SKYPE:
This morning was fantastic, we started with a Skype visit to CHILE, WE MET Miguel Alarcon a semi-retired Technical English professor in one of their universities. He was proud of the changes that have come about in his country. He expressed how it was now a democratic country. Learning to adjust to the changes that come along with new democracies.. He was very possitive about his beautiful country and fellow citizens. He explained about his country's diverse climate, Hot in the north, medium temps in the middle, and freezing cold weather in the south. He reminded us that they use the metric system there.
I asked about university students and how they fund their education. He said that next year they will be free.\
Today we visited TK Martin Center at MSU
I think that every teacher and administrator should be aware of its existence and the wonder resource that it provides to anyone who has been injured or is born with disabilities.
YouTube
We learned how to record a power point presentation and save it on YouTube
Art was fun
Blogs and Wikis
Blogs is individual work
Wikis multiple participants contribute to the work
WebQuest
We are working on a project that we will be able to use in the fall.
Hope and I are working on a project for Spanish Heritage Month.
We want to use La Voz as our inspiration , and let the students research a person, create a product; a trading card, compete against each other by impersonating that person- selecting one of the person's work and share with the class, they may opt to record themselves with the iPads or place it on our YouTube for our class.
