NEW SCHOOL YEAR September 13

Today we all were able to share with our counter parts about our year so far. We all have faced some struggle but I believe that we will all succeed. I have learned how to build a newspaper and got a lot of new instruction material. I hope we will all succeed all the time.

Last day at our wonderful workshop (summer edition)

I believe that toady was a wonderful wrap up day. This is really the best workshop. Most workshops are boring and just a way to get CEU's. I think this is a wonderful way of learning. This is the most interesting workshop. I would love to help next year with presenting a short portion on National History Day competition if at all possible.

Day 19 presentation day

Today we discussed our lesson plans that we plan on using. We have worked hard on these lesson plans and everyone has some great ideas. I hope that everyone attending uses their materials.

day 18

Today we worked on our website. Also we went to the TK Martin center. We received the Differentiated check list. I realized that most of my students have meet the check list. The Tk Martin Center is amazing on how they help the people that are less fortunate than other students. I need to have hand outs for our students.

day 17

Today we learned about the copyright laws. Also we worked on putting voice files on work. Lastly we worked on putting a info graphic together. The info graphic is one thing that I believe I will be able to use the most. I can use this for my students to see the growth of test scores. The voice on power points would work for if I am sick. I don't think my students will be able to do that right now at the middle school level. The copyright laws are very interesting I really think most teachers break it.

Day 16

Today we learned to use campus. Its a really cool technology. I, however do not see me using it very much in my class, unless I have a student that is going to miss a lot of important things. I have learned about many different technology and I don't see that this one will be as helpful. The power point is something I really enjoyed. I like creating my own background instead of using the same boring background. Overall I think today was pretty good.

June 23, 2014 (day 15)

Today was like walking into a new thing. I have missed a week due to prior arrangement with my district and I feel lost. I have no idea what is going on or what to do. However, I am a quick learner and I can pick up technology pretty well. Today for the most party was going over Prezi and how to use a I pad. Prezi has some advantages and disadvantages. I personally do not like Prezi. On the other hand I would love to use Ipad in my class. I would love to be able to use it but am not willing to spend money on the I pad at this time. Overall I think today will be thrown out and I will pick up more tomorrow.
