Day 4 2017 GAETI

Today in GAETI we went to the coal mine. It was interesting learning about what they really did at the coal mine. It open my eyes a little, my preconceive notion was not what I expected. The presenter was fun and he kept my attention. The reclamation process was amazing. They can make the land back new like it was untouched. Given a person back their land just like it was handed to them is great. The last thing we did was an activity that involve clay, sand, gravel and pea gravel. It was fun and if I was and science teacher I would use it in my class. It teaches the students about porosity and permeability. It would be fun, but it could be messy at the same time. I thought the Red Hills mines was interesting, but I would have preferred more hands on.

Day 1 2017 GAETI

Today in GAETI was a day of meeting new people and learning new ideas. The day started off with an energize instructor that was very happy and enthused about what she telling us. We also meet other professors that was happy to see us and explained their roll in GAETI.  Then we explored the IED building and took a walk to the library. At the library we learned about MAGNOLIA and how it can be used in the classroom. It was very interesting to me because I can show my students different ways to research. Also, it will give my students a chance to explore some information they might be interested in. In the second half of GAETI I learned about the different standards and how they can be used in English, History, Technology, and Science. In my group we discuss ethics and how to use all the standards that were presented today. My group member gave a website where students can create comic strips free.  I never would have considered using a comic strip to explain ethics. This would keep the s

Day 2 2017 GAETI

Today in GAETI was very interesting. We learned about the earth and all the hemisphere. I never really thought much about them. Also, the activity with the globe was very good and it kept me awake in class. The presenter did a good job of presenting what we needed to know. When we went to the excel activity it was more of a refresher for me because I knew most of the information she was going over. I did learn how to isolate certain numbers in excel and I can use that in my class. The afternoon for GAETI was really fun. I enjoyed creating data and then making a chart with it. I can use that in my class an my students can use critical thinking skills and work on interviewing skills. Also, it would require the students to think about how to use the scientific method which includes science in the lesson. The civil rights presentation needed to be a little more entertaining. I would have preferred to have some videos, conversation instead of a person telling me about civil rights. Lastly,
