Using the GAME Plan process with students

The GAME Plan process is very useful to help students maintain their focus and purpose when using the technology standards and indicators outlined in the NETS-S, in content area learning. When they set their goals, they will know what they hope to achieve at the end of the activity. It gives them a sense of purpose to accomplish what they need to do. Following the action plan for their goals, will help them organize their thoughts and outline what they have to do to achieve their goals. Monitoring the process to achieve the goals would give students the responsibility to look at their learning closely to see if they are still on track for the completion of the final product. Their evaluation would be done during the entire process and at the end of the process, and this could be formative assessment or summative. Throughout the entire activity, students´creativity and innovation, problem solving and critical thinking skills,leadership and communicative skills would be developed through using the technology. Therefore, their proficiency levels would be greatly enhanced.
