EDLD 5301 Week 4 Reflection on Week 3 Comments

       In reviewing the comments made on my Action Research Plan published in my blog in  Week 3, I discovered four different topics discussed.  One topic was characterized by the following quote, “Your plan seems well thought out and constructed.  I will be watching to see how it turns out.”  Several were interested in seeing the research progress as it is.  They thought that it did not need any big changes.  (I hope that that will be the case.)  Another common area that was discussed concerned the need for a well thought out website at a DAEP campus.  Several thought that a good website at a DAEP campus would be a good resource for students and parents.  That it would take some of the mystery and anxiety out of their initial experience. I concurred with their sentiments. Another topic that was written about had to do with the common elements of school websites.  It was mentioned that a large district might have design guidelines that would dictate the elements that would be used in a new school website.  I immediately remembered that my district had some design guidelines, but were minimal and that it would not affect the action that would be taken after the research.  Lastly, a comment or a question was posed; “I wonder if you find that parents of students at a DAEP school access the website often or use it as a primary source of information.” I have had the same wondering.  I would like to consider that as a follow up to the present action research.
       The comments seemed to encourage me to continue with my action research plan and that my school would benefit from the research.  Further, the comments pointed to a future wondering that could be researched.  Overall, I thought the comments were constructive and beneficial.
