In order to start the work on my GAME plan, I need to focus on what materials or resources I need to accomplish my goals. With the first standard: 1. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. A. Teachers should design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
My goal is to develop learning experiences using the interactive whiteboard to promote student learning and engagement. I need to find resources for interactive whiteboard lessons. I will preview some lessons from sites bookmarked on my Delicious site and others listed here.

I will contact other second grade teachers through my second grade NING and ask for suggestions and interactive whiteboard lessons that are already available. Then I will connect the lessons to my curriculum. When I see areas in the curriculum that do not have interactive whiteboard lessons connected to it, I will create those corresponding lessons.
I will need to design the Rubric for comparing the lessons and its impact. I will assess the student engagement, content, interactivity, and interest level of each lesson. I will keep track of this information in a Reflective Journal or possibly on a blog.
For the second standard: 2. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. C. Teachers communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
I want to design my website to be more interactive and informative to parents and students. Some of the resources I will need for this goal are to attend the Schoolwires Conference and learn about enhancing my website. With this training, I can find out new ways to communicate with my parents and students. I need to add a survey to my website or send it out so parents can tell me what they would like to see on the website. I will add a counter widget so I can track the number of hits on my website. In addition, I can visit other teacher websites to get ideas on how to improve my website.

Kerry,
ReplyDeleteI am also a second grade teacher who is anxious to incorporate the use of the white board into my lessons. I am in nearby Maryland, so I would definitely like to establish a correspondence in order to develop a list of interactive white board sites. Although our standards may differ, we can certainly tweak each lesson to cater to our students' needs. If you are ever looking for a white board lesson to include as part of your curriculum, please do not hesitate to ask.
Coleen and Brooke,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions! I have used the Internet4Classrooms site for general information but will have to check it out for lessons. Brooke, I would certainly like to share lessons and other ideas! I think grade level collaboration is so helpful. I'll shoot some ideas your way soon!
Thanks again!
Kerry
