Effective technology Integration (Artifact 2: Grant Writing)

 Artifact 2

Grant Writing

An assignment that I thought was practical was writing a grant. Teaching at a school that does not have much resources this is an essential aspect of teaching in my district. As I started researching I had no idea the amount of options for grants that are available. I also did not realize how detailed they would be to fill out. 

This assignment also helped me realize how expensive and overpriced certain apps are. I understand the amount of work that goes into creating these applications but some are just way overpriced. Even though some are overpriced I still think some applications are worth the price. I decided to write my grant on 2 applications the students can use at school and at home on their own time to practice. 

The most difficult part of the grant application was trying to not be over wordy. Most applications only allow 100 words per section. I had to be concise and to the point to prove I needed the apps. I never thought writing less was going to be that difficult but it turned out to be the hardest part. 

I look forward to applying to this grant and using it in the classroom.

Genius Hour-Expect Mutiny

This week has been a struggle to find time. We had family come from out of town and I found it very difficult to find time to practice. I had many hiccups this week actually. I decided to do a 7 day free trial on the guitar app I was using and accidently hit a 3 month subscription that cost $75. I am still waiting to see if Apple refunds me my money. Honestly, I would not mind if they do not because it is a very useful app to help me practice my guitar playing.  I also have decided to learn a new song Nirvanas-Come as you are. I found a free lesson on Youtube and that is what I have focused most of my time on. I have gotten pretty good at the first couple of notes but not very consistent. I hope to improve my consistency by next week.  I hope to have a video of me playing some of this song next week. Practice makes perfect.
