Our trial run is in its second week and its going pretty well I think despite some roadblocks. We've really been focused on this trial run in these last few weeks of the semester. The Hickman High School trial run didn't work out just because we ran out of time and didn't think we would have enough resources to supply to their students, so this is the last big thing we're doing for our research.
I've been communicating a lot with Mr. Medina, the high school teacher in New York and he's been the one who's been really excited about this trial run. We got the second round of weekly reports from the groups who according to Medina are working very hard to meet their tight deadline next Friday, when the trial run officially ends. Some of the students have also took the mid-term survey.
The main problem we're having with the trial run is that despite all the e-mails we've sent out to our individual groups none of them have responded to us. In the survey, the students said that they didn't hear from their college mentors (i.e. us), which is so weird since we've all e-mailed them at least once. So the college mentoring isn't going as well as we'd hoped, but everything else seems to be going fine. It'll be interesting to see the actual stories that are produced next week. They had three weeks to produce two multimedia elements, so we'll see what they come up with. I'm looking forward to it!
