Action Research Topic

The research I would like to conduct is how does utilizing laptops in the classrooms impact student learning?. My school is designated as technology magnet school, but few teachers are seen as technology literate on my campus. As an ancillary teacher, I have the opportunity to teach all students at my school. Last school year, I went from classroom to classroom with a mobile laptop cart teaching students technology skills. I found out that all students are very motivated when it comes to using these laptops. Many of them stay on task, others just want to play games. This made me to start wondering if the use of these laptops increases student learning. My goal is to get every teacher on my campus to use technology tools to increase student achievements. I know this is a big challenge for me as we have more digital immigrant educators on my campus than digital native educators.

  2. I would love to see a copy of your action research plan posted here in the blog. Your goal to have every teacher use technology tools in order to raise student achievement is worthy. The real work will be how do you measure this goal. How do you plan to measure this?
