ClickView for Teachers

1. Introduction to ClickView at NAC

ClickView has thousands of educational videos and the ability to request television shows to be recorded. ClickView videos can be shown reliably in the classroom (with a few easy steps), videos can be embedded in Google Classroom and Canvas, and videos can be watched by students at home.

It is generally best to access ClickView from the NAC Dashboard where you will find a ClickView button, today just use the following link:

https://shibboleth.clickview.com.au/Shibboleth.sso/nowraanglican

You should be automatically logged in, if not, just login with your NAC username and password.

The first thing I want you to learn is how to search for videos in ClickView "Exchange" and then how to move the videos into ClickView "Libraries".

2. ClickView Exchange - Cloud Based Video

The ClickView Exchange allows teachers to view free-to-air and self-published content uploaded by other ClickView schools. You can play appropriate videos to your students directly from Exchange.

Students cannot directly access videos in Exchange, you need to "add to library" for them to be able to independently view -most Junior School videos are already in Libraries. Once added to Libraries, the video is stored locally at NAC and students can access the video through their ClickView. If you want students to be able to view videos on their own laptop it is necessary to notice the age rating of the video; see "4. Allowing and Facilitating Students to Watch Videos Above Their Age Recommendation" lower in this page.

Now we will see how to search for videos in Exchange and move them to our local Library:

3. When you find the video you want to use in the classroom click on "Options" (3) and then click on "Add to your Library" (4)

5. A pop up box will appear, type in the subject area in the message box (5) and click "Add to your Library" (6)

A message will be sent to the library, we will download the video from Exchange to a server in the Library at NAC. This takes one to two days to be completed.

7. You will receive a notification when the video is ready. Then you can click on "Libraries" (7) and use the search function (8) to look for your video

9. Once you find your video you can click on "Options" (9) and add to a playlist or do other actions such as convert the video to be interactive.

10. Click on :Share" (10) and a pop up will appear, you can copy the link (11) and share this with students via email, Google Classroom, Canvas etc.

3. Flipped Classroom with ClickView -Allowing Students to Download ClickView Videos at NAC for Later Viewing

So you are now inspired and want to go further and use ClickView videos in a flipped classroom model. In the Shoalhaven many students have poor or no internet connection. The solution for flipped classrooms is to teach students how to download ClickView videos whilst at NAC and then they can watch the video at home, or on that epic bus trip home. Here is a set of instructions you can copy / alter / paste:

We would like you to be able to watch the film “Beneath Hill 60” at home. If you have no internet or limited data at home, you can try the following as long as you have an iphone/ipad/apple computer/android phone or tablet or windows 8/10 device.

You need to do the following at school in class with your teacher’s permission. You need to do the following steps on your iphone/ipad/apple computer/android phone or tablet or windows 8/10 device –this will not work on Chromebooks. I have written the following instructions based on using an Android phone, if you have one of the other devices you might need to wing it a bit.

Using your device (iphone/ipad/apple computer/android phone or tablet or windows 8/10 device) go to the following web address: https://www.clickview.com.au/downloads/#apps

1. Download the necessary app onto your device.

2. Sign into the ClickView app with your normal school login/password.

3. Click on the little three bars on the top left and select “Library”

4. Click on the search icon (top right)

5. Type in “Beneath Hill 60” and then enter.

6. Click on “Beneath Hill 60”

You should now see a movie playing; under it you will see info including, 2011.

7. Click on the three dots on the top right of screen and then click “Download Video”.

8. Escape that and go back to where you can see the three bars on the top right of screen –click this.

9. Click on “Local Storage” –this is where you can find your copy of Beneath Hill 60 once it has downloaded. Once it has finished downloading you can watch this with no internet connection.

10. If you have trouble with this try to troubleshoot with fellow students/your teacher/ or Mr Jones in the library.

4. Allowing and Facilitating Students to Watch Videos Above Their Age Recommendation

The Commonwealth Government of Australia operates the Classification Scheme determining the suitability of videos for various audiences.

The following three classification categories are advisory categories and can be shown to students at NAC if they are of suitable age.

Below is a brief overview of the three categories:

General (G)

The content is very mild in impact.

The G classification is suitable for everyone. G products may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are very mild in impact. However, some G-classified films or computer games may contain content that is not of interest to children.

Suitable for all ages.

Parental Guidance (PG)

The content is mild in impact.

The impact of PG (Parental Guidance) classified films and computer games should be no higher than mild, but they may contain content that children find confusing or upsetting and may require the guidance or parents and guardians. They may, for example, contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are mild in impact. It is not recommended for viewing or playing by persons under 15 without guidance from parents or guardians

Suitable for 15yrs + (approximately Yr10)

Mature (M)

The content is moderate in impact.

Films classified M (Mature) contain content of a moderate impact and are recommended for teenagers aged 15 years and over. Children under 15 may legally access this material because it is an advisory category. However, M classified films and computer games may include classifiable elements such as violence and nudity of moderate impact that are not recommended for children under 15 years.

All students who will be shown an M rated video must have written permission from their parents or carer. You can have a generic note that covers all "M" videos for a calendar year within a subject.

MA+ videos can only be shown to Year 11 & 12 students at NAC with written permission from the parents/carers. The permission note must directly name the video, it's rating and reason why it needs to be shown. Alternative learning materials should be considered where possible.

The image below shows the current age settings in ClickView:

If a teacher needs Yr 10, 11 or 12 students to watch an M rated film on their own (the students) laptop, at school or home, do the following assuming they have written parental/carer permission to watch the specific film:

1. The teacher needs to be signed into ClickView on their laptop/desktop computer.

2. Go to "Libraries" and search for the film.

3. Click "Options" and "Add to playlist"

4. Either select an existing Playlist or Create a New Playlist, then scroll down to close.

5. You will now return to the Homescreen, then click "Playlists"

6. Click on your playlist, "Copy" the link to your playlist and share this with your students.

When a teacher shares a Playlist with students, this bypasses the age rating for the video.

5. List of videos with Teacher Resources

Where are the teacher resources?

Below is a PDF listing videos, (mainly mini-clips) that have Blake Education resources -save this for future reference! If you view the pdf, find a video you want, click on it to open the video, then in the ClickView interface you will find the associated resources in the “Resources” button (see picture below):
