Research+Method

( I am still learning how to use the wiki. I will seek help tomorrow from coworkers) I just wanted to give you the information to comment on so you don't get behind because of me.
===I have to see things in black and white which makes me look at experimental quantitative approach. As I look at the direction I am going I can see where I will gather groups based on several types of information and then use the same instructor with provided technology to present to one group and instruction without the technology for the teaching of a unit. As I look at pretest and posttest, I will gather information to help me look at progress made by both groups. As Johnson and Christensen (2008) state on page 312, pretest-posttest control-group design is an excellent design. It involves two groups. One groups is controlled and the other is experimental. I think my research findings would be better if using this type of approach. If I find that I cannot collect similar data on two groups, I will have to fall back on quasi experimental, but at present, I think I will be able to justify groups to use int he pretest-posttest control-group design. I am still thinking and studying which technology integration I will actually use. I think blogging would probably be one I would like to see used and find if the integration affects student learning.===
