Task:
In Chapter 15, Novak and Nackerurd proposes an adoption model for educators: RCIPR model. If you are to use this adoption model to incorporate serious games into your classroom, please describe briefly what you will do for each aspect: Research, Choose, Investigate, Pilot, and Reflect. In your log, please identify grade level and subject area.
My Adoption Plan:
RCIPR Model
Grade: Kindergarten
Subject: ELA
Research
When I begin research of COT game it is important to define the learning objective that needs to be taught and find other educators and support groups with the same interests to generate ideas about the topic. I need to create clear goals and implementation procedures on how to use the game.
Choose
I will choose how COTs will be implemented into the curriculum and the specific length of time. I will choose the most appropriate COT and create the instructional design.
Investigate
This is where I decide if the COT will work with our district iPads, what will the cost be to our district, and will it comply with our district guidelines. I need to decide what decide the students will nee for the COT and is it the most efficient game to use with the resources we have available.
Pilot
When piloting a new game, I am deciding where COT belongs in the lesson and how I will assess the students who use the new game. I need to decide type of rubric will I need to assess students and how will I evaluate their progress using the game. I also want to create an efficient way to collect data on student achievement for future lessons using this game.
Reflect
When students have completed the game, I want to decide how COTS will be documented for future reference and what type of additional resources I found during the pilot that can be used in future lessons. I plan to analyze the data collected and develop strategies for future implementation.
