To carry out my GAME Plan, I will need to subscribe to several digital resources such as:
Reading and listening to these resources will keep me current on technology trends in education. Then, I can find ways to include or exclude those technological trends in my curriculum. I can consult with the Instructional Technology Specialist at my school to gain suggestions or fine-tune activities. I can get ideas from other students in my Walden class. I may need additional information, but the Walden Library, as well as Google, can provide more resources, if I need them.
In carrying out my GAME Plan, I subscribed and listened to The Teacher's Podcast. I also subscribed to Cool Cat Teacher's Blog. I plan to spend a few minutes (10-15) every week to keep up with new ideas in the educational uses of technology. I have spent some time reading educational technology articles such as "Ten Ways To Get Beyond Powerpoint With Classroom Projectors" (Ten Ways, 2009). I plan to use some of the ideas in the Power Point article in my computer classes.

Hi Donna-
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you found some great resources to begin carrying out your GAME plan. Teacher podcast and blog sites are good to subscribe to because they are always being updated. Both podcasts and blogs would let you connect with other teachers to share experiences.
Here are some links I found:

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be on your way with your GAME plan. I also use the tech learning site to keep up to date with technology use in the classroom. I look forward to seeing how the plan works out.
