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 17 2017 GAETI

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

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, ...
