This week has been rather interesting. I have learned so much about action research that I am ready to share the concept with my third grade students. Now, I think I will learn a bit more about it before I do that. I have shared with my principal what I have learned, and she is excited to assist me in any way with the project.
Action research is extremely beneficial, and like anything new, it is challenging until you learn how to really use it. My plan incorporates the integration of technology into my classroom so that I may learn how to become a prime site mentor for my campus. I want to learn about technology that will benefit my students not just the latest sales pitch. It has to be worthwhile for the students or it is a waste of time, money, and much much more.
I was really worried at first because the text and professors said that action research isn't just the literature study. It is more than that. I grew up looking up information in texts, and hearing what others said worked for them. I guess that is the difference between my generation and the present generations. I have geared my project around our learners. They are what matter most.
