Its HUMP DAAAY YEAH-UH

Thank you Amy for that one, telling me that we are half way completed. (Then you said you would tell me anything I needed to here) Well it worked. I do feel better, but knowing there is still a lot of road out there to travel to completion.
I turned my Lit Review in on Wednesday, right on time ...... 11:50 PM.  lol  Needed that extra time. Like I stated in my previous blog I conducted the surveys I need for the needs assessment. Analyzing the data now from that and am writing the section for the research paper. I received feed back on the Lit review and will be making the necessary improvements and adjustments to that section of the paper.

 I kinda feel like this guy here. Well, only a few days left for the literature review part (Chapter 2) of the paper is due. Still a ways to go. Worked on the writing of it all day yesterday after finally getting some useful  reviews found and read/analyzed. Finding it very trying to show consistently the source of your information. Just when you think you're good to go, more research trying to show sources for your beliefs!   

I also had my students today take a survey so I can also be working on and turning in the needs assessment part. When are we at the hump part of this paper? Anyone please ....  :-\

Are We Having Fun Yet?

 Well, what a week. Very nervous!
At least with IDD there was, I think, some direction. A desired outcome, a lesson plan. This research and justifying and proving is by far more difficult I believe. Anyway, enough wining. 

I was able to find some articles, studies that is, in supporting my paper. Not much out there on my topic, Flipped Learning. Have been playing around with different keyword combinations and am amazed at the varied results that populate. I just hope it's the right stuff and am not going down a wrong pathway. I looked at the calendar and am really nervous about how quickly time is flying by and all the work that needs to get done. 

Driving in the dark - But I'm driving forward I think

Like IDD, a whole lot of upfront thinking, planning and analyzing. I was lost in that course in the beginning and was able to focus and survive. In fact I'm basing my thesis on most of what I learned and developed in that course.

With that said, had a bad week moving forward. Even though I'm using the same material and lesson, it is at a complete different angle - proving the methodology through research. I started finally doing some research queries only to be feeling like that drive down a secluded highway with no map. And to boot, the government shut down, I was unable to go to the ERIC site and research there, where the text suggested a good start. Am looking forward to class tonight to get some guidance and direction.
