Final Relection

The game plan that I developed has provided me with the motivation I need to effectively develop and execute a lesson plans that bring authentic problem-based learning to the students.

Authentic instruction from my point of view, which has been greatly influenced by what I have learned over the past eight weeks, engages the students in learning content and brings real life situations and problems into the classroom and makes it possible to meet the needs of diverse earners through the use of technology, Assessing content area learning through problem-based learning lesson provides the teacher with a much more accurate measure of what the student has learned. Learning content by it self is not a true measure of understand but when that knowledge can be applied successfully by solving an authentic problem the student benefits significantly

The first action I intend to take once school starts this year is to reserve the Netbook cart for at least two to three days a week to work with the students on technology ethics, researching on the web and networking sites available o the students through the schools network.

Achieving My Goal

I will be very honest; I have not accomplished much towards my goal this past week. Some rather significant changes are taking place and my thoughts have been preoccupied with other issues. I will be returning to school on Monday of next with great excitement, and I am planning on bring new and more interesting ways for the students to become more engaged in learning.

During the past week while working on my online collaborative lesson I realized there are valuable resources students can access with a little thinking on their part. So the only progress I have made towards my goal is that of developing the lessons over the last couple of weeks and becoming more aware of the tools that are available to both myself and my students.

Evaluating My GAME Plan

Well I have to say my GAME plan hit a snag this week. I really have not do much in the way of working on a PBL except for the lesson developed for my Wiki.
