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.

Today we visited  the Lignite Mining Company in Ackerman, MS.  This was a very interesting trip, and I learned a lot.  My original impression of mining is much like the cartoon version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Mining to me was going underground and digging for resources.  Today, I learned quite the contrary.  All of the mining is done above ground, and the land that is used is reclaimed back to its original form.  However, the land was when the mining begins is how it will be restored.  We actually got to touch some lignite before it becomes coal, and then again when it actually forms.  Here are a few pics from the trip: Helpful website (resources): http://www.digintomining.com/sites/digintomining.com/files/content-files/DIMActivity_MinimalistMining.pdf
