Well honestly I am interviewing this week for another job at a different grade level. So now I am thinking that maybe I should look at the curriculum and find out how technology is going to fit into this grade level. So I have started again. I still do not know my students but I can continue to look at the new curriculum and determine where and how technology will fit. My new teammates will be much more apt to be receptive to the idea of technology in the classroom. So I am very excited about that. I have learned that it will be an exciting year putting technology into the classroom. I have followed and continue to follow my actions.
I have made the survey to go home so that is ready for when I know and who is in my class. I have also started working on the class wiki. Each subject has a page and each student has a page. So that will be fun to finish putting together.
I have continued to do research about some of the things I saw at ISTE. Does anyone use Gaggle or know anything about it?

Progress
I have been working hard on my goals. I have been going through this upcoming years curriculum and determine where and how technology will fit into that subject. I can not decide yet how in depth I can get with the technology yet because I do not know my students and I need to understand them and need to know what they understand and don't before deciding if for instance a pod cast is to much for them to handle. I have enjoyed looking at the school year in a different light... I believe that my teammates will think that I am crazy..
I have also thought about sending out my survey to parent and students and with that I believe that I am going to give some homework. I am going to ask that each student memorizes their log on information before they come to school. I believe that this will same me an incredible about of time.
I have also begun to do some research blogging vs. wiki and what that might look like. I will continue this and keep you posted. I am also researching some other sites that I heard about at ISTE.

GAME Plan More information
G: My goal will be to Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.
A: I will begin to look at the curriculum for the up coming year and design digital-age learning experiences to go along with what I will be teaching. By doing this and setting up a blog for students and teachers throughout the school to talk. Other teachers as well as students will be seeing the modeling of digital age learning.
I will set up a wiki. Students will be able to post on the wiki about the literature that they are reading. One page on the wiki will be for recommendations of literature that they should read. Another page will be for parents to communicate will me and their student.
M: I will monitor the progress by watching the students in my classroom grow. I will monitor the progress of the staff by helping other teachers and watching myself become a change agent.
The wiki will also be monitoring their literature and what responses they are having to the literature through the wiki. I will also be able to see what they are learning through the readings.
E: I will see if others teachers or staff is interested in what I am doing. I will extend my services out to help them so that others are on board with what I am doing.
Needs:
I will need to set up a blog for teachers at my school to share ideas about lessons.
I also want to set up a place where they can post positive celebrations that took place during the day or week.
I will also need to set up a place for the students in my class to blog. I also need to ask permission from all parents for all the students to use the internet and to blog online. I will have the site be protected so that outside people could not get onto the site.
This site will help me communicate with parents and students.
When students use the site or wiki they will need access to the computers. I will need to check out the mobile lab.
