Action Research Plan Reflection

Upon beginning my action research course, I wasn't sure what to expect.  I thought I was going to research on a designated topic and present a report at the end of the course.  I never expected to learn all that I have learned and comprehend the benefits of action research.  As the weeks passed, I obtained a better understanding of the process and was able to narrow down my topic.  One of the biggest problems I encountered was that I wanted to do too much at once.  I forced myself to narrow down my topic and be very specific so I can conduct an effective action research project.  I have so many other topics that I want to research, but will be taking it one at a time.  The biggest surprise I got from learning about action research was the beneficial use of blogs.  I had only once participated in a blog before and I really didn't know what I was doing and now I feel that I can effectively navigate and obtain highly knowledgeable comments from my peers that will continuously help me improve my project.
