GAME Plan Progress
Instructional Practices
What is really nice about taking courses together in a semester is how well they blend together. In each class we are learning about Universal Design for Learning, which I feel really coincides with differentiated instruction. I am learning a variety of ways to use technology to incorporate these practices into the classroom. What is really nice about technology is the fact that most students can play with technology and get it. What I need to do is make the content have the same accessibility. I am learning throughout this course and my other course ways to do that.
New Learning Goals
My new goals is convince my school technology department to unlock the protection against some of our social networking sites so that students can have access to a diverse learning community.
Learning Approaches
At this point in the semester the only approach I would do differently is to complete my work a week ahead of time.

ReplyDeleteHave you decided how you will approach the technology department? In our district, it is the school board that determines what is locked. I am working on a proposal for the school board over the summer to allow students to use wikis and blogs. What social networking sites are you going to request access to?
I admire your goal of being a week ahead with your work. This class especially makes that difficult with the blog and wiki assignments. I am trying to keep my head above water regarding assignments right now myself. I just finished throwing a grad party for my daughter Sunday. To say that I am a little behind (obviously I am posting this to you on Monday instead of Sunday) would be an understatement. It definately less stressful to be ahead than behind. Good luck with that goal.
