The GAME Plan so far...

• Are you finding the information and resources you need?
• Yes, I am reading a lot of technology blogs and I've met with my colleagues to discuss how my goals can help us as a team. I've also had the chance to observe my students to see how using virtual environments would benefit them. I've also gotten clarification on the policies for communication via the internet to allow me to move forward.
• Do you need to modify your action plan?
• I think I need to add developing specific assessments that target the areas that I am trying to enrich through my goal to see if the plan is working.
• What have you learned so far?
• Technology is very exciting to teachers and students. VoiceThread seems to be a great way to communicate as a whole class, and the kids liked looking at other people's VoiceThreads. However, it is hard to prepare appropriately, because the teacher should screen everything that the kids will see and participate in.
• What new questions have arisen?
• What is the best way to assess whether or not these new tools have helped my students?
• Is there a better network out there for specifically young children and teachers?
