Sheryl, Your objectives seem to lead to discovery of what is in use on your campus. This will certainly lead to another action study which utilizes new methods to instruct the students. Maybe you could use one of the strategies you have learned (blogging, video clips, web conferences, wikis) to "tease" the participants into using unfamiliar techniques.
ReplyDeleteSheryl,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucille on that you are looking for something, technology tools,that will effectively improve the students' learning process. May be if you focus on one skill or subject your project will have a more direct impact in your students. best of luck!
