Integrating Technology Across the Content Areas - Week 8- Final Blog Post

     I have enjoyed using GAME plan. It is now time to set different goals. My initial fear of FaceBook has calmed down and I have enjoyed the two groups I have become a member of. I like the way the plan has worked for me and plan on implementing the use of GAME with my students. It gives teachers and students an easy way to expand knowledge and learning in a manageable way. Part of my Game plan was student Blogs. It has worked well. Although other teachers have implemented Blogs they have not produced good open end questions and do not interact with the students on them. Hopefully this modeling situation will benefit everyone.

     I liked the templates we used for lessons. The plans are something that can be easily picked up and used. It was a simple way to plot out what students were to do and a timeline to help everyone understand when and how progress is to be made. Some of the ideas that this course provided were E-Pals which my students will begin using in March, variety in media presentations, and more thoughts on Problem-Based learning.
     I will continue to integrate more technology in to my courses. While some courses easily lend themselves to technology, others require more work. My students need access to and to learn to use as many forms of technology and I can provide. It is hard to say what the future will be like for my students so I want them to have as much hands on experience as possible. This was a very enjoyable and well taught class.
