Game Plan Review

In order to carry my GAME plan out, I will need some additional resources. In regards to my goal of creating promoting and modeling digital etiquette, I will need to find concise information about the rules and regulations of internet content. Ideally, I would like to find a video that outlines the topic and show it to my students, provided I could find an appropriate video. So far, the best I have come up with is this animated short:

My second goal is to produce a greater variety of assessments for my students. For some ideas, I looked at "Technology Integration for Meaningful Classroom Use" (Cennamo, Ross, and Ertmer, 2009). The authors describe many authentic assessments that I could possibly use in my classroom. Blogs, wikis, concept-mapping, discussion boards, and, WebQuests (p. 42) are just a few of the many suggestions that I could use in my classroom.

For both goals, it would be helpful to know what strategies are successful. If I can network with other educators, I could get a better idea of which strategies to try out.
