Assignment # 7 Research Ideas

How can we implement new forms of technology into the classroom?
How can we evaluate the effectiveness of the new technology?
How much time do we allow students to have in class to use the new technology?
How do we ensure that all teachers are exposing their students to the new form of technology?
How can students access the new technology at home?


Potential methodologies would be:

to create a survey for students, parents, and teachers to see whether they would be interested in using the new technology, if they have the resources available to use it, and how comfortable they would be using it.

creating a treatment group and a controlled group of both students within one class and perhaps teachers from a school site. Comparing how students within the same classroom react and perform on specific academic task depending on the group they are in. Comparing classrooms of two exact grades where one teacher uses the new technology and the other doesn't.

I like your setup for a traditional expeiramental research question. What technolgoies would you be intereswted in comparing? I think it would be interestig to see the use of cell pphones for content delivery. We have seen some other articles related to using cell phones in the classroom.
