The effects of Web 2.0 Training on Northbrook Middle School Project Update

My action research project is progressing ok at the moment.  At the end of last year my project was progressing very well, but thing have slowed down because I am on a new campus this year.   Over the next 6 weeks I plan to have it completed and reviewed by me and my site supervisor.  I have been looking at the effects of the districts web 2.0 training on my camps and the effects it had on teachers using them in their classroom.   I have found interning data so far from my conversation, interviews, and survey form teachers and staff.  One of my baggiest finding so for is that the district has provided classroom teachers with plenty of technology tools and some training to use them, but still has not yet found a way to get teachers to use them consistently in their classroom.   I still need to complete some more classroom observations and interviews before I will fill I have enough information to complete my project.   From my survey many teacher do not cite a lack of understanding hot to use the technology tools as a factory in them not using them, but many suggest time is the biggest factor in incorporating these tools into their lesson plans.   My principal is very interested in my finding because she knows that the district has spent a large amount of money on technology and it  will play a major role in student success in the future of education.  I am confident that I will be able to complete my plan in the next 6 weeks.
