Teachers can examine the National Education Standards for Students (NETS-T) and use the GAME plan process with their students to help them develop proficiency in these standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S. Students will go through the same steps as the teachers go through. Students will set goals based off one or two standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S. They will then take action by stating what they will do to achieve these goals. Next they will monitor their progress of their learning and receive feedback from their peers and teachers. Finally, they will evaluate and extend their learning through reflection.
For example, students may select standard 1a: apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. Students could create a short one to five minute digital story integrating technology by using pictures, video, music, and narration to share their problem-based learning projects with other students. They could develop a GAME plan using these ideas to help them accomplish their goals. This is one way teachers can use the GAME plan process with students to help them develop proficiency in the technology standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S.

Brian,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of having students look at the NETS-S and create their own goals. I think maybe grades K-2 would struggle a bit deciding what they want to work on but the teacher could always have activities that correspond with each standard and students could decide which activity they want to try. I think technology is something that is fun and exciting for most young people so they really want to learn more. I think if you showed students the state set math standards and asked them to create a GAME plan you might get a different response. I know you are teaching PE so I was wondering if this was something you could see yourself doing in your class or possibly working with other teachers in your building to make happen? Happy Holidays.

My post sounded a lot like yours, you did a better job aof going into detail about what you plan. I left mine more open to let the entire class figure out the GAME plan. I do not know if I could handle having that many individual projects going on at once. I would at least have to group them together.
