Technology for AU Students

I was dumbfounded by the term "action research plan"because my first thought was writing research papers.   I truly was dreading the idea of writing a research paper.  After I did an in depth search of the term "action research plan",  I discovered it entailed something totally different.  I went to various websites to obtain more information about what it was, how to develop it, and how to implement it.  During my research I didn't have my textbooks but once they arrived, I gained a better understanding of what it is and how to implement it within many different areas.   I learned that the responsible of creating an action research plan depends solely on me and my committee members.  When it comes to developing a plan or plans you need to clear vision of what you want to achieve.  Without a vision or theme for your plan it will be hard to attain.  The first thing you should do is pick a subject matter that is important to you or your school.   Then should you begin to gather, organize, and analyze the data.  Once this is done you can begin to implement your plan by designating various responsibilities to your committee. This technique will be vital to me in my classroom ( tests, tutoring program, etc) and in team meetings (co-teaching, scheduling and etc.).
