Report on Action Research Project

I have spent time thinking of the project. Nothing has actually been done as of yet. We are slow and not very interested at this time in making many changes to the classroom. Our technology supervisor is not very efficient at this time. I know that there is a need for some revamping of this in our curriculum. As the spring slows down and there isn’t as much going on, I will be able to break through with some needed information. I will have a chance to sit down with the technology supervisor on this subject in detail. Our district is going through some changes at this time and it is hard to get any new things accomplished at this time. The focus in the classroom has to be on state testing. I have noticed increases in the amount of projects students are doing using technology at this time. We also have used more online approaches to getting students ready for testing. I would like to see more things in the manner of overall school projects. I feel the moral of school spirit would increase, if students were to have a hand in things such as the school twitter account as well as the school website. So much could be done to enhance their education in this field. I am not sure of why this has not already be thought of. I am thinking that the person in charge of this does not want to give it up. Maybe they just don’t feel comfortable with handing this over to students. That is why we need to train them in this. Give them some responsibility and build skills that they can use after their high school education is over. Who knows, they might even take a path in this direction with good experiences at this time in their lives.
