I spent today reading Chapters 3,4, & 5 of a dissertation on communities of practice and social networking sites. I liked some of the questions and themes that I saw emerge in the data and plan to structure questions around some of those themes to see if that is true for school administrators like it is for teachers.
I would say formally and informally I have read 50 articles and three books with regards to Twitter. I have accumulated this many articles based on writing three different papers for doctoral classes on various uses of Twitter, and also have used in presentations that I have given at various conferences.
I now need to focus my attention on developing an outline and finding specific articles in the structure of my argument. I know I need to do further research on school administrators continual learning and professional development, specific learning theories with regards to communities of practice, and how social networking sites work.
Next steps: Find the selected articles from dissertation read in school journals and add to review of literature list.
