When I Think of Research

     Thinking of  research made me  cringe and freeze up thinking to myself, oh no I can't do that it is too difficult. However after taking this course that walked us through the research simulation  step by step I feel slightly more adequate and able to say well maybe with this framework as my foundation  I could begin such an adventure . More than anything I have gained a greater respect and understanding for research and its place in the classroom. I now embrace the position that research "is about relationships between researchers and participants and equity and social justice should be considered from start to finish"(Mac Naughton,2010,p.187).

     I want to thank all of my classmates and fellow bloggers for all the encouragement and discussions we shared. I wish everyone a fabulous and peaceful Holiday and look froward to engaging with you in the New Year
