Final Blog Post

Out project was overall all right, it wasn't a huge success but it did end successfully. When we began our project with the Nielson idea and building the little black box, we discovered that it was harder to do with the little research we could find on it. Then when we began to create the survey, we found another dillemma with sending a mass e-mail to the teachers requiring approval. The approval took too long and we didn't have time to waste so after about a week of waiting for approval, we decided to walk around the campus and physically hand out the survey to teachers. This is where the good things began to happen. By manually passing out the surveys, the teachers wanted to do the survey for us more than they would have been willing to do it over e-mail. This way made it personal and showed the teachers that we really wanted their feedback and that it was for a good cause. With the teachers willing to do the survey for us, our results were very accurate and the percent of teachers not encouraging their classrooms to watch Puka Mai Ka La were astoundingly low. So as I conclude on the our Final, I'd like to say thanks to Mr. Blake for helping us realize that helping Kamehameha and improving anything in general is harder than we think. We complain about things and think of ideas that we think simple all the time however as we have just learned, the actual modeling and formation of the idea and the action of actually doing it is way harder than we all think it is and so now before we complain, we should think if we would realistically be able to solve and fix the problem.
