Resources I will need to carry out my GAME plan include internet access in a computer lab, LCD projector connected to a computer, contacts in the professional realm who are willing to speak to my class in person or via teleconferencing, a website for the class, etc. All of these I have, but I wish to gain more professional contacts in more areas. Currently, I have a meteorologist, chemical engineer and aerospace engineer, but I would like to locate a geologist of some sort. I will try contacting my local geological society and/or museum to see if they are aware of any educational program that I could register my students for.
As for steps I have taken so far, I have updated my class website by refreshing the class calendar, adding text to read sites and I will be working on a new webquest next week. The new webquest will be over the lab created diamond called moisonite. If any of you are teaching rocks/minerals, I highly recommend you look into this cheaper alternative. Samples of moisonite are relatively cheaper and it is a great way to show students the hardest mineral on Moh's scale. I feel like my GAME plan is coming together, but there is always something more to do as ideas present themselves and as technology tools multiply and improve.
