* What you think you will get out of the project: I am very excited about my project. Some of the thing I know I will get out of my project is having experience the opportunity to expose my students to different models of learning. Children get very excited when they see thing that they create and share them with others. Part of my excitement will come with having the exposure and experience of using different media applications. This is my goal building in filling some of the drops in my bucket that I longed for. I love and enjoy children I think being a parent is one of the easiest jobs one can have. Being a person that has experienced the opportunity to use media applications to inspire others on using different methods for teaching and learn is one of the greatest awards in education. 

* What you think it will look like

I think my project will look like gold. The reason I say this is because our children are precious. They are in need of all strategies that can help them to maintain and grow academically.

* Do you think it will make a difference? Why?

Yes, I think the information in my project will make a difference. I know the children will be motivated. Students will feel and see success in their learning through the gains they receive on the CRCT test in 2010. They will leave 5th grade ready for middle school and more prepared for middle school than other students from past years. From my project students will be more experienced with media applications more so that some of their teachers who have never heard or used. My students will be ready for the real world of learning.

* How are your critical friends helping the process?

•How this month’s course is helping shape your ARP?

This months course is helping in different areas as far as shaping my action research project. One way is through Intelligence Reframed by Howard Garnder. I’m learning information on different learning styles and techniques as to how students and others thing and learn.
