Livestream It: Video Streaming Made Easy

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

Many educators today who are moving part or all of their instruction online are looking for the best way to share a livestream of their presentation to a wide audience. Often web conferencing software has limits set on the number of people you can have in the chat. Or you may not want to have a lot of guests in the chat. That’s where livestreaming solutions can make your life easier. In this blog entry, we’ll explore two solutions and offer tips for their use.

Why Livestream?

Livestreaming has grown in popularity. Were you aware of the following statistics?

  • 91 million subscribers will utilize live streaming by 2024.
  • 47% of viewers are live streaming more than a year ago.
  • Live streaming topped 1.1 billion hours in 2019.
  • 80% of audiences would rather watch live video from a brand than read a blog.
  • 82% prefer live video from a brand to social posts (source).

As you may imagine, knowing how to live stream may be something you need to have in your skillset. Where should you start?

A Starting Point

While there are many live streaming solutions, at a recent TCEA Lunch and Learn, co-host Karina Quilantan-Garza (Cue the Librarian | @cuethelibrarian) and I had a chance to discuss two. Those two solutions include StreamYard (@StreamYardapp) and OBS Studio (@OBSProject). Both are well-known solutions that some in education have adopted for use in schools.

Karina shared her Wakelet of StreamYard resources:

You can find some of my resources online via this Remote Learning accompanying webpage.

Livestream Infographic

In the infographic below, you will find a list of tips and suggestions. These are intended to optimize your use of two live-streaming solutions, StreamYard and OBS Studio.

Note-Taking and Outlining: Five Digital Helpers

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

Wish you had an easy way to annotate websites or research articles and then share them with others? Do you need to guide high school and/or college students in the area of note-taking? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog entry, I’ll feature a few digital tools that should come in handy for this purpose. At the end, I will share my recommendations.

Before we do that, let’s revisit the importance of note-taking and annotating content.

A Note-Taking Strategy That Works

Many educators are now familiar with the research that the act of handwriting your notes gets you results. Consider this quote from NPR’s interview with research study authors Daniel M. Oppenheimer and Pam A. Mueller. The authors sought to test how handwritten notes affect learning compared to notes taken using a computer or digital device.

“The students who were taking longhand notes in our studies had to be more selective. You can’t write as fast as you can type. And that extra processing of the material that they were doing benefited them.”

The researchers noted the two types of note-taking and defined them in this way:

  • Generative: Summarizing, paraphrasing, concept-mapping characterize this approach.
  • Nongenerative: Verbatim copying describes this approach.

As you might imagine, the generative approach has a greater impact on learning. According to another study, researchers found that handwritten notes also engage your senses. As a result, the act of note-taking makes your brain more active. Learning improves because of your brain’s activity (Source).

Hattie’s Mindset

As you might imagine, John Hattie’s meta-analysis of note-taking research reveals something, too. That is, that note-taking has an effect size of .51, which accelerates student growth in one year. Remember that standard growth has an effect size of .40, so anything greater than .40 is beneficial.

While handwritten notes do much, it is the acts they force us to engage in that actually yield results. Those acts take place during generative note-taking and include:

As you can see, each of these activities has the potential to speed up student growth in one year. Two other strategies are also useful here. The first is outlining and summarizing (effect size of .66). Defined below, this .66 effect size strategy can be quite effective (edited for blog):

Identifying the main ideas and rendering them in one’s own words. The core skill is being able to distinguish between  main ideas and supporting ideas. Or, main ideas and examples

The second is spaced vs mass practice (effect size of .65) . Notes, outlines, and summaries allows us to remember information over time. We can refer to this strategy:

Students are better able to commit information to memory. This happens when they study that information in spaced (or distributed) intervals. Studying “massed” interval(s) does not work as well as spaced.

Studying information over shorter sessions in a longer period of time yields benefits. Given the value of notes, outlines, and summaries, we can revisit content again and again. Providing this information up front to students would help them.

Change That Adds Value

A change that adds value is one definition for “innovation.” In this case, the technology tools shown below are innovations. They not only ease post note-taking, but address the other strategies that work.

Technology enhances outlining and summarizing, making it easy to outline and annotate. The ability to revisit content is helpful here, as is how we interact with that content together.

Let’s explore some digital tools that can provide better support to students’ efforts with strategies that work.

Five Digital Tools

You may be familiar with some of these tools already or be exploring them for the first time. My goal in sharing them is that you do so with the strategies that work in mind. Share these with your students. I address age appropriateness in the descriptions.

outlining

Tool #1: Diigo

Diigo.com is a social bookmarking tool. While the social aspect of learning is important, Diigo does more. It lets you create digital outlines, bookmarks, and highlight websites. You can get a Chrome/Firefox extension, too.

annotating

Diigo makes it easy to annotate and add comments to web pages. You can share your annotations/comments with others and can also do the following:

  • Highlight critical features of text (essential text or text to NOT read)
  • Ask students to define words, terms, or concepts in their own words/language
  • Provide definitions of difficult/new terms
  • Mark up online text with comments, observations, and corrections
  • Add bookmarks for the students to interact with
  • Use the highlighting and sticky notes like a word processor’s Track Changes feature

I first started using Diigo in 2008. There’s a lot to like in Diigo, even if “social bookmarking” has fallen by the wayside. You can see that tools that work, like outlining and summarizing, endure.

Tool #2: Hypothes.is

“Visible, active, and social.” That’s how the no-cost Hypothes.is tool describes itself. Hypothes.is makes it possible for students to “write in the margins” and annotate online text. Even more important, it makes that work social if needed.

Like Diigo, it offers both private and public commenting/annotation options and includes a variety of online resources/videos for those who want to get started:

Are you a Canvas LMS user? How about moodle, Sakai, Schoology, or Blackboard? Or D2L’s Brightspace? If so, you may be happy to learn that Hypothes.is integrates with all of those. You need only add the app to your learning management system (LMS) of choice. There are also resource guides for students and teachers.

Tool #3: Mendeley

Aimed at higher education, Mendeley allows you to annotate what you read. Some of its features include:

  • Add your thoughts on documents in your own library, even from mobile devices
  • Share documents with groups of colleagues and annotate them together
  • Import paper and other documents from your device, existing libraries, or websites
  • Automatic capture of author, title ,and publisher information
  • Have all your annotations and library backed up to the cloud

Mendeley offers “cite as you write” plugins. That means that if you use Microsoft Word or LibreOffice, Mendeley has you covered and supports more than 8,000 citation styles. Although a research tool, you are able to engage in shared annotation like Diigo and Hypothes.is. And, unlike Diigo, but like Hypothes.is, it is no cost.

Tool #4: WeavaTools

WeavaTools has a variety of features at varying costs. It offers some basic citation styles, but nothing like Mendeley. With WeavaTools, you can highlight text, make annotations, clip images, and organize your clips. The free version includes some simple export options like Word, Excel, text, and CSV. The premium version has a monthly cost.

Tool #5: Zotero

Zotero offers collection, organization, citation, and research-sharing options. Although a no-cost service, you can choose to upgrade your storage. This allows you to save everything you have on the computer version of Zotero to the cloud. Zotero works on a variety of platforms. It is more of a citation and research sharing tool. This makes it useful to college students. Some might consider it too complex for high school students, unless advanced.

Using the Five Digital Helpers

If you’re looking for tools to assist you in outlining and summarizing, then these may meet your needs. My recommendation is to take a hard look at Diigo.com and Hypothes.is for use in high school classrooms. Mendeley is great for advanced high school and college students.

The Curation and Sharing of Information

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

As the end of the school year came into sight, colleague Laura Howard in San Angelo ISD wrote me a short request for help. With her permission, allow me to share it with you:

“A few years back at TCEA,” asks Laura Howard in an email, “you had a session on curation and sharing information. You talked about how to weed through information, save it for later, and use tools like IFTTT to set up rules on your social media feeds, etc. Would it be possible for me to get the information you shared at that session?”
“Absolutely!” I replied. “Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to revisit such a popular topic!”

Let’s divide this up into several bite-sized chunks.

What Is Content Curation?

Content curation is a way of managing the firehose of data slamming into us from every device we own, from computer to smartphone. But it is more than just sorting and saving the information flow. It is also about re-sharing it with others, thus making you a trusted source of re-mixed information and ideas. Content curation involves a commitment that you agree to make sense of the world around you for the purpose of sharing it with other educators and especially with your students.

Want to Manage the Flow of Information?

Managing the flow of information can be difficult. That is why you have to identify the following three areas:

  • Source(s) of Information: You have to know where you usually get information and ideas from.
  • Tracking Tool: Once you know where you get your information, you need to decide where you want that information to be stored long-term for easy retrieval. This tracking and retrieval tool should be easy to organize using tags (one-word keywords) and make it simple to share information with others.
  • Sharing Outlet: When you have sifted through the data you want to keep and stored it for retrieval, you will want to decide where and with whom to share it.

Let’s explore these three areas in the context of a real life scenario.

Scenario – Anchor Charts

Loretta just found out she will be facilitating a workshop for her grade level on anchor charts. A quick Google search reveals that there are many places to find example anchor charts, as well as instructions on how to create them, what they should have in them, how they should be created with students, and much more. She also discovered a Twitter chat that is taking place later on the topic, but she will be on the go with only her mobile phone during that time. She wants to capture select tweets. She needs a way to organize the information so it makes sense to her later, as well as makes sense to the teachers she will be working with.

IFTTT Recipe

To help Loretta, let’s break down the problem:

Sources of Information: Loretta has identified several sources of information:

  • Web Searches: Resources are discovered on the web and via her mobile device.
  • Twitter Chat: She needs to capture Twitter chats.

Tracking Tool:

  • Twitter Chat: Loretta doesn’t want to capture EVERY contribution to a Twitter chat, only the ones she happens to notice. She decides to “like” or “heart” every tweet worth keeping. Then, IFTTT will save those select tweets to her OneNote Notebook, which sImage 181he can later organize. Also, she decides to use TweetDeck as a way to monitor multiple twitter chats on her computer because it allows for multiple columns of information. With TweetDeck, she can also schedule tweets to appear. Another option is HootSuite, which works great on mobile devices, a feature TweetDeck does not enjoy.
  • Image 187Web Searches:
    1. Option A – Pocket: Although Loretta has several choices, she decides to use Read It Later’s Pocket because it’s easy to add content via a computer web browser and/or the mobile app. Everything she tags with “anchorcharts” gets sent to her OneNote Notebook (free app) and auto-tweeted with the hashtag #anchorcharts. The auto-tweet and saving to OneNote happens through an IFTTT recipe she set up once when she began.
    2. Option B – Diigo: Another solid choice includes Diigo Social Bookmarking tool, which includes Diigo Browser and Diigo Annotator for your mobile device. Diigo is nice because it includes an outlining tool which Loretta could use to organize her links and resources.

Sharing Outlet: Once she has sifted through her data and stored it for retrieval, Loretta must decide where and with whom to share it.

  • Image 180IFTTT can be used to easily take any tweets that Loretta has liked and tweet them out from her account with the “#anchorcharts” hashtag added to the end. Another option is to use that hashtag to search on and create a Flipboard digital magazine.
  • OneNote: Loretta has accumulated quite a bit of content in OneNote. She decides to just go in and organize it a bit, adding a welcome page and organizing the resources into sections.

Scenario Solution

Image 185Loretta showed up to present to teachers. “How many of you have Twitter accounts?” Only half of the teachers raised their hands. “No problem,” she said. “Just go to my AnchorChart OneNote Notebook (the link is on the screen) and you will find what I’ll be sharing with you. I’ve put my slidedeck underneath the welcome page. We’ll be exploring the anchor chart links and key concepts I learned about this summer in the next 50 minutes.”

“For those of you that have Twitter accounts, if you know about some great anchor chart resources, please tweet them and add the hashtag #anchorcharts. Those items will get added to the OneNote Notebook we are looking at today.”

Wrap Up

As you might imagine, getting Pocket, IFTTT, and OneNote set up for the first time can be a bit of a handful. Once set up though, the hunting, gathering, and sharing system works with minimal interaction. And this system works just as well for grade 5-16 learners for whom a teacher could be curating content, as well as for administrators curating content for staff.

Nonfiction Student Writing Notebooks

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

“My notebooks,” shares Aimee Buckner, author of Nonfiction Notebooks: Strategies for Informational Writing, “make me reflect on what I do as a writer and as a teacher. Sometimes I reflect as I reread, and other times I reflect when I just look at the stack.” As a writer myself, I find Aimee’s point spot on, since having notebooks helps me organize the vastness of ideas and then put them into context. Through the use of OneNote, Diigo.com and IFTTT.com, student writing notebooks can become powerful ways to organize and share the work of writers in the classroom.

“By sixth grade,” points out Australian educator Tony Stead, “children will have spent 84% of writer’s workshop composing personal narratives, stories, and writing from prompts.” Wow, read that again. Now ask yourself how much of the reading that you do as an adult is personal narrative and/or stories? If you’re like me, you’ll see that 90% of the writing I devour as an educator and adult is non-fiction. In fact, most adults read non-fiction MORE than fiction.

Aimee agrees with Tony’s emphasis on non-fiction writing as “a huge genre.” Based on Tony’s well-researched point, as well as Aimee’s, it is critical that students both consume and engage in informational writing. Our students CAN produce non-fiction and hear (via podcasts) and learn the language of non-fiction. Aimee points out that “informational writing,” which she also dubs “explanatory writing,” can have a profound effect on students’ ability to write better.

Let’s review some of the key points from Aimee’s book Nonfiction Notebooks: Strategies for Informational Writing:

  1. Notebooks help students organize what they know and use what they know about.
  2. Notebooks help students “grow their writing and strengthen their ideas” by finding other texts they love and studying how those are put together.
  3. Notebooks can help students plan out organization, flow, and key ideas of their writing.

The writer’s notebook, usually a beautifully-decorated work of paper, stickers, glue, and decorative items that students use to track their ideas, like footprints by fairies in a evergreen forest budding with half-formed observations, is central to our writing process. While many students in classrooms sporting Chromebooks and iPads see the value of word processing their content, tools like OneNote often go unused.

Let’s quickly review the power of each of these tools and then apply them to the key points in Aimee’s book:

  • OneNote.com is a digital notebook, allowing you to organize an almost unlimited number of notes organized into sections in notebooks. You can even create, as Aimee describes in her book, “stacks” of notebooks. You can easily add tags or one-word descriptors to each note. OneNote apps exist on every platform, from Android to iPad to iPhone, as well as on Chromebook, Windows/Mac laptop, or desktop. In short, OneNote works on everything. Furthermore, you can audio record/save/email content (pictures, audio, video, and, my favorite, text) into a notebook. Students can easily use OneNote to engage in collaborative conversations and “group share” about their writing.
  • Share OneNote notebook entries to an RSS feed. Want to spotlight student notebook entries? View the notebook via OneNote Online and bookmark it with Diigo, a social bookmarking tool. Diigo provides you with access to an RSS feed that you can publish and share. This makes automating sharing of bookmarked student writing via IFTTT.com simple and easy.  If you so choose, only those notes tagged with “published” can be shared via the RSS feed. Once you have the RSS feed, you can embed it on any website, as well as auto-publish it to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.

 

Let’s explore these two digital tools in the context of Nonfiction Notebooks key ideas that I highlighted above:

As non-fiction writers, it’s important to find texts that can serve a dual purpose. Many of these texts are not to be found in print magazine and books, but rather, online in their digital equivalents. As a result, students, and you as a teacher, need an easy to way to “clip” content and then share the relevant excerpt with others. Using OneNote 2016 (which is free on all devices), as well as the OneNote clipper, writers can organize content they find in notebooks.

This organization is important because it enables students to make choices about topic and genre and then they can capitalize on the benefits of content curation with their peers.

Here’s how it works:

Ashleigh, an eighth grader, wants to write about her experiences raising a calf. She begins collecting information about raising cows to see how others have approached the topic, clipping certain selections that she likes or wants to refer to while writing her own how-to for inclusion in her piece. She knows that her audience will be other teens, but also a general audience. She mixes her own experiences in, as well as records audio interviews with other friends who have had their own experiences. Ashleigh snaps photos of her calf and attaches pictures she’s taken of her calf to illustrate the steps one must follow. All of this content — pictures, audio, and text — ends up as separate notes in her “How to Raise a Calf” notebook on OneNote.

Rather than having this process of content curation dwell in ignorance and darkness, Ashleigh’s teacher, parents, and friends have been able to follow her growth as a content curator and drafts at her own How-To in real time. This is because Ashleigh is able to choose what to share from her “How to Raise a Calf” notebook online. There is no copy-and-paste, double the effort. When Ashleigh has something to share, she uses Diigo to bookmark the page and tags it with the word “published.” Then, the IFTTT.com recipe picks it up in the Diigo RSS feed and shares it to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets, including blogs. In this way, others can see what Ashleigh is reading and clipping. Furthermore, Ashleigh’s writing piece is auto-published online as she revises. Parents can subscribe to the RSS feed generated by Diigo.com.

As Ashleigh begins to organize a variety of pieces, she can create new notebooks and organize them according to how she and her teacher have decided makes the most sense. This collaborative process enables Ashleigh, and students like her, to “plan out organization, flow, and key ideas of their writing” as an interactive dialogue between teacher and student, student and peers, writer and the world.

One of the key components of student writing is sharing and publishing. While there are many tools for organizing our writing, OneNote + Diigo.com + IFTTT.com make a winning combination for empowering students and teachers. Specifically, it enables them to pull back the veil between that moment when ideas arise from the chaos when those ideas are shaped and informed by information and then blended into a draft of non-fiction writing. Making this living, ever-changing draft of writing, updated as it happens, available online makes them a winning combination. Of course, there are other ways to accomplish this and those approaches are also worth exploring.

Five Ways to a OneNote-tastic Learning Experience

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

Over the last two months, I have been amazed at how easily I have transitioned from other digital organizers to OneNote. Having migrated approximately 10,000 notes from Evernote  to various organizers, including Apple Notes, Centrallo, Evernote, Google Keep, MammothHQ, and SimpleNote, each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages (view comparison chart), OneNote surprised me.

Join the ongoing TCEA Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) SkypeChat via your mobile device or online. Explore and share concepts at the intersection of teaching, learning, leading, and technology!

OneNote serves as a fantastic tool for personal organization and class management. For example, it has the following admirable features:

  • Notebooks can be easily accessed on a wide variety of devices (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows); you do not need a Windows computer to take advantage of the basic features, which are considerable and available at no-cost.
  • Notebooks, each with its own sections that can be password protected or locked with SDES/AES encryption, contain pages that can be created and shared via OneNote Online with anyone.
  • Email content to your Notebook (via me@onenote.com) and save it in a section of your default notebook (set that up in the settings) by including @section_name in the email Subject:.
  • As a sharing tool, it wins hands-down for classroom deployment. Why? As a teacher, I can create materials and share them via a resource notebook for students that they can access on their mobile device. With a Windows computer, I can create Class Notebooks that allow for a collaborative common area, a content library where I can distribute updated documents to each student individually en masse, a real time-saving feature.
  • OneNote’s content and formatting tools boast a GUI interface that is difficult to match, yet relatively uncluttered.

But wait! There’s ONE MORE feature that I have just become aware of. OneNote can be enhanced by add-ons to expand its functionality on Microsoft Windows. If you have OneNote 2013 (or 2016), you can easily install Onetastic, a free multi-purpose add-on reminiscent of the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox. Onetastic enables the use of custom macros such as the following:

  • Create a table of contents for a notebook, a section, or a page using the Table of Contents macros.
  • Use the Search and Replace macro to quickly make adjustments across multiple notebooks or a single notebook, including HTML replacement.
  • Add Excel-like functions to tables such as Sum, Average, Min, Max, Count Numbers, and more.
  • Number all cells in a table, autofill, and other items.
  • Insert monthly calendars into notes.
  • Display a summary page of all recent changes in a notebook or section.
  • And many more macros that provide enhanced functionality non-existent in other tools.

If you haven’t used OneNote, you will want to start soon! It is a must have-organizer for classroom teachers and campus administrators. Here are five ways to create a “onetastic learning experience:”

  1. OneNoteUsing Microsoft Office Lens app on Android/iOS, “scan” documents and save them directly to OneNote.
  2. Using the clipper (e.g. Chrome add-on, Firefox, Edge ), remove web page clutter, then capture pages and content, saving them to the resource notebook you created for your students to use.
  3. Using Diigo Social Bookmarking tool, free for educators and their students, you and your class can bookmark resources to a Diigo Group. The RSS feed for that Diigo Group can then be fed through IFTTT.com and resources auto-saved into the Notebook and Section of your choice, as the teacher. Be sure to read the tutorial here at TCEA!
  4. Create student ePortfolios by granting every student a section in a OneNote notebook (or Class Notebook, which provides even more flexibility) where they can save their work. Then, when they leave or graduate, export that section out so they can “take it with them.” You can embed documents, pictures, and videos in the pages of that ePortfolio.
  5. Help students and staff keep notes by creating a page template such as Cornell Note-Taking or meeting notes for OneNote. Students and staff can “import” that into their OneNote 2016 program and then use it. Or, if only the teacher has OneNote 2016 and students are using OneNote Online, then the teacher can do it.

If you aren’t using OneNote Online, OneNote 2016, and the Onetastic tool with all the great macros that come with it, then you are missing out!

Microsoft Tips and Tricks

Save Websites to Your OneNote Notebook Quickly

by Miguel Guhlin
written by Miguel Guhlin

Wouldn’t it be powerful if you, as a teacher or educator, could bookmark content on the web and then have it automatically archived for student viewing in a Microsoft OneNote notebook? When I did that earlier today, the process worked like magic. And all you need is your free Microsoft OneNote account, a free Diigo for Educators account, and a free If This Then That (IFTTT.com) account.

Note: Do you have a OneNote Notebook for students set up? For the purposes of this blog entry, let’s call it “World History – First Period” without quotes. Inside that Notebook, create a Section called “Resources,” which is where your new web page links will be saved when you bookmark them using Diigo.

Step 1 – Create accounts, if you don’t already have them.

  1. Create your free Diigo for Education Account.
  2. Create your free IFTTT.com account.
  3. OneNote, available at no-cost, requires a Microsoft account. If you don’t have one already, you can always set one up for free.

Step 2 – Install the Diigo Bookmark Tool

Depending on what browser you want to use (or all of them), you can install a Diigo add-on tool that will enable you to quickly save bookmarks on your computer. If you are on mobile, then install the Diigo Browser app to facilitate quick browsing and saving.

Once you have Diigo installed, try bookmarking web pages and adding a one-word descriptor or tag as shown in the image above. Diigo will try to help you by suggesting additional tags that others have used.

Step 3 – Set Up your IFTTT.com Recipe

Creating a recipe is pretty easy in IFTTT, but if you have never done it, you may want to watch this how-to video first or read this MakeUseOf.com tutorial.

Below is the IFTTT recipe I created that places any new public bookmarks tagged “tceamie,” which represents TCEA Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE), in Diigo into my OneNote notebook for MIE one-day training participants.

In the boxes above, you would fill in the appropriate information about your OneNote. What’s neat about this is that you don’t have to use Diigo. You can pull content from Twitter, Instagram and a dozen other social media services.

Isn’t that a cool approach? Bookmark your resources with Diigo and auto-save them into OneNote where they can be shared with students and/or teachers. If you get stuck, don’t be afraid to make contact via TCEA.org.
