Reflection

After reflecting on my GAME plan for this course I have taken away an idea of process and reflection. I try and implement these two ideas into being a teacher every day, but sometimes one or both of these ideas can be skipped. It is yet another instruction tool that I will keep using in the future to remind myself that teaching is planned, practiced, and revised on a daily basis.

My colleagues in this course helped me find new ideas to add to my GAME plan next time. One of the ideas that I wanted to find out about was the use of portable mics and it was great to hear the advantages and disadvantages to using them. I think I will stick with a standard microphone for my lesson now because of what I heard in my discussion and what I found out in my own inquiry.

I also found out how much further I can take my lesson now that I have run it one time through. I found that it was a success with the students, but that they wanted even more from it. One of the things that they wanted the most was more ownership of the project and a faster turnover of the results, which in the future I will be able to do because of my new acquired knowledge of how to condense and regenerate sound bytes thanks in large part to the sharing that happened in my blog group. I will definitely be using this plan again and can’t wait to so how successful it is with all of my new modifications.
