My Research Thus Far

I have been implementing exercise activities in the classroom for one wees now and collecting data for my research for over two weeks. Before starting my research, I believed that the most difficult part would be making time for exercise in my third graders' busy school schedules. Because my students are becoming more independent and working at a faster pace with each day, the exercise has not cut any activities and seems to be increasing their completion speed for other assignments. The students really seem to look forward to exercising every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and I've explained to them that if we can't get our other work completed, the exercising will end. It turns out that the most difficult part of my research is video taping two or three times a week. I thought this would be easy, I would just turn the camera on and do whatever I had planned, however, uploading and transferring videos takes a lot of time and can throw off my schedule if I haven't uploaded a video when I had planned to. Also, I have two memory cards and they fill up very quickly with videos. I have to upload the videos on the memory cards, before I can delete them to make room for new video recordings. Also, my flash drives are completely full after only three weeks of video taping and with four weeks left. I realize that this data collection was a high expectation of mine, but I find it to be my most useful source thus far and want to continue collecting this data.
