Change in Action Research Topic

I really am interested in finding out if e-books would be more efficient, beneficial, and economical to use over text books, but this topic is a much bigger project than I could undertake. In collaboration with my site supervisor and our assistant principal, we decided we would like to try to get a solid lunch detention program in place. My question is, will an isolated, firmly supervised lunch detention reduce attendance in detention and repeat offenders, all the while, providing a better learning environment in the classroom by reducing the number of minor behavior problems that require lunch detention assignment.

I am looking forward to assessing this and finding out if my hypothesis is correct.

How educators might use blogs

Educators can use blogs as a source of communication to parents and students on supplies, downloads and links. Teachers can use blogs to converse with students and students converse with each other. Educators can publish newsletters or updates and allows editing easily. Students can post work and thoughts about lessons. Educators can share lesson plans. Extra curricular activities can use it to keep up with dates times and events.

What I have learned about action research and how to use it

Action research is a method of investigation with 4 steps that continues over and over as a work in progress.  Action research is a self reflective study.  This type research is to help oneself find current issues within their own environment, collect relevant data from their environment, analyze their data and read relevant materials that address similar issues and studies, make applicable changes with the new understanding, continue to reevaluate and share results. The insight gained of why one does what they do and what results are being obtained once the action research is being done results in educators making better choices and with being emerged in all aspects of research increases the probability of change based on results determined throughout the process because they are come tell involved throughout the whole research process.  This process takes out the feeling of just implementing "outsiders" findings who are detached from the educators individual environment and dynamics.  Educators need to be problem solvers not just facilitators as dynamics change within a classroom often if not daily by period.  The benefits of action research include educators are using real life practices to themselves. Educators are investigating their own problems. Also, educators are emerged in the process from beginning to end resulting in them buying into needed changes with results in them implementing needed changes.
