OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. There we go. Okay, what we're going to do, my name is Debbie Jensen and I've worked in adult instance, 87. And I retired just after the pandemic started. And so I was able to participate for a while and retired and my grandchildren would be now. So it's a different experience but I work for OTAN, which keeps me involved and keeps me excited and happy. So I'm happy to be here. Now I want to share with you CK12. What we're going to do today is we're going to look at what it is, what it can do for you. We're going to look at the adult education new website and the resources that are there as an educator than as a student would see it. We're going to look a little bit at my experience using CK12 and we're going to go live a couple of times because there's no way for you to understand just how cool this is unless you get to see it. So CK12 is a foundation. It was founded with the mission to enable everyone to learn in their own way. It is international and there are 236 million users. Certainly it's being served right now and that number goes up so I can kind of change this slide. 342,000 flexbooks have been customized. 1.83 billion questions have been answered. How else can I tell you about how great they are? They've been around since 2000. Hello Marjorie. And their philosophy is beautiful. They truly want worldwide everyone to have educations met without a loss. There will never be a payoff and so you'll always be able to use them. So that's remarkable. A couple more things about them. Quality. Their content has been developed by 100 plus PhDs, professors, teachers, authors, NASA scientists and many others over the last 15 years and the accessibility is it's all devices and they ensure that as the device comes along they make sure that they can still be seen there. So your students will have access on any device 24-7. So that's now if we were to go live this is the first screen you're going to see. So if you do CK12.org you would see this and right here where it says switch to teacher version it would change the slide slightly. Okay but what you would see if we continued going down, oh that's right it's a slide I can't do it it's not live, was you would you begin to see the things that they offer for the student and also notice there's a couple of things here that are interesting we have flexing new and we have the class code so again as a student so they would be able to get in. Now I just switched to the teacher version. All I did was I clicked that button and this is what you see. A free assistant to every teacher because besides having great content and and that really fits your need for your student it would be nice to have someone help you and they do that. They pay attention what the students doing so you know how much time they spent what they had trouble with. They have AI practice so if they get the question wrong they change the question and get more help and so they do all these things to try and make it just easier for you as a teacher. Okay if I'm going across the top they ask you for subjects and they ask what do you want to teach today and this is what you would see. The original courses that were offered were in the STEM courses so we had science technology engineering and mathematics. In partnership they also have added English economics government history and we have been instrumental in helping them with CTE and ESL. So I circled the adult education because as of two years ago that didn't exist. Neda Anasari would go to OER conferences and me Carl who was the CTE person and they would have lovely conversations about how adult education to have CK12 and so they made it happen and so we were invited in and we have a partnership with them just this year. They modified it even more so that we really have a and we will look at that so you can see what's there but just take a look at what's here. You can see your your high school courses here okay. You can see math handled level so that if you're ABE I'm not going to be looking for algebra okay. Probably I would be looking more at grade four because that's where most of my ABE students work okay. All right if we continued on they talk about the different kinds of resources not just what they call as a flexible which is a digital textbook that has component parts like video interactive simulations those kinds of things and we look at them but they besides that they have simulations that you can look up just that and so one of the teachers they were good with their work. They didn't need that that wasn't important but to have a simulation that he could start at the beginning or the ending of his class to get the students involved that was very useful and the adaptive practice is where concepts are they have a huge huge data bag of questions. Now they think well how that useful to me or could it be useful to me and yes it can be because one of the things you can do with CK12 is you can customize what you are using of theirs make it your own or you can use their platform to make your very own digital textbook completely your own and so at that point you're thinking having to ask all those questions but they've got thousands and thousands and thousands of questions that you can use theirs and different levels and so it shouldn't make the whole process easier. Then plicks are called play learn interact and explore in the math and the science concepts now I didn't teach math or science well I did teach math but so it was like how can I use these simulations in physics and chemistry or or these you know except have your students ever had a question about why the moon and the sun are how do we get any clicks? What is an earthquake? Oh California you might get them interested and so they can use them too you just have to see what's best and then be able to use them. All right automatic grading and reporting if you have an LMS already in your school you might have Schoology you might have Canvas you might have Google Classroom we had Google Classroom if you have those this integrates perfectly with them and the grades will appear in your grade book but let's say you don't well then make a class here and that ck12 do the grading for you and record that and it gives you things and we will look more at this this is a heat map so that instantly you can tell whether your students are getting it or not. All right as a teacher you want to meet everyone's needs but you already know you can't there's no way for you to teach to everyone's level in your classroom but you can't with the health technology and we see k12 they believe that the different modalities some people learn better one way or another and so what happens is they have related content so that if the students going through a lesson and they just want a little bit more they can click on the related content and there they can find videos or other things that are on the same topic that they can use so ck12 offers you to be the teacher as well as me and that's that's cool okay now here i wanted to stop and go live because yes so let's see if i can do this a little that way let's go maybe that way i think and maybe that way okay are you guys still seeing the free assistant for every teacher this is the online folks you guys see it can you guys see it i know everybody's checking yes but i think someone's text yes out there okay all right so we are now live at the site i have already put in mine you will be asked to set up an account um for several reasons you can look at the site and see all the good stuff that's there you can't but you want to have the library of your stuff yes they see look at the live site not share that that screen i'll just sort of share screen see how i knew it i knew it you're seeing yours and not mine all right so now let's try it again all right now we want that one i still want the share sound thank you for paying attention to that now are you seeing it oh i should be looking for participants can now see your application all right live site okay all right so this is where you'll start you'll get your own account at that place you can tell them what subjects you teach okay why is that important because then they're going to try and figure out what you might like and they'll throw those things at you so they they'll say you might like this you might like that so that you'll set it up that way this one is my account i have several now on this i want to show you one thing because if i forget to show you this is one thing that just changed it used to be along the top right there was library and library is the most important place because every time you find something in life you gotta put it somewhere so you just dump it in your library now they have filters to help you find it when you put it there but you gotta have a place to go libraries gone and so the first time i was back i contacted katie at ck12 and she said oh yeah it's right here okay so here you're going to see the dashboard my classes my library and the settings okay my classes would be as you create your classes you can access them quickly there um dashboard is where we're gonna go but i just wanted to show you that that's where your library is and all the way through it wherever you are if you see a um simulation you like if you see a picture like if you see a book if you see a real history real world if they're called which is a real application and they're short but they're really nice because they really catch your attention any of those things you can just put them in the library okay so i'm gonna go to the dashboard and because i told them i was interested in math that's what they gave me the last thing i was looking at was um i was trying to help create a course or a cte course in the medical field and so you're seeing some of the things and they're they're trying to help okay you can see that you can or it's recommended by subjects standards align concept maps and then as you go down you can just see the different amazing things that they're trying to help you with okay now what we're going to do we're going to go to subjects and we're going to go to the adult basic education section and notice it's division divided up into our programs okay now i'm just going to pick a course you could pick anything this is foundational math one question this was asked me one time was when they looked at the ab courses i'm jumping ahead um there's a lot of math ones and you're thinking why would you have so many the reason was because we were grabbing things that have already been created but remember you can start at the same place you can look through the ck12 materials find what you like and create your own and so also when you go through the different things you might find well that's not quite the way i would teach it i teach it a little differently okay so here i am it tells you a little bit about it shanna friend was the one who did create it she's an uh um high high school equivalency teacher in washington and um she's done some remarkable work my name is there only because i put it in so um it's her work all right so now choose if i click on choose i can assign it right there i can add it to the library i can customize it make changes in it i can add it to a flexbook that i'm creating so that you can combine flexbooks from variety sources i can share it with my class and there's one more i can download it as a pdf i don't know where to put that so download it as a pdf do we ever need that do we have a kind of student that has to be paper because they have no access you've got it all right so here we go these are but um chapters and i think i'm going to go all the way down here to percent and we're just going to pick one okay so what you're going to see is the it's clear it's it's nice to read it's easy to read you've got you can add pictures you can add videos problems more videos there's a quiz that's associated with this it's right down here and says mucus here you're seeing icons this is to find insights about the class this is so that they can actually highlight and underline in the class here is where you can get the insights as a teacher related content this one i don't think has any added yet but you can add so it's not like you have to take anything the way it is okay all right now let's just go this way okay see the previous lesson i think this one's cool looking because graphing is such an interesting thing to try to teach very visual you can make long lessons you can make shorter lessons but again all of it's there this one is a um simulation and so you would launch it right here right in the lesson okay all right what else can i show you so since the program is available worldwide is it available in different languages languages in two ways yes you're at the answer to your question is yes let me see where i want to go to show you that there we go all right so we're going to go back up here to explore and there's a listing of the languages but you can always use google and so that's one of the ways that originally i wash you is what you can use google translate and that what 90 languages right there not perfect translation but they are putting it into languages and i think there's like six Spanish one of them is the one that working on making courses directly in Spanish but there's some others i think i got the wrong screen oh oh there it is here's the translations Spanish Korean uh luch Chinese Greek and polski all right um but again google translate all those any questions because we're going to come back live so if you think of something as we're going through the slides and you think of something that you'd like to see let me know because we're going to go live again at the end what time are we going to be um when you say that you can create you can connect directly to the class we're going to pass them you can directly go from there to the that's what i did that's what i export or you don't exit you just click a button and i'll show you that because that's the way i did it i didn't have canvas and i didn't have school that you but some schools do and if you do that would be great okay because those require you to work with your district because the district criminal has to click a button google classroom don't have to do a button right yeah you can just do it outside and so that's okay let's see if i can now stop my share here and go back to the powerpoint okay share again yes did i do that no i did not before i got here so let's get back out try again and so let's go to share screen this is the one i'm sharing share the sound and share okay everybody should be on the same page i'm hoping we're gonna start from the current slide i am so proud of this because this is what started this year now you are going to see people that are here at this conference and that just feels so good and so um they are anxious i was able to get with the lady who is the head of the ck phone and a marvelous she's indian and so she's very anxious for worldwide and very anxious to incorporate adults because she knows this isn't just a world where we're trying to educate children everyone she gets it and so it's wonderful and she's always checking the statistics wait wait the thing with adult ed is we have to get to the point where suddenly explodes and we haven't gotten to the explosion part as you can see that we haven't gotten there yet but we will think about your admin think about how much money it costs to buy textbooks for your high school property department and think about how fast they are obsolete the history book the science book so i'm going to let you talk a lot of those things have to do with curriculum is said by school districts and states and some of these things on who decides what you're teaching i might have great lessons but as a teacher i have limitations on is it said curriculum by the my district or my state so because we are accredited let's say i wanted to make my student right of school you know my school and obviously i'm going to use their curriculum but i'm not accredited so at the end of the courses or at the end of when they finish all the modules yes they have the learning which is great and yes but but i can not provide them with a certificate because i might mean my person is not an accredited right you don't have the high school diploma right and so um so it has to be at the admin level for that right a b i'm fine the s l you're fine right high school diploma for t t a my school diploma it comes yeah our board has to have approved it for the regular k-12 if we're an adult school that's in the k-12 and that's why a lot of colleges don't do high school diploma because i don't think there's a mechanism for them to even adopt those so you're that color yeah i correct that's right so this is a big question but it's been done if you go and there's a place on on that one place for schools they have schools maybe but they also have school schools and there are whole districts and whole sections of that in California California we're still small mostly private but there are some here in southern southern southern so well i think you know it becomes a thing about how textbook companies make money imagine learning just bought literally everything literally everything i've ever used since 2005 as a digital teacher so like that concerns me greatly that seems like an antitrust thing that that's just maybe no but your your point is well taken we are at a beginning point you can begin the discussion you can put these things in your text in your classrooms to help you know and then you can invite it and it's just supplemental yeah and it's bringing me to this idea when with the keynote speaker opened up with that video what's the internet i don't think i'm ever gonna use it because i already get a lot of information it has a little bit of that feeling where imagine international education or worldwide education and and it's accepted by you know whoever once you make that leap you don't have that issue right because you need to slap your bunch of my book just for like my campus 602 so i like my brain does the math automatically right this will save me 20 000 a year however these people who have worked so hard to get their material approved they're gonna fight this it's a billion dollar business oh it's huge yeah it reminds me of that and i don't want to derail no no i mean being a teacher at heart like that's what i do for 27 years i pretended while we're having this whole thing and i'm supposed to just be moderating i went on and i thought okay pretend you're the dilling and they teach right find the hack i'm looking right now and there isn't a hack there isn't there there are no loose answer keys right now the best i could find is kids on tiktok that can do like a lesson to cheat but really there's there's no cheats out there like i can find for multiple other platforms that i have to use which is kind of good that's a good thing you feel like they're on your side yes i'm trying to help you i mean i can find no flaw with it because i've looked at it since we went to uh you know we went to sacramentalism it looks amazing it looks the possibilities are quite open yes it's great that it's international it's great that it will be in different languages um i know myself that i'm connected or well connected with mexico and different organizations um if i had an international school and i can together curriculum obviously somebody will back me in a sense of certifications i think learning is learning obviously if you come in and you uh let's say you take the whole course for high school diploma and then you go to an accredited school and then you just complete their program there to get that piece um then you have you come in with the learning so therefore you just essentially prepare for the test and take it there so somebody will get the credit but it doesn't really matter if you're really looking at who it would benefit if we're really benefiting the student then it makes perfect sense and who cares about who gets the credit or how we go about creating the partnership that's going to give them the certificate or that the diploma but um immediately how i see i can use it being the advantage teacher okay is i would definitely use this as a supplement just like i did con academy ten years ago sorry well i think that's good i just i just signed up i immediately come you know i have a textbook and i have another you know we're teaching what is the adopted by the board because you got to get it well you have to work with k-12 this is common core right this one is common core now the ab the the adult school standards are just starting we have one course that they went through and actually did the work to show it but we're common core already right so if you're having to talk to the school board you say look you already accepted these standards you wrote the standards this written to those standards so they're there okay so just a couple things sure i know it's exciting i really appreciate your if you find something you click here so what you do is you have a unique url that you can send out right there that's how fast and easy there's nothing more you don't have to set up a class um that's just you just hope for the information it can give you about how long the students are on it and what they're having troubles with but you don't have to okay you also have navigation helps so you've got the same things that we have with others you've got your uh red chrome trail you've got the forward and the backward those are all available for you um class insights which will tell you about what's available above their students and we'll look at that a little more in the future i had to teach my students how to read a book with comprehension and so being able to have them underline the text put notations there and have their notes available to them that's cool because we can't you do that in other books so i love that also let me move all this stuff out of the way you have practice now the other one i showed you was some practice it said quiz that was because when we create our own or modify we're in the quiz section where it's the questions that we pick up practice is on the courses created by ck 12 and they use a to have 10 questions they tell you exactly the level that the students at are they moving up to a medium level are they where are they how many have they got done what's happening with them also over here we have flexi who is a student tutor who they can ask questions and get more help with um there's a question from yes this may be a question for later on but how much can we add and it remove from flexbook and what would help align a little more to standards based on the current point the gentleman brother okay it's let's go live i will show you where it shows you all right back to share screen there no i have to get it to where i want it first right up there and i want to go live okay now i got to share it just but oh that's probably right okay so then we're back to here and i'm gonna share my screen share my screen here okay so one thing i did not point out that i should have okay here's your ccr and you know no no college is the common core standards for math this is another set of standards that are science standards that are accepted and so if i needed to see if they are aligned to the common core standards i could find them and so yes you will have to look at specific courses but they will have listed what alignment there is texas got involved in a big way and they created courses and you can see the alignment to the standards that are there so standards are there you'll just have to see how they align with ours it's going to take a little more work and if you do it let us know because then we will put the courses here in our adult education section and we will put the alignments to the standards that you have found so that we can then give it to everyone adult ed teachers have a tendency to recreate the world all the time wouldn't it be nice to share and find things already made and so as we all work together we'll be able to accomplish more so there are there are standards here okay which will be a great continue to this presentation and we actually got to get together as an adult ed and then develop some lessons that are current absolutely i think oh you want me to go back to the moderator i'm not supposed to be commenting somewhere i think one of the first things that my leadership would ask me is how do we know this will be sustainable who's where's the funding coming from to back this and i know it says in our profit when i look it up on wikipedia but specifically which nonprofit you know what i mean that's it because if the district's going to allow me to use something they want to know we have to be committed to it for seven years because board language says that that's pretty much universal throughout every board of every k-12 in the state of california once we and it it's another reason that like book publishers are not allowed to change something in a seven-year cycle because we commit to use it and or buy it usually but in this case you use it they would like to know how how can i guarantee that it will not change or or the cost or our cost will go up yeah exactly i mean you may not have that answer but i mean i know those are all the conversations you've got to have and you know them because you've been in the boardrooms i haven't been in boardrooms but i can tell you that there are the one of the testimonials that i will show you is from the the person who was teaching that he's in charge of the money in his school districts in court and he adopted it and then said to the teachers you're going to do this and we have another one down here in southern california that has done the same thing so yes it's who you're going to talk to we can get all excited and you can use this in your classroom and your students will benefit that's that's the point can we make it bigger we just have to get the right folks right i have a question you said in cordillania kind of like our private school it was it was a state district a state district okay yeah so it is happening but it's happening in little pockets okay little pockets because you're right you've got to fight some big money okay this minute gotta make sure that clicked everything okay so um let's see what else can i show you oh we need to go from the current slide there we go all right next slide okay this is the notes where the notes will appear so the student has their notes they can print them and they can use them you can also um let's see okay i think i showed you that one i guess so distracted sorry oh i wanted to show you this usually you don't think about study guides things those are great they have the students help write them they had the students tell them what they needed help with the needed to remember and so the study guides are pretty cool so i look at it and i say oh my goodness this is good i got to print this and keep this out for the students because it's good stuff so that was nice too okay push that one right participants only see slide controls when you're in presentation mode okay we'll start it again let's stop that and i will focus and come here to zoom and go to i'm not i'm gonna have to go to my powerpoint first i've got it twice maybe that's my problem we'll try that let's see if that's gonna make it better and then we'll go to zoom and now we'll you want to share oh just to share a screen okay and this one allows us to sound okay all right and now we're going to go from the current slide let's see if i can advance because that's where i had problems is when i tried to advance it it wouldn't go okay all right here's the tool icon and then you can see the related content and it used to be the point to start a lesson they would have the content there but they have changed it and put it here so that you can add to it and so it's just i think it's one of the reasons that i really like it is because they're very dynamic and they're very focused on trying to constantly not just keep it up to speed but to improve it and you asked about the money we need to google her name okay see how that works because it's literally under her name all i could find was it's grandfathered it would you know i could even give backing if i knew witchcraft and see that's girl yeah and you know what you would get a response you could go to um ck12 and they want us to participate and if they find why we aren't quite jumping they would be very interested if it has a good curriculum and then a good way to attach it to to google classroom or whatever platform you use then you can test pilot with a online course as a supplemental to whatever you use the students have access they're gaining more of skill practice and so they can move on and essentially achieve the marks that you want right you can test it you achieve the levels that you want to or the students graduate or get those a b e causes payment points that you're holding teaching with an online thing teaching with textbook and using this and see absolutely i would love to be involved with that that would be great okay back to your beginning screen how do you get started you can go by subjects you can go by explore i showed you that this is where your library is so when you want to find it you can find it okay continued on they have started this is a new one here's where you you put your search you know i'm looking for apples or no i'm going to do that i'm looking for percentages or something you put it here but they've got this little guy here and it they're just trying to make it easier every time i go back it's like they're trying and you can use the support to ask question now when you use the search let's say i put in what's going to come up is this screen and i want to point out the top you can find the things that are in your library you can get it there this is what ck12 has so they have car loan real world annuities for long read simple interest equation but that didn't quite do it for me that wasn't quite what i wanted so i clicked on community contributed and i have car loan project i have show me the loan money maybe much more going to be what i want so don't forget the community contributed it's massive people who use things that they brought in people that have taken ck12 and used it now ck12 that's their own material but they can't vet what somebody else has done so you're still back to yourself having to say is this exactly what i want to take it out if it's not okay all right okay and then again the screen i wanted you to point to point out a couple of other things that are here so that you can see i also love the flexlets this was covid remember remember when we were teaching march to me and your students are just sliding and you're going to start up in the fall and you don't know what to do because you're just watching the news or anything because you couldn't quite get the whole curriculum together just too short months they came up with flexlets and they were designed for whichever math or science topic that you needed to keep them up with that that was there and they're very tight and they're beautiful and i they fit ab so well because there's concepts that students don't get all right now we're going to try something and i have my fingers crossed but it's not looking oh there it is okay online should be able to see and hear this just fine you guys maybe not but what this is it's this tutorial on how to use the simulations and i wanted you to see how amazing they are okay so fingers crossed that you're going to be able to hear it just crossed welcome to the sim instructor tutorial these days are appropriate for um school high school when you go to simulation college level tutorial button and so that's what i suggest you you look at the coverage is broad from in our last class we actually were in the closed captioning but i can't quite get to it see if i can but i just i'm i'm so surprised by what they see if i can bump it forward mechanics okay so this is one about running and you're learning about all of the user's device and personal preference it's so much more complicated about it but introductory video can be scared and so you can add different things to this video they wrap it and this is just one typically character they've got so many of them that are available to you and then there's all sorts of things you can modify things you can learn okay where am i going in which students can watch how you can full screen it you can make it smaller you can add things how at the very end and i think you just can't take my word at the very end how this information they allow you and your students to add to this once the user has so if you have another example of using this concept related in science you can put in each so this would be a community image allowing the students to ban the basic they talk about this how it's friction is to stop moving vehicle apparently that's the same concept but you can add your own and then you can have students be pondering what's another application of this and add it and that just that was just amazing so you would add a similar example community contributing content all right we are eager to open up a conversation with the physics education community and this is the one that kind of breaks my heart because i wanted you to hear her because this is where she talks about what it was like for her and when she went when i was a little girl in elementary school and what she saw the teachers were using chalkboard and chalk and this was recently when i went to visit classrooms is the same story i noticed things haven't changed since it was still using chalkboard and chalk to demonstrate subjects like geometry so that there could be singling every time a teacher wanted to change the shape you or she was working with and now i can't remember how that erases and she even shows this made the students lose connection very often and you see these things and it's because it's very hard to remember what's wrong and this is something that i wanted to make it to everyone the teachers and students could not only create so actually interact well i'm going to give you the presentation so you can see it okay so this is one of the kinds of things and it's pretty simple drag the red point on line one line of to house a and house b drag the red points of the other line to house c and house d have you created parallel lines that's just a simple question but it's interactive and there's lots of them okay this oh how funny i'm very good okay now i continue down okay this is the guy in cordillane he's the director curriculum district administration of the cordillane school district and i hope and he his point was he wanted all of his students to be able to go at the speed they needed to go to that they weren't being driven too fast or too slow and that they would have access to the teachers and that was his we also have she's very funny because they have over 200 testimonials i listen to them all and they're just fun but her comment was okay it comes in and says teacher i'm sorry i didn't do my homework i don't have computer at home and another kid says dude use your phone but that's fine there's also teachers here that they used it for over one year to the next and she said i'm watching my students critically think i'm watching my students begin to realize where they need to ask the question and how they can find the answer themselves and that was powerful critical thinking another teacher she just didn't like to wheel the cart with all of her stuff so she put all her stuff on so that she had it available to her and then this one parent coming in and apologizing that he couldn't tell his child because he couldn't speak english and read it well enough and she showed him google press it so that he could help that was that was cool all right i do like technology i do but sometimes i just it's so frustrated i don't know why you know well let's try this can't do this i don't want to have it next to the hashtag it's so typical it's just yeah chili okay now we're going to go through the adult side because this makes me just it makes me smile because i know these people i know the administrators i know you know and so this is her story she got her nice little book what it's so cool what am i very patient okay okay let's try this cooking i saw the other people play they're done oh it's not video it's a screenshot oh that one doesn't happen i you've seen online okay so if we kept going down these are the courses that we available right now i want so much more um because when we started this they said then find which can't so that's me searching all right and so again you'll see mostly math but i needed i needed a reading course and so what i did was i went to the fourth grade science lessons because everybody wants to know about her and eclipses and these kind of how does the plant grow and who cares if you're reading about it near a to b plus and so i created the course that way okay and use their questions okay it can be done and it's not hard because you're using your materials you just put them all together and cut out what you don't want yeah well i ended up being ahead so i i i already just created my account but in esl not much there yet huh well it's all community created and you did it right oh that's the label we have to do what we did it yeah yeah because so they didn't create it and even if you use their course and change nothing because you have taken it it will be called community contributed so so so if i have it i'm looking at what i like and before i put it into my classroom and i mess with it can i change it okay okay so here's high school you can almost run your whole course i mean you look at the titles you've got biology economics government history uh move that up chemistry physics algebra one algebra two pre-algebra so you've got it pretty much there oh i was trying that nope that doesn't work no it's like an enter i tried that i tried that i tried that okay we're going to stop sharing and we're just gonna go back in maybe it's just having a hard day okay now we'll go back to screen sharing back here okay let's see if we can do it now okay so here is the high school equivalency and that this was that lady that i told you about shanna friend one finger one finger oh thank you okay so she put these together and if you know the high school diploma no the gd you can see the titles and she created them for adults she massaged it a bit the even if i go down to my kindergarten materials i might change a photo i might not it's not that there's not bouncing rabbits things like that okay so that's just what's being determined for us we should go live okay so now we're live and i can then go back to zoom and we will share that nope did it wrong sorry this one and go to share screen and go to that one okay okay so we're going to go to the subjects section and we're going to go down through these okay so we're in the i'm sorry this is kind of in your way but i can then scroll up okay here's your high school equivalency and then cte is just just starting these are really good courses though this anatomy and physiology i took it to one of the teachers and she's a critical lady she was looking for certain lessons that are too hard to find it in textbooks and they were there she said this is good so um and we have cte health and science cosmetology i took from the nails and things like that and hair and so the science ones are there it's not going to be complete but it's something to start with and the career and technical education topics was me trying to convince my district that even if you're automotive there's something there so i just was looking for topics okay esl we are just starting basic grammar and intermediate grammar i do not teach esl they said it's a little high it would be okay for intermediate but too high for beginner i need somebody to make people enforce for grammar okay guys and think about wouldn't this be a good place to put your uh ill civics things okay um the employment line that was created by super gear so isn't there an ill civics like hope collaborative that's a yeah but they're working they're working through otan and trying right trying to get that through yes the one thing i did see that i was missing like for the core subjects for high school diploma they don't seem to have intro to literature world literature american literature and written literature okay so what you're going to do is you're going to go back up the search you're going to write it up there and you're going to go to community because they started with stem right but there's a whole lot of districts that saw that lack and there's good ones when i did the the grammar courses i was getting grammar all over the places this chapter from this textbook this one this one this one amazing stuff that's there that people have created i mean there's probably a thousand entries that are there so you can find it these are good your mouth and silence that already sold me and the history looked pretty good too so yeah and this is going to be a long haul but when we get it done it's going to be so good for all of our students and our teachers as well and it will be good to know that we're helping people around the world it will be good all right so these are the lms's that it integrates with the testimonials for us so you know these people and they're wonderful i would play them for you but you wouldn't hear them so i can't okay now more things they have available for you remember we are scrolling down the adult education site that's where we were that's where we started and subjects they know that you're going to need help this they have a youtube channel these are three to five minutes long on many topics they just picked three that they thought you might need help with finding a flex book insights into flex books and how to assign them then they ask you are you an educator or are you a student now if i click on that i am an educator they're going to talk about giving you a tour choosing the subject these are the kinds of things that they help you with the charts for knowing your students and knowing their levels knowing individual students and what individual students are doing and then for the student so this isn't just a teacher the student has all this help flexi which is a little chiplet that that is in the lower left hand side they can ask questions and get the help and he'll pop up and give them assistance as they need to and just this last year they made flexi also listen to teachers so you can ask things that you may not know how to do oh i hit something okay ask flexi your science and math questions all right let's see okay so if we're a student what you're going to see but now what time are you done it's three forty three forty okay i'll be five more minutes of this and then we're going to go live and just well we are like i'm not talking about all right so here they're talking about how flexi can help you and help the student um assisting with the learning answering questions checking for understanding they've got a teacher right there with them and that's the thing is that imagine that you create flexbooks for the same subject but at different levels different kinds of problems specifically for different groups of students that sometimes you haven't been able to help helps with assignments that you and helps the student get unstuck and great even guys they're learning journal remind them of things they didn't do even self-reflection it's like all right now let's go back up here and let's go to let's go to oh no i need to show you my journey okay i don't have the slides we'll try one more time and then see if we can do the sprites so that i can show you how how you're going to customize because that was your question about how do we learn all right so let's go to our point we're going to there i'm sure why we're having that's okay now let me scroll past okay so here is a assistant for the kinds of things that they will to show you for your students but they also give you insights and recommendations only three out of nine students who turned in this assignment have reached the adaptive adaptive practice goal of answering 10 questions correctly and those are the students that didn't get it done and here the four top questions that the students missed were these four questions and we suggest you do this very cool and these are the students that last with my colors and that you should move on and this is where you should move them okay very cool heat maps showing you which students having troubles so you can direct your teaching they even found that there some people were confused by all these things they had so they created this help button and teach you how to read the reports and what each of the modalities mean so they they're trying very hard to get you to know what's going on um this is the flex books and how the flex flexlets sorry flexlets how they work preparing for a new school year or review students review the lessons including the interactive in videos to adapt to practice and we'll be able to do all the evening meeting problems practice skills and the gaps along the way that each flexlet has 20 to 30 lessons and they anticipate 45 minutes for us so they're created kind of in a whole package math ones and science ones okay class code so students don't even have to have an account you can just give them the code and it'll go there now if they have an account then we're going to be able to set up the class and that kind of stuff if you want to have the class here this was the flexlet or the uh this is flexi and this is questions for the kids the students here's ones for the teacher this is what they got busy with this last summer i'm always amazed if you go through the geometry lesson if you if their word is bolded then if you hover it gives you the definition but now they've added some of these that will pop up if it's a concept and they want to show it to you right there in the textbook so the thing i like is that ck12 is always busy trying to improve it and when we sent in things that we thought that they might be good to do they do it so they're very responsive very nice okay this was my search i needed a math book so i picked the math book remember we saw this here you choose it the things that you can choose um i want to customize okay so the very least you can do is you can put your name in this this is this is jensen math class or this is balton park adult schools basic skills math class and you can change the image remember that you're going basic just picks a day so that there's not any conflict of that okay now this screen is important because this is a confusion that happens these where it says introduction and integers those are chapters the only thing you can edit with the chapter is the name some of the background that a teacher would be interested in wanting to know references things like that you got from maybe um deleting it or moving it so you're going to think when you click on that that you can't do what i tell you you can't do but what you want to do is you want to click on that arrow and then it opens up the lessons the lessons are 2.1 2.2 2.3 and they go on that's where the magic is where you can do the editing and so over here at 2 if you go to the skinny snowman you can see update preview update edit rename and move to there's another one that's delete um now this one's a new one i have you won't see it all the time but what it means is that they got gone back to the science course that you based yours on and there's an update they discovered a new planet Pluto's no longer a planet except you want to change and so they're telling you there is updates for this and they're going to ask you do you want to update now if you've modified the book the flex book you might say no but you could preview it you could preview it and figure out what they did change okay but that's cool because that kind of keeps you feeling like the books are going to stay up with me that's good all right so let's keep going all right so this is the rich text editor and this is this is the amazing thing these are all the things that you can do you can edit the text you can color it you can change the format you can add emoticons you can insert embed images media even interactive and you can just see and you can start a flex book from scratch that has nothing that you are starting from the beginning you can start from things you find and so this is the way you customize now we have a school district they got excited and they got enough people interested in the adult school to be able to want to start having their teachers create some of these and so now they're inviting us okay and to go down there for a three-day three hour presentation where we work individually with people so that they can get the help of doing that and you can do it right we need 10 people they opened it up to their consortium so that they'd be sure to and so that's going to happen and you can too when you've done everything be sure you save it which school district or that you're going to do it do you know that it's okay if you don't know it's simple work i think it's satisfied let's just get her we're going to have our consortium yeah and i'll come out here at the end of the day that'll be fun i'll come up to you okay how to create a class this is how you read sign the work you can share the link you can create a class or you can use the lms i use the lms it was google so they asked me connect to google classroom they opened up mine and i had a variety so i had to pick the one that was the course i wanted to go into now if you have a google classroom you'll recognize the next screen it's put in classwork then you move it down to where it belongs this is the students second new here's the icon they open it up they do the work and there's the answers because that's what they got right right in the grade book isn't that the coolest when it pops into your the google classroom do you as a teacher read before you assign it if you have that edit option okay before yeah so you edit everything you want to do so it's all done on ck 12 bring it into our right whatever you want to change in the in that and then you bring it in here but remember when you put it in google classroom you have options of how you want it to present and you still have those hosé adorno said can we limit sharing of the flexbook to calling for the agency i know that some of the flexbooks are not it's not like you make a flexbook in its public that does not happen and that's the only thing i can say okay um it would seem to me if you want to share with a college all you do is take the url and send it to all of them so um and they could take it and edit it remember that every time there's a change made you get a new url i can't imagine how big it's gonna be with all the url but so um the question of can two people work on the same time is an interesting question and we can ask them to have to do a collaboration yeah that that that would be interesting to see okay so okay we talked about insights and all the cool things now remember i told you about shanna friend who did these things up in washington no i didn't tell you two things one she thought her adults needed a little bit help on using online we don't know how to use online and so she created a series of little three minute videos you can have them anything that's here you can add to your course okay so those are here but she went back and she did some additional changes and so this is what this means this means there's a community contributed and now there's a new version available if you want to go with it wearing the check okay so we're going to go live again and then you're going to guide me where you want to go but i want you to remember the community partners um the high school programs and some of these districts have created literature programs that have the grammar the literature the writing all all together and they're amazing i was looking for things low enough for an ESL course but i'm looking at it going you know so there's um you can become a certified educator okay it's a series of 10 lessons that they work with and they're the same things you're going to want to learn to be able to use it so you can do that um you can differentiate assignments okay by adding the um content so that you can do it that way but you could also have different courses that because you could make a duplicate course and then you could just modify take things out add things maybe add some lower level okay they also have webinars that are available and they are working on the updates in the spanish all right this is how i feel about these lessons they're so magical and so much fun um and they empower your students and i i always wanted to try and be able to get my school district excited like i was excited and sometimes that takes a little a little bit okay so now let's go live again and what do you want to look at you have something you would like to see that you would like to see subjects work quick uh and let's see um so i apparently teach this they always there's no spanish class right no oh i don't know i don't know okay yeah that's just so well they said they were meant working on creating actual spanish spanish courses so i was curious um we can go back to this okay here they are what do you need it looks like they've been working on math looks like they've been working on uh it's okay let's see arithmetic all right more it looks like they're focusing on that let's find us something isn't it cool we can already use for the if you guys don't understand it would be nice to know that you could give it to them in spanish that's right let's just just for kick some giggles i'm going to see if i have others i think i hit something it looks like okay i'll open up one and so again it's the same kind of thing you'd come here right to see the lessons these are the lessons okay all right now so ozay adrano asked can this be used to collect all your external resources like the ones you use for oer's is there any copyright issues that you have found from the additions made excellent question on both counts there are teachers that have put all their stuff in here okay and when you go to kondriana you contribute it and you you can you can scroll down through some of them they must have used this for a pd day and this was their agenda or okay so they can use it in a variety of ways the copyright issue is a little good one because it's still valid you're still held if you put in stuff from your from burlington or ventura adventures or something like that you've got a copyright issue does ck 12 come after you they may not or may see it but it's illegal and they don't want you to do it and so you're still help you still need to do that okay but else did you want to look at so let's look at uh yeah i mean i'll get three i don't know which one do i look at well this ratio okay and sometimes you just look at it this is the base then i'm going to add all the stuff i want to add and sometimes it's an issue of turning it around but for me math is taught in a certain order and so that's what i had to do with the orders of things foundations emergency and collapses of classical empires persia we'll see learning objectives the rise i think it needs more pictures oh they're going to think from conic academy oh that's right conic academy is going into history hasn't it interesting that would be interesting to find out what they've done okay well there's your video from con then there's your discussion questions your sources and i'm trying to see if there's a quiz i'm not seeing so history okay something you can start with maybe if you use those i'm sorry i'm just looking at that have it the green boxes yeah so now i think i like it and that goes into the uh goes in adornal also said just to clarify the translations are the exact copies and layout of their english counterpart it's a good question and i'm not positive i would imagine so but i i've not checked that okay so i can't say i don't know would you like to assign it now let's take a look at plexus at first because i don't teach science directly i didn't see the application but then when i saw that it was about simple interest i said okay i got that i can apply that to my adults order of operation common denominators okay so yeah there there was application for me here and then if i that's arithmetic if i go to life science photosynthesis so there there were things i could see it i could see places that i would use it okay what else do you want to look at my lunch or school for i hope i say that um we first recently went for a high school coolancy prep course at our college and um it does such on all subjects which sometimes can be a little difficult um it is also a hybrid color so there is stuff that is assigned and i could see this as the resource for some of instructors of course they're refused that's right that it's a little different so they can use this so i do see that it's helpful especially when you're teaching the different levels right because you have the matter levels can be on themselves yeah it's been very helpful yes that's what i found i found that ck12 is good it was helpful in my class i enjoyed working on it and um i like the responsiveness of the company they've been around since 2007 um i don't know if you will but i do know that this is helpful for each of you so so that's what i hope it will be helpful to um if there's nothing else that i can show you um if you want to try and reach me i would be more than happy to help let's see stop the share and let's go back my contact information is here through scoey scoey is the sacramental county office of education that's what otan is under so you will show this great so it's bigger oh yes i did not do that so they can't see it ah yes yes yes thank you for keeping me honest okay and also answering the questions uh okay adora wanted to say thank you for answering this question i hope that this will be helpful i have been in other groups and they get excited and they take you back and this is just a starting little fires and and that's a good thing um ck12 is extremely responsive so if you have questions you can contact them as well um they're excited this presentation is here um so if if you want to have some slides they're here if you want to learn more just call melinda you see catch 10 people will come to you um and we'll walk everybody to her get to the count find something you got 15 minutes find something okay now let's put it into a flex book okay now you've got it now how are we going to customize it


Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill. Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Boys and girls, what would you do if a king cobra got out of its cage and escaped and you were responsible? How would you go about capturing this deadly reptile? A bite from whose fangs mean sure death, more deadly than the Ferdy Lance or the Bushmaster of South America? A king cobra has enough poison in one injection of venom to kill 500 men. Listen for the story as Bill and his Rangers go looking for 12 feet of danger. Our story opens as Paul Pearson, young son of Thad Pearson, director of the Logan County Zoological Gardens, amuses himself by playing idly with a baby boa constrictor. He watches fascinated as the writhing creature slithers across the floor of the snake house. Just as the door opens, George Hill, a long-time headkeeper of the zoo, enters. Good morning, Paul. Good morning, George. I see you're playing with the baby boa again. You'd better be careful, son. That fella's going to gain strength pretty fast in the next couple of months. I'll watch him. If I feel he's getting too strong for me, I'll quit playing with him. Well, I don't like you to play with snakes at all. Someday you might make a mistake, and it would be too late. Oh, I'll be all right. Besides, Dad says it's all right as long as I don't go near the dangerous ones. I know what your Dad said, but you know how I got this crippled left hand of mine. Sure. You got it from snake bites. Four of them. That's right. It's only by the Lord's power that I ever pulled through.   All right, George, but I'd like to help feed them if you let me. When you get a little older, son, I can't take any chances now. I'll be too late after you got bit. Hey, son. Back so soon from the snake house? Yeah, Dad. What's the matter, Paul? You're acting rather down in the mouth. Oh, nothing. George says that baby boy is going to be too strong for me to play with pretty soon. That's right, Paul. That... what's bothering you? No, not exactly. Uh-huh. Something is bothering you, son. Come on out with it. Oh, it's nothing really. Honest. Oh, come on now, Paul. We've talked over lots of problems before and ironed them out, haven't we? Uh, let's forget it, huh, Dad? I don't want to complain. It's nothing really. I see. Well, the first opportunity I have, I'll talk to George about letting you in the snake house. How do you know, Dad? Oh, just a dad's understanding, I guess. I was a boy once, you know. Yeah. Well, thanks. Just one thing, Paul. Yeah? Remember, George has big responsibilities and he takes pride in seeing that they're well taken care of. Stay away from the poisonous snakes. They're dangerous. Morning, George. Good morning. Got to clean this cage out. This monkey would stay away from the broom. Hello there, Pedro. How's the chief snake keeper's helper this morning? He's a lot of help.  I guess that's what monkeys are made for, eh, Pedro? Dear Pedro, don't take on sores. Stop that racket. What's the matter with him, George?  Look, the King Cobra's out. No, it can't be. The cage is locked. Turn around and look, man. That isn't a hose crawling out of that cage door. Oh, we've got to stop him. Twelve long feet of danger slithers slowly out of its cage. King Cobra, deadliest of all poisonous reptiles. Quick as greased lightning, cunning as a fox and ruthless. For a frightening moment, the two men stand paralyzed with awe as the killer moves soundlessly out of the cage onto the service floor. Suddenly, the director springs into action. George, throw the door locks. Make sure nobody's in the building. Run away, Steve. The sticks are behind the door. Get out of here, Pedro, before you get killed. It seems here the sticks hold. Now, Mr. Cobra, we'll see if we can't talk you into going back into your cage. The building's locked, Dad. I've got a shotgun here. That's fine. Stand back on me, George. I'll need plenty of room to maneuver this character. Let me take the risk, Dad. It's my responsibility. You just stand ready with a shotgun. If the snake gets me, then it's your job to kill him. Okay, Chief. He's all yours. I don't want to lose him unless it's absolutely necessary. He's a valuable specimen. Watch him, Chief. He sees you now. I'm watching him, and he is watching me. I'm going to try to get this loop around his neck before he hoods. Maybe you'll be able to get him before he suspects a scrap. This is eating day. He's fed. He should be rather lazy. Just raise your head up now, big boy, and don't hug. I'll order your gooses cooked. Now, Dad, he isn't hooding. I've got him, George. Good work, Dad. Get a hold on his body and we'll put him into the cage before I choke him to death. Right. Have you got him all in? Yes, all 12 feet. Wedge his body down with a pole so I can take the loop off his neck. Okay, I got him. Take the loop off now. There. Release the pole and we'll slam the cage door. No! We were very fortunate this time. That fell us fast. Half a second more need to pile right out of here again. You said it that. We better go round and look at him through the glass and see if we hurt him, huh? All right. And then I want to find out how that cage door got unlocked. I guess he didn't hurt himself. He seems to be all right. Yes, he's all right, George. You'd better put some sedative in his water supply to cool him down. It isn't good for him to get too excited. Okay, I'll do that, Dad. Now, one question. How'd that door get unlocked, George? Dad, I don't know. It beats me. I always check the cages carefully. You know that. George, I'm not questioning your integrity. Anybody can make a mistake. I make more of them than anybody else does. But this, well, it's frightful. Just be careful, George. Do you hear? Dad, I know you think I did it. But there were others in the snake house beside me this morning. Others? Who, for instance? Well, Paul. Are you intimating that Paul left the Cobra's cage door open? I don't know that, but, well, I just worry about the boys making a mistake. That's all. I'm very fond of the boy. What's him grow up from a baby to a fine lad? But I don't think he should be in the snake house, at least alone. Well, I think I'm a better judge of that than you, George. He's becoming quite a herpetologist. He won't make any mistakes, I'm sure. Anyway, I've given him a specific instruction to stay away from the poisonous reptiles. Dad, I don't like having anybody in the snake house, even Paul. That is, before and after visiting ours. Well, now, let's not argue about it, George. Just be sure you give the Cobra a sedative. I'll see you later. Paul. Paul. What are you doing in the snake house? I thought I told you I didn't want anybody in here before I arrived in the morning. My dad says I can come here. I just wanted to exercise my black snake. You're not going to exercise any snakes until after I get here. And I don't intend to get up at four o'clock just so I can be here before you. I suppose you know all about what happened yesterday. Yeah, my dad told me. Boy, what a close call that was. Sure must have been some job to put that cobra back into its cage, huh? It wasn't easy. We had to rattle him around a bit. I should say, twelve feet is a lot of snake to handle. Well, I've got work to do. I can't stand here and talk all morning. Okay, George. I'll put the black snake in its cage in a little while. You remember what I said about coming in here before I do, isn't it? Paul, come here! What's the matter, George? Pleasant is the matter. How did these cages get unlocked? Three of them. Three cages unlocked? How'd that happen? That's what I'm asking you, Paul. Did you unlock these cages? Of course not, George. I didn't. I'd tell you if I did. Well, if you didn't, alright. Just the same, I don't want you in here before I get here in the morning and that's an order, do you understand? Sure, George. If that's the way you want it, I'll put the black snake back and leave right now. Hey, look, Bill. Here's a king cobra. The card says he's 12 feet long. That's a lot of snake, isn't it, pal? Oh, I'll say it is. Hey, look how he moves. Very little effort, too. Boy, what a smooth operation. Yeah, it sure is. You know, the only critter that isn't afraid of a cobra is man geese. Man geese? The animals call him man goose, Stumpy. Stumpy talk about more than one. Maybe he'd think they come in flocks like an Indian geese. Okay, so one of them critters is called a man goose. When you're talking about a whole bunch, you're calling me they're man goose or man geese. Now, which one of them words do you... Oh, Stumpy, are you murdering the kings, English? Take it easy, fellas. Stumpy, the plural for man goose is man goose. Don't let these fellas... Bill, look at the cobra. Look at him. Great Scott. He's getting out of the cage. Henry, find the keeper. Stumpy, Grey Wolf, start hurting the people out of the building through the other door and keep them quiet. I'll guard the service alley so the snake can't get out. We get people out plenty quick. Don't take any chances of that near-killers, honey.  Bill, Henry tells me the cobra's out again. Is that right? Take a look, George. Yes, it's the cobra all right and he's hooding. That means he's feeling ornery. I'll sound the alarm and get some help. The escape alarm. It's the snake house. How is this, John? Grab shotguns and let's go. You think the cobra's out again, Fred? Oh, I don't know, Howie. Let's get in the car, boys. You get there as fast as we can. George, I wonder how many more times we'll have to put Mr. King Cobra back into his cage. I certainly hope this is the last escape he makes, Chief. Yeah, me too. That's for sure. It had better be. I know what you mean, Thad. But I did not leave those doors open. Moreover, Paul was here before I was here this morning, again, after I'd forbidden him. I found three cages unlocked and I told Paul I didn't want him in the snake house anymore unless I'm here. It's your duty and responsibility to see that the cages are all checked and locked before visitors are allowed in the building. Isn't that right? Well, I did that, Thad. I always make a security check before opening my doors to visitors. And when I made my routine check this morning, the cages were all locked. And I'll verify before anyone that I'm telling the truth. All right, George, let's not argue about it. But there's something mighty peculiar going on around here. I wish I could put my finger on what it is. Bill, Henry, Stumpy, Graywald. Let's go over to my office. I want to have a talk with you, fellows. Well, it's the next morning now. And George, the keeper of the snake house, walks briskly to get about his early morning chores of caring for the reptiles. George seems to be in a happier frame of mind than he's been for several days. And he hums as he walks up the short stairs to the main doors of the building. He finds the door locked and calculates himself that Paul is at last listening to reason. He takes out his keys, selects the right one, fits it into the lock, and opens the door. Suddenly, he stops short. Oh, the cobra's loose. He jumps back to escape the cobra. His feet stumble and he falls while the cobra moves rapidly by. There on the concrete steps of the snake house, George lies for a moment stunned while the cobra with hardly an effort makes his getaway. The slithering ribbon of death moves out of the building across the road and vanishes into the underbrush. Then George rouses from his unconsciousness seeking to pierce the mental fog. Oh, my head. Oh, the cobra. The door's over. The cobra's gone. Hello, gate one. This is gate one, chief. We're closing the gates now. Good. Break out your rifles and stand by. The alarm means that whatever's escaped is now out of the building and onto the grounds. Don't let anybody in. Gate two. This is that person. Do you get that alarm? Yeah, chief. We've got the gates locked and the rifles broken off. Good. I'm going to the snake house. Holly, call the rangers and the sheriff's men. If that cobra's escaped out of the building, we're going to need help. How's the head feeling now, George? I'm out of tender where I struck it on the stair rail, Bill. That concrete's awfully hard. Yeah, I can imagine. You better stay here while we track the snake. Uh, Thad, how much of a start does the cobra have on us? Oh, about an hour and a half, Bill. That's a good... It could get plenty far by this time, especially if he kept in high gear. How about a mongoose, Thad? Do you have any here? No, Bill, we don't have a mongoose. The Zoo at Silver City has one, though. That's 50 miles. Thad, would you take my car and get that mongoose? All right, Bill. I'll make it as quickly as I can. Well, this thing gives me a creep spill. Any second I expect to see the cobra's head pop up under my nose. That could happen that way, pal.  Snake leaves plenty good trail in ground. It could, for us, there not be rain for many days now. Dust helps make snake trail easy to find. That's it! Cobra fella weren't much interested in covering his trail. All he cared about was getting for the far away places. That's right, old timer. I'd say offhand that the far away place could be that barn over on the other side of the road. Yeah, I think you're right, Bill. The trail's heading straight for the road. Yep. Sure as I'm a foot high, that deer wrapped tiles in that barn.  No, Gray Wolf. Let's let the mongoose do that trick. We wouldn't stand a chance against that killer if he caught us off-guard. But a mongoose isn't made for that kind of work. You said it, sonny. Only one thing faster than a cobra and that's a mongoose. Only one thing faster than a mongoose and that's grease lightning. You fellas keep circling the barn to make sure the cobra stays in sign. I'll send the sheriff and his boys over to help you keep him in the barn. Where are you going, Bill? Back to the snake house to make sure everything's all right.  No, I haven't, Jordan. Talk to the man, Pedro. He's quite a guy, isn't he? How are you feeling after your fall, Jordan? Well, that gooseache on my head's gone down to a pigeon size, but now I'll be all right. Good. Well, I've got to be getting back now. I've got the cobra trapped in an old barn on the other side of the highway. Uh, better way, George. See that the locks and all the doors are set, will ya? For a while, I don't think it's enough just to have the latch on. Okay, Bill. We'll do. See you later, George. Hello, Paul. Your dad back yet? He just drove up, Bill. Here he comes now. He's got the mongoose in a cage. We're all set, Bill. All we've got to do now is get on the scene and open the cage. The mongoose will do the rest. Fine. I'll have the squad cars brought up so their spotlights can be used to light up the inside of the barn. Good idea.  I just want him to tire him out. Then we'll step in and stop the fight. I've got the equipment for it with me. Okay. I'll get the cars in position. Then we can get started. Periodly, the way is prepared for the duel between two mortal enemies, King Cobra and mongoose. Bill turns the spotlight on to illuminate the inside of the barn by beaming the lights through the large center door. Then Thad and Bill walk toward the barn. Thad is ready to release the mongoose in an instant. Bill's ready with his shotgun in case the cobra attacks before they're ready. The mongoose becomes frantic with excitement. He's got scent of the cobra, Bill. Good. Let him go, Thad. Look at him go for the barn. Hey, stop dead. No wonder. Look where that big snake is, just inside the door. Boy, it's a good thing we didn't try to go in after him. They've nailed one of us for sure. Look, the battle's on. This'll be short. The cobra's on unfamiliar ground. He can't put up a good fight. Did you see that? The cobra missed a little animal only by a fraction of an inch. That's the way he fights. Close range, your hair's breadth of distance. Boy, with perfect coordination. Wow! The mongoose raked the cobra's neck that time with his teeth. Boy, how that little fella can weave and dodge. Back and forth. Back and forth. He's there. He's teasing the snake. The cobra got him. No, he didn't. He just missed the mongoose by a hair again. The cobra's getting woozy, Bill. He must have struck at the mongoose about two dozen times by now. I'll get him when you give the word, Thad. My main concern is that the mongoose doesn't close in for the fatal bite. You mean where he grabs the snake by the back of the head and breaks the cobra's neck? That's it, Henry. He's in now, Thad. Snake's getting pretty tired. Yes. Let's take both of them. Now. Watch it. Take it easy. Watch it. Watch it. There we go. Come on. Come on. There we go. There we go. There we are. There we are. There we go. We've got both of them caged and ready to go back. Thanks to you, Bill. The Stumpy Gray Wolf and Henry. That's all right, Thad. Would you be interested in finding out who's been unlocking the cages in the snake house? Would I be interested? I should say so. Who is it? Yeah. Who is it? Well, I'd rather it was demonstrated to you. Just who it is than tell you. Let's all go over to the snake house, shall we? Quiet, Pedro. George, let me have your keys, will you? I want to try and experiment. Sure, Bill. Here you are. Now, how in the world is he going to show who let the caged doors open? Well, quiet, Stumpy. Let Bill finish what he started. What are you going to do now, Bill? Yeah, that's a good question. My curiosity is sticking out a mile. Okay, Pedro. You can go along if you want. Now, fellas, just watch as I go along and check the locks on the caged doors. Uh-oh, there's one on the bottom I didn't check. Hey, Bill, look above you. Pedro's opening the caged door.  Pedro. But how in the world did you discover that, Bill? Well, Thad, in watching George opening the cages, I noticed each time how intently interested Pedro was and the way George was handling the latches on the doors. Of course, we all know that disconcerting habit monkeys have in mimicking human beings. So I got an idea and thought I'd test it out. And as you see, it worked. Well, that throws me for a loop. George, well, please accept my sincere apologies for ever questioning your integrity. Oh, that's all right, Chief. You're not the only one at fault. Paul. Yeah? I want to tell you how sorry I am for misjudging you. Will you forgive a crabby old man like me? Oh, it's there. There, lad. Hey, look, we're hugging each other. I guess this thing had us all on attention. But thanks to you, Bill, and to your rangers, the mess has straightened out. Ah, that's all in the day's work, Thad. By the way, what are you going to do with Pedro? Now that his monkey shines have been exposed. Maybe we'd better put him over on Monkey Island and retire him for the rest of his natural life. Hey, Thad, just think what would have happened if he'd opened the cages in the lion house. That's right, Paul. Only I don't know that a cobra is any less dangerous than a lion. But at least he's not so loud. However, I'm sure glad that neither George or Paul were guilty of opening up those cage doors, aren't you? We'll see you next week for more adventure with... Ranger!
