All right, Bookmap Discord. Just a note about Bookmap Discord is free and available to everyone. Whether you subscribe to Bookmap or not, there's a lot of great content there, highly recommended. And of course, my channel is there as well. I'm also on to X, formerly known as Twitter. My name there is at Doug Pless. The focus of my presentation today and the focus of the options-dash-doug chat channel is options order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. I have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned in the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day as well as the directional bias. And the second step of my process is execution. I look at real-time motor flow in Bookmap and real-time market maker hedging flow in SpotGamma Hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for injuries and exits. And when I talk about setups today, I will be talking about setups in an underlying asset and those setups can be taken any number of ways. For example, S&B 500 setups can be taken with ES futures, Smy shares, Smy options, SPX options, or even ES options. Questions and comments are welcome and I will be watching both the options-doug chat channel and Discord as well as the chat and YouTube for your questions and comments. Please feel free to post and I'll do my best to answer your questions. Alright, here's my agenda for today, Friday, December 1st. First of all, I want to go over news items, economic data, and events to wrap up the week. Then I'll go through my positional analysis. Then I'll talk about setups earlier today and then I'll take a look at the live market. And when I get to the live market, if anyone has any stocks they want me to take a look at, please let me know and I will be glad to do that. Alright, let's get started with news items. So there were a couple of news items today, one economic data and one event. So first of all, the economic data at 10am, the ISM manufacturing PMI data came out. Let's just take a look at ES Futures and Bookmap to see the reaction. So initially there was a bullish reaction. That data came in in line, or less than expected, and also less than 50 but in line with the previous number. And then at 11am, much more importantly, Jerome Powell was speaking and the market interpreted that as bullish. So here's the reaction to the 10am PMI data. Initially bullish, SMB500 found a resistance at the SPI 457 level. I'll go through these levels in more detail in just a minute. And then Jerome Powell started speaking at 11am and overall net the reaction was very bullish. Kicking off a pretty strong rally up to the SPX 4600 call wall. Alright, so again I'll go through these levels in more detail in just a minute. So that was the news. On a Monday I'll talk about the news upcoming for the next couple of weeks. And note today, for some reason I guess maybe because of the holiday last week, the jobs report did not come out today. That's normally on the first Friday of the month at 8.30am Eastern time. That will be next Friday, December 8th, the jobs report next Friday. Alright, let's start with positional analysis now. I'm going to start with the SP500. And before I take a closer look at this chart, I want to take a look at a larger time frame. I'm going to go to a chart of the SPX. This is a 30-day one-hour chart in thinkorswim. First of all, I want to point out the key turning points on this chart. And this is the start of the rally, current rally. This was October 30th. On the Friday before, traders were loading up on puts concerned about weekend risk. And then on Monday, price started to move higher, implied volatility dropped. Market makers could buy back their short hedges. This was a very put-dominated, negative gamma. Market makers' position on the game curve was very negative gamma. And that means that traders were long puts, market makers were short puts, as price increased, implied volatility drops, market makers' delta notional dropped, and they could sell their short futures, buy back their short future hedges. So during this time, this negative gamma started to shift to positive gamma. The next turning point here is the November 14th, CPI data that came in much better than expected. And since then, the rally has continued with slower in a positive gamma environment, but has continued to move higher. With longer periods of consolidation, again, more typical of a positive gamma environment. So a shift from a very negative gamma environment to now a positive gamma environment. I'll talk more about that in a few minutes. All right, so those are the turning points. Let me point out some levels on this chart. And actually, I'm going to zoom in just a little bit. So we can see the current price and levels a little bit more clearly. So first of all, the dash purple lines, this one may be hard to see, are showing the lower and upper weekly expected move. It's based on the options market. I update that once a week. It does not change during the week. Then the dash blue lines are showing the lower and upper daily expected move. And that's also based on the options market that changes every day. That's based on the expected move at the close of the previous day. And note SPX has traded above its upper daily expected move, now trading lower. So those are the daily and weekly expected moves. There are also spot gamma levels on this chart. These are proprietary spot gamma levels provided to spot gamma subscribers provided on a variety of platforms. Again, this is thinkorswim. I'm going to point out the key daily levels. First of all, here's the put wall at 4400, back where it was two days ago. There was kind of an odd shift up to 4530 yesterday. And that was kind of an anomaly based on the lack of call gamma at that 4530 level. But put wall is back to 4500. So it did shift lower, but I don't really, I consider yesterday more of an anomaly. Alright, so that is the put wall. That's the strike with largest net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support. The next level up is 4500. That's the absolute gamma strike. That's the strike with largest absolute negative and positive gamma. So that's where most of the gamma weighted open interest is concentrated. The next level up is the volatility trigger at 4545. And that is spot gamma's proprietary gamma flip level. Below that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is negative. At a negative gamma environment, they have to trade with price to edge their delta exposure. And that tends to enhance or increase volatility when market makers are trading with price in both directions. On the other hand, above that level, like SBX is trading now, market makers position on the gamma curve is positive. In a positive gamma environment, market makers have to trade against price to edge their delta exposure in both directions. And that tends to subdue or decrease volatility. And then finally, the call wall is at 4600. That's the strike with the largest net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance. So the range is potential floor at 4400 put wall and then the potential ceiling at the 4600 call wall and in between the 4500 level being the level with the largest amount of absolute, largest absolute gamma, largest amount of gamma weighted open interest. All right, those are the key daily levels. Now let's take a look at a shorter time frame chart. Just so we can see the levels and play for today. This is an SPX one day one minute chart. Note SPX trading above the volatility trigger at 4,545. Here's the call wall at 4,600. Price did not quite make it up there before our reversing lower. Also the upper daily expected move. SPX traded up above that level. Now maybe acting as resistance. Note also this that the SPX was making slightly higher lows before drone pile began to speak. So a slight bullish tilt to the SPX before drone pile began speaking. Here's the reaction to the 10 a.m. PMI data. And drone pile, the initial reaction was bearish moving down and then shifted to bullish. All right, let's take a look at book map now. So in book map, I have my own cloud notes. So I can show SPX levels. So here's the 4,600 call wall. That's SPX 4,600. Note there is a difference in price between ES and SPX. And today it's around eight points. That's what I'm using. So ES minus SPX equals eight. So I'm showing SPX 4,600 at ES 4,608. I also have SPI levels on this chart. So here's the SPI 456, large gamma 2 level. Note that volume was clustered around that level this morning. Price oscillating up and down around that level. That was kind of the launching point for the move higher at 11 a.m. Notice the session volume profile here shown on the far right column showing most of the volume today concentrated around that level. The purple line is also showing the point of control also just above that level. All right, so those are the most important levels for today. The 456 level for SPI and then the 4,600 call wall. The SPI call wall is just above the SPX call wall. All right, shifts and levels for the SP500. I mentioned the put wall for SPX really shifted back to a more normal level. And then for the volatility trigger, it shifted slightly lower to 45,45 today. All right, for SPI, the volatility trigger also shifted lower. And then the put wall also shifted lower to 450. So kind of a more, I typically expect these levels to be like put wall, call wall, absolute gamma strike at the round number levels like the zeros and the fives. All right, so overall you could potentially interpret those shifts lower for the SP500 and slightly bearish. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ now. And, you know, of course, that's all considering positioning yesterday before Jerome Powell spoke today. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ now. This is the NQ futures and book map. And before I take a closer look at this chart, I want to isolate first of all QQQ levels. I'm going to go to a one day, one minute chart for QQQ and note the, let me point out a couple levels and play for today. Here's the volatility trigger. QQQ briefly traded below that level and now is trading above. Above that is the 386 zero gamma level initially acted as resistance. And now price trading above that level. And now price looks like may have found resistance around the 390 level. And 390 is the absolute gamma strike. So that level for QQQ is back in play. All right, let's take a look at NDX now. So NDX below price. This is the call wall absolute gamma strike at 15,280, 15,825. I'm sorry, 15,825 as the absolute gamma strike and the call wall. And then here NDX moved back up to the 16,000 level that has been in play for a while. Trend break. And then the 16,000 level actually that combo level just below that. Then acting as resistance with a retest of that level. Let's go to NASDAQ now in QFutures and book map. Again, I have my own cloud notes. So I can show QQQ levels, NDX levels. And then the round number levels for or the big zeros in the 50s for NQ. So here's the 16,000 level NDX 16,000. And there is a difference in price between NQ and NDX. That moves around quite a bit during the day. I'm using 34. So NQ minus NDX equals 34. That's what I'm using today. And then there's the QQQ 390 level. Also the QQQ 388 and the 387 volatility trigger also in play. Mainly as a launching point for the rally after Jerome Powell began speaking. Alright, there were just minor shifts in levels for the NASDAQ. First of all, the volatility trigger for NDX shifted slightly higher. And then the volatility trigger for QQQ shifted slightly lower. So really overall today, kind of minor shifts in levels, mostly in the volatility triggers. And I'll talk about setups in a few minutes. So as Zari mentions, spot gold hits all-time highs. Anything on the GLD ETF. Well, I'll take a look at that. I'll make a note of it and we'll take a look at GLD. Alright, so based on this, actually, sorry, let me get to... First of all, we need to take a look at Gamma Notional to see how market makers were positioned on the Gamma Curve at the beginning of the day. This is information that's updated once daily. It's available in the Spot Gamma AM Founders Note. I'm going to take a look at a little portion of this data here. This is the Gamma Notional. This is market makers position on the Gamma Curve at the beginning of the day for SPX, SPY, NDX, QQQ, RUT, and IWM. So the SP500, NASDAQ 100, and the Russell 2000. Note all these numbers are positive. For an index, Spot Gamma assumes that traders in a positive Gamma position, traders are short calls, market makers long calls. So they have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure, and that tends to subdue or decrease volatility. So again, all these numbers are negative. A positive, sorry, a positive in a positive Gamma environment, and some shifted higher. All the numbers actually shifted higher, more positive, or in the case of SPY from negative to positive, except for QQQ, which shifted lower but is still positive. All right, so back to positive Gamma across the board. Let's take a look at the VANA model to get a graphical representation of what that means. So this is the SPX VANA model. What this chart is showing is market makers delta notional on the vertical axis and the spot price for SPX on the horizontal axis. There are two curves on this chart. The first, the light gray curve, shows how market makers delta notional may change with changes in price only. The purple curve adds implied volatility to the equation. That shows how market makers delta notional may change with changes in price and implied volatility. And that change in delta with a change in implied volatility is the VANA effect. VANA is the second order Greek. And the purple curve is the one that we want to take a look at. All right, so let's check on current price. For SPX, right around $45.87, somewhere between these two lines, right at the bottom of the curve. So that's showing there's no, at this point at the bottom of the curve, there's really no VANA headwind or tailwind. Now price starts to move, price continues to move up. Market makers will need to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. On the other hand, if price starts to drop, market makers will need to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. Remember, market makers always want to remain delta neutral. Their job is to make markets and manage their risk. All right, so in this case, not much of a VANA headwind or tailwind. Note this V shaped curve is very typical of a positive gamma environment. Let's take a look at SPY. SPY currently trading around $458. Also near the bottom of the curve. So market makers, according to this, will have to sell futures if price drops. Or price increases. Finally, let's take a look at QQQ. QQQ trading around $389. Also close to the bottom of the curve earlier today. Let me check on, let's go back to the daily chart for QQQ. So the bottom was close to $386. No price of the day. So at this point, there has been, there's $386. So a little bit of a VANA tailwind. And remember, gamma notional for QQQ was $41.5, so just slightly positive. So as QQQ has risen today, that indicates that market makers can buy back short futures. So they're trading in the direction of price. And that tends to help, that provides a tailwind for price. All right, let's take a look at some setups now. And I'm going to start by looking at what options traders have been doing. And I'm going to start here. I'm going to talk about the ESP500. We can take a look at the hero signal for the ESP500. ESP500, but this Magnificent 7 has really provided the clue for the move higher today. So let me just explain what this chart is showing. So first of all, this is the hero signal. Hero is hedging impact real-time options. This is available to SpotGamma subscribers. So what we've looked at so far, other than the bookmap charts, has been static data. SpotGamma obtains data from the OCC that is the open interest. They apply their own algorithms to come up with the levels and data that we have been looking at. So that is static data, updated once a day. And this is real-time data. So this is showing market makers, this is showing options trades and market maker hedging activity for a combined signal of SPX, SPY, XSP, and ES futures. Again, all into one combined signal. So the white line on this chart is the SPY price for SPX and the purple line is the hero signal. Again, and that is showing options trades for all those instruments, market maker hedging activity. A rising purple line indicates traders are taking positive delta positions. Let's zoom in on this chart. I'm going to zoom in just so I'm showing the signals from the cash open, which is right here at 9.30 a.m. Eastern time. So what this is showing is just a couple of minutes after 11, the hero signal shifted higher, really just confirming price, indicating traders were taking positive delta positions. So notice they started, so initially they were buying puts. That actually led to a small short set up in the morning starting around 9 a.m. turned out to be not significant compared to the move higher. So right around 11 a.m. traders started buying calls and they started selling puts. Notice the orange line and the blue line moving in the same direction. That's a very powerful signal, powerful directional signal.  It may be just a few trades, large trades. Let me zoom back out. So after that initial thrust higher, it looks like call buyers were really driving price. Notice how as SPX approaches the 4,600 call wall, the call buyers take their foot off the gas. Then around 12.45, 1 o'clock, they start selling calls, now price moving lower. So call buyers really driving price higher.  Now it looks like the call buyers may be coming in again. Alright, that is the SP500. Alright, another signal worth taking a look at is this Magnificent 7. This is another combined signal, in this case combining the options trades, market maker hedging activity for the stocks known as the Magnificent 7, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla, and these stocks make up a very large part of both the SP500 and NASDAQ. So this is a very important signal, it can often provide a leading indication of price. So taking a look at this closely, the hero signal starts to rise around 10.30 before Jerome Powell began speaking. Then it starts to move sharply, wrong tool, starts to move sharply higher after Jerome Powell began speaking. And notice that this combined index for those 7 stocks began to move higher before 11 a.m. So this was actually kind of a leading signal for this move higher. Let's just see what traders were doing. So right around 10.30 they start selling puts, buying a few calls. Then that activity accelerates both the blue line and orange line start moving higher. Note orange for calls, rising orange line indicates traders are buying calls. When traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls and they have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure. And again, just like the SP500, they took the foot off the gas right around the same time as the SP500, taking negative delta positions and price moves lower. Let's go take a look at book map now. And we'll take a look at the setups in both the NASDAQ and SP500. Let's start with SP500. Since the Magnificent 7 signal is a very strong signal for both the SP500 and NASDAQ, let's zoom in. Notice that the, and I pointed this out on the SPX chart, was starting to make higher lows. Initial move down when Jerome Powell began speaking, a retest of this cluster of levels here. This is the SPY 456 pointing control with a dark purple line and then also VWAP, the light blue line. So that cluster of levels, a launching point for the move higher and a very steady mechanical uptrend began with the price targets, I guess the ambitious price targets above the, well, let's see the upper daily expected move, some consolidation of that area. Then the next level up is the 4600 call wall and then above that is the SPY 460 call wall. Let's just check on VIX. Let's go to take a look at today. So VIX was already moving lower before Jerome Powell began to speak at 11. Now rising again overall down slightly for the day, still at very low level, 12.71. Let's take a look at the 10-year. So the 10-year started to move lower, 10 a.m. with the PMI data and then continued that move lower when Jerome Powell began speaking and continues to move lower. This is the 10-year yield. This is the, again, the 10-year note and the yield for the 10-year note now down to 4.22. So a little bit better clue than VIX or additional confirmation of the move. And reading order flow here, the volume dots show market buy minus sell. The magenta dots indicate more sellers than buyers. That's volume delta. Green dots indicate more buyers than sellers. So this retest of this cluster of levels, aggressive buyers start to come in. The dark blue line showing cumulative volume delta increasing. Rising blue line, cumulative volume delta increasing. Also the rising yellow line showing buy stop orders help to feel the move higher. That's very typical. Also this, these on-chart indicators, small green dots indicating buy stop orders fueling the move higher. Notice that large traders are selling the strength with iceberg orders that's shown by this falling light blue line. Alright, that's the SB 500. And Sandman, yes, this is recorded. It should be available on the Bookmap YouTube channel very shortly after my presentation ends. Alright, NASDAQ, very similar setup. Again, we looked at the Magnificent 7 chart being a primary signal for NASDAQ. 10.30 a.m. traders started taking positive delta positions net. And all of those stocks, Magnificent 7 stocks and price moves higher. In this case the launching point for the move was also very similar. Actually, I'm looking at, let's go to NASDAQ, sorry about that. So the launching point for the move higher was the QQQ 387 level and the NQ 15900 level. And noted in this case the rising light blue line was showing that large traders were initially buying the move higher with iceberg orders they used to hide their size. And it took a little while for the aggressive buyers to come in. Note the sharp move higher in the cumulative volume delta and all the green volume dots coming in just after 11.30. I thought the read in the SB 500 ES futures was a little bit easier than the read here in NASDAQ. Alright, let's take a look at some stocks. So the first stock I want to take a look at is Apple. So Apple's been bullish all day and started making higher lows, 10, 10.30, a couple of tests at the 190 level. Let's see what options traders were doing in Apple. So for Apple 190 is the key gamma strike. Let's zoom in on this. Separate outputs and calls. So this is pretty clearly showing that call buyers have been driving price action in Apple. Notice all the flow alerts here indicating significant options activity with the sharp move higher in the call line. So the put line, it's almost flat. Notional value is negative indicating traders are buying puts. The call buyers much more aggressive. When traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls and they have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure. So call buyers clearly driving price higher in Apple today. Let's go back to book map. 190 key gamma strike. Good entry point for long. Not a lot of movement in Apple. Pretty typical, but retested the 190 level and also VWAP. Shown by the light blue line there. That's Apple. Let's take a look at Microsoft. So Microsoft's struggling a little bit today. Let's go take a look at Hero. See what options traders have been doing in Microsoft. So Apple starting the uptrend before Jerome Powell began speaking. Now let's take a look at Microsoft. Separate outputs and calls. This large, this straight vertical line indicates a large institutional block order. Makes the hero signal a little bit different. Makes it a little bit difficult to read. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to zoom just a little bit until that doesn't help. So anyway, net. It was...let's zoom out a little bit. So we're just looking at the first 90 minutes of data or so here. Let's just compare. Notional value. Negative 103 compared to positive 12. So traders were buying calls. Also buying puts, put buyers more aggressive. Especially with this large institutional block order. Helping to drive price lower in Microsoft. So just the opposite of the calls when traders buy puts. Market makers sell the puts. And they have to sell stock to hedge their delta exposure. And so does Ari says, Jerome Powell getting ready to speak again. Alright, so we'll take a look at that in just a moment. Alright, so that's Microsoft going the opposite direction of Apple. Let's go back to BookMap. Alright, so now Microsoft struggling to move up after that start move lower. Let's take a look at Nvidia. So it looks like dip buyers coming in on Nvidia. Initially pretty weak in the morning. Let me make these volume dots a little bigger. Let's go take a look at Book Hero and see what options traders have been doing in Nvidia. Up and down. So initially setting up a short. Note the flow alerts there. Setting up this short. And then 1030. Again 30 minutes before Jerome Powell began speaking. Traders started taking positive delta positions. And price started to move higher. So the dip buyers coming in just before 1030. So initial short. As price reversed at the 470 key gamma strike. We'll take a look at that in BookMap in just a minute. So traders were initially started selling calls that shown by the falling. Falling orange line then started buying puts. And then right around 1015 they stopped buying puts. Started selling puts. And then 1030 they stopped. Stopped selling calls. That was enough to get the price to move higher. So they're selling puts. Stopped selling calls. Then maybe 30 minutes later they started buying calls. And price continued to higher. Let's go back to BookMap. And here's that. Early reversal lower. Right below the 470 strike. Note all the green volume dots here. A lot of aggressive buyers. A lot of traders taking advantage of this weakness in NVIDIA to buy stock. Alright let's take a look at one other stock. Tesla had its Cybertruck event yesterday afternoon. And mostly a bullish reaction to that. Notice again all the green volume dots. A lot of aggressive buyers. Let's take a look at HERO. See what options traders have been doing in Tesla. So pretty much bullish hedging flow in Tesla all day. And just right around the same time as everything else. Options traders took their foot off the gas. Let's zoom in on this. So in this case around 120. Options traders finally took their foot off the gas. Now price is moving lower. Up until then HERO was pretty much steadily trending higher. As well as price. So they up until 115, 120. They were buying calls and selling puts. So the blue line, put line, and the orange line, called line. Both moving in the same direction. Very powerful directional signal. And then just before 130. They start moving lower in the same direction. So instead of a swinging up and down that 130 reversal lower. It looks like it's continuing so far. Alright so that's Tesla. Let's go back to book map. So Tesla reversed at the 240 level. Let's just go back to HERO. So 240 is the key gamma strike. Acting as resistance. Back to book map. No double liquidity at that level. This is the cash open right here. So there were a lot of sellers. That's what the heat map is showing here in book map. A history of the limit orders in the order book. And orders above price indicate limit. Sell orders. That liquidity often acts as a magnet for price. Price made it up to that level. And then started reverse lower. Trend line breaks. Price makes a lower high. As options traders take their foot off the gas. Alright. Sorry I wanted to see GLD. Let's take a look at that. So bullish day in GLD. Decent notional value for GLD. Let's see what traders are doing. So they're buying calls. So traders are buying calls in GLD. Looks like they may have taken their foot off the gas. So again when traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls. And they have to buy stock or buy the underlying. Whatever it is to hedge their delta exposure. Maserati wants to take a look at upstart. Oops I thought that had been fixed. That auto zoom. So there you go. Bullish. Traders are buying calls. Showing by the rising orange line. So very pretty good move. In UPST. Looks like from 26 up to over 31 today. Very nice move. In UPST. Note the very timely flow alert here. If you were watching this stock. So Maserati says calls went up 45,000%. Yeah I can believe it. Yeah if you bought a call in upstart today. Obviously doing pretty well. So traders are really. The last few days have been. Seems like they've been rotating out of. The magnificent seven. Into a lot of other areas of the market that are doing well. All right. Thanks slow to Zari and. Maserati for these suggestions both. Both looking good today. All right. Let's circle back. IWM also. We can take a look at that. So the hedging flow for IWM. Has shifted negative. Right around 12 o'clock this. Large block order institutional order there. Taking negative delta positions. As IWM has approached its. It's 185 call wall. Check the SB 500. Now options traders starting to take. Positive delta positions again. In the SB 500. Here we're starting to shift up. Let's go take a look at book map looks like the. SPX not responding so far. Let's go take a look at book map. So he has back to its upper daily expected move. Check NASDAQ. All right. NASDAQ also is trying to move higher. Let's check the what the magnificent seven. All right. Slow Zari mentions Amazon. All right. So slow Zari says Amazon. In space X deal. Excuse me. So. I'll have to look at that. That could be interesting. So space X of course. Is Elon Musk. I guess space exploration company. And then Amazon has blue origin. So I'll take a look at that so far. Not a lot of response in Amazon. And toss and ask what's your interpretation of divergence. And hero signals. Between IWM. And spy S&P 500. Or is it common to see I don't look at IWM every day. So. I really can't say I look at. Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ every day. All right. Thank you. Thanks for posting that news. All right. So as far as the divergence in hero signals. Between IWM S&P 500. Again I can't answer that. For sure. I don't look at IWM every day. I think. IWM is not necessarily. As strongly driven. By options trades. As. Of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Let's go back to the S&P 500. And let's check the hero signal for the magnificent seven. So what I check. The primary signals that I check. First of all the S&P 500. Showing the combined signal for S&P X, spy X, S&P. And ES futures. Magnificent seven. Again that combined signal. For those seven stocks. And then the NASDAQ. Which is combining. NDX and QQQ. Into one signal. All right. Slow Desiree post the news. Amazon signed contract with space X. For three Falcon 9 launches. Okay. Interesting. Thank you. Thanks for posting that. All right. Last call for stocks. My time is up. Book map. All right everyone. My time is up. I want to thank you very much for watching. Thank you for your questions and comments. Stock suggestions. Have a great weekend. And I will see you on Monday. All right. Caleb with a late request for Meta. We'll take a look in book map. And bullish afternoon here for Meta. Coming back to it. Looks like it's close to its opening print. All right. I'm going to wrap it up. Thank you very much. And again have a great weekend. And I will see you on Monday. Bye.


So, we are going to start the next session. This section is on how you can use map technology tools with the learning objectives and with the purpose basically the session is titled digital blooms taxonomy. The session objectives are at the end of the session participants will be able to identify a list identify or list digital tools that are useful for students inside and outside class apply a digital taxonomy to map learning outcomes to use prescribed digital tools. So, consider this scenario there is this classroom A where the teacher uses a standard deliver or an instructional type of strategies and where the learning style is basically auditory or read and write that means students listen to what the teacher is saying and then copy notes or basically the student involvement is passive that means they are told about the content or the processes that are involved in the lecture and technology use is very minimal to the level that it is either learning about the technology if it is a technology course or is it is augmentative that means you use you use a technology to teach with that means you can use a power point or projectors so it is limited to that. Now consider classroom B where the teaching style of the instructor is project and problem based which comes under the constructionist strategies and the students have multiple learning styles and they display multiple intelligence that means they are very much involved they create contents develop and evaluate the processes and the technology is used in a transformative way. For example, they may upload multimedia files they might go and do experiments hands on use hardware if it is an electronic related subject so things like that. So, there are these two classrooms in place classroom A the traditional and classroom B a bit modern so according to you which classroom will be more useful for student learning classroom A or classroom B or it may be that you will have an idea that both are equally good so participants please vote your option so RCC you can convey the option through a view poll so option number 1 is that classroom A will be more useful option number 2 classroom B will be more useful or option number 3 both are equally good. So, I have seen the chat so there is a there is a vast majority who say 2 and there are some who say it is 3 both are equally good which is good which is good for the next activity ok the responses are coming I see lot of 2's a 3 is coming in between ok. So, the opinion is more or less divided between 2 and 3 so which means that we need to have a debate so my instruction to RCC is make 2 groups A and B within your remote center group a participant have to list will be voting for classroom A so they will have to list points which say that classroom A is better group B participants have to list points which say classroom B is better so you have 5 minutes to do this entire activity so RCC you are requested to group the participants so make 2 groups group A and group B so I am able to view some of the videos of the remote centers yes so I see a instructor a remote center coordinator grouping these people and explaining the instructions so group A you will have to list points which say classroom A is better and group B will have to list points why classroom B is better so classroom B is your new classroom wherein the style is entirely changed and there is more use of technology and classroom A is your traditional classroom so you just need to identify 2 points so I am seeing responses coming in from the remote centers coordinator you just have to convey just 2 main points for both classroom A and classroom B I have got a response which says that classroom A is better for mathematical concepts which need just derivation where you write you write derivations and the students also follow it along with you and the second point was on simple theoretical concepts which needs direct instruction delivery from the instructor any points on classroom B so from another remote center I have so students are more involved so there are points for class A where they say that students interact and involve more in classroom A class B gives a feel of learning with the use of animation and videos an interesting one classroom A economical so there is a large opinion that problematic concepts subjects can be easily taught or subjects which involve problems or mathematical formulas can be easily taught in classroom A classroom B is needed for interactive learning so what we will do now is we will just so more or less most of the people are saying the same thing so I will just summarize some of the limitations of classroom A even though the points that you have mentioned were are quite right so limitation of classroom A is that at the end of the day it is teacher's entry means that you have you do not focus on the learner too much and there is too much of content orientedness content orientedness of these class and the instruction is assessment focused and predominantly targeting lower order thinking skills in the classroom so what we have or what we have in regular universities we say that there is a timetabled learning plus homework which will constitute the entire learning experience for a learner but in a classroom B since the strategies involve problem solving or are project based or use active strategies we see that the entire instruction is student centric so the learning focus is more on the process and embedded content so the content is embedded along with the process which means that students will be able to reach higher order thinking skills within the classroom activity and learning is anywhere anytime activity unless unlike a timetable so 9 to 10 you study computer science 10 to 11 you study mechanics so unlike that you have a anywhere anytime learning which will benefit the learner a lot more so what we want is a switch from classroom A to classroom B that means from a traditional to the 21st century classroom because you are at the end in a 21st century where students are more native to the use of technology which means that as a teacher you need to switch from a 21st your traditional teaching style to a 21st century teaching so that students use digital tools and are able to reach higher order thinking skills within the classroom so what characterizes a 21st century learner or why we need to shift to a 21st century learning there are multiple multimedia resources available right now students do parallel processing and multi-tasking they are more keen on the picture or the multimedia that means pictures videos and sound more than text and all of them are networked with many others making them comfortable equally in virtual and real spaces and for them for a 21st century learner learning is relevant as in they need to know what they are supposed to do it needs to be instantly useful and it has to be fun so it leads us to the idea of digital learning tools or technologies that support 21st century learning so these technologies support both the processes and actions with the technologies and it will contain cognitive elements as well as methods and tooling so what we mean by this is that the activities that we design with digital learning tools will have inherent cognitive levels that you saw earlier in the Bloom's taxonomy while doing the learning objectives and what it does is it facilitates creation communication and collaboration both within and outside the classroom so recall you had used Bloom's taxonomy earlier from lower order recall or remember to the higher order creating level so for technology tools we do have a taxonomy based on the purpose in which the tool is used this taxonomy is called the digital Bloom's taxonomy and it has the exact same levels remembering to creating so we will now see what constitutes the remembering to creating how these classification has emerged so you see it is on the learning activity so if you are not able to see the text please do not worry because this is going to be detailed in the coming slides so every technology has a purpose and it has to be used with on a specific activity and this learning activity decides the level in which the technology is being used so there is a question why digital digital because we are using the ICT tools which are digital tools at the end of the day so we now look at one individual level so a simple example we will go through examples and of activities and also the tools various tools which are used at individual level so let us see the slide what you see over here is an image so the specific technology tool that we use is a labeled image and it is used for listing or identifying parts and this comes in the remembering level so the picture is that of a labeled cycle so you see a cycle and all the parts have been labeled in it and what this facilitates is is to see the different parts or identify the different parts of the particular cycle so there is a small activity it will not take more than 30 seconds on the left hand side I have some technologies which are listed and on the right hand side I have some specific learning activities for which the technology can be used so within the RCC each of you have to match the learning the technology with the learning activity so you have 30 seconds to do this activity okay I see many remote centers have come up with the right answer so it is power point is used for bullet pointing one note is used for note taking delicious is a bookmarking software or a tool google is used for searching so you saw how the tool and how the purpose are being matched over here so these are a list of tools and their purposes at a remembering level so for bullet pointing you can use power point mind map flashcards that can be highlighting for which you can use the word processor that means ms word for searching you can use the google bing yahoo meta search for note taking you can use google keep one note simple note so there are and this list is not exhausted you can add different more examples but ultimately it the level will be only simple remembering where they just list identify or do low level the lowest level cognitive task so remember the videos that we were showing you across entire workshop this video was used to explain content and this purpose comes under the understanding level within the digital blooms taxonomy that means when you show content using video when you explain content using video the video tool is used in the understanding level so within understanding you will have so you have some more purposes or the learning activities which are here you can have advanced searches where you search for particular expressions like boolean searches or blogging commenting as using twitter or forums annotating using a medley or adobe reader or subscribing to rss feeds or aggregators so all these tasks come under the understanding level within the digital blooms taxonomy so let us have one more small activity this is called brain race you saw examples of technology tool and learning activity at understanding level given below are learning activities at understanding level that is summarizing classifying and comparing you have to think of tools that you know will facilitate the understanding level within the digital blooms taxonomy so you have 30 seconds at the end of 30 seconds you share this with your rcc and rcc will have to share two tools for each purposes from your center so you have to specify tools which can be used for summarizing classifying or comparing so a lot of you have shared that for a ppt can be used for summarizing or ms word for comparing you can use excel origin or even word flow charts and bar charts for summarizing which is good it is a visual summary of the information so tree diagrams graphs digital images which is good so you have an understanding about the understanding level now let us move to the third phase which is the applying level so this image is known to all of you so this is ms excel the technology tool of ms excel which is used for calculation and representation so for example if the teacher gives an ms excel with pre-written formulas and macros in it and student just have to enter data into it and the excel sheet gives you representations calculations and representation then the teacher as a teacher you are using ms excel in the level of applying so if you remember at the applying level you just implement carry out or execute processes using the technology so in this in this particular example we had students just enter the data into the excel and the excel itself showed the representation and did the calculations for the students hence we say that the learning activity of using excel in this particular case is at applying level so let us look at some more applying level operations there is running loading and operating which means if they are you are installing programs or operating systems they are there is playing as in games the visualizations or games like second life hacking as in ethical hacking using armitage or tools like that uploading and sharing wherein you use a google drive or a dropbox or one drive or even editing using google docs or ms word or photoshop wherein you know what exactly you have to enter so the learning activities which use these kind of operations or these kind of learning activities are said to be at applying level so we now move to a small activity it will take three minutes it is the think pair activity so first you have to think individually about a technology tool that you can use in the in your own course at applying level share this with a peer to share both the tool and the learning activity to get feedback about it so rccs can share one or two such tool and purposes within using the aview chat so take time to think individually about the technology tool and also most importantly the learning activity because that defines whether it is at applying level or or any uh different one so things like smart class are too broad so you will have to specify what exactly you are doing within smart class if you want to categorize it at apply level okay clicker this is a good example as in they use the students use clicker in classrooms for peer instruction so what the remote center has not specified is the learning activity so what you have so clickers when used for peer instruction just for entering the choice it is the use of technology or apply application of the technology and hence it is it is at the digital blooms apply level so I see a lot of technologies being entered but what we want is technology and the learning activity again stress the point of learning activity because that is what classifies whether the technology is used at the right level so let me take this particular example simulation software for programming again simulations can be used at higher levels so if if it is already known program or you are using it for a debugging purpose or for teaching the classroom then that simulations software will be at apply level okay there is this example geojibra for drawing graphs using equations so you enter the equations the equations are already given to the students and geojibra is just representation for the equations in that sense it is at apply level okay there is one more example where they say it is use of flash tool to execute algorithms so this is at apply level so there is an already existing algorithm and you use the tool to just execute that particular algorithm which is right latex to prepare various docs may may be at apply level but what is important is are you creating latex right from the start so are you using existing templates or are you creating templates on your own so basically the summary is that you will have to specify the learning activity to qualify to see whether your tool use qualify under the apply level within the digital bloom taxonomy so you already saw some examples now we move to the analyzing level so this what you see over here is a fed simulation game wherein students are given a problem you have to create a total area of 18 and you have these particular tiles to use to create that particular to build your area so what is important over here is the fed simulation game is used for both finding and integrating finding the correct the smallest block which can fit in and also integrating that entire into that particular square so that it becomes 18 so it goes beyond mere application of the tool which is the simulation to more a more higher cognitive level which which is quite similar to the analyzing level within the bloom taxonomy and since it is a game it is also an interesting exercise for the students as it motivates them to complete the task so some of the common tools and their methods at analyze level are shown here so mashing can be done through google maps or google earth surveying through google forms or survey monkey linking databases so for linking databases spreadsheets cmap which you saw today morning which is a concept map tool for i mean cmap is a tool for concept mapping for tagging you have evernotes and tables for reverse engineering you have tumorang or olidbg so these are some tools and the purposes for which these technology tools are used to fit at analyzing level so now we will do a think pair share activity first think individually about a technology tool that you can use in the course at analyzing level within the digital bloom taxonomy you can take one minute so this now you are trying to fit in your course you are trying to fit the tool in your course at analyze level so you don't need to share it through chat you have to think on your own so now we move to the pair phase where each of you have to pair with a neighbor who is in a similar domain or a similar topic of yours and share your choice of tool and description about the learning activity that you want to do with that tool so in the pair phase share the tool that you are going to use and description about the learning activity you don't need to share it at this moment share phase will explicitly come so now we move to the share phase where RCC you can take two answers from your remote center and share it through the a view chat so the answer should contain the technology tool and the learning activity at analyze level okay so I will share some of the interesting answers that came up to know the pollution using satellite imagery which is a good I mean it may go even but it is a good task you are using a tool of satellite images and you are analyzing pollution based on some already existing I mean pattern for the pollution different types of pollutions okay there is another surveying using LMS so you surveying using LMS at the most usual surveys is actually is at an apply level because you just execute the survey but if it is like creation of the questions that you need to insert in the survey then it is at an analyze level google maps for site analysis good example flow and fluid flow analysis so I am I am hoping that so the basic idea within analysis is that it should go beyond mere use of the tool there should be some specific activity wherein it goes beyond general execution or implementation so we now move to the evaluating phase so you see this technology is your MS word and the specific activity is reviewing so for example as a teacher if you have to review an assignment report of your student you can use this particular functionality of MS word wherein you give your comments using track changes so some other purposes or learning activities which are at evaluating level are commenting and posting moderating networking refactoring and testing and these are some of the tools which can be used for this purpose so at an evaluate level what it means is that tool provides them with facility to decide on something and think about something and give a judgment about the activity so now we move directly to the creating level and this is a screenshot of a wiki this is the ET repository wiki which we will be using within this workshop the remote center coordinators have already been given logins to this wiki so one specific activity for which wiki can be used at create level is portfolio creation now portfolio creation can be both done by the teacher and the student where they display what is essential about themselves using wiki features you can link to activities you can upload multimedia files and link them in a single wiki page to show the portfolio of yourself so you either as a teacher and if you want to see specific activities done by students within a course you can create individual course portfolios for the students and this particular activity learning activity of portfolio creation is at create level where students have to do much more than judgment or much more than analysis but they have to present something on their own so some of the tools which are used for creating are either programming tools technology tools which assist in filming and animating which is used for blogging and wikis for publishing videocast or podcast or even screencast for that matter and some modeling tools so what we will do right now is summarize this session so some of the recommendations that you can see that came up across the discussion is that you always have to tie the use of the tool to specific learning content and outcome that means the purpose for you to see at what level or for you to use it within your course first give students an opportunity to gain exposure to the tool before any assignment with the tool provide help manuals and tutorials on using the tool if the tool is new provide mechanisms for students to get feedback from peers teaching assistants and lecturer so in normal university college I mean in university system there may not be a concept of teaching assistants but teaching assistants are people who help the professors in carrying out instruction so basically for normal colleges you should ensure that the tool you get feedback about the use of tool from your peers and also from the lecturer if you are giving it to a student so in summary we see that digital tools are useful for students to use in both inside and outside of class to create communicate and collaborate now blooms revised digital taxonomy it just allows us to map the learning outcomes to the use of digital tools so you already have learning outcomes or learning objectives that you have already created and you have a technology tool for which you create the you identify the purpose now blooms taxonomy the digital taxonomy allows us to map these two so that comes to the end of this session

In this video I want to go over solution stoichiometry. So we're going to talk about how we use these dilution units that we've learned about in the solutions chapter in calculations. So first of all as a review I just want to go over real quickly what molarity is. Molarity denoted by a uppercase m is a term that we use to describe the number of moles of our solute in one liter of solution. So molarity is equal to moles of solute over liter of solution. This is molarity and this is what you'll come into contact with during solution stoichiometry problems. So let's look at a quick example. Here we have a 5.5 molar hydrochloric acid solution. So what does that mean? Well if it says it's 5.5 molar then that means we have 5.5 moles of HCl in one liter of solution. And we can also write this in a different way. We can say that there are 5.5 moles in one liter of solution. Now you'll notice that this is an equality. An equality is something that we use in conversions. Remember in equality we can get two conversion factors from every equality. Conversion factor is simply writing an equality in the form of a fraction. So our two conversion factors from this equality would be 5.5 moles over one liter or one liter over 5.5 moles. Now we'll use these conversion factors to answer a question similar to this. If we're asked to convert 10 liters of a 5.5 molar HCl solution to moles, let's say I wanted to make 10 liters of a hydrochloric acid solution that had a concentration of 5.5 molar. How many moles of HCl do I need in order to do this? In order to set up this conversion we find out. Look at the problem and determine what it gives us. So it tells us that we have 10 liters of solution. This is what we're wanting to make or this is what we're wanting to convert from. We're going to multiply that 10 liters by a conversion factor that will allow us to convert to moles of HCl. Now since we know that our solution is 5.5 molar, we're going to pick one of these two conversion factors in order to complete this conversion. So the conversion factor that we're going to pick is this first one. It's going to go right here. Now why did we pick that conversion factor? We picked it so that our units cancel out. You've got solution, leaders of solution here, leaders of solution here. Those variables will cancel out. The only unit that we're left with is moles of HCl and that's what we're trying to convert to over here. So you take your 10 multiplied by 5.5 and then divide by one and we find that we need 55 moles of HCl in order to make 10 liters of a 5.5 molar HCl solution. So this is just the introduction to using molarity in these stoichiometric problems. Let's look at a little bit more difficult problem to solve. So we have 0.025 liters of a potassium chloride solution that has a molarity of 0.500 molar. And we're going to add this solution to a silver nitrate solution according to this reaction. And we want to know what mass of silver chloride will we form by adding this potassium chloride solution. What you'll notice here from our balanced equation is that we have potassium chloride and aqueous soluble salt. We're adding that to silver nitrate, also an aqueous soluble salt, to form potassium nitrate, aqueous soluble salt, and silver chloride. But silver chloride is insoluble so it forms an insoluble salt that will precipitate out of solution. What I want to know is if I add this 0.025 liters of potassium chloride to my silver nitrate, how much silver chloride can I form from this reaction? So the first step is we need to determine a pathway to answering this question. We're given the volume of potassium chloride in our question. It tells us that we're adding 0.025 liters of this potassium chloride solution. It also gives us the molarity of the potassium chloride solution. So we can convert from volume of potassium chloride to moles of potassium chloride. In order to do this conversion, the conversion factor that we're going to use is similar to the one that we used here. It's the conversion factor from that equality which tells us how many moles of solute are in a liter of solution. So in order to answer this conversion, we use the molarity of the potassium chloride that it gives us in the problem. However, this does not answer the problem. We have to do yet another conversion. So from moles of potassium chloride, we can then convert to moles of silver nitrate, or I'm sorry, silver chloride. This is what we're eventually wanting to get to. If we know the number of moles of potassium chloride, we can convert to the number of moles of silver chloride using our mole to mole ratio. Like I said, in order to do this conversion, we're going to use the mole to mole ratio which comes from our balanced equation. This gives us the moles of silver chloride that we can produce from this reaction, but yet once again, that does not solve our problem because the problem asks what mass of silver chloride we're going to need or we're going to form in this reaction. So we have a third conversion. We can go from moles of silver chloride to mass, mass of silver chloride. Any time we're going from moles of a compound to mass of that same compound, we're going to use the molar mass of that compound for this conversion. The molar mass comes directly from the periodic table. In order to determine the molar mass of silver chloride, you're going to get the mass, the molar mass, or the atomic mass of silver from the periodic table and add that to the atomic mass of chlorine also from the periodic table. So let's start this conversion here. We've got 0.025 liters of our potassium chloride solution. Our first conversion factor, we're going to use molarity of that potassium chloride solution in order to solve for the number of moles of KCl. So the molarity of the potassium chloride from our original problem is 0.500 molar. That also means it's 0.500 moles of potassium chloride per liter, moles per liter. You'll see that our liter here cancels out with liter and the value that we're left with is moles of potassium chloride. From this reaction, we find that a half molar solution of potassium chloride with a volume of 0.025 liters gives us 0.0125 moles of potassium chloride. That's our first conversion. Our second conversion will start with the answer to our last conversion. And for this conversion, we need to convert from moles of potassium chloride to moles of silver chloride. We've already said in order to do this, we're going to use the mole-to-mol ratio coming from our balanced chemical equation. Here's our balanced chemical equation, the coefficients that go in front of each reactant and product is what tells us our mole-to-mol ratio. You will see here that one mole of potassium chloride will produce one mole of silver chloride. So that is our mole-to-mol ratio of potassium chloride to silver chloride, is a 1-to-1 ratio. This is going to be our second conversion factor here. One mole of potassium chloride can form one mole of silver chloride. So in order to solve for this equation, we take our 0.0125 moles of potassium chloride, we multiply it by one and then divide by one. And our units that cancel out are going to be our moles of potassium chloride. So this time we are solving for moles of silver chloride. When we solve this conversion, we find it's equal to 0.0125 moles of silver chloride. And then finally, our last conversion, I'm going to start with the answer to our previous 0.0125 moles of silver chloride. We need to convert moles of silver chloride to grams of silver chloride. Like I said, you are going to use the molar mass for this conversion to go from moles of a compound to mass of the same compound. The molar mass of silver chloride is 143.4 grams of silver chloride per mole of silver chloride. This is going to make up our third conversion factor. 143.4 grams of silver chloride per one mole. Look at our units that cancel out once again, moles of silver chloride cancel out with moles of silver chloride. The unit we are left with is the unit that we are looking for which is our mass or our gram value of silver chloride. We take our 0.0125 moles. Let's apply that by 143.4, then divide by 1, and we find that we can make 1.79 grams of silver chloride when we add 0.025 liters of potassium chloride that has a molarity of 0.500 molar. Hopefully this helps with your calculation questions coming from the solutions chapter dealing with stoichiometry of solutions.


Hi there! My name is Sandy Alnok. Welcome to my YouTube channel where today I'm starting the third day coloring challenge but I'm going to do something a little different. I'm going to do Bible art journaling. I have been wanting to test out mediums in my Bible for a long time and this month is going to be my excuse to do it.  So I'm going to post them on Instagram. This is the only one that's going to be on YouTube and if you want to follow the journey on Instagram you can do that. You can also follow me on Periscope because once in a while I will do a Periscope and if you have questions about what I've learned thus far I'll see what I can do to answer some of those for you and links for all that are in the description down below. I'm using my Ph Martin's Hydrus Watercolors and these are a watercolor that I discovered did not go through the back of the page which I know is a really big deal for a lot of people and it's a fairly big deal for me. I want to maintain the integrity of the word and be able to see the words that are on the page. Some people have a separate journaling Bible like I do and they figure it doesn't matter if you can't see it. For me it does matter just because of the integrity of the word. I want to be able to have it be read by someone who looks at my art journal. I want them to be able to see the scripture and be able to read it while they're looking at the artwork. So I will be focusing on trying to figure out what kinds of mediums and styles and things that we can use in our Bible journaling. I know there's lots of people who have lots of information so I'll be doing research as well and I will do a summary video in March sometime and I'll share what I've learned and some resources for you and some places that you can get some of the things that I find so stay tuned for a big wrap up at that time. But I saw some people on Periscope who were painting flowers. They were doing these beautiful whimsical doodly flowers at the top of a Bible page and I think they were going to do hashtag paint all the flowers and so this is my attempt to paint all the flowers. What I decided to do was paint them first and add my linear doodling later. So I'm just really loosely painting on flowers not getting really crazy with it and you can see I can heat set in the middle. So I'm going to dry this and when I flip it over you'll see that the paint does not go through except for a little spot where the purple kind of leaked around the edge of the paper. So I'll clean off my mat and put it back down and add more flowers. The hydrous watercolors don't lift so anything I paint layers on top of what's already there so that's one of the fun things about them you can start with really soft colors and then add bolder accents there's lots of different things you can do. I'm staying away from using the dark colors over top of the scriptures just because I want to make sure that the words can be read but you can even use the dark colors but with a really light wash and soften them out. So I'm adding more details to my flowers just having a lot of fun painting beautiful bright tearful flowers on this. The Bible that I'm using is one that I found on Amazon it was very rare so translate rare too expensive and the reason it was expensive is because it's a particular translation that my pastor uses and I thought since I have a couple other translations it would be interesting to have the one that the pastor likes and I can follow along in that kind of a way with him and it has lines down the side there are some Bibles that don't have lines down the side but if you look for note-taking Bibles or journaling Bibles usually you can find one that has either more column space in the center or around the edges or down the sides all different kinds of things with or without lines so find one that works for you and just know that they're all going to be for the most part Bible paper there are some books that they kind of have scriptures in them or they only have things printed on one side those I consider more of journals rather than an actual Bible so you can get something like that you can get even just a plain journal and journal your scriptures in there you don't have to do it in a Bible just do it that's the only thing there is to it is just to do it but I wanted to do it on Bible paper I thought that would be a really beautiful way to create a book where the word of God comes alive so I'm just adding a lot of beautiful greens in here before I get ready to start doing the journaling part just making the leaves so they the whole cascade of flowers just comes down from the top of the page now all watercolor basically is going to wrinkle paper that's just what happens so don't look for mediums that aren't going to wrinkle your paper if you add any water so what I do is take two pieces of cardstock put one on the bottom and one on the top and slap an iron on that baby I put it on full strength and just for you know 20 or 30 seconds flatten that sucker out perfectly it works really really well and you can do this with most watercolors if you have watercolors that have mica in them any kind of thing that shimmers just know that it might stick to that top sheet because that mica will melt so you'll either want to use a lower heat setting I guess or you can try just doing it a little bit less and or maybe even just do it from the back side so less of the heat gets onto the mica not sure how exactly to solve that but just be careful if you have shiny things on your page or if you're using shiny inks so that's why I decided I would go ahead and do the ironing before the pen work so I'm using the illustrated faith pen that they sell and going around the edges of my flowers this allows me to make my whimsical doodling either match or not match my painting I can make my lines go outside of it I can go inside of it I can scribble I can make them loose there's a ton of different things I can do now that I have my painting done and I'm a little bit freer to be able to do crazy things with my drawing like if you've taken my whimsical sketching class that's an opportunity to learn how to sketch and just get loose with things and in that class we're using the multi-liners and that sort of thing so please don't take that class thinking that I tell you that a sharpie is going to work in here because a sharpie will definitely go through so you want to experiment with some other pens and as I said next month I'm going to have a big wrap up of all the things that I've learned so I'll share the pens that I find that work I'll be trying a lot of different stuff out a lot of different paints and things different coloring mediums and let you know what I discover over time so be sure to join me on instagram and periscope and back here on youtube later on so you want to be sure to subscribe and have the email sent to you so you can be the first to know when stuff comes out so I'm going around my flowers but some of them I'm going with just one layer around them just loosely around the outside edge others kind of doubling up the lines just to make them looser and more whimsical and it makes for a very nice pattern of flowers so now I'm going to stamp meet and tangle came out with some fun stamps so I'm going to do I've got that joy joy joy joy down in my heart and I'm going to use this secondary set along with some stuff that I got from my friends over at SRM stickers they've come out with some Bible related things and I thought I would use the blessed stamp so I'm going to use that in combination with some of the words from the meet and tangle set and check that out I took a piece of scratch paper and I stamped it out not in the colors that I'm going to use but I stamped it out so I know what I'm doing and have a plan and if I do any lettering in my Bible I do that as well I kind of sketch it out somewhere else so that I can plan where I want it on the page and what it's going to look like and have a little better idea what I do I'm stamping in a real pigment inks and these seem to do pretty well as far as not bleeding through aside from a little bit of show through on the word blessed I'll show you in just a few minutes I think the reason is because it's a heavier stamp meaning the lines are thicker so on anything where you have thicker lines I chose for this particular one knowing that a little bit of that ankle show through I chose a lighter color if you want to use some darker colors just use them in smaller areas and smaller stamps with thinner lines so here's the finished page to which I will add a little journaling down there at the bottom things that God has blessed me with but I wanted to show you also the back side of this you can see the only purple came through was the stuff that bled around the top edge of the paper when I was painting and a little tiny bit of the blessed seems to show through but not very much and that is because it's a heavier stamp so just use some lighter colors and you'll be good to go on this section here it's nice that I can still read the words that are underneath I was very excited that after it was all said and done and dried I could still read the scriptures and that is one of the things that was important to me so here's a couple other videos if you're interested in seeing some other stuff that I have done in the faith realm in particular because I like to do some posts related to my faith and if you'd like to see those click on them you can hit the subscribe button to get more videos from me I put out three a week or thereabouts sometimes more if you're lucky and I will see you out there on instagram periscope patreon all over the place
