GAME Plan Begun!

I have begun my GAME plan. I emailed my school district technology committee to ask if I can be on the committee. They were excited and signed me up. Our first meeting is March 22. It should be interesting since I am only beginning to understand technology terms. I am hoping being on the committee will help build my confidence in order for me to teach a mini-lesson to my colleagues using technology. I talked with my GT teacher; she also is on the technology committee. There are about 15 members from the school district. The GT teacher informed me she was trying to find a grant to get iPhones for the students. She gave me reasons why she wants the iPhones. For instance, the students can use the internet on the iPhones without having extra charge for internet use at the school. They are cheaper than a laptop and more convenient to use outdoors. She gave me an idea to find a grant to get iPhones for my students. It would be an awesome, cheap way for the students to use the internet on a daily basis and that is what I want for my students, access to the internet daily. I am looking at grants right now. I also found an interactive PowerPoint that will be of assistance for my students to study Holocaust vocabulary words. I am putting that together this week. I still need to discuss with my GT teacher some of the tech software she has used with her students that she feels benefited her students.

I feel I have made gains and still making gains on my GAME plan. I will be and am adventuring into areas of the unknown, which is exciting and liberating. Lucius Ammaeus Seneca, “The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.”
