Using the GAME Plan Process



Course: Integrating Technology Across the Content Areas
Instructor: Virgil Kirk


When I first read about the GAME plan process I thought it would be very time consuming and another item to add to my overflowing plate. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the process helped me organize my thoughts and the direction I wanted my lessons to go. It also gave me the opportunity to revisit my plan and revamp it if I needed to.

Using the GAME plan process with my students helps them to become self-directed learners. They become responsible to take a closer look at their own learning. It gives them the skills to learn how to synthesize information and develop a way to track their own progress. It will also give students ownership of their learning environment. Teaching this process will take time but the end result will be to benefit both the teacher and students. I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s GAME Plan and I hope you are able to successfully infuse it into your classroom.
