Praise God, Praise God, Praise God.  Today is Sunday and I am ready to go to church and praise God for all the blessing He has bestowed upon me.  I am now listening to Shirley Caser, "Hold My Mule"  This is what I feel like today.  I cannot tell it all, but just want to say thank you for Your Name. 

I did great workshop (the best) under the direction of Dr. Pamela Bracey (the best) for 20 days and now I will get my endorsements in IT.  While at this workshop, I got another blessings (new job) in Alabama at Eutaw Middle School (Thank God)

My body was hurting and I was hospitalize (the devil will put roadblocks in front of you, when blessings are coming).  Now, I will proclaim that I am healed in the Name of Jesus Christ (life and death is in the power of the tongue).. THANK YA.

Today, I can finish my FASFA application and get ready to do the IT class on line.  Because now I can do my lesson anywhere cause my cellular phone can now hook up to my lab top and will have connections.  THANK YOU GOD.

Friday, June 26, 2015  The Last day

Today we recieve the CEU registration forms but have not filled them out yet.  We did the GAETI post evaluations.  Then we presented our lesson plan to the class and we voted for the favorite overall lesson plan, favorite science, foreign language, and best ePorfolio.  We got lunch from Mcallisters and it was good.  I had a tuna sandwich.  I ate on halve of it.  We had an awards ceremony presented by Ms. Lathman presented awards and I received the Miss you award.  Ms. Triplett received the Lovable Laughter award and Mrs. V. Jacskson got the  balancing award.  At the end of the class, I had to reflect to the class on what I learn from this workshop.  I was not ready.  It was sort of impromptu, but I did great.  At lunch we took a group photo and we receive a color photo to take home.  Micheal showed us how to do a talking PowerPoint.  Dr. Bracey showed us how to do a reminder and ask us to set-up a twitter account.  Some technologies are:  google plus, blobspot youtube, google earth, google maps, wordle, goFunMe, Magnolia, Prizi, Kidblob, Sykle, Audioboom, Kahoot, manatee, Storify

We added information to the weebly account (youtube:  weeble2015 tutorial).  Homepage, technology, lesson plans, worksamples, and my blob can be added to the weebly account.  I will play with it and have my class to set-up one.


THIS WAS A GREAT WORKSHOP.  THANK GOD

A lady from Texas came and did a presentation on, "How to Make Technology Meaningful in the Classroom?

PLN means personal or professional Learning Network.  Blended Learning is digital (tech) and face-to-face learning combined.  We went to the Google drive and explored different things that it can do. 

These browsers are:  Google chrome is number one.  Firefox is number two.  Internet explorer is going out of style.

Create your own work (students) and share it.  Critical thinking is how is the technology making them think critical

Media Literacy is knowing which (Google chrome, ....etc.) to use

Flip your classroom is put content (lesson) on line so students can review it at home and when they get to school it will be easy to review at school

Digital footprint is if you delete something and it is still "out there.  cloud"

Create and edit audio:  to put your teaching video so students can view and learn for the next day

Social book-marking to share resources

Livebinders.com is a great cite (sign up for it)

kidblog is the site that I will use (sign-up for it)  this site let student work on lessons while you edit it and the students will have a password too.

To share:  share, copy link, blog spot (gaeti2015, or site you going to get it from), paste in url, name and submit

If the document will not save:  download it, save as, to jump drive, download, open it, enable editing
