Reviewing the GAME Plan

After reviewing my GAME plan, I am excited about the progress I have made in so little time. It has proven very successful in terms of me meeting my technological goals. It has truly proven to direct my “learning process, specifically while learning about technology and how to integrate it into the curriculum” (Cennamo, Ross, & Ertmer, 2009, p. 3). Even though I have not entirely completed my plans because it requires working with my colleagues during the next school year, I have definitely achieved many of the goals needed to get to the finish line.

I have acquired the ability to not only create goals, but have a clear plan to achieve my goals. I was impressed on how the GAME plan is very clear and precise, and best of all, easy to follow. I always set goals, but sometimes they get lost in what appears to be more important. The GAME plan has accountability, and that is what makes me successful in meeting my goals. By setting goals and meeting them, I will be able to become a better teacher by evaluating myself more thoroughly (Laureate, 2009). Furthermore, I will be able to create meaningful learning experiences for my students.

From my GAME plan, I have been able to participate in several virtual workshops to increase my knowledge of teaching with technology. Through these workshops, I have been able to develop new ideas and lessons for my students. For instance, one software program that I have learned to use is SMART’s Classroom Suite. This program enables me to bring my students’ learning to a higher level. I can virtually group students, create virtual webquests that are group specific, monitor student learning, create learning experiences for specific students or groups, and so forth. This software has the potential to completely transform my classroom, and I am excited about beginning the school year.
