Final GAME Plan Reflection

Overall, I am very happy with my GAME plan. It was very interested to see how the GAME plan had helped me throughout these few weeks. I also was excited to see my GAME plan in action. I brought some professional development opportunities to the staff development committee and they approved so I was able to give all staff a half-day to focus on building technology lessons. I am still in the process as I have two more groups to go! From the groups I have already worked with, I have only heard good things. One of the biggest things teachers struggle with is finding time. I have now given staff the time so they are hopefully that much more comfortable using the technology. This time has also helped me become a better teacher using technology because I am teaching teachers how to use it. I have created and built up my own collection of lessons that I am able to use. Not only have I used them in my homeroom class, but also I am able to use the technology with the after school program and with the students I tutor. My next piece of technology is bringing the wiki back. I started a wiki in the beginning of the school year and have not used it since. I have a science experiment where I want groups to collaborate on their findings. When the technology is prepared well ahead of time, it makes the class period go so much more smoothly.
