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.

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.

Day 15

June 23rd, 2014 We started our morning with a show and tell, then we went to the library to learn about how to create prezi presentations from Ms. Agnew and, Mr. La Foe spoke about presenting with the Ipad, I personally think that the presentation was interesting but I didn't have any questions because I am not familiar with using an Ipad, maybe when I get one or the school district provides one for foreign language teachers I will have a lot of questions. Our High School has Ipads that are just for English, Algebra, U.S. History and Biology (testing areas) teachers to use. After lunch we came back and work on a prezi presentation and on a Web Quest. We couldn't go to the library for the presentation of Know your Copyrigths because of the rain, but Dr. Lee gave us the pamphlet that contains the information. I am almost done with my art project.

Day 14

June 20th, 2014 Today we started with show and tell, some of my colleague shared the same websites but explained them more in detail. Mr. Silence shared code.org and Laura shared Gutenberg.org, those two cough my attention. We walked to Allen Hall and we were introduced the Canvas and saw other tools like wikispaces, QuestGarden, padlet, popplet, storify and there are some other that we didn't go over as a group but I look over the websites on my own. After lunch we came back to the Educational building and work with our canvas again and we worked practicing with padlet, we created our story using storify and attached the link to our webbly website, also we attached our blog to webbly. In our blog we learned how to attach another person's blog to our blog page. How much we have learned just in one day. I enjoyed all this week.
