Week 5.2 5352

My Campus-supervised activities have been going very smoothly and have been agreed upon by the coaches and teachers that I am using for my research. My plan is in action right now because of basketball and baseball season underway. My action research consists of correlation between athletes and non athletes and how their academic success is reflected. My superintendent has been following up with my activities along with reviewing data with me. I am still collecting data on benchmarks and state wide testing to see correlations. I also am planning out times to meet with the teachers so we can implement new ways to create stronger work ethic in non athletes and motivate students not involved in athletics while finding out the problems.

I am currently doing all my action research report activities at the school I am employed at. I still have some activities remaining that consist of DMAC solutions and recording some of my data into excel spreadsheets.

I have gained tremendous knowledge in both of my last 2 courses. I have seen a huge difference in implementing technology into my lessons, and being able to use web based tools to enhance my teaching. I have seen an increase of motivation in students, along with interest, being able to use new tools on the internet. My technology skills have increased somewhat, already being familiar with internet usage, but had no clue about the resources out there that help teachers implement technology into their lessons. I have grown into the last five weeks in technology based classrooms and have had a change of mindset on how to get the traditional teaching methods changed to technical advances.
