I suppose that I will use this blog for a number of benefits both as an educator and as an action researcher (until such time as the two become wholly synonymous). I know that every one of you reading this now will be willing to throw your two cents in to help cultivate my reflections and conclusions until they bear significant fruit. I will look forward to doing the same for each of you as often as I can. In that way, we will use these blogs as discussion forums for the free sharing and expression of relevant ideas. Our blogs will also become another source of data for us all. We can check back here whenever we arrive at a loss and find perspectives from any number of professional colleagues who can either offer solutions to small problems or help steer us in a direction better suited to achieving the overall conclusion of our researches. In short, we will use the blog as a virtual classroom - one in which our discussion about our action research topics will be the lesson plan all day, every single day.
I look forward to our continued collaboration...
Jeff, I have just begun to wonder about using blogs for data, but I absolutely think it's an idea with tremendous potential. Great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteLove to read that I am not the only one who is trying to figure out how to do these things, in hopes that they will help give us insight and better understanding of how to be good leaders. The sharing of knowledge is at our finger tips and it is only learning how to get to it and use it that keeps us in the dark.
