WEBVTT 1 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:24.600 Brian Huffman: All right. I hope everyone can hear me. We'll get started today. This is our third Thursday for February sixteenth, and we're going to be talking about legal apps. I have a group of 2 00:00:24.650 --> 00:00:36.950 Brian Huffman: for law students here who are going to give us an overview of 4 different apps that they use to help them study and research in law school, and maybe a little preview here of what we're going to talk about 3 00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:55.960 Brian Huffman: the app categories that I have identified that students use primary in law school for the purpose of studying writing and flash card. Now there, of course, other opportunities to use apps in law school, and you can be creative about things that you might even use in your real life. But these are the 4 we're going to talk about today grammarly so Tarot, evernote. 4 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.070 Brian Huffman: and quizlet. 5 00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:11.870 Brian Huffman: And these are the students that will be presenting on those 4 topics, and we'll just out. They're going to be in the order you see on here. We're going to start first with evernote and have Nicole Harrison give us a presentation on that, and we'll end with me talking about a little bit about linkedin 6 00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:15.830 Brian Huffman: so, but we'll jump in right now with 7 00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:22.900 Brian Huffman: Yep. You can see your screen. if you would, please. And I 8 00:01:22.990 --> 00:01:25.340 Brian Huffman: Oh, how about this? 9 00:01:25.630 --> 00:01:26.910 Brian Huffman: Now try? 10 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.890 Okay. 11 00:01:45.660 --> 00:01:47.570 Nicole Harrison: Awesome. My total. 12 00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:52.690 Nicole Harrison: Yes, I totally. Oh, my gosh. 13 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:56.270 Okay. 14 00:01:58.110 --> 00:01:59.910 Nicole Harrison: Okay. 15 00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.540 Nicole Harrison: I think you just have to like, turn down your volume. 16 00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:07.670 Nicole Harrison: That's what I have to do in Chrome. 17 00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:15.410 Nicole Harrison: Okay. Nope. 18 00:02:22.450 --> 00:02:28.130 Nicole Harrison: Awesome. Oh, my God. what a struggle! 19 00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:31.640 Nicole Harrison: You can plug your one here! 20 00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:36.200 Nicole Harrison: That's so weird. 21 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:45.880 Nicole Harrison: Okay, maybe it's not his. Oh, no, it's okay, awesome. Okay. So 22 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:53.780 Nicole Harrison: hello. I've been using evernote since I was in undergrad, and I feel like it has gotten progressively better. 23 00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:55.340 Nicole Harrison: but 24 00:02:55.890 --> 00:03:06.240 Nicole Harrison: so they have a free version. But I've been which I used in undergrad because I felt like I didn't need to pay for anything. Also I was broke. 25 00:03:06.380 --> 00:03:12.820 Nicole Harrison: and it was perfectly fine. But there are some like Perks of the paid version, which I have now 26 00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:15.330 Nicole Harrison: that I feel like, make it worth it 27 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.390 First off is like this home screen. 28 00:03:18.710 --> 00:03:23.860 Nicole Harrison: So when you open it up you come here, and so I have. You can customize it and like move stuff around. 29 00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:28.310 Nicole Harrison: It's like I have like just notes on my scratch pad. 30 00:03:28.630 --> 00:03:34.290 Nicole Harrison: like when the presses are saying something that, like, I don't want to get lost in my main notes. 31 00:03:34.390 --> 00:03:38.530 Nicole Harrison: It's like, oh, this is just like something to remember. So 32 00:03:38.810 --> 00:03:48.060 Nicole Harrison: like when midterms come up it'll be like, oh, this is like. We'll be tested on classes like one through 12 material kind of things. 33 00:03:48.250 --> 00:03:51.170 also like little tasks that I can set. 34 00:03:51.410 --> 00:03:56.430 Nicole Harrison: which are really helpful, because you can like reminder if I assign if I actually shared ever know, like 35 00:03:56.710 --> 00:03:58.100 other people used it. 36 00:04:00.470 --> 00:04:06.590 Nicole Harrison: Also, I synced up my Google Calendar, which is where I keep my classes so it'll tell me like 37 00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:10.690 Nicole Harrison: when classes ending 38 00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:19.810 Nicole Harrison: because I don't always remember. And then I have a separate notebooks and notes and stuff. But So that's like the homepage, and then 39 00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:26.030 Nicole Harrison: like for using it using it. I make a new notebook for each class 40 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.070 Nicole Harrison: that way. I and I organize it based on the 41 00:04:33.650 --> 00:04:37.770 Nicole Harrison: like, the syllabus. When we get them. The topics they have is like broad topics 42 00:04:37.810 --> 00:04:40.110 Nicole Harrison: I make is like the 43 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.780 Nicole Harrison: like. The heading. You can also make like little tags. 44 00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:54.460 Nicole Harrison: so like I use that a lot when I was in undergrad. So you can have it tagged like this. I had it tagged for this professor this 45 00:04:56.380 --> 00:05:01.260 this course, because I was just using one notebook and a bunch of notes in that one notebook. 46 00:05:01.270 --> 00:05:09.160 Nicole Harrison: so it's easier to find them, and then I could like if I was thinking, oh, wait! What is this from? I could go back and look at that. 47 00:05:10.590 --> 00:05:11.400 Nicole Harrison: But 48 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.350 Nicole Harrison: s0 0ne of the main reasons I started using evernote was 49 00:05:16.410 --> 00:05:26.400 Nicole Harrison: a PET peeve with like Google Docs and word. which is that when you want to say add anything. 50 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.290 Nicole Harrison: So if I was doing like a list 51 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.220 one. And then 52 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:41.660 Nicole Harrison: so this: if I was doing like a list list list, and 53 00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:47.640 Nicole Harrison: in word or Google Docs, if I wanted to move 54 00:05:47.750 --> 00:05:58.640 Nicole Harrison: this point back to like under, to be the same area as one. You have to do like a whole thing and like, move it like that, you know. It's like a lot more effort, but 55 00:05:58.930 --> 00:06:02.660 Nicole Harrison: and i'm lazy. But 56 00:06:02.770 --> 00:06:16.730 Nicole Harrison: with every now you can just like you just press delete, and it goes back, and I think that's like very soothing. They also have the thing. So if you've got a bunch of 57 00:06:18.010 --> 00:06:21.740 Nicole Harrison: a bunch of notes, but you want to move. 58 00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:35.990 Nicole Harrison: and you want it to move like a whole group of something you can. So if I wanted to put this whole section under this topic that Professor Chen talked about first. I can just grab it 59 00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:37.130 and move it 60 00:06:37.290 --> 00:06:38.480 Nicole Harrison: as like one. 61 00:06:39.870 --> 00:06:41.150 Nicole Harrison: and 62 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.970 Nicole Harrison: It' like I can move it like, Put it in like the wherever. 63 00:06:45.010 --> 00:06:48.730 Nicole Harrison: But I don't have like copy and paste to like play with all of the 64 00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:53.300 Nicole Harrison: various formatting, to make it like fit 65 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.080 the way I want it to. So those are like the 2 main reasons that I use this instead of like anything else. 66 00:07:03.320 --> 00:07:10.360 Nicole Harrison: Yeah, I think it's really helpful for class note taking. and and 67 00:07:12.150 --> 00:07:17.790 Nicole Harrison: it helps me keep like my various classes, separate, but also all in one place. 68 00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:26.240 Nicole Harrison: And the reason I pay for evernote is because when you pay for it you can open it up on like an unlimited number of devices. 69 00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:30.780 Nicole Harrison: So I have the app on my phone on my ipad on my home desktop. 70 00:07:30.810 --> 00:07:35.940 Nicole Harrison: I think if with free, you can only have it on 2 at one time like logged int0 2. 71 00:07:37.790 --> 00:07:41.270 Nicole Harrison: But with the way I use it. I just want it to be able to 72 00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:48.500 Nicole Harrison: open it on like anything. And they have like, really nice. 73 00:07:48.810 --> 00:07:54.020 Nicole Harrison: like highlighting and like the controls. 74 00:07:54.930 --> 00:07:57.330 Nicole Harrison: Yeah, that's 75 00:07:57.510 --> 00:08:04.480 Nicole Harrison: That's it. You can put pictures in and stuff. Yeah, okay, No, i'm actually done 76 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:25.800 Nicole Harrison: pretty sure that I've put plenty of pictures, especially like taking screenshots of slides. 77 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:44.910 Brian Huffman: and I I think I've used it in the past. As am I correct? I think you can even put Pdfs in there that they're scannable, and then you can actually search and find the content of the Pdf. That you would search into your notes. Yeah, I haven't really used it as much, but i'm pretty sure you can. Yeah, if you have a tablet with the touch screen, you can use it as it 78 00:08:50.710 --> 00:08:59.390 Brian Huffman: only runs. I haven't. Is that true? Does it not work on PC. 79 00:08:59.490 --> 00:09:00.360 Nicole Harrison: Oops? 80 00:09:00.410 --> 00:09:03.350 Brian Huffman: All right. Thank you, Nicole. 81 00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:04.130 It's 82 00:09:04.150 --> 00:09:11.240 Malia Taylor: right now. We'll move on to grammarly. 83 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:14.480 Malia Taylor: How do I share? 84 00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:19.150 Malia Taylor: I have t0 0pen my system preferences. 85 00:09:22.390 --> 00:09:28.520 Malia Taylor: What do they want me to do? But 86 00:09:28.650 --> 00:09:30.920 she's gonna get her there you go. That's what you want. 87 00:09:31.510 --> 00:09:39.190 Malia Taylor: You'll have to click the lock. 88 00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:44.620 Malia Taylor: Oh, I have to quit and reopen. 89 00:09:55.460 --> 00:10:06.290 Erik Meade: Move on to Eric. I think it's going to teach us a little bit about some carol. Yes, so chicken arrow. Oh, let me turn up my volume so that I'm really being recorded. 90 00:10:06.350 --> 00:10:08.810 Erik Meade: share my screen. 91 00:10:09.430 --> 00:10:16.350 Erik Meade: so I do not have a presentation. This is going to be a live demo, which is always really exciting. 92 00:10:19.210 --> 00:10:20.680 Erik Meade: A little bit. Echo. 93 00:10:27.030 --> 00:10:41.750 Erik Meade: What are we doing now 94 00:10:41.770 --> 00:10:52.810 Erik Meade: for this Should like You should have an introduction to this for your Cis class on how to manage all the documentation that you are going to accumulate. 95 00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:57.350 Erik Meade: I really like this because I am a bit of a data quarter. 96 00:10:57.760 --> 00:10:59.950 And 97 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.750 Erik Meade: so this is your sort of default view 98 00:11:04.370 --> 00:11:05.360 Erik Meade: you get. 99 00:11:05.930 --> 00:11:10.730 Erik Meade: You have your your library, and then, as is typical, you can 100 00:11:11.930 --> 00:11:13.960 Erik Meade: have various 101 00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:18.590 Erik Meade: folders and folders within folders, you know, at nauseum. 102 00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:26.950 Erik Meade: So, in particular. when he comes in to using it. 103 00:11:29.290 --> 00:11:34.000 Erik Meade: you have your items in the middle screen, which are the things that you add to 104 00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:41.220 Erik Meade: the app. There's a couple of ways to do it, one of which which is really handy, that i'm a Demo here live 105 00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:44.020 Erik Meade: is using the plugin 106 00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:47.890 Erik Meade: that you can install. So here we have the Red Hill 107 00:11:48.130 --> 00:11:53.430 Erik Meade: crisis which I already have a bit of a work on. I go to my connector. 108 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.080 Erik Meade: I choose. Save it. 109 00:11:55.260 --> 00:12:01.910 Erik Meade: save it with an embedded made it metadata. No web page. We have snapshot is what I like to do 110 00:12:02.530 --> 00:12:06.730 Erik Meade: over here. It asked me where to do it. Red Hill. Yeah, yeah, Red Hill. 111 00:12:09.910 --> 00:12:11.540 Erik Meade: Come back over 112 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.230 Erik Meade: and families forced to stay in hotels. 113 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:23.490 Erik Meade: So you'll notice you filled in the title for me. It filled in the URL. It has the date. 114 00:12:23.610 --> 00:12:34.920 Erik Meade: I've got my snapshot. Now one nifty feature is that you can take your information from there. and as soon as I get my notepad to come up 115 00:12:34.930 --> 00:12:36.300 on the screen. 116 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.050 Erik Meade: Where's my window? 117 00:12:41.290 --> 00:12:50.750 Erik Meade: Here we go. You can drag and drop. This is oh, really. Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, Basically, any any 118 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.640 Erik Meade: drag and drop interface, you can take. Grab your middle item. 119 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:10.090 Erik Meade: drag it in and get your night. Get your citation now in this case, and this is, I mean, the citations might not be perfect, but my night citations are never perfect, and this glancing at it looks like it's a good web citation to me. 120 00:13:10.230 --> 00:13:27.650 Erik Meade: The one trick you need to do in order to get your style is under preferences export. There is the item format. and they have like 2,000 formats. I've got the Blue Book of Law Review picked since. That's the closest to what we're gonna want. 121 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.970 Erik Meade: So that's one way to get information in 122 00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:44.380 Erik Meade: second way. Let's say you've already already built up a bunch of Pdfs because you have topics that you care about, and you download them when you come across them. So here we have the red Hill tank, closure, plan. 123 00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:46.680 Erik Meade: drag and drop it in. 124 00:13:48.330 --> 00:13:51.970 Erik Meade: drag and drop it in Redhill Tank Closure plan. 125 00:13:52.980 --> 00:14:03.400 Erik Meade: and this one did not find good information which is fine, because I got another one hopefully, they'll find on EPA. I'm. Trying to illustrate another feature here 126 00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:04.940 for us. 127 00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:06.320 Erik Meade: Yeah. 128 00:14:06.590 --> 00:14:10.220 So what is not happening that I wish would happen 129 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:14.460 Erik Meade: was that when you add a Pdf. This way 130 00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:25.140 Erik Meade: behind the scenes is going out and seeing if it can find information on the Internet, and if it can, it will go ahead and fill in some appropriate values which I can show 131 00:14:25.310 --> 00:14:26.980 Erik Meade: from 132 00:14:28.420 --> 00:14:32.100 Erik Meade: from my library with them. 133 00:14:34.010 --> 00:14:42.000 Erik Meade: Yeah, yeah, so it it can fill it in. It's not a guaranteed thing, but it makes it easy to drag and drop. Once you have files in 134 00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:44.350 Erik Meade: you've got. 135 00:14:44.670 --> 00:14:48.800 So here's a nice example. Tons of information in here, none of which I entered. 136 00:14:48.950 --> 00:14:51.780 Erik Meade: You can update it if you want to. 137 00:14:52.100 --> 00:15:06.470 Erik Meade: You have tags which I like to sort things by tags. I I use tags by by the year. That's you. Probably don't need to do that, because if the info has the years in it, but sometimes I find that 138 00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:23.840 Erik Meade: they don't exactly You know it, they added date modified, but they did find the proper date, so I probably didn't need to put the tags in there for the year, but I like to. And then so now it starts getting really exciting. 139 00:15:24.150 --> 00:15:27.720 Erik Meade: and what I've done, what happens is now that I've unselected it 140 00:15:29.290 --> 00:15:32.210 is, you can do something which is really cool. 141 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.290 Erik Meade: and 142 00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:42.620 Erik Meade: if you go into the Pdf. And you highlight sections, or you add comments because Pdfs comments. 143 00:15:55.410 --> 00:16:06.800 Erik Meade: it opens it up. 144 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:15.070 Erik Meade: Belief in that need find more current data than 2,001. Because if you inhale depleted uranium, it's not the same as eating depleted uranium. 145 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.480 Erik Meade: But but anyway. 146 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:23.910 Erik Meade: so what was the other stuff I wanted to show citations we got that they have good documentation. 147 00:16:24.070 --> 00:16:30.400 Erik Meade: It works on everything, windows apple. Linux it's free 148 00:16:30.420 --> 00:16:49.310 Erik Meade: up into the point that you want to start using the online storage, so that's their model is free. But online storage will cost you money if you want to support them that way. They have the documentation. Pretty good. It's pretty simple. They have Typically, they have nice little videos to show you what what to do, and images. 149 00:16:49.310 --> 00:16:57.100 The documentation I found is to be pretty good if if you're looking for stuff. Oh, timelines! So this is a cool feature 150 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.000 Erik Meade: that I would like to show off real quick. 151 00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:05.579 Erik Meade: which, especially for the depleted uranium, was exciting. 152 00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:08.130 Erik Meade: You can create a timeline 153 00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:10.220 Erik Meade: and 154 00:17:10.780 --> 00:17:18.290 Erik Meade: oops 155 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.050 Erik Meade: decade century. 156 00:17:21.250 --> 00:17:22.790 Erik Meade: and so your top 157 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:28.660 Erik Meade: top zone is is by year. 158 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.120 and you can see i'm running all the way back here int0 1940, 159 00:17:32.270 --> 00:17:37.270 Erik Meade: and then century is not as useful in in this case. But you can 160 00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:39.400 then navigate through 161 00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:41.970 Erik Meade: visually, if you so desire. 162 00:17:43.110 --> 00:18:00.570 Erik Meade: And I think that was all the stuff. There are a lot of plugins. You could export your your library. You can share your library, so there's all the kind of stuff third party documentation. If you're a developer, they have ways that you can hook in 163 00:18:00.570 --> 00:18:03.870 Erik Meade: It's a it's got a lot of stuff, and it's definitely 164 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:14.230 Erik Meade: increase the amount of resource research material that I could kind of keep my hands on while I was trying to create stuff which I really enjoy. 165 00:18:14.730 --> 00:18:19.090 Erik Meade: And I think that is all. And everyone's got any questions. 166 00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:23.730 Brian Huffman: I don't have any questions, Eric, but i'll have some comments. 167 00:18:24.090 --> 00:18:38.060 Brian Huffman: You're right. I actually used every note myself when I did a chapter in a book, and I got a co-authored with, and it was very useful. I still go back and pull that metadata from there. I I shared it and collaborated with my editor and my other authors. 168 00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:47.160 Brian Huffman: and they could make changes in the notation part. I I didn't even know that it pulls that in from the Pdf. Because I think they may have added that since they wrote that book, because I used to keep. 169 00:18:47.220 --> 00:19:03.800 Erik Meade: I used to make my own notes. They were relevant to those items and put them in that little box. But now, if they could pull them in directly from the Pdf: that would be great. Yeah, that that made a big difference for me, because I like I like highlighting in the Pdf. And being able to extract that automatically was made a huge difference. 170 00:19:03.800 --> 00:19:10.410 Erik Meade: That's great. Thank you. Yep. Are we ready to go back to? 171 00:19:11.350 --> 00:19:12.100 Erik Meade: This is 172 00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:12.760 yeah. 173 00:19:13.570 --> 00:19:32.410 Erik Meade: I haven't tried it. I would say I think it, but it does list. Ios is one of the one of the devices it supports. So probably for apple, but probably not Android. They just we just added the app recently. Oh, that's right. That's why I use it natively that way. But I 174 00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:34.980 Erik Meade: will reference to us off of my phone 175 00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:41.160 Erik Meade: outstanding. Then we're ready for quiz. Let 176 00:19:41.330 --> 00:19:44.540 Erik Meade: let me stop sharing 177 00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:53.160 Malia Taylor: on mute. Hi! I'm gonna share for twins with. 178 00:19:53.300 --> 00:20:03.400 Malia Taylor: Let's see if it works. Yep. Okay. what am. I like not know how to do things? 179 00:20:05.490 --> 00:20:06.460 Malia Taylor: Okay. 180 00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:19.190 Malia Taylor: So this is the homepage of Quizlet. It's mostly used just to make flash cards. So here we have some real prop cards. 181 00:20:19.510 --> 00:20:29.720 Malia Taylor: some vocab. And there's really just like the 4 functions right there on the top that you can use flash cards. learn test, and match. 182 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:45.860 Malia Taylor: What I like about this is you can use it on your phone as well. So it's good for like when you're waiting in line or something instead of going on like Snapchat. I'll g0 0n Quizlet, but I wouldn't say this is like the best like study. Aids gonna make you pass anything. It's good, just like 183 00:20:46.010 --> 00:20:52.170 Malia Taylor: like a game. But then you're also doing school stuff like I like doing the match one. So it's really fun. 184 00:20:53.350 --> 00:21:06.640 Malia Taylor: You just have to match them in your time. I don't want to do this right now, though. 185 00:21:07.930 --> 00:21:13.060 Malia Taylor: and you can like. Yeah, it's mostly what you do. 186 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:20.160 Malia Taylor: And this is what Martin looks like. It's really easy to make them to 187 00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:22.950 Malia Taylor: just press this. 188 00:21:23.350 --> 00:21:37.570 Malia Taylor: and you can make folders make it to the class or just to set, and then you can also, like, find other people's flashcards if you trust them, which I will, I definitely have done. But you just have to like, check and make sure that 189 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.270 Malia Taylor: they're not sauce first. 190 00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:42.500 Malia Taylor: But 191 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.380 yeah. 192 00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:53.290 Malia Taylor: this one might look okay. You'd have to like, Look at it more. But yeah, that's good. If you don't want to like, make them, but you want to be able to use them. 193 00:21:54.990 --> 00:22:13.160 Malia Taylor: and that's my presentation. If anyone has any questions 194 00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:46.860 Malia Taylor: elementary school, I don't know what that is. But yeah, I've been using this since, like elementary school elementary. Yeah, yeah, or like middle school like middle school. 195 00:22:46.890 --> 00:23:06.270 Malia Taylor: get back to the main thing. My question is, I assume you have to spend as much time making them as using it. But I think that reinforces the learning right? Yeah, yeah, definitely. And then you could also just look up. Someone's set to right if you didn't want to make them. But I think making them is really helpful. It's also probably way more eco friendly than you can do. 196 00:23:06.270 --> 00:23:09.330 Malia Taylor: Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. 197 00:23:09.730 --> 00:23:16.970 Malia Taylor: Yeah. I tried that one semester that I spent more times cutting than 198 00:23:17.070 --> 00:23:19.820 Malia Taylor: yeah, and I really think you can use it on your phone, too. 199 00:23:20.100 --> 00:23:26.370 Brian Huffman: It's like something good to do. 200 00:23:26.820 --> 00:23:34.260 Brian Huffman: all right. Thank you so much. 201 00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:38.750 Brian Huffman: We have grammarly. I don't know if that's the best but the last. But 202 00:23:45.520 --> 00:23:51.200 Kekai Wong Yuen: so I do apologize for that. 203 00:23:51.280 --> 00:23:53.020 Kekai Wong Yuen: So i'm presenting on grammarly 204 00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:56.220 Kekai Wong Yuen: my name is Kikai. Sorry if I didn't say that. 205 00:23:56.280 --> 00:24:12.240 Kekai Wong Yuen: So basically these are like the main things I use it for. I am always sending emails to people. I'm always writing, and i'm notoriously bad at spelling. I've just always been bad at spelling, so maybe I should just quiz it more. But basically it's just a very efficient and quick way 206 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:22.820 Kekai Wong Yuen: to just check myself, because I also have high anxiety. So i'm always scared that I have something spot wrong, or I have something that's out of place, and so I just like having a backup step 207 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.910 just in case that's always there. 208 00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:36.250 Kekai Wong Yuen: And also I write too much. I'm usually over word count. I'm not type of person, so it also cuts away all my unnecessary words and flops that I tend to not need, especially when. 209 00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:47.970 Kekai Wong Yuen: And also we're taught to be very straightforward, very efficient, and get to the point. I was never talking undergrad. I was taught to just write everything I was feeling so. It's also good to double check that. 210 00:24:48.800 --> 00:25:00.530 Kekai Wong Yuen: Well, basically just a general overview grammarly like support streamlined and effective writing. Like, I said, the suggestions help identify and replace complicated sentences with more efficient ones. And i'll g0 0ver that in my demo. 211 00:25:00.610 --> 00:25:07.180 Kekai Wong Yuen: It's to help refresh, rep of language and uphold accurate spelling punctuation grammar. 212 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:25.540 Kekai Wong Yuen: So basically, what the app is compatible with it works with both Mac and windows, which is really nice. And it's also compatible with many other popular software like Microsoft Word. The website actually lists everything that it's compatible with. But these are just like the general things that most people tend to go to. 213 00:25:25.540 --> 00:25:29.170 Kekai Wong Yuen: I really like the browser extension when I first came up. 214 00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:31.680 It's just nice to have that there. 215 00:25:33.050 --> 00:25:39.980 Kekai Wong Yuen: so where can I find grammar? You can get from the app store. You can get it from grammarlycom, or if you have an Android Google Place store 216 00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:48.100 Kekai Wong Yuen: as well, I've never had an android. So i'm not really sure what Google play star looks like. 217 00:25:48.790 --> 00:25:51.150 Kekai Wong Yuen: And also you can have it for free 218 00:25:51.520 --> 00:26:11.360 Kekai Wong Yuen: on your phone. So you're welcome to scan this QR. Code whenever you want. I'm: assuming this zoom will be sent out to everyone like you can see in the example on the left Basically, if you're just sending an email from your phone. You're saying a text from your phone. It just double checks it. I'll tell you something spot wrong. I tend to text really quickly, and I tend to so much for drunk. So it's just nice to have there. 219 00:26:11.470 --> 00:26:18.050 Kekai Wong Yuen: and my mom's a teacher, so she likes, pointing out my chromatical errors whenever I text her. She's one of those 220 00:26:18.630 --> 00:26:20.650 Kekai Wong Yuen: so paid versus free version. 221 00:26:20.930 --> 00:26:40.660 Kekai Wong Yuen: The free version is honestly really great. It covers most of your bases. Has grammar spelling, punctuation help to be concise and tone detection, which is really interesting because you can choose to. You can choose a type of tone you're trying to convey to your readers whether you're trying to inform them whether you're trying to persuade them whether you're trying to tell a story. It's all these options. I personally have it. 222 00:26:40.910 --> 00:26:48.760 Kekai Wong Yuen: No, this anything big from it. But it is there, if you like to choose it. The biggest issue for people, they say, is 223 00:26:48.790 --> 00:26:51.180 Kekai Wong Yuen: the free version it doesn't check you for plagiarism. 224 00:26:51.330 --> 00:26:57.880 Kekai Wong Yuen: I I personally don't use it for that. I just kind of use it for a general check. I'm not using it to be my actual. 225 00:26:58.190 --> 00:27:03.610 Kekai Wong Yuen: But I know that is something people complain about that I just talked to in the past. 226 00:27:04.910 --> 00:27:21.910 Kekai Wong Yuen: So this is a subscription cost, like, I said, there is a free version, but if you would like those extra premium features, you can d0 $12 a month for annual with it's technically $144. But if you break it down, it's $12 a month or you could do quarterly monthly and grammarly business. 227 00:27:21.910 --> 00:27:33.720 Kekai Wong Yuen: Those are for businesses. You need at least 3 members. So if you know someone you want to share with and a friend, I guess you can go all out and do that that's up to you. But again I've never touched the grammarly business. 228 00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:45.600 Kekai Wong Yuen: So here are the Perks. It's kind of like touched on the beginning. It helps you catch the typos. The punctuations are commonly confused words, and it's just like it helps to give you guidance. And again it doesn't really change the overall 229 00:27:45.750 --> 00:27:49.480 Kekai Wong Yuen: paper itself. It's just as a sort of background check. 230 00:27:49.670 --> 00:28:06.060 Kekai Wong Yuen: and then also gives clarity suggestions as well in undergrad. I use a lot of semicolons like. I was just addicted to semicolons and really long sentences. So what tell me, when I had super long sentences to just breaking it up, depending on who my reader is, and who the audience I'm. Trying to go for 231 00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:19.110 Kekai Wong Yuen: and like. I just wanted to put teams in there as well. If you are doing the business one you can apply, share guidelines to help teams on consistent. If you're working as a group. encourage you the language and tones you need to your brand. 232 00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:22.070 Kekai Wong Yuen: So I heard from other people. It's a big 233 00:28:22.280 --> 00:28:36.210 Kekai Wong Yuen: I do not. This I have. I struggle with that when i'm writing with a group, and we all have completely different tones, and we all have completely different writing style. So it just kind of helps you point that out within grammar we like, hey? Maybe there's like a more concise way to make it flow better. 234 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:44.210 Kekai Wong Yuen: But again that's what I've heard from others. I don't have the the team version. Oh, we can do my demo, how fun! 235 00:28:44.270 --> 00:28:54.570 Kekai Wong Yuen: So I just wanna show you what it looks like. So basically this is what a grammarly screen looks like. How do I like this? So here you can set your goals on the right hand side 236 00:28:54.850 --> 00:28:56.030 Kekai Wong Yuen: so you can choose. 237 00:28:56.080 --> 00:29:18.370 Kekai Wong Yuen: What if you're going for an academic feel if you're in business, if it's just a casual email, and what your intent is to inform, describe, convince, or tell a story like I was seeing and the audience as well, general knowledge or expert, it'll change what to correct. So for longer sentences. If you have more general audience, you'll always recommend to cut down sentences and make them more concise and short. 238 00:29:18.390 --> 00:29:27.200 Kekai Wong Yuen: And then, just for Mali, for going for informal, neutral or formal again, it's up to you. And so basically, it'll tell you on the right hand side 239 00:29:27.370 --> 00:29:30.660 Kekai Wong Yuen: what to correct. So you can either click on it. 240 00:29:31.790 --> 00:29:39.290 Kekai Wong Yuen: and i'll tell you how to be more concise for the blue lines for purple. It's like a formality like just like. 241 00:29:39.670 --> 00:29:43.300 Kekai Wong Yuen: Yeah. And then for red, it's usually 242 00:29:43.490 --> 00:29:45.530 Kekai Wong Yuen: what type of punctuation or spelling. 243 00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:52.040 Kekai Wong Yuen: And so when you have the premium version, apparently you can do multiple suggestions at once. 244 00:29:52.130 --> 00:30:11.720 Kekai Wong Yuen: I know a lot of people don't like doing that, because again it's trusting grammarly to d0 20 suggestions at once. And usually some people are okay. With that. I personally like to click on it individually and just to go through it like there. And something I like to is that you can do the characters words, and even tells you how much speaking time it'll be, and the reading time it'll take as well. 245 00:30:11.810 --> 00:30:17.120 Kekai Wong Yuen: which is really interesting. And the readability score is just basically it scores you from one t0 100 246 00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:20.450 Kekai Wong Yuen: like how how easy it is to read your paper. 247 00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:36.770 Kekai Wong Yuen: And again, you can always changes in the right hand side like you'll tell you they're 8 alerts for correctness to for spelling, grammar and punctuation clarity engagement. So this is a bit bland. This is a demo, this isn't mine basically just helps you make it more interesting and effective. 248 00:30:37.070 --> 00:30:44.070 Kekai Wong Yuen: Wow! This comes. And then also delivery. Whether you're giving the impression you want t0 0n your reader, and that kind of just goes to 249 00:30:44.220 --> 00:31:01.100 Kekai Wong Yuen: that feature that you choose, and you can also bold at the bottom left hand corner you can bold italics underline. You can also make lists. as you can see the bottom right hand corner. Sorry. Oh, you actually can't see that. Oh, there it is! Plagiarism that's only the premium version. It doesn't come with the free version. 250 00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:07.090 Kekai Wong Yuen: But that is my presentation. 251 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:18.460 Kekai Wong Yuen: So the colors for these are what line up here. 252 00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:20.850 and you can rephrase it in a different way. 253 00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:27.070 Brian Huffman: Again. I was forgotten. I used to use it, but then I fell out of heaven 254 00:31:27.170 --> 00:31:51.990 Brian Huffman: like I said it's more because I suck it's going. I have a couple of questions. It's been a while since I've used it. 255 00:31:52.210 --> 00:31:58.710 Brian Huffman: Oh, and something I really like. Thank you for bringing up it, just reminding me of something else. I like to use 256 00:31:58.820 --> 00:32:08.050 Kekai Wong Yuen: transition the same transition words. I just get into a habit of using it. 257 00:32:08.050 --> 00:32:20.090 Kekai Wong Yuen: Perhaps you've used something too much that's 258 00:32:20.380 --> 00:32:31.020 Brian Huffman: does it work on social media. I saw it works on email. But can you use it on 259 00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:43.320 Brian Huffman: But, Twitter, it will correct you, because yes, it has correct me. 260 00:32:44.630 --> 00:32:49.090 Brian Huffman: Okay, Thank you. 261 00:32:52.570 --> 00:32:55.430 Brian Huffman: I'll share my last screen, and we'll g0 0ver the 262 00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:02.040 Brian Huffman: linked in. I'm: glad you brought up linkedin, because that's what I'm actually going to talk about 263 00:33:12.120 --> 00:33:15.210 Brian Huffman: all right. So who here uses linkedin 264 00:33:15.830 --> 00:33:18.120 Brian Huffman: everybody? Does anyone not 265 00:33:18.290 --> 00:33:27.700 Brian Huffman: wait? Yes, I have one. 266 00:33:28.260 --> 00:33:35.180 Brian Huffman: Oh, wow, maybe 8 0r 9. It's been some some time ago I used it when I was even in library school, so I 267 00:33:35.180 --> 00:33:48.360 Brian Huffman: been on for quite some time. I've seen it change, but it's always remain what I would call a professional social media app. It's never muddied its waters with controversy like Twitter, or become a real personal type. 268 00:33:48.790 --> 00:34:06.820 Brian Huffman: a place that you want to put your family photos like Facebook. Right? So it really is. The purpose is to help you crow your network and and find other professionals, and to be found and seen in a, and that you want to be known in. That's that's purpose. And so you can see how I've got my cover photo that I've put on there. 269 00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:18.750 Brian Huffman: Got my title. You didn't even let you pronounce your name. That's what that little button is useful for. Obviously my name probably wouldn't be so hard. But there's some people I think, that could be useful, and you get to pronounce it so here, how you want your name to be pronounced 270 00:34:18.790 --> 00:34:33.239 Brian Huffman: so it has some neat little features like that. It can have a Cv built onto it. There are also links for organizations. So Here's the actual law school's website, and how it looks. It kind of has the same look and feel 271 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:46.190 Brian Huffman: you want. You can connect the 2. You can be a member of one group. Some groups are exclusive and won't. Allow you to be a member unless you actually can prove that you've worked there. Someone has to approve your membership, but I think anyone can actually be a member of the Law School one. 272 00:34:47.420 --> 00:34:56.739 Brian Huffman: It also has a paid versus free version. So I have the free version. I've never even had been a lifetime user of this thing. I have never paid for it. 273 00:34:56.739 --> 00:35:14.930 Brian Huffman: so I cannot tell you how useful that may or not be. But I have friends who have, and they say where they found it more useful. If you do decide to do that is, if you're looking for a job, you really are out there actively seeking employment because it will give you some data that you wouldn't normally find. See? For instance, I've clicked on the who's looked at my profile and was in the last 90 274 00:35:14.930 --> 00:35:18.620 Brian Huffman: days. It says, there's 32, but it will only give me the 275 00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:34.290 Brian Huffman: the a a brief overview of 4 0r 5 individuals, and sometimes you can't, even if you click on those it won't tell you who they are. Now, if I was a paid member, I would have the full access to that information. So you might want to know that you might want to say, who's looking at me? And who are they? Maybe I want to connect with them, and 276 00:35:34.290 --> 00:35:42.180 Brian Huffman: and etc., so that might be useful on the right. There is a posting that I put up some time ago, and I had 771 impressions. 277 00:35:42.180 --> 00:35:58.050 Brian Huffman: plus it showed me who was looking at it primarily look like librarians, attorneys, law librarians, people, I would expect, because that was the content, right? And how many reactions I got. So that's some interesting data you can get if you actually use it to post information and share with other individuals. So 278 00:35:58.160 --> 00:36:15.840 Brian Huffman: those are the 3 main things I use it for to talk about yourself, your your organizations to post. I think it's great If you're You're new in the profession, and you want to find people. I've actually made connections, and had I've actually gotten presenters through Linkedin. So I mean, it is actually a way to actually grow and expand your network. 279 00:36:16.390 --> 00:36:17.840 Brian Huffman: Any questions about it. 280 00:36:21.530 --> 00:36:22.580 Brian Huffman: Oh. 281 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:26.710 Brian Huffman: as in. 282 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:42.350 Brian Huffman: So it's funny. You ask that there actually are resources out there that track the usage of social media and interaction, etc. And Linkedin has always remained high. In fact. 283 00:36:42.350 --> 00:37:01.940 Brian Huffman: it got a large bump in the last 6 months, because people were leaving Twitter as well, I had noticed, because 284 00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:05.890 and 285 00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:14.460 Brian Huffman: they send me so many notification. Yeah. 286 00:37:14.660 --> 00:37:24.190 Brian Huffman: once there's a way to adjust those on your house setting. Yeah, I think there might be, because I found that I don't get as many as I used to. Yeah. 287 00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:26.630 Brian Huffman: I don't think right. 288 00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.390 My first. 289 00:37:29.390 --> 00:37:31.710 Brian Huffman: They're remembering that it exists. 290 00:37:50.710 --> 00:37:56.540 Brian Huffman: It's like a little default. If you don't care if it'll put that on your profile actually, that you're hiring so. 291 00:37:57.120 --> 00:38:07.130 Brian Huffman: And I out of this, just for information anyone could take the bitly or whatever. There I found that the University of Akron had a really good guide, even though we gave these 4 292 00:38:07.150 --> 00:38:29.510 Brian Huffman: legal apps. There are a great number of other interesting ones out there, and some of them are really geared up more to like one else, like Blacks Law Dictionary, etc. But there are some others that they they're just useful all through your career, even into becoming a a lawyer. So I put that there so you can see, and they break it down by those categories like I did early on with studying research, and then flash cards or reiteration of learning models. 293 00:38:29.510 --> 00:38:46.320 Brian Huffman: One thing I didn't bring up this time. But and if you ever heard mind maps, that's another really good app that people can use when they're just doing research and learning how to get into a topic and learn it. So I hoping somebody would cover that. But we'll save that for next. 294 00:38:47.040 --> 00:38:49.520 Brian Huffman: and that's really all half today. Thanks, everyone. 295 00:38:55.230 --> 00:38:58.830 Brian Huffman: Yes, of course. I think all of you. 296 00:39:04.350 --> 00:39:04.980 Okay.
