Much of what I've learned in EDLD 5301 Week 3 centers around the dissemination of my action research project when it is complete.
Blog posts will be an ongoing effort during the project's research phase. Currently, I'm in the process of tweaking the background analysis that begins the examination. I'm nailing down reports and articles that address the successes and failures of technology professional development. This step is critical, as it will provide insight into the victories and defeats of earlier technology professional development studies. In addition, the blog provides the perfect place for reflection. I can post my thoughts about the project and receive feedback from classmates.
A draft of my action research plan appears below. As I delve deeper into the link between how Web 2.0 technologies are introduced to teachers and teacher willingness to incorporate those technologies into curricula, my plan will have to be adjusted.
Concluding thoughts and recommendations will first appear here in mid-December. During Christmas break, I will prepare a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the project background, procedures, data analysis, and recommendations. The PowerPoint would be used in a later faculty meeting where central-office administration would be present.
