Reflection and Artifacts
I really thought this was going to be the hardest class in the program, mostly because of the work that is normally involved in doing research for a class. This class showed me, however, how easy it is to include action research in our daily teaching. I partnered up with another student and we walked through the whole process of researching how a student response system would affect students reviewing concepts in a classroom. We wrote out our step by step process and then made our projections on how it would change our teaching. By doing the step by step in a partnered setting it made me realize how easy it is to collect the data through the research process and change how and what I am teaching based on that data. I am planning on actually following through with our action research plan and see how much the use of a student response system affects our students while reviewing content, as well as with if our RTI testing and teaching methods are affected with the use of other technologies.
