Throughout this course I had to create a GAME plan and work on accomplishing the GAME plan. I like the process of the game plan and how it kept me focused and wanting to complete the task instead of putting a plan in place and then getting to busy to complete the task. The GAME plan held me accountable for the goal in which I had set forth. After completing a GAME plan for myself I see how it can be beneficial to my students as well. For my students long term goals are hard for them to complete and often become forgotten. So I think I would use the Game plan for shorter goals maybe one per marking period and instead of them creating a goal of their own I would great their GAME plan for them. An example could be to write neater or be able to spell your first and last name. I know these tasks seem simple to us but for my students these are extremely difficult tasks but are ones that need to be learned.

Throughout this course I learned many different ways to use technology along with various tools that I am looking forward to embracing them and implementing them in my class activities next year.

One thing that I have already changed in my classroom is I have signed up for the computer lab for every other week in order to make sure that my students are able to use technology as often as possible and customize the learning to meet the individual students needs.”Digital tools can help you “customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resource.”(Cennamo, Ross, Ertmer, pg 109).
