Today was so much fun, because we spent the majority of the day on the computer. I learned a lot and will use it in my class. The instructor was patient and he made sure that every students was on task. Then we went to art class. That was challenging for me because I am not that expressive with my hand unless it is on the computer. Also, I am not patient and I need to work on that that. The last part of the day was building a website, which I definitely will try to use in my class this upcoming year. It was very interesting and I learned a lot.
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.
