Profession development is a large component of my GAME plan. I want to get involved in what local educators are doing in regards to technology. I also would like to play a more active role in my district when it comes to technology. A great resource for professional development is getting involved in an organization called Computer Using Educator (CUE). The mission of CUE is to “CUE inspires innovative learners by fostering community, personalizing learning, infusing technology, developing leadership, and advocating educational opportunities for all. ” (Computer Using Educators, 2015). CUE is a local affiliate group that is very close to me. This could be an incredible resource for me. Another resource to help me achieve my professional development goal is to familiarize myself with my district’s technology plan and resources. This will help me to get more involved and act as an anchor document when it comes to implementing change in my classroom and in my efforts to help improve this plan.
My second goal revolved around finding ways to implement digital technologies into my classroom. A great resource to help my achieve this goal is the blog www.thewiredteacher.com. This blog is created by educators using technology in their everyday classroom with the purpose of helping other educators do the same. Their testimonials and examples of what they are doing is a great resource for me. I will be able to take what they are doing and apply it to my classroom. By being more active in this community, asking questions, and offering my own feedback it will help me to better implement technology.
