I found this day to be pretty...productive. We once again, worked in groups. Using Windows Movie Maker we came up with a short movie on Time Management. As a group we did run into a few problems with the flip cam, audio, and formatting the files. But as a team we totally did an awesome job. We captured the points of Time Management so that's all that matters. This made me realize that time management can be a critical point in my success in the Teach Up! program. Having good time management can be beneficial to both the teachers and I.
WOW!!
Goggle Earth blew me out the water, I knew how to use it and concepts. But when I saw that we can change the map into different time frames that was pretty cool. I bet the students would be intrigued to learn more about the different parts of the world. It would make geography, math, and history fun to learn. Maybe this would give a better outlook to the world then the old flat map.
I never used Gmail before but it seem like a cool emailing site. It's good for organizing your personal dates or upcoming events in school. The calendar comes in handy with important appointments, you may have with the teachers. And the teachers would appreciate that you show up on time.
Thanks to the DOT trainers. Had Fun!! Looking forward to Day 3.
I'm glad that you enjoyed training, and that you got a lot out of the different tools that we covered. Your group had a great video and effectively managed your time to get things done. How did you overcome the challenges you faced? What role do you think you played within your group?
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the teachers will embrace these tools quickly? How do you think you can convince them that it is worth their time?
