Reflecting on my GAME Plan throughout this course, I can say that my students have been able to use technology in a meaningful way to help improve their fluency and learning. All of my students have improved their reading fluency rate by at least 10 correct words per minute, in just the eight weeks of this course. It is amazing how students can grow when given the opportunity to watch and evaluate themselves by the use of PhotoBooth. My students have also become involved in using Discovery Education to strengthen and reinforce learning of other topics discussed in class. My students enjoy this time to use technology to enhance their understanding. The impact of my new learning based on my instruction is that I am going to continue using PhotoBooth and Discovery Education with my students because they not only enjoy the time on computers, but they are showing growth and improvements. When thinking about adjustments I will be making to my instructional practice regarding technology integration in my classroom will be to just continue working toward using technology more and more. I like to take small steps to not become overwhelmed, but my students and I both like the use of technology and I will continue teaching them different ways to use it to increase their learning.

It is good to know the progress that your students have made so far from your GAME plan. We as teachers must do whatever it takes to make sure our students are mastering the standards for their grade level.
ReplyDeleteYour students have made great progress and you should be proud! I use Discovery Education a lot in my classroom. I like how it provides short clips that reinforce skills learned in class. It is nice that students can see a visual of what they have learned. Most of the time, the programs use the same exact vocabulary words which is a great reinforcement.
