One GAME plan I have is to strengthen my ability to Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility. Since I have been a teacher this has been a major concern of mine. I want all of my students to understand how to use technology appropriately and take responsibility for the work that they create. Many times students forget that what they write is a direct reflection of them. Even in a controlled environment, such as our filtered school website, students feel there are no consequences for what they are saying online sometimes. I think with cyber bullying becoming more and more of an issue, my students need to know more than ever that what they say in the digital world has implications in the real world. I would greatly like to demonstrate this to my students and think that a virtual interview with those that have either been victimized by cyber bullying or those that have been caught cyber bullying might be the answers. I would love ides if anyone has some.

My next area of growth for my GAME plan is Digital Age Work and Learning. Demonstrating my fluency can be a challenge because I sometimes don’t have the tools at my disposal that I would like to have to learn more so that I can show my students more. This class is definitely a step in the right direction but some of the ideas we learn here, or technologies, will be outdated in a year so it is important to keep being informed and educated on how to use these new technologies. I have not even seen an Ipad in person yet. I think one way to strengthen my ability to model and have technology to model is to learn how to grant write. I can’t wait for money that is not going to come so it is my job, whether it is fair or not, to go get it for my classroom. Has anyone written a grant for technology before?
