The National Education Standards for Students (NETS) and the National Education Standards for Teachers (NETS-T)says that as society becomes more inundated in technology, students and teachers will be expected to be able to apply basic skills to solve problems, complete projects and use their creative abilities for a multitude of assignments. My Game Plan experience gave me an opportunity to to develop and apply some of my creative abilities to solve problems and develop and expand my basic skills in technology. I was extremely pleased that this Game Plan experience was so successful. I think when teachers are successful and feel comfortable in the project of technology, they are then able to extend that confidence and provide successful learning experiences for their students. Someone once said you can not lift another to higher ground unless you yourself are standing on higher ground. I think it is difficult for teachers to teach the new standards that require higher order thinking skills unless they themselves have those skills. The Game Plan is a good technique to help teachers and students develop those skills and learn to work through the process of improving skills
