What is SURE?

My name is Lindsay Bordonaro and I was awarded an opportunity to work with my professor Dr. Ludmila Smirnova in the Mount Saint Mary SURE program. You're probably wondering what the SURE program is and what it consists of. SURE stands for Student Undergraduate Summer Research. I will be conducting research specifically in the area of iPadagogy. iPadagogy is the expanding use of iPads in the classroom. I will have several teachers from several school districts take my survey. Once the teachers have completed the survey, I can see how many teachers use Web 2.0 and iPads in the classroom. If a teacher is against the use of Web 2.0 or iPads in the classroom, I would like the opportunity to interview that teacher and see what other concepts they are using instead.  My project will last for the entire month of June, and then in the fall of 2013 I will present at the SURE symposium.
