Game Plan: Meeting the Needs of Diverse Learners

After reading over the NETS standards for technology, I found many areas in which I need to strengthen my confidence.

One area of NETS I found I need to become more confident and proficient is:
4. Promoting and modeling digital citizenship and responsibility. I need to make my students more aware of their surroundings by instilling in them a sense of ethical awareness. I can accomplish this by modeling to my students the correct ways to cite works whether the work is thier work or another persons piece of work.

Another area I need to become more confident and proficient is:
5. Engaging in professional growth and leadership. I can accomplish this by being more involved in local and global learning communities.

I would like to begin this goal with a lesson on life cycles. I would read several books to my students so they could compare pictures they would copy on a poster board while giving the copyright at the bottom of the picture. I would find a local or global kindergarten classroom who is working on life cycles also. I would make time during the lesson to talk with the other class. I would like to teach my students to complete a voice thread and have them place and site pictures they find from the internet.
