Week two has been very informative and things are starting to make a lot more sense.  Action research has a great deal of benefits to campuses, districts, principals, teachers and communities.  I learned that you should find an area of interest and something that you find interesting.  Don't be afraid to do the research and look for the wealth of information that can be found that will help you be more successful.  I also realize based on the video links that the action research has to be practical.  It won't do anyone any good to come up with some type of elaborate plan that no one can use.  Be focused and ask for help!
