EDLD 5301: Week 3 Reflection: Decision Time

As you can see, I finally narrowed down my action topics and actually came up with an action research question. How does using Explore Learning Gizmos for 7th grade Science students increase motivation and desire to perform Science lab activities? At least I think this is what my question will be. I have sat and thought for countless hours trying to decide on my question. It had to be technology based since I am a technology student even though I came up with several ideas from an administration viewpoint. Oh well. Maybe within time I can do some of the other ones I thought of. During this week, it was time to develop our draft action plan. I can honestly say, "What?" We are given a template and told, "Go forth. Fill in blanks." At least that's how I felt. We were given examples in our reading, but those seemed to be in final report format and not in a draft template. So again, I say, "What?" I sat and thought about the different steps I would take to develop my research and gather data. Basically, I drafted those steps into the template. So I don't know if I did mine right or wrong, but I guess I will find out when I get my grade. Hopefully, I will at least be close. Enjoy and "Always Forward" preferably with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
