Reflecting on My GAME Plan

I am making great strides with my GAME plan. I am very confident that I will be able to successfully use the ideas I have learned at Walden as long as I stick to my GAME plan. I also realize that my plan will constantly be changing as new ideas and technologies come about. Just because this course is ending, does not mean that my GAME plan is done. I will follow through with the timelines that I have set for myself. I will also review my plan weekly and make adjustments as necessary.

I have learned that following a structure like the GAME plan is very beneficial for my students. To say you are going to do something and actually making a plan to follow through are two different things. I realize the importance of a organized effort to create real learning experiences for my students using technology.

Immediately, I will make sure that technology is used on a weekly basis in my classroom. Daily, I already use an interactive whiteboard, graphing calculators and the internet. However, I am speaking of the new advances that I have recently learned while at Walden. Each week there will be at least one type of cooperative collaboration by means of technology in my classroom. I want my students to leave my classroom not only knowing their math but also feeling confident about their future in a technological world.
