Using the GAME Plan Process with Students

I have enjoyed using the GAME plan process. It has challenged me to set written goals, and evaluate how I am progressing to achieve them. I am a naturally self-directed goal setter; however, I do not usually approach this self-directed learning with much organization. The GAME plan made me more organized in my approach. I also used what I learned from my GAME plan in my classroom.

Using the GAME plan with students should be a similar process. Since my goal, from ISTE NETs-T was to learn more about technology, I will challenge my students to learn more about the technology around them using the NETs-T. I will challenge them to think about educational uses for the technology they use daily like their social networking pages, cell phones, and iPods. Getting them to look at technology with education in mind will enable them to put the existing technology to new uses, and help them develop their skills.

    What grade level do you teach? What are the dynamics of your school? Do most of your students have access to computers/technology at home?

Reaching and Engaging All Learners through Technology-Week 8 Reflection

I have enjoyed this class. I appreciate the practicality of the classes at Walden. I can use the material in my classes right away, if I choose. In this class, I was part of a NING, which allowed collaboration and sharing of resources. I appreciated my classmates input, and will continue to use those resources. I learned more of the teacher's responsibility in the classroom. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) are more than just "buzz words." In this class, I learned that they are a way of thinking about the material that I present, and how the students learn that material, and even how the students demonstrate their learning of the material I have presented. UDL allows all students access to the curriculum, standards, and objectives through a variety of materials and methods. DI challenges the teacher to learn her students and present the material in a way that he/she finds interesting and learns best. UDL and DI are not difficult...

More Adventures in Ed Tech with ESL learners

This coming Tuesday, February 5, 2014 is Digital Learning Day. You can check out the national activities  here . In order to join in the activities, my classes are going on an Internet treasure hunt. I used a free program for teachers by AT & T Knowledge Network Explorer called Filamentality . It was pretty easy to use to create the Web Treasure Hunt;  I just followed the simple instructions. My program director asked for a web quest on the topic of community parent resources, so I chose the closest hospital, pediatric dentist and pediatrician, DMV and food stamp programs. Then I asked basic questions that could be easily found on each website. The "web quest" format seemed a bit difficult for my ESL learners, so I used the more basic "Treasure Hunt." I hope they will be able to find the information easily. In case you are interested in trying this for yourself, here's the link Parent Resource Treasure Hunt Please leave a comment below if you d...
