GAME Plane Reflection Week 8

Looking back at my GAME plan and the goals that I set for myself, I am very satisfied with the final outcome. My 2 goals were to integrate creative lesson plans using technology and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. I have accomplished these goals with confidence and am very happy with the outcomes. Not only did I incorporate creative lessons using technology, but I also got to use my Unit Plan lessons that I created in Week 7 in my classroom to see if they worked.

Not only did I accomplish my GAME plan goals, but I learned so many more activities and ways to incorporate technology into the classroom. Technology is really a great tool when dealing with differentiated instruction. It gives so many different options and tools to students that have different learning abilities. One tool that I find to fit the needs of most students is Voice Thread. The students have options on how they do it. They can either record their information or they can type it. Depending on what kind of learner they are, they can choose which one best fits their need.

After taking this course, and becoming more familiar with the different technology programs and tools that are out there, I will make it a point to incorporate technology into every subject area. My students love learning different things on the computer. According to them they don't think the computer is actually learning. They think its play time. So as long as they are learning while "playing" then I am doing my job. Of course I will always monitor the students as they "learn and play". This course has really got me excited for more technology interaction.
