Day 5 Intro to Huang and our inner Artist

Our instructor Ms. Huang gave us useful tools (i.e www.polleverywhere.com, gaeti2014.blogspot.com, www.croodoc.com, www.wordle.net, bubbl.us, www.weebly.com, etc.) essentially providing us with useful teaching tools and methods to be more effective history teachers. This morning, prior to arriving on my motorcycle I was soooo proud of myself for making it to Starkville BUT just 3 little miles away from campus and a torrential rainstorm kept me from getting to my desire destination. Literally drenched to the bone, soaked socks and all, just as I was preparing to head to campus around 7 it started up again and I met the owner of the BMG here in town, very decent fellow. Two helpful things for today, website resources and concept mapping. I'll apply the weebly to my lesson plans for all my students not just my STEM students. That way all work can be uploaded to each student's webpage. Art was very informative and the hands on experience is always a plus for students. Our instructor is a very high energy up-tempo person who really enjoys the art therapy she provides her students and hopefully the same energy will permeate through us al when we share our lessons with students who may be a bit apprehensive about being artistic. Overall a grand academic day good job GAETI... Oh, and True Blood comes on in 2 weeks not this past weekend.
