New Year, New Post

Guess what? We're back!

Short session this time.  Only 5 days as opposed to a month.  So everything is feeling pretty rapid-fire.

New art project:




It is an explanation of the Watergate Scandal.

Today we were treated to a session on using music in the classroom by he Funchess' of Yazoo County.

It was very informative and entertaining.

After our art project, we were treated to a session from Reginald Ware of Alabama.

This one dealt with classroom management and was extremely informative and entertaining as well.  I will definitely be using the social contract in my class this year, especially since I am starting at a new school.

Day 16: Review, A Website of my life, a Super Nova and all the news that's fit to print.

We began with a presentation about iPad apps that can be of use in the classroom. Then we made out own website story using Adobe Spark: https://spark.adobe.com/page/kj2yyqTGGi3R5/ So over the weekend, my clay pieces were fired.  One came out fine: And it's being glazed: The glaze looks like Pepto-Bismol. My tiles were not so fortunate. This is the sole survivor.  Much like an old star, they exploded.  The brightest flames burn quickest, I suppose.  I still have the concept and I also have the sole survivor: Hopefully, it holds up because this glaze has a very interesting look once it's fired.

Day 1: Orientation, MAGNOLIA and Standards.Oh My!

Image
I'm back, baby! And it feels so good. So today was like a reunion.  Seeing people i've not seen in a while. Reuniting with colleagues and meeting new colleagues.

Anyway, after lunch we went over to the library to get acquainted with MAGNOLIA . I'm pretty sure i'll be able to utilize it effectively.  Especially now that I hyperlinked it to the page that I can revisit! I learned THAT lesson from last time, I tell you what. Then we learned about standards.  I was not aware of this little jewel that can help out with standards as far as technology integration is concerned.
