Evaluation of my progress




This is my fourth week after I wrote my GAME plan. I feel that my goals will not be reached as fast as I thought. But my plan will be done soon. There is some work that needs to be done before actually filling my technology gaps but I think it need to be taking care of, if I really want to make a good impact in y class and professional development.

5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

Like I said some weeks ago I am part of the professional development group in my school but we already found a little wall. We do not have enough time to provide quality training to our teachers. Our next idea was to use departmental meetings as professional development time. Some departments like English and Science do not want to give up their times due to some projects they are working on right now. This is the little issue we have right now but we consulted our principal about this matter and he will address this to the superintendent in their next meeting which is Tuesday 13. Our team will not meet till the following week because there are other meetings going on and most of the members will not be able to meet. Right now I feel positive about using department meetings as Professional development.
The tutor teachers are ready and they are sending e-mail questioners to find out our technology need which is great!
Prepare the field week after working on the after I

3. Digital-Age Work and Learning Model

Thank you to everyone for your responses about Wiki’s after clicking here and there I decided to go back to what I have. Moodle, I was in kind of denial about using this program because last year I had a bad experience with it. Right now I give it another chance. I think I gave me another chance with it and it seems easier. I started using it last week with my students and we got confused but all together figure out the way to solve our little challenge. It was a very good learning experience. I just asked how to start it and I teach that to my students and we are using it to talk about it.

Right now I have my seventh grade class and my eight grade class discussing about the different challenges, likes and dislikes about moodle. I need to see how they feel for me to find a hook for each student and later on use it as a way of communication.

The teacher who explained it to me told me that I can communicate with people from other countries by moodle. That interested me but I will try to do some kind of outside the country activity until me and my students feel comfortable using moodle at home.
Like I said at the beginning my goals are not hard to accomplish what I never taught is how long it would take me to set up a ground for them to launch.
But I still working on them I hope by the end of this course I would be able to talk to you about my two goals accomplishments.
