Big Picture
In this assignment we will practice using the GAME plan to guide your self-directed learning about a specific technology of interest. For this GAME plan we are going to use a PowerPoint skill that you would like to learn how to do. You will demonstrate your learning in a PowerPoint Presentation that you will present to your team mates.

Outside of Class
You will create a powerpoint presentation to share your GAME plan. It will need to have at least one slide for each letter (GAME). It may have more if you like.

Set Goals: Based on your current knowledge of PowerPoint select a specific PowerPoint skill that you would like to learn more about. Write a specific objective that is measurable and achievable. Record your objective on one slide.

Take Action: Although there are many ways to gain information to meet your learning goals, for this activity, search the help features of PowerPoint or do a web or YouTube search for PowerPoint tutorials. On this slide describe what actions that you planned to take to meet your objective. In other words develop a learning plan.

Monitor your Learning: As you collect information, consider whether you are gaining the knowledge you need to meet your objective. Do you need to modify your learning strategy? On this slide describe actions you took actually took as you went about learning your new skill.

Evaluate and Extend your Learning: Describe how you will demonstrate your learning. Use the skill that you selected in your powerpoint. Describe any other things that you learned about PowerPoint as your executed your GAME plan. If your learning strategies were unsuccessful, what will you do differently in the future? If your strategies were successful, what have you learned that will be helpful in the future?

During Class
