Day 4

Hello Bloggers,
 
We went to a COAL mine today.  the tour was very,  very interesting. the tour itself was informative and we got to see how the mine and them extracting coal really works. I think this would be an experience my students would actually find enjoyable and interesting. The staff was super nice. They fed us lunch which was delicious. We all hear of coal of being a nonrenewable resource we got yo see first hand why. I was glad to see how they restore the land after they have mined it. In the past the land was often stripped and gone to waste. Mining is a much different process now. it is a much safer occupation for the land and the workers  .TODAY WAY A GOOD DAY. Looking forward to the rest of the workshop.

I found this great lesson on mining which I will try in my classsroom

Day 8

Hello Bloggers' Another day of GAETI reporting to you. We started the day with lesson planning and what would be a good method of planning. We learned about backward planning. that is creating your assessment before you write you plan. A great idea.  I would share with my colleagues why backward design starts with you end result by explaining to them if you start with knowing what you want your students to learn you can plan better. Everyone know a good lesson always starts with good planning. One idea I learned  I will use in my class is the scratch off cards. It is a great to to use for assessment. You could also use it as a method of getting student comfortable with grouping. Dr. Huang conducted the day it was great. We also talked to a teacher from India. She was quite informative about her life as a teacher. For the most part her life is pretty much like a teacher's life here. Blog later Jettie
