Post your thoughts and ideas about how you will use the GAME plan process with your students to help them develop proficiency in the technology standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S. Reach out to your colleagues in this learning community for assistance if needed.
I think the GAME plan process could be very useful in my language arts classroom. It's always a good idea to make sure students are aware of the standards connected to any lesson so they know their goal for each day. Students often think they know a lot about technology and what it can do for them; however, we know, as teachers, that this is not always the case. Because of this, I would definitely show students the NETS-S standards, so they know what their goals are for using any type of technology in the classroom. I would like for my students to choose a standard where they would like to focus for the year. They could use the GAME plan process much like we did in the class, but of course, over a longer period of time. Students would reflect on what they have learned, how they have learned it, and how they could approach their goals in the future based on their goals for that particular time period.
I think this would be very beneficial for any student. It is not only a lesson for class, but a life lesson that can help them reach goals and/or revise any approach to goals.

ReplyDeleteI like your idea to show the students the NETS-S standards. Like you said, I do not think a lot of my students understand how important technology is for the future and how they need to use if for more than just entertainment. I want my students to know the learning goals for each day, and it makes sense to show them the standards for technology as well.
Bethanne,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to show the students the standards. I agree that having them complete a GAME plan much like we did would probably be most beneficial. You are very right that they think they know a lot about technology, but it really isn't the case. They know a lot about social media, when it comes down to the meat and potatoes of technology, they have a lot to learn.

Getting the students involved in this is key. You are right, it will take longer than what we had here, but what an excellent opportunity for our students. Set goals, reach goals, celebrate success!
