2. Research & Planning
I believe that I have researched well on the sections that I will
need to know to help me with my project such as analyzing
different form builders which would be most suitable to use to
collect and update our results automatically and be able to
embed onto our website. Another research which was useful to
our project was finding suitable website producer that will
enable us to host our website onto the school server as well as
incorporating out form into it. After some extensive research,
my final decision was to use Google Forms & Google Sites to
set up my project. I have also conducted a questionnaire to aid
us with our research in getting a clear idea of what our client
wants.
In terms of planning, I didn’t do so well in as we didn’t have a
systematic plan to follow through which could have helped us
greatly in organizing our steps to complete the project. A flow
chart would have been useful to help us keep on task on our
project.
3. Technical Skills
During the course of my project, I learnt how to create a
Google form and site where I was successfully able to
incorporate the form onto the site as we had planned to at the
start of the project. I have also been able to develop my Ict
skills on Gimp through this project as I didn’t know how to use
the software before. After some research and looking at
tutorials, I was able to learn and develop my editing skills which
would be useful in helping me with my future projects.
4. Communication
I was able to communicate easily and effectively with my
partner and my client throughout this project. I mostly
communicated with my partner at school as we were in the
same form and Ict class, so therefore we were able to discuss
the about the project without much communication difficulties.
We were also able to keep close contact with our client as seen
through the emails we sent as well requesting permission from
the teachers in person. During out of school hours, we used
free communication tools such as Skype, Facebook or Gmail to
communicate with each other with was a useful and effective
way.
5. Testing
I was able to test my project out at school which came out
successfully as the students who required help were being
tutored. I have also taking some photos of our project during
the test run which shows evidence that it had been tested out
by our client (Island School students). We also received
positive feedback from our client which has proven our project
was both very useful for both junior and senior students.
6. Originality and Creativity
I learned that with a the aid of technology combined with your
own creativity, you can create a simple service for school which
could help out many students in return. I have also been able
to create my own banner which I will be using for my project
and will be embedded onto the website.
Overview
Overall I found making this project to be quite fun and engaging
as I was able to help out students at school in the end. I was
happy that our project came out successfully and I hope that
the school can continue to use this service to help out students
in the future.
