Today was the first day of GAETI 2015. I have forgotten what it is like to be a students, but it quickly came back to me. Today has tired me out, but it was informative. Learning that the Magnolia Database is free to taxpayers was the highlight for me. Since I have not been a college student in years, I haven't had the nice free access to research articles that I enjoyed in those 9 short years. Apparently, I've had the ability to access the database but not the knowledge that such access was available. My excitement stems from the ability to locate readings for my Biology II students on a wide range of concepts relating to our standards. By teaching my students to use this database, they will be better able to research topics on their own.
After today, I know that this institute workshop will be beneficial to me and my students. I can hardly wait to learn about new instructional technologies to employ in my classroom. While I have attended other technology workshops, the GAETI workshop is different. We will have time to learn new technologies and gain hands-on experience with these technologies. This will make the difference for me in learning and using these technologies in my classroom
