GAME Plan Reflection

As I look back and think about the progress I made on my GAME plan throughout this class, I am amazed at how easy (yet time consuming) the process is. I developed a plan where I set goals to incorporate a bigger variety of activities into my lessons to incorporate students' learning styles and also to network with other teachers to share ideas that incorporate technology in the classroom. Although my progress seemed to be stalled at first because I was not sure what direction to move in (due to the lack of a full time teaching job) I finally decided to modify my plan and find general resources for students of all ages. I also was able to begin communication with teachers in my area who were interested in sharing ideas that they had for technology within a community of teachers.

One thing that I learned in this process is that other teachers are the key to finding good resources. Also, knowing how to search for reliable and worthwhile resources is also very important because otherwise a lot of time will be wasted looking for resources. I also learned that the GAME plan process can be very beneficial to use in the classroom and not just for teachers, but for the students as well. It gives the students a pathway for setting and completing goals that is easy to follow. I will definitely be using this process with future students!

I am going to continue working on my goals until I have a classroom where I can apply what I have learned and what I have found through this process.
