I did my first piece of data collection today. 1. I'm so proud of myself for getting it started and squeezed into my hectic Friday and 2. It required more focus than I orginally thought. and 3. I discovered that I am a better multi-tasker than I thought. :) I had to manage students questions such as "Can I use the restroom?" while making observations on 2 students every 2 seconds.
It confirmed for me my need for more eyes in my classroom to help me collect data. I can make observations during independent work time but I'll need someone else to observe while I'm teaching. (I don't know why I didn't think of that before).
I also realized that my ADD student today was really pretty focused for the whole 15 minutes and wondered how different he is without his medication. Are there already new wonderings?
