The two NETS standards that I feel less confident about are “model digital age work and learning”, and “engage in professional growth and leadership.” To become more confident in these two standards I have developed a GAME plan. First I set goals to become more familiar with new technologies and to become more involved in sharing information about new technologies with other teachers. The second part of my GAME is to attend professional learning conferences and events that inform teachers on new technologies and how to implement them in the classroom. I also will set up opportunities at my school to inform other teachers about this new technology and show them how to use it in class. I will monitor my progress by making sure that I am proficient in new technologies and using them in my classroom on a daily basis. Also, I must have many different times when I can teach about the new technologies I have learned. I will evaluate and extend my learning by talking with other teachers who use these technologies and are responsible for teaching others about them. This should prove helpful in me meeting my goals with the NETS for teachers.

Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI like that you want to share ideas with other teachers about technology. Is there any specific lesson or tool that your feel has really benefited your students that would help your colleagues? At first I was hesitant to share ideas because I felt I was "copying" someone plans, now I know that collaboration between teachers really enhances students' learning.
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteThe idea of sharing your learning with your colleagues at school is very important. If we are to work with other teachers as a team it is vital that we collaborate and share information with each other. All teachers in a school should be working toward the same goals and should communicate frequently.
