Week 8- Reflection

My GAME plan focused on the development of a digital ethics plan for my students and creating a way to find instructional ideas using technology. The first goal was difficult because of the large topic that it covers. The second goal is just a very large undertaking all-together. The main task for my GAME plan is that I have to keep up with all the changes that will effect a digital ethics plan and new technology that comes out.

I have learned to not take on so much at one time. I think that I will have to limit both how much time I can spend researching new technology and changes in digital ethics. I have begun to use Google Reader constantly to quickly scroll through updates on various technology blogs. As for the impact my GAME plan has had on my instructional practice, my students will be greatly pleased with the changes. In my class they come in excited because they don't know exactly what we are going to be doing when the technology comes into the room. Students also don't like to be gone on the those days. I think that my GAME plan has allowed me to focus on staying current and to look for ways to improve my teaching.

I am going to work to do less in book material and focus more on constant development of learning by my students. Textbooks tend to focus on beginning and end of learning. With my unit plan I created, the students rarely touched their textbooks, but still learned the same content and probably learned it in a way that lasts with them longer.
