The one thing that I enjoyed the most during the second week of our course is realizing that action research teaches us to get behind the wheel. We decide what topic or concern we would like to deal with and then we learn from what others had done. We digest the information to translate it and apply it to our particular situation. Another benefit of the inquiry process is that we don't have to wait for others to do something about our issue, we can do it ourselves! Because the action research starts with some self-reflection we have the benefit to choose a topic that we really like and this will help us to work harder, keep focused, and get the most out of it.
Finally, I would like to share a couple of videos. The first one is totally related to my project on how to use blogging to improve literacy skills and the second one should provide some fun math time to you all.
