Where Is My GAME Plan Headed?

As I put my GAME plan into motion to become a leader within my school community, I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction of some colleagues. Last week our principal asked me to share anything that I was doing to integrate technology in the classroom, at a staff meeting. Though I was a bit nervous because of some the negative feelings that that exist within the school. During the week a few teachers have come to ask me how to incorporate a blog or wiki into their classroom. They where impressed with what I had done with my students. Another teacher who is also working on a masters in technology wants to collaborate on a project videotaping lesson to use as a resource for the staff. Some teachers in the first grader wanted to find out how they could use VoiceThread with their students. I am very excited about the idea of being a facilitator for the staff members that are willing to take the leap.

I don't see any need for modifications at this time, but I do have some new questions. I what to learn more. Something that I have added is how to use a Whiteboard. We have a 3 boards in our building, which are not being used to their potential. They are solely glorified marker boards. It makes me sad to see that happen.

The second part of my GAME plan has taken on the planning stage of activities that will be used after some of the high stakes testing that will take place in the next month. The pacing guides end before the end of the school year. A colleague and I have planned a collaborative project between our classes 2nd and 3rd grades.
I look forward to the challenges ahead.
