Looking over the past eight weeks of this course in integrating technology across the content areas, I am proud of what I have accomplished. I chose one technology standard that focused on me and one that focused on the students. Focusing on myself, I decided to become a leader in technology integration within my classroom and those of others. Since it is the end of the school year, I did not accomplish as much towards this goal. I intend to revisit my GAME plan from day one of next school year and continue through the process: Monitor, Evaluate, Extend. For my students, I set a goal to develop technology enriched learning environments. Focusing on this standard has benefited my students. By adding elements of technology to my lessons, I have witnessed more interest and motivation in my students. I plan to institute many of the new technologies from this course into my lessons for next year.
By following a GAME plan, I have learned how to more clearly focus on improving my teaching with technology. I have become more systematic in setting goals and reaching them. An immediate change to my instructional practice is to teach the GAME plan process to my students. This is an approach to self-directed learning that will benefit them for their lifetime.
