Carrying out Game Plan

Resources needed:

• the use of the internet sources to find articles to promote digital tools in the classroom
• technology personnel to discuss what is available at the school beyond what I already know
• colleagues willing to co-plan and implement the materials in the classroom
• trainings

Additional Information Needed

• the willingness of the other teachers in the building to incoporate technology
• what types of permissions I need to download different types of technology

Steps taken so far

GAME plan:

Goals to strengthen confidence

• In the area of promoting and modeling citizenship and responsibility I would like strengthen my skills in meeting the needs of all learners in the classroom. More specifically, I would like to increase my confidence in providing students with equal opportunities to use digital tools and resources.
  
• The second area I would like to strengthen my skills in the classroom deals with collaborating with parents, peers, and students to use the digital tools and resources to support student thinking and learning.

Actions to achieve those goals

1. Locate a variety of resources: examples include articles, conferences, search engines, information technology resources in the building.
2. Ask parents to help and become educated on the resources available
3. Provide students with opportunities to share resources they have found.
4. Ask other teachers for help.
5. Search, search, search

Monitoring Progress

• Keep a journal of the resources found whether through searches, colleagues, parents, or students
• Ask for student and parent input

Evaluate and Extend your learning

• Reflections of the technologies used and how effective they were
• Parent and student input
• Attend workshops that introduce and teach about new resources
• Stay connected with teachers that use technology and share resources
