  1. I like your plan. I especially like how you are incorporating the students you actually work with into your action research. I think a nice evaluation tool would be to share your results on your blog and ask for comments?

  3. Your action research project is interesting, and your plan looks very good. I like the use and integration of technology through out the project. Your approach to this project maximizes the use of the technology tools available to the 21st century teacher.
