GAME plan Reflection

My Game plan actually turned out pretty good.  Even though one of my goals I worked on more so than the other goal.  My students knew we were working on a GAME plan and they liked that idea right away.   The students in other classrooms where talking about our GAME plan so I shared some ideas with other teacher’s as well.  This Game plan will only get better as I continue to work out the kinks each year.
I learned that I need to take one step at a time and not to just jump into something feet first all the time. I am a go getter; I do not want to sit around contemplating something when I can just jump right in.  I do this often with new technologies and it gets my hopes up to only find out that I have no money or resources for it.  Which then gets the kids bummed out because I always mention to them the new technology items I learn about.  I will just slow down and go one step at a time.
Well, my immediate adjustment I am making in my instructional practice is not mentioning ALL the new technologies I learn about.  This will cause less of a headache later from my kids, “when are we doing this , when are we doing that...”  Like I said, my biggest downfall is jumping in head first and just throwing it all out to the students.  Although this GAME plan worked really good and I was happy with the outcome, there are other technologies that just do not work out as well as this GAME plan did.  
This course taught me quite a bit about some new ideas for class that I have already started integrating into my curriculum to end the year with.
Until next class, Keep it real homies!!
