The morning started off with a discussion by Dr. Morris on atmospheric circulation. I missed a portion of the discussion because my sandal broke as I was walking into the building and I had to go to the nearest shoe store to find a shoe that would suffice for the duration of today's activities. I did find a very comfortable shoe. :) (shout out to the nice girl in Payless who helped me to find that comfortable shoe and who also just graduated from MSU May '16 with a degree in education)
We then moved on to the the library for a presentation on Google Earth and Google Maps and then back to the IED building for part 2 of the atmospheric circulation from Dr. Morris.....very, very interesting!
The second half of the day was extremely interesting. First, we met up with Dr. B again and she taught us lots of visual literacy on website creation and design. Next, we discussed and worked through an activity called "Cookie Mining." For this activity, we had to purchase a chocolate chip cookie of our choice (chunky, soft, or regular), a paper clip and a toothpick from the bank to simulate a geologic mining operation. Lastly, we were given an article on the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union to read and pick out our favorite phrase or sentence. I have totally enjoyed this day of GAETI!!
