The week at NCCAT was wonderful. It was packed with information and I now have many things I want to use with my students. I cannot wait to try “Remind” (http://remind.com) to text my students and parents. This will be a great resources to use when we are going on field trips or when I just need to send out a project reminder.
Eric Rowles’ presentation was one of the highlights of the week. Eric provided several interesting examples of how I can use technology with students. I was especially intrigued by the “Miranda” activity to show students how images/posts are difficult to remove from the internet.
The rafting trip, which included the cultural and ecological tour, was another highlight of the week. It was a wonderful way to get to know the other Kenan Fellows. I felt so much more relaxed after the rafting trip and better able to collaborate with the other Kenan fellows. It reminded me how important it is to bridge my classrooms to the outdoors.
The whole week at NCCAT was fantastic. I arrived nervous and apprehensive and left feeling confident about what it means to be a Kenan Fellow. I feel like I have an incredible network of teachers that I can use for support as I work with my students and other teaching professionals.
The “Miranda” activity has really stuck out in my mind also. On the ride home, I was trying to figure out which student’s picture to use.
I, too, was nervous and very apprehensive about the Kenan Fellowship.
I enjoyed working with you on the “Big Project.” I think Trello will help me a lot.
Definitely not nervous or apprehensive now. I totally agree. The staff at NCCAT and in the KFP really helped that. The entire week was just a blast. I had forgotten about the Miranda activity until I read your blog post. So many things to remember!
