Week 2---Don't be scared!!!!

After going through week two's activities, I feel a little less overwhelmed.  Just the word "research" is intimidating to me so I was a bit uneasy about this course.  The interviews really helped ease my intimidation because it helped me to feel that we're not alone when doing this research.  We don't have to come up with every bit of it ourselves.  There are others out there that have dealt with similar situations on similar campuses and we can read about those or even contact those involved when doing our research.  Also, we don't have to be alone on our campuses either.  We can use our colleagues for help.  We can ask other teachers for their input and assistance!  Also from this week, I have found out the wide variety of areas that action research can benefit.  It really doesn't matter what part of the school.  If there's an issue, a problem, or a simple curiosity we can use action research to come up with help.
