#37 Announcement- Research Opportunity

Hello WC folks,

There is an ETSU research opportunity (see below) for you (undergraduate-senior, junior) and me. If you have some ideas and want to develop a research study, you may consider that. Also, if you think that I could be one of your collaborators, please let me know and I would be interested in part of it.

In addition, I will submit another proposal to compete the grant. Currently, I have several research/instructional interests with some science teachers at the University School of ETSU. We would like to develop a web-based platform learning environment (e.g. like we are using the Class Blog in the course) on the level of K-12 education. I would also like to take this action from a research perspective and would love to invite some of you to join a research team. If you are interested in the idea or have any questions, please email me and we can discuss further.
