Week 4 Blog Post

Week 4 Blog post: Description of progress toward goals of GAME plan:


Resources:
 I have been able to find virtual field trips online, and also colleagues from the class have shared as well. I want to send out a mass email at work and ask others as well if they use these and how they worked. I would like to get more feedback from others about good and bad virtual fieldtrips, what works well, and what does not.

Modify Action Plan:
I must modify the goal of students using email. This is not an option in our school. I have the classroom website set, but still need to meet with the technology director on how to effectively set up a blog on the website, he is a busy person and I want to set it up to be the most effective and quick blog to check. I want the ability to read comments prior to them posting on the classroom website.

Learning:
I am learning to be patient. I need to set a timeframe to have certain items complete. This will allow me more freedom to research more on a certain area, instead of trying to do it all at once.

New Questions:

To my colleagues, do you have any virtual field trips that have worked and found successful. Which ones didn’t work as well? Did you do any assessment when you did the virtual websites? If you can post the website, that would help me create a library of virtual fieldtrips. Thank you!
