Blog for the week: Give us an honest appraisal of your journey around trying to produce your Capstone Project. What problems have you encountered? How will you solve them? What aha’s have you encountered as you watch mini-documentaries and past capstone videos? How are they different? Think about who you are creating the mini-documentary for? What essential points will be most important to them and how will you address them in your storytelling?
I need time, time, and more time. For whatever reason, these last 2-3 weeks have been unusually busy. It seems as though there isn’t enough time in the day. I’m currently still working on my paper which has made it difficult to focus on my capstone. My attention is divided between the two and I’m looking forward to the day that I can submit my paper and just focus on the capstone. My paper has been a journey, to say the least, but it is slowly coming along and will be a huge relief when it’s complete. The Capstone project seems straight forward and what I have completed so far has been easy enough. I have not got around to linking my pages yet, but here in the next couple of days, I’ll be able to do that. (All that tech stuff makes me nervous haha). In terms of the mini-doc, I’ve noticed that many of them did not use their real classrooms or images. As much as I would love to do this, I just don’t think I could pull that off right now with permission slips and filming. That was a relief to see that. They seem straightforward enough and just like everything else, it will take me diving into it to figure everything out. I think my mini-doc is for APE/PE teachers who are looking at new ways to improve gross motor skills. I hope my mini-doc inspires PE teachers to go out and try some Heavy work training with their students and to further explore my website. The point that I will be trying to make in my mini-doc is outlining the current issues in APE and how Heavy work offers a solution.

100000000%%% I need time, and more time. I just wasted so many hours on formatting my paper and it was wrong. I feel so overwhelmed and don't think I am going to get it done by May at this point. I wonder if Touro has extensions? I feel like small things from blogs to larger things like papers and documentaries it's so much work. I can't even think during school, which is a disservice to my students. I worry too much about wording and getting it precise that at this point my work will not be 100% and that eats me up as a professional. I agree with you about the mini doc, way too much permissions etc to film children. Unfortunately I don't think other educators will understand Alt Ed if I don't have a kid in the doc.

AuthorMy name is Bailey Tucker. I teach Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education (APE) at Calistoga Elementary School. I have a strong passion for sports, athletics and fitness. I've been involved with sports my entire life and that is what ultimately led me to the path of teaching. I have recently obtained my APE Authorization to teach PE to students with special needs. This has been a growing passion of mine and I have immensely enjoyed working in this new field with my students. I'm looking forward to this next chapter and working towards obtaining my masters degree. Archives
