So yeah, thank you again for your time. Don't forget 30 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,820 about the questions button. My good friend and colleague and Desha is there and she'll try to get 31 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:43,120 to as many questions as she can. 32 00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:01,690 Okay. 33 00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:05,590 So here's a little agenda of what I want to talk through. 34 00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:08,130 As much as this is to give you a little preview. 35 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:11,990 It's also to help myself stay organized just creating this. 36 00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:17,230 So I'm going to focus a little bit on what Grace Lake is utilizing. 37 00:03:18,050 --> 00:03:23,090 This is some special things that I've discussed with Tracy and Gina ahead of time. 38 00:03:23,230 --> 00:03:26,130 Things that they wanted to specifically share with you all tonight. 39 00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:33,650 then I will jump in and become a student at Gray's Lake. I'm going to demo as 40 00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:39,190 a student and the platform that I show you will look exactly as your students see 41 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:44,250 it. So I want to just show off and highlight some of the really awesome tools 42 00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:49,490 that your students can utilize even when they're not in school. Imagine that at 43 00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:53,570 home. They could go on school links. Even after they graduate and I'll talk 44 00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:58,190 about that too. And then finally, I will show you just what you can do as a guardian. 45 00:03:59,650 --> 00:04:06,450 Okay, so if you don't know what schoolings is at all, this is a college and career readiness 46 00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:15,050 platform. We say that this is our all-in-one student success platform. So as a company and as a software, 47 00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:22,010 we offer tons of tools for your district and students to utilize. I'm not going to spend time 48 00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:27,290 going through these today but we just like to show all of the different things we do and you'll 49 00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:32,730 see a good taste of that tonight. Instead of telling you all about these things I will just mention 50 00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:41,490 that 39 out of the top 50 schools in the four major north counties of Illinois utilize school 51 00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:49,450 links and over 80% of students north of I-80 use school links nowadays. So we're really excited and 52 00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:51,810 and proud of this, and we also want to let you know 53 00:04:51,810 --> 00:04:55,630 that you're right there along with a lot of other districts 54 00:04:55,630 --> 00:04:57,470 and guardians and students using schoolings too. 55 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,940 Okay, so some of the main features 56 00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:04,860 that your district is utilizing, 57 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,500 one is the course planner tool. 58 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,340 So using this tool, your students can create graduation plans 59 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,520 so this can mean making a plan for courses 60 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:25,280 that fit a particular career pathway or area of interest for up to four years of planning. 61 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:32,660 What we say is that this process and our tool and sort of the user interface that students use, 62 00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,120 it really does empower them to make informed choices. 63 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,400 So, I'm showing you a little screenshot here of a summary page of a student's four-year graduation plan. 64 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,920 They're taken through a guided process where they can select courses for every single subject 65 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,780 for their entire time at high school. 66 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,640 On this page, students also get feedback about if they're meeting graduation requirements, 67 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,620 what credits they've earned, and again, are they aligned with the requirements for a career 68 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:05,160 pathway. 69 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,140 Another thing that this does is also support the Gray's Lake staff. 70 00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:20,640 So counselors are able to interact with this view of students' course plans and help support them to, again, make smart informed choices for the future. 71 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:31,200 So, as I mentioned, again, I'm just giving you a little taste here of the process so that you can see how easy and powerful this is. 72 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:41,760 I mean, just saying that my students can plan for all of their courses for high school and be aligned with what they want to accomplish after they graduate is pretty awesome. 73 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,800 and to see it in this just like simple, straightforward format is really nice. 74 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,680 So I'm just showing you a little bit of how students will step through and actually select courses for each grade level, 75 00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:58,620 even utilize preset sequences of courses that the district sets up for them. 76 00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:04,040 It's really awesome, again, as they create these plans, they're getting real-time feedback 77 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,320 if they're meeting certain requirements in subject areas, for pathways or for graduation. 78 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Okay, 79 00:07:13,210 --> 00:07:28,090 and what else the last thing that I wanted to say about the course planner was that multiple people see the same view and it allows them to review and edit and adjust and tune a students plan for graduation altogether. 80 00:07:28,090 --> 00:07:34,830 other. So staff members see these course plans. Students obviously are a huge part in making selections 81 00:07:34,830 --> 00:07:39,610 for these course plans. They have a lot of, um, it's sort of empowered students to make the 82 00:07:39,610 --> 00:07:46,870 choices that they want to make. And guardians, you also will have a chance to review course plans as 83 00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:55,970 well. So, um, something to look forward to. A tool that, um, I could spend an entire hour talking 84 00:07:55,970 --> 00:08:02,510 about or many hours talking about is the work-based learning program. Another thing that your district 85 00:08:02,510 --> 00:08:10,330 has chosen to get for your students and for your district community. There's a lot of aspects that 86 00:08:10,330 --> 00:08:17,670 go into the work-based learning program and process, but many of these things often center around 87 00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:24,770 students getting opportunities for internship and employment and work-based learning experiences. 88 00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:31,790 So there's a whole suite of tools and processes that we can utilize with the work-based learning 89 00:08:31,790 --> 00:08:32,230 feature. 90 00:08:32,730 --> 00:08:38,310 And again, some of the most important things are how your students are finding opportunities 91 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:42,490 and interests that they will seek out as they move forward. 92 00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:52,800 So some of the things that your district will likely be utilizing, again, we've talked 93 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,900 about this specifically at your district. 94 00:08:54,900 --> 00:09:04,320 So this is not just a generic pitch about our tool in school links, but instead some of the things that your students are likely going to encounter. 95 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:20,800 So being able to keep track of and organizing time sheets, student evaluations, even communications and forms between all of the interested parties, which can include guardians, the students, the supervisors and obviously the staff members that graze like as well. 96 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,940 So, again, in just a brief session like this, I would love to go give you an entire 97 00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:31,520 tour of how the work-based learning program works and how Grace Lake might use 98 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,440 that to support their student internships. But for tonight's meeting, I guess I 99 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,180 just want to let you all know that this is there for you and your students. It's 100 00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:45,780 really there for your families. So the work-based learning program and focusing on 101 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:49,180 student internships is something that is really important. 102 00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:58,690 Okay, something that is related to these work-based learning 103 00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:02,350 experiences is actually being able to track them. 104 00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:07,590 So one of the tools that we use in order to do this is the 105 00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:13,150 experienced tracker. So your district is setting up categories of 106 00:10:13,150 --> 00:10:16,950 experiences that students might have and your students are able to go 107 00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:22,530 in and log entries for themselves based on the experiences that they have. Now this might 108 00:10:22,530 --> 00:10:29,370 seem simple and trivial but I think back to my own days as a pretty successful high school 109 00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:34,850 student, one who was, you know, focused academically and trying to do all of the right things, 110 00:10:34,990 --> 00:10:40,710 I never kept track of any of the experiences that I had. Whether I had a part-time job in the summer 111 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:46,770 or I was a leader at a youth group or for a sports club, I did a lot of those things but I never 112 00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:53,810 really kept track of them. And later on when I had to submit an application or try to get a job 113 00:10:53,810 --> 00:10:59,790 or try to get a scholarship, I had to do a lot of backtracking and finding out all of those 114 00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:03,610 details that I really should have been keeping track of. So now with school links, 115 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:08,730 your students are going to be taught how to track and log these experiences throughout their entire 116 00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:14,550 high school career. And what I wanted to show you with this next slide is that by doing that 117 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:20,670 that in their profile in school links, they can actually translate those experiences into 118 00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:21,430 a resume. 119 00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:27,430 So by doing just a simple task of logging, who was my supervisor, what organization did 120 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:33,510 I work with, how long, and on what dates did I have this experience, this will get housed 121 00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:38,070 on the student's professional profile on school links, and they can use it to automatically 122 00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:39,590 generate a resume for themselves. 123 00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:44,570 So when I jump over to the student side, I'll show you a little bit more how that looks. 124 00:11:44,590 --> 00:11:48,690 I think it's really exciting when you get to just, again, see what your students go through. 125 00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:52,090 And so I'll show you how this tool works. 126 00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:56,950 And if you want to do it with your student at home, go ahead and start logging their experiences, 127 00:11:57,250 --> 00:12:00,890 keeping track of all the great things that they're doing, the awards that they get. 128 00:12:01,070 --> 00:12:05,850 They were the captain of the team or had a lead solo in a concert. 129 00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:08,830 they can log all of that stuff in their schoolings profile. 130 00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:15,610 So a really fun and powerful tool, I think every student at your district should know, 131 00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:19,270 and I think now they do know that they have this tool available to them. 132 00:12:19,450 --> 00:12:22,010 So you can support them to utilize it too as guardians. 133 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,740 All right, I'm going to briefly go over the event scheduler. 134 00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:34,800 This is another awesome thing that your district uses to organize experiences for your students. 135 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:48,560 So now on schoolings students will be able to see what events they have available to them like college rep visits, career fairs, workshops, anything that's your district and the team that I work with so closely 136 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:55,640 decide to essentially advertise to students as an opportunity on school 137 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,020 links. Students can easily see what those opportunities are, register for them, 138 00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:07,540 and importantly, get notifications that they have an event coming up. So if you 139 00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,740 don't feel like you need to remind your student of everything that they have on 140 00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:15,520 their schedule, school links help them out with some reminders that that college 141 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,680 a drop visit is coming up, 142 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,580 or they have that workshop tomorrow 143 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,140 during their lunch period. 144 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,160 Okay, I think I'll pass over this a little bit. 145 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:31,380 Yep, and just highlight again some of the things. 146 00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:33,760 I just sometimes I like to give a little bit of a view 147 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,360 and the inside of what we see on school links, 148 00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:38,680 sort of from the staff side is like, 149 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,700 how are we working with the school links tool? 150 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,960 So, and it's just really nice to see like, 151 00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:46,540 hey, people like Gina and Tracy are going behind the scenes 152 00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:49,300 and setting up things like college rep visits 153 00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,100 it's and parent nights like tonight and things like that. 154 00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:55,000 And all of this has the underlying goal 155 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,780 of supporting your children and their opportunities. 156 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,940 So I just think it's super neat. 157 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,780 And we all just wanted to share that with you a little bit. 158 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,340 Okay, finally, the college application manager. 159 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,820 If you haven't already experienced this, 160 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,580 if your student is not a 12th grader yet, 161 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,040 Grace Lake, along with many other districts, 162 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:22,060 as I mentioned are utilizing school links to fulfill and send off college 163 00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:27,680 application documents. So students are making requests for letters of 164 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,340 recommendation. Counselors and teachers are writing letters of recommendation 165 00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:37,840 and your students are sending off their transcripts and their schedules and all 166 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,980 of these documents to the schools that they dream about going to. So it's really 167 00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:49,360 they need. Again, this is where I will sort of bring my reality and role into the picture. 168 00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:56,260 I'm working with people like Gina and Tracy five days a week during this season to help 169 00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:59,500 all of these processes go well and everyone involved is. 170 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,020 Engaged and focused, and it's just really nice to see, again, so many people involved supporting your students. So, yeah, in addition to just really accomplishing and fulfilling the college application process, this tool is also helping your students by just keeping track of everything that they need to submit to those institutions, helping them monitor the progress and keep track of all of those requirements. 171 00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:35,820 So submitting test scores and submitting forms for financial aid and actually going and submitting those applications. 172 00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:39,860 Students are using school links to help them through that. 173 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,480 Again, I'll show this off a little bit when we see the tools that your students can utilize. 174 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,220 But I can't help just showing how cool and neat this process and this tool is. 175 00:15:52,580 --> 00:15:55,420 I'll show you how this college search feature works. 176 00:15:55,420 --> 00:15:59,320 but essentially students have this great platform 177 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,280 where they can learn about any school 178 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,220 that you can think of in this country. 179 00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:07,020 They can use different strategies 180 00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:08,620 to help them find the right school 181 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,180 and they can really just learn a lot about the school 182 00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:15,600 because we've organized an entire index of information 183 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,920 about each school. 184 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,440 So students can learn about the graduation 185 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,620 and acceptance rates, the admission stats, 186 00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:27,640 the calls and financial aid and so many other things, including virtual reality tours and videos 187 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,740 from actual students. So again, I don't want to spoil any of what I'm going to show you, but 188 00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:39,820 I just want to gain your interest a little bit here. So with the college application process, 189 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,880 as I said, they can actually sort of analyze their chances of getting into certain schools, 190 00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:52,260 make decisions about which schools they want to apply to or prioritize, all through schooling. 191 00:16:52,260 --> 00:17:00,720 So as I mentioned, students will request teachers of letters of recommendation and keep track of their applications. 192 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,820 Again, I just want to show you this so you know this is going on. 193 00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:08,620 If you never see your students schoolings page, just know that they're working on this stuff. 194 00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:11,160 They're working on their applications on schoolings. 195 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,400 They're setting them up and keeping track of everything. 196 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,000 So it's just I think important to share with you all. 197 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:19,280 Cool. All right. 198 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,780 Alright, I wanted to finish that first section in 20 minutes or less. 199 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,060 I'm going to just pause here for a moment to let you throw some questions into the 200 00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:33,660 questions section and Dacia, I think, has been in there answering some of them. 201 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,760 I'm going to jump into just to take a look and I'll also ask, is everything sounding and 202 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,620 looking alright? 203 00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:43,340 Can you see the slides okay and can you hear me okay? 204 00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:45,160 I just always want to double check that. 205 00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:47,940 everything is clear. 206 00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:55,610 A deep question for whoever asks, how does this relate to the common app? 207 00:17:56,710 --> 00:18:01,930 We can't go too deep into that, but just know that we actually integrate directly with common app. 208 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:06,930 So students are still going to be using common app to actually fill out their applications, 209 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:10,910 but everything that they do in common app is coming back into schoolings 210 00:18:10,910 --> 00:18:13,250 so that they can manage all of their applications, 211 00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:15,690 whether it's common app or not common app. 212 00:18:16,490 --> 00:18:17,470 So great question. 213 00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:20,330 I'm sure in day show was like, 214 00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:21,890 oh my gosh, how do I answer this one? 215 00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:22,650 This is a deep one. 216 00:18:25,860 --> 00:18:26,880 A copy of the presentation. 217 00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:27,980 Yes, okay. 218 00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:34,120 Cool. 219 00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:34,700 I 220 00:18:39,370 --> 00:18:45,350 think this is where I want to get out of my presentation here. 221 00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:49,470 And I want to just jump in right here. 222 00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:52,260 Okay. 223 00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:54,640 Any other questions in the chat so far? 224 00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:57,200 or feel free to leave a comment in there. 225 00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,640 If you think this is cool, say, hey, 226 00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:00,960 wow, I'm excited about this. 227 00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:03,780 Again, we can't see each other in the meeting, 228 00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:05,400 so I don't know if you're excited right now. 229 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,280 I don't know if you're smiling when I'm telling you all of this 230 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,940 or you're like, oh, my gosh. 231 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:11,340 I already knew all of this. 232 00:19:17,870 --> 00:19:22,170 If not, I'm going to roll in here as a schooling student. 233 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:50,760 Okay, 234 00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:56,100 great. 235 00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,400 So what I've done now is become a schooling student. 236 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:19,380 I am Mildred Holmes tonight, and so now everything that you see in this next middle section of our presentation is very similar in many ways to what your student might see when they log in at home. 237 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,320 So just keep in mind that this is a demo student. 238 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,640 this is a demo district, so it's not real data, it's not student data. Our team uses this a lot 239 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,200 to practice and to train people and to do demonstrations, so there are some things that look a little 240 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,540 bit a little bit weird, but just try to sort of understand why they look that way and maybe without 241 00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:46,740 a trained eye you won't even notice. So I probably shouldn't have said anything at all. Okay, all right, 242 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:54,000 so the first thing that I point out is the student profile. So your student, your child has a profile, 243 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,900 it's right up here and what I like to say is this is a professional media profile or it should be 244 00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:06,520 treated as such. This is not your social media profile. This is something that you want to put 245 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:14,880 forward your best professional self. So on this profile page students can customize it to make 246 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:23,780 themself, make their profile fit them but again the idea is their professional self. And we also 247 00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:30,740 So allow students to set goals here so students can, whenever they want, go in and submit 248 00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:36,680 what their goals are for a career or for a college or even just what we call a career 249 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,580 cluster which is a sort of larger category of careers. 250 00:21:40,620 --> 00:21:44,980 You can see this one is STEM, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. 251 00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:48,800 And so this is great for the student to do as they progress. 252 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:56,720 it's sort of a reflective process and at the same time this also provides insights to you as a 253 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,840 guardian and to the district and the staff members who support your students. So staff members can 254 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:08,500 see what kind of goals students have set. They can see what colleges they've favorited and when they 255 00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:16,020 set up events those types of activities will actually help the student find those events and register 256 00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:20,960 for them, and get support from the people who want to know them a little bit better. 257 00:22:21,660 --> 00:22:25,300 So students can also list things that they're proud of, their strength. 258 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,840 This is where they sort of get a little bit personal, and we think that's really awesome. 259 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:36,520 Setting goals and putting your stake in the ground is something that blossoming young people 260 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,340 should do. 261 00:22:38,540 --> 00:22:43,940 Down here in this section, I'm going to connect this a little bit with the experience tracker 262 00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:44,600 that I mentioned. 263 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:51,300 So, and I think somebody had a question in the chat about validating, or how do we maintain 264 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,180 fidelity and logging experiences? 265 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,920 I wonder if some students might, you know, make up some volunteer hours. 266 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:04,860 Well, yes, we have thought of that, and we agree that there should be some easy and simple 267 00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:08,780 ways to just, yeah, validate those and make sure people are being honest. 268 00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:19,300 So there are processes set up with how experienced types are actually approved or even verified by third parties like supervisors. 269 00:23:19,980 --> 00:23:26,540 So through schoolings we can actually communicate and get verification from supervisors or approval from staffs. 270 00:23:27,380 --> 00:23:35,600 Yeah, so this is a place where students can log their experiences, internships, volunteering, working, whatever it might be, keep track for yourself. 271 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,160 As I mentioned earlier, keep track for yourself so you don't have to go back and find it all. 272 00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:47,140 But at the same time, anything that I log here in this section or the portfolio section 273 00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:49,420 down here, we also have a portfolio section. 274 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,060 The experiences in the portfolio are actually used if the student wants to generate a resume. 275 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,500 So if you see my little cursor, I should have done the sort of like highlighting laser beam 276 00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:01,320 around my cursor. 277 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:04,780 But up here there's a little button and it says export resume. 278 00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:09,840 So, any of those experiences, again, or portfolio items, which I won't focus on today, 279 00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:14,840 those are going to be automatically formatted in a nice, simple, straightforward resume. 280 00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:19,520 They put an information, which will go in the header of the resume, and then they can download 281 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,280 it, or save it to Google Drive and edit it, change the formatting, however they want, add 282 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,540 things that maybe don't make it on to school links in some way. 283 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,480 So, just something I love to highlight about the profile is, hey, your students, if they 284 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,700 You need to resume really quickly. 285 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,140 Go into school links. 286 00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,920 It's probably easier than typing it up yourself. 287 00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:39,780 Log some experiences and hit that export resume button. 288 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,180 Okay. 289 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,780 I will also show you that students have this activities center. 290 00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:52,640 So in the activities center, the student can take 291 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,760 a bunch of different assessments. 292 00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:59,260 These are really short, dare I say fun, 293 00:24:59,260 --> 00:25:03,380 at least engaging little assessments. 294 00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:07,260 Often they are agreeing or disagreeing 295 00:25:07,260 --> 00:25:10,480 with certain questions that get them to essentially 296 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,380 just be thoughtful and reflective about themselves. 297 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,340 And then by taking these assessments, 298 00:25:15,620 --> 00:25:16,720 they're gonna get some feedback 299 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,620 and depending on the assessment that they take, 300 00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:20,440 they're gonna get feedback, 301 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,920 which maybe matches them with a career cluster 302 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,480 or gives them a few examples of career clusters 303 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,200 that they might match with or specific careers 304 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:35,360 that they met with match with, sorry, or other things here that you can see. I won't go 305 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,700 through all the details just based off of time, but these are things that students can 306 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:43,140 take at any time they want. They can take them as many times as they want, and they can 307 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:48,300 look at their past results, too. So they really can take this, you know, every semester, 308 00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:54,300 every year, and actually look at maybe some things that have changed over time and how they 309 00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:58,300 fall. So I think this is again super neat. I actually have a schoolings account myself and I take 310 00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:03,000 assessments every semester, you know, for myself. And, you know, in four years I'll see how I change. 311 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:09,200 So yeah, it's a really cool thing and your students can do this whenever they want. But your district 312 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,660 is also thoughtfully sort of planning out some of these assessments for your students as well. 313 00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:19,740 So this is again where I bring in some personal insight into what Grace Lake is actually doing 314 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:25,540 specifically. And so, yeah, we essentially set up a schoolings curriculum and push some 315 00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:31,300 of these surveys or assessments out to your students and help them remember to take them. 316 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:36,620 We're just, you know, motivate them to take them. Very similarly, we have the learning hub, 317 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,340 which has not things that the students are going to get feedback about themselves on, 318 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:45,020 but actually where they're going to go and learn. You can see here, I'm just going to zoom out 319 00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:51,020 just a little bit. You can see here we have lots of topics. These are appropriate topics for 320 00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:56,600 college and career readiness for post-secondary planning for success planning. Like I said, 321 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:04,160 all in one success platform. So, students can take module-based learning units where they watch 322 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:11,000 short videos, they visit external links, they take surveys, they take a little quiz, and they can 323 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,020 move through these learning units at their own pace. Similar to the 324 00:27:15,020 --> 00:27:18,520 assessments, these are always open to your students when they log into 325 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,820 schoolings. They can take them multiple times and some of them are also sort of 326 00:27:22,820 --> 00:27:30,440 assigned to them by your district. Finally, I always show off a game of life. This 327 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:36,140 is something I think would actually be fun to sit down and do with my parent 328 00:27:36,140 --> 00:27:39,700 if I was a high school student. Or if I was a parent, this is something that I 329 00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,380 I think would actually be fun to do with my student. 330 00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:45,480 I am a parent now, I should have mentioned that in my intro. 331 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,200 I will now, I'm a former teacher myself, 332 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,300 a former high school physics and chemistry teacher 333 00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,260 and soccer coach, and I also have a couple little kids 334 00:27:54,260 --> 00:27:55,780 now, the oldest is in kindergarten. 335 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,200 So now as I imagine my high school children, 336 00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:02,720 I hope they have school links at their school, 337 00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,660 and I would love to play the game of life. 338 00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:27,140 So, in the game of life, students can put in information about what their goals are, what their career goal is, maybe what degree they want to earn, and if they want to attend a particular college, maybe like the greatest university that I know of, the University of Oregon. 339 00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:39,200 And they can continue to put in information about their plans and project forward what their future outlook might be like. 340 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:48,960 So based on what degree I've selected, what university I want to, if I have any money saved or plan to earn while I'm in school, 341 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:57,720 I can get information about my salary, my taxes, my loans, healthcare, we're taking sort 342 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,080 of cost of living expenses into account here for the students based on the information 343 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,860 that they provide, and they get of, I'd say, a friendly but honest projection about those 344 00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:16,020 things, and as students go in and sort of add things about their lifestyle, they might 345 00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:20,560 start to see some of these things change. And so it really is a cool tool which gives 346 00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:26,660 awesome direct feedback to the student and helps them think about their future. 347 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,500 Down here you can see based on my choices of if I want to get a university degree or 348 00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:41,880 what type of degree that is, I can actually plan for investing in my own education and maybe how much 349 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,940 we can handle out-of-pocket versus in loans and things like that. 350 00:29:45,220 --> 00:29:49,940 So it's a really cool tool, and I can save this scenario for myself, 351 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,780 you know, my plan to such and such, or whatever it might be, 352 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,620 and what's really nice is then I can create multiple scenarios as a student, 353 00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,600 so I can see. 354 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,200 What's my outlook if I go try to be a doctor? What's my outlook if I skip school and go into the trades? What's my outlook if I go become a teacher or a counselor? So it's a really, really cool, powerful tool. And like I said, I just think you also know that your student has it. So there you go. Okay. Great. I'm just going to check the questions real quick, trying to remind myself to do that.

Very much like the college search feature, I can use different filters 413 00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:25,430 to sort of gain information and insight about how these careers compare. And so maybe 414 00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:30,970 I know that I'm interested in this general category of architecture and construction, but I need 415 00:34:30,970 --> 00:34:36,630 some differentiator to decide between engineering management and to architecture or interior 416 00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:43,130 design. So as a student, I can learn about all of these. Again, I can I can favor it them if 417 00:34:43,130 --> 00:34:49,650 they interest me and just like the college search feature, I can actually learn a ton about them. 418 00:34:49,970 --> 00:34:56,930 So for each career that we have on school links, we have again an entire index of information here. 419 00:34:57,310 --> 00:35:02,970 I'm not going to dive deeply into this, but there are things where students can compare. Wow, 420 00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:08,550 It looks like I picked a career with a high median salary and a pretty good job growth 421 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:12,130 percentage in this career cluster compared to some of these others. 422 00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:16,870 And so again, I'm just sort of showing you some of the great information that we have 423 00:35:16,870 --> 00:35:20,750 on here, including, you know, what education is required? 424 00:35:21,170 --> 00:35:23,530 What certifications are required, if any? 425 00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:28,150 Do I have to get a degree in order to find an opportunity in this career? 426 00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:31,870 Or does this career just require some licensure? 427 00:35:31,870 --> 00:35:35,390 So that's information that students can find on here as well. 428 00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:40,330 And this is an opportunity for me to also highlight that 429 00:35:40,770 --> 00:35:46,830 school links is very supportive of all post-secondary plans. 430 00:35:47,290 --> 00:35:53,710 So college and career options are great and supported through school links. 431 00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:57,450 So again, I can find out what education is required. 432 00:35:57,450 --> 00:36:04,110 And if it does require a degree, I'm actually prompted to add one of those degrees or programs 433 00:36:04,990 --> 00:36:09,250 to my college search. So now I'm seeing 434 00:36:10,290 --> 00:36:13,370 schools that fit my criteria and 435 00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:19,310 also allow me to go and obtain that particular degree. 436 00:36:20,430 --> 00:36:26,710 Okay, I'm just tracking my time here trying to stay on my schedule. I do get excited about showing these things off. 437 00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:34,110 And I think that is probably the last thing that I want to say I will maybe mention this 438 00:36:34,110 --> 00:36:42,150 finances toolbox here, students can find information about scholarships on this portion 439 00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:43,150 of the platform. 440 00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:49,850 Your district can also utilize this to post scholarship opportunities for your students. 441 00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:55,610 So in my mind, if I'm trying to provide information to you all out there, guardians, hey, there's 442 00:36:55,610 --> 00:37:02,530 place for your student to find scholarships. Learn about what that scholarship requires.

This is a wonderful, wonderful tool that your students 445 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:22,050 can utilize. So I thought I would show that off as well. And then I think again, I'm going to pause 446 00:37:22,050 --> 00:37:28,750 here at the end of this middle section and just let some questions accumulate in the chat. 447 00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:35,280 Interesting. 448 00:37:37,980 --> 00:37:39,620 Great question. I might. 449 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,980 I can't speak to that directly. The historical student 450 00:37:45,980 --> 00:37:51,400 application data, I can say that schooling helps in tracking and analyzing all of that data, so 451 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:58,840 it is an excellent tool to be able to do that seeing the results of, first of all, what your students 452 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,780 have submitted application to but then also the actual results. And that happens at this point, 453 00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:10,120 now year over year for your district. That information can also be utilized to help your students 454 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:16,140 make choices. So I didn't get a chance to show off like a scattergram today. That's something that 455 00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:22,640 takes the historical application results from your district or nationwide and then presents that on 456 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,360 a graph to a student and sort of shows them where do they stack up against that historical data. 457 00:38:29,020 --> 00:38:31,040 So yeah, great, great question. 458 00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:34,900 That's a really powerful piece of of school links. 459 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,540 All right, I think then I will just go on to the last portion. 460 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,320 I will just show you more briefly. 461 00:38:56,620 --> 00:39:00,980 The majority of this was to show you what your district is using 462 00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:03,500 and what your students do and can use. 463 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,640 And now I'm going to show you what your guardian account looks like. 464 00:39:07,860 --> 00:39:09,660 So give me just a moment here. 465 00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:09,760 here. 466 00:39:14,430 --> 00:39:16,670 Okay, and I wanted to show the login screen.

So some of 503 00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:22,460 those things like assessments that students might get assigned by your 504 00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:28,180 district or learning units or reminders to go and favorite five college profiles 505 00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:38,080 or to go set up their common app account or anything like that, you can actually also check up on what is assigned to your student. 506 00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:45,000 And then you have this drop down menu here. This is sort of the most important place that you can go as a guardian. 507 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:52,640 Keep in mind that my demo guardian may have a slightly different set of available selections here. 508 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:58,680 Okay, so yours might not look exactly like mine, but in general you're going to see a lot 509 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,120 of the same information. 510 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:06,240 And what you see here is essentially categories of the things that your students have done 511 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:10,040 or have housed or logged on schoolings. 512 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,880 So if you want to see the assessments that your student has taken, you can go and check out 513 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,740 what's the results of their find your path assessment 514 00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:23,780 or would you rather assessment or top skills 515 00:42:23,780 --> 00:42:26,140 which actually matches them with careers. 516 00:42:26,540 --> 00:42:28,660 So you might actually also gain some insight 517 00:42:28,660 --> 00:42:30,020 about your student. 518 00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:31,680 I think maybe sometimes, again, 519 00:42:31,780 --> 00:42:33,380 imagining my own high school students, 520 00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,300 they might keep for me what they want to do. 521 00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:37,080 Maybe they won't feel like telling me. 522 00:42:37,620 --> 00:42:39,060 Maybe they don't want me to know, 523 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,880 because they think I'll ruin it for them 524 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,620 or something like that. 525 00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:46,500 Well, here on School Lakes, you can gain some insights into your students. 526 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:52,300 And so I just think it's really neat that we, again, we offer students to be reflective in this way. 527 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,500 You know, I mentioned the game of life earlier. 528 00:42:54,820 --> 00:42:57,560 My student hasn't created any. You can look at the game of life. 529 00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:00,640 I also mentioned the goals that your students set. 530 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:06,660 So if you want to see that they've set an excellent goal of going to Augustana College, 531 00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:12,480 you can go and learn that about them if you didn't know already and then 532 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,220 another place where you're going to be able to interact and actually as I 533 00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:22,580 mentioned before see and sort of review not take any action but review your 534 00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:23,820 students course plans. 535 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,720 Okay just looking at anything else I want to mention here 536 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:35,940 oh the experience tracking if you want to see what experiences your students have 537 00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:41,960 been logging or maybe even what colleges they've favorited or lists that they've made. 538 00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:48,020 This is a great place to go and I do come here to also mention that, hey, this is one place 539 00:43:48,020 --> 00:43:53,300 where on schoolings you can really directly interact with your student, you can actually 540 00:43:53,300 --> 00:43:55,860 create a list of colleges for them. 541 00:43:56,460 --> 00:44:03,000 So if this is your alma mater and all of the schools that you hope they go to or that you 542 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:09,420 think are a great fit for them. You can actually leave them a little list right here. So the counselor 543 00:44:09,420 --> 00:44:13,040 can do that for them too. And then obviously the student is empowered to do that as well. 544 00:44:15,820 --> 00:44:15,980 Okay. 545 00:44:17,140 --> 00:44:22,060 Great. Again, I'm not going to point out and walk through every single one of these sections. And 546 00:44:22,060 --> 00:44:27,640 again, some of them might not be applicable to what you're seeing directly. But I will just also 547 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:34,460 mention that what I said earlier, so as a guardian, you can utilize the school search tool. You know, 548 00:44:34,460 --> 00:44:38,320 So this is going to help you actually to create those lists, right? 549 00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:46,280 So you can actually really take the perspective of a prospective student here and put in your search criteria, 550 00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:52,020 your filter criteria for what you think your student might pursue. 551 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,740 And this can actually help you create some lists for your students. 552 00:44:55,740 --> 00:44:58,840 The same thing goes here with the Career Center. 553 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,980 We're able to see that. All right. I think I'm just going to go back to the dashboard and make sure there's not anything I'm messing here. Yeah, I guess the other thing that I should point out is that you also have this little chat feature down here. So this little widget down here in the in the bottom corner. You'll be able to interact with, first of all, our help service system. So there is some ways that we can maybe answer your question with an automated hello particle. 554 00:45:29,980 --> 00:45:39,100 But you always have an option to go and speak with a schooling representative directly inside of our work hours, obviously. 555 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:45,860 But if you have a question there, you can do that. And we do also have the school links help center. 556 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:54,200 So if you have a question about how something works on school links, you have a set of articles that are available to you as a guardian. 557 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,800 And you can do that too. Maybe you're helping your student do something that they're trying to do as well. 558 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:07,020 Okay, I think I'm going to stop my sharing now.
