Week Two Reflections-Action Research Topic
I learned alot from the week two assignments. I learned that there are many great action research topics to study to improve student performance. They can come from nine different passions that were discussed in our readings this week by Dr. Fichtman. These passions can lead to many topics that can be researched to help improve the quality of education for our students. After listening to the three videos I realized that technology and data are two components that need to be researched and analyzed to help our students. All three administrators agree that studying and interpreting data is essential for student growth. I also met with my site supervisor and we decided that my action research project should deal with new technology in the classroom. The "Bring Your Own Device" to school campaign was ultimately what I decided to research and study during my quest for a masters degree.

I agree with you how data and technology needs to be researched and analyzed to help our students succeed. I also like the idea of "Bring Your Own Device" to school. I am interested to see how much more success students will have in the classroom if they are allowed to use their techology devices.
ReplyDeleteTom, thank you for commenting on my blog. I've never heard of the "Bring Your Own Device" campaign, but it sounds very interesting and I look forward to hearing more during your study. I've added your blog to my blog roll so that I can continue to follow you. You should come join our class facebook page! It's been a wonderful, supportive and helpful group.

I hve never been on facebook, but I think you have convinced me to get an account and join the group.
DeleteYes, you definitely should! I'll let the others know you are coming soon! : )
DeleteThomas, I think that the "Bring Your Own Device" will be a great topic for your research. Money is so tight with the school districts, they are struggling to keep up with the technology demands! It will be interesting to read your research.
