A GAME plan will not only help my studnets meet the standards but will also me to meet my professional goals. One you get use to the idea, I believe creating a GAME plan comes much easier. It has been extremely helpful for me because I have massive quanities of ideas on how to use technology but this course work has showen me how to intergrate meaningful technology skills.
One of the most important aspects I’ve learned from this course is to begin every idea with a GAME plan. This is a solid approach to keeping me and students on track. Many of the new strategies we learned will promote all the students, whether they are critical thinker, analytical thinkers or slower thinkers.
I have made it a persoanl goal this year to meet two of NETS-T per content change. I have three changes in one year. Social networking and online colboration is a powerful tool for all students,

Using GAME Process with Students - Week 7
The NETS – T and the NETS – S have some common language. What I would like to do is show my students the NETS for teachers and then for students. I would like to have them pick one or two Nets and have them create a game plan on how they might meet these goals.
My classes are only a quarter long so what I would like to do is having each student picking out one goal. Then I would like to have them list two actions statements as to how they are going to achieve that goal. For evaluation, I would like to have them keep a weekly journal or if they are comfortable using a blog. However a posting must be created weekly. At the end of the quarter, I’d like to have one on one discussion to evaluate if we both felt the student met their goal.
For the amount of time I have these students this will be enough for them to keep track of. Once schedule change to a full blown year, I would probably follow the same logic but add two or three more goals.
I believe middle school students should be setting goals for themselves. The simple logic of creating a GAME plan can be carried over to their personal lives also.

REVISING MY GAME PLAN - WEEK 6
I have learned so far, that I can apply a few different ideas in my instructional practice. Inspiration software is rather quite simple; it’s a digital way of putting your thoughts on paper. I’ve learned that now that I have spent some time with the software it is not as intimidating to me and I hope to set a good example for other teachers as well as my student. Through the last two weeks of resources I have some generic ideas of where to go for good questions, but I need to analyze a final product for them. Sure the software is easy but I really want it to make a difference for them so that they will remember it.
My game plan contains two goals, so I need to excel in is integrating technology in every lesson. I teach computers’ so access is not a problem, so every lesson should revolve around a new technology skill. I would really love to come up with an idea, where students could keep a blog all quarter long, kind of like we are doing for this class. I have document ideas in my own journal and I continue to look on the internet for ideas.
I will continue to work On NETS-T 2, promoting student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify student’s conceptual understanding, thinking, planning and creative processes. I have all revamped two of my beginning lessons for the New Year.
As this point in my game plan, I am not read to set new learning goals. I plan on setting aside half of my planning period to take the time to find new and fresh ideas on the internet and to analyze what lessons I will implement new technology with because it adds something, not because I’m trying to mark a goal off.
The next time I learn something new, it should be a little easier. I will create a brief game plan with small steps to accomplish learning something new. This would be a great way to use the Inspiration software that I want my students to use. Also, I would refer to the many new online resources I’ve learned about and most importantly to relax and enjoy the ride of learning something new. Once I’m familiar with a new skill, being able to share it also reinforces what I’ve learned and makes me a more confident teacher.
