First Week

The first week of the project has passed and I am gathering data from students during their lunch periods. Many of the students know me already which makes the project easier since the students are more comfortable sharing information with me than they would a stranger. Currently I have not found any students in the 4th and 5th period upper lunches that can participate in my research. In the upcoming weeks I will be asking students of the lower grades as well if they are encountering any problems with the IBOSS System. This will require me interacting more with students both before and after school. My on site mentor also has doing things with the schools computers such as replacing screens and reimaging some of the hard drives. He also keeps me on track with my research as well letting me know when some students have issues and letting me go and try to help those students. I have worked out a schedule that works for both me and my mentor going to the site on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I show up 8:30 and leave around 5. Being the first week though the schedule may change later on. The first week has produced little results to furthering my research but it is only the first week. I hope to have more to share in the upcoming weeks including details on how my research is coming along.
