My GAME Plans focus
on two standards:
Standard 4a: Advocate, model, and teach safe,
legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright,
intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources(International
Society for Technology in Education, 2008).
Standard 2b: Develop technology-enriched learning
environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities
and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing
their own learning, and assessing their own progress (International Society for
Technology in Education, 2008).
As I move
forward in carrying out my plan, I must evaluate and assess what resources,
information and steps that I need to take.
In reviewing
my GAME plan for Standard 4a, I believe that the resources that I will need to
gather is articles and books about how to effective teach primary students
about safe and legal practices. I would also need to contact my school’s
computer teacher and set up a meeting to discuss possible support. Also, I plan
to also contact my school’s technology coordinator and ask for support and
resources.
For this
standard, I have started to begin researching through the school’s and my local
library for articles and other texts about technology practices for students.
This week, I plan to also contact colleagues to set up a meeting time before
school is out next week.
In reviewing
my GAME plan for Standard 2b, I believe that the resources that I will need
information about effective practices for developing technology lessons and assessment.
I, also, plan to contact my technology coordinator for suggestions of websites
of technology lessons and assessment.
As I move
forward with this plan for this standard, I have begun searching the internet
for resources that I can use in my classroom.
Last week, Ericka and Jeanine made suggestions of websites that I should
visit. I have bookmarked their suggestions so that I can review them. Also, I
have sent an email to the technology coordinator for suggestions and resources
that will support my growth.

Hi Trinecia,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are moving along with your GAME plan. I also did some research to find how to employ safe and ethical practices, here is what I found.

I hope that helps you out on your research. If your school technology coordinator is busy, you could maybe call your local library or police department. I know the police department has a "cyber technology" department that could come in and talk to students. That could be considered a in class field trip.
Have a great day!

Jenny,
DeleteThank you for the websites. This will really help me in my research process.
Also, I never thought about contacting the local police department. Thank you for that idea.
Hello Trinecia,
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading your post this week about the progress on your GAME plan. I think it is great that you plan on doing some of your own research before you start your GAME plan and that you also are scheduled to talk to some colleagues for extra support and ideas. Collaboration is key in our growth as professionals and it is great to see you recognize that. By reaching out to those specialists, you are opening the doors to new professional connections and opportunities. It will also make your GAME plan much more smooth and successful! I think it is wonderful that you are open to new ideas and that you are continuing to look at and bookmark websites that will help you in the classroom. Great post!

Taylor,
DeleteThank you for the feedback. I do value collaborations and connecting with others. I believe that connecting with others is key to finding out what works best for students and teachers.
