GAME Plan Evaluation

GAME Plan Progress Evaluation

For my GAME plan to Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity I really have not had any progress since we are in the summer months and there is no school right now. However, I have found myself thinking of lessons that I use in class to change in order to have them use a class blog or wiki page. I have also talked to other teachers in my department and they seem very excited about using a wiki or blog in their classes as well.

For my GAME plan to Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership I think that I have done a great job getting a hold of my coworkers and discussing ideas with them on how we can use the wiki or blog page together in our classes. I have also set up an email database of the teachers in my department so instead of typing each email address out I can just click on “Geometry Teachers” and an email is sent to all Geometry teachers.

I’m very excited about my GAME plan and to see how it plays out this upcoming school year!

  1. Darcey, I applaud you for utilizing the summer months to rethink about you previous lessons and how you can change or adapt them to fit into your GAME Plan. It is nice to know that I am not the only teacher that does this. I also have been talking up technology this summer with teachers from my grade level and from grade levels above mine. I am actually hoping for some collaboration once the year begins and maybe even having the older students work with my students on basic computer skills. That would be such a valuable use of time.
    I have been thinking of setting up a wiki or a blog for my students, families, and colleagues to access. I think I will take this on on my own so that I can have it evolve as I evolve. I am still learning this but I know that the other teachers on my team are leary and apprehensive. So by doing it on my own will mean more work for me but it won't mean that I am doing their work, too, since it might be time consuming in the beginning stages. Your idea of linking the geometry teachers to email is a great idea. I just might have to do something like that myself.
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
