Revising My GAME Plan

What I have learned so far that I can apply in my instructional practice is to be more flexible when it comes to incorporating technology with projects. I have to realize that yes it might be frustrating not having the tools and or time, but the end product is worth the effort. What the students get out of the learning experience is the most important part. With the use of the digital tools it enhances my students learning quite a bit. It makes learning meaningful and engages them. A goal that I want to still work towards is getting more collaboration amongst my students’ parents. I feel like this is the most frustrating goal to accomplish due to the fact I cannot control if homes have computers or internet at all. In the future perhaps with the help of the district and other corporations we could set up foundations or grants that will give unfortunate families the opportunity to have these services in their homes.

The NETS-T goal I would like to set for myself is to grow as a professional (5a). By taking my classes here at Walden University I feel like I have taken a small step in that direction. As my career continues I want to stay up to date with all that is happening in the world of educational technology. Our students live in a world of technology, so being able to harness it and use it in the classroom will be a great advantage. So I would say my goal here would to be more connected with the happenings in my field of technology.

I do not have new learning goals but the way I would extend what I have learned so far is to use it more and more. I feel as my level of confidence grows with something, the more eager I am to apply it to my practice.
