Hey guys, how are you today? All righty, so those of you who followed me on social media know that For all of 2016 I did daily sketches or doodles and for the last couple of months starting in November, I did, I'm sorry October, I did Inktober and then I started, which prompted me to start doing daily drawing again, and I've been doing it ever since. This is, this is my daily drawing kit, the way it is right now. It lives by the sofa. I have the zipper pouch, which has got an elastic band on it, and it's attached to a mini clipboard. And I've got a couple of sketchbooks in here, one that I'm trying to finish up and then the new one for January. I recently asked my friend Shannon Green if she had a smaller custom keeper with the new little tool insert that she's been making that would fit my little sketchbook journals, and she said, yes, of course, I do. I'll send you one. So she sent me this. I got it the other day. I don't need this as a receipt. She sent me this. Now if you don't know, these are made out of old vinyl billboards. So when you get them, the covers, each one's going to have different, you know, writing or pictures or colors or whatever on it. No two are exactly the same and there are two pieces of vinyl billboard fused together. So it's pretty thick and sturdy. It can be painted and collaged on. I actually have one that I've done that to and it's held up pretty well. I think for this one, for the moment, I'm going to leave it plain. I could always change my mind later, but I think for the moment I like to leave it plain. I kind of like the look of the plain natural billboard and I kind of like the writing on the front on this side here. So more likely than not, this is going to be the front for me. When you get them, it comes with directions for restringing because it comes with the elastic untied. This is like a traveler's notebook style cover, one that you can replace the notebooks in as you use them up. This is her new tool insert. I don't know at this moment as I'm filming this what she's going to call this. I have no idea. It comes with elastic threaded already through it in these toggles on either side so that you can make your loops tighter or looser depending on what kind of tools you're sticking in the loops. There's plenty of loops in here to actually have me get all of my writing implements that are in here in the loops. It does make the notebook a little bulky to actually open it and sketch on. I know that because I have a bigger one and the notebook I actually sketch in is drawing because I did some inky stuff to the background, but I only have a few tools in this one and this is for me probably I wouldn't do both sides for me because then that makes it really too puffy to like when you want to sketch on this side it makes it too hard to sketch on so you'd have to actually take the notebook out. So we're going to see what I can do and about putting this together and trying. I really really want to try it. I don't know that I'm ready because of the bulky nature of it to give up my pouch yet or all the tools that are in it so I may see if I can store the notebooks in here and like my main pens and then maybe this whole thing can be clipped to the back of the pouch with the elastic band something like that. So I'm going to speed forward through the process and when I end up doing and I'll be right back. We're ready to get rid of things than I thought I was. I decided not to use the pouch at all. I did transfer my charms. These are actually cell phone charms that I've picked up you know along the way at Daiso and I think the little pink one Cindy Utter probably sent to me and I like I like having them on here. I like the Jingle Bells. So what I'm noticing with both of these custom keepers and having that tool accessory accessory in there when I first tried to fill actually the other one up when I first got it I had stuff on both sides and if you want to actually work in it and you don't want to have to take your journal out all the time you don't want to do that it makes it too puffy. So I would only recommend filling the inside or the outside. I prefer the inside. I have all of my things I need in here. I did have a small watercolor palette in here. Honestly I haven't used it in here at all. It's a cute little palette and I'm not going to get rid of it but it's got some Daniel Smith paints in here but I like using these Bible Gel High Gliders in this journal. I've got a water brush because these can be pushed around with water when you first put them down. So water brush, Stabilo All Pencil. Also the water brush can move that around and I have a couple of white gel pens. My Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen. I do have a beautiful Fancy Fountain Pen which I could put in here if I'm so inspired. I could pull this one out and put that one in. And a couple of Bic Crystal Plano Ballpoint Pens. The Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen, the Stabilo All Pencil, all of the Bible Gel High Gliders, and this darker, thicker 1.6 millimeter Bic Crystal Pen are all able to be pushed around with the water at least when you first put them down before they dry. So because of that I don't really need to carry the watercolor paints or other coloring materials with me because I can just use these. It works. And the one water brush, I had three in here. I don't know why I had three in here. I don't really need that. So whether I'm just taking it out to the sofa or I'm grabbing it to go because I'm going out of the house somewhere and I want to take it with me to do my daily sketching, this is going to work really well. It's all contained. I can just grab it and go. I love that and I do carry a handbag that's big enough actually to fit this in there. So Shannon Green's Custom Keepers, they're fabulous. I'm going to put the link to her store in the description below. And Daily Drawing, it's good creative practice if you're so inspired. I do recommend it. There's a lot of different places on the internet. You can get daily prompts with. The one I'm using at the moment is Draw Riot Daily. I will try to remember to link their website in the description below and they monthly put out a list of prompts, art prompts. And I'm doing January's right now. I am doing some bonus words because I have a journal here I have to fill up. This one from the last few months has a couple of extra pages in it. So yeah, I'm going to be working on filling that up. But I did, and this one I did, Art Journal Habit prompts. They have prompts from Art Joy of Sharing and then also I did Draw Riot Daily. But there's a lot of places on the internet that have daily art prompts including my own Facebook group that I teach in with a few friends called My Creative Year. We do daily random words that you could of course do as a drawing or sketch. That's it for right now. Think about shopping in Shannon's store if you're into journaling and art art and daily drawing. These are really fabulous and you know if you are the creative type think about trying to incorporate something creative even if it's a quick sketch. We won't show that one on camera. Even if it's some kind of quick sketch something easy let's see acorns in a star. It doesn't have to be complicated. Five minutes. None of these have taken more than ten minutes. All of these are done with a pen. There is no pencil involved and they were all super quick sketches. So anyway do something creative daily. It's good for the soul. I'm a firm believer in that and above all besides like sharing and subscribing supporting my channel and the free content here and over on Facebook by leaving a tip in my tip jar or shopping on my Amazon wish list one of those. The links for all of those are in my link tree link which is in the description below along with Shannon's store and everything else I've mentioned. But above all that the most important thing is go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.


I was handed a document containing charges against an 18-year-old shooting here in Vermont. Just two days earlier, I witnessed the atrocity in Parkland, Florida, 17 innocent people, 14 children, and three teachers dead. As I read 13 page affidavit, I was alarmed to learn just how close we came to the same tragic fate the people of Parkland faced. The details were shocking as a young man had been planning this shooting undetected for months. Dad, what I would describe as a kill list, and had researched the high school's calendar to know the best time to carry out his plan, which he detailed in a diary entitled The Journal of an Active Shooter. His goal was to have more kills than the Virginia Tech shooting. As a reminder, Virginia Tech had 32 deaths, 32 innocent victims who were murdered. As I process this information, I was shocked. Just 24 hours before, even in the aftermath of Bath of Parkland, I thought as the safest state in the nation, Vermont was immune to this type of violence. As I've said many times throughout my political life, public safety is the top priority of any government. Responsibility I take very seriously as governor. Sitting there in the grace of God, did we avert the horrific outcome. This potential shooter followed through overnight. We would have gone from one of the safest states in the country to among the deadliest. For a split second, I felt relieved. We had a close call, but just like the ones we all experience in our own lives, like a near miss on the highway, we say to ourselves, I'll never do that again. This is one of those moments where as a state, we have the opportunity to do things differently. As we came to a tragedy like Florida, force me to do some soul searching. I've hunted and fished my entire life. I've got a safe full of guns, including the one I got when I was 13. As a state senator, lieutenant governor, and governor, I never felt the need to change our gun laws here in Vermont. I believe that we are such a small tight knit state that we were different and somehow insulated from the violence the rest of the world is seeing that I was wrong. And that's not always easy to admit. I support the Second Amendment myself. We truly doing everything we can to make our kids and our community safe. Because if we're at a point where our kids are afraid to go to school and parents are afraid to put them on a bus, or police don't have the tools they need to protect victims of violence, or families can't step in to prevent a loved one from taking out their own life, then who will we become? Answers to those critical questions force me to reconsider and after deep reflection change some of my own views. A conversation about how to better identify and treat mental health needs and root causes of violence. Determine, determine why so many kids slip through the cracks and have an open dialogue about gun safety, including access to guns by those who shouldn't have them. One week after the young man's arrest in Fairhaven, eight days after the shooting in Parkland, I presented an action plan outlining steps to enhance school and community safety. At my direction, state police and local law enforcement completed a safety assessment of all our schools and will report their findings within the week. The legislature is working with me to allocate a security grant so we can immediately invade our mental health system and expand our outreach support of the media in facilitating a see something say something campaign and for legislation to protect those who do and I'll sign an executive order to create a violence prevention task force. This group will include a wide range of perspectives and experts in the areas of public safety, education, security, gun rights, health and mental health and more. It's charged and it's charge will be to identify strategies to help prevent violence in communities and schools. This is not the time to hit the brakes because this critical work must continue for legislative action on gun safety reforms that from my standpoint are reasonable and do not have fringe upon Second Amendment rights. It brings me to why we're here today. I know these discussions have been difficult, emotional and complex barriers that frequently lead to an action. But this is not the time to do what's easy. It's the time to do what's right. Every school, every mom and dad, every victim of violence in any form to know today, we stand together as we take steps towards making our communities safer for all of us to 21 will provide for monitors with a life saving tool to help reduce gun tragedies such as suicides and murders with age 422 will give victims of domestic violence who've endured unthinkable abuses added protections and a greater sense of security. Both of these new laws had unanimous support from both sides of the aisle as consensus among sportsmen and victims groups. They will keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them, which is why I thought it was so important for the legislature to move forward on these issues and I want to thank everyone for their work. Additionally, we're also here to sign S 55 safety reforms that will help protect and strengthen our communities. The message of each of these bills I also acknowledge some of you do not understand your frustration. I want you to hear these facts loud and clear. 55 includes gun safety provisions relating to background checks, bump stocks, magazine capacity and safety requirements for those purchasing guns under the age of 21. Legislation, this legislation extends their existing background check process to private sales with exception for sales between family members, a reasonable extension of existing law to close a so-called parking lot loophole. What it does not do, what it does not do is take away your guns, period. To purchase them before October 1st, you can keep them. 55 does not change possession laws. Our youth can still take part in hunting and recreational shooting just like they do today. 55 changes the age to purchase firearms from 18 to 21. 18 year olds can still purchase a gun if they're a member of law enforcement or the military or have completed a firearm safety course as approved by the commissioner of fish and wildlife. Just like the NRA course I took when I was 12, it was clearly clear. I believe these measures will make a difference. Each and every one of them is consistent with both the United States and Vermont constitutions. It documents an oath I take legislation with limit Vermonters rights. I wouldn't be signing it. A combination of laws guarantee we will never see a mass shooting or other acts of violence. And as I said before, this discussion is not and cannot be just about guns. Our nation is struggling through a mental health crisis that threatens our future and affects our young people in disproportionate and heartbreaking ways. Today in America, one in five people under the age of 26 struggle with a mental illness or disorder while another 10 million of our youth will go untreated or undiagnosed. And sadly, sadly in our country, the second leading cause of death among people age 10 to 24 is suicide. As well, we see the effects of an opioid epidemic that knows no boundaries. It doesn't discriminate between rich or poor, young or old, black or white. For more than a decade, we've watched as the abuse of prescription drugs and heroin have eroded our communities, stolen once bright futures and ripped lives apart as overdose deaths rise across the state. We must continue to work together to address these public health issues, but that still won't be enough. As a society, we should all reflect, all reflect on how we treat one another in the example that we're sending for our kids. Because I believe our violence issue is fueled by our anger issue. Too many of our fellow citizens on both sides of every issue, not just on guns, have given up on listening, designed to no longer consider other opinions, viewpoints or perspectives. National dialogue has been reduced to angry, hateful social media posts that you can either like or not, with no room for conversation or respect or disagreement. And where facts and details no longer seem to matter. We need to believe that the way we talk to each other, the way we treat each other and the rise of violence are exclusive to one another. Do we honestly think that the erosion of civility and respect of others in some way is unrelated to this type of violence and disregard for human lives we're seeing? As governor, as a Vermonter, as an American and as a dad, I'm not willing to accept any of this. We've got to do better. The idea that consensus and compromises somehow unacceptable, that one side is always totally right or all wrong, that we can't debate the issues and find common ground or agree to disagree respectfully. And that the growing divide is a dark place where the embers of hate and bigotry and blame can grow. These things are what's hurting our nation. This is not a new trend. It's not related to any one issue or one party. Yet in my opinion, we've reached an unacceptable and potentially dangerous point where our debates and activism have turned intensely and unduly personal, sometimes downright hateful. We can't forget, we can't forget our children are watching how we engage with one another. It begs the question, begs the question, what are they seeing? What kind of role models are we? Online insults, slurs and angry exchanges between people who have never met are far too common. Many say things online, they never say face to face. On cable news, so-called experts yell at each other, totally unwilling to acknowledge the viewpoint of others, much less learn from it. We as adults, we as adults are failing to teach our children how to handle important, often complex conversations, even how to treat people with whom you disagree, understanding all points of view and treating others the way you want to be treated. I know there are thousands of Vermonters who feel the same way I do, need to rise above it, treat each other better even when we disagree. If we can reduce the polarization we're seeing across the country, we can diminish some of the anger at the root of some of the larger challenges. And this must be part of our ongoing pursuit to reduce violence and make our communities safer. Now, I recognize how hard it is for some to understand my change of heart on our gun laws, let alone become the same conclusions I've reached. And that many who voted for me are disappointed and angry. I understand, I understand I may lose support of the decision to sign these bills today, but those are consequences I'm prepared to live with. If we had not even tried to reduce the possibility of a tragedy here in Vermont, like Parkland or Virginia Tech, Aurora, Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook, Dallas, or Charleston, if we didn't try to reduce suicide and the pain felt by the families left behind, or if we didn't try to prevent another death from domestic violence and another child growing up without a mom, that would be hard to live with. That's why today we choose action over inaction, doing something over doing nothing. Always be more of work to do, but today we choose to try over the speaker of the house, Missy Johnson. To the heartbreaking reality that we are not immune to the gun violence we've watched unfold, unchecked in schools, churches, theaters, and communities around the country. The affidavit referenced by the governor shook me to my core as well, and when I read it, I completely understood why he opened the door to a very different conversation than what we've had in the past. Signed today strike an important balance between individual liberties guaranteed by the constitution and the necessary laws of protection that create a safe and just society. And that tension between liberty and justice, or as we say in Vermont between freedom and unity, was at the very core of this discussion. Many Vermonters that spoke up both in and out of the state house spoke to the core of that tension of democracy, but I have no doubt that we all share the wish to reduce gun violence. We all want safe schools. Everyone who shared their thoughts, engaged in democracy, and exercised their right to free speech, is grateful that we live in a country where we can exercise our right to free speech, where you can freely criticize the legislature, the governor, the president. And that's critical in an open democracy who for years have highlighted the need for reasonable common sense changes to gun laws. Like to thank the House Majority Leader Jill Kruinsky and the House Judiciary Chair Maxine Grad and compassionate patients while Vermonters along with their elected officials struggled with a difficult and necessary conversation. And so for the 80 Vermonters who lost their lives over two decades due to domestic violence disputes turned deadly. For the 420 Vermont families over five years who lost a loved one to a gunshot wound, and for the many students who have clearly, passionately, and respectfully articulated how their high school experience is overshadowed by safety concerns in a way that I never knew in school. I am proud to have these bills become law and I thank everyone, everyone for being here today to express your viewpoints and to make this happen. We ask the pro tem of the Senate Tim Ash to come up. Thank you, Governor Scott. First, I want to say I've appreciated very much that on the issue of gun safety, every single conversation we've had has been straight, every action conducted in good faith. Thank you so much, Governor Scott. Speaker Johnson, I feel the exact same way in terms of our work with the House on these three bills. So thank you to you and your team. You know, it has been the highlight of my adult life to serve as president of the Vermont Senate. It's been the highlight not because I have some fancy title or because I frequently have a firsthand view of history in the making. It's been the highlight of my adult life because of the people I served with. The 30 members of the Vermont Senate have spent the past several months debating each other, fact finding, and soul searching. We've been trying to determine each for ourselves what we should do to make people safe from harm in this state. Not every member of the Senate voted for all three of these bills, and yet I believe that every member of the Senate can sleep easy at night, knowing that they did what in their best judgment, promoted public safety and met our obligations to uphold the U.S. and Vermont constitutions. Any of those senators are here today and I'm honored to serve with them and grateful that no matter the issue, controversial or not, we work together with generosity and respect. Two of those senators require a special mention. First is Dick Sears. Senator Sears, in my opinion, is the reason S-221 is being signed into law today. While the issue of gun-related suicide receives little public focus, it's been the cause of 89 percent of gun deaths in the last five years. Preventing suicides and extreme risks to others is at the heart of S-221, and I'm grateful Senator Sears has been so persistently advocating for this critical safety measure. Thank you, Senator Sears. Second, I'd like to mention Phil Baruth. Senator Baruth's advocacy for universal background checks has been in evidence for years. These at times have been isolated and publicly attacked by those who oppose this measure, which remains at the center of S-55. But he has not wavered even when he risked his own political standing. Phil, you can sure be stubborn, but in this case, your determination is a foundation stone of this bill. Thank you. Finally, I'd like to return to what this day is really about, and that's the people of Vermont in keeping them safe. My colleagues in the Senate have heard from victims of domestic violence whose abusers use firearms to exert control over them. We pass these bills for you. Heard from constituents whose families have been rocked by suicides. We've heard from the pediatricians and trauma surgeons who treat victims of self-inflicted and other gun violence. We pass these bills for you, and we heard from teachers and students and parents who deserve to feel safe when they walk through a classroom door. We pass these bills for you. History will render the verdict on these bills, but I believe very strongly, like the historic marker commemorating equality for same-sex couples just to our left, we will look back at the passage of these three bills as perhaps uncontroversial, but with deep appreciation for the lives saved and for the rights preserved. Thank you very much.

Hi, my name is Chris Cadna and I'm here to talk to you about making schoology work for you in this video We're gonna cover various topics. We are gonna cover how to change your notification settings How to schedule an assignment? How to copy assignments to multiple courses? How to assign differentiated assignments? How to embed Quizlet and other media into your assignments and pages? How to enforce assignment completion in a specific order? How to add images to folders on materials pages? how to customize course cards and Finally, how to add a permanent banner to update a page? All right, so we're gonna start off with notifications All right, so the first thing you want to know about notifications is you are gonna come right up here to your name And you're just gonna hit this drop-down menu and click on settings and Then come over here to notifications Click on notifications and you'll see this whole menu of various things come up And it's very simple.  All right, so nice and simple and that's all there is to it as far as the notification goes Okay, our next topic Will be Just scheduling assignments. So we're gonna return to our course here. Let me get to my courses Some of my courses have been archived. So I'm gonna go into an old class. Let's call it math six All right, so how do we schedule an assignment? All right, so the right here where it says add materials that is where a majority about time is gonna be spent All right, so the first thing I'm gonna do there is click on add materials and add assignment Okay, once you're there, you're gonna name your assignment Let's just call this PD assignment and Then you can give you a description post a link right here in the description or a picture if you want to Then you're gonna pick a due date. I believe our PD is scheduled for the 14 So let's say we had a homework due on the 15th and you would click a category low medium or high Make sure this is checked off. This is what will sink us to power school Okay, this button here if you want it published immediately You leave a green if you want to not publish it. You want to delay it you unclick it Okay, I'm gonna publish it immediately so you can see it and I'm gonna click on create and Once we scroll down to the bottom here. There is our assignment nice and simple Okay All right, the next thing we want to do is how to copy assignments to multiple courses Okay, we're gonna work off of this existing assignment And it's very simple. All I want to do is go over to my little gear here click down and copy to a course Okay, now for now. I'm just the only class I'm enrolled in is this sixth grade ELA summer school class If it was during the year I would have four classes and all I would have to do is click copy Excuse me again asking for due date what type of category is the grading and Period now. There is no Grading period here because obviously we're in the summer once the school year starts. We will Have each quarter they they do it by quarters So you'll be able to click on which quarter you want this assignment to appear as Okay, and then we would just click copy and I'm not gonna click copy because I don't want this appearing in my summer school course Okay, so that is how we assign to multiple courses Okay, how do we differentiate? Okay, again very similar. Okay, so we're just gonna scroll back up and we can actually You know what? I'm gonna create a new assignment Okay and assign it same idea PD assignments Let's call this number two Hey, again, you would fill in any description here and You're just gonna go through the dude the due date. So again, we'll call it August 15th And a time it'll always ask for a time. We'll call it a high-level grade again, make sure you are syncing it because this will sync it to power school and Numeric we're gonna have an online now if you want to differentiate and only assign to a particular Group of students or even one student. Maybe they're making up a test or they were out on the day of the test And you're given a different test or that test Here's where we're gonna click it. Notice how it's grayed out once you hover over it. You have blue green and red You're gonna click on that button. Okay. Now Again, this class is archived so that I don't have a class roster on this But if I were to start writing my name is Chris CHR Anybody with CHR would automatically pop up or you can enter their last name and then you just click to assign your students this assignment and And that is as easy as it is and then again, you would click on create and that would differentiate it Okay All right, I'm not going to do that The next thing we are gonna do is how to embed For example, like a Quizlet or or YouTube anything like that right into an assignment Okay So here's what we're gonna do for that. I'm actually gonna open up another tab and we're gonna go to Quizlet Okay, and these are all my vocabulary packets We can really click on any one of them. I'm just gonna click on lesson 24 here. Okay, this will come up We're gonna go scroll down right here to our three dots Okay, and we are gonna click on embed Okay, this pop-up screen will come up. Okay, so this is actually gonna be our HTML code we're gonna copy that and We're gonna want to know which assignment in Quizlet are we doing so I'm gonna just take flash cards That is the easiest thing to do. We are gonna now go back to schoology okay Click on our add materials add assignment That's what we're gonna constantly be doing to create our assignments Okay name it Quizlet practice Whoops Okay Now next thing that's a little bit different than what we've done is we're gonna come right here that is icon here All right, this is where we're gonna insert our content We're gonna work out of this area as well a lot. Okay, so you'll get to know that area very quickly All right, we're gonna click on that and we're gonna click on image media Okay, once we are there We have two options upload for media which is attach a file or from the web we're gonna go from the web and We want media and that's where our link embedded link comes up. So we're gonna click on that paste it and then insert media Okay, and you'll notice you have this little tiny icon here. All right Our due date we will call that August 15th once again, 1159 category. We'll call it mid and Again, I'll check our synxes. This is checked off All right, and now we are going to create our assignment and once we scroll down There's our Quizlet assignment and we can click on it and There we go, right now same idea if you wanted to go right into a Specific folder you can click on that folder and Do the same process at Simon? Quizlet practice Insert content Again, you'll notice everything starts to be very similar and Very repetitive once you start to use the system Okay, we'll have a due date on this make sure your time's in there low-grade a line good create Okay, and we have our Quizlet practice Okay, so that is how we embed Quizlet or any other multimedia Exactly like that the next one. We are going to cover is importing When exporting pictures, okay, so how do we do that? All right? Let's get back to our section if I am on My home page of all my courses again, I'm going to click on add materials Okay, and this time I'm not clicking on add assignment. I'm going to click on add page This let's say import Okay, we're going to go back to our content, but this time I'm going to pull something from my Google Drive and There we go. All right, so I'm just going to click on this untitled document and We're going to click import embed Okay, and It'll automatically go in there and you just double-check to make sure you have your title which we do and then we click Create And as we scroll down there's our import Okay, so this not it wasn't necessarily an assignment Actually, that was my clickable buttons. That'll come on later. All right So that was not necessarily an assignment, but that was just pulling a resource if you're working with math numbers, you know Table of perfect squares if you're looking for a graphic organizer Anything like that you can use it as far as that goes But you can certainly do that as many times you want to pull any resource from your Google Drive Next thing we're going to cover is if you want to force your students to complete assignments in a particular way Here's our home page, right? We're going to click on options and Student completion Okay Now we are going to add a requirement.  That's the first thing. All right. What do I whoops? We why that's saying? I don't know. There we go. What do I want you guys to do next?  I'm not going to click on that I'm just showing you just a particular order and Likewise that works within a particular lesson if you wanted to do it as well. Here's your options student completion Again, we would just make sure that's clicked off in here. You'll notice on the other page It was automatically clicked off and we're going to add requirement again We're going to have a drop-down menu and it's going to ask well. What do I want you to see first? Well, it would probably be a good idea to see the family letter first And I just want them to be the item next see the agenda and then Maybe take a look at the lesson And then save those changes again, I'm not going to save them, but that's how we would Make Specific order for our students to follow All right, the next thing we are going to do is Our little graphic up here. Okay, let me just cancel that out. They call this a course card So let me show you what I mean. So I'm just going to open up Canva Here's Canva and What you could do is Actually put in Schoology course And there you have it right there So it's very specific 262 by 146 pixels and they will once you press enter here you go. Schoology course card templates All right, so they have all these different courses science math social studies and You can pick one and customize it Or you can just leave it the way it is Let's see. I'm just gonna pick any old one. Oh, there we go math. All right, customize template Okay, so notice my card is this right now. Okay, I am going to customize this change this to Mr. Cagner Learn how to spell my own name and That is it. So at this point, I'm going to share it and Then download it And I'm going to download it as a PNG file Download and I'm going to keep that on my desktop so I can easily move it and Here's my picture. I want to edit it And I'm going to attach a file so I can just drag it right in Once it's green, you can do it and there you go. My course card just changed All right, so nice and simple next thing we are going to do is How to add images to folders on my material page? So let's take a look at that. Let's return to our course We're gonna add materials And a folder Okay, and let's just name our folder school Folder You can pick a color blue Okay, and then you are going to again return to our insert content We're going to click on image and We are going to attach any type of picture, so let's say I don't know statue Liberty Let's just grab an image of the Statue of Liberty and that looks as good as any Save image. We can save it as a download. I have it on my desktop and let's return to Schoology And we're going to attach that photo now Once it's green, you can pop it right in there and there you go Okay, you can create that and There you go. If you're studying the Civil War if you're studying the periodic table anything you can you can put in a picture just like that and Then finally, how are we going to make clickable buttons? open up a slide presentation First thing we're gonna want to do you can insert a shape you can insert Circles rectangles. We're gonna talk rectangles right now and Let's just X out of these themes here Okay, and you can put a color in here. We're just gonna make it that okay, so We are creating what's eventually going to end up in Schoology as a clickable button and What we need to do is add a text Box now I'm gonna create three buttons However many buttons you want to create that's up to you, but it the process is the same First one.  So I'm just gonna make my writing a little bit bigger Make sure we are centered here All right next thing you want to do is once you're happy with that then you just Duplicate that slide however many times you're duplicating it All right, so I'm gonna go with three buttons Duplicate that one more time. All right now return to your second one here and maybe you can change your background to let's say green and I'm going to say Daily on this one daily slides All right, that looks good and finally our third one. Let's call that caller Let's go yellow. Oh nice and bright. All right contact Me Once you're happy with all three of them. Okay, you're gonna download each one of them Okay, so you're gonna come up here to file and then you come over here to download download JPEG and then finally our third one download JPEG Okay, so now you have all three Downloaded I kept them on again on my desktop so that I can just drag Right into the area that I need in school ology All right, so at this point I am going to return to school Okay, so what we are gonna do first thing is here. We're gonna have add materials and add page Okay, and what we are gonna do here is title our page header page View not Publish okay Learn out the spell You're not published. Okay. Why do we want to do that? Because we don't want the students to have the ability to edit. Okay, so the first thing I'm gonna do is come over to insert content image media and Then I'm just gonna upload my three files So once it turns green you can release And it'll upload now Remember, this is a big picture. So we want to shrink it down So it may take a couple of minutes Just to shrink it and get it to the right spot of where we want it and if you're not happy with the way it looks go back to slides and You can adjust it Okay, I think that should be good. Just make sure you have a space there same thing insert content image of media attach your second file Once it turns green it's fast Again, it'll look like it's there, but you got to pinch it and make it smaller All right, so a couple of mice movement and then we can bring it up Over there, and then you can continue to work on it and Align it the best you can make sure Obviously, it's the same size and then again insert content image media and Attach that last file can be a little tricky, but we should get it and there we go. There's our last file Too small on that one All right over here.  All right shrink it down Raise it up and Again keep it as you can. Okay, so now we have out three buttons that we're gonna import on our page Now the next thing is to use our link and to link each one of these three So the first one I'm gonna link is Contact me But highlight it and link it so I'm gonna link my email schools Okay, click off this little box to open it up in a new tab See hang that other cancel. Okay save changes My agenda I have open so I'm just gonna copy that link Bring it back over to school G and click on my inline link Copy and paste Open link in the new tab save changes and Then finally our slides school G inline link Copy and paste and Again, make sure the link is open save changes Okay, so now all three of our buttons are linked up What you want to do is copy that whole thing right across Copy it save it for a moment now. Remember you do not want to publish this. So this is green Now it is gray or white. Okay. It is not gonna be published right now. Okay, so at this moment We're gonna create it and There's our header on a page. Okay remember so we added that to our page This can be used as a resource page for personal things that we have that we don't have to post now What are we gonna do to add to it? So the next spot? We're gonna go to is update Okay, so anything you post here will automatically Appear to the students unless you have not published it. So you're gonna pop your cursor in there and paste What we had and there's what we have and they are all linked up right now And here's the most important part of our update You want to make sure you click off that little bell because that will go right to the top Once you do that you are ready to post And there you have it. All right, so this will remain at the top of the page when the students sign in Okay, and everything is linked or should be okay. There's my daily slides. So that worked out well There's my agenda and my email page opens up for contact me Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more video tutorials


Hello, welcome back to the average. Yes, it's that time again. It's paint over book time Don't give me any grief can't be bothered with you Just move on if you don't like people painting on books, then don't click the video It's as simple as that and moving on to the people who are actually here because they like fun and joy and happiness in their life We know that I paint over books and that have movie covers because I just don't like movie covers And this is pretty sure obviously, you know, it's a show on Netflix very very popular. I really love the show I think it's really good. I think it's really well written. The books are Quite good, you know possible enjoyable nothing special I would say which is like, you know Kind of suggesting that the the show is better than the books and I'm not saying that but I am a bit First of all, I never do this But I want to take you guys through my ideation process of the book because I feel like I never do that I just paint on the books and you guys are like, what where did she get that idea from just want to do some sketches In my little sketchbook here And I do have like a basic idea of what I want to do because in the book stuff happens and I want to emulate Where's my color pencil because I feel like you guys can see that better when I draw without in the book stuff Happens and I feel like I want to emulate that a bit But I also want to leave it, you know a bit generic as they kind of done here. You can see that they play the What's it called mallet game? Don't remember. Yeah, so they play that game and So I want to include that a bit because they've done it on the cover But I really like the idea of doing like a motif. Is that the correct word motif? I don't know. You'll you'll probably tell me in the comments But in the beginning she has like a little corgi dog And he kind of runs away and it's a whole like little Tableau within the book of like them both chasing the little dog and being like, oh my god You're the worst because you let this dog run away and Then the sister who he's courting falls into the river and it's like, oh no You've done this and I'm like, what is not helpful my idea is to have sort of like stuff that happens in the book kind of portrayed along the outside Anyway tea around here as if it's spilling as well because I think there is some tea spill in the book I can't remember. There's a lot of clumsy moments in the book But I do appreciate and then we'll just do like flowers and stuff in between and then in the middle I really want to have like the two characters that they've done here But I really want to like bring the story a little bit in because here they're just kind of standing Looking at the camera. I mean Kate is kind of like, you know Got a little bit of a smarmy action a little like smarmy pose, which is kind of cool Like she's a bit cocky But he just looks weird. I feel like this pose they've chosen is just really strange to me Muchy, please be oh it don't fight We're talking about books. You can't fight. Yeah, his pose just looks really strange to me I don't know about you guys. I just feel like the angles are really odd Like if he was just stood straight I don't know So I want to bring the story in a little bit where they're just kind of like looking at each other but angrily But you can feel the tension. Do you know what I mean? Like I want a little bit of tension action Like this is kind of my idea. Anyway, I don't know if you guys have seen the show or read the books Um, but I won't spoil too much but you find this out in like the beginning It's basically his father dies because he's allergic to bees and a bee stings him But then it's used kind of in like a romantic way Not spoiling anything, but it is like the bee thing is used Um, so we want to show some bees. So I want to do the dog here. Um, I'm not very good at drawing dogs So you can probably see but We've got to practice these things, right? Um, also there's loads of space here. So I want to have like funda somehow But I don't know whether to like include it in this bit because funda is also like a key Because she's scared of thunderstorms, right? Hmm, okay, I think we've got enough to get started I'm gonna get started on Setting up this book paint over. So I've set up my book. He's golden Uh tape there and I just put paper in between and then stick down this cover onto the paper So it just like kind of stays still and then I have the tape so I don't like go over the The side because I don't like to paint the spine Um, because I think if it would just like fall off But yeah, so I'm going to be using my little gouache palette that I made First of all the worst bit of the whole thing I'm going to be Scraping off any of the shininess because we can't paint very well on top of it. So I'll be using just this like file um To just scrape down areas of shininess because Yeah, we need to paint on it and then I'll feel to see if the shininess is gone Because if it's not gone, then we'll have issue Okay, that should be fine. That should be enough Scrapeage. It's always so painful. But yeah, let's go started I think I want it to be like This big the dog here. Goodbye Netflix logo on a book And we're back. It's actually been a week Uh, I left this project because I was like I can't be bothered Do you ever have days like that? I just I just was not feeling it And I really didn't want a half ass like the process of painting on a book So um, I decided to get some modeling paste. I'm just gonna try a new Technique for this one. Also, sorry about my nails. I tried to paint them and then like they all smudged So I I've been picking them up. Don't look at them. I've got some uh, uh like modeling paste I guess it's kind of like modge podge. I don't know. Oh my god. Why won't it open now? What? It was just open Uh, yeah, so I'm gonna cover this with a thin layer of this With a thin layer of this just like a little layer. I'm gonna get my little spoon Small spoon, you know what I mean Just smooth it out. Just smooth it out. I think this will be better in the long run. Okay So I'm going with we'll see I guess we'll see don't skip to the end. That's rude You better watch this. Huh? You better watch this With a thin layer of this Okay, so I feel like that's gonna give us some nice texture bet you didn't see that you're gonna see What that didn't make any sense bet you didn't realize that you were gonna see a new technique for me today Did you know exciting stuff, huh? So we have a bit of a situation Um, it looks good. I like The way it looks but there was a hair here whilst it was drying And I was like, I'm just gonna take that. I'm just gonna take that out and then like smooth it down again No, it uh Went weird and then I had to put more on top and then I had to put more on top and then I had to push it around And now we have this big lump that like won't dry. It's kind of like I don't know weird You can tell underneath it's kind of still a bit wet. So hope to hope for what to do. I think I'm just gonna push it down and see What happens because uh, please try I'm gonna like roller this bit and see if it just like smashes out sounds disgusting See if it smashes out the excess But okay, let's just smush it. Yeah, see look at the excess there Let's just smush it onto this paper Oh, it's like a spot Oh, that's so right Nice Welcome to the book cover paint over guys, but you didn't think you were gonna see this, did you? This is a good idea for those like people that do like those videos where they Mush like mochis. I don't know if you've seen that or if you know what I'm talking about until probably not Let's push this paper down. This is a situation It is a situation, but we'll get over it.  I was way too much like what's wrong with me I was like, I need all this paste on here. You know, there's like slapstick comedies that um Things just keep getting worse and worse and it it's like really infuriating to watch Yeah, you probably know what I mean. It's off. Let's smush it one more time It's kind of satisfying to be honest But I've got like a really weird Texture Let's just get all the excess Begone excess Okay, I feel like I'm finally ready to start painting even though I'm not sure about this lump. We'll see how we do because you know like painting on books is Surprisingly difficult. You'd think it'd be the same as just painting on top of like the sketchbook Or whatever, but it isn't it's super difficult and hope that's appreciated Because sometimes people are just like what the have you done here and I always get nervous because I want it to be good But you know, I just wanted to paint these guys in the first obviously the main thing the main thing Yeah, so I think the first part of this Painting process is where's my white there is It's definitely just going to be me. Um blocking out shapes and then hoping and praying that it's going to turn out well Oh, no Just realized that in the in the book This is like a like a tough area to cover. We're going to go for it guys in the book She's white and then in the series. She is obviously from India Which I think is such like it's adds so much to the story because she's like, I'm going back to India Actually, I don't want to be around you and he's like, it's not far enough impossible, but I am leaving for India You know that when he does that and it was like, oof Oof, I think I think the lady duff protests too much So I'm going to make her Indian because he ain't about whitewashing around here Even though in the book. She is an Indian. I don't care. I think it adds much more Interest to the story like seriously. It's so much more interesting than her just being English, I don't know. We've already got English characters. So I really like that So I'm gonna make her Indian and uh, we're gonna stick with that because I'm not gonna I'm not about to in this day and age Paint over a woman of color and then make her white. Okay So we're not arguing it move on if anyone's here to argue that get out But yeah, okay. That was a lovely off-topic rant. But yeah, I like the book. It's okay. I I feel like I feel like the uh, the show is so much better. It just adds so much like Depth to the characters and yeah, the book is okay. I liked it. It was It's like a throwaway Quick book. I don't know if they get better because people rave about these books and I'm like, but are they that good? Are they though? Because I wasn't a huge fan of the first one. I thought it was okay And then this one was better definitely better But I definitely yeah Weird to say this the show is better than the books Not that's kind of a rare thing For people to say right, um, but it's true for me in this case It kind of changes the whole like Story a bit of how they actually get together and I was like that's like a little bit lame Because you know like how the bee I'm going to just say it because you've probably seen the show if you're watching this If you haven't Stop this video and go watch the show because it's really good or keep watching if you don't care In the show she gets stung by a bee and it obviously is traumatizing with him because his father gets killed by a bee Sting because he's obviously allergic, right?  It's more like guess what I'm gonna marry your sister like In the book she doesn't even the sister is not even that like big of a storyline It's more like he like he he thinks he's gonna marry her and that's it But like in the show they go full-on wedding action So it's very different And I think that's a bit hard the harsher thing in the show is a bit like would you go that far that somebody who's walking Down the aisle with your sister would you go that far? I don't know you would but hey It's all good drama. I love a bit of drama. Yeah blocking out shapes blocking out shapes We can do this We can do this. I'm talking to you as well. We can do this together. Okay. I'm really regretting adding a dog to my sketch Go along Esther a dog. It's hard to draw, right? I think what I'm gonna do is make this background really like dark blue To emphasize them There were mobients in the book that I really liked there's a bit where she gets like stuck in the drawing room Because she's trying to avoid him.  Yeah, just remembering this I was like I like that bit and now I'm remembering it He like steps on her hand and then she like bites his leg and stuff and it's like okay calm down guys She falls in love with the guy that kicks her so you know Spings him round abouts I guess those are my thoughts on the book and uh, it's okay. It's a good It's a free star out of five star for me. It wasn't memorable. I guess it wasn't like anything Wow, I didn't really think the characters were that fleshed out as they are in the show I feel like I should have made this circle a bit Bigger, but I don't care because I'm just going with it Good luck to me drawing this dog on a painting this dog even. Good luck to me. Um, by the way, um Adding that Modeling what is it called modeling paste mod podge stuff? It's modeling paste. It's not mod podge. Um, there is a difference actually really helped so If you guys I'll link this one down below, but I'm sure that you can find like lots of different modeling pastes Wherever you may be and uh, yeah, I think it's like Actually really helped being able to paint a little bit easier more easily. Where are you going kubo? Can I help you? Can I help you? Please can you move on without? Ah, ah, no, no, thank you Just keep it moving. Keep it moving. Thank you very much It wasn't too bad. It could have been Quite traumatic for me.  Can you keep moving? I don't know why they have to go so slow. They're like actually maybe I might destroy everything on this desk Yeah, definitely modeling paste way to go because this has been easier to actually get like Some nice forms I always feel like I struggle with that with on books. So Hopefully this will make all the difference except when I draw the dog, which will look like a turd with legs And I I'm honestly just warning you now about that So it's not my fault if you keep watching and you get annoyed that I drew a turd with legs drew painted whatever I always say drew and then I'm like, no, I mean painted because once somebody in the comments want to like Oh my god, I think you mean painted not raw And I was like, oh, you're right. And now like whenever I say that I'm like, oh no I better I better correct myself for that person's gonna come back From their dungeon crawling out I don't have these shoes.  What's wrong with me? It's gonna come out. It's gonna look bad when uh, I'm trying to do the details. That's for sure Uh, it's already looking horrible. It's looking like a blob. Oh, well what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna Look out the shapes of the way I'm gonna do that. And then what I'm gonna do is Paint around it. You see I just feel a great ideas Okay, so we have the basis of the dog, right? I'm gonna cheat a little bit and use like a bit of an ink brush to just Define like the darker areas because I think Just gonna work a bit more. I don't know why I said cheat like it's not cheating is it it's mixed media I'm like it's cheating. It doesn't make sense So I'm just gonna define areas with a perm basically But yeah, the dog is not turned out. Um too bad as I thought I was like dreading Painting him, but it's not you know, it's not awful, right? So there we go. It's hard to draw Okay, I think he's kind of cute. Um, we're gonna move on because we're running out of time Uh, well, we're not really running out of time, but yeah, I'm gonna use the pen To define areas because it's just easier I'm painting everything This is just a brush pen by the way. I think I've got it in Japan, but it's a kuritaki um A brush pen You can get them on amazon. I think it's pentail kuritaki. Make sure Okay I think it's looking kind of good. I wanted the lead to kind of go around here From my sketch. So we're gonna use this massive brush that people use for like lettering hand lettering And I'm just gonna go You know, I'm just gonna do it. It's not awful, but it's not the best. Maybe I should have used a different Brush I was very confident in my lettering Brush skills there. Okay That's fine It's fine. We're blocking shapes out And I wanted to do some like foliage As well because they are like often in gardens and stuff again with the blocking out the shapes. We're just Having fun making some random leaves and it's gonna be good. It's gonna be good guys. I feel I'm feeling it You know, okay, I want to do like a bit. I want to make them big even though it doesn't really make sense But that's what I want to do. Okay big old bees hanging about Maybe just the one because I'm like, where else is this bee gonna go? Maybe over here like flying Maybe like they're going off into the distance And you can't even see like this one because it's gonna go behind his head, which is you know Not brilliant planning by me But I don't care too much. I don't care too much the bee bee Bee bee. Why do I keep saying bee? I don't know Couldn't know couldn't care. That's my attitude today if you noticed. Don't care. Don't care to make questions, does it? I really need to define these Cup cups of tea and stuff as well, but we'll get to it Chris said that the it looks like the plate's coming out the dog's butt, but it's a bit late for me now. So I've already done it now and he's right, but Sometimes you win some sometimes you don't win anything you win nothing That sounds about right doesn't it? I feel like it needs some sort of color around it. I don't know Kind of like the light green thing, but maybe if I just add more definition around it and also here is like Maybe if I tried to make it light again, it will work better Because it just looks too orange over here I think everything just needs a little bit of definition now I think what I want to do as well is literally do that lightning like I said So maybe if we do like a lightning here And then the light is kind of bouncing off them that would be kind of nice if We can do it. So let's just do like right Some sort of lightning going on and then it's going to be like sort of Lighting them up Yeah, there's some sort of like glow behind them Yeah, I think it kind of works. I just need to render it a little bit better. So Like obviously it wouldn't just be Why it would just kind of blend out a little bit as well That would also mean that there's like greatest shadows behind them. So without losing detail. I want to add Some darker shadows. So let's just Add a little bit of this black pen because I don't like to do shadows in black, but I feel like this black is definitely um Creating more contrast.  Just blend it out blend it out evened out blend it out And this sounds like an excuse, but I do like the roughness of like the foliage and stuff around Where it's not very detailed whereas they're quite detailed and the dog is quite detailed um, maybe I'll go around just with the pen just to like Add detail to some of the bits, but I need to wait for it to dry a little bit more otherwise I'm just gonna make a black mess of like colors. So no I've realized what's this What's this? I've realized what this needs now And it's like a gold border as if like this is a frame But I don't have a gold So I'm just gonna do it like an orangey color, I guess And just do like as if it's a frame around them Just to tie it all together and then these items would make more sense. Maybe I kind of think yeah, I feel like it added something definitely So maybe if I make it like more exaggerated I don't know whether to make like the background a solid color as well Maybe like a light blue. I think I might try that and I think that's it's completed What do you guys think it's time to take off the tape? Boom and release it from this paper Which I'm a little bit nervous about because of the whole debacle with the um modeling paste But let's see if it works. Okay. It's coming out Yeah, there we go. I'm going to varnish this later because I always I always get anxious about varnishing them So I'm gonna varnish it off camera a bit later I probably might upload that to my tiktok if I varnish it, but yeah Here's the final pane over. What do you guys think? I really like it. I think the Modeling paste even though it was a moment of pure panic Um, I think it really added something to it And definitely like how it turned out and Yeah, definitely prefer it to the cover even though I prefer the shows in the new the books So shows about that the dog turned out not too bad as well. I'm glad I challenged myself on that So there it is guys. That's the end of the video. Thank you so much for watching If you got this far you like what I did Please give me a thumbs up and a little comment or something because it really helps with the video You know some garbage, but thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you next time. Bye
