My Action Research Project was based on career exploration through a student film project. I used a variety of Web 2.0 tools, media, and prompts to help students investigate future goals. The project resulted in a slight improvement in attitudes and clarity in future goals among the target audience. The target audience consisted of two eighth grade consumer science classrooms between the ages of 13 and 15 years old. There were 11 boys and 11 girls who participated in the project. The project will be restructured and carried out next year with a new group of students.
I plan to submit my Action Research paper to
Edutopia. It is part of the George Lucas Education Foundation. The website is dedicated to creating access points for teachers to learn how to educate students in the 21st Century. Edutopia aims to create a community of educators and link their ideas and strategies for using emerging technology in the classroom.
I would also like to submit my article to the
Journal of Technology & Scociety. It is a quaterly journal that aims to cover the issues facing educators today concerning technology. The articles collected spread information about technology use for individual learning and explore the educators experience in the changing world.
I chose these two venues to share my Action Research Project because I respect their mission. I think that each venue suits the aims of my ARP, and each platform is widely read.
