EdJournal issue 1 is about to be published by @jamesmichie, @drdennis and @dajbelshaw. Educational research does not influence classrooms except through initiatives that are resource heavy and hard to disseminate. (McIntyre, D. Bridging the gap between research and practice, Cambridge Journal of Education Vol. 35, No. 3, November 2005, pp. 357-382). Will Ed Journal be any different? Action research reports by teachers for teachers. http://sites.google.com/a/edjournal.co.uk/edjournal/articles
