Action plan 2

My new action plan - this is just to demonstrate how labeling works

Action Plan 1

1. Interview ICT teachers

• Create interview questions
• Email ICT teachers to ask permission
• Get cameras/voice recording equipment
• Conduct interviews
• NB teachers who don't have time for interview/aren't available when I am - email questions and get written answers

2. SurveyICT students

• Find out who studies ICT/how to distribute a survey
• Create questionnaire - do I want the questions to be multiple choice or long written answers?
• Distribute questionnaire - I must give everyone time to respond
• Collect questionnaire and gather data - identify trends etc.

3. Internet research

• Google search - what are my search terms?
  
• Internet contradictory
• Bad internet
• Good internet
• internet useful for research
• internet full of lies

4. Combine information - are there any repeated ideas that come up again and again? Those are likely to be good answers. How can we evaluate them? Form criteria?

I'm not sure what to do after this - I will review once I know more about my area of inquiry.

Planning Research

What do I need to think about when I am planning research.

Firstly, what is my question? What am I trying to learn about.

'Why is the internet so full of contradictory information?"

What sources can I use to find out about this?

Internet - what websites might I use? Google, wikipedia (I need to think of more - perhaps once I have used google I will have a better idea of what websites there are)

People - who can I ask? Teachers? Other students. Who might know about this? ICT teachers and students are most likely to know about the internet.

Plan: Interview ICT teachers and students to find out what they think about contradictory information on the interent

But there are a lot of ICT students. Revise plan: Survey ICT students

research on football part 1 (bibliography)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football

This site is good because it contains a huge amount of information about football. Unfortunately, not all the information is relevant to my needs. I will have to select very carefully what I use.

Also it is wikipedia, a community created encyclopedia, I cannot rely on all the information. I can use this, however, provided that I cross reference and check the information I use from another source. Finally, I must make sure that my second source did not use wikipedia as its main source.

Inquiry planning

This is my plan for my inquiry into culture and identity.

1. Tuning In
What do I already know about culture?

• Culture is a complicated word
