We've only just begun...

The process of coming up with an idea for our team Action Research has been interesting. At times, it has been a bit frustrating to figure out what we're supposed to be doing and what our team as a whole would like to pursue as a project. I think we're finally moving in a common direction. The idea of Digital Footprint Awareness (DFA) seems to be something we are all interested in. We came to the common thought that DFA needs to come from the top down...from teachers to students. So we are now examining what a DF is, how it can be utilized as a professional, and why educators need to be aware of a DF. Students often follow the lead of their teachers, so it is important as an educator to be aware of your presence in "digital/web world" and how it can be a useful tool both professionally and educationally (maybe these are really the same).

Be sure to check back for more as we continue this Action Research Process.
