Course Reflection

This course, along with the GAME plan I have developed for it has helped me in many ways. Because of my GAME plan, I am able to see what I need to do to reach my ultimate goal. My students need a lot of help to reach use all of the technology available to them. Our school does not always provide students with the best technology available so it is up to me to find this and make the students aware that it is available. Training is lacking at my school, but through this class I have learned so much. Students can relate everyday ideas to the lessons we need to teach and create connections through the use of technology. The lessons I have created for this class have been a launching pad for the great ideas I have floating around in my head. Students can do so much and create so much through the use of technology.
The second part of my GAME plan called for me to work more with global communities. This idea was foreign for me. Other then Walden, I have never worked in a online global community. I know now that this idea is priceless in the education of our students. By working with others from all around the country or world, I am able to learn in ways I would have never been able to learn before. Different people have so many different things to offer and through online communities, I am able to see this.
This class and the GAME plan has really gotten me thinking over the past 8 weeks. I look forward to taking much of what I have learned and putting into play in my classroom. This has been a wonderful experience and I have really enjoyed all I have learned.
