Today was the last day of GAETI 2018. We presented our final projects and songs today. I enjoyed GAETI very much this year

We began this morning with college and career readiness skills. It is important to prepare students for college, work, and life. By doing this, teachers fill in the gaps for students to become productive and informed citizens in society. After college and career reediness standards, we moved onto urban instruction using technology.  Socrative, Kahoot, quizbizz, are some good websites to use to help students learn. We rapped the day with a session on vocabulary study.

The main focus of today was Microsoft publisher,  fake news, and ancestry websites. This morning the library presented how to create a poster using Microsoft publisher. After that, we moved on to a presentation on how to differentiate between fake news sources and reliable sources. After lunch, we attended a presentation on the different types of websites that can help you with genealogy. Then we concluded the day by tracing our scene backgrounds to the wood we painted yesterday, and began painting the backgrounds.

Today we talked about how to use music to as a classroom management tool. We also went over a few practical classroom management ideas to use in our classrooms.

I have enjoyed GAETI 2016 and I am looking forward to this second week of the workshop.

Day 5: Library References

Today we went to library at MSU. they showed us around and how to use the library's reference centers and media center. It was very interesting and helpful information. Also, it would be a good field trip for students to learn how to use references as they complete research projects.
