So far, one of the first things that I have learned about my research is that students can collaborate with each other to finish a project using tech tools. Especially if they get to work with people that they choose to work with. I did notice that from the two groups, control group and the treatment group, the results might be about the same. I mean that I haven’t ran the numbers in the tests we’re supposed to report into our paper, but from the data I have collected from the pre and post-tests it seems like the treatment doesn’t do too much a difference. How much did the treatment answer my question? Well, that is yet to be determined, hopefully in a week or two.
I wasn’t able to do everything I wanted to do in my action research. One thing I wanted to try was to see if I had students blog amongst each other, if that would enhance critical thinking skills and literacy skills among my ELL’s. If I would to extend this project I would consider doing just that next time. The results that I have collected indicate that I should provide students with further resources that they can access outside of class. I am not talking about homework but possibly a flipped teaching structure. That way students can focus on the project and any tasks in class while they have the opportunity to ask questions and practice the 4 C’s in the classroom.

While it looks like the treatment didn't really have an impact, it looks like you have a plan if we continue this over the course of the program. The blog idea is an interesting one in that it would probably help students think their way through the assignment that they are working on. I like the idea of coming up with different ways to have students work on those projects and tasks in class so that when they're confused, there is someone there to answer their questions.

I ran into the same problem. Time. I like your potential plan to extend your project. Interested to see your results
