GAETI DAY 20: SURVEY, CEUS, SHOW AND TELL OUR WEBSITES AND PROJECTS, LAST DAY
Today has been a great day. Its our last day. I'm sorry I did not BLOG yesterday, but I was working on my lesson plan. I worked until 7:00 and stayed up to 1:00 am in the morning.
I am so glad to have been chosen to be a part of this journey for the past month. I have attended each day and I learned so many things from all the profesionals.
We traveled to a coal mine in Mississippi, we visited art display, archeology and geological museums on MSU campus.
The IHL grant has been a blessing to me as a teacher because I am interested in technology but I needed one on one training.
I learned how to BLOG, how to incorporate technology in my lessons. Creating a Weebly, and creating links for activities on my assignments would be great for my students. Wordle will help my students learn vocabulary, Remind 101 to contact my students is great.
I enjoyed creating my art project.
Everything was great.

GAETI Dia 16: Finish Video, Art, Lesson Plan
Today Hope and I organized our video clips and finished our movie. We had written the dialog and I recorded it using my voice. Together we choose the clips and organized them in the order we wanted to tell our story. Hope worked on some of the special effects like adding music, the Callout. We had fun doing the project. We discussed how it is possible that our students may be grouped in twos or three but no more. I can't wait to show it to my students.
I worked on the background for my art project today, and cleaned my glass coffee pot. Can't wait to finish it. I was disappointed that the frame will have to come out of my pocket.
Worked on my lesson plan today, I need to create a power point and down load some videos (Salsa Music) from YouTube.

GAETI 2015: DAY 16-DIA DIECISEIS; LETTER TO DISTRICT, MOVIE WITH FLATSTANLEY, LESSON PLAN
Monday morning
Today we completed our letter to our Districts for technology advancement. Having students bring their own devices is a cultural transition. The fears in the communities are genuine, worries about children being exposed to child predators, addictions to technology do rob children from their play times and parents want to be in charge WHEN they feel that their child is ready to tackle the world of technology. Lot of real issues and hurdles to overcome in the technology advancement.
Today we finished producing a practice movie. And today Hope and I went on an adventure, creating our own FlatStanley story. We want to prepare a story in spanish so we could use with our students and have them create their adventure with him when school starts. It took us a while with thinking about what we wanted to cover, considering the level of Spanish that our students are learning. We went to the library, the footbal stadium (outside), we walked over to the Barnes and Nobles and actually left him on a counter and had to run back to get him. It was hot today. Then we took him to Subway to have lunch and we helped him to go home in an envelope at the Post Office.I cant wait to download the videos and work on the speaking and music part.
After lunch we worked on our lesson plans. I changed mine to music, I want to cover music this year with my second year students and holidays with my first year students.
We are finishing the day with art.

GAETI 2015 DAY 13, DIA TRECE SKYPE, TK MARTIN CENTER MSU, ART, WEBQUEST PROJECT. Las Explora' DORAS
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.
