There were several technological tools from this class that could be useful in my, or any classroom. However, I feel utilizing video casts will be most beneficial for me. To describe my plan for implementation, I will use the SMART goal plan, per Dr. Loeffer's request (I used this acronym a couple of times before, and I think it is a very straight-laced way of thinking about how to implement a concept):
Specific---I will be creating video casts for each of my 3 lessons on advanced sequences and series. I will then post these videos to my school website, and instruct my students to "learn at their own pace," asking me questions as needed along the way.
Measurable---At the end of the unit exam on these three lessons, I will give my students an exam, as usual. To measure the success of my idea, I will compare their scores on these exams to those of their previous ones, looking for any type of improvement (or lack there of).
Attainable---As I have two computers at my disposal, along with several hours a week dedicated to technology inservice time, I should be able to get these casts made with little to no difficulty. Also, because I am only doing three lessons, it is very feasible for me to finish in a timely fashion.
Realistic---Because I am only doing three lessons, this technology goal is very realistic. However, should I find this to be a success, I will certainly dedicate some summer time to making additional videocasts.
Timely---This will be completed before the unit begins, which will start in April.
I believe that this plan is feasible and attainable. Thank you for the great tools and ideas Dr. Loeffler!
