As I reflect on the past eight weeks of this course, I have noticed some changes in my classroom. Firstly, my students have started the process of making their own GAME plan goals for the trimester and are responding well to following those goals. I had the students make goals for academic, behavioral, and technology goals. I overheard a student checking her goals with a friend during morning warm-up the other day. It will be interesting to see if the enthusiasm continues through the trimester until March. We will check back with them often and 'remind' ourselves of what we are shooting for.
The second area that I notice a change is the new integrating tools that I have found over the course of this class. I am excited to 'play' with digital story telling and bring it into the current curriculum as a way of allowing students to process their learning and present it to others. The way of thinking when I stand a the front of my room has also changed, as I ask myself, "Who is collecting and presenting the information, me or the students?"
Time will tell how these new tools will work for me and my students. I am guessing that they will enhance my teaching and my students learning!
