Week 3 Leadership Project Hub

      The purpose of my action research project was to find what avenues I could explore to help boost staff morale at my present school.  I also wanted to increase collaboration for new teachers by utilizing web 2.0 tools that will motivate and engage them so the idea of developing a mentoring program pop in my head.  So for my problem (boosting staff morale by increasing collaborating) my solution was to establish a mentoring program where new teachers would be paired with veteran teachers to collaborate using technology.  Now that my research was complete my next step was locating a journal that aligned closely with my action research.  I narrowed my search down to two journals.  I found both The Journalof Digital Learning in Teacher Education and Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education to meet the need for my action research project.  I choose these journals because both offer effective uses of technology. Each require a deep understanding of different content to ensure that future teachers are prepared to use technology effectively. The various tools used continue to advance and build upon prior work effort incorporating the new and emergent technologies of today.
