Technology Overload!

Webquests! Hotpotatoes! Sharepoint! Blogs! Smartphones! Ipads! Dropbox! Hyperlinks! Internet Access! Webct! Assignments Due Soon!

I have a good idea :)

I have a good idea for my research paper.  It's going to be on how ESL teachers can document English language learners using mobile technology (smart-phones and electronic tablets), so parents can be more involved in their student's academic pursuits.  The teacher will communicate the documented process of learning through a password encrypted blog.  The research will answer two questions:  Will parents be more involved from reading the blogs with the mobile technology documentation?  Will student achievement levels will rise due to the greater parent involvement?

Research Proposal Anxiety

I have a research proposal due next week and it is seriously stressing me out.  I am having a lot of trouble deciding on what to write about.  I have a few ideas but they all seems not to have much literature that supports those ideas.  I would like to write a proposal that involves TESOL.  I am finding it very challenging to do a literature review and create a hypothesis that interest me. Help!

I got a reply from my acceptance email and the orientation will be June 6th.  They hired two other instructors.  I will fill out some papaer work and receive the text book. Yes!
