"GAME" plan on the move!
1. Are you finding the information and resources you need?
The information and resources needed for my game plan is being found with the help of resources. These resources come from my prior experience (school software programs) and from websites suggested from classmates (thank you).
2. Do you need to modify your action plan?
Thus far, I do not need to modify my action plan. My action plan was to have interactive websites for each subject and I was able to target the sites to my student´s needs. The only problem is I cannot set up the questions or lessons my students need since I do have students at the moment. Come september, I can match my students to certain skills using the websites I have found for each subject.
3. What have you learned so far?
I have learned, by interacting with teachers from around the country, that every school has their own perfered software program. In addtion, I have learned that everything we need is on the web. For example, before this GAME plan I had no idea that there was softwares to target skills in science.
4. What new questions have arisen?
My only questions now are, can I use software programs that my school does not use? Also, how can I convince the administration in my school to buy more software programs.

It sounds like you are on the right track. Are you going to try to use blogging or voice threads in the classroom? I came across a fabulous reference booklet for us. You can find the link on my blog to download and print it out. I couldn't believe it was all in one place. Hope you have time to check it out.
ReplyDeleteHi Veronica,
ReplyDeleteIn response to number 3, have you set up a professional learning network online yet? I am looking into Twitter to start following others who are teaching science. If you are interested in having access to a larger community of science teachers, create an account and I'll post my twitter account to my blog.
In response to number 4, if you run into difficulty in purchasing software for your classes, there are often freeware alternatives that can be found. Take some time to search around for either web based versions, or often times shareware or freeware programs exist that are as good or better than their paid counterparts. However, it is good to support educational software that is made specifically with teachers and students in mind.
Good Luck with the rest of your GAME plan!

Gini! That site is fantastic for any tool any teacher would like to use for their lessons! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI sure want to use a network to remain aware of the new rerources amd studies. However , I would first like to use edublogs to join blogs instead of twitter. I would love to know how twitter turns out for you and maybe I will join in the near future.
Thank you
Veronica
