As at the saying goes, all good things come to an end. I hate to admit it but I am really sad that this is our last day at GAETI. GAETI has had a tremendous impact on my life both as an individual and as a teacher. From 2014 to this day, I use all the resources that GAETI has provided to me. These in turn have made and are still making a positive impact in the lives of my students. Thanks GAETI and special thanks to Dr. Bracey for all you have done. We are proud of you.

Mrs. Horn did a great job reiterating the significance of integrating College and Career readiness standards skills into our daily instruction. The importance of doing this daily cannot be over-emphasized. As a matter of fact, educators must minimized missed opportunities for making positive impacts in the lives of our students. I particularly enjoyed the Urban Instruction for Generation Z. Also, I enjoyed the different activities for teaching vocabulary. These were so edifying. Thanks Gaeti.

Today was another very exciting day at GAETI. In effect, we learned a lot of CRAAP in relation to critically evaluating fake news. I also enjoyed being able navigate the Ancestry.com web page. It was very exciting to be able to take a dive back in history and sort of reconnect with "lost" relatives. I can see myself planning a unit that will take full advantage of this. Though I am missing a piece of my art puzzle, my art project seems to be coming well. My Web design II class was a blast.

This was another fantastic day at GAETI. I was particularly moved by today's lessons; Introduction to Adobe spark and Web Design basics. I most definitely will be using these notes to deepen my knowledge and understanding in these areas and more so, to make my classes more interactive and hands on. I am actually thinking about how to incorporate these tools in some of my class projects. I know my students will enjoy these as well. I absolutely enjoyed this day as I look forward to more great days ahead.

Gaeti final meeting.

I cannot believe this rich experience is coming to an end. It has been great attending this training institute and it is amazing how each day has been full of rich, fun-filled, and exciting learning experiences. As they say, "all good things must come to an end." I sure will miss the friendly folks at GAETI 2014. I will miss all the wonderful presenters. I will miss the fun-filled atmosphere at GAETI. But I also know that the memories will live on for ever and most importantly, that the knowledge gained and the diverse experiences we all shared, are going to make a positive impact in our students' lives as we change minds and impact 21st century lives within an educational arena characterized by mass mobility, global competitiveness, and rapid technological advancements. Once again, thanks GAETI 2014 and thanks Dr. Pamela Bracey for giving me this great opportunity.

GAETI September 13th 2014

It has been another great day at GAETI 2014. I must say that despite the troubles I had getting here this morning, I am pleased that I was able to reunite with my peers once again to share knowledge, skills, and experiences for this first part of the school year. The stories were great, the experiences fantastic, challenges real, and the road ahead quite long but GAETI will make it smooth and much more interesting. Great day.
