1. What are your experiences of the project? What are the conclusions your team arrived at after the project? Provide suggestions, if any, to improve the reading habit and library usage of students.
This was the first time any one of our team worked in a real project. The experience was very good as we have got opportunity to do so many new things and learn many softwares.
76% of the students we surveyed said that they enjoy reading. It was interesting to see 34% of the students read 3 books a week on an average. It was clear that though the students did not read magazines and newspapers, they read books. We were happy to see our favourite authored topped in our survey too. We came to the conclusion that reading habit is not dying. We are of the opinion that the students must be motivated to read. We must get more and more books and there must be some free time for reading books. Number of competitions on library and reading should be more. As we have got this year next year too the prizes should be coupons for books.
2. What impact did this project have on your team? What did you learn by participating in this project?
Now we know all the members of our team more. Our discussions mainly was on the books we like to read and our favourite characters and so on. Sayooj is the IT expert in our team and he shown us how he created book trailer and animation. He also helped a lot in doing all the work. We learned so many softwares. We know excel and powerpoint and used it before. But we have never used it like this. Sorting, filtering, creating charts etc were new to all of us. The other software Irfanview is very small but really good in image copying and saving. These will help us in preparing our subject presentations in an attractive manner in the next year.
Sayooj and Silga used to post book reviews on the readers club blog. But others learned to work on Blogger now only.
4. How well did you work as a team? How did it help to develop your cooperation and collaboration as a team?
As we said above, Sayooj helped us in learning many new tricks on computers. We all did our part in the project well. Pranesh helped the Interview team to record the conversations. Silga and Sreenath mainly entrusted with collection of responses and entereing it on the software.
5. List out the tasks your team completed in the project. What resources/IT tools did you use during the project?
We surveyed 38 students from different schools. We also entered data of some other responses collection by our readers club members. We did the analysis in Excel and prepared our report as a power point presentation. Sir taught us how to share the presentations on the blog using slideshare.net. Sayooj created an account in it and uploaded our ppt and posted in on our blog here.
We used excel, Microsoft Word and Powerpoint for creating the presentation. We also used blogs and slideshare.
We would like to thank our librarian sir for giving us this opportunity. We also thank our Principal madam and Rugmini madam for motivating us to do this project.
