The GAME plan process was alright. As I stated in an earlier post, I like some of the ideas, especially the reflective process, I just do not feel this exact process is for me.
What I have learned is it is possible to integrate math assignments and projects with technology. The more I thought about a situation, and of course with the help and ideas of colleagues and Susan, the ideas seemed almost endless to incorporate. Now it is just a matter of doing it.
At this point there is not an immediate adjustment. What I am immediately doing is starting the process of getting paid time next year to collaborate with colleagues on designing some unit projects. I know together as a department, we can be very innovative. I already have a good project to bring to the table with my three part lesson plan developed for this class.

using the game plan process with students
Maybe I am just tired…and it could be that I somehow completely missed that there was a blog post last week so I am a bit frustrated. All of which is my own fault.
I do not see the game plan process, at least in the exact format that it has been modeled working for my classroom. I definitely like the reflective practices, and reaching out to classmates is definitely useful. Personally, the game plan process has been more of a “going through the motions” thing vs. an actual ah-ha moment. My gut feeling is that my students will have some of the same feelings.
I definitely want to incorporate the reflective practices and classmate help into my student’s everyday practices. I just do not see it being a formal process only used on projects.

Evaluating Your GAME Plan Progress
• How effective were your actions in helping you meet your goals?
What really made me meet my goals is the weekly discussion about them. So often I get what I consider good ideas, but then as life takes its toll, they get forgotten about or pushed aside.
• What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
I already incorporate a lot of technology, but I have learned there is still a whole other level that it can be used for. I am ready to start rising up to that higher level.
• What do you still have to learn? What new questions have arisen?
I need to get quicker at planning these activities. I am still concerned about the use of class time, its relevance, and keeping up with the set curriculum.
• How will you adjust your plan to fit your current needs?
At this point I feel everything is in place and no adjustments are needed.
