Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteEDEM630 is a course on change with digital technologies in education.
Based on my reading of your draft essay plan, I think your topic is still too much on answering the question of learning games and ASD children rather than applying the research and models of change and technology adoption / diffusion as it relates to your research topic. I'm still missing the focus on change with digital technologies. Perhaps this is implied in your research topic or you have this clear in your mind -- but I'm missing the focus in your central research question. You'll need to keep this in mind when you start authoring your essay.
Keep up the good work -- I look forward to reading your essay.
Hey Wayne,
ReplyDeleteSorry I think I was a bit confused when I started writing the above. I have done the activity again, hopefully it is a bit clearer in relation to change.
