As I continue to work on my GAME plan, I am thinking about how to more effectively incorporate NETS-T goals in to the lessons. The method of instruction I am looking at is problem-based instruction, implementing more development of digital age learning experiences and also modeling solid digital citizenship.
I have learned a great deal this last week about being more effective with assessment. Using project-based assessments will work best for the middle school population I work with. Getting students to buy in to what we are doing is easier with ‘real world’ style assessments. It is exciting to think about keeping learning fresh for my students and showing them that assessment does not have to be memorizing facts and figures but can be more hands on and applicable to their lives.

I think that is great that you are going to use more project-based assessments in your classroom. I think that middle school students will really enjoy that type of learning because it is hard to get them to focus and they are very social and tech savory. I think that you will be surprised by how creative and the depth of their knowledge. Good Luck! with your GAME plan.
