Fill-in stations, particularly those in some satellite towns of Abuja, dispense petrol at rates higher than the approved 165 L per litre price on Wednesday, as queues in the federal capital territory gradually reduced. Thousands of commuters had been left stranded for hours at various bus stops in Abuja and neighbouring states of Nassarawah and Niger on Tuesday, following widespread petrol scarcity that hit the areas. The Niger National Petroleum Corporation had to intervene by releasing over a thousand trucks of petrol to help ameliorate the situation. The petrol supply situation improved on Wednesday as a scarcity dropped leading to a reduction in the number of motorists queuing at fill-in stations. It was, however, observed that while fill-in stations in the city centre and those along major expressways in Abuja dispense petrol at the regulated price, their counterparts in remote locations in satellite towns sold the commodity at higher rates.


What is up Tuesday? It's what's happening around the shop, and today what's happening around the shop is laser two is not cutting through. So it's time for a little bit of spring cleaning, we're going to wipe down the rails, we're going to use a magic eraser and some water and some paper towels, we're going to wipe down the rails, wipe down the belts, then we're going to oil the rails, oil the little wheels that are inside the rails, and then we'll get to cleaning the lenses and and the mirror.  We're gonna remove all the old oil and grime, we're gonna hit it with a magic eraser, follow it up with a paper towel. Alright we're gonna go wash our hands and make sure all the grease oils and dusts are off of our fingers, then we're gonna come back and clean the mirrors. So I'm gonna wash my hands. Yeah Garrett's washing his hands, I've got fresh baby hands, but what you guys don't know is that this place K&G workshops also doubles as a spot. So let's go see what Kim's doing real quick. Hey Kim, how are you? Having a spa day? Looking good. To clean the mirrors we're gonna use this alcohol solution and some q-tips, we're just gonna do all three mirrors. All three huh? All three. Oh we're going back there. Yeah we'll go back to the back, it's been a while since we cleaned back there. It's been a minute. Have a gentle touch when you're cleaning the mirrors on your eraser because they are super finicky and you don't want to scratch them or have them shift out of position. Are we gonna start with this? I'm gonna raise the head all the way up. Yep. So I can take the spacers out. Order for us to get to the lens on our eraser, we have to take off the nozzle and we have to take off the entire head. This ruler actually doubles as a screwdriver.  He has the same solution. While cleaning it we noticed we had these little dots all over the lens. We weren't able to get them off and I think we're gonna need a new lens. Inserting the new lens we had to make sure that the concave side goes up and then we're gonna add the metal washer and then we're gonna screw back in the little holder piece, the screw holder. What are you doing here? I'm setting the focus height for a quarter inch MDF. We marked this little triangle so we know what it's like. How many times have you lost that triangle? Oh, every day for like the last three years. All right, next we're gonna align all of the mirrors. We're gonna use some packing tape to put over the mirror. We're gonna give it a pulse and we're gonna check to see where it hit on this packing tape. We're gonna start with the back mirror and then work our way to the lens. So I'll go back there Tanner. Be sure to use packing tape because I've definitely caught different types of tape on fire. Yes, packing tape does not burn and it won't catch on fire. We're gonna bring the power down on this so that we're not blasting, so that we're not gonna blast through the tape and everything. We just want to bring it down to like 15 or 20 percent just enough so it'll get through the tape and we'll be able to see where it's actually hitting. Pretty good too. So we're gonna use these little screws back here to adjust it until we hit it in the quarter turn. I can never remember which way to turn these screws so I made myself a little cheat sheet. Here it is in the top left. I will leave a link to this down in the description below.  Maybe an eighth of a turn. Nothing too big. If it gets too far gone it's hard to hard to bring it back. We're just gonna keep firing it and then keep twisting those screws until we get it dead center. So here we are doing the same process we were doing with the mirrors but at the tip of the laser head. It doesn't move much but it's always nice to double check. Alright that looks center too. You can see it. Alright everything's looking good in center. We're gonna do a test cut now. We're just gonna cut out a circle in a square. See how it goes. There's some circles and they are not big at all. So we'll just draw a little square, a little circle, check our settings. They look right. That's how we cut on this laser. And it should be good. Important stuff. Oh yeah. Do not forget to set your power back. That's right. It's not forget to set our power back. All good for our test. Alright nice and clean. Looking a little hot. Whoa! It cut out perfect. Of course it cut out perfect. We cleaned up the rails. We oiled the rails. We cleaned up the lenses. We cleaned up the mirrors. We got a good test cut. We're back in business. Look at that. Kim out great. All of our curfing is perfect. So we are good to go. And we are about out of time. So we will see you on Friday where we'll build it and make it again. And we'll replace Tanner with Kim. Getting the ax all ready? Yeah. Alright.


What's the deadliest backroom's level to get stuck on? Well, there's backroom's level 7, that comes to mind first, especially if you don't like water, because that's all there is. But of course, there's level Run For Your Life, which is obviously terrifying because running for your life down a hallway while being chased by creatures is not a fun time. Then there's level You Cheated, which I think is personally the most dangerous, especially since you could just accidentally get sent here without knowing. Then you're forced to run around a maze for weeks while something chases you from the shadows. Nice. What do you think the most dangerous backroom's level is? Let me know.


Another way of expressing the future tense is by what's called the going to future tense. Here we have our examples of they are going to watch, they are not going to watch, and the question are they going to watch? Here the important words are the helping verb to be conjugated appropriately based upon our subject. We've got the word going, the word to, and the base form of any verb that follows. To add the negative we'll put not in between are and going, and again to make the question we'll invert the subject and the helping verb resulting in are they going to watch. There are two usages for the going to future tense and they are as follows. They indicate future plans with intentions that have been decided upon before speaking. We could for example say they are going to watch a film. I know that they've decided to go watch a film and I want to make a statement about them. I can say they are going to watch a film. Or we can have predictions, but this time the predictions are actually based upon evidence. I can see black clouds building in the sky coming towards me and I might say something like it's going to rain.


Hello and welcome to this presentation on ST's Intelligent Power Modules focusing on our SLIM second series. SLIM stands for Small Low-Loss Intelligent Molded Module and it is a trademark of ST Microelectronics. In this presentation we will discover ST's SLIM second series of Intelligent Power Modules IPMs designed for high performance and best efficiency in three phase inverters for motor drives and in general for home appliances. We will see what makes IPMs so interesting. The features and benefits of the SLIM second series, the different package options and products to cover a wider power range and to approach different applications with a focus on direct bonded copper DBC packages. Then we will see some benchmarks to verify the power and thermal performance of the SLIM second series and discuss the new Super Junction MOSFET based SLIM second series. Finally we will give an overview of available tools and software dedicated to our IPMs. In many modern applications belonging to the motor control sector, the integration of passive and active components is a fundamental requirement to reduce size and weight. The main purpose of IPM is to introduce a plug and play solution where peripheral circuitry and power devices ranging from IGBT technology, planar and trench gate field stop and MOSFET planar or Super Junction are embedded in the same package. This leads to higher power dissipation, lower losses and EMI noise, improved manufacturability and PCB routing, reduced design time and improved reliability. Our Intelligent Power Modules IPMs cover the entire motor control sector both in low and medium power motor drives for home appliances as well as high power motor drives for industrial applications. Whichever motor technology you use, ST is able to supply the right electronic device. The main feature of our SLIM second series is that it is designed to be the best IPM solution for three phase inverters up to three kilowatts for use in home appliances. This result is achieved thanks to our technology controlled 100% by ST for silicon, drivers, IGBTs, MOSFETs and diodes and our flexibility to address market needs with a wide current range from 1 to 35 amps for power scalability as well as UL certification. Today's extensive SLIM family consists of two main series, SLIM Nano first and second series and the SLIM second series. In 2008, ST started developing its SLIM family of small low loss intelligent molded modules with the first single and three phase IPMs. With the introduction of TFSIGBT technology in 2012, it became possible to develop the new SLIM second series in a smaller package. This trend to save space continued from 2016 up to now when the SLIM Nano series was developed and improved with a range of IPMs available in an SMD package. ST continues to improve its SLIM family as evidenced by the release of new super junction MOSFET based products at the end of October 2018. Designed to be the best solution for home appliances, thanks to its wide current scalability, the SLIM IPMs can be found in all types of white goods. Able to work in low power applications such as roller shutters, fans, dishwashers, for fridges, drum motors, and drain pumps for washing machines, they can also be used in medium and high power applications including air conditioners, servo motors, and in any motor drive up to three kilowatts. SLIM second series modules offer key features including high flexibility and enhanced efficiency thanks to the 600 volt in trench gate field stop IGBT or super junction MOSFET technology as well as their very wide current range from 8 up to 35 amps. Two package solutions are available full molded or DBC direct bonded copper together with a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 degrees Celsius for IGBT and 150 degrees Celsius for super junction MOSFET and the best thermal resistance on the market. These modules offer improved thermal performance. Moreover, the two temperature monitoring solutions, a temperature sensor and a negative temperature coefficient in TC thermostore, in addition to other special features ensure protection functions embedded in the power module. Combining six switches in an inverter configuration with a 600 volt breakdown voltage, current capability from 8 up to 35 amps at 25 degrees Celsius and optimized gate drivers, SLIM second series devices provide a low VCE sat, the lowest RTH on the market for DBC packages, low EMI and an isolation rating of 1500 VRMS per minute. With internal bootstrap diodes, a maximum operating junction temperature of 170 degrees Celsius and a separated open emitter for current sensing, these devices include an onboard NTC thermostore and temperature sensor, comparator and shutdown circuit to ensure protection against overcurrent and undervoltage conditions. As said, these modules can be used in any three phase inverter design, including refrigerators, pumps and compressors, washing machines, air conditioners, servo drives and all types of motor drives, up to three kilowatts. Using six superjunction MOSFETs with low on resistance and the lowest thermal resistance on the market with a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 degrees Celsius, the SLIM second series in superjunction MOSFET technology differs from the previous series in that it helps applications working at light load condition like air conditioners, BLDC compressors and so on achieve better performance. In regards to packages, ST offers two solutions, a full molded version for a cost effective solution ideal for low to medium power platforms and a DBC direct bonded copper version that offers improved thermal dissipation for applications in the high power range. Both packages are DIP molded with a lead frame for the signal side with enhanced creepage and an improved pinout for easier PCB designs. A three lead option is also available with long, medium or short leads. Lame leads are only available on the full molded version, 8 and 10 amps at 25 degrees Celsius. An important improvement in package technology is the use of the DBC structure in which two layers of copper are directly bonded onto an aluminum oxide ceramic base. This structure gives excellent electrical isolation, high thermal conductivity, high current carrying capability and mechanical strength. Together with the vacuum soldering process that prevents gas inclusions and the superjunction MOSFET technology, this structure ensures higher reliability and the lowest thermal resistance value on the market. This figure clearly shows that for the same current capability, the full molded package has 4.6 degrees centigrade per watt and the DBC with IGBT has 2.26 degrees centigrade per watt, while the DBC with superjunction MOSFET technology has a thermal resistance of only 1.1 degrees centigrade per watt. The SLIM second series family includes two temperature monitoring solutions, a temperature sensor integrated on the LS low side gate driver and an NTC, negative temperature coefficient thermistor placed in the power stage. A voltage proportional to the temperature is available on the TSO, temperature sensor output and the delta temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. For accurate junction temperature monitoring, a temperature measurement is available on the NTC pins. The advantage of having the NTC is the possibility to accurately monitor the temperature thanks to a delta temperature of 1.2 degrees Celsius instead of 10 degrees Celsius with the VTSO sensor. The nomenclature of these products is very simple and easy to memorize. Each digit refers to a specific characteristic. As part of ST, G stands for IGBT based, I stands for IPM. The next digit refers to the package solution, B for DBC and F for full molded, following a digit for the current indication at 80 degrees Celsius. The next digit refers to the IGBT technology speed, CH for TFSH series IGBT, M for TFSM series IGBT, then the breakdown voltage divided by 10, XYZ refers to temperature sensing and protection, T means NTC on board, S for temperature sensor. The last digit refers to the lead finish options, L for long leads, E for short leads and E midder forward, X for medium leads only for full molded package. A different nomenclature is used for the superjunction MOSFET based slim devices. As part of ST, I stands for IPM, B for DBC package, continuous drain current at 25 degrees Celsius, breakdown voltage divided by 10, DM2 is the MOSFET technology, MD mesh, DM2 in this case, T means NTC on board, L means long lead finish option. The product portfolio in mass production includes the full molded version with current capability from 8 to 15 amps and the DBC version from 12 up to 35 amps, both with a breakdown voltage of 600 volts. Let's highlight the minimum thermal resistance of 1.2 degrees centigrade per watt for DBC devices to improve thermal performance in high power range applications. The short circuit with stand time is 5 microseconds for slim devices from 8 up to 20 amps and 8 microseconds for 25 and 35 amps. For the new slim devices with superjunction MOSFET technology, two current sizes are available 10 and 15 amp with 180 and 150 mili ohms respectively and with a higher short circuit with stand time equal to 12 microseconds. Why do we say that our IPMs are the best solution in the market? To answer this question, we will look at some benchmarks in order to verify the advantages of using ST products versus those of the competition. In this first benchmark, our STGI B8H60 has been compared with the same current size competitor. In this first benchmark, our STGI B8H60 has been compared with the same current size competitor. The two have been simulated in a washing machine in working condition. The results show us that for a peak current of 5 amps, ST's IPM performs better than the competitors over the whole frequency range, reducing power losses by about 18.5 percent at 20 kilohertz. In the thermal simulation, we see that for a case temperature fixed at 100 degrees Celsius and an ambient temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, our IPM needs a smaller heat sink to maintain the fixed case temperature and ensure a lower junction temperature as shown in the figure. In a second simulation, using STGI B10CH60 in an air conditioner in working conditions, again, ST's IPM shows better performance, reducing power losses by about 8 to 9 percent, requiring a smaller heat sink to maintain the fixed case temperature and showing a junction temperature that's about 10 degrees Celsius less. Now, let's talk about the differences in performance arising from the use of the two different silicon technologies. Why choose one over the other? In MOSFET technology, the forward voltage decreases linearly with the drain current, whereas in IGBT technology, the voltage drop is not linear with the collector current. Thanks to their static characteristics, power MOSFETs offer lower conduction loss than IGBTs at a low current level. Therefore, for low load conditions, the superjunction MOSFET is better than the IGBT, whilst in full load conditions, the IGBT performs better. This slide specifically shows two working condition cases, a fan and an air conditioning compressor, both working at the same switching frequency of 6.5 kHz, comparing the performance of a 15 amp superjunction MOSFET to an IGBT with the same current size. In both cases, the results show a reduction in power losses and an efficiency increase over the entire input power range using the superjunction MOSFET IPM. Another important aspect that must be taken into consideration is electromagnetic interference, EMI, which can affect other devices through conductive coupling, and the electrical length of the conductors may effectively allow this noise to radiate. In fact, any electronic device is a potential source of noise, both on the power network of the installation and the overall power grid. From this analysis made at 400 watts and 8 kHz, we can see clearly that superjunction MOSFET intelligent power modules have a similar behavior to IGBT-based ones. Note, please consider EMI level only as a relative value between the two devices. Board and environment are not fully optimized for this test. After an internal benchmark, we compared our IPM with the competitors, the only one on the market. On the left, you can see that our IPM is well equipped with an NTC VTSO, and we guarantee a higher junction temperature, lower thermal resistance, and a visible short circuit with stand time. Moreover, it is pin-to-pin compatible. On the right, we can see the output characteristics that reveal similar behavior, and thus a similar on-state resistance. Comparing the same evaluation as before, both in fans and in air conditioners, ST's superjunction MOSFET intelligent power module is in line with the competitors, both in terms of power loss and efficiency. Repeating the EMI comparison, also in this case, our IPM performance is similar to the competitors as shown on the graph. Note, please consider EMI level only as a relative value between the two devices. Board and environment are not fully optimized for this test. In order to help developers become familiar with the module, a power board equipped with the SLIM second series is available. This easy-to-use solution for driving high power motors with minimal BOM and high efficiency is protected against overcurrent and overtemperature conditions and can interface with ST MCU boards. The dynamic electrothermal simulation software dedicated to power devices is now available. ST Power Studio is a comprehensive and powerful power and thermal analysis that allows developers to both simulate our products and to have immediately all the info about the performance of our intelligent power modules. Various support materials are also available from www.st.com and or upon request including flyers and technical notes, development boards and evaluation software tools, promotional plastic panels, presentations and reference designs.

Welcome, this is Corey Dahl and with me today I have another guest from Norfolk Public Schools. This is Mickey Mueller. I'm the Educational Technology Facilitator for Norfolk Public Schools and the unofficial face of Google at Norfolk Public Schools. Okay, I'll have to add that to the slide next time. Today what we're here to talk about in this 30-minute webinar, the topic today is Google Forms and not necessarily as a basis to describing how to do it and such, but just to talk about some of the changes and some things that you can do with it as well as ideas for classroom use. Absolutely, we kind of expect that you already know how to use Google Forms, so we're not necessarily going to go through how to set up the Google Form, but even if you haven't done that, stay with us because we've got some great tips and tricks for you that you can use when you go off on your own and explore how to create a Google Form. Right, because if you're brand new to it and haven't ever used it, you'll still get a great idea of why you should be using it or ideas for classroom use, personal use, professional use and things like that. Okay, so some practical uses. There are many. We just typed a few in here. One is t-shirt orders. If you're someone who is working in school and you're in charge of the band or you're in charge of FCCLA or you're going on a trip with a certain group of people and you want t-shirts rather than one more piece of paper or one more email that you lost or I lost a sticky note that you wrote your name on it, Mickey. You know, with your size, if I use a Google Form, I have all that information at my fingertips in a nice neat spreadsheet that I won't lose. Exactly, and you can even use an add-in, a script that we're going to talk about later, but you can use a script that will actually email that information back to the person signing up for the t-shirt so they can use it as their receipt. I know at Norfolk Public Schools, we have to give everybody a receipt when they turn in money, so this would be an excellent use of a Google Form to send that information back to the person who's buying the shirt and they'd have a receipt right there. Right, so as you really get into it, you'll want that automated email to the certain person or group of people. That way they know that the information's been shared and so on. Yes, that's wonderful. Voting. You were talking about this. Don't you do this at Norfolk? Or have you seen it done with Voting? Yeah, we don't do it at Norfolk because we're not quite there yet, but Milford Public Schools, which is a smaller school down in southeast Nebraska, they actually do any kind of voting, whether it's for class officers, homecoming candidates, they use a Google Form to vote for those candidates. And it's really easy if you're collecting the user names as you fill out, as the user submits the forms, and it's really easy to go in and sort that data and then delete any duplicate votes. Right, here's some other ideas. Quizzes, and we're going to do at the end, or you could just say assessments in this case. You can use something called Flubrew, which we're going to talk about, and give you an idea of how you can not only just use this to take the quiz, or the assessment, or the check for understanding, but you can have it great for you. And that's just a little teaser. Checking for understanding, you don't have to just use it for quizzes or assessments, but as you're going throughout your lesson, you want to check and see, are they getting what I'm talking about? If we have them click on the link, and then you can see how it is they're answering. Okay, next, registration for events. Do you ever have any events that you might want registration for? Yeah, absolutely. Anytime we do a technology training at Northrop Public Schools, we have people sign up for that, so we know how many you're going to attend, and we use Google Forms for all of our registration for that kind of thing. Right, and at this time too, if you can see the chat room where you're at, there are other uses that you use it for. Please type in ways that you've used it or seen it used in the chat area. And then we'll keep talking, but people can type in there in the chat area, but you can also just follow along if you wish. Okay, walkthroughs. Many administrators, many, many administrators use a Google Form as a walkthrough, and maybe in your district they do this. So that's again a form. They walk into your classroom and they see what it is that they're seeing, and when they click submit, it sends an email to the teacher, it sends an email to themselves, and they've got an electronic copy of everything that they're seeing. There are so many uses. Oh, so many uses. I love Google Forms, and I think Google Forms is one way to get teachers excited about using Google Apps because they can see a lot of practical applications for using forms right away. Right, and Lisa says activity verification. I'm assuming, meaning as people are completing certain activities that they're using the form as a way to prove that they've finished it and things like that. Yes, for professional growth. So if you're someone in your district is struggling with keeping track of that or you need a neater way to do that, or maybe that person is you, go ahead and use a Google Form for something like that. Yeah, and Ashley, Lisa and I are planning on doing that. There have been a couple of webinars that Corey has done recently. They did one on iOS 7, and then this one, we're going to put both of those together and have our people watch it. If they watch it, they're going to answer a couple of questions on a Google Form. They'll submit that, and we'll give them some professional growth points for watching those webinars. Right, and so in your district, whatever district you're in, to note that we are recording this, and then it can be played back, and it's on our website at the service unit. And we'll talk about that at the end as well. So what's cool and new? There have always been a few things within forms, and it used to be somewhat watered down in that you had some things like text and paragraph text and multiple choice and check boxes and all these items that you normally would have. But there's a couple of things that we really want to talk about today specifically. Mickey, one of those big things is what? Images. That has been something that teachers especially have been clamoring for in Google Forms is the ability to add images to your Google Forms. And that came out last spring, and it's really been a wonderful addition to Google Forms. Right, and I heard this the most from, as you can imagine, elementary teachers. But it would also certainly add to a junior high school environment. But there were so many elementary teachers that wanted to have a picture. Absolutely. And it just makes that form, that quiz, that assessment that much different or better. Yeah, and I'm not an elementary teacher, but I love my clip art. And so on any form that I do basically now, I put a little piece of clip art on that form. Just to kind of jazz it up a little bit. Right, and we'll show you some examples here in a little bit as well. Video is another one, which is huge. Watch this video. I think we have an example later. But watch this video and then answer some questions about what you saw, what you heard, what you implied later. So these are, and if you're a Google Forms user in the past, you know how big of a deal this was for many. So if I wanted to add a picture, it's as simple as something like this. When you're in your Google Form and you wanted to add a picture, you're just going to insert that, and you just get a simple screen like this here that just says, hey, you can either drag it right into that area or you can click on that blue box there that says choose an image to upload.  So you can either have one saved on your computer or on your Google Drive, or you can actually do a Google search right through within the insert picture option. So you don't even have to go out to another tab or open up another window. You can do a Google search right within the insert image option. Right, so it just depends on where you've saved it or what you have done already. So if you just click on the choose an image to upload, then you just browse on your computer if you haven't saved or wherever it is, and then you've got it in your form. Okay, next. Here's a good example that Mickey gave to me today. You want to talk about what we're looking at here? There's a couple things, the picture and then the type of question down at the bottom there. Right, well, when you go to insert an image, you can either put the questions above the image or below it. In this case, I found this map off of the internet. I added the letters on the states there, and then I added the question below that. So I inserted the image and then added a question. This is an example of a grid question where they would have to then identify each of the states based on the letters in the picture. Right, so as you're looking at this, I just thought this was a perfect example. So you found this map of the Northeast, you put the letters in yourself, and then, as you said, this is a grid option. So if you haven't ever seen these or used it, this is a perfect example of a grid option. So they're having to look at this map, look at letter A and say, okay, letter A is what state, and then they click on that and move from there. Yeah, and I was a little worried about how this question was set up because there's so much data in here in this question, whether it be understandable, in the chat that it was a great example and she has a sped background, so I'm assuming she's saying that it's an okay way to set up this question. Right, right. Next, here's an example. Now, this isn't a live video right now, this is just a screenshot again, but imagine this as you're taking this, versus a paper pen assessment, or a paper pencil quiz. You're clicking on this video. In this case, it's out on YouTube. They're watching something with information about the water cycle, they listen to it, and then immediately afterwards, they have questions. Yeah, this would be a great situation for all those flipped classrooms out there, where you're wanting the kids to watch the videos outside of class, but you need to, you're either wondering if they are watching the videos, so you're checking to see with the questions after the video in the form, you're checking to see whether or not they did watch the video, this insert video option into a Google form is huge. Yes, very much. I just love this, and I just keep comparing it to the paper pencil version. Where you have a question about the water cycle, and on you go. This, they have some information that they can watch. But it's also okay, so they're watching, they're listening, they're thinking, they already know what the questions are, because they can read below it, so they're looking and listening for that information within the video, so you know they're getting it, and they're able to find it. It's just very different from where we grew up, isn't it? Oh, absolutely, yeah. Okay, time, this is a new one. And we had some discussions today about what were some of the uses, and maybe this is another time where if you're in the chat room, and you've used this, tell us how you've used this. But here are some ideas that we came up with today, just brainstorming. So if you're in a science lab, and again, this is a type of question here, you can have your text, and so on, but down here at the bottom, there's a time stamp there. Okay, so you can choose the time, and then you can click on duration right here, which changes it to hours, minutes, and seconds. So we were thinking, if I'm in a science lab, for instance, and the science teacher, right, is in the lab, and when you're done, yeah, he says, go to this link, answer these questions. And it might be, how long did this take to react? Or how long did you watch it before you quit? You know what I'm saying? Right, right, yeah. Just different options for using that time feature. Again, it's in one of the newer forms, the newer options in forms is the time and date. The math elapsed time. Well, as far as math elapsed time, there are many math problems, story problems, how long did it take you to get from here to there? So we're trying to think of uses and reasons why you'd choose time as one of your form questions.  So again, not a lot of uses, study time. You said you knew someone who asked the students how much, just as they're prepping for a quiz. Yeah, my husband, Chris, teaches math at the high school and on every assessment that he gives he always asks how much time did you spend preparing for this test or this quiz. So that could be a use for this particular question type on Google Forms, too. You know, if you were trying to figure out a time when you were going to have a meeting or, you know, if we're thinking about not maybe necessarily classroom uses, time you're going to schedule a meeting or you need to have a group event some place or some time and you could get people's opinions on what time to have it. So again, some of the comments. Back to the video. Like the availability of the video right there. You're exactly right.  And Lisa's suggesting maybe to use the time question to log reading time, if they're having to read so much, you know, at night or something that would be an option. How much did you read this week? Yeah, those sorts of things. Just an informal gathering of information. Okay, and then down at the bottom here I just included this. So where up here I'd check the duration and it looked like hours, minutes, and seconds but when I uncheck it it just says hours and minutes and then AM or PM. So that's just the difference between checking that and unchecking that. Okay. Next, date. There's another example why you might, you know, maybe at the beginning of the year you're just wanting information. If you don't have a school information system that's giving that to you right away or you're someone who likes to send out you know, those happy birthday cards or you just want to know that sort of information you can certainly use a form to, you know, and have the students share their information that way because it's just, again, you've got it in your Google Docs you can access it from whichever device you're on. Sure. Yeah, and again if you're trying to schedule a meeting on a particular date this would be what you could use the date question to indicate to have people indicate when they were going to be free or when they were going to be available. Right. Right. So, you know, there are always practical things, uses that you'll come up with on your own but these are just some of the new features within Forms. So now I've got a couple polls here. Alright, the first one I'm going to pull in here and I'll have to open it for you. Okay. And it says how many different question types are available on a Google Form. So, everyone watching if you click on that and vote and then in a minute here we'll see okay, let's broadcast the results. And of the people who voted looks like nine. Now, I'm more curious who can answer which ones those what were those types of questions. Use your chat room here. Alright, I'll start it off. There was a text and I put that in there. I'll remember another one just to get them rolling here. Oh, I've got people typing grid. That's two. Checkboxes is three list four. I see multiple choice from Mike C choice. So how many do we have there? One, two, three, six, seven, eight. It was nine but what was the ninth one? We're missing one. Scale. Scale and the scale is an example of rate this activity with one being the lowest and five being the highest. Good job making it scale. You do not win the prize because you're part of the webinar. Oh, darn it. Sorry about that. Alright, next one. Next one and this is leading into our this is leading into our next activity here. Alright, here we go. Would you rather hand correct a pile of papers, be honest or create an assessment that can be graded for you? I'm going to broadcast the results. You'll be shocked here. Interesting. I like Mickey. Yes, I, when I was in the classroom I definitely took any advantage of having those assessments graded for me. So that leads us into our next area which is called flubrew. If you haven't seen or heard of flubrew, you need to listen to this and try this out. Here we go. Flubrew. Alright, we added the website here. So if you needed more information later, wanted to go to the website, you can certainly do that. And there's a video on there. Now, first of all, I want to make sure that everyone understands the price of this. Mickey.  Well, you can get flubrew for the bargain basement price of $0. So, you know, if there was an applause now I would put that in there. So you guys can actually clap if you know how to do that. You can actually go up to your little person there and make them clap. But we won't get into that right at the moment. Alright, so flubrew. Transforming. See that? See this pile of papers here? Patty just clapped for us. Oh, did she? I see that. Lisa P is clapping too. Up in the presenter participant area. So here's your papers. Now, first of all, there's always a Mac PC debate and things like that, Chromebook and so on. Does flubrew care which device you're using? Flubrew does not care which device you are using. How about Google? Google does not care which device you are using. So Google's free. Google Forms is free. Free. Flubrew is free and it doesn't care which device you're on. I mean, that's the perfect solution for any school system. Win, win, win. Alright, so here we go. Again, we're assuming that you know how to create a form and the people that listen to this know how to do this. So, even if you haven't ever created a form, basically when you create a form you get a spreadsheet because that's where the answers come into. So what you're looking at here is just a screenshot of a spreadsheet that you'll see in your Google Form. Now, what are you seeing up top there, Mickey? Well, this is how you're going to go get flubrew to add it to your spreadsheet. So basically flubrew is a script and there are really smart people that are out there that write these scripts. You don't need to know anything about programming, scripting, nothing. Okay, so somebody else has already written the script for us. We just need to know where it is to go get it and install it. And it's a super simple process.  Right, and that's the biggest piece there is just knowing where to go to get started with this because what you have to do everybody as you're listening you have to install this script to have it great for you. If you don't install this script it will not work. And I want to add before I forget it, each quiz or assessment or whatever you want it great for, you have to install the script. So once you've done it in time or two you really get good at it. Yeah, and it's not hard anyway. It walks you through the process step by step so you just read the directions and click next or whatever it tells you to do. So it is really simple but of course right every assessment that you do a Google form quiz for you would need to install the script in that spreadsheet. Right, so tools and script gallery. Alright, it's step number one. You have to search for it and when you get ready to search you see a screen that looks just like this and you just simply type in flubrew. Now notice you get this other bit set. I don't even know what it is but what you want is this flubrew right here. Okay, now once you find that if I had never done this before I'd probably want to do what? Where would your eyes go automatically that you want to do what with it? I'm thinking you want to install it. Right, exactly. So first you're going to tools and script gallery and then once you get to script gallery you are typing in the word flubrew which brings up this flubrew here and then you want to install it. Alright, when you go to install these things that will ask for your permission of course you'll grant it and you'll approve it and say yes and so on. Now once it's installed on your spreadsheet this wasn't here before. What do you see there Mickey now? A new menu that's called flubrew. Right, that's how you know whether or not you've been successful. Okay, if you don't see that that really means in the end that you perhaps maybe didn't install what you thought you were calling. So there's flubrew right there. Right, and I will back up just one step before that. It does ask you in the installation process to authorize a bunch of things and it looks kind of big and scary but it's just allowing flubrew to get at what it needs to get at to work. So just go ahead and authorize all of those flubrew to access all of those apps and then the flubrew menu will appear in your spreadsheet. Right, and I tell people that often they call right just say yes except in this case that is very much true. So just accept whatever it is that they're asking you to do. So now that you've installed it successfully you have flubrew at the top of your list. Now this will not be there until you install it. So that's a good point there. So then after that it's magic time.  Now what happens when you grade the assignment? There are several things that need to be in place. And one probably the most important thing is in this quiz that you've created Mickey you have to as a teacher should take it first and obviously you're going to choose the correct answers because once you're in it then what happens? Right, one of the first things that flubrew is going to ask you when you go to grade the assignment is which one is the answer key? Which quiz do you want to use to be the answer key? And that's why it's important that you the teacher go through and take the quiz first with the correct answers and then use that record to work as the answer key for you. Right, so I typed in here which one is the answer key and then you're going to pick in this case I'm going to say your I'll pick the quiz that the teacher took the teacher answers and let me click enter here so people can see that. So what you're going to do is pick yours because it's going to say oh, this is the one that has the correct answers. Right, right. Otherwise it doesn't know which one's right, which one's wrong. It doesn't know how to grade the quiz, right, exactly. Exactly, okay. So then after you do that you're going to get something that looks something very similar like this. Now let's start up here at the top right away and this is what it does for you. It's saying, okay, we just did a quick fake quiz here. There are three possible points. The average points, it figures the average and how many submissions there were. We took this quiz four times. Okay, and it gives you all this information. It also gives you the time that it was taken and the name of the person. Now it actually pulls the name from the quiz. It doesn't know this, does it? No. I mean in our form we had put a question that said first name, last name. Right, those were questions that we included on the form. Now clearly as far as the questions go it's not grading their names. That's something that is ungraded. Right, and that's one of the things that when you go through and set up the script it asks you which one which questions should be graded and which ones are recognizing the student. So that one we set to student information that it did not grade first name and last name. And Flubaru is very smart. Flubaru on its own will recognize that first name shouldn't be graded. You can always change it of course if you wanted to but it recognizes it, doesn't it? I appreciate that. Especially as a new user to it if you were. So here's total points. I separated this from the top. This would be one straight line on your spreadsheet but just for our screenshots and the screen I put it below. So I can see here that Beyonce, right? Two points. It's graded for you. How many times they submitted it. And then this email grade you want to talk about this. If I would have in my form included what, what can we do with an email? Right, if you request that the students enter their email address or if you're a Google Apps for Education domain when you create a form you actually have the option of collecting the username which in this case would be the student's email address. If you get that information then through Flu Baru once you grade the quiz you can actually email the results to the students and it will list the question if they got it right or if they got it wrong and their score. Right. So here's one question here. Today is what day and so it grades it for you. It tells you that out of the four people that took it only two got it right. Here's the next one. Forms are awesome true or false and one was true in this case so they all got it right and then in last one they had to actually pick two presidents and clearly they got it right here. So all they had to do was take the quiz. I have already installed Flu Baru on my assessment. I said grade this assessment and I clicked a couple buttons and it grades it for me. Done. Done.  I mean this I can do whenever I want. I just install the Flu Baru script and run it and it's done. Right. Lisa's pointing out something here that we can look at quick here. Right over here and I'll circle it here you'll notice the color and the color shows you what maybe needs a little bit more work. It highlights it. So this is if I was differentiating or needed to know who I needed to pull to further go over this, what day is today. I would know who to do that with. And then we have some questions here. It says, so does it automatically once you've selected the option initially go to each individual student? Julie, I'm not sure what you mean by that question, but you actually would have to go back up to the Flu Baru menu and email the grades out to the kits. So just running the Flu Baru script once, the first time it just grades it. So you would have to actually go back up to the Flu Baru menu and choose to email the grades out to the students. Hopefully that helps Julie. Right. Any other questions because we usually like to keep this right at a half an hour. We're at 414 but in a sense instead of taking this assessment and let's say there's 25 or 30 questions right and it takes quite a while to work through each one and then figure the grade. You're doing this using your technology that you have in your building and it's graded for you and out the door you go. But I still like that it's not, it's just not doing all your working and I'm looking at it because just like Lisa pointed out here, we're looking at and we're analyzing the data and seeing what needs to be worked on or reassessed or retaught later. Right and I think that that piece of it is kind of a newer feature to Flu Baru and just like with all the Google products good script authors are always updating their scripts and Flu Baru is one that does get updated so I think that's a newer feature that actually points that part of it out. How do you guard against cheating it says. Now if I was doing this in the classroom Mickey, you know I'm walking around just like it would if they were normally just taking a paper pencil test. So I mean as far as cheating goes, I don't know if I would allow them necessarily depending on what it is to be at home and taking your assessment. I don't know if that's what she's asking but if I'm doing this in a classroom and they have laptops open I'm walking around, you know and you're making sure that they're keeping their eyes on their screen. Right and I think another way too is I wouldn't if I had multiple sections of this class taking this quiz I would not email the grades to the students until after every class was done you know after every student had taken the quiz then I would email the results but yeah I mean it's just like cheating on a paper pencil test you know teacher vigilance is the number one method to prevent that I guess. Right okay so let's now here on the last screen here on our website on esu8.org's website we have this webinar link here and this is where each week if you're wondering what our Wednesday webinar is you'll see a live link there as well as the you can come back at any time and then click on those links to let's say for instance listen to this one again or if you miss some in the past you can certainly pop in on those so please visit our website Mickey thank you for coming today and then we look forward to doing this again in the future sometime. Thank you Cory. Alright thank you everybody.


Hello, my name is Nancy Eisen, I am the Gund Family Chief Curator at the Barnes Foundation and you're joining me for Barnes Takeout, your daily serving of art. Today we're in gallery five of the Barnes Foundation and we're going to look at a wonderful seascape by the French artist Georges Chorat who was born in Paris in 1859 and I think it's just such a wonderful outdoors painting. We're looking at it right in the centre of the main part of the wall there and really its luminosity just hits us as we walk into the room. You can see that Barnes put it on this wall because each of the canvases has that stretch of blue at the top of the horizon line so we get a nice balance of colour. But for me personally the Soura is the absolute knockout painting. It's just so light and bright and it really makes me think of being by the sea which I'm sure if you're like me is something that is just so wonderful and enjoyable. So let's look closely at the painting. It was made by Soura in the summer of 1886. He had the habit of going to the northern coast of France every summer. He'd done that as a child with his family and at this time in his 20s it was a habit that he kept up. He tended to go to a slightly different part of the coast each year and this part is called Enfleur. It's a port town. You can still visit it now and in the 1800s it had been a very bustling port. By the time Soura is there in 1886 it's slightly quieter than it had been but there's still plenty going on. Lots of tourists would go there and it's a place where you could just enjoy the outdoors. We know that Soura rented rooms with a customs officer there so really you know it was geared up for this kind of trip and Soura went with the ambition of making a few paintings. Now unfortunately we know that the weather was a bit variable. He ends up leaving town probably mid-August. He jokes to a friend that he might leave on Friday the 13th and that would potentially be a bad thing. The weather had been a bit variable so he really hadn't achieved everything that he'd wanted to do but again from his letters we know that he created about six paintings at least a couple of drawings one of which was a study for this work and I think it's a great achievement. I mean if I produced anything like this in a couple of months I'd be more than happy. Now how do we know it is en fleur? One of the very distinctive features in the en fleur landscape is its lighthouse and there we have just in the corner this wonderful structure with its white body with its sort of pinkish light at the top and in a canvas where there aren't a lot of people it almost takes on the presence of a figure. It's also a wonderful excuse for Soura to describe reflections. You can see how from its place on the harbour side Soura creates a vertical line and in the water that white is picked up once again just little dashes of white amongst the blue and the golden giving you a sense of the shimmering surface of the water and just again to return to this sort of emptiness I wonder perhaps if we have a little figure on one of the sailboats in the foreground perhaps this little touch of red might indicate a person but by and large we're left to enjoy the scene and to enjoy the colours and to enjoy the way of painting. You can just see here again how Soura really enjoys placing colours one beside the other. He enjoys the contrast of colours we have reds against purples we have greens against golds colour contrast was something that really fascinated Soura and that was very important because it set him apart from painters of a different generation so I'm just going to focus out again at the overall scene now Soura being in his 20s at this point was younger than the impressionist artist who had made their name in Paris just slightly beforehand and with this new way of working with this wonderful broken brushstroke Soura was effectively pitting himself against those older artists he was essentially defining himself as part of a new generation and when he writes about this way of painting he calls it my method and he underlines that expression he's very keen to show that he is doing something very different that it is based in science colour theory was very important to Soura and it was something that was taught at the art schools in the 1880s and really Soura embraces that for him this is not so much a painting about feelings or sensations it's about the way in which your eye blends colour and I think this is particularly evident in these little outhouses here where you see the greens and the reds and the blues all just playing off against one another and I think that the site of Enfleur then becomes more important because it had been a place that the impressionist artists had visited we have views of Enfleur by Monet and his peers and so Soura by taking on this heritage really shows us that contrast very starkly and this is somewhere new and different and in in his eyes the location might be the same but we're seeing it afresh however and this is probably where I would have annoyed Soura if he was here to hear me for me this painting defies its own scientific qualities and it does create a wonderful sense of atmosphere we really feel as if we're by the harbour and I'm not alone in thinking this and this was something that viewers in Soura's day also acknowledged and I want to read you an excerpt from a review of Soura's pictures of Enfleur that was made in 1887 and here we are the seascapes that Soura exhibits this year his views of Enfleur especially his lighthouse rest again on this particular feeling that he expresses of a nature more lulling than melancholy a nature that reposes indifferently and disguised without passion sheltered from the winds those who wish to a free to prefer less cold and more vivid impressions or to love beaches more bustling and noisy for me these works have a particular charm that I cannot deny I find in them a fullness of expansive air a siesta of a quiet soul a distinction of one indolence a caressing lullaby of the sea that soothes and dissipates my weary cares and I just love that last line that soothes and dissipates my weary cares and I really hope that in looking at this wonderful seascape that you find some of that relaxation that a critic found in looking at Soura's work in 1887 this shimmering magical picture is one that I hope you'll revisit when you come to the Barnes Foundation next and in the meantime please do tune in for more Barnes Takeout tomorrow and you can subscribe to our YouTube channel thanks so much and see you again soon bye bye
