Final Day of Gaeti

Wow, today has been so exciting and sad at the same time. I came here today not expecting to learn so many new technologies today. I have learn some many new things that I can take back to my classroom and my district. I am so appreciative for Dr. Bracey and her colleagues for this amazing opportunity. As we all know technology changes everyday and is a major part in getting students ready for the 21st century. GAETI has helped me enhance my skills and knowledge as a teacher.  I have enjoyed working with the other GAETI participants throughout this process and hope we will continue to network in the future.

Fall Follow-up

Today has been another awesome experience coming back to GAETI for the followup session. Today we collaborated about different resources we have been using in our classrooms learned from  the GAETI workshop. We shared additional resources that we have used or heard of since this summer. Dr. Bracey did an awesome job with the explaining the Do's and Don'ts for writing a grant. I am know excited about applying for a grant.  The Geocaching Activity was awesome and I plan to use this activity in my class. I am so excited about meeting again in the Spring!

Day 19

Today is our last day for the summer here for GAETI 2016. I have enjoyed everyday here. The activities and information that was provided this month has been a great learning experience for me. I have received a lot of information that I will use in my classroom to enhance the learning of my students. I also have enjoyed meeting and working with teachers from other districts.  We presented our lesson plans and weebly sites today, and each teacher had great lessons. I will use a few ideas from many of those lessons. I want to thank Dr. Bracey and her colleagues for this opportunity,  I really have learned a lot.

See you in the fall!

Day 18

Today was an awesome day! I finally finished my weebly and I am so proud of my work. As I look back on everything, I have learned a lot that I will use  and share with other teachers.  This has been a great educational experience for me. Mrs. Latham gave awards today and I received the "I Can Do It" award, which was  too funny! She really is a sweet person and her light truly shines. Dr. Bracey is of course awesome! I really admire what she is implementing here in ISWD. and it shows how she truly love to help others.  She is very knowledgeable in her expertise and I appreciate her input. She gave out some more gifts today, that we can use in our classrooms.  Gaeti 2016 had awesome participants and an awesome facilitator "Dr. Bracey".

Day18

Today was very busy! I am getting a little sad, because we only have a few days left. I have learned so many tools that I will use in my classroom with Dr. Lee.  The pikotochart was my favorite thing I created today. Time is ticking so tomorrow I will have to get busy on my lesson plan.  There is so little time but a lot to do!

Day 17

Today was another good day! Stephanie from the library can by this morning to do a Prezi presentation. She showed us ways we could incorporate a Prezi in our classrooms. Dr. Lee provided us with several apps we can use on our Ipads in the classroom. I love the assignment of creating a newsletter with others using Google Docs.

Day 16

Hello Monday!
 This is the final week of Gaeti and there is still a lot that I need to get done for my weebly. We learned how to create a Web Quest today and how to use Canvas as a teacher in our classroom. Also we went over time for the Flat Stanley project due to computer problems,  we finally finished it today.  I ran out of time to start placing things on my weebly, so tomorrow will be a busy day!
