Three Possible Action Research Topics

I have narrowed it down to three possible topics, but I am open to change:
  • investigate the culture and practice of staff development and its relationship to the "stickiness" of technology initiatives at NBHS (link to similar study: http://eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED486685.pdf)
  • find the best mode for implementing inquiry-oriented teacher learning communities centered around 21st century instruction at NBHS (related *articles attached)
  • make collaborating on instruction, via an online discussion board, a "habit of mind" for NBHS teachers (link to example: http://ncte2008.ning.com/forum/topic/list)
Let me know what you think.
