Planning for Action Research
•Initial planning for action research
includes:
•Identifying and limiting a topic
•Gathering information related to
the topic
•Reviewing related literature
•Early stages are crucial in any research
project
•Lays the “groundwork” for all that follows
•Nothing shapes the remainder of a study
as much as specifying the topic or problem
•Problems with being too broad or vague,
or being too narrow
•Possible topic areas:
•A teaching method or
instructional materials
•Classroom management
•Identifying a problem
•Examining an area of interest
•Once a topic has been identified, it
should be evaluated against several practical considerations:
•Personal interest in the topic•Importance of the topic•Time requirements for conducting the study•Anticipated difficulty of the study•Potential monetary costs•Issues related to ethics in conducting research

▶ Action Research in Education. - YouTube
What is action research? Dr Carol Davenport describes how action research in education can be applied as part of a continuous professional development programme for science education in schools and colleges.
The network of Science Learning Centres run a number of courses which include elements of action research.
John Elliott (1991) defines action research as:
“Action research is the process through which teachers collaborate in evaluating their
practice jointly; raise awareness of their personal theory; articulate a shared conception of
values; try out new strategies to render the values expressed in their practice more consistent with educational values they espouse; record their work in a form which is readily available to and understandable by other teachers; and thus develop a shared theory of teaching by research practice.”

Education Online The Latest State of Research
There are both pros and cons of online education.
Online learning should be seen as a complement and extension of classical forms of learning. Not even the best online course can fully replace the personal contact with a teacher, or the human relationships that develop in a group.
All in all, traditional classes should not be replaced with online learning.

Halina's Conversational English Video
This is my opening
class for Halina’s Conversational English Course on WizIQ.
I created this video to make it possible for everyone to get
familiar with Virtual Classes and online teaching. You can see how I use the
tools available on WizIQ.
I am very sorry about the quality of the recording. It is
obvious that I have to improve my technical skills.
I am counting on your empathy and support.
Enjoy…..

Science of Learning
This is an excellent presentation
The mission of the newly formed Science
of Learning Institute is to understand the most essential part of our
human capital: the ability to learn. The Institute supports research and
application that seeks to understand learning at all levels of
scientific inquiry—including how the brain changes through learning, how
development and aging affects our ability to learn, how neurological
and psychiatric diseases disrupt or change learning, and why there are
such vast individual differences that naturally occur among learners. A
central part of the mission is to understand how new technologies such
as machine learning and new educational programs can optimize
learning—whether it occurs in the informal setting of the playground,
the more formal setting of a school, a rehabilitation program, or
on-the-job training.

I followed the instructions and set my course; https://www.wiziq.com/course/95228-halina-s-conversational-english

Brian Boneham, United
Kingdom
Nives Torresi, Italy
Jakub Kalinowski,
Poland
Guadalupe Ortega, Mexico
María Jesús García San Martín, Spain
Prem Kumar Behera, Indie
Generally speaking, it was supposed to be an introduction to the values of being fluent
in English as well as how not to learn foreign languages to escape from
widespread learning mistakes.
I was presenting my teaching and learning experience and we were talking about our tutoring methods and discussing a value of English for communication approach.

Teaching with Technology: Week 1
What does teaching with technology mean to you?
To me teaching with technology means development of my approaches.
Making my classes more challenging and more exciting was my reason to search for the different methods.
After over thirty years of teaching, I felt bored with my traditional technics and wanted
to find some inspiration, as well as improvement.
Happiness is when... You Learn with Technology ?

Bon Jovi - ** Blue Christmas ** Live [HQ]
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
(Instrumental Break)
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
Yes, I'll, I'll have a blue, oh Christmas

"Weird" Al Yankovic - Amish Paradise
What is – "Paradise" –
What
is – "Paradise" –
Who
live there –
Are
they "Farmers" –
Do
they "hoe" –
Do
they know that this is "Amherst" –
And
that I – am coming – too –
Do
they wear "new shoes" –
in "Eden" –
Is
it always pleasant – there –
Won't
they scold us – when we're hungry
–
Or
tell God – how cross we are –
You
are sure there's such a person
As
"a Father" – in the sky
–
So
if I get lost – there – ever –
Or
do what the Nurse calls "die" –
I
shan't walk the "Jasper" –
barefoot –
Ransomed
folks – won't laugh at me –
Maybe
– "Eden" a'n't so
lonesome
As
New England used to be!
F241
(1861) 215
We
learn here that Dickinson found New England “lonesome.”
