AR Research Week 1
My action research project is based on the ARRA grant received by my school this summer. This grant is based on creating 21st century classrooms to increase test scores of at risk students. Through this grant 20 classrooms will receive interactive smart boards, student response devices (clickers), Flip Video Cameras, still digital cameras, and upgraded speakers and ceiling mounted projectors. I was chosen to have one of these classrooms and I am basing my AR project on the improvement of learning through use of technology, more specifically low-level learners. I am looking for an increase in test scores and overall student confidence.
The following image is a screenshot of the concept map I created using my first four sources in my research.
