Revising the GAME Plan

What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?

I have learned that Problem Based Learning is a great way to incorporate a lot of standards across the curriculum, while providing authentic learning experiences for the students. PBL does not have to take a long time, it can last a few days or as long as the school year.

What goals are you still working toward?
I am still working on incorporating the use of webquests in the classroom, however, I am shifting that more towards using PBL more in the classroom. Webquests are now just a part of the technology I want to incorporate into my lessons.

Based on the NETS-T, what new learning goals will you set for yourself?

My new goal is to Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student
learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
By utilzing PBL learning, and the use of social networking tools, I will be able to reach this goal.


What learning approaches will you try next time to improve your learning?
I am still learning how to use social networking in the classroom, and I am intrigued to learn more. However, the reality of the situation, my district will not allow this is the near future.
