Putting the GAME Plan in Motion

As with any plan, be it a lesson plan or a game plan for a basketball game, it has to be put into effect and information must be gathered, such as the strengths and weaknesses of the students/players and opponents. Looking at my GAME plan I see a need to learn the reasons or concerns that my colleagues have about integrating technology in the classroom.  To accomplish my 2nd goal I need to model the process of learning through investigation. I want to also create a survey to find out some of my students' interests that will guide them through their own learning.

To learn how to become a leader within my school community an to help my students pursue their own curiosities and become active participants, I will read blogs of people such as Will Richardson an expert in the education technology field, as well as websites such as Technology & Learning and eSchool News. I will look for examples of technology integration that works such as those found on the Edutopia website. For my colleagues, I can then create resources that they can use to learn. I can create a blog with FAQs to help them along. I can also share the resources and links to tutorials that are on my delicious account. That is something that I have already begun organizing to make it easier for my colleagues to search through. Another idea that I have to create Screencasts that will help colleagues with tasks they may be intimidated by.

With this in mind I take the next few steps towards reaching my newly set goals.
