Action, Action, Action Research

Our action research process in this format is very intriguing to me. Assuming that those collaborating on this project are ultimately qualified, (we each were, after all, accepted into this program) we differ from many collaberative groups in that we have little knowledge at this point on the various backgrounds and experiences of each of the participants. In reality, that just might be what makes the process work.

I akin action research to my own district's concept of spiraling curriculum. Together we can assess an issue, collaberate ideas, put a plan in place, and assess an outcome. If need be, we can go back and analyze either breakdowns in the plan, or analyze successes. The technological aspect of it is powerful in the respect that in very few other formats would I be able to collaborate with colleagues from outside my own district in such an open, non-threatening format. I look forward to learning from each of you. It seems the world truly is flat. :)
