Final+Paper

I have been working rather steadily on my final paper in the last few weeks (November 26-present). I have found more peer-reviewed journal articles than anticipated and am now figuring out which articles have the best information about interactive whiteboards and student engagement. When I first started researching I had difficulty finding information, now I am having difficulty narrowing information down.

I have never done an action research plan, so am not quite sure how to proceed, so I need to make sure that I am using the correct format for my writing.

Here is the mindmeister map that I am using to get my ideas together. I will be adding a lot of information on in in the next few days, so am curious as to how it will look when I am finished. I have never used a concept map like this for writing, I usually use a written outline and fill it up with quotations. media type="custom" key="11558630"

Here is the reference list that I will be using for my final paper.
