Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: E-mail to "catch-up." Dr. Chris Fritsen sent me a CD of our work. My research work did not complete the research. It was only one of the many steps involved. He said he would continue to keep me updated as to what goes on.
How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc?
This past year was consumed with ordering items for the Learning Trunks, organizing the materials, and advertising them to a teacher audience. I compiled applicable web sites, various lesson plan ideas, and packaged up each of the four trunks to send to 4 teachers who are responsible for lending them (the trunks) out. In December, I wrote the grant final report and sent to the Toshiba Foundation office. From what I hear from the teachers who have used the trunks, they have found them useful and packed full of information. The only complaint has been how extremely heavy the trunks are. :) I believe many students have benefited from my efforts, even more than I could reach on my own.
