  5. I will be researching the level of Web 2.0 tool usage in Cisco Networking Academy classrooms. I want to examine the impact on student engagement in an environment that is already heavily focused on technology when these tools are used. I believe that using tools like wikis and blogs will really accelerate the learning for the academy students as well as give them a voice in the classroom. Once I have determined the current level of Web 2.0 usage I will design a series of trainings focused on increasing usage in the classroom.

  7. What professional developments are needed and available to The Cambridge School employees to develop and ensure collaboration as well as student and professional achievement and success?

    The reason I chose this section to enter my Action research plan is because part of the programming deals with behavioral placement program that incorporates PBIS and Classroom behavior management. The professional development needs will address these concerns and work in conjunction with PBIS.

  20. In my internship plan, I will head a committee "Technology Think Tank" to propose, evaluate, apply, and train (staff) primarily, but not exclusively, Web 2.0 tools to integrate in the curriculum. My action research will be the first step in this progress. The purpose of the inquiry is to determine the technology aptitude and attitude of the campus's educators in order to develop appropriate PD.
