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
