An Action Research Report on Improving Writing Skills
-
Abstract
-
Our research question was "How can we use blended technology with an interactive whiteboard, document camera, and distance learning equipment to improve the writing skills and social studies OGT scores of all students?" In our study, we found that providing a writing workshop at the beginning of the school year and using the interactive whiteboard and document camera to project rubrics and then having students grade writing samples of OGT answers provided numerous AH!HA! moments. From that point on, student writing samples showed a marked improvement from the previous year. Pre- and Post-Surveys, teacher journal entries, and critical colleague input showed that student interest and attitude toward social studies and writing improved when we used the interactive whiteboard, document camera, and distance learning equipment. However, the use of the blended technology did not help increase student attendance.
