When looking back at my GAME plan, I have learned that incorporating these types of lessons with a lot of collaboration and technology requires much preparation and time. I feel that I must do a better job of preparing my students for the technology they will use, and set more guidelines for group work. As far as influencing my instructional practice, I feel I have more confidence about implementing project-based learning in my classroom as a result of this course. Using and implementing my GAME plan has given me that experience to work out the kinks and learn what it takes logistically to use this type of instruction. As far as modifying my GAME plan from this unit, I would give more structure for students and less options when creating their lessons and digital stories.
Some immediate adjustments I will make in my instructional practice as a result of taking this course is that I would like to include more project-based learning in my lessons. I would like to start by doing one per unit, which would give me six for the year. This is a bit ambitious in my opinion, but I feel that it is doable, and if I do not reach it I will still have implemented some project-based learning into some of my units. I would also like to include online collaboration into my classroom throughout the year, maybe in the form of a blog or wiki, where students can use it as a homework helper as a start. As far as digital storytelling goes, I would like to use it possibly once a semester on standards and units that have more real world contexts so that I can see how this method works for a high school mathematics class.
