RESEARCH ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Technology has grown so much within the past few years. Many schools require that children use the Internet to complete assignments and projects. While some students are using the Internet to browse social networks there are many that use it for educational purposes. There are online database and educational games available. My 10 year old daughter loves to use the computer but waits all day before doing homework. In order to get her focused with school, I decided to make homework fun for her. She uses many math game cd-roms to help her learn the required material for class. I noticed that her grades have improved with allowing her to use the computer and play educational games.
I believe this was a great technique for me to try and it has helped my family a lot.

MY PERSONAL RESEARCH JOURNEY

The topic that I chose to focus on is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Early Childhood Education (ADHD). Educating children with ADHD can be overwhelming as well as a distraction to the other children. I am interested in this topic because I need a solution on how to solve behavior issues with children that has ADHD. I have never encountered any children with such behavior issues. I know that there are strategies and ways to prevent this chaos in the classroom and I want to know how. Can any of my colleagues can provide me with any insights, if so please do.

I understand that the information from constructing the research chart will be beneficial for me as I gain an understanding of what is expected during the research process. The research chart will also help me to understand the different terminology that is used during the research process.
