This week blog about what you believe you need to complete your research cycles this semester.
This experience thus far brings me mixed feelings. On one hand, I am loving the deep conversations, the enriching reading and podcasts, challenging my creativity and thinking brain, and meeting with colleagues and professors each week. To be honest, I admittedly embrace the stressful challenge. On the other hand, I feel like I accomplish so much each week but then I realize how much more I need to do. In order for me to maintain my sanity, I have to write lists and cross off what I have accomplished. The past few months, the list has been long and accomplished. Now that I am writing my new list, I am overwhelmed again. So, I am going to go with the flow. This has been a successful week. I have submitted my IRB, I have scheduled my Lit. Review with Amy, and I have started my research for my ARP. I am pleased to report that not only have I created all of my google form surveys and questionnaires, but I have sent them out to my colleagues at Snow Elementary, and I have given my students the general information survey and the pre-assessment. My next step is to teach a digital citizenship lesson next week. I plan on teaching 2 lessons a week because of the time crunch. I originally was thinking one a week, on Wednesday's when I have all of my students together, but I don't think this schedule is feasible due to schedule constraints. I am excited about the lessons because this is the fun part. I am looking forward to using the Digital Citizenship lessons through CommonSense.org. I think my students will love the interactive lessons and the new activities. Throughout the lessons, I will give my students short quizzes to collect data. Following the conclusion of the lessons, I will give my students the post-assessment to see what they have learned. Stay tuned...

Kimberlee! You are a great partner! I am glad we have had times to discuss our process and what we are going through in teaching and mastering our Literature Reviews and Research Paper. I know you are on the right track! All my best, Amy

Wow! Kimberlee, you really put into perspective all that you've accomplished so far. It seems like the theme this week is being overwhelmed with all the work, but I agree that if we go with the flow from week to week without focusing too far ahead, we'll get there. I am anxious to hear how your kids respond to the lessons. I was able to meet with kids for the first time for my project last week and it was so fun to hear their comments. Some were really unexpected. I think it will be fun when we all start getting results to share. I love the approach you're taking with this project!
