Personal GAME Plan

After reviewing the National Educational Technology Standards, there are still quite a few standards that I need to become stronger in and grow as an educator. I try and incorporate as much technology as I feel my students can handle considering they are only in 2nd grade. I probably don't do as much as I should considering today's day and age and how it has become so technology based. I love using technology just as much as the students do, and the students seem to be more engaged when involved in different technology activities.

The main NETS-T standards that I want to get more comfortable and confident in are:
GOALS:

• Teachers promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
• Teachers design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

ACTION:

In order to achieve my goals I will conduct some research on different lesson plans that incorporate digital tools that the students can "play" with. I will also need to figure out what kind of digital tools and lessons fit in with our student curriculum.

MONITOR:

I will monitor my progress by reminding myself of the goals in which I have set for myself, as well as how engaged the students become while trying to succeed in trying to incorporate more technology and digital tools.

EVALUATE:

I will be able to evaluate my GAME plan when I attempt to incorporate my goals into the classroom. If my lessons go well and are a success, then I know I have mastered my goal. If the lesson doesn't not go well, I will know that I haven't mastered it and that I need to do a little more research and tweek the lesson in order for me to achieve success in my personal goal.
