I think Dr. Milton Chen from Edutopia showed alot of interesting sites. I especially liked the one video where students from all over sent blankets to Thailand. That was really incredible. I wrote majority of the sites that he recommended down, they all seemed really interesting and informative. I haven't had a chance to go on them yet because of finals this and next week but I definitely plan on it!
The "Genocide" session was pretty informative. Even though I'm definitely not a history person, it was a different way to spend the morning. I thought the conversations were really good and everyone shared their opinions and beliefs. I liked our "chicken" debate and whether or not it was a right to intervene on a farmers land. lol It was pretty cool to listen to everyone's opinions on why they felt the way they did and give their reasons. I wished we would have had more time to watch the Rwanda movie and discuss it a bit more. Overall, the session was 2 hrs. but it didn't feel like it at all. I have to say that it was a fun learning experience. On top of learning about technology in the classroom and hearing different speakers, I got a chance to talk to other professionals who were teachers and principals. I enjoyed conversing with them. It gave me a chance to ask questions and express my feelings and concerns about being a new teacher in the near future!
