What Will Happen Next? Stay Tuned...
I am faced with writing a preliminary draft for my action research project and it is like guessing where a tiddly wink will land. I know I am going to pop up into the air and I know technology is my game but WHERE will I land? More importantly, what action do I take right now? There are 3 possibilities (in view at the moment)
1.) I remain in my current teaching assignment and coordinate with teachers, parents and administrators at Cardozo (a different school) to do my action research during an after school program that is already established. This option could also work if #2 happens.
2.) Cardozo is successful in getting me back and gets approval to add a "technology study skills" class to be taught in the computer lab. An action research project could be conducted within the class itself.
3.) I am applying for a totally new and different position in a different school district. The position is for a Technology Director. This job's description is to help a district integrate technology into the classroom. The possibilites for action research in that position are unknown but probably very great.
At the very least, I am getting my resume and letters of recommendation in order. I will seek guidance from John and Mike also. More to come.
