Research- putting my money where my mouth is

This year I have decided to complete my Masters of Educational Leadership by undertaking a dissertation. I have decided to do this for two reasons.... One I am in control of what I research, which means that I will be able to apply what I learn to my school context. Secondly I am going to be researching a topic I am very passionate about. The topic I have formed is investigating school leaders perceptions toward digital technologies and hen looking at how this is being implemented in their schools. I have elected to investigate new schools (2-6 years) I. The hope that this will mean I can concentrate on beliefs, values, principles and practices rather than outlining the pitfalls and barriers. Ironically early in my study I am finding digital technologies to be invaluable. Already I have utilised two apps on my iPad mini- pocket and scratch works. Pocket is an amazing tool that allows you to cache websites or articles to view and read offline in your own time, whilst scratch works allows you to take notes whilst viewing a webpage. I hope to keep a record of my progress and reflections here- any comments or assistance will be gratefully received!
