Leggo, Carl; Sinner, Anita E.; Irwin, Rita L.; Pantaleo, Kathy; Gouzouasis, Peter; Grauer, Kit – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2011

This is in contrast to our initial intentions of using ethnographic techniques and qualitative methods. As we began our project, it became apparent that another lens…

Balcaen, Philip – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2008
In this paper, I describe a professional development approach and a conceptual framework used to create critically thoughtful and media-rich science learning resources.
