GAME plan progress

I think that my GAME plan is coming along quite well. I now have some great collaborative learning experiences planned for my students. They are really excited about the technology integration that I have done thus far, and are looking forward to more. I have continued my Internet research and have found some absolutely fantastic interactive sites that I can use for my upcoming units. I am also becoming more comfortable with actually using the technology that I want my students to use, such as blogs and podcasts. I have been meeting regularly with the digital arts teacher and she has been patiently explaining how our school programs can be used and allowing me to experiment with it all. I am also still conducting my research when I have time. I think it is important to continue this because there is so much available and you just never know what you may find!!

I have no problems finding the resources and information that I need to continue my GAME plan. If I do get stuck, I will have no problem asking my colleagues for a little help! I do not think that my Action plan needs any modification. I think it needs an addition. After learning about assessments this week, I think it is necessary to add in an action plan for assessment. I plan to try out all four types of assessments that we learned about this week, when the time is right. In addition to learning these new assessment formats, I found learning about the abundance of assisstive technology available what interesting. I want to look further into these technologies to see what may be beneficial for my students. I have not come up with any new questions that I have not already found the answer to through research, reading, or colleagues.
