GAME Plan Review

In thinking back over the length of the course, I have thought about what I really took away from the GAME Plan. What it comes down to is that I have reinforced the idea that I need to plan into my year ways to improve my teaching strategies and methods. In regards of technology, I have not learned too much new information, with the exception of how to make video podcasts using VoiceThread.

One of the things that I have learned in the course, and will use in my next semester's course is to use online collaboration when I cover genetics. The lesson plan I developed for my "Traits and Punnett Square" lesson. I will use online collaboration to have my students see how traits are passed through generations, and that not all dominant traits are more prominent in populations. This lesson will be quite beneficial, and I will use it in the future.

As my schedule opens up (hopefully soon), I will begin to update my calendars more frequently and provide more podcasts for my students so that they can focus on the information they may have missed or not understood in class.

Overall, I thought I picked up a few good ideas in the class, and will use them when I can in the future.

Happy Holidays!
