Today is June 1, 2015. I am privileged to be part of the GAETI program with about 14 other teachers from Mississippi. We will be together for 20 days this summer and two more Saturdays during the upcoming school year. I signed up for this program to learn how to instruct my students using the newest technology available. They will all be getting Mac books this fall so I want to be prepared to help them utilize the computer resources they will have available.
So far today we have met our instructors and have seen an overview of the program. It looks fabulous! We have met each other and have begun to share ideas and information.
I will briefly touch on our topics and activities so I can remember everything later.
First - we had a survey. Then, we updated (or created) Gmail accounts. At lunch time - we went on a campus tour where I learned the history of some of the buildings.
After lunch the other Spanish teacher and I met with Dr. J. Beriswell to learn about standards for Language and Technology. We highlighted standards that we can easily incorporate into our Spanish lessons. It should be very easy to employ technology for reading, research and presentations.
Our group went to the library together to learn about using MAGNOLIA to assist in researching multiple data bases. Our school library uses this, as well as the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library.
Afterwards we returned to the Lab 203 to begin 'Blogging'. This is something I've always wanted to do! I'm proud that today I'm publishing my first-ever blog!
