Literature Review in Progress

I have been searching for articles for the Literature Review assignment. This step has been time consuming, but it has provided a lot of information that I did not know about my topic. By reading the articles I was able to select the three areas that I need to include in the Literature Review.

Thanks so much for the comments that I have received from some classmates. The suggestions have been very helpful.

Pre-Thesis

I have decided to work on the project that I developed for ETEC 544. When I started to work on the Pre-Thesis Paper, I realized that it needs further development. It seems overwhelming all the information that I need to include on the Pre-Thesis. My state of stress is increasing even more because I still need to decide if I want my project to be an online tutorial or just a document tutorial. I have posted the Pre-Thesis paper on my website. I would appreciate suggestions.

ETEC 644: Blog 1

Hello

My name is Maria and this is my third quarter taking courses for the Instructional Technology program. For my topic I might work on the needs of new elementary teachers. Specifically on the needs of learning how to write the appropriate daily lesson plan for specific schools. I have learned that many new teachers are not aware of the appropriate daily lesson plans that their school requires. My topic would discuss how to approach and solve this matter.

My progress to this date are the following. I have many new teachers who are willing to participate in my survey. I already have 3 articles for my literture review. I have a Design Plan but need to convert it into online program. I have started the Analysis Plan.

I hope that what I have already obtained for my topic is guiding me to the right direction for this course.
