Week 10

I have been working on my prototype and getting feedback from my colleagues. So far I have started my basic outline of my webpage, my tutorials for my project, and a few problem solving strategy guides. It has been a very busy week.

Week 9

I have completed my revisions for my masters proposal and am now working on my prototype. I presented a few of the powerpoint presentations I created to my 4th/5th class and have made several adjustments to them based on my students' responses. I am now working on creating more powerpoints for this project. This has been a very busy quarter for me.

Week 8

So on Monday I completed my IRB appliation as well as all of the CITI lessons and posted them onto blackboard. Then blackboard crashed and lost my posting, so now I am going to resubmit it. Isn't technology wonderful :)

Week 7

Well so far this week I have registered on the IRB website and have started reviewing the assignments. There is a lot of reading to do so I am trying to find time throughout the day to cover it all. I have reviewed the application and hopefully will be able to complete everything fairly soon.
I have also been working on my project, taking in the input Dr. Baek has provided and adjusted my storyboard to reflect her suggestions.
I have been working very hard this quarter and am struggling to complete everything on time.

Week 6

Well I'm just about done with my lit reviews and am almost ready to submit it. I hope I did it right because it was a lot of work and the thought of re-doing it is not good. After countless hours of reading and re-reading, highlighting and noting, I feel as if my brian has fried. I feel completely overwhelmed with all of the work but know that in the long run I will be glad I have completed it. With state testing going on right now my focus has been on my students and trying to fully prepare them for their icky test. But I have to remind myself that if they are not ready by now, drill and kill won't help them.

Week 5

What a hectic schedule I have had the last few weeks. Unfortunately I didn't make much time to complete my lit reviews. I have so much work to catch up on, my head is spinning. Hopefully I will be able to complete it all in time.

Week 4

Well this week I have been working on my lit reviews. There are so many sources to search that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am at least heading in the right direction since I selected my project topic. So much reading to do I'm not sure if I'll ever be finished. I have also been working on a few more powerpoints to add to my website. Hopefully I will be closer to completing my project soon.
