's the one we're looking for. We're hoping that we can give a clean report. We want to say that we did everything well. Here's the clean report. Everything looks great as we knew it would be because we have good clients and everything's pushing forward as it well. Unqualified means that because the financial statements are free of material misstatements, so they don't have the material misstatements and recall what material means, those that would change the opinion of a decision maker that is gonna be a decision maker that is reasonable. So we have that term reasonable decision maker. The auditor does not find it necessary to qualify his or her opinion. So we don't have a but in there, right? We don't have a, this is the way it is, but except qualification about the fairness of the financial statements. So what about, what if we do have a qualification? What if there's a problem? So we don't have the most standard, there's a qualification. So this is another type of audit report. We're gonna have to qualify our opinion then. If an auditor's financial statements contain a misstatement that the auditor considers material and management refuses to correct the misstatement. So note there, we'll talk a little bit more about this later, but note how we have that we found a misstatement. And not only that, we're gonna say, hey, the financial statements are wrong. We found this misstatement and management says, I'm not gonna fix it for whatever reason. Maybe they have a good reason to do it or whatever, but they're not gonna fix it. And that would mean, and it might be good. It might be a good reason. They might say, hey, that's gonna misrepresent our financial statements. And we're gonna say, but that's what generally accepted accounting principles says to do. It says you have to do this. And they might say, well, I'm not gonna do it because I think it misrepresents my financial statements in this way, shape or form. And we might go, ah, well, we can't issue an opinion saying that the financial statements are correcting the courts with generally accepted accounting principle with this material misstatement on it. And therefore, if you don't fix it, then, or change it, then we're gonna have to put a qualification on the financial statement in some way. Or if the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient evidence regarding a specific account. Another situation might be, well, you're not giving me enough information to get at this number, this particular number, I can't get at it because you're not giving me the information to test it for what, and again, there might be valid reasons that might be in another country. We might not have the ability to do that. So for whatever reason, it might be a valid reason, but we can't do it, can't test this thing. Therefore, we have a qualification. The auditor might may qualify the report explaining that the financial statements are fairly stated, except for misstatement identified by the auditor. So we're gonna say, either there's a misstatement or there's something that we couldn't fully verify. And therefore, look, everything we tested is good, everything's good, except this one particular point, qualification, I couldn't test it, or I don't believe it's in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. And that's our qualification. Adverse, what about an adverse opinion? This isn't good. If the auditee's financial statements contain a misstatement that the auditor considers so material that it perversely affects the interpretation of the financial statements, the auditor will issue an adverse opinion, indicating that the financial statements are not fairly stated and should not be relied upon. Now, if it comes to the point where we're gonna say, hey, we're gonna issue an adverse opinion, it's very rare that you would actually issue the adverse opinion, because probably what will happen before that point in time is you're gonna start to indicate problems and you're gonna say, hey, look, you're not giving me this information, I can't find this, this looks wrong, this looks like it's not reported correctly and you're not, and you don't seem willing to change it or anything like that. And what probably will end up happening is instead of it, and we get to the adverse opinion, we might have a disclaimer or the engagement may end at some point in time. In other words, if we're going through the engagement from the planning process all the way to the audit report, and things have not gone bad going good through that process, the process might be terminated before the end of the time period or we might be in a situation where we were unable to get the information we needed and then issue a disclaimer of opinion. If not, then if we went all the way through and issued the opinion, and again, this is our report, this is the end product that we're trying to do here, the audit report, and they're looking for an unqualified opinion. We give an adverse opinion, people aren't gonna be happy with this, but we have to follow the regulations on whatever the regulations are. So just note that adverse opinion, of course, is saying that there's gonna be an auditor's financial statements contain a misstatement that the auditor considers so material that it perversely affects the interpretation of the financial statements. So we cannot give an opinion on it like we would like to do that would be unqualified or even qualified. We have to say adverse. And again, at that point in time, I mean, at some point, that might be just something that terminates the engagement and we end up not issuing the report or disclaiming the report could happen before an adverse opinion or report is given because obviously an adverse report would be of no use to a company because they wouldn't be able to use it for if they needed a bank loan or something like that. That's not what they're looking to get. So again, that would have to happen, but it's not what we would expect to be happening. And then there's a disclaimer. If a scope limitation is so large that it limits the ability of the auditor to make an opinion on the financial statements. And again, this might actually be more common, of course, because it could be the case that we just can't conduct the audit for either legitimate reasons or not. It might be that the client is not giving us the information for whatever reason. Scope limitation means that we just can't get to the information. We can't get enough information usually on something in order to basically get an opinion on it. So for example, they might have a part of their company in China or something like that and regulations are such that we can't get to it. And if that part of the company is substantial enough, we're gonna say, we can't test it. We can't test that part of the company. And so we can't give an opinion on it. And so we could end up in the fact that we have to disclaim it because we just don't have the ability to test on it. And then so we would issue the disclaimer. The auditor will issue a disclaimer of opinion indicating that it's not possible to express an opinion on the fairness of the financial statement. So we're just gonna say, hey, there's a scope limitation. This is what we need to do in order to do the audit. We can't do it because we can't get the information either because management or whatever won't provide it to us or there are certain other limitations such as regulatory limitations, limitations on us. Maybe we're not big enough to be in all these different countries that are gonna be necessary or to complete the audit or we're being restricted by government regulation, say in other countries or other states or something like that. Therefore, we can't give an opinion because we couldn't gather the evidence in order to give one.


On the breakfast, the Court of Appeals sitting in Abu Dhabi, discharge Namedi Kanu, leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, iPop, of terrorism charges. Also on the breakfast, as breast cancer awareness continues in October, we'll be speaking with a health expert on the issue. And don't forget, we'll also be looking through today's newspapers, analyzing the biggest stories of the day. Welcome, it's a beautiful Tuesday morning and it feels really great to have you back on the show with us. It promises to be two hours of great conversation and a great insight. Now, and I hope that you will be with us all the way. I am Messi Boko and thanks for joining us. As always, to set off with our conversation, top trending. These are issues that are, you know, that we have a lot of engagement reaction from different quarters, talking about social media and off social media. Now, one of that is that, you know, the president of ASU, Emmanuel Souduke, has complained about lecturers not having transport fare, you know, to go to school or to go for lectures or to resume, however you want to look at it. But let's get back to the conversation. We know that ASU has actually been on that particular strike for eight months and on the eighth month, the code of the strike that's on the 4th cent of October. However, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Femig Bajabia-Mila, had expressed pleasure with the decision of the union to suspend the strike. Now, according to them, they said that the decision to call off the strike allows students and public capacity to resume academic activities. But, you know, the speaker added that the suspension of the strike does not mean that the issues of funding, education, education standard and student welfare have been resolved. So that's it. But like I mentioned earlier on, the president of the union disclosed that members of the body may find it very delicate to get back to their separate schools on Monday. That was yesterday, as I do not have money for transport. So it sounds very funny. And he said that unlike those days, it was very easy when lecturers or, you know, lecturers leave them staff quarters. That's what you call it. Very close to the premise of the school or premises if you want to say. But he said that that's a different, you know, conversation right now because some of them leave like 20, 30 kilometers away from the school. And following the strike, they haven't been paid for about eight months. And so that's a conversation. I mean, it just goes to show what's going on with us and the government. However, I read that. I mean, we talked about the thoughts of Femme Bajabia Mila talking about that. The strike that have been called does not necessarily mean that all of the issues have been resolved, talking about standard of education, what have you that has not been resolved. It just means that it allows room for negation and more conversation. But this is the issue. I think that they might just also be a subtle way to say that, hey, government was slowing down. It's a possibility that we probably might just end back on another strike action because we haven't been paid. But I want you to think about it. I want you to imagine this. What would he mean for you to work and not be paid for eight months?  How do you go through the entire process? I think that these lectures probably might just be going through a lot. We hear that some of these lectures have died and in the course of all of this because a lot of them depend on what has a coming for them to pay for their medical bills and what have you. They might necessarily be allowed. But what we will do here as a station is that we'll monitor the activities right here at the universities to see if academic activities have resumed in different universities as it were. Now, that's to, you know, make sense of the fact that the ASU chairman or president has actually complained of members not having transportation to go about lectures or to go to school and have to go about their businesses. It's really saddening. There might also be a tendency that, you know, if the government does not act because as it is, the salaries have not been paid for the past eight months. And that's why this complaint has been put out. But like I mentioned rightly, we would also be looking out at whether or not academic activities have resumed in our universities. OK, and we'll bring you all of the report. But away from that, let's talk about the flood and the flooding situation in Nigeria. It's really unfortunate and saddening. Well, the federal government has actually set up two measures. Flood fund and national policies on flood insurance to mitigate the effects of floods in the country. That document on national flood emergency preparedness and response plan, which was obtained by, you know, reports. I mean, those were looking for information. We got that document and it shows that flood fund will be drawn from 0.1 percent of money is released from crude oil account and 0.1 percent of taxes generated by Federal Inland Revenue Service. And all the expected funding avenues are donation, endowment, grant and gifts. Also included as fund sources are emergency and disaster management related to budget lines in ministries, departments, agencies, budgets, ecological fund, an emergency fund, donor partners and any presidential directives. The lease is almost endless. So I really don't understand because as a yesterday when we spoke with our resource person, there were several complaints about the government not responding and we're not aware of any response from the federal government as regards the flooding and what's going on, especially with the situation with Cameroon and the dam and the water that's been released. However, there was an agreement that was not respected by the Nigerian government or the Nigerian people. And that's very, very responsible for the flooding situation that we're faced with. It's quite saddening. But it sounds like all of this proposal and propositions of government is you would like to say that this is a long term projection. This is like a long term. We're talking about the now. What is done? Houses have been destroyed. Lives and properties lost in the course of this. People have died.  Properties is going to be lost. It's a lot is coming. And we understand that a lot of states that around this particular region, you might just trickle down because there's a trickle down effect. What if it gets across the entire country? We're talking about the 30 states of the federation, including the FCT. What becomes of Nigeria? So I really don't understand what's happening. I mean, we have been trying to understand the dynamics, the fact that there's no response that we are aware of at this point in time. From the government, we're talking about short term solution. We're not talking about long term solution. What can we do now to save the situation? We have people who are dying. Lives and properties have been lost on a daily basis. And economic activities have been caught short. There's also a prediction of food crisis. We might also be facing food insecurity. These are some of the issues. What are we doing to solve the problem? What are we doing now? What are the short term plans? Because this looks like a lot of process. We're talking about bureaucratic process that might just hamper. So I'm hoping that the Nigerian government and all stakeholders, the state government would wake up. Everyone would be up and be ready to ensure that we are at all of this danger that's happening. OK, so the states that are around, let's begin to look at how we can mitigate the issue, what we can do, save the people. Do we need to declare a state of emergency? Because if we declare a state of emergency, it would just allow help to come from different parts of the world. Already we have some organization, but it's already trying to help other situation and help people survive. I'm sure you don't even want to think about you being in that situation. It's not something you want to imagine, but it's unfortunate and it's very saddening. And to all of the people who have lost their lives in the course of all of this, we ask that they are so rest in peace. And we hope that the government of Niger would rise up to her responsibility. Away from that, this will be the last for us. Festus Kiamo has reacted to the massive protests in France. So I'd like to read up from his Twitter handle, verified Twitter handle of Festus Kiamo that got a lot of Nigerians talking. So he took to Twitter about some hours ago, and he said massive protests on the streets of Pari over soaring prices. Meanwhile, some are still planning to jack by abroad. Jack by is a word that's very, very peculiar to us. So if you hear someone say Jack by does say he's a Nigerian, or he lives in Nigeria and he understand what it means to Jack by. As if Nigerians or Nigeria is in isolation from the present global issues. Some who knows the issues are already deceiving Nigerians and playing local politics with global issues. Now this was actually a thought that was put out by Festus Kiamo on his verified Twitter handle with a video. I'm hoping that I wish we can actually put out that video. You would see the crowd. I mean, it's a lot. I haven't seen this kind of, I mean, population gathered at the time. Look at that. This is so much. A lot of people gathered. That's a protest. Now what happened with this, you know, post? Unfortunately, I was hoping, I'm sure that Festus Kiamo was hoping to get a different reaction from Nigerians, but he got another reaction that I'm sure he never anticipated. And some people quoted today. We're looking at today's the 18th day in the month of October, two days more before an anniversary of the Leci protests. Some people said, Oh, no, how can you compare? What's the essence of this comparison? If you were in your country with Nigerians, can Nigerians actually go on the streets? Just as you have right there in France, people tronking out to protest about, you know, the global situation, talking about inflation, the hike and the prices of goods and services in France. That's it. Can Nigerians go out on the streets and have this protest without any form of resistance from the government or intimidation? It's the questions that is a question that a lot of Nigerians have posed, you know, to the spectacular post from Festus Kiamo. And no one is even talking about whether or not because there's no, there's no climate or there's no country. There's no perfect system. There's no perfect government because there are no absolute, they're just relative. And that's what it is. Protest has always been a tool that, you know, the people have used to achieve a result over the years. And that's what it is. Protest has also been a tool. People use protest as a tool to demand good governance, good policy. And this is not different from what you're seeing in France. As much as you say there's a global inflation and Nigeria is not leaving an isolation, but can we cast them out back? Can we take our minds back to the time where things were not the way they were in 2015 or prior to 2015? I mean, looking at the economy, what have we been able to achieve?  And we're talking about the issue of flooding and food insecurity. And he said that it would really be wrong for us as a country to constantly blame the war in Ukraine and COVID and what have you on the current economic situation of the country. Because prior to this time, we existed as a country and we had our issues, issues that were very peculiar, the issue of insecurity. He thrived and he also contributed to, you know, some of the issues that we're experiencing. If you also talk about the fact that we're very reliant on oil and its earnings, let's also talk about our ability to meet our quota. These are internal issues. So it would be unfair, like our resource person said, for us to blame all of the issues that were faced with us as a country on external issues and also forgetting the fact that we have been very big on internal crisis, the fact that we're able to leave up to expectation internally and you just have to meet up with the current reality of the globe because we don't live in isolation. But that has been the issue. But it was so important as a reminder for every government that all quotas and everywhere to understand that protection of lives and property and showing that, you know, securities provided to everyone, it's always government responsibility. Government exists for this reason. That is why government exists. The people will submit their will, they will pay their taxes, they will do X, Y, Z and in turn the government will provide, you know, the basic things of life. But have we been able as a people to leave up to expectation and we, you know, respected, you know, the social contracts? That's it this morning. And off our top trending, we'll take a break and when we return, we'll be looking at the front pages of the National Dailys. We call it off the press. Please stay with us. Good morning.

Justice, Development and Peace characters in collaboration with Catholic Youth Organization in Nigeria, Kaduna Archdiocese, have called on Nigerian youth to vote politicians who would run a purposeful government if elected into office in 2023. The group set this during a sensitization for peace and unity ahead of the elections. Plus TV News correspondent Habila Dorofai filed on this report. Over the years, Kaduna state has withness electoral violence, ethnic crisis, which has led to loss of lives and property of innocent citizens, hence the need for constant peace advocacy during and after the elections. The coordinator said that youths remain the life wire of every society, hence the need to use their permanent voters card judiciously. The youth are formidable force. If you look at the percentage of those who have registered for the next election, you discover that the youths have the highest percentage, over 70 percent, you know, and so it goes a long way to say that the youths will really affect the change if at all they want to. The more reason why we brought them here, so that they can listen and then learn and relearn as well, and then get the needed information so that they can go out and affect the change we all desire. Also, the guest speaker, Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs Kaduna state, Samwala Rowan, stressed advice to youths who actively participate in politics, shone bitterness and embraced mentorship. The 2020 election has also produced another dynamic, and that is why we're having a lot of tension. But further, and my fellow participants here, I want to tell you Nigeria is very strong. Nigeria has a spirit of resilience. At the end of 2023 elections, Nigeria will remain. However, the Kaduna state resident, Commissioner of INEC, said the commission is ready for free, fair and credible elections, adding that the beavers are more reliable and capable than the card readers. Now we've added the facials. Your face will have to be identified in addition to the fingerprints. And there is a very, very great improvement in the life of the battery. As a matter of fact, we've received all the concern for Kaduna state as I'm talking with you, and we are ready to go. The stakeholders insist that Nigerian youths must not allow themselves to be used to cause confusion as the future of the country lies in their hands.


The word infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving the country, city, or other area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure is composed of public and private physical improvements such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grims, telecommunications including internet connectivity and broadband speeds. In general, it has also been defined as the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions. San Francisco Ferry Building at night There are two general types of ways to view infrastructure, hard or soft. word infrastructure refers to the physical networks necessary for the functioning of a modern industry. This includes roads, bridges, railways, etc. Soft infrastructure refers to all the institutions that maintain the economic, health, social, and cultural standards of a country. This includes educational programs, parks and recreational facilities, law enforcement agencies, and emergency services. The word infrastructure has been used in English since 1887 and in French since 1875, originally meaning the installations that form the basis for any operation or system. The word was imported from French, where it means subgrade, the native material underneath a constructed pavement or railway. The word is a combination of the Latin prefix in for meaning below and many of these constructions are underground, for example, tunnels, water and gas systems, and railways.
