9/24/2018 0 Comments Check Out Your OptionsBefore you complete any college admission applications, go on a few tours. See not only what the school has to offer but get a sense of what life is like on the campus. Breathe in the air, taste the food and find out what it's like to travel from home to the school and back.
To help my God-daughter to get a feel for different colleges, I took her and two more of my nieces out to see Temple University in Philadelphia, PA., Penn State University, and University of Maryland College Park in 3 back-to-back day trips. After hours on the road, tolls, a lot of walking, and Philly cheesesteaks from Max's Steaks (bring cash), there were two votes for Temple and one for College Park. Note to all those applying to schools: Undergraduate school is as good as it gets. Enjoy the process!

I Am Because We Are Creative Equals...My youngest brother, Aaron, took these pictures on April 28, 2017. Aaron and my dad attended my very first presentation during the American Educational Research Association 2017 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX. I presented "I Am Because We Are Creative Equals: Technology Skills as Defined, Discussed, and Demonstrated by Students in a Middle School" during the Online Teaching & Learning Special Interest Group (SIG) paper session on "Promoting Student Success."
I was also glad to have my sister-classmates from Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, one research partner, and two professors in the audience. They not only supported me by being present, but they also encouraged me by asking questions. I ran out of presentation time before I could share everything, so their questions helped me share out what I did not get a chance to say during my presentation. Thanks, good people! Lesson learned: NO MORE THAN 10 SLIDES for any presentation. En Español Mi hermano menor, Aaron, tomó estas fotos el 28 de abril de 2017. Aaron y papá asistieron a mi primera presentación en la Reunión Anual 2017 de la Asociación de Investigación Educativa Americana en San Antonio, TX. Presenté 'Soy Porque Somos Iguales Creativos: Habilidades Tecnológicas Definidas, Discutidas y Demostradas por Estudiantes en una Escuela Secundaria' durante la sesión de papel del Grupo de Interés Especial (SIG) de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje en Línea sobre 'Promoción del Éxito Estudiantil'. También me alegró tener a mis compañeras de clase de la Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, una compañera de investigación y dos profesores en la audiencia. No solo me apoyaron estando presentes, sino que también me alentaron haciendo preguntas. Me quedé sin tiempo de presentación antes de poder compartir todo, así que sus preguntas me ayudaron a comunicar lo que no tuve la oportunidad de decir durante mi presentación. ¡Gracias, buena gente! Lección aprendida: NO MÁS DE 10 DIAPÓSITIVAS para cualquier presentación. |
