While I am on a short break between stock shows I will take this opportunity to reflect on my experience in EDLD 5301 Action Research. I have learned that there is a difference between traditional and action research, and what those differences are. We, as educators, have been engaged in action research since we began teaching—whether we knew it or not. This awareness has enabled me to identify need areas within my campus that would benefit from a structured action research activity. Another area of realization is the usefulness of blogs. I now have an appreciation for blogs as a pathway to communication between educational professionals and to the entire school community. I must admit that this course has been much more interesting and thought-provoking than I had initially anticipated. My first impression of “research” was not flattering, however I have learned to view it from a different perspective.
