Week 2: Game plan

I have outlined my “GAME” plan for two indicators in NETS-T:

Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

G: Goal will be to teach students how use the internet to take virtual field trips to use this tool effectively.

A: I will select at one virtual field trip selected for a Thanksgiving unit. Students will navigate independently through the website. Students will have a list of questions to answer as they navigate this website.

M: I will monitor this goal by interacting with the students and assisting them in the navigation process of the website.

E: I will evaluate this activity based on the questions the students were given to answer. I will also evaluate the activity based on student responses as well.

Model Digital-Age Work and Learning

G: Goal will be to communicate information and ideas to students, parents, and peers using email, classroom website, and classroom blogs.

A: I will use the classroom website as correspondence with parents and add a blog to the website as well for student publications. I will also set up parental email at the beginning of the year to be able to do mass emails as well as correspond individually with parents.

M: I will monitor my game plan based on the number of visitors on the website, and by reviewing the correspondence with parents. I will also monitor it based on the blog correspondence as well.

E: I will evaluate the information logged on the classroom website to see if it is beneficial to parents and students. I will ask colleagues to review the website for easy access and opinions as well.
