Using the GAME Plan Process with Students

The goals that I set for myself where to take part in more leadership roles and also to conduct more research so that I could provide my students with more opportunities to use technology. I have met my goal of research and am still in the process of meeting my goal about leadership but am well on my way to reach it.

After looking at the National Education Standards for Students, I think I could alter these goals to help my students meet the NETS by:

1. Providing time for my students to conduct research so that they could:

Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students:

a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.


2. Communication and Collaboration

a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media.
b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats.
c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures.


3. Research and Information Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students:

a. plan strategies to guide inquiry.
b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.
c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.


6. Technology Operations and Concepts

Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students:

a. understand and use technology systems.
b. select and use applications effectively and productively.

2. Allowing my students to have more leadership opportunities so that they can become leaders and carry it on with them throughout school and also into the work place.


5. Digital Citizenship

Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. Students:


c. demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning.
d. exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.

My GAME plan for my students would be to give them time once a week to conduct supervised and organized research to find websites and other technology resources that they are interested in to help them learn. I would also provide leadership roles in the classroom that would teach and show them how to become leaders. I would also include them in my goals so that they would have a model of what it is like to become a leader.

By allowing my students time to research and to become better leaders will only help them to become more productive citizens.
