Some resources I will need to carry out my GAME plan are access to new technologies, experts, and collegues. The access to new technologies will allow me to work with emerging technologies on a daily basis so that I feel comfortable with them and teaching them. Access to experts will give me the knowledge of how to work the emerging technologies so that I may learn how to use them much quicker and become more proficient. Access to my collegues will allow me to instruct them how to implement them in their classrooms so I can pass on my newly gained knowledge. The learning strategy I will use to carry out my GAME plan is using multiple media, providing multiple examples, and including activities with varied levels of difficulty. These strategies will help me learn how to use these technologies quicker and more comepelety and allow the teachers I work with to quickly improve their use of these technologies.
So far I have been able to research new technologies that are used in the classroom. Next I am hoping to find places to learn to use this new technology completely. Hopefully I will be able to quickly implement my GAME plan and get my school using the new technologies in all of our classes and improve our student learning.

Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteIncluding activities with varied levels of difficulty is an area that I struggle with. Although I have a very individualized/small group based instructional approach, I often find it difficult to "accommodate" varied levels of technology when doing assignments on our classroom laptops. If I am trying to get the students to create a Keynote presentation, I want all of them to be able to do it start to finish. However, many times this is not possible.

Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI like that you are actively seeking out resources and discussing them with your colleagues. So far, what type of resources have your found? Have you created any of your own things?
Good Luck with everything and I hope that you are able to use the new technology in your school to implement yoru findings and ideas.

People can be one of the best resources available. I cannot remember how many times I have "borrowed" ideas from or have been taught new things by other teachers. We must help each other reach our goals because we are all a means to the same end. I admire your drive to teach your colleagues new technologies and help them become more digitally literate.
