I think that the hardest of my goals for the GAME plan is keeping up with developing technologies due to the mass amount of companies out there developing them. To help support me in my efforts I would become a member of several web based communities and blogs to help keep myself up to date. By using the RSS feeds I can me notified when something is being updated. With the update I can change the description of the feeds so I can keep track of information presented on the site as it is developed. This organizational tool will help keep me from having to track each blog manually and store all of my information in one digital location. This resource is priceless in the amount of time saving convenience it provides.
As I use these new technologies I can keep track of when I used them with a web based calender such as the one through google. This would be an easier way to track the frequency of each type of lesson I have used with my student. Along with the calender I can make short memos on what did and did not work on that day during the lesson. One thing that I currently do is organize all of my lessons by unit and store any material that can be saved digitally with the lesson. This makes it easier to make adjustments to the lesson and easier to find the materials for the lesson the following year. By using these two resources I have to spend less time recreating the wheel and spend more time developing the lesson more or searching for new things that can add depth to the lesson.
When it comes to evaluating the lessons some of the tools that I would use to monitor progress is web based surveys and our CPS response clicker system. The web based surveys allow me to survey all of the students in a short amount of time and not have to gather the information manually from their surveys. The clicker system allows me to develop a short assessment on the lesson taught and have immediate feed back to see if the lesson was successful or not and what areas may need more focus.
