00:31	here like they go by so fast but they're very
00:37	, very well received so far . We're getting a
00:38	ton of comments and and likes and retweets from everywhere
00:42	across the world . So thank you so much .
00:45	Today we're having a little bit of a digital Learning
00:47	showcase with Keep Indiana Learning and they were powered by
00:50	Central Indiana Educational Service Centre . So we've got a
00:53	great session planned for you with Diana knocks my good
00:57	friend from the west side of indiana , I represent
01:02	. We turn over here so we oh we always
01:07	love that . But before we get started , I
01:09	do want to make sure that all of these sessions
01:11	, we mentioned some great new things happening with canvas
01:15	studio and if you're not using canvas studio , it
01:19	is one of our premier platforms that's kind of baked
01:22	into canvas . Diana . You guys use canvas studio
01:24	, we have canvas to , this is our first
01:26	year and I love it . Let's go . Right
01:29	. Yeah . It is absolutely fantastic . If Diana
01:33	loves it , just like jim , there's a lot
01:35	of people you need to know in the campus community
01:36	. Diana is one of them . If they say
01:38	they love it , then you might as well take
01:40	that money to the bank because there is a lot
01:44	of great things happening and they are always in the
01:46	know on these campus studio , fantastic platform baked into
01:51	canvas . A great place to create some interactive .
01:54	You know what , I just just stop talking ,
01:55	we should just show it . Learning wasn't meant to
02:03	be a one way street for learning to stick .
02:06	Students need to do and make not just watch and
02:09	listen . They need interaction , collaboration , feedback canvas
02:15	studio transforms video learning by turning content into conversation .
02:19	Here's how it works . Educators can create a variety
02:23	of media experiences for their courses , from self recorded
02:26	video to interactive discussions around other content . Students can
02:31	create videos to as assignment submissions , presentations , peer
02:35	feedback or ways to practice . Everyone gets their own
02:39	personal media library . Wanna bring Youtube content into the
02:43	mix . No problem . And accessibility is built right
02:47	in focus . Students attention with timestamp comments , then
02:52	turn those comments into conversations . Embed quiz questions to
02:56	gauge understanding of key concepts at key moments , then
02:59	send the scores straight to the grade book . Want
03:02	a deeper look at engagement Studio offers , second by
03:05	second student by student analytics . See what sinking in
03:09	and what's falling flat , personalized , refine , repeat
03:14	. And of course , canvas studio integrates seamlessly with
03:17	the canvas LMS . That means studio can deliver videos
03:21	exactly how students and teachers want to see them through
03:24	canvas mobile apps . It means your institution gets full
03:28	control of its video assets and a simple storage and
03:31	bandwidth solution and your students get richer canvas courses ,
03:35	no extra Loggins and a more fluid learning experience ,
03:39	whether they're online in person or somewhere in between ready
03:43	to make video learning more powerful , learn more about
03:46	canvas studio at in structure dot com . I just
03:53	love , I love that video , get so excited
03:55	because I love the studio so much , I loved
03:58	it as a client . And what better way to
04:01	talk about making connections with students than just segue Right
04:05	from Cayman studio to my friend Carrie from keeping Learning
04:11	and Diana knocks . I'm so excited to see what
04:13	you have in store for us . Thank you Eddie
04:15	. So I just want to say really quickly ,
04:17	I'm gonna , I'm gonna say about Diana , she
04:19	is one of our 18 digital learning coaches with Keep
04:21	indiana Learning and our coaches helped support schools all across
04:25	the state , but specifically 30 schools that we are
04:27	supporting in conjunction with the University of Indianapolis and their
04:32	cell program and we are funded through one of the
04:35	governor's gear grants . And so Diana has been one
04:37	of our amazing coaches and I'm super excited for you
04:40	to hear what she has to share today , all
04:42	about making connections with students and how canvas can help
04:46	you do that . So thank you so much .
04:48	Diana , go ahead and take it away . Thank
04:51	you so much . I'm excited to be here .
04:53	I'm a little nervous . I mean , you know
04:54	when you follow the canvas casters , that's a ,
04:56	that's a big deal please . We talked about ,
05:00	we talked about laundry laundry chutes . Listen , there's
05:04	a lot got off task pretty quick . We're not
05:07	the best student , right ? Yeah . Do you
05:11	want to go ahead and share your screen so I
05:12	can get that set up on the back end .
05:14	Like lots of people loving it though while you're doing
05:17	that , let's just throw some up , joe .
05:19	Our friend joe and Michelle would have a session coming
05:22	. You're super excited to see you . Um saying
05:25	hi , Diana , can't wait to see you Kyle
05:27	Cline . I can't , I'm not surprised he's not
05:29	on the golf course , you know , getting a
05:31	little sunshine , probably snowing up there , right ?
05:33	It's already snowing on him , but you know ,
05:35	it's a Diana can't wait to be your session .
05:37	So super excited to have you , we've got the
05:39	stream ready , we've got the screen going , so
05:41	take it away . Perfect . Thank you so much
05:44	. So , um , as we get in here
05:47	today , making connections with students , I think for
05:50	me that was my favorite thing about being in the
05:52	classroom sometimes . I absolutely loved getting in there and
05:58	um meeting my students , getting to know them um
06:03	and making those connections . So I do have a
06:05	little bit , we here at the bottom of the
06:07	screen that you can access these slides if you want
06:10	. And I have some comments in the speaker notes
06:13	because I'm afraid I'm going to forget something . There's
06:15	so much I could talk to you about . So
06:18	as a driving force for me , one of my
06:19	things that I always focused on was the fact that
06:22	my relationships with my students probably did help me have
06:26	less problems with classroom management and disruption and students behavior
06:30	. That's not to say they were all perfect because
06:32	Lord have mercy . We all know that there are
06:34	some stinkers out there . Um but those stinkers are
06:36	usually that some of the most lovable ones , you
06:38	can make those connections and get to know them .
06:40	Um but relationships with our students are important and we
06:44	know the reasons why we know that it's important to
06:47	give their students a sense of belonging , um give
06:50	them a feeling of voice when they feel comfortable and
06:53	know that they can share their thoughts , their ideas
06:55	, their their plans , and sometimes even their disagreement
07:00	with you if they feel safe , that they can
07:02	do that and know that they're still going to be
07:04	respected , those connections are everlasting and super strong .
07:08	Um we also know that stronger connections with our students
07:11	show an increase in academic achievement and that's why we're
07:14	here , we want to , our students to achieve
07:16	and to know and to learn and grow . And
07:18	so these pieces are important to help us with that
07:21	. Um we all have a huge , huge treasure
07:26	trove bag of tricks that we could pull from to
07:28	create relationships with students in the , in the classroom
07:33	face to face traditional settings . But when we start
07:37	to look at flipping the lens on this one on
07:40	one time discussing expectations , these things that you see
07:44	listed here , doing that in an online or virtual
07:49	environment can be a little bit more challenging . So
07:51	how do we flip that lens ? How do we
07:53	make that work ? And canvas can help you do
07:58	this ? There are many features of canvas and more
08:00	than I have listed here . Um , and I
08:03	have to confess a lot of my ideas . They're
08:05	not a virgin . I invent them . I followed
08:08	when the canvas casters were talking and they gave you
08:10	that list of people to follow . Uh , those
08:13	are some of the very people that I gleaned some
08:14	of these initial ideas from uh , the canvas casters
08:18	kona jones , uh , the elementary campus for elementary
08:22	Kerry and lindsey and Jim Wolf and Oh candidate tweets
08:27	. And you know , some of the people that
08:28	I've never had the privilege of meeting in person .
08:30	But I've , I've watched the information that they can
08:33	, his family has shared and put out there and
08:36	I've gleaned a lot of really great ideas . So
08:38	we're going to kind of go through these in order
08:40	and talk about how you can use these things to
08:42	create connections with your students . Um , and hopefully
08:46	this will go pretty well . Um , so the
08:52	inbox , I love the canvas inbox feature and the
08:55	inbox for us lets us communicate with the entire class
09:00	in just a couple of clicks . And so you
09:02	can go in , select a class , select everybody
09:05	in the class or select specific people . Each person
09:08	can be sent their individual message and then that will
09:14	go out and it creates a log and there are
09:18	, this doesn't really apply to my session , but
09:20	I love the new analytics . So a new analytics
09:22	, you can kind of track how many times you've
09:24	reached out to a student and how many times they've
09:25	reached back . Um if you have your notification set
09:29	up correctly or I guess I shouldn't say correctly a
09:32	preference . I haven't come to my inbox of my
09:34	email . So these come right to your email .
09:37	It's not like managing a couple of different places .
09:39	You can reply right back . So this inbox is
09:42	a great way to make those connections and reach out
09:44	if it's something you want to share with the whole
09:46	class or an individual where you want to just check
09:48	in on them and see how things are going because
09:50	you notice that they required in the online session today
09:53	. Those are things that are important to note with
09:56	the inbox discussions . This is something admittedly it's probably
10:01	my area of weakness . I don't have a lot
10:04	of discussions in my treasure trove to use from ,
10:07	but it's one of my missions is to improve .
10:10	And so I remember attending a session with the fabulous
10:14	Megan Tolan and Joanna Ray and it was at a
10:18	summer of a learning session at Richmond and they had
10:20	a whole session on discussions and one of the ideas
10:23	that they gave us was you kind of put your
10:25	students into groups and assign some roles . And so
10:29	you have students that are deliberately taking on maybe a
10:32	stance that isn't what they personally believe , that they
10:34	have to give information and defend it . And I
10:37	thought that was a great way of engaging the students
10:39	in the , in the course and asking them to
10:41	really amp up their critical thinking . But if you
10:44	also insert yourself into those discussions , it's another way
10:47	for the students to get to know you on another
10:48	level , to get to know things that you have
10:52	that you want to share with them . Um ,
10:54	and then they will feel safer speaking up adding information
10:59	sharing with you . So mix up those discussions .
11:02	They don't have to be the standard that maybe some
11:05	of us went to college with with discussion boards .
11:08	There's lots of creative ways to use discussions and to
11:10	create those connections . And it's not even just the
11:13	connections with your students , between the teacher and the
11:15	student , but you want to also establish those connections
11:18	, students , a student . And then that will
11:20	also trickle back to you and you can read the
11:22	benefits from it . Um , canvas quizzes . This
11:25	is an idea that I have to say kona jones
11:28	. I first heard her on an episode of the
11:30	canvas casters . I think it's episode number two .
11:33	Um She talked about using canvas quizzes not just as
11:38	a quiz . So don't let that name trip you
11:41	up . Don't let let you think that that can
11:43	only be used for assessment or quick checks and things
11:45	like that . You can use it as an SCL
11:48	check in . And I know here in the state
11:49	of indiana we're really starting to focus heavily on SCL
11:52	. There's been huge talk of it during the pandemic
11:55	about making sure we're keeping up with our students and
11:58	understanding how they're feeling and where they are . And
12:01	you can use the quizzes to replace your beginning of
12:03	the year questionnaire . Um and I loved Conan's idea
12:06	. I think she uses it together , feedback from
12:08	students just kind of a general how are you checking
12:11	in ? May not necessarily be content related , But
12:15	she talked about using quizzes just to learn about her
12:18	students and know where they were in the world and
12:20	where they were with what was going on in their
12:22	lives . That might help her understand a bit better
12:25	, um how to um what was what was going
12:31	on in the world and how to make those connections
12:33	, And I .
