Refection on Week 2

After completing week 2 something is really sticking out in my head...resources, data, availability...
Am I using all of the resources that are available to me?  Am I even aware of what resources exist to answer my questions?  I want to take learning into my own hands and take an active role in my learning.  I need to be more responsible is answering my own questions and to stop relying on others.  I want to use this week as motivation to finish the school year with a more hands on approach to my learning and learning how to answer my own questions by using what's available to me.

Blogs in Education

The use of blogs in education creates a resourceful outlet for inquiring minds.  It allows the blog to be read and posted on by all active participants on the campus.  A blog would also utilize and organize numerous opinions, research and suggestions on the topic at hand.  Even if all suggestions were not used, at least the blog presents the option of having more than one solution.  An educator might use a blog to question staff on a certain issue that is currenlty happening on campus.  It could also be used as a tool for staff development applying to both teachers and administrators. 

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! 

I hope to find many different avenues of getting parents involved while participating in my action research project. From what I have read so far in regards to action research; I think it's a tool that should be utilized by all administators and aspiring administrators.  Not only does this create the atmosphere of learning on the campus, it allows for everyone to become more involved in the process of change or conflict resolution.  I plan to use action research to my benefit by allowing feedback on the topic that is currently being inquired about.  It almost seems as though it's a way of social networking in the education field.  As an aspiring administrator, I think action research would create an amazing platform for the campus and myself to move forward with the right knowledge to do so!
