Revising the GAME plan

This week I have been asked to review the NETS-T and evaluate my progress in my GAME plan.

Question 1: What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
I have learned the value of collaboration with colleagues, and the importance of asking questions when you are not sure about the answer. For example, I have never worked with another teacher from a different content area on the same lesson plan. If I had not developed this GAME plan I am not sure when, if ever, this would have happened. However, now we are preparing to team teach a unit together in the fall of next year, which I can apply to my instructional practices.

Question 2: What goals are you still working towards?
I am still preparing for my workshops in the future that will help me grow my understanding of technology in the classroom. In addition, I am preparing to present with my alma mater at our Ohio Physical Education state conference.

Question 3: Based on the NETS-T, what new learning goals will you set for yourself?
The next learning goal I would like to set is NETS-T standard 1. c.- promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. The reason I am choosing this goal, is because I am planning a few different lessons next school year that will have the students blogging about their learning in Physical Education class.

Question 4: What learning approaches will you try next to improve your learning?
I feel a great way to learn new ideas and strategies with technology is to collaborate with people who are already utilizing these great resources. For example, I was at a P.E. curriculum meeting yesterday and we spent over an hour sharing different ways we are incorporating technology into our class. I gained so many great ideas that I plan on using next school year.
