We started the day in the lab where we learned about Canvas. This is invaluable to me because I will be using Canvas this year, rather than Schoology. I am hoping to have time to set up my courses before going back to school this fall. My Canvas has GAETI 2015 and GAETI 2017 plus my Spanish and French courses.
A lady from the library came and talked to us about Copyrights and Fair Use laws. This is something to consider, especially if a teacher uses music, printed materials, or images and publishes them or tries to make money (Teachers Pay Teachers). It is best to avoid using borrowed material unless it is only used face to face for educational purposes.
Now we have the option of creating a story in tiles. This sounds really exciting to me. Both Spain and Mexico use tiles extensively in their buildings. This could be a great 'cultural' connection to display in my classroom if I choose good designs.
Back in the lab - we submitted an audio introduction to Canvas. Then, my partner and I began working on our Webquest - Sports in Spanish-speaking countries. We ended the day with work on our Weebly websites.
At this point - I have many things started. I hope to finish them all. Truthfully, I will not be able to finish with my usual attention to detail because that is too time-consuming. If I don't really use my website with my classes - I can transfer the ideas to Canvas. I'm sure I will use Canvas!
Hasta mañana.
