YETC is the place for me!!

I haven't been to the YETC since my freshman year and I'm really glad that I had the opportunity to go back and visit again. Nathan is amazing and is so helpful. What makes it so great is he is so excited about his job that it is so easy to go to him and ask for help. He showed us so many great tools and resources that we will be able to use while we are preparing to become teachers. He showed us many websites that I know I will use in the future. One of them was a spelling website that had the teacher type in spelling words that they wanted their students to be tested on and then it would give them a test. It would also give them different options of games to play that would help them study and prepare for the test. Nathan also showed us their video library and also told us that they have many Bill Nye, Magic School Bus, and Reading Rainbow episodes. I'm really excited to work with Nathan in the future and to use the endless resources provided by the YETC!!

  1. seems a lot of the students who want to teach first grade really love the literacy sites. Is that what you want to teach also?

  2. I thought that the video library was very cool as well. You could get a video for any subject at any grade level just right there on the computer with out paying for it. Such a great option.
