Reflections and Status Report for Campus-Supervised Internship Activities, Action Research, and Your Technology Skills

I completed my Action Research project at the beginning of this school year.  My Action Research project was developed based on early childhood education data at my school.  I developed a plan to implement literacy nights and reading buddies at my school to increase literacy scores in grades K and 1.  I compiled the data from these programs and interventions and shared the data with staff members at my school.  This was very effective and we were excited about the results.  We hope to continue these programs throughout the school year this year and continue in the years to come. 

I have also completed the internship hours and reflections.  My site based supervisor is looking over the reflections and will be completing the necessary paperwork to be turned in by next week. 

At the beginning of this course, we were asked to complete a technology survey that addressed technology items that we were comfortable with and those that we would like to learn more about.  There were many items on the survey that I was extremely comfortable with.  However, I stated that I wanted more practice with Web 2.0 tools.  I learned a lot about the Web 2.0 tools throughout this course and feel very comfortable implementing them into my classroom.  I loved the assignment that required us to research 3 Web 2.0 tools and share them on the Google Doc with our group.  This allowed us to learn about many different Web 2.0 tools.  I have actually already started using 1 of them on my classroom.  I really enjoyed this course and I think it opened my eyes to even more technology items that I can implement within my classroom and school.
