My GAME plan is going according to how I expected it to go. I have recently ended a SMART board workshop in my local school that has taught me new ways to use the tools with this form of technology. I am able to implement the board more into my lessons for instruction. I have also met with my grade level in order to discuss different ideas that could be used in order to help with using technology in lessons. My colleagues were able to provide different websites as well as web templates that allowed for students to conduct certain tasks for informal assessments as well as formal assessments.
This week I have planned to meet with other colleagues from the county in order to discuss ways of using technology in the classroom for instruction as well as assessment. Many of the colleagues have incorporated the technology into their lessons or are interested in how to do such plans with limited use of technology. I have began a journal reflecting my daily usage of the technology in my classroom with lessons and assessing the students. I have noted that many times, the technology presents a problem which creates a stumbling block for instruction. Overall, I am pleased with the knowledge that I am acquiring from entering the workshops suggested and collaborating with my colleagues.
I have also signed up to meet with a team of colleagues that will assist with making blog pages as well as classroom websites to assist students out of the classroom. I am excited about the new classes and suggestions that I am already beginning to try to implement with small groups within the classroom. I ensure that the technology usage is presenting ways for me to monitor the progress of my students so that we may set ideal goals for achievement in the classroom.
