*Music Plays* Hey everyone it's Chris and Brandon from the tech department with your

digital media minute!

Talk about strange headgear!

We were just actually just climbing Mount Everest.

And now we're going to go swimming with the sharks!

We're going to all these exotic locations thanks to the Google Expeditions app, and

these Google Cardboard virtual reality headsets.

So what I have here is a tablet which the teacher leads the group from.

They guide their class through a series of scenes around a particular topic.

Everything from the body, to a foreign country, to historical places!

Meanwhile, students wear these VR headsets and join the expedition.

What's neat is while the students are free to roam around the scene they're looking at,

teachers can call out specific items in a scene, for example a particular fish in an

underwater scene.

Students see it as a bullseye and are pointed with arrows to it on their screens.

Teachers meanwhile see all these little smiley faces which represent where each student it

looking in a particular scene.

So here's the catch.

You do need to download the free app on an iOS or Android device in order to browse the

catalogue.

But once you've chosen a destination, you don't have to use your own device.

You can sign out this tablet, and the kit of our headsets and phones from the IT department.

So get out there and start exploring!

As always, if you have questions you can always email us as help@hfcsd.org.

Thanks for joining us for this digital media minute!

You may not know this, but as an AC student, you have free access to word processing programs.

Not everybody can afford Microsoft Word, but Google Docs is pretty similar to Word.

You can access all of the Google products through your email.

So here on AC's main page, I'll click on AC Connect.

I always click this button even if I'm on a public computer (I explained why in my video

on Blackboard ).

I'll log in with my usual AC credentials, and then here's where you can access your email.

Once you're in, click on this little grid up here in the top right corner.

This is the Google stuff, including Docs and Slides, which you might want to use for assignments

in my class as well as other classes you take here.

If you haven't used Docs yet, you won't see any files listed down here.

Just click on Blank.

Now, you could just start typing away from scratch.

Or, if you have a Microsoft Word document that you can't open on your own computer,

as long as you've saved it somewhere, click here on File, Open, and Upload.

You can then search for it and open it up here in Google.

Name your file up here, and then when you're done and ready to turn this in to Blackboard,

simply click on File, Download as, and then select something that Blackboard can read.

For the Service Learning Project, select either Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format.

Those are the only two options that will work for that assignment.

For the Group Assignment or for your other classes, you might want something as a PDF.

Maybe you'll want to use these others too, but I usually stick with Word, Rich Text,

or PDF.

A cool thing about Google is that it autosaves.

So you don't have to worry about saving this.

It's HERE.

The next time you log in, you'll see this document listed under your Recent Documents.

I'm not going to go over it much, but Slides is the equivalent of Microsoft's PowerPoint

and it works basically the same way as Google Docs.

For both Slides and Docs, you can click on this Share button to share with the members

of your group.

Then everybody can make changes to your shared document.

Ok, that's a quick review of Google.

Any student worker in any AC lab ought to be able to help you with this as well.

Thanks for watching!

gtag.js – Do you need Google's new Global Site Tag? - Duration: 4:42.

Hey there!

I'm Benjamin from Loves Data.

In this video you're going to learn all about gtag - Google's new Global Site Tag.

If you've recently needed to install Google Analytics on your website or you've recently

setup conversion tracking in Google AdWords, then you might have noticed that the tracking

code looks different.

You'll now see the new Global Site Tag in Google Analytics and Google AdWords.

So what is gtag?

What are the benefits?

And should you migrate?

I answer these question for you in this video...

Let's get started!

The new Global Site Tag is designed to streamline tagging on your website.

It's been created by the team that develops Google Tag Manager at Google and replaces

the previous analytics.js tag for Google Analytics and the previous conversion tracking tag from

Google AdWords.

Using the new Global Site Tag means that you're using the latest tracking tag from Google

and you'll be able to access new features that Google releases.

The first question you might be asking is - What do I need to do if I'm currently using

Google Tag Manager?

The answer to this is simple - nothing!

You don't need to do anything if you're currently using Google Tag Manager.

The Global Site Tag is really designed for people who aren't using Google Tag Manager

yet.

So if you're already using Google Tag Manager and you're sending data to Google Analytics

using the built-in Google Analytics tags, then you don't need to do anything.

Just to highlight you shouldn't be removing the in-built Google Analytics tags and using

a custom HTML tag.

This won't give you an extra benefits.

So now you might be asking - Who should use the Global Site Tag?

Basically, anybody who isn't using Google Tag Manager.

So if you currently have the Google Analytics tracking code embedded directly on your website,

then you should consider migrating to gtag.js.

If you're currently using the dedicated Google AdWords tracking code, which is the conversion.js

code, then you need to migrate to gtag.js to avoid inaccurate conversion tracking.

This is because the recent addition of intelligent tracking prevention in Safari by Apple means

you'll be missing conversion data with the old tracking tag.

However, if you're going to take the time migrate, then you're probably going to see

more benefits by implementing Google Tag Manager instead.

You'll be able to take advantage of tag management and all of the new built-in triggers in Google

Tag Manager.

An alternate option is to link Google AdWords to Google Analytics and import your conversions

into AdWords.

This means you'll be accurately tracking conversions, even on Safari.

The Global Site Tag is really designed for people just starting to use Google Analytics

and Google AdWords tracking.

The best way to think of the Global Site Tag is a simplified version of Google Tag Manager.

It provides new flexibility, for example, you can currently modify the tag to simultaneously

track into Google Analytics and Google AdWords...

Here's an example of one tag that will only send data to Google Analytics...

And another tag that will only send data to Google AdWords...

And here's an example of a modified tag that's sending data to both...

Google have also said that they will provide a way for people to migrate from the Global

Site Tag to Google Tag Manager in the future.

This is going to be a great benefit for people who begin using the Global Site Tag who then

want to take advantage of tag management.

It will mean they don't need to re-tag their entire website.

If you're looking to use the Global Site Tag you can find it in Google Analytics by navigating

to 'admin' and then selecting 'tracking info'...

And then 'tracking code'...

Here we can see the tracking code is gtag.js...

And if you're in Google AdWords you can find it by navigating to 'Conversions'...

And when you create a new conversion, you'll be given the Global Site Tag to track conversions

into your AdWords account.

// So they're the benefits of the new Global Site Tag and who should be using it.

Remember, if you're already using Google Tag Manager, then you don't need to change your

tags.

You only need to migrate if you're using the analytics.js or conversion.js tracking tags

from Google.

And if that's you, then it's the perfect time to consider implementing Google Tag Manger

for even more benefits.
