Reflection for Week3

Though I am on week four, I am writing week three's reflection because week three's progress makes more sense to me now that I am working through week four. In week three I was able to organize my thoughts and get to the specifics about what I would do for my research project. But my notions seemed vague and I found myself repeating information. However, since getting more clarity on the fact that this project will be ongoing and like a living document that must be tended, maintained, and adjusted for; I am actually getting becoming more focused upon what I should do in my project. I know that I am going to develop new curriculum in my classroom using Google, and that I will be gathering all kinds of information along the way, but I have not yet thought through what my goal will be. A colleague suggested that I should add my goal to my action research plan template, and because it was good advice, I am reflecting upon what my goal is exactly and how will I know when I have gotten there? I know that I want to further my student's 21st century skills in technology, and further my classroom to meet technology requirements as designed by the state, but I am still asking myself how will I know when I have reached these goals. Will it be when I have integrated the skills with the subject matter? will it be when I assess the students on the knowledge that they have acquired? will it be when the students fill out a refection paper for me giving their thoughts and opinions about the unit? By asking these questions I am still inquiring, which proves to me that this project is progressing and living as I implement, reflect, and solve.
