Continuation of My GAME Plan

Sorry this is late..Baby Brain struck and I didn't post in time!!!!

This week I am reviewing my GAME plan. It is something I will do repeatedly over the next few weeks in this class and I look forward to bettering my self in the process.

In order to carry out my plan, I will need several things. The first of these is the support of the staff and administration at my school. Nothing can be done if help from these two sources cannot be received. I need people who are open minded and willing to accept the challenges that face us with technology. I hope to be able to find these colleagues and have already received a lot of support from my administration.

The additional information that I will need in order to complete my plan is about our community relations at a school and county level. I need to find out who our community partners are and who I can go to for help. I also need to find out the best ways to present and share my material and lessons with the community. To do this, like I said in the plan, I will need to sit with my administration and discuss my options.

So far, I do not feel that I have been able to take many steps in reaching my goal. One thing I did do was talk to my principal about technology in lessons and how I believed that students should think outside the box. She was so happy about this that she came to observe my students and I one day in the lab and brought a state representative with her. This was a HUGE step for me, as along with him came the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a large paper in Atlanta, and a photographer. Perhaps with this "press", my ideas will seem more valid and be more widely accepted by the people I teach and work with.
