I have certainly gotten insightful feedback from the discussion board. From week 1, Christopher Granger confirmed the need for my research by commenting: “I think this is a great idea. According to my site supervisor there are bullying cases in the court system right now. With the advancement of technology I think this may be the tip of the ice burg as kids can be relentless.”
Chad Holder in our week 2 discussion board echoed the need for my research as well as added some insight on ‘honor based courses’ sorely needed with his comment: Very interesting idea!! I don't believe that there is anything such as honors courses anymore ... all the group work and the study halls and kids just do a few problems while others do a few and then they swap papers and fill in the blanks!!”
In the week 3 discussion Shawn Jensen weighed in with his observation that ‘cheating’ has become a society wide epidemic! He commented: “This sounds like very interesting and involved undertaking that will really provide you with some great information. Cheating is becoming all to prevalent in our society, and sadly often times goes unrecognized/unpunished. Whether it is through plagiarism or using a program to flick answers from one IPhone to another, some students give little thought to producing ethical work but rather look for the easy road. I look forward to your results. They could potentially impact many other campuses as well.”
In the week 4 discussion board concerning challenges that I would face in my research journey I found Elizabeth Rasch comment that: “I am glad to see that I am not the only one with the same dilemma. I am hoping that my time line will help me keep track of it all.” It is comforting to see that others face the same challenges I do.
Finally, in my week 5 discussions, Misty Chesnut confirms what I had hoped would be the case as I completed this course. She commented: “You certainly seem like you've taken a lot from the course. I agree - I have always felt overwhelmed by curriculum development as well. It is great that your experience has already led you to seek out changes in your own thinking to become a better educational leader. Maintaining that openness and willingness to grow as a leader will surely serve you well as an educator and an administrator. I'm also very interested in seeing your action research data, my topic is also related to classroom ethics.” I do feel that I have taken a lot from this course and relish the upcoming opportunities to use this knowledge to become an effective educational leader.
