Creating Individual Action Plans

Objectives:

  • Create a timeline for participants investigations
  • Provide a forum for collaboration about potential classroom investigations
  • Formalize the process of data collection for the intended projects
  • Evaluate the ability of participants to successfully complete their intended investigations

Activity

  1. Ask each group to come up with an Action Plan for examining their question
  2. They will use the Action Plan Template on the group site to write a rough draft of their Investigation and post it on-line
  3. This may or may not include a technology lesson plan, but it must reflect on their current practices in the classroom
  4. This will be part of an on-going work, as it will require teachers to reflect and potentially change their initial questions

Action Plan Template

To make the process more streamlined, we posted a blank Action Plan template to the Yahoo Group that we created. We then had participants go on the site, fill in the template, save their changes, and upload it to the Yahoo Group. This was very effective, as it allowed partcipants to make changes during the month long break between sessions, and it allowed us to view all of the action plans in one location.
