OTAM, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Great, so welcome to this training on ThingLink. So ThingLink is, I'm going to show you in a minute, it's an image tagging program, so you can actually tag and embed activities inside an image, which is really good for ESL students. So in this workshop, we're going to learn how to log on to ThingLink. We're going to explore a sample ThingLink. We will create a ThingLink with an image, Google Form, Google Doc, and Quizlet Stack, which I have already prepared for you. We will explore the 360 image library. It also has a lot of 360 images. It is free. If you want to pay for it, you can get student management so that students can actually make their own ThingLink, but for you as a teacher, it's free. However, I just want you to know, I've made Google Docs and Google Forms and Quizlets I won't be teaching you how to do that today. That would be another whole workshop, but you will be able to embed them into a Quizlet. So with that, let me tell you just a little bit about me. I am a retired professor of ESL from Santa Ana College, and I have loved using technology since before some of you were born, probably. And I have always tried to integrate with my students, and I have been very successful at that. And now I'm helping teachers learn how to integrate as well. So if you're interested in my PowerPoint, I am going to put it in the chat box for you. It's a very easy one. It is bit that's right on the bottom underneath my picture. Bit.ly, but I'm going to put it here. Thing power. Susan, I got it for you. Oh, thank you. Perfect. Okay. So this is what a thing when it looks like. And these numbers here, this is an image that I downloaded. And these numbers here indicate that there's an activity. So let's go to there. And let's take a look at this one. So here it is. This is on my thing like account. So I have if I click and I use numbers because the students, it's really easy for them to follow up numbers. I have a bunch of other tags that you can use, but for low beginning ESL, they know to click on number one. So that works. So I number one here and make sure there's no audio on here, but there is music. So let me make sure that I have enabled your sound. Where is that link for the sound. In the more options. Okay. So here we go. All right. So I'm just going to let you see this. It's a very short video. It's the basis of the lesson for the students. And I have put a lot of thought into this lesson before I created the thing link. And that's why you're going to, it does require that you think what you want the students to get out of the lesson. This is a, I figured that bike safety was good since we're in COVID. A lot of people have taken to riding their bikes as for exercise. So I thought one on bike safety would be fun. What is the video. So the students would do number one and then number two would be a form where they list three things they saw in the video. So for ESL students, I mean, even ABE or high school students, you know, they could watch the video and they could talk about three things they saw. And then they would. So let's just say I saw a break helmet. And then you hit submit. And that goes to me. And so that would be the activity. Number three, I'm going to show you how to do all this. I'm just showing you how it works to get the whole picture. And then we're going to go into the detail of how to do this. And number three, I have a Quizlet stack with the vocabulary. And they can choose their own study mode matches the most fun. But so here they just have to find air pump. Okay. No, that's not an air pump. Okay. Let's try this one. Objects on the roadway bike lights right here. Like that's a break. I should know better. There we go. Breaks. Air pump. Keep distance from cars for the rest of that. And they can. They can write down their time here. They took only 23.5 seconds. Generally, students can do better than that. So that's number one, number two, that was number three, the Quizlet stack. Number four, this is a reading that I made. So that they can do a little, it's just a PDF where all this vocabulary is here about biking. And then number five is a form where they answer questions about the reading as a reflection form. So that's the lesson that I have created to show you what thing link can do. So what we're going to start out with is we're going to recreate this lesson with all the different pieces, which I've assembled for you to put it. So the first thing we're going to want you to do, and I'm going to go really slow here is you're going to go to thinglink.com and get, get an account. Now, how many of you already have a thing link account? Anybody. So thinglink.com. And you will see this screen when you log on. Let me know when you see the screen. You can give me a reaction like a thumbs up or thumbs down. If you need me to go slower. Are you on the screen, everybody? Okay, so you have some choices on how to log on. What you want to do though is right here. It's asking you for your, if you're already a member, which you are not. So you have to go here and not registered sign up for free. And it's kind of under here. You have to see that. Does everybody see that screen? Okay. Okay, good. And you can use any of these. If you have a Microsoft account, you can sign in with that. You just have to click the Microsoft button. If you have a Google account, you can sign in with Google. I always sign in with my Google account because I don't have to remember another password. I don't know what clever is, but it's you can sign in with clever. Facebook, you can sign in with Facebook, Twitter, and you can also sign with your Twitter. So that's the easy way. So let me know with a thumbs up or a yes in the chat button when you are logged in and have an account. Oh, I don't know if I'm doing this. Who is that? And I will help you. If anyone needs help, they're more than welcome to unmute. And ask for help and ask. Right. We're here to help. But just let me know when you actually get your account. So that we can move on. I missed that. How, where to go to start to set up the account. Okay. Right down here. Do you see my screen? Yes. Okay. Right down at the bottom where it says sign up for free. Okay. Click on that. Yeah. And then you should have a choice of using. Oh, okay. Good. Cause I don't have that option because I have an account. Right. But it's not, I'm trying, how do I get to that page? Cause it's not clickable on your page. No, just go to thing link.com. Thing. Oh, okay. That's in the chat box. Right. Oh. Great. Yeah. Thing link.com. And then you go find that's there. Okay. So, So, Mara has a question. Is it 360 library? The same as the 360 videos curated from OTAN. No, the 360 videos are these beautifully developed 360 videos that thing link has. Got given for you guys to use for free. I didn't know that. Oh, 10 curated 360 videos. Where he is in very good. Linda, do you know anything about that? I think she's talking about the 360 app. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. This is actually a 360 video. You'll see it. You can actually play around like it. No, not learn 360. No. 360 is just, it's video. It's photos. 360 photos. I don't think it's videos. I think it's photos. Would be videos. Okay. So get people are getting in. Which is good. So far Marin's in. And. Ria's in. Anybody else getting in? Let us know. Chris says, I think I'm in. You see this, this, this page that I have here where it says upgrade account. Long as in good. Good. Okay. Yes, you're in. All right. So once you get in, I just want to show you, if you want to upgrade your account, unless you want to get your students to make their own thing links, then you would need to upgrade an account. But even if you have to do that, guess how much money it costs. $40 a year. It's very affordable. So if you really want your students to do it, you can pay the $40 a year. It used to be $200 and they fixed it. They fixed it so that people can actually. You know, if somebody is asking you to join as a team member, there would be an invite code. So they, that would be the code they would use. And you should all see this. It should be in the top right corner next to your picture. There's a help center. If you need help. There's a search box.  And we'll go over that in a minute. There are different kinds of grid types that you can see. So I'm going to go to my thing, link account now and show you how I use folders. Here's my thing, link account.  This is because I have a lot of stuff. And so I have made folders. I have my own personal learning. I have a resume. I have some. My digital resumes in there. You can do resumes with embedded content. I have travel fun where I've actually traveled and taken 360 photos and tagged them. There's a couple of things there. I have my intermediate class, AB and an ABE class that I've taught. So these are Mount Rushmore and Global Warming. And I have my low beginning class. That I've done this where wearing masks, staying safe, the interior of a car and a school tour of Santa Ana College. So that is my content. You probably have nothing in there. This is all the stuff that I have done. I have used this a lot. Okay. And then this 360 library, Marin, this is where the 360 photos are. These are all free for you to use. And you're able to tag them. And they, they don't show up very well here because they're assuming that you're using those 360 goggles, the Google Cardboards goggles. So I'm not, that's not the content for today. So I'm not going into that, but just so you can have an idea of what we have there. Okay. So we're going to start creating a content, but don't do anything yet. When you go to, let me show you, when you're in your account and you want to create something, you click over here. Does everybody see that button on their screen? Create. And then you get this. Now what's really wonderful about this is there are videos for each of these to show you what it means. And we're not going to watch the video, but if you click on image. And continue. Oh, last time I got a video. This time I didn't get a video. Let me try. Let me try one that I haven't done. Video. If the first time you click on it, it will actually give you a video and show you how to use it. So I don't want to click on this because I do want to watch that later. But when you do that, you'll see a video. We're not going to need to do that right now, but for your future, you can see a video of all these different things that you can make on thing link for free. All right. So what we're going to do now. And this has to go into the chat box. I have prepared some pictures for you. Some content for you because we are going to recreate the bicycle safety thing link that I showed you earlier. So if everybody could have two screens, one with their thing link open and one with the Google doc open. So you want to let me see if I can share my screen to show you what I want you to do. So here's my thing link. And I'm going to make this smaller. And then here's my Google doc. And I'm going to put that over here. So then I have both the thing link. And then I'm going to put that over here. And then I'm going to put that over here. And then I'm going to put that over here. Program and the Google doc open. And I have here for you. Three different images that you might want to use. Is everybody finding this document? Okay. It's saying I need access. Really? Yes, but maybe it's because I'm in the wrong Google account. No, maybe not. It should. I'm going to change it. Hold on. Okay.  I'm going to try it now. Does it work now? Yep. I'm in. Okay. Good. How about everybody else? Okay. So there are, you don't have to use the one that, the image that I used is this one down here, the six simple bike safety reminders for your family. You don't have to use that one. You can use this one for this one. It's up to you. So pick an image. And the way you want to do this is if you can't like right click on it and save it to your desktop, which is what you want to do right now. And call it whatever you want, but I really think you should try to save it on your desktop, or otherwise you're going to have trouble finding it. So here you can give it a name and you can save it right to your desktop. I'm on a Mac, of course. So let me know how you're doing. And I see you're still answering the questions. What questions are you answering? For registration. So let me know with either okay, or thumbs up or a yes when you're. Saving a picture on your desktop. Or if you have any problems getting to this document. Good. Thank you. Maria save Marin save. We'll see you until I'll wait for a few more people to give me the go ahead. Okay, Evelyn save. Good. Okay. So Sherry. What you have to do. Is you click on the image you want. Right click. And save to keep. And then you can, you'll see it. It turns up over here. And then you can save image as. And when you get to this document, you have a choice of where you want to save it. This is a map. Of course, if you're on a PC, it looks slightly different. But same idea. You want to save it. Right. Melinda. PC. It's just, are you on a PC, Melinda? I use a Mac. Okay. Well, I don't think should do it. Yeah. It should work on a PC. And then you can give it an image as. And when you get there, you have a choice of where you want to save it. And you can save it on a PC. And then you can give it a name. So on mine. I did do save to keep, but I don't have keep on my. Computer. So I went back and I did. Well, I do. It's on the cloud, right? Yes. Yeah, exactly. So I went back and I just right clicked and I did like a save image. Evelyn, the reason I do that is because on my document, I save it to the computer. I save it to the computer. I save it to the dock. It makes me go to keep. But maybe it doesn't do that to you. No, maybe it did make me save it to keep. And then I saved it to the computer. Yeah. All right. Okay. So how are we doing. Anna trying to add this. Anna, can you talk to us about what you're trying to do? Yes, I'm still unless create the best experience for you. Tell us a bit more so we can help you. It says, so I got my name. And it gives me math science for a language. And there's one on the bottom that it won't let me see it. Okay. Well, it doesn't matter. Just pick whatever you are. It doesn't matter. Oh, it doesn't. Okay. All right. So I guess just see, but I click on science and he doesn't bring it up. So I just, should I just press continue then. Yeah. Okay. And long there is no invite code. You're getting, you're using your account. You're making your own thing. Link account. So you go to create. There is no invite code. You should have your own. Did you get an account? Okay. All right. So everybody, the picture is okay. Cause now what we're going to do is we're going to click on the create button in thing length. So everybody go back to thing link. And click on the create button. And we're going to add. Click image. And when you do that, you hit continue, you're probably going to get the video because you haven't done it before. Just skip the video because I am your video. So see, here's the video, but just you want to be here. And does everybody see the upload button? I'll wait, just say yes or no. That's fine long that you use the Google account. Okay. Then you're going to click upload. Let me know if I'm going too fast. And you're going to upload. It's going to show you your desktop. Now, my desktop is really messy. I'm sorry. As you can see, I've been working hard on thing link, getting all these screenshots. But here's my bike. So I'm going to find the picture and I'm going to open it. So Susan, are we in image under create? Is that what we're under? Yeah. So you're going to create image. Okay. Thank you. And then continue. And then don't play the video. Correct. And then click on upload. Upload files. Find your picture. Open. And then when you're done, you hit continue again. Oh, I don't want to folder. Oh, it's making me make a folder. This is a new thing. Okay. This is for a thing. Link demo. So here's my picture, the new, they used to have where you could make your own folders when you wanted to, but now it's forcing you into making a folder because it's good to have your work organized. Okay. So let me know when you have your picture into thing link. And I'll start to show you what to do next. This is critical. So I want to make sure everybody's got the picture here. Sorry. So then I'm upload files now. And then where do I go after that? Just pick a picture. Okay.  Oh, I didn't go that I was not able to do that because that was still stuck on answering the questions. Okay, we'll do that first. So do you know what, where, where to get this document? No. Okay. It is in the chat, but let's find it and we put it in the chat. This is it. There you go. So I'm going to go to my desktop. I'm going to go to my desktop. You should take you to this document. And then there should be three pictures there. One's a simple bike picture. One is a same. Sorry, say that to my. Desktop. Desktop. Okay. And then you're going to go to sing link and go to create. It's helpful if you have the tabs like open like this. So you can go back and forth. Yeah, that's how I have it. Okay. Okay. Image. Continue. Upload. Upload find the file. For me, it's called bike. I open it and I hit continue and I have it. And if it says make a folder, just say thing, link demo. Okay. Everybody doing okay. Give me everybody. Give me a feedback. Some of you are. I don't know what you're doing. So I like to have feedback. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks. I like to have feedbacks without actually being in front of you. Okay. Good. Okay. Feedback coming. Good. All right. So we're going to start with our first, now we open the picture and here we have. Nothing except these, all these buttons up here. So what we're going to do is we're going to edit. This is if you want to change your privacy sentence settings. You won't worry about that. This is if you want to rename it from bike to something else. This is if you want to move it to a folder. You don't have to worry about this. This shows you how many people have landed on your image. This is if you want to clone it, clone it means to duplicate it. If you think it's bad, they don't want any X rated images. So if you find one, you can report it. You can replace the background and you can download your finished copy. So that's that we're going to edit right now. So everybody click on the pencil for edit. Are we there? Okay. So you see these three things. Add tag settings and done. Yes, that is Marin. And you can also see like one of my thing links has like million. A thousand. A thousand 500 people have muted. So yeah, it's nice to know that. So we're going to start with this ad tag. So everybody click on that. And we're going to go ahead and put it up to explain everything for you.  Present. Here we go. Oh, didn't go to the slide I wanted. So you can do a lot of different kinds of tags. The first one that says text and media. That just allows you to add text and link media. Now there is a difference between the word link and embed.  They don't have to click on anything. So I don't often use this because I like to embed everything. This will create a simple text label. Maybe you are doing like the inside of a car. You just want the students to see the names of the, of the instruments in the car. You could use text label for that. This is where we're going to focus a lot of our attention on today is adding content from a website because this allows you to embed like the Quizlet little match activity that I did. And the Google form that I did and the reading that I did. I embedded all that into the image. And so we're going to be doing a lot of that. And this last one, I'm not going to be able to show you in this workshop because it's, it's a lot, but you can actually create a virtual tour. And I did this for my students who were low beginners because they come to school and they don't know what school is like. And so I made a virtual tour for them. So you can watch the video on that. And it's pretty cool actually, but we're not able to do that today. Sorry. Why so much you can do. All right. So going back to my, to the thing length. Right here. We have these, these tabs right here. And do you remember the one that I said we're going to use is add content from website. Okay. Let me cancel this for a second. So we're going to click on add tag. Everybody's done that. And we're going to go to add content from website. Now, before we put in our content, we're going to look at the icons. Here are all the different icons you can use. I always use numbers just because it makes it easy. Like you can tell the students put a camera there and they should know it's a photo. But for me, nobody can ever follow. I always have a process that I want my students to go through where they start the lesson, they finish the lesson. And that's a process that hasn't ordered. If you have something that doesn't require an order, like you're just having them. Take a tour of a museum and you have different paintings and they can go wherever you can use different tags. But for this particular lesson, we're going to use the one, two, three, four, five tags. So if you click on number one, for example, then you can choose your color, which is nice. So you can choose any color. So go ahead and click on number one and pick a color. Has everybody, have you done that? You guys let me know. Okay, good. I'll go back. Thank you. So you click here on add tag. And you scroll down to add content from website. And here change icon. And then, I mean, you can pick anything you want. You don't have to pick one. You can pick A if you want. And then you have different colors that you can choose from. So let me know how we're doing. Everybody there. Good Evelyn. I'm still trying to get my picture uploaded. Oh, okay. Did you want me to go over that again? It's like I'm half way there. It's like, I can upload pictures to PowerPoint and Google and it's like, I don't know why this is so complicated. Here, let me just show you one more time. So you go here. Go back. I have to go back one more screen. I have to go out of here. All right. So you go to create. Yeah. Image. Yeah. In you. Okay. Upload. Okay. And then you have to click here on upload again. All right. So. Continue. Okay. And then it takes you to your hard drive. Right. Continue. And then hit. Click and drag. And then I open here. And then the really key, this is really important. So it's good that everybody's reviewing the steps. You have to click the continue button again. After you upload in order for it to work. And then it's going to ask you for a folder. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Keep hitting every time you see continue, you have to hit continue. And then you'll see it right here. And you just click on it. And then we're going to hit the edit button. And then we click. Add tag. I'm probably going too fast, but. Add content from website. And then here we can change our tag. So it's, if you look here. Okay. One more time. So you see it shows this tag right here. You can see this here. I don't want to add that tag. I want to add it from the website at the end. It's only there. But I don't want to use that tag. So I click on add. Tag from content. And here I can change my icon. Number one. And then I have my color choice. Now we're ready to embed something into our picture. So. If everybody can please go. this bicycle safety video with this very, very ugly looking code. This is the code that you want to take. You don't want to take the part that has the dash. You don't want to take this. You want to take it from here, all the way down to there. Let me know when you have done that. Oh, Mary and I number so the students know where to click. Number one is the first thing they click. Number two is the second thing they click. Because my low beginning ESL lessons have a process that the students go from. However, you could do a tour of a museum and have different artwork up there, and it wouldn't matter what the order was, then you could use anything you want. It's just my personal experience that I found the students don't do so well on their own if they're not numbered. Okay, so you just take this all the way down to the end, don't get the Google form, just the safety video, and you're going to copy edit copy this. And then we're going to go over here where it says embed code, and we're going to paste. Let me know when you've done that. Long has done it good. Put everybody up here so I can see what we're doing. Good Denise is done. Christine is done. Some of you might be lurking. That's okay. I'll wait for one or more people. Okay, Maria's done. All right, I think we're good. So you can see the videos here. And we have to click the done button now. So click done. And here's your number one and you can put it anywhere you want. And when you click on it, it's going to bring up the video which you can just hit play. So that's how we so now you have embedded a video into your picture. So we're going to end the second thing on the we're going to embed is the Google form where they watch the video and then they talk about three things they saw in the in the video. So we're going to add another tag. So we're going to go over here. We're going to go the same one at content from website. And we're going to go back to the Google Doc. And here I have the embed code for you for the Google form. So please copy that and go back to your thing. We can paste that it and tell me if it's working. Because I've made all these for you because for you to make all this stuff and learn thing link was too much. So I've made all the forms and stuff just so you can have the experience and then the idea would be to change it on your own. Now here's the icon. I have to change that to number two. And you can I like to use different colors. I think colors are good. So here's my number two and I can put that anywhere I want. So now you have embedded a video and you have embedded a form. Correct. Now the third thing we're going to embed is reading that I'm the reading I made. So again, we're going to add the tag. We should be able to go a little faster now. Add the content. It's going to be number three. This one's white. And I'm going to go over here to the Google Doc reading and copy the embed code and paste it in. And here's my reading. Click done. Move the number three somewhere. So I think I'll put the number two on his head. And the number three on his head. So how are we doing everybody's? Yeah, I show you on what everybody every app has a way to embed. It's usually in your share settings. I'll show you how to do it. But that's not the, you know, I will show you. I think we'll have time for that. So okay, so let's do number four, which is going to be the writing assessment. Google form writing and assessment is actually a reflection form. So let's go down. Let's get the content number four. I'm going to do blue, which is going to be tough because there's a lot of blue on that. Okay, copy the code for the Google writing. And there we go. Done. Or we'll put over here. Oh, that's good. Stop. All right. And then we are ready for one more tag. We have okay, I didn't show you this. Actually, this bike, bike safety quiz is from Illinois and they allowed us to have it in English and Spanish. So I put that as bonus. And let me show you where I put that on my original, because I forgot to show you this. So my bonus material is down over here where the star is. It's the bike safety quiz. This is the Spanish one. But the only problem with it is, is it's about bike safety in Illinois. And I asked the guy when he gave it to me, because he gave me permission to use it, if I could change it to California, and he said it costs $500. So I said, Nope, we'll just keep it Illinois. It's got most of the same things. There are just a couple of different rules in Illinois that is not in California. So if anybody's out there from Illinois, it's great. It'll work for you. Okay, so we have did everybody get all five embed codes in there into your document? Okay. So there's one more thing to look at. And this is your settings outside your so these are these tags are for each item in your in your graphic. The settings do the overall graphic, the whole thing. So you have different choices in the settings here. You can customize your tag. Like you can have different kinds of tags here looking differently. So you can customize the background. If you know your numbers, your hex code numbers, you can change it to almost anything. You can disable you see how this number two is getting big, and it like bounces around. That's your animation. And you're able to do if you think that's going to for some students who have learning disabilities, that might be hard for them to see that kind of animation. So you're able to disable it just so you know. And you can hide the thing link logo, which shows up somewhere. I usually have it see their thing link. I always hide that because I don't want people to see that necessarily. So you can hide that. So when you're and then there's more hold on. So now if you wanted to have some relaxing music, while the students work on this assignment, you can upload any audio you want. I don't usually do that because I find that sometimes the music annoys people. But if you found something relaxing, you could put body of why the students are working on the image, they can hear the music. Any questions so far? Looking at the chat box. I'm looking at the pictures. I don't see anybody with questions. Yes, Evelyn, you can add your voice. You have to record yourself and then upload it to the thing link. And I have done that before, where you can actually tell the students what you want them to do. And they can hear it over and over again. That's the only thing. You can also upload your voice into this. You can add content from the website. Okay, so let me show you how you get embed codes. Would that be the next thing you'd like to do? Everybody is is learn how to get those embed codes that we've been embedding. Okay, so let me show you I'll go to Google, for example, get out of here. Okay, so here I have, let's say any presentation. Okay, and for this, in Google, you want to make sure you hit this question. This is published to the web. For any Google doc, Google form, Google sheet, you want to publish it to the web. And here, you can tell it. Okay, so when you embed something, you're not going to be able to control the presentation, it's automatically the presentation automatically goes. So you have to decide how many seconds you want for the slides for the students, depends on what you want. And then here, this is a link, you don't want the link. What you want is the embed code.  And it says, are you sure you want to publish? You say, yes, I want to publish. And this is your code right here. You see that the same looking code that you had for thing link. Sherry, you have to record your voice separately and then upload it. There's no record button on thing link. Everything is uploaded. So that's how you do it on Google slides, Google sheets. And let's look at forms, because I think forms might be just a little different. So let me grab one of my forms. So I think on forms, you hit the send button. Yeah. And here, whenever you see that those kinds of little like carrots, that means it's an embed code. This is your email. This is your link. And this is your embed code. So you go there, and you just copy the whole thing. And then you can put that into your thing link. Yeah, you want me to show for the Marin, do you want me to show you slides or? Okay, yes. Okay, let me go back. So here's my slide. I click on the share. No, sorry, I go file, save to the web, publish to the web, file, publish to the web. Then you click on embed, then you hit publish. And it says, Are you sure you want to publish this selection? Okay. And then you can get your embed code. You know, Alisa, I don't know if you're going to get a recording of this. If you don't, all the instructions I have are in the PowerPoint, except for this embed stuff, because I will put that in there, though. So if you get the PowerPoint tomorrow, it'll have the embed stuff for you. I'll add that in. Okay, so somebody else asks, Oh, how about a Google Doc? Okay, Google Doc is the same exact way. Go to Google Docs. I'm just going to drive and know if I can find the doc. This is the doc I embedded. So here's my doc. I go here file, publish to the web. Oops, publish to the web. Again, click on embed and copy the code. So for Google Docs, I'm going to put that in the chat box for you guys. Google Docs, Google Form, Google presentation. When you embed, you don't have to worry about the share settings. It embeds. When you embed it, you've published it to the web, you have given up your share settings. So everybody can use all they need to do is it'll automatically show up, because you've published it to the web. But that's a good question. And in the share settings, you can say anyone, this is a link, though, has nothing to do with the embed code. When you embed a document into the link, there is no editing ability. It's always a view. So that's all the Google tools. And then forms is a little different with forms. Remember, you are going to click here's my form. For forms, you click the send button. And then the carats here give you the embed code. Google Sheets. Yes, it's the same. Let's see. Do I have any Google Sheets? Not as good at Google Sheets as I am at other things. But I think I do have something. Here we go. Here is, let's see something that's worthwhile. All right, let's do this. So here's my Google Sheet. I'm going to go file, publish to the web. You're going to hear my blog. There's nothing I can do about that. We have all learned that kind of stuff during the pandemic. Click on the embed code, and it gives you a choice. What do you want to embed? Because I have various different things down here. So we'll call it the manipulatives, I guess. So you have to choose, because on Sheets you can have different links, tabs. And then you click publish. And here's your embed code. Sites. Oh, man. I don't know if you can embed Google. Let's see. Probably you can do it the same way. Here is my student, my student portfolio. Let's check it out. It has a publish. Yeah, I don't know if you can do it with Google Sites. What are you trying to embed something in the site? No, I think she wants to embed a Google site into the singling. Oh, no. No. But you can embed the thing. Link to it. Yeah, you have to link to it, which we can do. Yeah, she's just asking me all the questions. I would never necessarily do a Google Sheet in there either unless I was a math teacher. So yeah, so that's how you do the embeds. So Microsoft Word products. It depends on whether Microsoft Word products depends on whether you have SharePoint or not. And that's tricky. The way I would do it is I would bring it into Google Docs because I don't know Microsoft Word products are tricky. So yeah. But you actually, I want to show you something about Singling that I forgot to show you, which is really cool. It's got the Microsoft Immersive Reader in there. So let me go over here. So let me do this. I'm going to add a new tag in here. I'm going to add text and media. And here I'm going to change the icon to the star. And I'll pick I have green red. I'll do yellow. And here I'm going to put in by safety. Now I can upload an audio here I want. If I want, I can upload an image. This is really cool because you can upload an image within an image. So if I click on this, I'll just pick anything. I'll put this image inside. There's the image. And then I can have some text description. Make sure you wear bright clothes. And then I'm going to click on the done button. And here's my star. And now you can have C right over here. There's a little microphone with that immersive reader. It will read whatever's here for the students. So here we go. Make sure you wear bright clothes. So that's kind of cool, right? Even though it's computer speech, it's not real speech. So you can actually, whatever you put in, when you use this is, let me show you what this is. Again, I'll go through this again. So I hit the edit button. And I add tags. But I went to text and media, not embed. And then I found my icon. You can put any icon you want in there. I added a title and I'll call this one. Let me just do the same thing. And then I put whatever I wanted to say in the description. Let me get the image first. Like, let's try a different image. Let me put this one in there this time. I'll say. I can make the URL work. So it actually, right here and there. I'm going to click done. Now watch it. It's the one. No, that's the old one. Done. It's the, which one did I just do? Oh, here, the basket. We should put that right on the plate, right? There. All right. So here, again, I click on the immersive reader. I hit play. Click on http colon slash slash www.suesenger.com. And then I can click on it. http colon slash. I should be able to click on it. Hold on. I think I have to go back to the, should be able to click on that. Let me go back. Yeah, right here. See my, I got the hand. So it's actually a button that's clickable and it will take you to the website. So that's pretty cool too. So do we want to go over that again?  So go to your image and click on add tag everybody and click on text and media this time. Text and media. And then you can change your icon to whatever you like. You can play around, type in your title and your description. So is it Yelena? Why Simon? I think it's you. Your name is Yelena. So yes, okay. So I have done this with a low beginning class and I was on Zoom with them. Not the bike safety. I did go on something else with the numbers one, two, three, four, five. So we go through the whole process first in Zoom and then I assign them the same activity at home and they have no problem. Oh, that's a good question. Thank you Evelyn. As soon as we finish this, I will show you that answer. Okay, so here I need help Convalinda. I'm going to put in mholt.us. Okay, so I hit the done button. And where did I, I can't remember what icon I used now. Here, the question mark. So we'll put that over here. And then when you click on this, it will, you go to the immersive reader and you can hear it. I need help. Convalinda. And then here is a link that will open up. I hope, oh, it takes you to OTAN. I think you have to do, I don't know, emails are a little bit different. You have to go mail to whatever. But anyhow, it brings you to OTAN. And a picture of Convalinda. Yeah, and I will show you some of the units I've done and also somebody else asked, oh, how to share. So let me show you that. And I need to put that on the, okay, so let me go back. I have so many here. I'm going to show you some of the ones that I've made. And so, where's my folder? So here's my low beginning class. These are, I've done all of these with low beginning. And here is my one on wearing masks. So once again, this one has one, two, three, four, five. And then here is the reading. Because in this one, I have where this is my content. But here I have a video. I always have a video. And then number two is a Quizlet. Number three is Google. This is Google slides that I've vetted. This is actually YouTube. I made a video of this. Number four is a video. Number five. I can't remember. This is their assignment. And they, in order to get, they had to fill in this form and then they would get a certificate. And had a lot of vocabulary. It was very hard. And then the reading was here. And this is a Google slides that I embedded. They're all public, but I have to share the, I think I share the link with you. And I think you can search for me on ThingLink. And we have to go over the explore part. But here, let me see if I can find, let me go back one screen. And let's go to the search button. And let's put my name in and see what happens. Thing happens. Oh yeah, here they go. So you should be able, here's the way to invite. So if you want to invite somebody. Oh, let me, that's not the way. Sorry. I want to show you search and then there's these filters. So you can look for images. You can look for just videos. You can look for 360 images and you can look for 360 videos. So if you go here to image and you type in COVID, let's say, I'm sure there's something in there. Oh, it's only looking for my content. That's not good. I have to go through collections here. Collections, these are all, these are my collections though. These are the 360 library. I'm not seeing where you can explore. I think I have to go back another screen. So we'll go to the, I don't want my content. I'll go to the help center and search how to find other, other things like how to explore. Seems like they changed it. Share. See what comes up. Yeah, it seems like they've changed it. So it's not as easy to share, to explore other people's stuff anymore. Let me sign in again and see what happens when I sign in fresh. This is my troubleshooting load. So yeah, let's see if it doesn't seem to. Used to be an explore button on here, but I don't see it anymore. So I think they've changed it, but they have, and these are my collections. I want to get out of my stuff. I don't know how to do it right now. Sorry, they only let you now look at the 360 library. So if I make a thing like users, my content used to be able to to share, but I don't think you can anymore. So I can go here and I can manage access of my account and I can give people or in my account. But how do I share with you? Okay, let me just do this. They have changed the interface very recently, as usual. So if I want to share this, share link, publish the social. So what I what I've done with the students is you can share this link. So this is the link for the beginning low mask one. Unfortunately, it looks like you can't really find any other thing links anymore. And when you get my thing link, you're going to want to clone it, duplicate it, because you don't want to use mine because it has all my stuff in it. I'm looking to see if I if they have a explorer in here. Yeah, see they don't. So I guess they have changed it because maybe people are not wanting to share. So the only thing you can explore now is this asset library, which are 360 images which only work really if you have a Google cardboard. Oh, it's not cool. This is a 360 image. And you can clone this like this if you hit the clone button. And then it's in your account and you can tag it. So yeah, Christina, if it's too small in canvas when you embed because you've embedded into thing link and then you're embedding thing link into canvas. So that would make the thing then just use the link feature. Yeah. So did you want to try doing some audio in your bike thing? Oh, can you please go over how to save the picture from Google Docs to your computer? Yes. So here's my Google Doc. Here are my three pictures that I save. There's more that I don't know what that is. But this one, this one, and where's the other one with the bike? Here, this one. This one's really good for low beginning because you could actually put all the pieces of the bike on there and do a vocabulary lesson.  Anna, save to keep.  If you don't want to find it easily, you can save it somewhere else. But I always save to my desktop, which is why my desktop is so messy, and then click save. And it goes right to your desktop. Okay, so should we do audio file? So I can show you how to do that with ThingLink. Okay, so we're back to our picture. We're going to add a tag, but first we're going to have to make the audio. So we have to make the audio first. So let's do that. I'm going to find my audio player, looking if I have. I may not have any audio player because recently my computer, but I will find an audio on the YouTube free audio. Did you know that YouTube has a free audio library where the music is all copyright free? I think it's this one. So all of this audio here and you can search by genre. Search. So you can search by genre. So let's say we're going to get something ambient, right? Apply. And these are all, and then I can play it. I'm going to download it. And what's really cool about this is it's all creative comments, so all this audio is free for you to use. I always give credit, but you don't have to, theoretically. So it probably, this is the thing with this, it probably went to my downloads folder, which is hard to find. There it is. Okay, so I have my music downloaded. So now I'm going to go to my thing like, and I'm going to cancel this. I'm going to put the music here under settings. I'm going to upload audio, and I'm going to go to my download folder, and this is not showing up. Oh, here it is. It's way down there. Open. You see it's uploading, so it's going to take a second. Take a few minutes. Okay, now it's uploaded. So the music track is down here. The students can start it or stop it, and it will play as they work on the image, which is kind of nice if your students want to have relaxing music. If they don't, they can just stop it, because there's a little button down here. So did everybody want me to go through that again? How I did that? Let me put that link for you. You have to have a YouTube account, but that's the link. And that will take you to the free music. So do we have any questions? Let's go back to the PowerPoint. Okay, so these are the different, we went through all of this. This is all that how to do the icons, to change the icon. Choose an icon, choose a color, upload on your own. That's all there for you. Go back. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Misery right now. All right, let's just go through this one more time and see what's on there. So we took the image. We got an account. We learned all this stuff. We learned. We didn't do all of this.  I have not done it yet, so that's why I didn't share that with you. Then there's my resource folder. This is what we did. We added, here's the pencil to add a tag. Here are the different types of tags that you can add with descriptions. Here is how to add a tag. And here is how to explore the 360 image library, which I showed you is the only thing you can now explore. So this is what we did today. How to log on, how to explore, how to create a ThingLink with Google Form, Google Doc, and Quizlet. The one thing that's not in the PowerPoint that I will add is how to do the embed codes for you. And now I have a home and how to explore the library. Now I have a homework assignment. You have been taken through this, and if you really want to learn this, you need to do a ThingLink yourself. And I will want to say that it requires you to think about what you want to present to your students first. So I usually create a storyboard, like I want to do this lesson on bike safety. So I'm going to have, I want to have an image of that's good for the students. I want to have a video that's at their level. I want to have, and you can slow down the video and embed it that way. I want to have a Google Doc so that they can reflect from the video. I want to have a reading. I want to have maybe an audio. Sometimes I do audio readings. I use Google slides and I make audio for the whole slideshow. And I want to have a final assessment to make sure that they learn the material that I want them to learn. So I write down all the tools that I'm going to use. An open vocabulary, usually I use Quizlet. So I make a list of all the tools. I make all the files first. So I make my, I find my video. I find my, I make my Google Form. I make my Quizlet. I make my reading, or I find my reading online, whatever you're going to do. And I, I make my assessment. So all of the pieces for the thing link are done before you start. And then you have to find a nice image that is copyright free that you can use. So then you put the, you upload the image into Thing Link. You have all of your, your activities ready and you find the embed code or you link it and you put it on the image. So I want you to do that and have at least two tags, but it'd be nice if you could think, you know, think out a lesson that you want to do and create that for the students. So I really want you to make one for your class and to send me the link and I'll take a look at it and give you some feedback. And that's your homework. Any questions? No questions? Susan? Yes. They get some Kickapoo Joy Juice if they do the homework. They get more. They get an extra hour on their certificates. So you're all going to get a certificate for attending. And Google just came on my phone to explain what Kickapoo Joy Juice was. Sorry for that. So anyway, you're going to get an extra hour on your certificate if you complete the homework. So, yes, and I have two questions. One is my email is right here askeratotan.us and the PowerPoint which doesn't have anything about the In-Bend Code yet. Remember that. The PowerPoint is available for you. Let's go to the first one right here. Why does it go to do that? Is there a way to just present this slide? No. Like from beginning, rehearse with Coach or present live. Well, here it is. I'll put it in the PowerPoint is available right here. I'm going to put it in the chat box. But remember, if you download it right now, it's not going to have the In-Bend Code. If you wait until tomorrow, it will have the In-Bend Code information on there. So, yes, there's the PowerPoint and my email is easy now that we have OTAN. That's garatotan.us. So let me ask you do you feel like you guys can do this? Do you feel like I've presented you with the information you need to be able to do this? Yes or no? Pipe in the chat box, right? Denise says yes. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, good. Yes, definitely. Very good, very good, very good.


Here we go mark your own. I didn't leave you much room to show work I'm gonna kind of have to do it all over the place here or you could have done on a scrap piece of paper on your test I'll make sure I show you leave you room to do work if log base x of three equals a and log base x of 25 equals b determine an expression for log base x of nine over five first thing I said is I'm not using the base change law Because it's base x base x base x so that's nice. I already removed one complete strategy Then I thought about this and Amanda. I said, you know what that nine? I bet goes with that three and That five I bet goes with that 25. I bet you that's why they picked those numbers. I Said one more thing Katie.  They gave me one log. I'm gonna try and break it up. So I wrote it like this first of all log base x of nine minus log base x of five Why minus because the by the new side looks in the subtracting outside now what well What's right here it's all What's right here? I disagree. What's right here? You know what I really see here another three I see this is That not a three and is that not also a nine so I haven't violated any math rules It's still the same question. I've just made it look different. But why is that so handy Steph? What can I do with this here to here? Darn right. I think on my next line. I would write this as two log base x of three and I would drop the minus sign down Nathaniel, let's play that same game Nathaniel. What's right here? What's right here? I disagree What's right here? You know what here? This is also a 25. How could I write this as 25 to some power? 20 to not five squared not I don't want to write it as five as a 20 I want to write it as 25 to something ah 25 square root or 25 to the one half. I Think I can rewrite this as is that not still a five? Yes, but doesn't that look a little closer to that? Yes, and what can I do Stephanie with that one half? Also move it to the front Why is that so nice well as it turns out? I'm nearly done because this question says you know what log base x of three can be replaced with a And you know what log base x of 25 can be replaced with? B So I think this whole thing is really to a minus a half B which is oh Hey, how many you got that? Okay, so more of you getting that like I said there's kind of a science and an art to these and suddenly you see it and I Number two says what's an expression for the log of n if n equals that? Oh, you know what I'm gonna take the log of both sides because that will give me log of n on one side I Think the first thing I would do then is this The log of big n equals the log of a over 5b I Would glance and see if I saw that answer. No, I don't quite I See lots of answers with multiple logs. I think they want me to break this up So I will on top means what positive on the bottom means what? Just when we reversed it we said positives on top negatives on the bottom Reversing it is a bit is on top. It'll be positive when you pull it out of the log If it is on the bottom, it'll be negative when you pull out it. So it's gonna be log a minus log five minus log b and Oh, okay Now a lot of people make The mistake of picking D because they say oh those two are being multiplied and so multiplying means that no no no No, where is that B? Is it on the top or on the bottom? That B is on the bottom It's being multiplied on to everything on the bottom which means Fundamentally it's still dividing because it's on the bottom. It's negative number three. I thought was the toughest multiple choice I looked at this and I went No idea Haven't got a clue Well, no, I have a little bit of a clue Amanda, what's my base right here? What's my base here? Here Here here, you know what? I'm gonna base change and I'm gonna base change either to base B or base X Which one well my first thought was why don't I go base B because maybe something nice will happen with a 1 over B Changing into a base B. I have no idea where I'm going, but that was my reasoning So how would I write this whole thing is base B?  I wouldn't get confused in my work I said this is the same as the log base B of X all over the log base B of 1 over B Sorry for writing so small. I hope you can read that That's the base change law. Oh I said I well I looked at the denominator The log base B of 1 over B that I can evaluate What is the log base B of 1 of B to what power? Equals 1 over B No, I think I heard somebody say negative I think negative 1 so I said oh This is really just The log base B of X over a negative 1 And then I said Katie, you know dividing by negative one that just makes your whole answer negative and then I smiled I Said hey There it is there it is Just curious how many of you got all three of the multiple choice, right? So I mean I didn't water these ones down So if you did well played Number four, this is a log equation. We set our strategy for a logarithmic equation It was we want to write it as one thing equals one thing one term equals one term The right-hand side already is one term, so I'm good with that The left-hand side I'm adding two logs why that's the same as multiplying them if the bases are the same and they are Can I do this? No, no the logs don't cancel the logs would cancel it so if I had one log equals one log And even then they weren't technically canceling out a technique any longer most whatever. Oh Ooh, what did we do here? We got to this line and we had a log equals a number What did we do here? Amanda you're right. What? Yeah, this and the phrase the trigger phrase I tried to give you guys is if I know one I know both if I know the log equation I know the exponent equation what to the power of what equals what I'm pretty sure 12 to the power of one equals what's inside the log and I'm already sensing I'm probably gonna need more room. So mr. Dewey Move that up a little bit like that and I'm gonna hook and I'm gonna get rid of the one there What is 12 to the one? 12 I Ended up on my next line with 12 equals and I foiled this out I got a 6 you know what because this is with the x at the very end normally I try and do all this in my head But they got the x is negative and on the end. I'll be a bit more paranoid. I'll show all my steps So it's gonna be 6 minus 3 x minus 2 x plus x squared 12 equals I'll have an x squared I'll have a minus 5 x and I'll have a plus 6 What kind of an equation is this why it's a quadratic? How do I know? What's first thing I do before I even factor? What's the first thing I do? I make it equal to 0 0 equals x squared minus 5 x minus 6 because I would subtract 12 from Bossa Then I would try and factor this numbers that multiply to negative 6 and add to negative 5 I think negative 6 and Positive 1 I think my roots are 6 and negative 1 No We have to find out if Ryan does get his date after all If I put a 6 in here What's 3 take away 6? What sorry what oh? No, oh, no Let's try a little negative 1 right here. What's 3 minus minus 1? Well, I like that's okay. What's 2 minus minus 1? Ah, that's okay as well. So for 3 marks if you ended up with Most of this and a 6 and a negative 1 and you crossed out the 6 Otherwise, how do I give up part marks? That's a great question. Mr. Do it. How did I give up part marks on this? This is quiz 4 Semester 1 or semester 2? Doesn't say This semester 2 I hope I gave up part marks on this on my original answer key Let's find out Yeah, I knew I did so I would probably give you a half mark if you combine the logs a Half mark for realizing that 12 to the 1 equals what's inside the log a Half mark if I saw the lovely quadratic equation appear a half mark for the factors a half mark for the roots each of the roots But you would lose a half mark if you didn't cross out the extraneous Example 5 We call this an exponential equation How do I know the X is an exponent? How do I solve this take the log of both sides and no shortcuts here? Mr. Do it says too easy to make sloppy mistakes Move the exponents to the front with brackets get rid of the brackets by multiplying How many x terms do I have to are they on the same side? No Get them to the same side now look up Here is Kirsten my preference. This is not a math rule I find I make dumb mistakes with negatives Kirsten So even though the easiest way to get all the logs to the same side would be to minus this here I actually chose to plus this guy to this side because I got rid of that negative and Plus this guy to this side because I got rid of that negative Does that make sense? I liked it better So I wrote this like 2x log 3 plus X log 5 equals Log 3 you don't have to you could have got your X's to the same side. I Just Katie make dumb mistakes with negatives and I've learned that over the years How many x terms do I have to how many what I prefer Steph? Be wonderful if there's some kind of a grade 9 mathematical operation that I could you know pull out of my Back pocket as it were it I can factor an X out now what? Get the X by itself How it's so what's happening between the X or the bracket? So how would I move that ugly bracket over yep? It's math 8. It's ugly math 8 I agree, but it really on this level is math 8 X is gonna be the log of 3 all over 2 log 3 plus log 5 or you might have a negative here a negative here and a negative here It's the same answer.  How many terms on top Carson? So I can probably be sloppy with brackets on the top How many terms on the bottom better open bracket? write the bottom close off the bottom Oh, and I was closing off each log bracket along the way without even thinking about it because I have to anyways The answer is point two nine. Yes zero point two nine if You didn't round off to two decimal places if you went point two eight eight I won't take a half mark off if you did round off to two decimal places And you said the answer is point two eight I'm taking a half mark off because rounding is math they learned around off properly point two eight eight It's point two nine. Now if you got that and you showed work you get two out of two Otherwise, how did I give up part marks? One two three four five six seven lines. Oh, what would be nice if there was eight lines? I Gave a half mark off a half mark for that line Half mark if you move the exponent to the front a half mark if you're able to get the x by itself and a half mark for The answer I'll be honest on a test. I probably make this worth three marks or maybe even four Which means if you get it it's free marks Which means if you can't get it it's throwing away a lot of work Some even clever enough to turn the page. Hey turn the page This is as tough as an exponential equation. We'll get It's still an exponential Nicole x is an exponent still gonna start out the same way take the log of both sides I am not gonna move the exponent to the front not yet Because if I move this exponent to the front I'd be saying it was on the five and it's not instead I'm gonna recognize it. So what's happening between the five and the bracket? That's the same as adding outside the log. I'm gonna break this log up Going it's gonna be the log Oh, and the two and the two x plus one those are now separate logs, mr. Do it and now I can move the exponents to the front the log five drops down like a domino I Get a two x plus one log two equals Three minus x Log seven who bought solution manuals So just a reminder when you're looking at the solution manuals What the author does now is he changes this to a decimal like to eight decimal places and this as well And he multiplies them in he changes that to a decimal I think as well and he just gathers like to like he treats it like a great eight math equation with decimals and things like That which works just fine except it doesn't work very well. If there's a non-calc section Or if they say for as an exact value So I still like to keep going and say, okay boom boom boom boom This is gonna be the log of five plus two x log two plus log two equals three log seven minus x log seven Get all my x's to the same side. I Guess I'll minus this to this side and plus and minus that to that side. I'll get log five plus log two minus three log seven equals negative x log seven minus two x log seven Tyson how many x terms do I have? To how many would I prefer? Be wonderful as a grade nine mathematical operable. Yeah, I can factor out the x now. I don't have to go over here log five plus log two minus three log seven equals need more room. Oh Problem, mr. Duk. I'm gonna have to go over here Yeah, that is so handy. I have to admit that is just so handy Factor out an x and I'll have a negative a log seven and a minus and a two Are they both log sevens or did I do a glitchy thing here? This? This is a log two isn't it and suddenly it became a log seven Did I say that there was easy to make dumbest strikes along the way if you're not really really careful? I'm telling you it is at least I caught it so that should be a log two did I fix it here? It's still a log two Okay, that all looks good So if I recovered this is going to be factoring out a two log two, I hope Holy smokes is the answer. Please tell me log five plus log two minus three log seven all over negative log seven minus two Log two is that correct boys and girls? People are nodding Of course I can always check because I'm going to type this monstrosity into my calculator and then before I hand my test in I'll graph left side graph right side and find where they cross and I better get the same answer Anyways, let's type this puppy Bracket Log five plus. Oh, no close off bracket. Mr. Duk plus Log two close bracket minus three log seven close bracket close bracket divided by bracket negative log seven close bracket minus two log two close bracket close bracket. Do you guys get 1.06? What does it say how many double play it to? 1.06 How would I give part marks out there for four marks one two three four five six seven eight lines I probably go a half mark for each line. I bet you let's see if that's what I did Yeah, look at that a half mark for each line And I also apparently added more space on my answer key so that I could fit this stuff in Okay What would you do mr. Do it if you did that dumbest rake like made a two into a seven overall I'd probably work yours out because you've accidentally changed the equation We call that a transcription error in the marking realm and I'd probably give you three and a half out of four Number seven another log equation Mr.. Duk says our strategy is to write this as one thing equals one thing well the right-hand side isn't too hideous This is going to be the log of two times 22 minus 2x I Can't cancel the logs out. I need to move this to up to there. I need to go log Three minus x all squared now. Do I have one log equals one log? Okay, then the logs can't okay. I'm taking the analog about find the logs cancel and I'll end up with an equation that looks like this Three minus x squared Equals to bracket 22 minus 2x. I'll get rid of brackets 44 minus 4x This is 3 minus x times 3 minus x I think it ends up being 9 minus 6x plus x squared when you foil it out when you write the bracket twice and do the foil Shannon, what kind of an equation is this? How do I know it's got a squared? What am I going to do first before I do anything else? Gonna make it equal to zero. I think I'm gonna minus and plus these guys over I'm gonna get x squared. I'll plus 4x to both sides. That gives me a minus 2x I'll minus 44 from both sides 9 take away 44 is you get minus 35 I'll factor are their numbers that multiply to negative 35 and add to negative 2 if I didn't factor I'd quadratic formula Oh, no, there is it does factor x minus 7 x plus 5 Equals zero. What are my roots 7 and negative 5? Oh, no, we got to see if Ryan gets a date after all Go back to the original question if I put a 7 right there. What's 3 take away 7? Negative 4. Oh, no, Ryan. I'm so sorry Let's try the negative 5 3 minus minus 5. I'm good with that 22 minus negative. I'm good with that too. That works. Okay, and here there is no x So I ignored that term there. So this one looks like it's okay terms of part marks I Did that half mark for combining the logs a half mark for getting rid of the logs a half mark for doing some algebra Half mark for the quadratic half mark for the factors Half mark for each solution, but a half mark off if you didn't cross out the extraneous route. Oh Hey, hey, hey What if I'd also ended up crossing this one out? What if that one hadn't worked? How many solutions are there then? Yes, you may have no solution. It's possible What that's really saying Carson is this graph never crosses this graph it could have It'll be a fluke. It doesn't happen very often, but it's out there if you could give yourself a lovely score Please out of 16. Is it out of 16 and those you the world may can you awake? Can you put a great big omit on your quiz? So I don't give you a zero Can you open your books to last day? We looked at logarithmic scales. We looked at Richter scale Decibels and pH And we said that they were all actually scales based on powers of 10 Oh, no decibels were based on powers of 10 divided by 10 because and I remembered that because of the desa Prefix I could remember that we said as it turns out when you're looking at how sound works When you're looking at how earthquakes work when you're looking at how pH works the diff a difference of one Actually means ten times stronger. So an earthquake of Richter scale three and an earthquake of Richter scale five It's not five take away two twice as strong It's five take away to ten to the two a hundred times as strong. I gave you some questions to try and I'll start out by saying any questions from the homework now is your chance To ask and I'll probably talking about the very last question number 12. I believe it was in a second So relax, but any of these all went good What was the whole thing and this you are gonna have to memorize it's I said It's always gonna be 10 to the first minus second equals how many times stronger That you'll have to That if you're making a steady sheet up or I think we wrote it down a few times in our notes Like that's what I would kind of star or put a little asterisk next to or or or something In fact, I even had you guys repeat it. I think oh, please I wrote it in the notes somewhere. Did I not? Please tell me I wrote it down in the notes somewhere. Oh there at least once there There's what I fall back on so hey, let's look at number 12. That's right number. Yeah, no number 11 This this is the one all right There is an easy way to a clever way to do number 11 showing no work Because it's multiple choice and Then there's the mathematical way. I'm gonna do the easy way first says this Two different jets are flying together in an air show anybody ever been to the arbitrary air show Okay, if you haven't well worth going at least once it's quite a shame Each with a sound level of 120 decimals Then the approximate total so if there's two jets first of all Steph if one jet is 120 Will two jets possibly be less That's a dumb answer. Will two jets possibly be less That's a dumb answer Maybe Oh at air shows Do people regularly have their fillings shatter and screaming pain because they're exposed to 240 decibels of sound When we said the painful level was 160 decibels Do people go to air shows and do we have ambulances coming out of air shows time after time after time Andrew what's the obvious answer by thinking it through that way Now the real question is all right duic Prove it Okay, okay Here's what we're really saying there's one plane Remember we said decibels you divide by 10. There's one plane. Yes Can I instead of writing 120 over 10? Can I put a 12 there now? Here's two planes Yes that equals 10 to what power And once I know the exponent, I should be able to figure out what decibel decibel level that is Katie is that okay? Now here is where I would cheat just a little bit Here's where I would cheat just a little bit. What's my base right here What's my base right here? What's my base right here? I'm actually going to bring them to the same side because this is an this is an exponential equation But it does have part of the same base which we don't often deal with I'm going to divide this to this side I'm going to write this as 2 equals 10 to the x divided by 10 to the 12th So far so good. I have no idea where I'm going, but that looks nicer Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, are my bases the same when you're dividing with exponents? What did you do when your bases were the same? There's another way I can write that right hand side Yet minusing I connect you know what the equation is actually this When I do some fancy schmancy algebra, Nicole Where's the x sitting, Nicole? I know I did that on purpose mid-yon that was fun. Where's the x sitting? So I'm going to log both sides base 10 And Nicole because I'm in a rush I'm actually going to take a shortcut and move the exponents down to the front All on the same line I would never do that on a tester or quiz because I've told you well you saw I made a dumb mistake today in my answer key um This is interesting. What is the log of 10? Sorry. Oh, that's even nice. So if I hear you correctly, I get this log 2 equals x minus 12 How would I get the x by itself? Please Thank you plus 12. Okay. I get this x is going to be the log of 2 Plus 12 it's like we're running off to my calculator Log 2 Plus 12 and I get that x is 12.3 Hey, mr. Dewick wait a minute. That was answer. Hey, we're not done. We're not done. We're not done Okay By the way, I'm not going to give you one quite this tough I'm only doing this for the nerdiness of it and it is good practice to find the other ones easier Here's what we're saying then two jets Is the same as that but ryan That's in bells Do you remember for decibels? We actually divided the exponent by 10 if you want the answer in decibels It's 123 decibels divided by 10 that's how we get 123 decibels It we had to reverse the procedure remember Amanda I had 120 over 10 up here and then I said I'm gonna write that as a 10 So I went backwards to say well instead of 120 what would be up there 123 So you can use that second method. I would use my first clever method if I were you Yes Did anybody do it that way but anybody noticed that it has to be see Yeah You are smarter than your brother. I mean good Yes, I'll upload this video and you can drag your brother in front of this video and fast forward right to here and say Look, look, look, mr. Dewick is still making fun of you still. What did you do to him? Is that all right? So how will this show up on your test? You know what? I'm probably going to put one multiple choice Logarithmic scale question and one written logarithmic scale question and it'll be on ph decibels or rickterscale Okay You know what the funny thing is I've done that. What now five or six times. I can still see a few eyes What's he yelling for that's stupid Okay It's only so much I can do turn if you would please To page 203 we skipped one more lesson because we're going to do that one actually Actowards page 203 page 203 Under the b2 Under the i o under the n 3 page 203 Page 15 squared minus 22 So we just looked at applications of log scales now. We're going to look at applications of exponential growth and I have to start out by Scaring you is the wrong. I got to give you a little shock therapy This is probably on my list one of the top five toughest things we'll do all year Because what we're really going to be looking at here katie is word problems now. Don't freak out Don't freak out. I'm going to teach you how to dissect them We're going to be doing word problems and we're going to end up with exponential equations So we're going to have to use logs to solve them. It's a tough concept. It is nerdily cool Trust me at least once in here. Oh, that's how they figure some of that stuff out So read along with me. It says this we're probably going to go right to almost the tone today I'm going to probably do part one of the lesson today I sign a couple of the questions for homework and then we're really going to jump into things the next day Remember an exponential function is a function whose equation looks like that There is a base the x is an exponent and it's there may or may not be a coefficient Okay, this time there is almost always going to be a coefficient because now we're looking at real world Problems and the numbers are never as nice as the fake ones that we can try for graphing Your base is rarely going to be a tool. It's usually going to be a decimal Oh, and we said if as long as a is positive If your base is bigger than one, it's an exponential growth Kirsten looks like that if your base is less than one x an exponential decay. It's getting smaller says this Blah blah blah blah blah I'm not going to look at that paragraph yet because that paragraph refers to the previous lesson Which we've skipped right now Instead I'm going to tell you that every single exponential growth equation looks as follows Can you turn the page please? And go to page 205 at the bottom of page 205 This right here is the template That we're going to memorize we're going to say every single exponential growth equation Looks like this Although I'll be honest rag jeep. I get a little sloppy. I don't put the t subscript there because that's saying a of t I don't want to complicate it with the function notation What I write whenever they give me an exponential growth word problem And you'll learn how to recognize them pretty easily the first thing that I do is I say a Equals a zero c to the t over p. You don't need to write that right now Yes, you do. Can you turn back please to the beginning of the lesson? And write where that paragraph of blah blah blah blah blah is Where it says writing an equation using y equals a b to the x we're going to say actually it's going to be a equals a zero c to the t over p Say what write that down Put a box or a star or something you do need to memorize this equation Now you'll probably write it out so often if you discipline yourself jessica to write it down Every time you're doing a question even if you've just written it in the question above That's probably the easiest way that you bring will just memorize it because you're naturally lazy Let's talk about what all of these mean the letter capital a means the final Amount that's why we use a for amount So whatever number you get here. That's what you end up with It's what you finished with They sometimes put a t the final amount with respect to time. I don't like putting that little t subscript That's too many. I got confusing ashley. So I won't make you even though they did in the book physics people What do you think a zero stands for i'll give you a hint. It's a certain type of an amount What did the zero stand for often in physics? Okay, this is your initial amount That's at least nice and consistent with physics notation C is your growth Rate it's also called your growth constant Which is why they use the letter c for constant I always use the letter r for rate, but I want to be consistent with your book. So I'll use theirs t physics people. What does lowercase t always stand for? time I'm going to add a word in front of it Total time And the lowercase p stands for the growth period The population doubles every five years your growth period would be five Population doubles every six months your growth period would be point five half a year Population doubles every year your growth rate would be your growth period would be one Okay Now if you memorize this then katie it kind of becomes fairly plug and chuggish says this Example one in 2002 the university population of a country was a hundred and sixty thousand Increasing at an annual rate of four point five percent A says write in equations represent the university population as a function of time Now i'm going to cross out the letter p and i'm going to put a for final amount just this once And instead of n years i'm going to put t time Okay And we would start out by saying final amount equals initial amount Times c to the power of t over p and now we would plug stuff in This 2002 we're going to come back to What's this hundred and sixty thousand? Your initial amount if you can put an equal sign and in front of the of the where c there's going to be there's your initial amount 160 000 katie in this case the final amount is what they're asking us to find trust me. I know there's going to be an a there Final amount equals but your initial amount is 160 000 What's your growth rate? It's often a percentage. Can you see it? Okay, don't write four point five percent yet. First of all four point five what? Okay, we can never do math with a percent. We always have to change it to a decimal So what's four point five percent as a decimal? math eight What's fifty don't write this down. What's fifty percent as a decimal? point five What's two percent as a decimal? What's five percent as a decimal point zero five, so what's four point five percent as a decimal? Put a bracket here leave a small space, but put a point zero four five, but leave a space in front of the point Because this isn't quite right It's actually that as your growth rate one point zero four five Why is it that? look up First of all, what's one as a percentage? No, what's one as a percentage? Carson, thank you for remembering your math eight. Here's what you're saying Your original population plus four and a half percent every year That's why you have to have a one in front of it katie because your original population is still there And it's increasing by four and a half percent Your growth rate is four point zero five to the power of t over What's the growth period? It says the population is increasing at an annual rate. That means it's increasing every year Every one year your growth period here would be one Trust me. It'll get easier This is your equation your final amount is equal to your initial amount times your percentage increase plus one To the power of time divided by however long the growth period is annual means every year What if it said semi-annually every half year it'd be a point five here What if it said by annually it'd be every two years there'd be a two here What if it said every decade It'd be a 10 Okay B says determine the university population in the year 2005. What do they want me to determine? What do they want me to determine Shannon? Read Which of these is the final university population? This This You wrote this down didn't you? You write that down So what does the a stand for look it down? Look at your notes. Look at your notes. Look at your notes. Look at your notes Let's keep looking at your notes See that right? Okay. Keep looking there. Look down What is what did you write next to the a? Wouldn't that be the university population? They want us to find a Okay, in other words if they want us to find the university population in the year 2005 The university population is going to be 160 000 times 1.045 To the power of what? What year are we in? What year are we in? No, no, what year are we in according to this question right here right now? What year did this question start? What am I going to put right here? Here's my variable. Is my variable exponent? No, this is not logs. This is go to your calculator type that in plug and chug. What is 1600 times 1.045 cubed? Calculators please 160 000 times 1.045 cubed What do you get? 4.67 we're starting with 160 000 people. There's no way we have 4.67 I don't think you've multiplied by a hundred and six 160 000 times 1.045 cubed Right What do you get? You got a hundred and eighty two thousand five hundred and eight six point six Yes hundred and eight two thousand five hundred and eighty Can we have point six of a person? Well, there's midsuit. No, can we have point six of a person? Let's round up hundred and eighty two five eight Seven Yes Yes Okay C C says if the population continues to grow at this rate Determine the number of years to the nearest year for the population to double First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to write down a equals a zero C to the t over p First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to write down a equals a zero C to the t over p Partly because it helps me to memorize the thing and partly because that's how I'm going to approach solving this kassandra. Thank you First thing we're all going to do is write down a equals a zero c to the t over p And then we're going to do in physics what I call deficking renalist our data What was a zero? What was my initial population in the information that they gave me? I'm going to write over here. Do I know the final population? I do indirectly What's the final population supposed to be according to this particular question? How'd you get 320,000? More specific. What was the word that told you double? What was my growth constant my growth rate? We were increasing by what percent? 4.5 percent, which means 1.045 And we were increasing every two years every one year every six months every one month every week. What were we increasing? It said increasing annually, which means increasing every one year You guys okay because I'm seeing lots of giggling back there. I hope it's math related What are they asking me to find in this question out of all of these? What's missing? What don't I know? What are they asking me to find? Nicole Did you say I thought you said sorry? What did you say t? Let's plug everything else in final amount 320,000 Equals initial amount 160,000 times 1.045 To the t over one am I going to write the over one though? Where is the variable sitting now amanda? Oh, how will I solve this then? This is why it's part of this unit. We're going to use logs, but first We're going to do something clever before we take the log of both sides because I don't have an exponent over here I'm going to get this exponent by itself. I'm going to move this 160,000 over how what's this 160,000 doing to the bracket mathematically? I'm going to divide I'm going to divide by 160,000 Divide by 160,000 And I don't need to reach for my calculator andrew. Are you serious because I know that 320,000 divided by 160,000 andrew. I'm positive is to No calculator required How will I solve this? How will I solve this? log both sides Okay, I was bad. I also moved the exponent to the front on the same line This is about the only time I let myself take a shortcut because these are usually pretty clean when you get to this line Holly, how would I get the t by itself? More specific divide by what? I heard you say divide by ah, yes If I'm not mistaken the amount of time is going to be the log of two divided by The log of 1.045 How many years after 2002 will this university or will this pop yeah university population Of this country have doubled sorry It says to the nearest year okay, um Would that be helpful to know if you were a country would that influence how many universities you were building over those years and at what rate? Yeah Because if university population is doubling in 16 years you better make sure in 16 years you got twice as many university spots Okay, this is exponential growth Turn the page figured out good example two The number of fish in a lake is decreasing. I want you to all to underline the word decreasing By five percent each year as a result of overfishing Says write an equation to represent the number of fish after t years use n zero to represent the initial population And n of t to represent the final population. Okay At the top of the page here. I'm going to write a equals a zero c to the t over p That's my generic equation my template that I memorized Except instead of a zero. What do they want me to use for the initial population? Meet the question It's a Instead of a zero. What do they want me to use for the initial population? Instead of a zero Thank you They want me to use n of t for my final population. Okay. I'll use their variable and make them happy What percent are we decreasing by? What percent are we decreasing by please read the question If we're losing five percent, what percent is left behind? 95 In other words for percentages. It's one plus if you're gaining One plus four point five percent if you're losing it's one minus If you're losing one minus five percent to the power of t and It says each year each year means the period is just one So it's key over one. This is your equation Right now, of course, it has one two three variables. We can't solve this But I bet you in b they're going to give us some more information that says this If there were 2,500 fish present in january 2000, how many would you expect to be present in january 2005? What's this 2,500? I think it's the initial population What do they want me to find in this question? What do they want me to find in this question?  That must mean somehow they've given me the time. How many years is this population talking about this question talking about? Oh, how'd you get the five?  What population is left? 1,900 and Uh, can we have 0.5 of a fish? What can we do on minnow? That's probably about 1,930 to be real honest see After how many years to the nearest tenth would it take for the population to reduce to half the number? In january 2000 Now this is where the fact that people don't understand how exponential growth and decay Really hammers us in politics or in society We're going to solve this in a second But a lot of people someone without a math background would say well, you're losing five percent How long to get to 50 percent uh five percent? 10 years they'll say oh, we got 10 years before we only got half left And tell you the answer is far less than 10 years Because this part of the curve is Decaying very very very very steeply. Let's plug in numbers What's my initial amount in january 2000? 2,500 What's my final amount that they want this to have? It says reduced to half. So how many fish do we want left? 1250 0.95 and they want how long would it take how many years t is my variable Where is t sitting? Exponent How will I solve it? Well, I'll eventually take the log of both sides, but is there a coefficient in front? Is there an exponent over here that I'm actually going to go divide by 2,500 Divide by 2,500 and Andrew without a calculator. Can you please tell me what 1250 divided by 2,500 will be? This divided by that what will it be? You know how I knew it would be a half? Here's my equation How will I solve this one? Log both sides I'll get the log of 0.5 equals and I'm going to be bad and move the exponent to the front log of 0.95 Christian, how would I get the t by itself? What's happening between the t and the log? So how will I move the log over? Are you saying divide by log? No, I think you're whispering it or maybe even thinking it because I'm having a read. Is that what you said? A little more volume next time? No idea what that was. I saw this I think you said divide by log. Yeah, I agree T is going to be cursed in that log of 0.5 divided by the log of 0.95 I'm going to tell you You don't have 10 years until you're down 50 percent. How many years? sorry 14 13.5 says to the nearest what in the question? Can't read the instructions for rounding right? You got 13 and a half years You okay? good We're going to come back to continuous growth and decay in a second What I'm going to assign you for homework right now is questions where they're giving you the equation We have been deriving the equation which is the tricky part We're going to practice that way more when I see you guys next but for now If you turn to page 207 you can do number one number two And I think For now Think Yep, that's going to be it Okay


Hello and welcome to our first ever Google Webmaster Conference Product Summit because no conference is good unless you can have five words to go with it. And that's how we describe it. I am Danny Sullivan, the Public Liaison for Search. Some of you may have know me from my previous life and let me tell you, it has been an interesting journey where I did not expect to be kind of doing a conference type of thing again and yet here we are. So I will try to reclaim all my older skills and see if I can bring those back in with it. We have a really great day planned. I am super excited about this. We have had events at Google for many times we've had different SEOs. Webmaster content producers and such come in, but I don't think we've ever had anything to this degree involving this many Googlers as you will see as we get started and we're really excited to have all of you as part of this. Why are we having this event? So it's really that we want to better increase our two-way communication between people who work at Google Search and you folks and whoever's calling on this phone. That was totally fine because it happens to me as well. So we have lots of feedback. Like there's no end to the feedback we hear. Here's John Mueller just getting feedback, feedback, feedback, backhanding the feedback. So we have our office hangouts, we have feedback that's coming in there. We have feedback that comes internationally, multiple languages all over the world, lots of lots of feedback. And we really are thinking about the ecosystem, the open web, et cetera, et cetera, all the time. It really does come up. Like in my time that I've been here, people are like, what's it like working at Google? Well, you know, once they put me in the machine, they brainwashed me. Everything's been great since then. No. There's a small thing like in Cockwork Orange and they held my eyes open and then it was so fine. No, no, it wasn't like that at all. It's actually been like what I'd known Google was like to be with, which was a very thoughtful company that really, you know, does care about these kinds of issues and it does come up in meetings. And we had this one thing that came up where we had launched something and then people were slightly concerned. It almost never happens. And I was like saying, well, okay, I'll come in and, you know, by the way, we really do think about this stuff. And everybody totally believed me. They're like, oh, thank you. I felt really reassured. No, people are like, yeah, I believe it. So, no, but so no one really believed it. But as an example of this is the origin of this entire event. So this is an email that Danielle Marshuck sent out who you will see later on. And by the way, there have been a lot of people involved this event and we will not be thanking all of them because it would go on for ages. But Danielle has been like a real hero of everything. She has roped us all in. And every week said, get it, get it. And so now we are all here. So she sent this email out. I think it was March. Maybe it was April saying, look, we want to have this sort of meat, the ecosystem type of thing. And Emily, Emily of the Emily Moxley, who you'll hear from later, one of our senior people I mentioned, thought this would be a good thing. And it's just like coming down, it's coming out just organically, organic, from within Google saying we would like to have this type of thing. It's not like, OK, it's part of that thing that's already in what's going on with all the products. So, yeah, we do think about it all the time and this is one of those ways that it's coming out. And then going back to that earlier thread that I mentioned. So it came up and I said, look, we really do think about the ecosystem. And in fact, it's important. Like, if Google wants to support the ecosystem because we really do recognize that if we do not do that, if the ecosystem isn't thriving, we can't thrive.  So, but the other, I think, big challenge is all this, is that search has to keep evolving. Like, one nice thing is you all have job security, as you know, because every day we'll just roll something else out and you'll go, oh, that stuff has changed. It's all different. BERT changes everything, everything. SEO, it's dead. No, it's none of those things. So just, you know, again, you can attribute it to me that it's not dead.  Are there any children that don't remember what a modem is? Because you're very lucky. So that's how we searched and that's how people got their stuff and this is how people are searching today. They're on the back of bicycles with their phones. I don't know if you've seen that, but this is true. That's everywhere out there. I see it all the time, people on the back of bicycles. No, people are searching. They're on the move. They're all ages. They're constantly searching all sorts of ways. So we have to keep search evolving because if we don't keep doing it, then people aren't going to be searching with us. Now, how do we know as we evolve whether or not we are still doing the right thing by the ecosystem? And one thing could be, what would look at traffic? And one metric that we have of just one thing in terms of news is, well, you know, we send like 24 billion visits per month to news sites. So that's a lot of visits. So you'd think we're supporting news as we hope that we are. But if you just look at traffic, then you're kind of dealing with an imperfect measure because let's take Burt here. And here's before Burt and someone did this search for I want to get medicine for someone at a pharmacy. And before we had Burt, we would say, all right, here's how you get medicine for yourself, which sent that site traffic, but wasn't really answering what the person was looking for. Wasn't really providing what they were. And then afterwards we're sending until a different page at a different site that is actually saying, well, this is how you can get medicine for someone else. So traffic's been lost. And you could say, well, now the ecosystem's been harmed and particularly that site's been harmed because they didn't get the visit they should have gotten in the first place, right? You know, I was getting this visit, now I'm not getting this visit, it's horrible. But you were getting a visit, but was it actually a visitor that was useful for you? That's just one of the things you have to consider when you look at all this stuff. And I don't know all the answers to this and we don't know all the answers to this. That's why we invited 200 of you all to come because we figured you know all the answers to this. What is it? No, anyway, you can tell us later. But one of the things we would like to get is a sense of, well, how should we assess if we're supporting the open web of the ecosystem? What are some of the metrics we might wanna be considering? What are some of the ways that to you are important to know whether or not we're doing the right thing by both your sites and that you would think of, I know this is hard, but sites in general. What are the ways that Google can improve our support overall? We definitely wanna understand that as well. So that's part of all this is going on here. And really anything that's on your minds at all, we wanna know, that's why you're here. So don't be shy, as I know that so many of you can often be. I have seen your tweets, I don't really wanna say this. And then you hold back, so I won't. No, we really want to hear everything from you. So we are so, so glad to have you out here today.


Macrophages play a critical role in the immune system by recognizing and engulfing foreign particles such as bacteria or viruses. They also produce cytokines and other molecules that help fight off infections. Macrophages can differentiate into two distinct subtypes M1 and M2 depending on the type of stimulus they receive. The M1 subtype produces inflammatory cytokines and promotes the destruction of infected cells while the M2 subtype produces anti-inflammatory cytokines and helps promote wound healing. Macrophages are also important in the development of cancer as they can promote tumor growth and metastasis. Additionally, they can suppress the immune system making them attractive targets for cancer treatment. Recent research has focused on understanding how macrophages respond to different signals with the goal of developing new treatments for diseases like cancer and auto-immunity.
