Monitoring my GAME plan

This week I have been working on my GAME plan. I have researched iTunes for educational art apps in order to install them on the new iPods my school has recently acquired. I found several applications that I think will be appropriate. Before installing them, however, I will need to contact our IT department for approval and permission to purchase the apps. One set back that I have faced this week is that I can’t access iTunes at school and must do the research at home. (This week has been an unusually busy week).

My second goal, improving my wiki for communication with parents, has been easier to concentrate on. I have installed a counter in order to monitor how many visitors have accessed the site. I have also taken more pictures of my students as they work. I have not added them to the website, but intend to before the end of the week.

Are you finding the information and resources that you need? My IT department has been very helpful in regard to policy pertaining to publishing students’ pictures and not their names.
Do you need to modify your game plan? At this time, I feel that my GAME plan is attainable and I do not feel that any modifications are needed.
What have you learned so far? I have learned that including technology into my curriculum is easier than I once thought. Art is typically performance-based and project based learning. However, with the rapid changes in technology, students can apply their drawing skills in a new and exciting medium.
