Cennamo, Ross, and Ertmer's GAME plan has been a valuable resource that has helped me become more reflective about the way I teach. As I have discussed in previous blog postings, the GAME plan asks teachers to set Goals, create an Action plan, Monitor progress and Evaluate the plan. This four step process makes me think about a problem that I am facing and helps me work through the problem. The impact of this plan on my teaching will be significant. I have never worked through a problem by actually writing the steps down. I usually think about a problem and set goals in my mind as to the best way to tackle the goal. The GAME plan allows me to write the process down.
One immediate adjustment that I have made to my instruction as a result of this course is to use digital storytelling in my classroom. Digital storytelling is a great way for students to express their learning. Having students create digital stories creates a more authentic learning experience that is more personal to the student. This is a student-centered approach to education. My Principal has challenged me to be more student-centered and this is just one more tool that I have at my disposal. I am excited to use this technology in my classroom.
