The best strategy for Amanda would be to consider what interests her related to educational practice and start with that. This will allow her to choose a topic that she is passionate about and has some knowledge of, making the research process more engaging and less daunting. Asking other students, looking through journals, and doing a general internet search may help to spark ideas, but ultimately Amanda should choose a topic that she is interested in and can put her own unique spin on.
