GAME Plan: Current Needs and Obstacles



Implementing my plan seemed very easy on paper, but I have encountered many obstacles.  Both of my goals depend on using weebly.com to create a website and support students in creating their personal websites.  

Needed Resources:
I have developed an issue with weebly.com and the internet block on the internet at school.  My classroom is equipped with 10 iMacs connected to the internet; however, these are deemed useless without weebly.  I have requested, through our IT department, to have the site unblocked.  This may take weeks.  

Intended Learning Strategy:
I have already completed the assignment sheet with extensive project requirements for my students.  Unfortunately, I cannot assign the project until the website is unblocked.  I have students who do not have internet access at home.  Until the site is unblocked, students are emailing their blog posts to me.  These posts act as their self-assessment for each week’s production.  The blog post does contain the content I wanted to engage students with.  The website was more of a polished way to post and evaluate their work.  


Steps I Have Taken:
So far, I have created the class weebly to share with the community.  I have not shared the link yet.  I want to wait until each student’s blog is linked to the page.  The community can still access our public schooltube page:www.schooltube.com/channel/wavetv 

Once the class and student weebly accounts are complete, I will change the link on our school’s webpage to reflect the weebly page.  This has been a blessing in a way as well.  My producers and I have decided to redesign our graphics.  We are creating new title screens and lower thirds.  Therefore, when we launch the new weebly page we can also launch our new show design.  It is exciting. Below is a picture of our new graphics.
