About Me

My photo
I'm a late bloomer...going back to school after my children are grown. I have 1 precious grandson and 3 children. I teach Homebound Students (too sick to attend school, but can work at their own pace). I hope to earn my Master's Degree in Educational Technology Leadership in order to move to the college level at some point.

Action Research Reflection

I found the Action Research project to be very enlightening.  It lead me in a different direction than I originally planned. I concluded that, although my district is advanced in many areas of technology, including Virtual School, they are decidedly behind in the integration of technology and virtual education for Homebound students.  Although the district shows innovation and experimentation in many areas of technology, the Homebound students have been left behind. I ran into roadblocks in numerous areas as I attempted to bring my students the level of education and accommodations that they deserve. I finally resorted to using my own computer, IPad and portable internet device. I thought about ways where other programs could be integrated with our program.
I have found since I concluded the research, that there are certain areas where my ideas are being implemented. I feel that this is, in part, a result of my suggestions. I found other areas where I want to do more action research. This is a process that I will definitely utilize in the future.
