quite a lot has happened recently.
last week i sent out the call for quotations for the phones. yesterday, i retrieved the quotations, and made my purchase.
i bought 5 NGages and 3 Nokia 6600 from MacShop at Funan.
i decided to use the 6600 instead of the P900 for the study because of cost.
i also bought some 64MB multimedia cards for the phones.
i collected the phones today, and will be giving Jason his NGage later tonight, at a department barbeque.
so it will be the first time John meets Jason :-)
also had my third meeting with my supervisor today. basically we discussed the rationale for using NGage, and agreed that it need not be used for the post-test, just as a pre-test, in order to establish a baseline. this is because the NGage task is so similar to the actual exploration task.
i also received feedback on the three chapters which i have submitted so far. standardise the tense and write in a less jingoistic fashion; also change 'pupils' to 'students', and use 'Grade 9' instead of 'Sec Three' :-P
we also talked about manpower requirements - whether to get an RA or simply a chaperone.
i shared with them that i will be firming up plans with the schools next month (once the nationwide exams are over), also i have to map out the neighbourhoods then.
rushing off to the barbeque now :-P
