The part of my action plan that I have already started on is modeling creative thinking. I have been more aware of making sure that I am thinking aloud and showing the students how I would work through the problem and figure out the solution. The next part of my plan that I want to implement would be to start having a classroom problem of the week and having a reflection on one lesson that had technology integrated into to once a week.
The resources that I am going to need in order to carry out my action plan are examples of student based projects, some final examples to see what to expect from the students, different blog sites that relate to technology integration to get feedback from colleagues and to get new ideas and methods from them, and some mini lesson technology lessons designed for younger children to teach them how to use the technology and the Internet.

ReplyDeleteGood job modeling the metacognitive process! I know a teacher who actually has a certain hat that she wears when she models this behavior so that students understand when she is 'thinking about thinking' versus going crazy talking to herself! It really seems to make sense to the students and helps strengthen the learning environment by making it more fun!
