Throughout the GAME experience and chapter 12 in our book, I learned a lot! I really like how our book has each subject individually discussed with specific ideas and goals for us to learn and use. Through the Stories from Practice and the GAME lesson plan formats/examples, I feel my teaching has already improved.
I want to work towards standard 1 and I feel I am doing a great job. Standard one says to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. I think I am doing this through the creation of our class blog and individual blogs. My students are learning in a new way. Plus, they tell me it is fun! If you can combine fun and learning, you are doing your job!
This standard came easy for me, I believe, because I am a creative person and I always want to see creativity shine in others. I just never thought of using it towards technology in the classroom with science... but it is great so far!

I created a blog site last year when teaching 8th grade civics. The blog consisted of political cartoons and editorials. Students blogged about their thought and opinions on government and economic issues. It did help some of my shy, timid students in class. My only challenge was the use of our school site. I was limited and the school site tied me up. I had to moderate the student blogs before release onto the site. I had over 100 students and it wore me down.
ReplyDeleteHow are you planning to set up your blog with the students? Can you use an outside blog source? That would help.
