Hi Steve and the rest of the team,

I have a question about the Lab School itself. It seems that you have an
incredibly unique situation in that you can watch (through video) what
happens in the ESOL classroom between the students at any given time. So
you can observe what the teacher cannot see, for example how students
interact when doing pair work or other tasks when the teacher is not
interacting with them.

So you have this capability, and thousands (?) of hours of recorded data
of this type. How do you decide what research to use this data for? How
do you pick which specific questions to pose?

Thanks,

Julie McKinney
