My leadership project is a presentation that showcases
highlights from my Action Research Project. The AR project is entitled “Using
Edmodo and Video Podcast to Increase Engagement Among DMA
Students.” It focuses on the how a social learning management system and customized
videos helped to increase retention of core design concepts, provided a place
for students to network and collaborate with each other and the instructor, and
offered 24/7 access to assignments, grades, calendars, and discussion posts.
This experiment in blended learning demonstrated what proposed in the
Literature Review – that students prefer a blended learning experience and that
teachers could make more efficient use of class time when blended learning is
incorporated into the curriculum.
My plan is to present this project at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference
or at the Christa McAuliffe
Technology Conference. These two conferences
are still in line with my interest in 21st century educational
technology, but allow for submission of presentations. In my earlier leadership posts, I had chosen
other conferences because my initial project was a paper. Here are the links to my previous Leadership Project posts:
