Spring follow up

3/21/15 Today was a fast day to me, I was the third one to get into the building, and I was so happy to see everyone again. We started or morning sharing what we have being using in our classroom learned at GAETI. Everyone is using technologies and strategies in their classroom, even 3 of my colleagues were selected as teacher of the month and one was selected as a Teacher of the year. The ones that who allowed this to happen over MSU people were here and they were very happy with the institute results. After that, we started to work in our video assignment, Dr. Birswell gave to us directions. We went around MSU campus and make clips for us to make our video. We had a fabulous lunch and after that we did our survey. We went to the computer lab and Dr. Birswill gave us directions and how to create our video and we work on that the rest of the day. Dr. Bracey gave us some gift and thanks us. And we came back to the computer lab to do our blog and review our videos, our final products. I was happy to be here, Thank you GAETI team!

September, 13th.

Hello there! I was glad to be back and see my colleagues faces. During the morning time we all shared what we have used and what we haven't use, what have been successful and what have not. I enjoyed listening to what they shared, also it refreshed my mind about some technology tools. I just feel sad that I can really have access to the computer labs because of how many teachers we are at our school, but I will continue to try and put in practice what I have learned. I felt very happy when the other ladies that visit us informed that the institute will be open for our colleagues next summer. We had a very balanced lunch, I loved it!I am very glad for the different resources that we got from the institute today. In the afternoon we cooperated doing a newspaper as a foreign language group. Thank you for everything! See you in Spring...

Day 20

June 30th, 2014 I can believe that today is our last day at GAETI for this month, we have learned so much and I really enjoyed. Today I even volunteered to present my website, I didn't wait till the end. I really want to have some vacation time, but I know myself, after a week of vacation, I will need to start working and get ready for my new school year. I hope that my administrators will not surprise me with any drastic change, like classroom or grade level. I enjoyed every single one of my colleagues and I will be waiting for our follow up to see them again, and Dr. Bracey also.

Day 19

June 27th, 2014 Today was lesson plan presentations day, and it did take the whole day for all of us to present our lesson plans. I did like some of the activities used and I will put them in practice,like Mr. Joblin group arrangement activity. I specially liked Katy lesson it looked like she was using a lot of technology on it. It was a long day but it showed that we can do a better job as teachers day by day putting in practice what we have learned at this institute. Thank you GAETI 2014.

Day 18

June 26th, 2014 Today our morning was very interesting, we worked on our lesson plan and our technology plan after that we toured the TK Martin Center for Technology and Disabilities, I was amazed of the kind of technology that was presented to us. After lunch we came to the computer lab and we typed our technology plan on our webbly page. I also attached my lesson plan to my Portfolio, I also started working on my presentation section on webbly. During art class everyone presented their piece of art to the class and I presented mine with background music, the anthem of Panama.

Day 17

June 25th, 2014 We started our day with show and tell by Katy, then we went to the Allan Hall and I learned from Dr. Lee how to use Info graphic, audio boo and how to create a movie using power point and convert it into YouTube video. After lunch Dr. Lee thought us how to add our Infographic, webquest and audioboo to or webpage to the section of work samples. After that I went and worked on my art project but I am still missing and eye, hopefully I will finish it by tomorrow when I need to present it. After the art project I worked on my lesson plan.

Day 16

June 24th, 2014 This morning we had show and tell then we went to the Allen Hall and worked with "Canvas" on the teacher perspective in how to create a course for students. In the Afternoon Ms. Beriswill showed us a few magic trick that we can use when we create a power point, an easier way for us. We created a power point on frogs with Ms. Beriswill directions and then we putted the knowledge acquire into practice. I created a power point on seasons and months for the class that I need to present on Friday. I also worked a little on my lesson plan since I am all done cutting glass on my art project and I need to wait for the teacher to have the glass melted to continue and finish my art project.
