Educational Technology
Educational technology is a field of education that investigates the process of designing and shaping instructional materials to upgrade learning and teaching. Education technology is the future goal that I just want to work on to change faces of education. Educational technology is a resolution to the education problems and that is why I decided to study it to inspire people, and also to design education in technology and increase the value of education.
I want to work as an educational technology officer. Am having a degree in education studies and a degree in education technology. The website I have reviewed the educational videos with is a non- profit website. One item I found on the website is that it hosts users and showing high definition information to the subscribers, which will allow the user to understand everything about the information he/she is looking for. These website charges are depending on which information you are looking for and helps the users to search for information about their choices with a lot of confidence (Chase, 2012). I usually choose this website because of how organized it is to the users and the transparency of information that users gather from this website. It is clear to its information and video structures. The website has also had good content which is accurate, fresh and well organized, it is using proper grammar and is correcting the web visitor where he has to be collected for the visitor gather the required information. It also has well -planned pages and which is easy to use and proper utilization of the links by a web visitor. It ensures that key services are simple to locate.
The topic supports my future professional as educational technology officer who is having countless aims in boosting education in the country and all over the world. Websites currently have boosted the education programs in the world which has inspired me and make me set my goals on education. However, the website has boosted student's confidence, through participation and performance and secures the abilities to work hard on their duties. This is due to the way the website is making learning simple and become like fun. The website has given me ways of finding solutions in my academics (Januszewski, 2013).
Through online discussions and assignments, it has increased interaction with other students, Educational technology will help me to achieve my future goals through the government investment in new technologies that are helping and boosting education sectors in the country and help people to achieve their goals. The website has forced the government to change the styles of learning and decided to join the new technologies and new styles to give people the chance to utilize their goals and talents in the education sector. Websites have strengthened the education systems and create new possibilities for the people who want to achieve their dreams and attain their goals in life (Rognerud, 2014).
This topic supports my future goals, according to the website that I used to review the videos with has high support to me and other people who have future dreams and want to achieve goals. After reviewing the video, transparency is the major reason that is making me believe that with online learning people will be able to achieve their future goals and those who are working out to their current goals. The current goal achievers are also sorted out by the website to find resolutions of their goals.

Action Research
The action research study is a method that teachers use to find solutions in a way of researching their practice to tackle solutions in the field of education. The action research should be done by someone who belongs to that environment and he/ she should be someone who knows the environment or field of an organization better. An action research study that is being used by teachers in the classroom is because that teacher knows the environment well and he/she knows every student weakness in academic performance. Action research can also be used by peoples directly in the field of an organization he/she is working or living (Sagor, 2010). In education, action research can be defined as a method that is used to tackle the problem within the organization. Action research has promoted education in the society and clarified some modern systems that develop actions strategies and putting the methods in the practice which has helped most students to achieve their goals in the future.
Teachers use action research in classroom to help them to have better hands-on contact with the students to find solutions in the results that every student in the class is performing in particular question (Stringer, 2013). The reason why I choose this topic is that it has helped the education sector and it has boosted the valuable education to the classroom and it has helped the whole class to achieve and fulfill their goals. Action research has supported my future goals as a student and it has helped me to recognize the way of looking solutions in education and it has created love in the classroom and also created love between teachers and students. Also, action research has helped me to reflect on my practices of achieving my future goals and also valued the conduct education settings and it is simple to plan the actions.
