Taking a GAMEplan and Putting it to Work...

In recapping my GAME plan from Week 1, my thoughts of utilizing technology extensively in my teaching career is what my GAME plan is primarily focused on. In doing so, I hope to involve students in the community atmosphere of utilizing technology because both of these skills and goals are what I hope to get out of my students down the road. A few things that I have done over the last few weeks have been the following:

• Confering with my colleagues within my department and with the tecnology department as to how I can further involve technology in my teaching.
• Something new that our schools district has employed this year has been the shortening of class periods every Wednesday so that 2:00-2:30 pm is reserved for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). This has been a huge help in getting familiar with the teaching styles, material and such with teachers across all disciplines. 
• I have taken a look at a few technology courses/in-service opportunities in the spring in hopes of furthering my knowledge of technology utilization in the classroom.
