Reflection week 8

- Reflect on the GAME plan you developed and followed throughout the course.
as I look back on my GAME plan, I don't think I would change my goals, just how I would go about reaching them as I have changed teaching positions. I would still have my students attaining their Fine Arts standards using technology to explore areas of the Fine Arts that they are interested in pursuing.
- Summarize any new learning that resulted from your following your GAME plan and explain what impact your new learning will have on your instructional practice.
What I really got out of following the GAME plan was that it is very adaptable because you are constantly monitoring and reflecting on it as you proceed. This creates a new mindset for how you think about, plan and develop lessons with technology in mind.
- Describe any immediate adjustments you will make to your instructional practice regarding technology integration in your content area(s) as a result of your learning from this course.
I have been offered a new position this Fall which take me out of my computer lab and sets me up with a mobile lab of laptops to go to each class that I will service. They basically created the position specifically for me as they knew I have a Fine Arts/Music background along with my love for technology. I went from thinking about integrating core subjects like Science and Social Studies, which get the least amount of attention in the homerooms, to thinking about how I can approach that from a Fine Arts with technology integration standpoint. I have so many new ideas about using video, graphic arts, animation, voice-threads and more to make the Arts seem more relevant and current to this tech-savvy generation of students. I am looking forward to using technology to share my love of art and music with my students.
