Let the Action Research Begin!

Lamar Documents - HManess Google Site

I have created a new page on my Google site that we created in our last course.  The page will house important documents that I need to keep on file throughout my Masters program.  I have already filed my internship plan, signed and approved action research plan, student surveys, and a link to my blog: edtechtalk.










One specific topic of interest that caught my interest were the many uses for blogging in an educational community.  I have read many of my friends' blogs to keep up with their day-to-day activities, but had never thought about using it as an educational resource.  I have loved getting to post weekly reflections, and receive professional feedback from my classmates.  Using the blog for reflective purposes seems so much more relevant it today's ever-changing educational world.  I look forward to keeping up with my blog throughout this program, and then into my future.  
I would like to learn more about strategies like Force Field Analysis that focus on continued growth in the educational setting. Below is an example that I created using Force Field Analysis in my ARP.  I love that it includes the positive and negative forces that can either drive one to change, or resist one against change.
In order to build my knowledge in this area I will continue to find opportunities where these types of strategies would be beneficial to sustain growth and improvement.  I would love to be part of a large decision making committee at my campus level where I could integrate many of these practices in a real world setting.
