SMART Webinar Series: Taking Your Notebook Lessons to the Next Level with Lumio

Hello. Hello. Welcome to our ready set smart webinar series where we are providing continuous opportunities highlighting smart tools. Our getting started sessions are designed to give you a beginner's view into smart products and build your confidence as you integrate these tools into your classroom. Today, we will show you how to take your notebook lessons to the next level with Lumio as an instructional tool for engaging students. My name is Asha. And I am a customer success manager from Florida. Today's webinar features myself and Jennifer Underwood. Also a customer success manager from Florida. We encourage your participation. Be supporting the chat if you have any questions or ideas you'd like to share. At the end of today's webinar, additional resources will be shared in the chat. And for participating today, a certificate will be provided after you complete a brief survey. At this point, I'm gonna turn things over to Jennifer so that we can get started with today's webinar, taking your notebook lessons, to the next level with Lumio. Wow. Thank you, ASHA. I'm so excited to be sharing. How to make that happen. Very excited to be with you. And in today's webinar, we are gonna learn how to, just Understand the benefits of LumiO. We're gonna also share your lesson to the smart your smart accounts. Your notebook lesson. We're gonna talk about enhancing and engaging your lesson with some additional elements inside of LumiO. And we're gonna look at how to deliver your lesson through LumiO, whether it's a live lesson or a student share link. So on that agenda, let's start off with our benefits of taking that smart notebook lesson and taking it to the next level. Right? So there's lots of different benefits. So I'm not gonna read all of this to you, but I'm gonna give you the highlights. With your smart notebook, bringing it into LumiO for delivery or even some additional creation, there is the opportunity to increase interactivity with students. Students are able to follow along with your lesson and be connected to your lesson right inside of LumiO. So they can process information. They can collaborate with each other. They can manipulate information that you've created and really take that rigor to the next level of thinking. Inside of Limio, you can also transform your lessons. In smart notebook, maybe you've created a lesson that is very, teacher based. Right? Like, I own the information in the content, and I can share certain aspects. But when I'm delivering my lesson inside of LumiO, I am able to really transform that lesson. I can add elements, maybe go from that static to, more interactive and collaborative and provide an active learning experience for students. With other notebook files, I can bring in some pdfs, Google slides, PowerPoint, docs. We're gonna talk about that and show that in a little more depth. I can also grab resources at the ready. So there's graphic organizers. There's manipulatives, exit tickets. Think of kind of the smart notebook gallery and transforming that concept into additional features and tools that are all based on students interacting with your content. I can also create collaborative spaces. I can assign any page that I've created, maybe that static page into an independent handout, a group workspace, a whole class whiteboard, and even more. Feels like we can go beyond that. With what students are able to do in that collaborative LumiO lesson. And I have flexible delivery. I can switch between student pace, teacher pace with a click of a button, I can easily move from a live lesson, grab a student share link, and have students work on this exact lesson inside and outside of class, and all of their data will come back into my Lumio lesson. So lots of benefits, great, exciting experience when you are ready to transform your lessons. So here's a lesson that I've added into my file here. It's all about the scientific method. Alright. So I have a couple pages. We're gonna just walk through. Probably similar to what a lesson of yours in notebook might look like. Right? Right? I have my activating strategy. Of little brainstorming about maybe some different experiment ideas. I have pulled in a video, a YouTube video from my add ons that you are familiar with in Smart Notebook. I have also brought in a game based activity. So I have created a rank order right from those activities here at the top. And I have found an image in my add ons. And or this might have been in my gallery. I think it was in the add ons though, because it has this little web link here. So I brought in an image And I want students to use this image as kind of a workflow, right, a little bit of a graphic organizer some supports for students. I've replicated that with my, lines and shapes and arrows, and I've also created what many of us love to create in notebook are some instructions. Right? So I have my instruction tab here. I don't have to waste space. On my landscape of where I want students to work, I can kind of slide this and you'll notice it's it's locked to only move horizontally. Is something if you are a notebook user you're familiar with. So just some, like, set of instructions And you'll find that when we move these into LumiO, all of these same elements and features will transfer. So of my four pages here in my lesson, I wanna take this and just bring that to the next level. Right? So what does that look like? Well, we're gonna start with adding this to your smart account. To do that, I'm gonna walk you through it. We're gonna go up to the top to file, and you're going to see that share share link, right, the share area. Normally, you would share, maybe shared with a colleague, share so you're working smarter, not harder. Right? And everybody's have, like, a little part of creating some lessons for your students. So I'm gonna select share You'll notice this center image is gonna pop up in a second. I'm gonna upload to my smart account. Smart notebook users may not always realize that you can sign in to your Smart notebook, and when you have been added or provisioned to your smart accounts, it allows you the all of the wonderful elements inside of LumiO as well. So I'm gonna click upload to my smart account. I'm gonna get this third icon or this third picture here. So if I wanna grab that share link, which I might traditionally have done, I can get the share link here and copy it and give it to another teacher to use, but I want this lesson to populate into my smart account or my LumiO account. So I am going to click done. It's gonna do it all magically behind the scenes. I don't even need the share link. And I am going to just minimize this window and head into my LumiO account. Let's make that nice and big. And as I am giving it a second, I might have to refresh because I had my page open. So if you are familiar with Lumio, it's going to take you right to your main dashboard. All of my lessons come in sequentially by time, right, or day. So today, here's my smart notebook lesson. And I'm gonna click edit. Before I click edit though, I just wanna kinda walk you through a few things here on your page, but there are other great LumiO sessions that ASHA, my partner in crime here, is also leading. So if you aren't as familiar with LumiO, as you'd like be, sign up for her getting started sessions because they are a great way to walk through all of the specific details inside of LumiO. But I'm gonna come back to today's lesson, and I'm gonna click edit. So now I'm in edit mode. You can tell that I'm in edit mode. There is a blue bar across the top here. I have my title, which I can actually adjust. Right? So I can make some edits and some tweaks. We'll just take off the August date because now I know I'm in LumiO. It saves automatically I do like to point out, make sure it already says saved before you click away from this tab or this, page. And just to kind of browse through. Right? So when I'm done editing, I'm gonna come up here to finish editing. Alright. If we go all the way over to the right hand side of the screen, you'll see this little tucking head here. This is our instructional audio. So this is something that you'll find in Lumio that is not available in notebook, but building a notebook still doesn't prevent you from being able to add that when you transform this lesson and bring it in, right, taking it to the next level. So I'm gonna head here to my, my first page of my lesson. Right? And I'll show you how we can delete some of these other pages because they are not part of my lesson, but they were part of my, initial file. And that'll happen. You'll have times where you'll have some pieces that you've created. Maybe it's a lesson that you used last year or maybe the year before, and you still know that the meat of that lesson is exactly what you want. There's just some pages that you wanna tweak. But let's first go and pull up some instructional audio. So this page is kind of blaine plain. It's kind of, just that activating strategy. I'm gonna add some audio to it to show you how to do it, and then we're gonna also look at some of the event available resources inside of LumiO to maybe even take this page to the next level. But once I click on my instructional audio, Gonna click start recording. Hi, students, share all of your ideas about what experiment you would like to solve for in our scientific method lesson. I'm gonna click pause. From here, you can see I can record up to five minutes of audio. I can fast forward. I can delete. Here. I can start over. I can also continue recording from where I left off. I know sometimes it takes me multiple takes to actually get across what I'm trying to convey. So sometimes it's really nice to be able just to continue to record, right, pause, and then keep going. So I'm gonna keep it the way it is. It's not perfect, but I think you get the idea. Gonna click add, and you'll notice that instructional audio adds to my page right here for students to click on and see from their device. So this little magic wand is our next element that I wanna share with you inside of LumiO. And this magic wand allows me to create this very static kind of blank page, right, into an individual handout where students can see and operate and kind of manipulate this page for their on their own copy. I can turn this into a group workspace. So maybe depending upon how I see my students are working, I can, make smaller groups or I can even select to convert this page into a whole group white space activity. Right? So my whole glass can work on this whiteboard together. If I'm not sure which one I want, I want I love pointing out these little graduation caps are here. For you to be able to kinda see it in action. Right? So let's, let's say we're gonna see what the whole class whiteboard space looks like. So here's my little video, walks me through like a two minute tutorial right inside the page. I don't have to navigate a way to kind of find some help. As I move into the center of the page, I have some other tools. So if my experiment ideas was kind of plane and I wanted to add some additional text to it, I could select my a and add maybe I wanna add some instructions for students. Right? Maybe I, want to go to my lines and shapes, which is this icon all the way to the right, I could, maybe I'm just gonna grab this box. Right? And this is the box that we're gonna use. I might even lock it. This is the box that we'll use for students to, select which experiment idea they wanna use. Right? So maybe I can add some additional elements to this. It can also keep things moving around. I have my pen. I have my eraser, and then I have my hand, which is the cursor. If this was a math activity, I'm just gonna show you all the things. Right? If this was a math activity, I could use my math equation editor or my chem type editor, and I add some things that you can also find in notebook, like my, fractions or my square roots or any of those other equation editors, that I don't wanna lose sight of, I can also pull into my LumiO lesson as well. I don't know if you saw it, but there's that little graduation cap at the top up there. So the next part of my lesson was my YouTube video. The YouTube video looks a little different in LumiO than it does in Smart notebook. In my, Lumio lesson, it takes up the entire page, and students will get a play link. So it's not that I have to own when we play how it works. Students can also, when I turn this lesson over to them, and they connect to my class. In delivery mode, they can also play and see the video as well. I have my rank order. Rank orders just like the others. Maybe this is where I'm gonna add a title, notice it's saving, and it's going to say saved. I can preview if this was an older lesson that I wanted to, to pull in, but maybe I've made some changes. I can edit and go back into the themes, which you've all seen if you are from earlier with notebook and been using those. And notice I have my instructional audio again, right? On every page, you're gonna see that. So I'm gonna pull down to my last page. It brings in my image from notebook just as intended. I have my, graphic organizer here on the side that I've actually built and locked So if I click on it, I can unlock it and make any changes I want, even if I locked it inside of notebook. And then I have my little instructions here. Notice that this pullout tab, it's I can't move it up or down. I can't yeah. I can't move it vertically, but I still can move it horizontally. But I can unlock and make those changes if I need to. Right? So once I've unlocked it, I can then manipulate and move things. My some of my behaviors will be lost. If it's if it's the way I want it, I'm probably just gonna leave it, though, just so that I can make it easy on myself for this lesson. So those are the four pages of my lesson. I wanna go back up to the top though because I wanna look at these little three dots. And I don't need these pages. Right? So I'm gonna go to my three dots and click delete. Delete. Delete. So we talked about this page being a little plain. Right? It's saved. Now I have just my four pages that I needed for my lesson, but I'm gonna go to this blue plus down here in the bottom left. From this page, here's where Lumio just kind of uncover the magic. Right? So here's where if I had some additional pages that I wanted to add to my lesson, I could import those resources. Maybe I have a PowerPoint that I can edit inside of the inside of my lesson. I could grab things from my computer, other notebook files. I could grab my PDF, my PowerPoint, I also, if I'm connected to Google Drive, if my district is a Google district and I have made those connections, I can pull in a slide deck a PDF, a document, anything from my Google Drive, I can add and layer on to these pages that I've built in notebook. I can also go to my library. Right? So in my library are other lessons that I have inside of LumiO as well. So I'm gonna head over for a moment to graphic organizers. So remember that plain page, right, that experiment ideas page, maybe I wanna create it as a brainstorming web. Or maybe I want to scroll down and see what are other my options? Right? Do I want to have, like, a nice image that's instead of just a plain page kinda brings it up a notch. Lots of graphic organizers to pick from, but I do think I wanna stick with my original brainstorming web. So maybe instead of this page, I'm now gonna have this brainstorming web. Gonna grab my Text, my experiment ideas, gonna make it a little bigger. I'm gonna lock that in place, so students don't move it around. And I'm also going to add my audio. What are all the different experiment ideas that you would like to try? Gonna add, and I'm gonna convert this page to a whole class whiteboard. Right? Maybe probably don't need the audio with the whole class whiteboard, but I'm gonna go for it. I can even change the title to Experiment ideas, just to kinda give you a full sense of all the things that I can do to enhance this lesson. So maybe now this page I'm not gonna use. Right? So we're gonna delete it. I'm gonna leave the video as it is. I love my game based activity. I am gonna go back down to my plus, and I wanna just kinda point out a few other things. So we've pulled in a graphic organizer that was already made. There are manipulatives. Doesn't really go with my theme at the moment, but there are other manipulatives that you can explore. We know every great lesson has a question and reflection at the end. I wanna point out that these are those ready made reflection summaries, different ways that you can wrap up A lesson at the end. We all we know that best practice, right, about having something at the end that gives students the opportunity to reflect So I might add my six word summary. Gonna move it here. Down one. So on this page, I can preview it. It's just a nice template with a nice image. It's already built into a handout because we're gonna have students work independently, and they're just gonna create a six word summary based on this little mini lesson on scientific method. Right? Tell us a little bit about what you learned in this lesson with this summary. So I'm gonna leave that. I also, though, I feel like I don't know. Maybe I need, like, another page or two. So I want to head over to, I can do it from my plus. Right? I wanna kinda search the LumiO library. So let's do it from here first. Gonna type in scientific method And it is going to bring up things that are in the LumiO library, and I'm gonna show you where that is in a minute. Outside of within my lesson edit mode. And it's also, for those of you smart notebook users, it's going to bring in things that would have come from the smart notebook exchange. So remember those lessons, those activities, where, everyone kind of shared things that they were making. So lots of options. Right? The smart, the Lumio Library might be something new to you. But you also have that familiarity of some of those older resources that are in this notebook smart notebook exchange or the smart exchange. I'm gonna go with this first one here, this, little mini lesson, and it is actually a word search. So it's a word search that is in Lumio, but this particular game based activity is not available in notebook. So another thing add to the many benefits is sometimes you find resources and tools that you just don't have possible and notebook. So you can add those after. So I'm gonna save that to my library. As that's coming in, Give it a moment. Check-in with ASHA about any questions that might be in the chat. So far, so good. It's really amazing how you're able to, you know, import your notebook lesson and really transform it here in LumiO and make it more engaging for your students? Yes. It does. It does take it to the next level. For sure. So many features here. Alright. So it's going. But for time, I'm gonna click cancel for a minute. Yes. I'm gonna stop my import. Ensure this is something about my machine. Right? So I'm gonna click finish editing, and I'm gonna show you exactly where we can find this. So I'm gonna take you out of my lesson for a moment. To finish editing. So you this looks familiar right. We're back at my home screen. I had selected edit to go in and edit, but I don't want you to miss that word search, so I'm gonna take us to the top, to the LumiO library. And I am gonna search again scientific method. Right? As teachers, we always have some more grounds when things don't go quite as we want them. So same thing. You'll notice this is that same selection, and here is even my word search again. So I'm gonna grab it from here this time. Just to see if that will save us a few moments pulling it in. So I'm gonna save it to my library. And nope. Gonna dismiss it. Maybe that one has something going on with it. So let's see. Let's check on this little mini lesson. A flip out. So we're familiar with flip outs. We'll have to find out what's going on with that word search, but we can add this flip out to my activity. I definitely recommend when you are, and maybe it's just that that particular activity itself. I definitely recommend exploring some of the game based activities that are not available in smart notebook. Such as Team quiz and Word Search. So I'm gonna click dismiss, and I'm gonna head back into my Lumio Library. So I wanna add this flip out. I just wanna show you how quickly it how simple and quickly it can be done. I'm gonna click edit gonna head down to my plus. So this plus is, like, the best place to go. And I am going to come into my import resources. So remember, this is in my library. All my existing Lumio lessons. I'm gonna click my library. I'm gonna click on that scientific method mini lesson. Right? So I can select from anything that I've created, and it only has one page. So I'm just gonna pull in that one page. I'm gonna preview it. So just kind of like determining, is this what I want? Do I need to make any edits? Any changes, it looks good, capitalizes on all of the main points of my scientific method. And I'm gonna shift that in the page order, maybe down a little bit. Right. So we're gonna put them in order in my rank order. And then maybe we're gonna work on this flip out activity as well. Alright. Well, my lesson is good to go. It is saved, and I am going to click finish editing. Now you might be wondering how do I get this lesson to my students. So I am going to click start because I wanna first share it with the whole group. Right? This is gonna be a live lesson that we are gonna work through together. Notice my blue bar at the top was in edit mode is now the black lines on the side, which indicates to me that I am in delivery mode. So I'm gonna select my roster here, my little student icon, and I am going to have students join my class. This is just demonstration, so don't worry. You don't have to join my class right now. But you would send students to hello smart dot com. They would join with your class ID. And in those LumiO webinars, we talk through how to create your class, how to connect students to your lesson. So if you need to learn a little bit more about that, please register for those additional sessions. I also have the option to grab a class link, a code, Right? I can copy this code and I can add it to, maybe my LMS or any other resource that students can get to electronically, and they can go quickly to my class without having to, type in a bunch of additional information. And I also can have students join me with a QR code. So a few different options here. Once students have joined my class, I have all of these different activities that I can walk them through. Down here with my navigation tools. I can also move this lesson pacing and change it from t you're pacing to student pacing. So what you'll see on your side, on the student side is students will have these, up and down arrows and be able to navigate freely in between additional pages. So if they need to listen to some instructional audio, maybe watch the video a few times before completing a task they are able to do that as they can move through this lesson on their own. So I'm gonna go up to my little pancake menu here, and I am going to go over to share. Let's say, for example, that we got halfway through this lesson, or I wanted to to be able to go take what we've done in class and work on it outside of class, or work on it maybe at their desks independently. I can select this share icon and get a student access link. This student link will allow students to have their own copy of the lesson, work on the different pages, and pull it back in, I will have all the data pulled back into my Lumio lesson. So talk about next level. Right? We can work on this class lesson as a class, and I can distribute less this lesson to all my students to work on and continue to gather all of their data, whether we're inside a class or working as an extension of the classroom. Alright. So that is definitely a lot of information, but a lot of great information. That I think you'll really enjoy being able to take your smart notebook lesson to the next level. So many ways and benefits, so many additional enhancements, and then how easy it is to connect students live, or get that share link. So now it's your turn. Right? We're gonna ask that you give it a try. So your challenge is to open and exist smart notebook lesson. We're gonna ask you to go up to that share link in the file and share it to your Lumio or your smart account. Gonna enhance the lesson, edit the lesson that you've created in notebook, delete things, add things, create new pages, new activities, convert those pages into handouts, work spaces, small groups, activities, and then deliver that lesson. To student devices, right? Have them connect. When you select that start button, have them connect, join your class, and interacts with the materials that you've shared, creating a very active learning experience for your students. We know it's not gonna be completely easy the first time. Right? So join us again at the end of this You will also get a recording and a follow-up email and some other resources. So Osh is gonna be adding to the chat. Our additional notebook resources. I think we also have some Lumio resources there for you to also kinda make those connections. With I'm familiar with the notebook stuff, but I really wanna start learning about how to take these lessons to the next level. And for participating with us today, we would love to hear your feedback. So there is a Very short. I think it's about five questions. Feedback survey. Once you've answered your questions, there'll be a link for you to download your participation certificate and customize that. Kind of a thank you for learning with us today. Alright. Well, it has been a pleasure. Helping kinda highlight all of the reasons and the whys behind taking your smart notebook lesson to the next level with LumiO can really make a big difference in your classroom. Taking that static content, adding those interactive and enhanced elements, those features, those ways for students to connect to the content. And make the most of their devices, right, through collaboration and independent work that they can achieve through your LumiO lesson. I thank you all for joining. Thank you, Asha, for manning the chat. Thank you, Jennifer, for walking us through this. It was great being able to see, you know, how I could take my smart notebook lesson and bring it into Lumi. I mean, it's so easy to do and then also very easy to enhance it and and utilize those features that Lumio offers. So, hopefully, our smart notebook users feel, more comfortable and confident after this webinar to go and, check Lumio out. I agree. Alright. Well, thank you all for your time, and we hope to see you at the next session. Whether it'd be the Lumio sessions, or if you happen to have a smart board, maybe it's at our getting started with my queue session. Thank you all, and have a great rest of your day.
