Upon reflection of my GAME plan that I developed throughout this course I learned that it is important to be flexible. I began with a set of goals and and ended with a slightly different version. Part of the game plan involves Monitoring. As I put my goals into action, I found that small adjustments needed to be made along the way in order to meet the needs of my students and the outcomes we were working towards. Through conversations and readings I learned some valuable tools that helped me create my GAME plan and some very valuable lessons.
The learning that came about as a result of following my GAME plan was extensive. I found that by researching tools and how to implement them into my classroom I have developed a much broader understanding of how technology, specifically blogging and wikis, can play a role in the classroom. I have also learned the importance of setting goals to help me as a teacher stay focused on the final outcome and the standards I need to teach to my students.
When developing lessons in the future I plan to incorporate as many problem based lessons that I can. I found Problem Based Learning is an important part of getting students to become active participants in their own learning. I found this model to be a realistic way to incorporate academic standards, technology standards, and 21st Century standards all at the same time. When attempting to create lessons that incorporate all of these things, I will utilize the the GAME plan model. I also plan to teach my students to create goals and act on them using the same steps I used in creating my own GAME plan.
