OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Google account and management or Google account management and safety. There are, this started being an issue, I'm going to say, when people started using Google, they were forced to use Google during COVID. And they're still using Google during COVID. But teachers started using it and going, oh my God. I have my personal account, now they're telling me I have to use the school account. How do I switch back and forth between accounts? Is that okay to do that? I created a file, now I can't find it. I think it's in the other account, but I don't know how to get there. So all of these questions were coming up. So I created a training for it. And this is part, this is part one of three. This ebook that I'm showing you right now, this is part one of three. I'm going to give you all three ebooks. Okay. So at the end of this session, you will have a link that will open this up. And you will be able to look at all of these slides. There's like 80 something slides on account management. Yeah, wow. So the way this works is each slide. Well, first of all, at the beginning, it tells you what's going to be covered. Okay, so this book one is going to be account types. Book two is going to be, let me scroll down here. Book two is going to be sharing and transferring. Okay. And then book three is going to be the actual account safety. So this, I'm not going to cover everything today, folks. This took four workshops for two hour workshops to cover all three of these books. Okay. I, we don't have the time. I got an hour and a half. I got an hour. I got little, little, lots of information, I should say, and a little bitty space. Okay. This was going to be a two hour session. I switched it with one of our other presenters because I need more time. So, okay, fine. I'll just talk faster. All right. This entire thing that I'm showing you can be a workshop at your California adult education program. So if you go, oh, wow, you know, we really need that. Or if you see anything, any of the presentations that OTAN is giving you today or tomorrow, if you see anything that really piques your interest or equal, my staff need that. Contact us and we will be able to do a workshop just for your staff free. Free, free, free. Okay. Contact me later about that. And as I say the word me, it occurs to me that I didn't tell you who I am. I apologize. My name is Melinda Holt. I am at OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. And we are housed at SCOE Sacramento County Office of Education. OTAN is a grant-funded project. It's a leadership project. As is CalPro and Costas. If you're from California, you know those, those acronyms. I am a certified Google educator, level one and two. I'm a certified trainer. I've been a trainer since. Well, it's been a few years. It's been a few years, I believe six. That's why at year five, they gave us this little T badge right here. I am also Google cloud certified. I got in just as they were ending that more on that later. I am a professional learning leader or certified and I am a Google admin. So I know the behind the scenes thing. So if your network person tells you, no, we can't do that. And you don't believe them. You don't believe them. You don't believe them. You don't believe them. You don't believe me. I'll be able to tell you. Yeah, he's right. Or she's right. Or maybe they don't know that they can go this way. Okay. So that's me. Back to the handout. There's a table of contents for each one. If you don't know something. Or you want to jump right in, you can go to any one of these. You can click it. And it opens. Okay. If you want to go back to the table of contents, you can click the TOC in the top right hand corner and click it. And it'll take you back. Okay, so it's going back and forth. So I think we went to like slide 12. And then we're back on slide four. So this is a working live dynamic ebook. As I think of things to put in here or as updates are needed, it will be added. So that's kind of how this works. Any questions on the ebook? I know there's one coming. Come on, somebody ask. Hint, hint. How do we get it? Do you want it? Do you want it? You want this right now? All right. I need to explain one more thing, because I'm not actually giving it to you. I am letting you see it. As a student. Like this. So there's the URL way down at the bottom. Bitly. And it is case, case, case sensitive. So it's HTTPS, Bitly account and safety. I am going to put this in the chat so you can just click. On it. And it will open. Just like it has for me. All right. So there that is. So this isn't what we call preview mode. If you're in Google land, you know preview mode means that you can look at it and you can go through the slides. Just by clicking, it'll go to slide two, and then you click and it goes to slide three, click and it goes to slide four. All of the links still work. Okay, you click on the link. It goes to the page you want it to. You click on the TC, it comes back. TLC rather comes back. Okay. You cannot make a copy of it. You can't make a copy of it. You can't make a copy of it. You can't make a copy of it. You can't make a copy of it. You can't make a copy. This is a dynamic ebook, a dynamic ebook. If I'm making changes on it and you've made a copy. Last week. You don't see the changes. Okay. So you're more than welcome to share this with your students or share it with your staff. Share that link if you want. But please don't ask me for a copy of this. That being said. I'm going to click the PDF link. And here is the last time it was updated. February 3rd, 2021. Okay. So if you click that. You can download. It's stuck in time. Please understand that it is stuck in time. All right. Now this is the student when I call the student view. So I'm going to close this cause cause I'm, you know, I'm the trainer. And I can add to it if we see mistakes. All right. Let's jump in here. Enough about the tutorial. You need to know the differences between your accounts. You might have two different types of accounts. The pub. And the club. What's a pub? Well, it's, it's a term that was created a back when back in Ireland, when, you know, the English, they wouldn't let the Irish have their own, their own bars because they thought we drank too much and what have you. So we created our own. We created, we, in our house, and we invited people into our houses. And it was called a public house. A public house.  We started calling it the pub. Yeah. So when you're in the pub, you can do anything you want. You can, you can email. You can save files. You can do anything you want because it's yours. It's your pub. All right. So the difference between that and a club. In a club, you're quite proper. And you must hold your cup just so like that. Yeah. And if you don't hold your cup like this, this is actually your password right here. You have the key. And if you don't use the key correctly, you don't get in. Do you? So a club will end in at net. At org. At edu. Scoey. Net is a club. All right. So if you have it, a Google. You know, you have a Google because it opens up Google drive. And it ends in at. Scoey. Net. At. Mount Diablo. Edu. At la usd. Org. And I know that's not what yours is, but if it ends in something like that, it's a club. Why is that a big thing? Because when you have two accounts. And you sign into one. That is your default. That's where everything opens first. And that's where everything opens first. Now I have a video screen open. So I'm going to, it looks weird, but I'm going to move my. My screen over a bit. And then if you're following along. Go to Google. Com. Just go to the Google search. Okay. Alrighty. So if you've opened up the Google search page. And if you're using Chrome, it's much better. If you're using Chrome. I'm just going to put that out there. Yeah. Yeah. You can use Edge and Firefox and any other browser you want, but it's better if you're using Chrome. Chrome is a Google. And everything. And your Google is Google. Right. So use Chrome. Now when you're on the Google search page, if you're signed in, you'll see your avatar. Now mine's kind of small here. And I think if I didn't set it up. So right here, I can't zoom in anymore. Sorry about that. But I see my little face. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I can't zoom in anymore. Sorry about that. But I see my little face here. Okay. And I know because it's got that green background. I know this is my pub account. Okay. When I click on that avatar, it tells me other accounts that I have. All right. You ready to go lay down? Nick. Nick. Could you, could you mute, please? Okay. I think somebody needs to go to rest and maybe lay down, but. All right. So when you click on your avatar, you will see the other accounts that you're signed in. Right. So here's a student account that I created. Because I need to see students. The student view sometimes. And here is my club account. M hold at scowy.net. So if I click on that, you're going to see my browser change. Because I switched accounts. I switched accounts. I went from my pub to my now club. And I know it's my club because I see the white background. I'm wearing a brown shirt. Okay. So I have two different avatars for different accounts. When I click on the avatar again, look in line online. If you can see this and I wish I could make it bigger for you, but it says scowy tech. And here's the magic word right here default. That means I signed into this account first. Well, Melinda, why is that important? Because when I go to open my drive. Right now. Let's go back to my. This is this is the first account I signed into. Right. First account I signed into a scowy tech my pub. And when I go to Gmail. Any minute now. Yep. We got to wait for the magic. It signs into the Gmail. For the default account. If I go to drive. It will open drive to my default account. The one that I signed into first. Okay. Can you switch? Absolutely. All right. So if you're creating. Educational resources, you probably want to use your club account. Now, if you don't have one, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about it. Except. You might have a teacher account on the pub. And you might have a personal account on the pub. So then do you have to worry about it? Yeah, you do. Because you don't want to share that document. With your students. If your email address is party girl. At Gmail.com. Right. You want it to be ESL teacher at Gmail.com. Right. So be careful. Or be aware of, I should. Say, be aware of who you are. Who are you when you open up drive? The first thing I do when I open up anything is look at my avatar. Those of you that don't have an avatar, you can actually put one in. Right now, if your first name starts with a C, then you're going to see a letter C there. Your first name starts with a N. You're going to see a letter N right here. Right. And if you go back and forth between accounts, you'll see the letter color change. So Vicki, it would be a letter V. It might be yellow on one account and it might be blue on the other. Okay. You always have to look. You always have to see who you are. Do that or get used to doing that before you start creating things. I don't know how many times I have. I've created a document and it's on my pub account. This is my work pub. It's not a big deal. But still, if I want it to belong to the club. Now it's like, oh man, now I got to make a copy of it and I got to put it in the other drive. It's a lot more work. It's more work. So be efficient and know who you are. Remember, I told you whoever you sign in first, that is going to be the default. That means that that's going to be the account that opens things first.  Okay. It always goes to the default. Can you switch? Yes. Just click on your avatar. If you're signed into two accounts and yes, you can be. You can actually be signed into like 50 accounts. Don't do that. Okay. Three, four accounts, no problem. But when you select your avatar, you can see that it's just like that. Okay. Now my, my club account also adds its little, what brand on it. I have no control over that. Right. But that's another way for me to tell who I am. I see that. I would go, okay, I'm in my pub or my club or whatever. Or if I go to the student account. I look at the avatar. Okay. I'll take a tour because I've never been here before on the student account. Right. So I know right away who I am by looking at that avatar. Do we have any questions on that? Cause that's really, I mean, I've taken like 20 slides and dumped it down into about five, 10 minutes here. So know who you are. We're good. Okay, Melinda. So you recommend, recommend us to create a different account. From the school account. Um, do I recommend it? Well, okay. This is where Melinda is going to get in trouble. Right. Um, you, I do recommend that you have your own personal account. Okay. I recommend that you follow your school's. Um, rules. And if they want you to use your club. Account with your students, then that's what you should do. If your students do not have a club account. That makes it harder on you to share. So I'm not going to be, that's what I noticed. Yeah. That's, that's in that. I think it's booked to where we go over file and sharing and we will, I will get the book to today. Um, so.  This is one of the silver linings of COVID. That many adult education students did not have a club account. And the teachers couldn't share things with them. Right. Especially classroom.  And so the teachers went, yeah, okay, fine. But I can't get my students in it because you don't let them have accounts. Okay. Let me ask this question then. So that then they send us to, you know, share file. Uh, Uh, there are need, they needed a permission. So I fiddle around and then I find that there's a link. Anybody who has the link can open it. Yes. This is safe. If I click that and any, anybody has the link and they open. I give that permission. Then that's a safe. All right, so that's on the bottom right. You can either type in a script, or you can type in. Um, edit, edit rights. So the link that you're, yeah, the length that you're selecting when you go to show the viewable length or share the viewable length. You're just giving them view rights. If you are right. View rights will give people permission to make a copy. Okay. Or download. So right now, if I had view rights, or I would be able to download it as a PowerPoint, as a PDF, or even as a bunch of images put together, which you never want to do these on a really big slide set. Okay. If I just wanted to grab the text, I could download it as plain text. So as a viewer, unless you turn it off, which you can do as a viewer, I can download or make a copy. When I make a copy, it's stuck in time. And it's mine. It's not yours anymore. So that was a long answer to your question. But yes, it is safe. I would say it was safe. Okay. Thank you. You bet. Let's see. We've already gone over this.  By the way, a little segue here. My student account where you saw this, here's my avatar. I created a Google account using a Yahoo address. Yes, you can do that. And yes, your students can do that. So if you have a Yahoo, or if you have God forbid, AOL. Still get rid of that. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If you have God forbid AOL. Com. Or, you know, Comcast. That, whatever. E-mail that you really like using. You don't want to use Gmail. You're never going to use Gmail. Then create an account. Using that email address that you like. You can do that. You go to accounts.Google.com. And it will give you the option to create the account with another the Google tools on the pub you get all of the Google tools without Gmail, right? And then if I, as a teacher, want to share with Winky Hootoo, when I send out a message, it goes to yahoo.com. It's really kind of slick and I think it's really smart on Google's part because they don't have to worry about the file storage. They're saving themselves some space, all right, and you. I'm just looking here real quick, yes, accounts. Okay, so let's say you're signed in and you notice that somebody else is signed in on your computer and now their account is here. So let's say, for instance, Winky Hootoo is a student and use my laptop and now I see that they're signed in. You can remove them, you can remove them by signing out, but when you do that, you have to sign out of all accounts, okay? So just be aware of that. You can remove them from the list.  Having them in the list as signed in or signed out, it doesn't matter.  Remember to sign out before you give your device to anybody. And I know here recently we haven't had to worry about that because we've all been home, right? But when you get back to classes and please let that happen soon, make sure you sign out of your account before you give your device to anybody. This, let's see, we're on slide 34. This kind of takes you through the order of removing accounts and what have you. So, Melinda? Yes. Going back to the winky how to. Winky who do? Winky who do? Yes. It's kind of blowing my mind. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. So the only difference is that they have a Yahoo account email, but they still can use Drive with that Yahoo. Absolutely. Yeah. So I can go, hang on a minute. I'm going to go, I'm going to open a browser. Okay. And this is, yes. Wait, wait, wait. I got lots of people talking. So let me show this first and then, and we'll get back. Okay. So right here, the Firefox I am, I should still be signed into two different accounts. Oh, look at that. All of these accounts. Okay. So all of these accounts have used this browser on this device before. So that's why they're all here. And here's a Blinkabinky at gmail.com. Here's a, oh, it's going tech at Yahoo.com. So I could sign in to, and here's what's going to happen. Okay. So you still have to sign into to Drive in order to use it. So Audrey, I would go to Yahoo. I would sign in that only gets me Yahoo mail. That's it. All right. Then when I want to use Drive, I have to go to Drive and sign in there too. Now, if you have your students do this, word of advice, have them use the same password. So whatever their Yahoo password is, use that when they sign into Drive. Tell them when they create their accounts, use the same password. Right. Because then they don't have to remember two different passwords. There's no SSO between Yahoo and Google. This is a Google account. It's just using it Yahoo. And this is just public, not for club only the pub. Yeah, this does not work for the club. All right. Thank you. You bet.  Did you still, do you have a question? Well, my question was, can I do that with an existing account? Absolutely. If I have a Yahoo account and I've never created a Google with it, then I could go to accounts.google.com, put in my Yahoo address or my Comcast address or whatever address you want, make sure it's the same password as that Comcast or AOL or Yahoo. When you create the Google, boom, you're in. Okay. There is, I believe it's also linked on here there within the book. There's a link that will take you to a PDF that goes step by step, how to create a Google account using another email address. So I don't need to hang in. All right. There is another handout. There's a link in here somewhere. Okay. I've got a lot to cover so I'm not going to show you exactly where it is. Just trust me, it's in there somewhere. You're going to have to find it. Okay. And this is the PDF on this. So the main point about this is know who you are when you sign into Google. Know who you are first, because that's going to be the default. So if you sign into your club account first, that's going to be default. And that will always open the tools first. If you sign out of everything and then you sign into your public account first, that will be the default, which only, it just means that you're going to have to switch between accounts if you want your public stuff to be private and your school stuff to be public or with your students. Another question. Sure. So when you say default, you mean default on that particular day? This is my device. So I stay signed in. I don't ever sign out on this computer. It's not dangerous if I'm the only one signed in or the only one using this device. Okay. The last default that you used. Whatever I sign in first, it doesn't matter. If I stay signed in, whoever I signed in first as, that is the default account. Okay. So let me, there we go. And I shared this with myself. That's why it's opening. There we go. So I know by looking at, clicked on the avatar, I know by looking at this that when it says SCOE tech default that I signed in at some point on this computer, I signed in first with SCOE tech at gmail.com. If I had signed in with mholt at SCOE.net, it would say default next to that avatar. Okay. You mean it remains the default for that device forever? Yes. For the entire session until you sign out. Until you sign out. Okay. I've got a bunch of slides open now. Every time I click a link, it opens a slide. All right. Let me get rid of that. Let me get rid of that. Okay. Now, sharing and transferring. There's a link here that will open part two for you as a student. Right. Same deal. You can go between the slides. It tells you about the tutorials. Here are the links. Right. You click on them and it'll take you to that page. All right. Here are the sharing types and options that you have at your disposal on any Google account, whether it be club or pub. Right.   And even then, it's still yours. All right. So as an owner, you're able to edit it. You're able to comment on it. You're able to view it. You can share it. You can do anything you want. All of these checks for owner, the owner is the supreme being. Okay. When you give permissions to an editor, they can do pretty much what an owner can do with some caveats. So change sharing permissions. As the owner, the owner can change that for an editor. If I'm sharing something with, and Karen, since you were the last one that spoke, if I'm sharing something with Karen, but I really don't want Karen to add Allison or Kristen or Tony, then I would turn off that option for her to share. And yes, I'm going to show you where that's at.   So usually you give the editor all the same rights as the owner, except these two things cannot be done. You cannot delete the file permanently from the Google verse. If you are an editor and you cannot transfer ownership to another account, if you are the editor. As a commenter, you can do everything except the red stars here. If the owner has turned it off, then you can't do it. Okay. So this booklet that we're looking at right now, I have turned off the option to print or make a copy. Well, Melinda, how do you do that? I'm so glad you asked. Watch this.  Go ahead and open something in Google. It doesn't matter if it's a Google doc, a Google sheet, or a Google slide. So if you have to go to your drive, if you're on Google, the Google search page still, you could actually use the, I'm trying to look for it, here we go. You could use the waffle is what they call it. It's a Google apps launcher, but you could use that waffle and just open up a slide, a sheet, a doc, one of those three things where you could go to drive and then open one of those three things. And I'm stalling a little bit to give you time to do that. So open a doc sheet or slide. You could even segue, you could open new one just by typing docs.new or slides.new or sheets.new. That's all you have to do, especially when you're using Chrome. Now that also works when you're using Firefox and Edge now. Not always though. I found out that sometimes on Edge it goes, I don't know what that is. So I'm going to think it's a link. But on Chrome it always works. All right, so I have a document open. If you've got one open too, that's great. If you have a slide open, it's the same thing. The share button works the same. So if you have something open, click on your share button. Okay. Oh, yeah, I need to title this. I'm going to title this document de la Tito. That's what I do. So I can remember to delete it later. Okay. So after you click on the share button of something that was already titled, you should see this. All documents that you create are restricted. They're not shared with anybody. You decide whether or not to share, right? You were asking about the shareable link. Here's right here where you would, you can click on copy link or change anyone with link. This will open it up to anybody. So if my student sends that link to their children or to their, their aunt or uncle or cousin, whatever, they can open it as well. Okay. That means anyone with the link means exactly that anyone with the link. And here's where I would copy it. All right. So if you're going to share with somebody and you don't care, you would do this and I have to hit done now. I'm going to go back to the share button. So if you've done the same thing, that's great. Just select the share button again. And now I see that anyone on the internet with this link can view. Well, Melinda, you said you were going to show us how to stop them from making a copy. I am, I am, but you have to do that first. Okay. If you're, if you're sharing with somebody. There we go. So I went to the gear for those of you that missed that in line with share with people in groups, there's a gear I'm clicking on the gear. And there we see share Google share with people settings. And there are two check boxes here. And these are very important. Do I want my editor to have the same permissions as the owner to change permissions or to add to the share or to even select or deselect this, make the copy button? No. So I take that away. Now I'm looking at viewers and commenters can see the option to download print and copy. If I want them to see that option, then I leave it. If I don't, boom, I take it away. Now they cannot make a copy or download or print. And that's exactly what I did with those ebooks. I deselected this. And then I copied the link and I created a bitly out of it, but I could have copied that link and just given it to you. And you would see the same thing that you're seeing now if you have one of those books open. All right. So this published it. I did not publish it. No. Okay. I don't publish to the web. And that is an option on Google docs. You're, I'm not going to say it's vulnerable or unsafe. I just I don't trust it all that much. So I don't do it. I don't publish to the web. Another reason not to publish to the web is that it makes it less searchable. So I want to share this document just with my students. I want just my students to see it. If I publish it to the web, now it's going to be hit number 100,000,259,000, right? It's going to be way down on the list, but it's still searchable. Okay. And I don't want that. So not publishing, just sharing this way makes it less searchable. That's not to be saying, that's not to say that it could never be searched for, but it just it just adds just a little layer of security, a little tiny one, very thin. This is what you call the preview. Then this is the preview. This is part of the preview. This is part of the preview. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, you want to hit that gear and then turn off those options within the gear. And if you want to send it as a preview like you did, then I'm going to show you that magic if you wish. Okay. Yes. Okay. So to make something a preview, I'm going to click the share button on the document that I want just to be previewed. I'm going to copy the link. Okay. I'm going to hit done. And then I'm going to go to some kind of a text editor. Now I already have one open. I already have docs open. So I'm going to just paste that big long link. Do you see that? I mean, it's huge. And let me make it huger so you can see it better. We're just going to bump that up. And we might even make this last part bold because that's the important part. So if I hadn't made it so big, let me go down a spot. There we go. So at the end of every share link, all share links end the same. All share links in the same. Every link that you share ends the same in its Google. Okay. And it ends with edit question mark USP equal sharing. What you do when you want something to be previewed is you take just that text and replace it with the word preview. Now the W went to the next line because it was big text. Okay. So let me show you that again. If you want something just to be previewed, what you're going to do is you're going to look at the very end of your share link. You're going to select edit question mark USP equal sharing and you're going to mark it or rename it preview at the end. Then you take this link and you put it into your URL shortener, whatever you want to use. I use bitly or you can send this link to I'm going to put this in chat right here. And you can click on it and you will see this document in preview mode. And I can add text. And while you're opening it, you might have to refresh. And then I can change things. Okay. So if anybody clicked on that link and they didn't see these next two lines, just hit refresh. You're going to see it. This makes the document live dynamic. So it's stuck in time between preview and view. So if you change preview to not a lot, not a lot, except you can, it gives you a different interface on slides and docs. The preview on the ebook that you have, it's more viewable. I'm going to quote unquote viewable. They've actually used to be a big difference. It's not so much anymore since they gave us those check boxes. This adds a layer of security right here, that preview. I'm not going to go in depth in detail on that because it's just too hard to explain, but it does add a thin, very thin layer of security. And it actually, well, yeah, I'm not going to get, I'm thinking how hard this would be to explain and it's just, it would take up too much time. Okay. So I hope that answered the question. So the preview doesn't seem to allow you to edit or anything, just a view. Exactly. You can't edit. You can't make copies. You can't do anything. So if I have a table of contents for a student and it has sites on it, just trying to think of some sites here. Okay. And I know you would never send your students to OTAN. But if I create, you know, I've got a list here. Now if you hit your refresh button, you're going to see just those words. Okay. Right now, I'm going to make this a link. And if you hit your refresh button, you'll see that OTAN became a link that you can click on now and it will take you to that site. Okay. So I can do all kinds of things. And I never have to worry about my students having the most latest greatest because they can't make a copy. And if they can't make a copy, that means I control a little bit. Right? I control this. Now, can they take a screenshot of it? Of course. Yeah. And then they could create their own stuff. You know, if someone really wants something that's on the web, they're going to get it if they really want it. They want to put the time and effort into it. But this, I mean, this is so cool that it's a dynamic always, it's a living, breathing document that I never have to worry about if my students have the latest greatest because, oh God, did they make a copy of it? You know, which, which version do they have? I never have to worry about it. I know they have this version. It's always the right one. Okay. This is covered a lot more in this document, the sharing and... Melinda, can I ask you? Sorry. Just recently, I've been, I use the Google, Google doc to create the survey things. Okay. And, you know, I accidentally send out kind of edit mode. Okay. Actually, the viewer actually modified, edited. So, so then that's it. You can't find the go back in original. Oh, absolutely. You can go back in time. Yeah. So I couldn't do it. So real real quick. This is a whole not the workshop here. But when you have any Google tool open now, any Google tool, you can go to file. Okay, you're going as the editor, you have to go to the file menu and then you're going to go to version history. And then you're going to see version history. Now, I defy you to find this on Microsoft. Version history on a Google doc goes back to the beginning of time of the document. So if I want to see what this document looked like at the beginning of its time, if it's inception, here it is right here. There was absolutely nothing on it. Okay. And then if I have a little arrow next to a date, I can look at the history of this document by clicking on what was the date and the time, the different dates and times. So what you do is you go back, you find the version that you want. Okay, here it is. This is before anybody screwed it up. Right. And then you're going to click restore this version. Please make absolutely sure that this is the version you want because once you do this, you can't go back in time anymore. Ah, this is like that's a trick. Yeah. So if I restore this, boom, there, it's gone back in time. Okay. And like I said, once I do that, I can't, I can't really undo it. It's, it's there now. Now, if you wanted a copy of that, you know, maybe you want to go back in time, but you want the copy of it as it, as it was, like, you know, after all the changes were made, you want to see what the changes were made. Right. So make a copy of the file first. So you go to file, make a copy that opens up in a new window. Then you come back to the original document and then change the version history. Version history is a game changer for everybody. I can go back to this ebook, the original ebook, and I'm going to go to file version history here. And this is going to take a while because this document was created back in January and actually was created before that because I copied it over. So if I wanted to see what this original document looked like back in January, January the 19th, right, I could go back in time to that version and see what, what did I do back in, back here. That's the other thing on version history, folks. It will take you the text, especially on docs. It's very apparent on docs that the text will become green. So you know exactly what was done. Okay. And if you have more than one person editing the document and you share with them as an editor, you will also see their names in version history. So you know who did what. So we kind of got off the topic a little bit. You did help me tremendously because I struggled to finding it and very simple word that were to find the version history. Yeah, that really helps. Cool. Very good. And somebody else was talking. Yeah. So when you do a preview, is there any way to drop the preview in a Google folder or it's just the link you can share? Like so if I have a presentation that I did and I want to drop it into a Google folder for others, can I drop the preview version in there? Or you can drop it in there as a document. You can drop it in there as a slide. You can drop it in there as a Google draw file. It has to be a file. Oh, it has to be a file. Or you can send it as a Gmail. Yeah. So you take that link and you can send it to people. I've never tried this before, but I just had the thought maybe naming the folder with that link. But then you have to share the folder. So it's kind of counterintuitive to do. Yeah. Okay. All right. So back to accounts and safety, sharing and transfer. So this is between accounts. If you have not just when we were talking about accounts, I'm just talking about your accounts. You have a club account, you have a public account. Okay. The sharing works the same between you and students as well. But you have to think of yourself as two different people when you have a club and a pub. Right? You've got your public entity self and you have your club, your teacher self. So you have to know who you are. And yes, you have to share with yourself. Pre-COVID, maybe everything you created was in your public account because that's what you could use. And then after COVID, your district decided, oh, my God, we got to get all of our teachers on our club now. And you were told, start using your club. But I have all these files in my pub. Right? So could you put the link on a dock and just put the dock in the folder? Absolutely, Nick. Yes. But again, you have to share the folder with somebody in order to get it to them. Right? A link tree is a really good idea. Really good idea. Back to accounts. I created this as SCOE Tech and I have shared it with my club self as an editor. I trust myself. So I give myself edit rights. Okay? So just you can, you don't have to make copies of everything that you put or that you created in your pub. You don't have to make copies of everything. And then as your club self, you don't have to do that. You could actually just share between accounts. But you have to remember who you are. You have to remember who you are. Get used to looking at that avatar. Who am I right now? I have one teacher that I've been helping that actually she started using, she started using her pub with her students. Now she's using her club. And she only gives her club view rights. So she still creates everything in her pub, but she shares everything with her club entity, with her teacher self, but she only gives her teacher view rights. And that way she knows in her mind it works for. But you might also, you might, if you are sharing, right, this is my pub account. I'm switching right now to my club account. And I'll look at that. I only have you only. Okay. I can, because I've allowed myself to, or because I've allowed viewers to, I don't know, I didn't, I forgot to add that link. So I, if I had set this up right, I would have been able to make a copy of this file. And then that way the file becomes, I don't know what I want to say. The file becomes owned by the, the second file becomes owned by the club account. So when you make a copy of your file, you have two, right? You've got one in your pub. And now, since you've made a copy, you've got one in your club. And that can get confusing, especially when the file names are the same. And then you make all these changes on one of them, but you can't remember. And then you make changes on the other one, but the changes are different because you didn't remember who you were when you went to go make changes. So be careful and keep looking at that avatar. So you know who you are when you're making changes, when you're creating files, when you're sharing with yourself, you know, fill in the blank. There's lots of reasons to look at that avatar to know who you are. And I keep opening up new tabs. There we go. Any questions on that? There's a lots more on sharing here, okay, about transfer of ownership. You can do that between pub accounts. So if I wanted to, if I, let's say I started all my files as party girl at gmail.com. And then, oh man, I should really have teacher esl at gmail.com, right? So I can share with myself pub to pub. And when you do that, after you add somebody, let me see, one of my one of my my pub accounts, blink a binky. Here we go. We're going to use this one. After you share with somebody, I'm going to send, you have to share as an editor, okay, so you share as an editor, and then you go back to the share, you can actually make them the owner. Wow, this would be really cool if you could make owner, or if you could change ownership between club and pub, huh? They won't do that. You can't do that, okay? It has to be pub to pub or club to club. So, and I know you guys aren't at the same agency, but I'm going to use your names anyway. Christina and Tony, let's say you guys are in the same agency and you're both using your club, and you're both working on a WASC document. Christina, you get promoted. You're no longer working on that WASC document. Well, you don't want Tony to lose it. You don't want Tony to lose it though. So what you would do is transfer ownership to Tony, right? That way, you're off of it. You can take yourself off of it and Tony still has it so he can continue to do the WASC. All right? So that's club to club. You can do the same thing, pub to pub. You can transfer ownership between at gmail.com to at gmail.com, or if the account is using an at yahoo.com that's considered public, it's a hybrid pub, you can transfer ownership that way as well. But Linda, show me that again, because I did have an incident that I wanted to give the ownership and I did not find that one. So show me again that one. Okay. So what I'm going to do to do that, to absolutely show you how to do it, I'm going to go to, I'm going to go to my club drive. Actually, I'm going to go to my club docs. There we go. I had to rethink that. So I'm going to go to my docs. I'm going to make sure I'm in my club. Okay. I'm going to go to OTAN, we'll see demo share doc title, go to doc title. I'm just opening up random file. Okay. I'm going to share this with someone in my club. So I hit the share button. I'm going to go to my club. And I'm going to share it with this person, who I know is in my club.  This is just for fun. Delete it if you want. There we go. All right. Now, I can't make her an owner yet. I have to share with her as an editor first. Okay. So I'm going to hit send. She's going to get a message that says, hey, Melinda, just share this document with you. Okay. You can do it right away. You don't have to wait for that person to acknowledge the share. You can click on the share button again right away. And then as I look in line with her name, I see the word editor. At this point, I can change it to anything, including make owner. Boom. Do you really want to make this person an owner? Really? The new owner will be notified. Some people will lose access to this item unless the item is shared. A big scary message. If you're really sure, yes, you want this person to be owner, just hit yes. You know what you're doing, right? And then hit done. Now, what do I become when I give someone else ownership of a file? Did anybody catch that? Yeah, it was shared with one person. It's shared with, but what are my rights now? I am an editor, exactly. Exactly. And as an editor, guess what? I can remove myself now and save it. Yes. Okay. But the document's still open. Yeah. But you can't do anything to it. And once you close that tab, I'm going to copy this link just to prove it to you. I'm going to close this tab. I'm going to refresh my seat. I can only remember what it was called, but I'm going to open a new tab and I'm going to paste that link, right? And it's going to tell me, nope, because I removed myself from the document. Okay. Troubled shooting question. Sure. So I have three counts. One, two pubs, one club. One club, okay. And so my default is my club, my school district one. Okay. I go to slides mania. I download a slides template and it always goes to my pub account. So is that because it's slides mania has that filter or that permission? It could be. It could also be because just go to Google.com. What account appears next to the waffle? Your club? Always your club. Oh, okay. Then yes, you did attach slides mania to a specific account. So you could sign out of slides mania, sign back in and when it asks you or you actually be creating a new account. Okay. A lot of apps now they ask you, hey, do you want to attach this to your Google? Which is really cool because it means once you're signed into your Google, you can open that app. You don't even think about it. You don't have to, you don't have to remember your user ID or password or anything for that particular app because it's connected to your Google. So it's actually created a single sign on an SSO for you. There's no sign on for slides mania though. You had to connect it to your Google account. Otherwise you would have to do something. Okay. Okay. Once you connect it to a Google, you don't have to sign on. You're right. Okay. So sign out of everything then go to slides mania and see what it says. And I bet you it gives you the option to connect, reconnect your account or connect to another account. Okay. And if it doesn't, come to the networking lounge this afternoon and let's discuss. Okay. Okay. I'd be interested to see that. Okay. Okay. Sharing, sharing drives, share drives. Question. I'm sorry. So regarding sharing, what will happen to a document if, for example, it was shared with you and you're just a viewer? And the person, the original owner leaves, like say they move to another location and they sever their email, what will happen to the document? Well, if they didn't sever the share stays until they turn it off. Okay. If you still have access to the document, the first thing I would do is check to see if I could make a copy of it. And if I can make a copy, then I don't have to worry about them anymore. It's mine after I make a copy. Okay. On a club, this also happens on the club. Teachers retire. Right. And after six months, all of their stuff is put into an archive. And you don't have access to it anymore. So if you're planning on retiring, you might want to, number one, get all your stuff out of that drive. And number two, make sure that it's shared with somebody else and that they can make copies of it. Yes, the administrator on the back end can actually assign everything in that drive to a specific person. It takes a lot of hoops.   You're sharing that with somebody else or you're giving it to somebody else, I should say. So, which leads me to the next thing. The stuff on your club, folks, should only be related to your club. Don't don't put your personal photos in your club drive. Because, hey, I got all the space. I can put all my photos here. No, don't, don't do that.  On the admin side, it only takes a checkbox for me to preclude you from getting to your stuff. All right. Now, would I ever do that? Absolutely not. No. Network admins are not there to make things hard on you, believe it or not. They're really not. It's okay. They get a bad rap, but if something is detected that is, what's going on here, or maybe there's been a complaint made or something that, and I'm not saying that would ever happen to you. I'm just trying to make you aware that what's on the club belongs to the club, right? So, make sure what you say to the club is just club related.  If you don't want your parents to see it, if you don't want your partner to see it, if you don't want your principal to see it, don't put it in your club drive, okay? There, big scary, scary is over. On club accounts, they have something called shared drives. They used to call this team drives, and then Microsoft started calling their new thing a team. So, Google said, okay, fine, we're shared drives now. So, this used to be a shared or a team drive. It's now shared drives on a club. And what you can do, this is really cool on a club, you can create a new drive.  So, let me go over that again, because most people miss it. They don't understand. To create a shared drive, you have to right click on shared drives, and then new shared drive. Now, here earlier, we just talked about WASC, right? And all the files that you have to have for WASC review are all going to be in this new shared drive. I just created it, there it appears, and there's absolutely nothing there. Okay, I don't have to do WASC, so, but I can add people now. I can add people and everything on this drive, this new shared drive belongs to the drive. So, I don't have to worry about editors deleting a file from this thing here, because I can manage them. I'm going to see manage members. Here we go. It's a little different when you're adding people. I'm going to add just a few people out of my club. Yes, you can add people outside of your club, but usually it takes a, on some clubs, it takes some special permission. So, these people that I'm adding right now are actually on my club, and notice these selections have changed. I don't have editor, now I have content manager. So, only content managers can add, edit, move, and delete files, right? Right here, if I make it a manager, then they can manage content, people, and settings. So, they can't delete files if I make them managers. So, isn't that cool? No, this is not available on the club, or pub. It sounds the same. That's why I get messed up. This is not available on the pub, but it is available on the club. So, share drives, and you can actually, there's different settings, and that's in that handout. I have another question regarding the share drives. So, if you have the actual share drive, and you have a folder inside there, and within that folder is another folder, and then there's the file on that particular folder. So, it's a share drive, a folder within a folder, and a file. If I share that file, and I have a bunch of other files in there, the other people won't necessarily be able to see it unless they're on the parent folder, right? On the actual external folder. Yes and no, it depends. You as the creator of the share drive can change permissions at any level. But if I only want to, if I only want one person, you know, one particular person to only be able to see that file and not the other files on the other folders, I would have to dig into that file and only share that file as opposed to putting them on the other folders. You could also not put them on the folder and just put them on the file. Okay, now if you have a folder that is residing within the other folders, but you only want a particular person to only see that particular folder, you can only share that folder, right? So, they don't see the other folders. What you're talking about is cascading permissions. So, and tell you what, let me, is there a new slide? There we go. So, real quick demo here. So, I'm going to get a, I'm taking too long. Here we go. Okay, so this right here is the top level folder, right? The one in the very far back. That's the top level. And then I have another folder within it. And then I have another folder within it, right? I'm just cascading. So, whatever permissions I put at this one right here, this top one, is going to cascade down into the next one. That includes all of the files in each file folder. I can then go into let's say file two for folder two. I'll go into folder two. And I go, you know, Chunhee, nope, she doesn't need access to anything in this folder. So, I can remove her from that folder level. Or I can go into that folder to a specific file. And I can add her if she wasn't added already. Or I can delete her. Okay. Okay. So, you've got a lot of management options. But just remember, whatever's at the top is going to flow down first. So, that's cascading permissions. They go down. You've never seen a waterfall go up, have you? And if you have, run. So, just remember to cascade down. But then you have control over your waterfall. You have control over where the water goes. Who gets permissions to what? Okay. You have the power when you create the shared drive. Okay. So, basically, the permissions go by tiers. Yes. So, if you put them on the innermost tier, they can only see what's on the innermost tier. Exactly. If you put the permission on the secondary tier, then they can see the secondary and the first one. Right. Got it. Okay. Or you can take them in and out. I'm saying yes. But I'm also saying maybe because you control it. You can put them at the second tier and they'll see the third tier. Right. Or you can put them at the second tier and take them out of the third tier. Okay. Got it. Yeah. It's up to you. Yeah. Thank you. All right. So, that's on the sharing. Were there any other questions on sharing with your account? Yeah. Have you ever seen anybody use the shared drives as maybe a way to, for your own file? So, like, I have so many files, if I just put a shared drive for the different programs that I'm involved in. But it's just for me. Has anybody ever used it that way? Yeah. There's one right here in mine. We got together as I started using these, this shared drive doc and accessibility checks. And it was just for me. But I knew that it might be important to some other people. So, later on, I added five people who said, yeah, I want that file. I want to use that. Would you ever just have a shared drive with yourself? Yeah, you could on your club. It's kind of lonely. Why, it's no different than having a folder on my drive. So, here's an assignments folder that I haven't shared with anybody. It's just like having a shared drive. It's exactly the same thing. I think I have like 50 folders. So, that's why I'm like, maybe the important ones I put on shared drive or something. You know what? It doesn't matter. Shared drive isn't more important or less important than my drive. It's just a different drive with different sharing permissions. So, if all of your files on my drive, they're no less important or they're no more protected or anything, they have no little special anythings over a shared drive. And a shared drive doesn't have anything over them, especially if you're not sharing with anybody. It's the same. Okay. Is it possible to move a folder from the shared to the personal? Because I know that in my district, I can move a folder from my personal to the shared, but it always says that if you do that, it will become the ownership will transfer into my district. So, is there a way to move the folder back from the shared to the personal? Here, let me create a folder. I think I understand what you're talking about. I uploaded. Yes, you can upload entire folders of information. Oh, not a file. Come on, Melinda. Where is folder? There we go. New. All right. So, here's a new folder, right? And let's say I add a person just for grins and giggles, because I want to get that message you were talking about. Emma LaVita. She's going to get all kinds of stuff. She's going to, what is this? What are you doing to me? All right. So, here, I've got two people on this WASC folder. Okay. Now, I'm going to try and move this folder from the WASC shared drive into my drive. And this is what, is this what you're talking about? Everyone who can see this shared drive WASC will lose access to this item unless this item is shared directly with them. This action cannot be undone. So, if I move something from, I have to, number one, I have to have created the folder in the shared drive. If I created the folder and put it in the shared drive, it belongs to me. Okay. I'm the supreme leader of that folder. So, I can drag it out. If I'm not the supreme leader, if I'm just a content manager, I cannot drag it out. I can make copies of it. Okay. I can make copies, but I can't prevent it or I'm not allowed to put it in my drive to prevent everybody else from seeing it. So, you are wish to- Actually, no. With mine, and I'm looking at it right now, if it's on the shared drive, even though I know I created that, it won't even allow me to drag it. Okay. If I go on my drive and I try to drag any folder there into the shared drive, it allows me to move it. Right. So, you can drag it out. Yeah. You can go from shared or my drive to shared drive, but you can't go from shared drive to my drive. Exactly. Your network is precluding that. Okay. Okay. So, again, you don't have as many rights as you do with a public account. You can do anything you want on a public account. It's yours. So, you can do anything you want. Did I, did I, did I, did I? Okay. But you wouldn't need a pub. You're actually being controlled by somebody else. So, you have to do what they tell you to do. You can ask. You can certainly ask and they can change settings for you if they're of the mind to do that. All right. You can certainly ask, though. All right. Sure. Let's see here. Okay. I'm kind of at the end of what I wanted to discuss on book two, book three, Google and Chrome account safety. This goes into all of these security settings that you might want to know about on your pub account, especially on your club account, you're kind of protected. Your network is looking out for you. You shouldn't have too many worries. But on your pub account, and if you want to follow along, just go to make sure you're signed into your pub account, go to accounts.google.com. Oops, accounts.google.com. There we go. And the URL all the way. Wait for the magic. Here we go. So, this is going to help you keep your account secure. You can usually get to this using your club account as well, but you won't be able to do as many things because your network is doing them for you. Okay. You won't be able to change your password when you're on a club account. Normally, I should say, whenever I say no, you can't. There's always room for error on Google. So normally, you are not allowed to change your password on a club account. On your pub account, you can. Okay.  You don't have to change it ever.  Right? So the club has settings on your account using the club. When you're on your pub, you can manage your data. If they find any security issues, this is really cool. So I'm going to go to the security checkup and they found something that looks risky. Oh my God. Remove risky access to your data. So evidently, I gave word search access to my Google Docs. For those of you that are Googlers, you know that when you add extensions, it asks you can, let's say one of these up here, bitly.com have access to your Google account or I'm sorry, Bitmoji or can AppScreenReader have access to your Google Docs. It can change your files. It can do this. It can do that. All they want is permission to put files into your drive that you've created using that app. So this awesome AppScreen recorder, I allow it to put the files that I've created into my Google Drive. I've attached them. Evidently, I did the same thing with word search. Right? So I can remove access at this point because Google, yeah, yeah, I know it. It's fine. You've got a little more button next to the apps that might be appearing there for you. You can ask it to remind you later or just dismiss. I know word search. It's fine. I've been using it. It's no problem. So you could dismiss this message and you won't see it again. I keep it here just so that I can show it during a presentation. What's the word? Sounds like. Okay. I'm going to continue to my Google account again. And then there's some privacy suggestions. You can manage your storage when you're on your pub account. It will tell you how much storage you have. I have 17 gigs. I got two extra gigs for doing a survey for Google. And they thanked me by giving me two extra gigs of storage, which I don't need because I'm not even using a gig of storage yet. All of my files are saved as Google. I use Gmail. I use docs, sheets and slides. When I want to use PowerPoint, I upload the PowerPoint into my Google Drive and it changes to a Google slide stack. No space.  PDFs cannot be made of Google. They will take away storage. Photos cannot be made. Google takes away storage. Videos cannot be changed. Audio cannot be changed. So those different file types, they can't be made of Google. So they will take away from your storage. If you save everything as Google, though, if you don't put Word files in your account and leave them as Word files, you're not using any space. I've been using Google since 2000 for a long time. And like I said, I'm not even using a gig yet. So if you get any notices, hey, you're almost out of storage on Google and want to buy some more, don't do it. Just convert your files to Google and you'll be fine. Okay. There's a lot more here on the account settings. There's also what I wanted to show you. There's Chrome settings and that's part of the handout as well. And I think I'm supposed to be ending. You have seven minutes. I guess seven minutes. Okay. So real quick on Chrome, when you sign into your Google account, remember, I signed in with my Gmail first. So that's why I've got my little green background here.  Okay. And when you sign in, that also becomes your default Chrome account. So if you're using Chrome, you should see two avatars. The default is always your Chrome avatar. I'm going to change my Google avatar to my club account and watch what happens to the Chrome avatar. Nothing. It stayed the Chrome avatar. It's still my work or my pub account. Okay. Now you can barely see it. I wish I could make it bigger for you, but I can't. Right here, it's got the green background on it. This is my club account. This is my Google account. This is my Chrome account. So when you sign into Google, the first account that you sign into becomes your default account. And it also becomes the account that Chrome recognizes as out first account. That must be the most important one. So we're going to keep that. Okay. Can you switch between accounts on Chrome? Yes, but not very easily. So keep that in mind. Yes, you can switch between accounts. It's not as intuitive. It's not just like click change, click change. You have to actually sign out of everything, sign back in, blah, blah, blah. It's a long process. Okay. For those of you that Googlers, it's not going to be that long of a process for you. I understand. All right. But those of you that, what is she talking about? The Chrome, just trust me, the first account you sign into is going to be your Chrome, your Google, they're going to be kind of attached. Now, is it the same user ID and password? Yes. Yeah. This account, this, here we go, go back to the green avatar. This account is the same user ID and password. What happened when I signed in? It said, do you want to sync all your data with Chrome? Yes, absolutely. Because that way I get my bookmarks. I get all my Chrome extensions. I get all my stuff. I can sign out. I'm going to do it. I'm going to sign out of all accounts. There it goes. And because our Google is attached to a club, it's signing me out there. Now, do you see what happened to my Chrome? It just paused. Okay. I can still use Chrome, but now I have a paused button here. All right. So what I would do, I want to use my Chrome. I can go do searching. I'm not signed into Google. All of a sudden, hey, oh, I want to do my email, right? So I need to sign back in. Okay. So I'm going to, I just go to any Google tool. Didn't really matter. And I choose the account I want to sign in with. It could be any one of these. Google has already attached and sunk my Chrome account. So it's waiting for this one to sign in first. Okay. And when I do sign in with this account, Google will know, aha, let's go, we take this back. We can sync because she already told us she wants to sync. Now, hopefully I remember my password, please. Penny has a great question in the chat about allowing Chrome to keep passwords for you. What do you think? Oh, my God, I'm going to cover that next. Thank you very much. No. Okay. Simple answer. No. So, but real quick, do you see how it doesn't say paused anymore? Because I already signed into this device using this Chrome, using my pub account. So Google was waiting for me to do that. If I wanted to, I could have switched accounts on Chrome. Now, next to the Chrome avatar is a settings. Okay. So you're going to, there are more button, the skinny snowman, skinny upright snowman. So you're going to click on that more button. You're going to go to settings and here's where you can manage your Google account. And yes, there is a password. Yeah, Google can, yeah, we'll just remember all your passwords for you. Should you ever let a browser remember your passwords? No. No. No. If you can't remember your password, and I understand it's hard. You've got 49 accounts across all of these apps and stuff. Everyone's got a different password or everyone wants a different password. It's hard. So use something like LastPass or some app that will remember your password for you. There's a lot of people here in the office that use LastPass. I actually don't use anything to remember my passwords. And yes, I have a different password for every single account, but I have a system. What I do is I have like the first part of all my passwords. It's like 12 characters. Let's pretend it's a song. Okay. And it's got some uppercase letters. And maybe the letter three, or the letter three, the number three, I use as an E in this song title. Okay. And then at some point in that, I will put the app name. Let's just pretend. And that's a system. That is not the system I use. That's the one I tell everybody about. So use different passwords. Either have a system where you know every single app that you sign into. You know the password for it. Don't use the same password for everything. That's a no-no. You guys know that. You've heard it. And you've probably dismissed it. Don't dismiss it. Okay. I'm here to tell you that's wrong. And it will bite you in the butt. So don't use the same password for everything. Get some sort of a system or use a password-saving app. Not a browser. A browser is not a password app. It doesn't have as much security behind it. It's not in any shape, way, or form insured to help you. It just don't do it. So if you have this on, I just turned it on. So the next time I go into sign something, sign into something, it will offer to save the password for me. And if I say yes, it will appear here. And guess what? If somebody else, if Vicki came into this office and she opened up my browser, I stay signed in because it's my device. She can come here and she can look at all my passwords. Oh, yeah. They're not encrypted. You can actually turn off the encryption because it figures, hey, you're signed in. You should know what you're doing, right? Don't save passwords on a browser. That's a no-no. Okay. Within Chrome, you have other security that you can set up. Don't turn on passwords. That's the main one. Go ahead. I've been using that for a long time. So should I go in there and just dump it all? I would. But first, I would write down all my passwords off to the side. But usually it won't let me look at them. They're all hidden. You're going to click on it and you should be able... See, I don't save them. There is a way to look at the passwords when you have it saving. So again, come to the networking lounge this afternoon and I'll go over that with you, Karen, okay? Anybody else that wants... Yeah, I got to end. Okay. You have... I'm going to show that link real quick and I'm going to send you out before I get in trouble. Here is the magic link right here. I'm going to put it in the bit.ly again. This will open three different books for you, all on security and account settings. And I hope you learned something. If you like this presentation and you're in California and you're WIOA funded or part of a consortium, we can actually come and do this presentation for you or just your staff or you can look for it on the OTAN site. Anybody can come then. And we go over... This is like a three-part series that we do.


If you've been up all night, here's the bro, here's the love, here's the ex They're here, it leaves, don't wear shit I found a way, 8th birthday, we're going back to Leeds again Let's get into this battle On the right-hand side, all the way from the USA His first ever in a match for the period So don't flop, my man, show me that, let's go! The MCI, you know the name? Raps are based on words! Two minutes of peace, join us up first, don't flop Hashtag us on the APW shit, please Join us, we'll be more domestic It was just like this I was sitting in silence And all I could hear was I was sitting in silence But all I could hear was Ryan dying while my mind lapsed in the minutes of blindness My mind, from flying victims dies, I clash in visions of violence Admiring the chemistry inside, syllable science And the flow nice enough to kill him with kindness I'm nice! Nicer than Mother Teresa I didn't realize how many fans were down with the movement Fans greet him like, how do you do it? Fans greet me like, how do you do it?

Never.  Satisfied yet? No?


Start at the camera. Start at the camera. We're doing it live. We're gonna do a whole episode right now. Here we go, you're in. We got matching t-shirts, baby. Let's go. I'm Lydred. And I'm Alex. And today we're talking about the five types of FPV drones that you should be thinking about as you're shopping this holiday season. Just a heads up. This list is gonna be the five different main types of FPV drones. It's not fully exhaustive. There's all sorts of different sorts of FPV drones. And as we go through them, we're gonna mention the ones that we have available in our store, cause that's how we support this channel. Of course, there are other options out there and you don't have to get the ones that we sell and we're not even saying that the ones that we have are the best. I mean, I think that's pretty good. It's the one that we fly. And if you do wanna support the channel, shopping with us helps us keep making videos like this. You can totally shop other options out there, but what we got, and hopefully it helps more of you guys start flying cause this is the best hobby ever. So Alex, take it away. First on our list is going to be a five intro. I mean, that's what we fly most of the time, right? We fly them for the show. You can put an action camera like a GoPro or a DJI Osmo camera on them. Typically, everyone who flies in this FPV community flies a five inch drone. Yeah, it's kinda like this staple. If you've seen any FPV video before, there's a good chance that it's a five inch drone. It's kind of like what this whole sport hobby community, whatever you wanna call it, this lifestyle was built around because they're just so dang capable. When we think about these drones, there's different areas of flight performance, right? So you've got your freestyle. You've got your racing. Those are the areas where these drones really shine. What about when it comes to flying indoors? Would you fly a five inch drone indoor? Not really. You probably shouldn't.  It's kind of dangerous. So what about cinematic? Can you use a five inch drone for getting those like super cinematic shots? Yeah, you can. I feel like a five inch drone has its limits. You can really only carry like a small ashe camera like a GoPro or a DJI Osmo. And you obviously can't fly as long well. Our five inch drones really only fly for about two to five minutes. Where some other drones we're gonna talk about can fly a lot longer. But overall, it's still the staple of FPV. It's what we focus on. Since it's what we do most here, we've got a ton of options. My signature frame is the Skyliner. It's built to be super tough. Alex, you've got a signature frame yourself. Yep, I have the CL-1 VS, which stands for Vanny style, which is my style of flying. Both frames are great options. If you're kind of like more traditional style, five inch quad, you probably would like my frame. It's got, you know, top plate, bottom plate forms. Yours is a little bit more kind of tailored to your flying style. Right, if you don't know what you're looking for, our standard HD-1 and CL-1 platforms are like right in the middle of the road. They're true X, they're super durable. They've just got a ton of options for the five inch frame and you really just can't go wrong. It's the staple of FPV and you're gonna have a great time. What's the next type of drone, Alex? Long range drones. That's where you wanna go? I wanna go long range drones. I feel like long range drones are not really talked about enough. I mean, there's kind of this- Well, what even is a long range drone? What makes a long range drone? Yeah, generally speaking, long range drones, obviously, fly longer, meaning they're more efficient. So a long range drone is usually bigger because we wanna swing a bigger propeller. That way it flies longer. You don't get that nimbleness or that, you know, small size of a five inch or maybe even the durability of a smaller quad. But you have a big propeller. It's more efficient, more thrust, which also means you can carry a bigger payload. Yeah, so it's definitely all about that trade-off where those five inch drones are kind of in that sweet spot where the prop is small enough that it's very maneuverable and big enough that it can carry the weight and generate the thrust that you need. As you go past the five inch drone to like a seven inch sized drone, that bigger prop disc is gonna actually allow for more efficient flight. You're gonna be saccharizing some of the maneuverability. It's not gonna be quite as acro, but you've got longer flight times and you can generate more overall thrust. So you can carry a heavier battery, which then in turn gives you more flight time. It kind of builds on itself or you can carry a heavier camera, right? Yeah, absolutely. A lot of the times from the filming stuff that I do personally is with a bigger drone, like seven inch propeller or even bigger sometimes because we need to carry those cameras. So what type of cameras are you carrying on your seven inch? Red digital Komodo's. Seven inch, you carry a red camera? That's nuts. Well, we fly what's called an X8. So instead of a normal quadcopter with four motors, we actually have motors on the underside as well. So it's eight motors, but with seven inch propellers. And it's pretty darn maneuverable. I have carried the GH5. I've carried a black magic pocket cinema camera. That sounds like a pretty crazy machine. We don't have anything quite that nutty here but we do have is the HD1XR extended range. This drone is a great way to kind of get into the long range game. Try it out. It's not the be all end all camera red Komodo, but you can still carry a GoPro with it and you can get much longer fly times, fly greater distances and see, you know, is long range something that you want to get into, right? For our next type of drone, we got to talk about micro drones. Micro drones are so awesome because they're a much more approachable way to get into all this. They're smaller, they're more affordable. There's less risk involved with flying them. And particularly in this time of year, a big advantage that you can fly them indoors, right? So.  It's probably besides five inch, I would say the most common type of FPV drone in this industry. I mean, there's a whole Facebook group with almost as many people, if not more, than people who fly five inch for just timers. I mean, these things, flying a little 1S battery, they're super cheap. You can build them for like 70, 80 bucks, like a really premium ones, maybe $100.  You might get stuck in your hair, but they're overall super fun and a perfect drone to learn to fly a FPV. Yeah, during the colder months, it's something that the drone community comes to call tiny whoop season.  And there's other types though, micro drones we haven't mentioned. There's things like the DigiWoop. Right, that's what we have here at Rotoriot. It's a bit larger than the tiny whoop. It's actually got a two inch propeller. It's a bit heavier and that's because it's actually carrying a digital system. So it's not quite as carefree as a tiny whoop, but you can totally fly it around your house safely, right? No, absolutely. I mean, it's great. If you have the digital goggles, say, for flying a five inch drone or something like that, it's really awesome. You can fly it indoors. Here's a little bit more weight. You may not want to get hit by it, but you can fly inside, outside. If you have a nice, you know, little backyard or something like that. It's actually a really, really fun drone to fly. It's a great thing to have in your arsenal as well. And a big element of these micro drones that we're talking about are the fact that they have ducts or some other form of prop guard and that's what makes them just so friendly for inside. We've definitely seen micro drones that had unshrouded props, but they just never became quite as popular because having like a tiny whoop or a DigiWoop where the props have like a bumper just means that you can like straight up bump into a wall and just bounce off it without your prop stopping and knocking it out of the air. It just makes it way more safe and approachable for flying inside and around people and objects and stuff. So what about the fourth category? I would say we're gonna talk about CineWhoops now because that segway is right out of micro drones. CineWhoops are basically taking a lot of the good things about a micro drone and mixing it with five inch drone, right? No, absolutely. I mean, CineWhoops are one of those things where you wanna be able to fly around people, right? So we have those guards, but you don't wanna fly around people with like a five inch or a seven inch or a range. But you wanna be able to carry a camera, right? So you need that payload. So that's kind of where the CineWhoop falls in.  You put a GoPro on top and boom, you can fly around people, get some really crazy shots. Really quick, when it comes to CineWhoops, I have to shout out Ben Wafenke. He's done some really cool choreography with some like karate people. Like it's an awesome clip. And I feel like in the FPV community, a lot of people who are getting into FPV before filming do like the CineWhoop. Yeah, I gotta shout out Nurk. I always kind of think of Nurk as Mr. CineWhoop himself. He's been supporting and working with Andy Shen of Shen Drones since the beginning and really helped make CineWhoop so popular. And actually the CineWhoop that we carry here at Rotorite is based on the Shen Drones Squirt. So when you buy a Rotorite CineWhoop, you are getting a Shen Drones Squirt built up with the components that we here at Rotorite have picked out to give you guys the best possible performance for carrying a GoPro and getting those like crazy smooth through object shots. And I feel like the final category is one that you may not expect. We kind of covered all the drone stuff, but we haven't talked about one thing, that's simulators. Right, may not have expected that to be number five, but simulators are absolutely something you should be considering shopping for when you're shopping for an FPV drone because they're way cheaper, way safer. There's virtually no risk. Yeah, I was gonna say you can, if you have never flown an FPV drone before, the best thing I always tell people is jump on a simulator. We really, really like lift off. I personally like the drone racing league simulator. There's also lots of drone that's out there. I mean, you have all these really great options for simulators and they fly with profiles just like the drones we fly.  Yeah, so I know if you're thinking about getting into FPV drones yourself or if you're shopping for someone this holiday season and then about helping them get into FPV drones, I know you wanna jump straight to one of the drones that we talked about today, the five inch freestyle drone. The Cinewhip, the long range cinematic beast, whatever. But at the end of the day, really consider a simulator as your first step. Buy a simulator and buy yourself a radio to fly that simulator with. A great option is the Fat Shark 101 radio. It's only $40. And you can plug it right into your simulator. Our choice would be lift off. That's like $20, right? So for $60, you're getting a very real FPV experience and building the skills that are going to translate as you get into FPV. I mean, if you just can't help yourself, I know I was kind of like that and I had to just go straight for it. Buy yourself a drone and get yourself a simulator and start on the Cinewhip. Use your way into it. Keep that drone on a shelf for maybe a couple of weeks. Why are you playing your Cinewhip looking at it? Be like, what day? Yep. Someday soon, I wanna get into it. I'll say this, you won't regret the $20 and some practice on the simulator because you're going to crash your five inch or long range or whatever drone it is. Save yourself some money, get on the simulator. Honestly, I still, I fly simulators all the time. Yeah, no matter how long you've been flying, the simulator remains to be a great tool to build that muscle memory and get rapid practice because every time you crash, you just hit the R button and you reset and you're flying again and now walking down to the field and picking up maybe broken pieces.  So the DJI Digital FPV remote, that works right with the simulator. So if you got that, you could start playing in the simulator and then when you bought yourself an HD one, a Skyliner, a Cinewhop or a Vanty style, whatever, that remote will bind up right to it. And there's almost every radio that's on the market. It fits a spectrum, if it's an FR sky, if it's a Futaba, almost everything works on the market, it's compatible with all the simulators and there's tons of resources on the web for you to be able to get it working. So guys, I hope this showed some light on the different types of FPV drones that are out there. If you're just kind of learning about this awesome lifestyle and you're seeing some of the videos, how are they even doing that? What are they using? This kind of covers all the different things and all the different types of flying and different types of cinematic shots that you can get in the drones that we would choose to get those types of things. If you guys are interested in any of the drones that we talked about, including the simulators, be sure to check out the Rotorite Store. Link is in the description. It really supports us. Yeah, again, we're not saying this is the only or best option. There's tons of options out there and you can totally shop around and find something that maybe we don't have here. But when you do shop with us, it helps support our operation here in Orlando, Florida. It helps us keep making awesome videos like this. Absolutely, guys. Thank you so much for watching this video.
