Final Reflection

 Throughout this entire project I have learned a lot not only about the research process but about my class and topic as well. This project has made me want to explore more technology based research. There are so many different questions that I have thought about and would like to collect data on. Most of the data I collected came out the way that I thought it would with students today. It was amazing to see the results. When you actually put them into a graph and see them it is shocking. This project has made me want to find new ways to try and use technology in my assignments, even more than what I already do. Technology is what kids are surrounded with so I think we should use that you our advantage. One of the things that I would like to take a look at is how technology helps keep students focused. When I would do a lesson without technology I would usually have some sort of behavior or attention issue but when we used the computers in a lesson the students were more engaged. I would like collect some teacher observations on students attentiveness.  This entire process has help me become a better teacher and has helped me to understand what researched based books are written about. I have enjoyed working on this project and will continue to collect data as the year goes on.
