2H (25-28) GRACE 2010 BLOG

1) One difficulty I had and what I did about it:

Problem - It was very hard to get people to do the surveys as not many people were interested.
Solution - I asked some classmates and relatives to help to do the survey.

2) Two things I found interesting:

A) I found creating the survey very interesting. It helped me learn more about the topic and understand how to use google surveys.
B) I found reading other people's responses on the survey very interesting.

3) Three things I have learnt :
A) I have learnt to create a google document survey.
B) I have learnt how to formulate survey questions based on the topic -TSUNAMIS.
C) I have learnt more about Tsunamis and how to get people to do your survey.

1)What I know after the survey

After the survey, I have learned what other people thought about their topic, I have also slightly learned more about what measures can be taken to reduce the damage of Tsunamis.

2)What I think about the findings of the survey

I think the very little people are serious about the survey as most people gave irrelevant responses.

3)What I learnt from the survey

I learnt many things especially how to create a survey and more about the topic.

4)What I intend to do with the survey results

I intend to post the survey findings on the blog then to organize the survey results in a graph so that we can easily extract data

What i know about surveys

Surveys are a selected set of questions that are formulated to find out more about the topic and to find opinions about other peoples views
Surveys are a constructive way to find out about different peoples possible lifestyles
Surveys involve many people in order to publish statistics

Ideas, what i think about surveys

Surveys are questions which people can freely choose what option best suits/describes them
Surveys should have a variety of questions ranging from open ended questions to close ended questions.

What i learnt about surveys

I have learnt how to formulate relevant questions that would help us to achieve the correct data that we need
I also have learnt that in order for a survey to be successful, the survey needs to be promoted heavily so that we can collect the numbers to from data

Action plan: What should we do after the survey

We should collect and analyse the data
We should see the statistics of the survey
We should use the data and see what could we improve on our project

This week we managed to do a few more things.

(1) Further improve on the survey
(2) Receive more responses on the survey
(3) Traded surveys with other IPW groups

However , based on the current responses on the survey , I still feel that some questions of the survey should be editted .

Although the final product is no where near complete , we are still coming up with more ideas for the game. We hope to produce a game and a video demonstration of the game that our classmates and friends find interesting.

Facebook / Internet / Email or other means and
Get your Relatives / Friends to help on the survey.
