Project Summary (at least 250 words):
I revised my Action Research project last class due
to a change of school district. This action research project focuses on
technology in the classroom to promote student learner focus. I have discovered that my first obstacle is the
system of education. Teachers are eager
to learn about web 2.0 tools, but have a difficulty finding the time to learn
the specific tools. I am working with 11
teacher at Holland Middle School. We
have completed the technology assessments and are now working with technology
instructional techniques other than video, powerpoint & elmos. The staff is very cooperative. Each one has technology strengths and
weaknesses that are really diverse. Analysis
of the STAR assessment has helped me understand technology competence of the
teachers. I have read several studies on
this subject and currently reading more about specific web 2.0 tools and their
best use in education. My administrator
mentor is very helpful with the study and the research. I am currently working with the technology
director with the school district. He has
been very helpful with the availability of technology on campus. The school is currently looking in to buying
iPads for the students. I have been
asked to work with this research, which fits perfectly into the research
project. I feel more confident in this action research project.
