Session 10

Home Stretch...... I am not as far on my storyboard as I wanted to be, but the storyboard is part of the plan to create a video and so I am still planning. I always think of storyboards as being like a comic book, but I just wanted to plan out what I want to include in my video and what topics I would need to cover as I created my resource video for iMovie. I hope I did what I was suppose to do for it??? I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Even though my blog doesn't sound like I have enjoyed this class, but in reality I have. I have always wanted to work more with the students and teach them the technology they have access to. Now this is in motion and I am getting the chance to do so more and more every day.

Session 9

Well this quarter has turned out to be one of the toughest quarters I have had. Two upper division master classes and it looks like I am not doing so well in them. I have only failed one class my whole life and I am trying my best to make that one my only mistake. These two classes I am taking require alot and I did not expect this much. I hope I pass both.

Anyway, I am continuing creating my storyboard for my final project while continuing collecting data and creating my final project for my other class. Whew, a lot of work but I have a plan to work every night until the work is done. I had to buy more duct tape to tie me down with, but money well spent if I pass these classes. Also trying to see if I can boost my grade on my other assignments to help with my grade. Well I hope everyone is doing better than I am and hope everyone has a good week!

Session 8

Well after I took a big breathe and looked at the work again, I finally think I caught up in the class and now I can stay on top of the class for the last two weeks. I am so relieved now and I am gonna try to stay on top of the class! Lets see if I can accomplish this.

Right now I am working on a storyboard for my project and I am still teaching the first group of learners and collecting the data needed for the storyboard. But hopefully in the next two weeks I can get a rough storyboard created for this class.

Thanks to Dr. Newberry for all his help through this class.

Session 7

Well I am officially gone crazy..... I thought I was only a week behind, but now trying to catch up looks bleak! I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but the dates are catching up to me and I am not on track. Trying to finish the IRB requirements and now I have to look at the project proposal plans. Geez, I am falling further in the hole with each passing week. I am amazed how everyone is able to do this. Well got to get back to work... Until next week, hope everyone is doing better than I am.

Session 6

Whew! Almost have a handle on my lit. review, but I am so behind in this class. I always feel like I am playing catch up. Anyways I am finishing my lit review because I am a procrastinator because I always think "there's always tomorrow," but that wears thin and now I am late and playing catch up to the class. I am kind of enjoying the class, but at the same time not getting the work done. Hopefully by this week I will have caught up and be able to be on time and keep up with the class. I don't know how the rest of my classmates do it, but I am trying to hang in there and do the best I can. Hope it is enough. Until next time, hope everyone is doing better then I am at this point.

Session 5

Well, after a whole roll of duct tape (suggestion of Dr. Newberry), I have almost completed my Lit review. I taped myself to the chair and started typing. I think it was Eman who commented on my blog last week about having the same trouble, but when she started typing, then she felt better about it. I kindof felt that way sometimes. I am just having trouble now looking at a screen. I work with computers at work, I come home and watch one of my favorite shows on the T.V. screen, then I do some homework on the computer. I am not going to have eyes by the time I get my masters. Well I turned in what I had for my lit review into Dr. Newberry, but I am continuing to work on the rest so I can turn it in to him ASAP. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and comments.

Session 3 and 4

After much frustration and million (upon millions) of e-mails back and forth to Dr. Newberry I finally (YEA) got my three topics for my lit review, now I am battling with myself to sit down and write the darn thing. I am finding things to distract me from getting my work done. My web browser would some how (unknown to me)(j/k) go to facebook, log me in and look at what my friends are doing. Then I would think my room is a mess and I would start cleaning my room. Then I would text everyone on my phone to see what they are doing. Now I'm in a rush to get the lit review done and I can't find a good place to sit and concentrate without distractions. This is turning out to be a three ring circus and I am a kid with ADHD and can't focus on one thing. Yikes, well this is turning into one of the things now distracting me from getting my lit review done, so until next time..... I need to get back to work.
