Yesterday (9/29/13) I spent about 6 hours (straight!) researching information to add sources to my topic paper. I then edited my paper and added sources which took another hour. I enjoyed most of the research. I found a lot of interesting information about game based learning (GBL) that made me really wish that I was a video game designer as a part time job. Apparently it would be very helpful in my math class. Too bad that I am not a video game designer, so I can not really use most of what I found unless I find games already designed to supplement my lessons.
I also found a lot of information about the PARCC test that my students will be taking next year.
So far I am enjoying the research, but I hate writing papers.
Also, today I spent all of my prep, part of my lunch, and the last hour and 15 minutes revamping my paper for submission because I didn't feel like it was good enough. It's like my martial arts instructor says, "The biggest room in the world is room for improvement."
