GAETI 2017 Beverlee Jackson

Today in the follow-up session we talked about how we are using the resources in our classroom. It was amazing how most people used the resources, but others had problems because of technology issues. Also, we went over how to write a grant. I always thought that writing a grants took hours to do, but the way Dr. Bracey explained it it seems a little a easier. I do plan to write one if I have time. I really like that idea from Yokohama and the gym equipment. We really need something for our children to exercise on an getting outdoor exercise equipment along with the the track we have would be wonderful. At the end of the day we learn about code. I plan to use some of the activities in the book. We are suppose to be train later because ICT 1 will be moved to 6th grade. I think this is a wonderful program and it will help the students learn more about computer science. Maybe it will encourage girls to get involve in computer science and maybe choose a profession in it.

Today was wonderful! It was the last day but it was a wonderful day! I will use sparks adobe in my class and my children will love it. I appreciate the teachers they have taught me so much that I am excited and ready to take it back to my class. I would like to thank everybody that was in the workshop and I wish them well. Also, thank you for the awards and May God Bless You!

Today in GAETI, we started off with presentation from each students about their art project. It was wonderful, everybody had beautiful art work. Then we went to the computer room and worked on our weebly website. We had to make sure we had all our components in it. It was good day.

Today in GAETI we talked about creating a business plan. The CD did not work and we just discuss some business strategies. Then we worked on our weebly and after lunch we listen to a speaker talk about wellness. It was the best presentation and I enjoyed it. I am going to take that information and use it for my health. Lastly we did a video with Dr. B with a person from Brazil it was good. We asked questions an the answers were good.

Today in GAETI we learned how to create a story using Piktochart. It was fun and I would use it in my class. It was easy and user friendly for the students. I will have to make sure that I go back over the instruction and know the ups and own. Then we created a story in adobe spark which consisted of us talking through our head phones. I am going to have to make sure that I ask my CTC director can I get some headphones with microphones. The students will enjoy this and would love making videos. After lunch I finished up my weebly page by completing my lesson plan which took some time. Then we went to the library and learned about prezi and it was another way to create slides. I will not use it because the students might get sea sick and really not want to read the content but play around with it because the slides go in and out. https://spark.adobe.com/video/KZFQZuOTgNkxg https://magic.piktochart.com/output/23225778-us-daily

Today in GAETI we went over a lot of technology that I would use in my class. The young lady that talked to us about using laptops in class and some apps for and it was good. I think I am going to show my students how to use the apps using the computers. I will have to make sure that I set rules on using the apps. Then we created a story using adobe spark. I will use that in my class so my students can do a story about themselves. After lunch we had to explain about our art work through word. In the evening as a group we created a newspaper where we had to find 2 articles  for our paper and we did ours on Technology. Then we worked on the weebly page and I need to complete my lesson plan to update my page.
