APA Paper

The APA paper was designed by collaborating with fellow classmates and using the Owl at Purdue website in order to write a "trial" research paper. The paper comprised of the procedure, method, results, and a table which displayed results. The paper was a little confusing to write because I was still confused about the standard deviation and the significant difference based on the T-test. This paper will help me for future professional developement because I will have better knowledge on formatting my papers that are completed for professional developement or school purposes. I will also be able to better help my students with citing papers they may need to submit in a Special Education classroom. The paper helped me learn how important it is to have peers to collaborate with and learn from when completing challenging assignments. The NETS standards is standard 3: Model Digital Age Work and learning because by learning better ways to communicate research, we can transfer knowledge of this and hopefully using new technology. Also we are comminicating effective ideas and research through Action Research Projects. Standard 5: Professional Growth and Leadership is another standard we are meeting because we are demonstrating self-renewal in teaching by relearning different ways to display data.
