Although I think of myself as somewhat "computer savvy" I have found out there is still so much that I do not know. I have been with HRD for the past few months and during this time I have been utilizing Blackboard, EBOLT, and now the I-Pod LC. I am excited to learn as much as I can regarding technology and the way it can be incorporated in educating students as well as helping to make our jobs and trainings more effective. As a member of the new Effective Schools Program I feel it is essential to be abreast of any new ways to effectively increase productivity in our schools. My action research is to find a way to display portions of the trainings we do regarding the One Voice Program as well as display the positive activities we are part of in schools. I would like to display the trainings and school sites via podcast at least once a month. I would then like to incorporate a monthly eBolt session open to the district where they could log in and ask any questions they may have reagrding High Yield Strategies, 7 Correlates, 8 Step-Process, etc.
