Evaluating the GAME Plan

GAME Plan

Facilitate and Inspire Student learning and Creativity

Indicator: engage students in exploring, real-world issues and solving authentic
problems using digital tools and resources
Indicator: promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness


How effective were your actions in helping you meet your goals?
What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
What do you still have to learn? What new questions have arisen?
How will you adjust your plan to fit your current needs?

Utilizing the GAME Plan has allowed me to grow, build confidence, as well as give my students a broader educational experience. My actions have been very effective because I am carrying out all of my actions. Through evaluation of my plan, I am able to see my progress. My main action was to make sure that I was knowledgeable of the standard. Knowing the standard has helped me when I am developing lessons that require students to work collaboratively and think innovatively. Understanding how the standard relates to my content area and state helps when I want to provide students with lessons that are engaging. Once I understood the connection, I am able to better facilitate and inspire students to get creative as they explore and solve real world issues and problems while using digital tools and resources. Thus far, I have learned that it is not difficult to integrate technology into the various content areas. I have learned that if I take the necessary steps and follow the GAME Plan, I can be very successful with implementation.

The one thing that I still have to learn is how to get more creative and more comfortable with my activities so that I will have a student centered classroom that fosters technology integration through the use of digital resources all the time. I plan to adjust my plan to fit my current needs by taking my standards and selecting technology standards that I can easily relate with and develop a GAME plan accordingly. My mission is to practice with the standards that I am most comfortable with first then begin to gradually implement the standards that I am not very comfortable with.

  1. Danielle,
    It is a great idea to start off slowly when trying anything new. Therefore, I think you will be successful this upcoming year integrating technology within your classroom in a meaningful and creative way since you are planning on starting off with the standards that you are familiar with. Good luck!
