OLTD Outcomes Addressed:
In creating this document I was able to examine the current research around change management in both workplace and educational environments. This has really allowed me to become more interested in the topic for further elaboration as well as provide me with a good basis right now when I am working with changes in my educational environment. This also allowed me to develop the technical skills of properly researching and citing various academic sources.
The research was very interesting both because it provided me with some useful ideas for how other companies managed technological change but also because it allowed me to explore how I currently address change management in my role at work. I have begun to see the value in creating a culture around the change that I am proposing before moving forward with the actual planning and execution of that change. In addition, the importance of gaining a strong proponent in the senior administration was an interesting idea and one that I will try and bring forward the next time I am looking to integrate some new technologies into my school.
I am pleased with the beginnings of my inquiry action plan and look forward to developing it further. I was able to further develop my research and summarization skills in an academic setting which will serve me well not only in this program but also in my classroom. Being able to better find current pedagogical theory will assist myself and my students.
- Examine current research around best practices and emerging practices
- Integrate current cognitive learning and brain-based learning theory
- Critically assess and evaluate resources for best practice in online learning
