Realized I haven't posted in a while. Things are picking up for me in terms of research. I've been working with my one-on-one directed study advisor, Ryan Henderson, and he's been a big help in prepping me in terms of putting together a detailed plan of action for my thesis, how to approach and interview middle school teachers, and advising me what are the relevant issues I need to consider and look more into.
It's actually been a rather hectic school semester. Balancing classes, thesis, and part-time design work, has been pretty crazy. I've been in and out of middle school classrooms for the past 3 weeks, interviewing teachers and observing classrooms. I've recorded a lot of interviews, and took lots and lots of photos. So far I've been able to cover the Alameda public middle school district. I hope to cover some schools in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley school district.
I'm also taking a web-design/programming class right now. Learning the CSS ropes. The awesome thing about the class is that my final project gets to be my actual thesis website! So that is already underway, and will hopefully be up in the near future.
Whew... what a semester.
