GAETI 2018: Day 2

Today was a good day! Our day started with Dr. Lee teaching us how to use Adobe Spark. I totally enjoyed learning how to create a spark and plan to use it in my class this year. This will be my first year teaching first graders and second graders along with my seventh and eighth graders. Next,  we had the pleasure of watching a presentation by Mrs. Stephanie Agnew. She presented on presentation development and delivery and advised us to do these things when presenting:

  • Know your content
  • Be prepared
  • Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse
After lunch, we enjoyed a 3d printing presentation and were able to actually touch some actual 3d projects. Then, we went to art with Mrs. Lathom. Finally, we learned how to create web pages with Dr. Lee.

GAETI 2018: Day 3

This has been an AWESOME! I have learned so much from the beginning of the day to the end. Mrs. Stephanie Agnew from MSU libraries taught us all how to make posters with publisher. The best way to get the best printed pic is to save as a pdf and then print. I love it! Dr. Downey came to teach us how to critically evaluate fake news and to use CRAAP to determine if the news you read is real or fake. After lunch we had a wonderful session that from Dr. DeeDee Baldwin. She taught us all how to search for our ancestors on ancestry.com and to create a family tree. I totally enjoyed all the valuable info she gave. Then, we went to art with Mrs. Lathom, the absolute best part of the day (Dr. DeeDee almost had her beat). I love Art. Art really relaxes me. Today we painted our backgrounds for the sgraffito. Lastly, we went to web designs part II with Dr. Lee. TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY!!
