Day Five

Everyday it gets gooder and gooder.......
Today started off by learning to create a website.  I thought this is something that I would never be able to do especially without pulling out all my hair.  We learned how to create a website through Weebly.  I think this would be a great capstone project for my students.  The students would create a page for each of the units that are taught in ICT, and that way I would be able to determine what he or she learned this year without actually having to give a final exam. 

Then we discussed, 1:1 initiatives.  I was extremely excited to learn more about them, and actually drafting a letter was ideal.  I can now present this letter along with some additional research to the superintendent with hopes of establishing a 1:1 initiative in our district.

Lastly, Dr. B gave us some great tips on designing our websites and showing us the ABC's R US to a great website.

Day Eighteen

Today began with a synopsis of how the rest of the week would go, and then we began working on setting up our OWN business.  Our team decided to develop an Afterschool Tutoring program named Full Circle Learning. After lunch, Dr. Straughter came in to discuss how we as educator should take care of ourselves.  We took an assessment on our overall wellness.  It determined that my compassion satisfaction is high and that my burnout and secondary trauma level were low. We ended the day with a global perspective talk with a native of Brazil.

Day Seven

Today began with us creating a geological timeline.  I thought this was rather interesting to see how much of Earth's history has just been developed in the last 65 million years, and that the history from 65 million years ago to 4,600,000,000 billion years is so sparse.  I believe that can be incorporated in the Science classroom when we do the history of the atom as well as the cell. Then we began discussing the weather, and then actually creating our own weather PowerPoint.  I enjoyed this; however, I think that we did it in reverse order. If had created our own PPT prior to yesterday's visit we could have presented our own weather report while in the green room. After lunch, we worked on our Art Projects.  We laid down the foundation pieces by doing the watercolors.  We also printed our images in preparation for drawing and cutting out the template on tomorrow. Finally, we had a presentation by Nick about Native Americans, and how they have been portrayed in history.
