Assess & Imp Stud Ach w/Tech Intro Blog

 Hello everyone,

My name is Jose Garcia and I am currently a Spanish Teacher in district 204. I teach Spanish 3 and 4 honors at Waubonsie Valley high school and this will be my 15th year. I look forward to improving the use of technology throughought this summers. We have been pretty lucky at WV to provide all the students with a chromebook or as the students call it "chromie". 


I have used a wide array of applications, but mainly google. I would like to see what other options I may have that is not google related. I was forced to learn quickly how to create videos and other online video tools during the quarantine and hybrid model but feel like I just scratched the surface. I would like to see how I can develop my skills through these classes. 

As a long time soccer coach for WV it would be great to incorporate some technology into my training sessions. I have seen some creative ways to train online and would be interested in how someone can accomplish this. 

Finally, I enjoy being back in the classroom with the students and look forward to using the new technology applications I learn from this class.

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.
