Hello, in this video you will learn how to use Lucid for educators as a standalone product or in conjunction with Canvas. We'll talk in a moment about what Lucid is, but first you'll need to know how to log in. You can perform a Google search for Lucid login, or you can simply go to Lucid.doapp. When you go to log in, you want to make sure you choose the login with Google option. This will take you to your dashboard. I currently don't have any projects saved, so we're going to begin by creating something simple. I'm going to click New, and here I'm given a couple of options. I can select Lucidchart, which is primarily for diagramming, meaning it has a lot of shapes and connectors that you can use to place ideas in connection to each other, or I can choose Lucid Spark, which is just a very basic cloud-based whiteboard. I can also import a few other things, but today we're going to focus our attention on the Lucid tools that are available here. I'm going to start a blank board within Lucid Spark; this is the one I would anticipate that teachers would use most frequently. So I can choose a template or I can start from scratch and do whatever I would like to do, and that's what I'm going to do today. I'm going to make something very random here just so we can see how it works. Okay, so there's one part, and here's maybe another part that I'm going to add. I can invite students to join this board, and if you were a Jamboard user in the past, this is the same idea as Jamboard. It is a collaboration space where several users can be involved at once, but Lucid is a lot more sophisticated with the tools and options that are included. It is an unlimited space, and as you can see, very flexible in how it can be used. So now that I have my board, and of course in real life I'm sure it would look a lot more complex than this, but I'm naming my board Test. Now I can either have students join me on this board held inside of Lucid or I can do this through Canvas. I'm going to pull up a Canvas course; this is simply a course that I am an instructor on, and I'm going to add a page. [Music] Okay, now once I open up my editing pane, the Rich Content Editor has a few choices for me up at the top. I can go directly to this L here, or I can go into the plugin and access Lucid. Here what Canvas is inviting me to do is to select any of my Lucid documents to embed right here within this Canvas page. Now Lucid and Canvas are integrated in the background. Lucid knows from my Google login that my account in Canvas is authorized to pull from this particular library that's associated with my user credentials, so that's why the Test board that I just created pops up. I'm going to select Test, I get a preview of it here, and now I'm going to hit Continue. I'm going to tell what others can do to my board. Do I want them to edit, comment only, or view only? If I'm doing something collaboratively with students, I'm probably going to give them the option to edit. I hit Insert and [Music] Save, and now my document is live within Canvas. I can do the same things I was doing out in Lucid for the most part right here within Canvas. Lucid Spark creates a live synchronous collaboration space where many students can work in groups or work as a whole class to demonstrate knowledge or to help them think through particular parts of a lesson. The other option is Lucidchart, and within Lucidchart, you'll see that your tools are different; you have a different purpose here. Lucidchart is more for diagram and flow chart making. If you want something that is more brainstorm-ish and allows for kind of free thinking and free arrangement, Lucid Spark is going to be the best choice for you. But either of those are easily embedded using, again, either the L Lucid icon here or Lucid as it is in your plugins. Enjoy using this product.
