  1. This is a very interesting topic to introduce to a school. I have been wondering how Google Education Apps could be incorporated into our middle school as well. I will be following your research closely as a result. There is only one thing I would suggest for your action research plan. You may wish to consider adding your project goal to your plan. I can see a presentation above the plan, but it will not play on my computer. Perhaps your goal is there. For those of us who are unable to view it, you may wish to consider adding it.
