And so it goes..

So, I continue to check in with my personal learning network and view any interesting news and updates. Again, I find it extremely hard to keep up with everything, but it seems like it is a slow learning process to be able to filter what to read vs. what not to read. There is an overwhelming amount of information when I use Google Reader to view updates to the sites that I subscribe to.

Another area that I am now concentrating more of my effort on is that of my research project. I really want to do an Action Research using the Smartboard; however, I'm not quite sure if my Smarboard will be installed anytime soon. Rather than bank on it and be stuck without any research of my own, I may choose to do a Literature Review. I will continue to use my personal learning network to stay up to date about any research regarding interactive whiteboards and special education students. I have already read some articles about some great FREE programs that are available online for whiteboards, including PBS kids. There seem to be so many ways to engage students using a Smartboard, which I think can definitely stimulate my students.

Well, another week goes on as I continue to find information about my potential research topic. As a side note, I requested an article from a library in Georgia (I think it was Georgia..) and it came in today...! The research has begun...
