How Has the Literature Search Contributed to My Study?

At this point, the only "literature" I've read ABOUT iPod use has been the Wall Street Journal article (title: The Boss Puts the iPod to Work" ). But that article has proven to be quite powerful in terms of my thinking about how to apply iPod technology to staff development. One approach is to build capacity within our department when it comes to delivering the Application level trainings of our "High Yield Stategies" offereings. This is because there are a lot of modeling and metacognitive pieces to these sessions, and sometimes it takes a while to become more comfortable with articulating one's thinking (in the form of a think-aloud). Another possibility may be to offer video vignettes to participants so that they can review what they have seen. Since the Application level of High Yield Strategies (along with our soon-to-be-developed High Yield Focus Modules) zero in on processes, what better way to review a process seen at a workshop than to have access to video podcasts (from the workshop) that demonstrate these processes. Participants can then review what they want -- whenever they want it.
