This course has taught me an abundant amount of information that I can use in my profession to benefit both my students and me. As I reflect on the past 8 weeks, I have grown professionally more than I ever thought I could in such a short period. Reaching the goals that I have set for myself in my GAME plan has given me tremendous confidence to continue to set goals so that I can continue to grow. I must incorporate technology into my lessons to engage the technology craving students in my classroom.
I have learned a great deal more about incorporating technology into my classroom to enhance the learning experiences of my students. Using technology enhances activities and allows for more creativity along with content knowledge. I have learned the benefits of problem-based learning, online collaboration, and digital storytelling in the classroom. Incorporating technology into my classroom helps prepare students for the society that they will enter as working citizens and engages them in authentic learning activities. When using technology the possibilities are endless because students can consult the advice of professionals or other students from anywhere in the world. When technology is brought into the classroom activities are more meaningful and mastery of content can be achieved.
I plan to continue my GAME plan by setting more goals for myself. I also want to collaborate more with others to share ideas of using technology in the classroom, and possibly even work with a class from somewhere around the globe with my students. I want to share my knowledge with my colleagues and encourage them to start making their own GAME plans. I want my students to start making their own GAME plans also where they can set their own goals and strive to reach them. I want them to feel the sense of accomplishment that I have had the chance to feel.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Thank you Dr. Xu for helping me to grow professionally.
