Action Research EDLD 5301

Action Research Plan Question: Are students responding to curriculum based questions on slide show? Will slide show have an impact on school culture? Will student involvement increase due to announcements and student work displayed over slide show?

School Vision: Our vision is to increase student engagement and participation in campus organizations during lunch hours through slide show presentation that contains subject related material, TAKS trivia style questions, TEKS subject questions, student achievements, and announcements.

Goal: Our goal is to reach all grade levels with a technology driven slide show that is presented with educational material and campus related activities to increase student engagement.
