Core Questions
In your research course (EDF 600 or EDU 611) you studied categories of research including quantitative and qualitative methodology as well as action research. Hypothesize and describe an educational technology related research project you could conduct in your instructional environment. Describe which of these categories of research you would use and why this would be the best fit for your study. How would you focus your review of literature to support your research? What types of data would you collect and how would you collect these data? What issues do you think would arise in your study that you would need to address?
In creating an ideal technology environment, which seven technologies do you feel are absolutely necessary for the K-12 classroom? Justify your choices by citing current research (from peer-reviewed sources-books, journals, conference proceedings such as from http:www.aace.org). Describe the way(s) in which one would use this software to target and boost student achievement.

Just as you have a philosophy of education what is your philosophy of educational technology? You will need to define technology and how it fits within your framework of education. What specific technology or technologies has most influenced your philosophy of educational technology? Is this influence for better or worse? How would your philosophy of educational technology be different if the technologies you described as being influential had never been discovered/invented?
What is the instructional design model you traditionally use as the guiding format for the development of your instruction? Provide a description of the components/processes for this instructional design model based on the ADDIE conceptual process framework (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Give an example of how you utilize this instructional design model. Note: ADDIE is a conceptual process framework not an instructional design model, so do not select it as your instructional design model.
