International (2008) provided five standards and
performance indicators. The two indicators that I need to strengthen my
confidence and proficiency in are Modeling Digital Age Work and Learning and
Engaging in Professional Growth and Leadership. My GAME plan for Modeling
Digital Age Work is to set goals in staying up to date and fluent in the newer
technology systems. My goal is to be the resident expert on most technologies.
The actions that will take place to make this happen will include continuing my
research on using the latest technologies in the classroom. My way of
monitoring my progress and evaluating and extending my learning will involve
submitting articles on using technology in the classroom to be published. If I’m
publishing, then I’ll consider my progress, evaluation and extending my
learning to be up to par.
The
other standard and performance indicator is Engaging in Professional Growth and
Leadership. I will set goals to continue my research on integrating technology
into the classroom but also to participate in local and global learning
communities. Whenever, I get a chance to speak or be involved, I want to share
my research with others. I’ll monitor my progress from the feedback received
from my speaking engagements and participation. I’ll evaluate and extend my
learning by improving my delivery based off of the feedback I receive.

Craig,
ReplyDeleteI feel that you are already on the right path to improving on Modeling Digital Age Work and Learning. You have set some ambitious goals for yourself to help you make your classroom technology use a better learning experience for all involved. I love your idea of working towards publishing some articles. That is a goal that I would have never thought for myself, but it seems like it could be a fun avenue to pursue someday. Publishing will definitely allow you to stay up to par! I also think that Engaging in Professional Growth and Leadership is an important part of our jobs as teachers. We are constantly looking for new information, so what a great way to increase our technology skills. Do you have a certain place online that you like to go to find new information about technology in the classroom?
Best of luck!!
Kendra

Hello Kendra,
ReplyDeleteYes, publishing articles will definitely add to the credibility of what I'm trying to put out. The social networks that I constantly use to find new information about technology in the classroom are:

With these two social networks, you can't go wrong. Thanks for the response!!
