The activities that we worked on this week really helped me understand alot more about action research and how it benefits those that use it. Towards the end of this week as I was visiting with my site supervisors I really began to see why I could apply action research into my campus and how it would benefit us. When I think back to the creation of my internship plan and the actions that I put into my plan I view them a little differently. I still look forward to this activities in my internship plan, but I have a better understand of how I will research these areas and how they can benefit our program. The bigger picture is coming together and I am feeling comfortable and confident with my action research plans!
Have a great weekend everyone! Hope everything is coming together for each of you as well.

How might educational leaders use blogs?
As an educator I can see one using a blog to share ideas and lesson plans for classroom activities. Coming up with new and unique projects that the students really enjoy working on it not always easy. Getting ideas from other educators and sharing ideas is very helpful.
I can also see educators blogging about issues or concerns that they might need advice on. I personally would not blog on issues that included specific details to an individual, but just general information that I might need support and advice on.

What I have learned about Auction Research??
Action research begins with identifying a problem or concern. You then must collect data about the problem or concern, implement an action of change based on your research findings, observe the change in progress, gather new data after the change has occurred, and provide results on the impact of the new change. Action research is a method that can be used to improve our administrative practices through following steps and collaboratively working together to solve the problem.
As an administrator is it important to notice problems within your campus and work towards creating change that will benefit your school and/or programs. Using action research will provide you with the necessary information to arrive at a decision change that can benefit your school through the use of data and collaboration. In alot of cases as we are researching the issue at hand we in turn learn more about our campus, our students, our faculty and what works best for everyone together.
I would feel very comfortable using action research because it does provide steps to researching the issue, creating change, evaluating the change, and then reflecting on the change. It a positive response has been created then we have created a successful change. If not then we can go back and repeat the process until we have created that positive change.
