My dissucsion firstly on Laptops i believ Taking notes on a computer is much easier for some people, because many people can type twice as fast as they write. Plus, on a computer screen, it is much easier to organize thoughts. Instead of crossing things out and making a mess of the page, a computer has a DELETE key. etc also the weight is lighter then 10 texts book and note books also the new age where it is commonly use by students at home so why not at school? it is something they are familiar with so it may be benifical
although there are cons to any situation and in this case it could be from Laptop failure to battery life to even stoge of files could all be lost in one hit also the level of productivity will be effected this is a trend which will be mentioned later on but However, this is purely a matter of preference. Whichever method is more efficient for a particular student is the method they should use,

Pattern of gradual change in a condition, output, or process, or an average or even general tendency of a series of data points to move in a certain direction over time, in this case represented by a graph.
The Project task was Based on the information that could be possibly gained from the staff and students whithin the school to change the usage of text books to laptops and the various factors the surround it.
• the processing done by your system using screen dumps where appropriate
well thought out the project you use a vars amouth of this because of the uploading to blogger which in my oponion find more efficant and usful then a hard copy which like i mentioned in the project journal is a positive effect on the topic of this assignent. Blog provides a canvas almost to display data which has been conducted then displayed also analysied, to then result with the realable data that helps determain many for future the possible happening of this senario?

• draws conclusions from the information displayed
The data resulted in this project shows a various amout of trends
one of which is strongly hightlighted when Teachers and students have a verry different oppion on the general idea of Productivity.
a factor could be the status difference in the class room which could be dependent on this, that also contributes to age etc..
but the data shows the teacher believe that students will be off task and not very much productivity will take place in the class room and mostly the reasons where for Social networking and gamming etc..
on the other hand students believe they will remain on task even thought there state after would the temptations of social networking and gameing etc...
an other trend which is seen is the usage of a computer our side of school
where the students percentage over shadowed the teachers this also could be effect by the different generations perhaps?
Other then these factors and trends on most other topics there wasnt a great deal of trend of difference but fairly consistent
in conclution Laptops would be welcomed by both students and teachers althought i picked up that there many be limitaions because of the results shown once again.
in the graphs seen in previous post you can spot the main trends i highlighted

Project Jornal two.

Working on the evaluation/analyisation of this project the difficulties that arise are the hardware that is used
the programing formulas etc was an issue of conduction although esay to get though as sorces of infromation was anywhere to be found.
also the report of trend cause abit of an issue when there was either no trend of a very distinct trend which leads to to much spearationa nd confustion of what to beleieve alsmost!
Other then that the uploading of project to blogger is a very efficant way to present the assignmnt in a way this is related to the assignment task it self
which in my opinion is a positive
there was no troubles in contducting a finished prodcut on blogger
etcc...
a dissuction on the trends is in the report :)

Gantt Chart

Project Journal

• Predict the sorts of social and ethical issues that may arise of numerical info system? While analysing this data you must consider the various ethnical issues that may arise such as the overall acceptance of using laptop and even affordability and the responsibility of usage etc... These factors are shown in the results of the survey that was conducted and the trends and values that were highlighted. A social issue involved in this is the Prediction of loss of handwriting skills although in a time period where the majority of work is done though the form of technology there is a split opinion of the statement and again this is shown within the survey results student and staff although especially the staff which is a trend.
• Assess the hardware and software requirements needed to meet the numerical information system’s needs. The applications both soft ware and hardware required to assets in the conductions of a numerical information system includes: Google docs, Excel, an information system to send out Survey ( in this case Face book) and in extension to display the data and information a structure of online journaling (in this case Blogger)
• Discuss the merits of the different data collection strategies used on the forms. While conducting a survey you need to ask appropriate question that will give you a more reliable answer and the different strategies are of proper open and closed questions, a free reasons is time consuming for both parties although give more depth to the issues and scale gives a fair average checkboxes give exact purpose. The correct strategies and questioning must be used to gain a good source of data.
A good structured survey compels a meaningful set of data in results and this is exemplified though the usage of a Google doc spreadsheet. Also when displaying data you must use correct formation to help understand clearly what has happened and that depends on when you use either a pie, bar, line etc... (Graph)

Process of conducting survey

Discussion;
During the process of conducting this survey to gain valuable information of a new form of learning.
with the student surveys it is in simiallar structur of the staff survey. The issuse in which is being evaluated is if Laptops should replace textsBooks in a school class room.
The reason questions must be simillar is to show either contraste or trends between the two groups
This then gives a generalised idea on the situdation and a realable source of information.
such other factors that is important to consider when conducting a usful survey is other underlaying issues for example efficiency of resources like paper? sortager of laptops? Provided laptops of childs own ( and if affordablilty is an issue?) productivity while doing class work? etc... all these concerns are what needs to be asured of.
Also questioning is important in helping gain consistent information, as misinterpurtation or not undersatnd or even to peronal can casue downfall in the survey resluts (also open and or closed questions need to be displayed correctly)
The template of your survey again must be Necessary also.
