EDLD 5301 Week 3

Week 3 Reflection

 I met with my site-mentor this week to discuss how the action research topic was coming along. I had spoken to her the night before about how quickly the research will have to be done, due to the fact that I should be graduating in December. I had been thinking about my previous topic about GT students and technology, but realized that this would be difficult for the teacher and students of the GT class. It would be almost impossible to receive much data from the children in such a short amount of time. We had talked about how about half of our teachers lack the knowledge base and confidence needed to use and integrate within lessons. We decided we would take a sample of teachers and work with them vigorously to see what was needed to increase their knowledge and confidence with technology. We have come up with the process, activities, data, and teachers that will be part of the project. I am excited about working with this group of teachers.
