Evaluating GAME Plan Progress

My methods of gathering information have been effective up until this point of carrying out my GAME plan. The course textbook has been extremely helpful in finding new methods of integrating technology. Searching the internet for successful lessons was also a great way to find new ideas. These actions were helpful in meeting the goals that I set. I have learned many new ways to integrate technology into my assessments. This has also helped me to create more variety in my assessments and give students options of ways to demonstrate their knowledge.

In terms of creating variety in my assessments, I feel I have achieved my goal. I still have more to learn in the area of digital citizenship. I did not realize how broad the topic was when I began learning about it. I hope to narrow my research more to help give my students a concise understanding of digital etiquette. I am changing my GAME plan so that I can more effectively collaborate with other teachers. Blogs like this one have provided me some information and things to think about. I have had some contact with other professionals (via blogs and comments), but my GAME plan would benefit from more personal connections. I hope to connect with some other teachers at my school and share my ideas about the topic of digital etiquette with them.
