Day one has been pretty good. It was mostly introductions, getting to know the staff and other teachers. We did not get to do our MSU campus tour today due to rain, but that did give us extra time to get parking decals and have a longer lunch break. After lunch we went to the library and learned about the MAGNOLIA database. That was pretty neat to see the resources specific to teachers. I had used the database before as a student, so it was helpful to see it again through a teacher's viewpoint. One really cool thing we learned is that you can actually access old MSU yearbooks via this database! I can't wait to try to look up my parents yearbook later. Back in the IED building, we then looked at standards. I did not realized until now that I should be incorporating ISTE standards and ELA standards in addition to the Mississippi Foreign language standards. I enjoyed collaborating with the other Spanish teacher to come up with an activity to incorporate all three standards to the same activity. I found that very helpful as I learn a lot bouncing ideas with another foreign language teacher--which does not happen a lot unfortunately. We all shared our ideas with the group.
Cool websites I learned about today:
