ED 6713 FINAL BLOG POST

The GAME plan that I was able to develop throughout the course gave me great insight into the value of lesson planning. I really just took lesson planning with a grain of salt before I took this course and learned about using the GAME plan guide to set lesson planning. I looked at quite a few lessons before the school year is to begin and reset myself to follow what I learned in the GAME plan and feel more confident then ever in my lesson planning. My school year goal is to focus all of my lesson plans into GAME plans. I really want to prove to myself that when I set goals I am able to be more open, creative and energetic about my students learning. I also am hoping to incorporate a lot of problem based learning into my social studies and reading lessons. Technology has become an essential part of my teaching. I want to provide all students with all the possibilities that they need to have in elementary school. I want the community to say that Mrs. Ivester's Class really knows how to use technology and they are doing some very creative and exciting projects. I also want my parents to understand the importance of technology and be able to identify with what their children are learning.
