After reading and reflecting on the NETS-T for teachers, I
decided to utilize Cennamo, Ross, and Ertmer’s (2009) easy steps in developing
my personal game plan. Cennamo, Ross, and Ertmer’s easy steps will enable me to
develop a personal game plan that promotes self directed learning. The self-
directing learning approach will be used to prepaid students to be lifelong
learners (Cennamo, Ross, & Ertmer, 2009). To promote self-directed
learning, I will employ indicator one, “Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning
and Creativity” to: (a) promote, support, and model creative and innovative
thinking and inventiveness, (b) engage students in exploring real-world issues
and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources and (d) model
collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students,
colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environment (ISTE/NETS for
Teachers, 2011).
Goals:
I have 3 essential goals to help my students become self directed learners. My first goal entails incorporating indicator one, elements a, b and d within my instructional practice. The second goal will encompass the use of diverse technology (e.g., laptops, clickers, online software’s, applications, and iPads) within the instructional and learning setting. The final goal is to join some educator’s network and stay abreast with the constant technological changes in regards to teaching and learning. It is important that I explore diverse ways to integrate technology within my instructional practice (Cennamo, Ross, & Ertmer, 2009). The use of diverse technology will enable me to teach old concept in new ways.
Actions:
The actions I plan take to promote self-directed learning will encompass using indicator one and the above elements (e.g., a, b, and d) as outlined below:
• Element A-will used to promote the concept of inquiry-based learning as a measure to help students become independent thinkers and learners. In addition, I will modify the curriculum, instruction, and assessment to meet the learning demands of my students.
• Element B- will create a new way to apply innovative approaches and strategies to integrate existing technology resources.
• Element D- will enable me to integrate blogging or my Podbean reflection page to promote collaborative work and enable students to work beyond the classroom.
Monitor:
My progress will be monitored based on my student’s performances. I will use rubrics as a tool facilitate self directed learning, evaluate individualized tasks and assist students’ performances. Evaluate and Extended Learning:
I will evaluate my learning through assessing what my students mastered and or did not master.
My learning will be extended through researching and using innovative models. Developing lessons and activities using innovative models will create the opportunity to promote active engagement and self directed learning. I believe that shifting gears and adjusting the curriculum is essential in a world where high-tech resources for learning are no longer a choice. Therefore, it is essential for me to transform from teachers to facilitator. As an agent of educating young minds, I plan to do what it takes to help my students to be active in their learning process and become self-directed learners. To that end, this outline will be developed, and used guide to maximize and leverage technology (e.g., simple syndication, weblogs, wikis, audio, video casting, iPads, Twitter, Facebook, and or other social networking) beyond the classroom.
