00:00:00.083 --> 00:00:01.959
How can you spark
students' interest in coding

2
00:00:01.959 --> 00:00:04.792
and show them that it
can be fun and useful?

3
00:00:04.792 --> 00:00:06.751
I'm going to show you how
with a tool called

4
00:00:06.751 --> 00:00:08.334
Mozilla X-Ray Goggles.

5
00:00:08.334 --> 00:00:10.792
So, here we are on
the Mozilla X-Ray Goggles page,

6
00:00:10.792 --> 00:00:13.918
and what you can do here
is you can actually see the code

7
00:00:13.918 --> 00:00:17.292
behind your favorite webpages,
and you can remix them.

8
00:00:17.292 --> 00:00:18.959
It's very easy to get it set up.

9
00:00:18.959 --> 00:00:20.667
There are really only two steps.

10
00:00:20.667 --> 00:00:24.000
You basically need
to drag X-Ray Goggles

11
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.083
into your Favorites
tool bar.

12
00:00:27.083 --> 00:00:29.626
Once you have it up there,
what you can do is you can

13
00:00:29.626 --> 00:00:33.459
go to a site that students
really find interest in,

14
00:00:33.459 --> 00:00:36.000
and up here, at the top right,
go ahead and click

15
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.792
"X-Ray Goggles."

16
00:00:37.792 --> 00:00:40.959
From there, you'll notice
that it takes the site

17
00:00:40.959 --> 00:00:43.959
and it breaks it down into
chunks, much more manageable

18
00:00:43.959 --> 00:00:46.209
for students to see
what's going on.

19
00:00:46.209 --> 00:00:48.459
Now, what you can do from here
is if you click,

20
00:00:48.459 --> 00:00:52.334
you can actually see
the code that goes in at

21
00:00:52.334 --> 00:00:54.584
the bottom of the screen,
you can see the code that goes

22
00:00:54.584 --> 00:00:56.417
into making the site.

23
00:00:56.417 --> 00:01:01.459
Students can change and swap in
images, they can swap videos,

24
00:01:01.459 --> 00:01:03.834
or they can change
the text of these sites.

25
00:01:03.834 --> 00:01:06.375
What I would suggest for
students who are just starting

26
00:01:06.375 --> 00:01:08.918
is really click on something
very small.

27
00:01:08.918 --> 00:01:12.501
So, I'm just going to click here
on this one piece of text,

28
00:01:12.501 --> 00:01:14.876
"Music for everyone."

29
00:01:14.876 --> 00:01:16.751
From here, at the bottom, you'll
see there isn't much there,

30
00:01:16.751 --> 00:01:19.250
but this is a great way
to get students started.

31
00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:24.125
I'm going to go ahead and
personalize it... "for ME."

32
00:01:24.125 --> 00:01:26.459
So, here you can see we've
changed the site.

33
00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:28.459
The good news is, here,
is this isn't permanent,

34
00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:30.667
it hasn't changed
the Spotify site,

35
00:01:30.667 --> 00:01:33.959
it's just created a remixed site

36
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.876
that then, on the right-hand
side, you can click publish,

37
00:01:36.876 --> 00:01:40.417
and you can actually publish
and share this remix,

38
00:01:40.417 --> 00:01:43.834
this remix page with teachers,
classmates, and friends.

39
00:01:43.834 --> 00:01:46.667
Now, this is all a lot of fun,
this gets students interested

40
00:01:46.667 --> 00:01:50.375
in the site to begin with,
but what about deeper learning?

41
00:01:50.375 --> 00:01:53.459
One of the things that you can
do is you can go to a news site

42
00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:56.792
and you can have students,
again, look at the different

43
00:01:56.792 --> 00:01:59.751
pieces of the site,
go ahead and click on them,

44
00:01:59.751 --> 00:02:02.083
and they can add their
commentary.

45
00:02:02.083 --> 00:02:06.167
You can spot biases, you can
annotate the webpage up

46
00:02:06.167 --> 00:02:09.209
as you'd like, remix it,
so you can really do some

47
00:02:09.209 --> 00:02:12.250
deeper learning here
with X-Ray Goggles.

48
00:02:12.250 --> 00:02:15.375
If you go onto Mozilla's site,
you'll actually see a lot of

49
00:02:15.375 --> 00:02:17.334
different resources
that you can try,

50
00:02:17.334 --> 00:02:19.626
different activities to
get students thinking

51
00:02:19.626 --> 00:02:21.417
critically about media.

52
00:02:21.417 --> 00:02:26.000
But it's really just a great way
to spark students' interest

53
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.584
and get them learning on the go.

54
00:02:28.584 --> 00:02:30.626
