I plan to implement some of the ice-breaker activities I learned at NCCAT in\u00a0my\u00a0classroom during the first week of school. I also want to utilize more data analysis within my classroom to improve instruction. I have already started using Trello to keep track of tasks for my wearable devices fellowship, and I will introduce this application to students in the beginning of the year to keep track of project responsibilities and assignments. I will continue to blog with my students, after learning fresh and exciting techniques this week . I will \u00a0make my social media presence more visible by utilizing Twitter and YouTube more often. \u00a0I enjoyed all of the sessions I attended at NCCAT. If I have to choose a session that was my least favorite it would be &#8220;Why Culture Matters&#8221;, I enjoyed Mrs. Brossy&#8217;s personal stories. However; I thought the session was going to be focused on methods and techniques for culturally responsive teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to other PD opportunities I have had the opportunity to attend I have \u00a0enjoyed NCCAT the most. I had plenty of opportunities to learn from, network, and build relationships with other educators. \u00a0I enjoyed the whitewater rafting the most, that was something I have\u00a0been wanting to do for a while. I really enjoyed the flipped classroom session during Edcamp Kenan. I gained so much useful information. I plan to partially flip my fashion merchandising courses this upcoming year. \u00a0I also gained useful techniques during the Edcamp&#8217;s PBL making it work session. I feel more comfortable implementing project based learning in my courses having gained useful and relevant insight on the process. Overall NCCAT has been a great experience for me, I&#8217;m glad I had the opportunity to participate in this professional advancement Institute<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/old.kenanfellows.org\/2017-tjeffery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/264\/2016\/06\/rafting-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"rafting\" width=\"530\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.kenanfellows.org\/2017-tjeffery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/264\/2016\/06\/rafting-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.kenanfellows.org\/2017-tjeffery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/264\/2016\/06\/rafting-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.kenanfellows.org\/2017-tjeffery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/264\/2016\/06\/rafting-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll start off by saying I really enjoy visiting North Carolina&#8217;s Mountains, so I was happy to be in Cullowhee, NC \u00a0for a week.
