I received some interesting feedback on
my action research blog. I am
researching the effectiveness of Promethean Boards on learning in the ELA
classroom. Kathleen Mansfield pointed
out that interactive whiteboards are used by the teacher 85% of the time and
that students have little interaction with the boards. While this wasn't a suggestion for change to
my ARP, I found this an interesting area to explore in my research. Joan Evans suggested I use surveys for
qualitative data. I do currently plan to
use surveys; however, Joan’s suggestion was to ask students about their
feelings towards interactive white boards.
I thought this was an interesting direction since teachers simply assume students like interacting with the IWBs. I have decided to include Joan’s questions
in my student survey. Likewise,
Kathleen’s comment gave me something to ponder, and I plan research teacher
versus student interaction with Promethean Boards. Once again, blogging is a great tool for getting thoughts flowing.
