In thinking about what to write about for this week I decided to write about how I felt I would share my action research project in my career and what impact it would have or how it could be extended. I guess you could say that I work for a rather small school district. However its goal is to become equipped with 21st Century technology trends. This being said, I personally do not feel that my campus has begun to implement all that it could in the areas of pedagogy. I know that there are only a minimal percentage of teachers using technology as an actual teaching tool. I would like to use what I have learned though my action research to serve as a model for other teachers’ own instruction. This upcoming year I will be a mentor/team leader/department chair and will have the opportunity to be more of a “contributor” to my fellow peers. I simply hope to share what I have learned from Full Sail to guide teachers on how to incorporate technology into their own lessons so that students are more engaged and also so that they may retain more of what they are learning. I firmly believe that this can be accomplished through the use of technology tools such as Web 2.0 tools and blogging; like I have done with my own students. It will be up to me to teach them so long as I am afforded the opportunity to do this. I know that not all of them will be open to the idea, but I will take the insights I have gained from our current reading to help me keep things in perspective.
