week 9 (term 2) :
====In the first 2 week in intergraded learning we introduced to the wikispaces and other search engines such as EBscope and the wonder wheel (but had gone missing at the end of the week) by ms McInnes and Mr Noble, and tried to make us all a wiki space but mine wouldnt work as my email wasnt working.====

week 10:
This week i was only in fridays lesson due to soccer on monday and wednesday. on friday we compeleted a research skill task about wheat. This file shows an activity we done online which showed us what our best way to learn was and this was my outcome.

week 1 (term3) :
me and Shaun Murray choice our guiding questions which are: "What are the most common types of injuries" "Is there a difference int he injuries that occur in both codes (statisics)?" "What are some way the clubs address the prevention of injuries?" "What types of treatments are there for these injuries and does this affect recovery time?"

week 2:
====the monday we in groups worked on refining our topic question down into smaller questions using insipiration (graphic organiser), and we decieded that we can ask our local club about the injuries that have occured in our senior teams. We deicided our main guiding questions are:====

week 3:
during this week we decided that Shaun Murray was going to look at the guiding questions for football and I would find out information about soccer. We were aslo explained about the proposal we were going to start on monday week 6.

week 4:
the teacher has given the class a worksheet called "Research Project, Preparing the proposal" which shows it in a transcript of an oral proposal. We were also given another sheet as a table and we had to fill it in with the information given in the transcript. under the title "subject/Title" "Reason for Choice" "Research Topic" "Ethics and Saftey" and "capability". this was homework and was due on wednesday. On friday we all started our own proposals

week 5:
in this week we chose that there wasnt much ways we could research our topic that was "In which sport do more injuries occur in, AFL or Soccer?" so we decided to add more in so it changed to "What are the most common injuries in AFL and SOCCER and is there a difference in recovery times and for what reason" i also finished my proposal on friday and handed it up with a word count of "527".

week 6:
monday: teacher gave back proposal with some corrections, i fixed the corrections and handed back up the final copy with a word count of 515. Mrs lawless also said to shorten our topic more, so i changed to: "What are the most common injuries in AFL and SOCCER" and use the second part: "is there a difference in recovery times and for what reason" as guiding qestions. on friday we were told each group needed to buy a ring folder per group and inside it we needed to have:
 * 1) Copy of the assessment plan
 * 2) Any notes/acitvitys we have been given
 * 3) Our individual journals - 9 weeks worth
 * 4) Finished porposal

Beginning of research project scoffold __Introduction__ Of hyposthesis/topic, guiding question and any research to date e.g newspaper articles etc.

This was needed to be handed up by next friday (9/9/11) .

Week 7:
On Monday we had a public holiday for Royal Adelaide Show. On Wedensday i was only in clas for the last 20 minutes due to helping pick the year 8/9 indoor soccer team. Friday we had got our folder but we just needed to buy sleeves for it. teacher gave us extention till Tuesday.

Week 8:
we have completed the survey which has been checked with our teacher and has been comfirmed. Me and shaun have during the double Lesson went around the school with 50/60 of our surveys and almost every survey filled in only had a couple left. when we got back to class there wasnt much time left but we looked through a few of them. some were really good filled in with a lot of detail, but ours were filled in with stupid things which we just through away. We sorted them into injuries and no injuries. The only thing that wasn't great was question 8 (the last question) as not much people knew what it meant as they kept asking us about it

Week 9:
i have to made the an survey mokey account and put our survey onto it, all i need to do now is make an event on facebook and invite all friends to get reponses.

these are the links to survey monkey:
 * 1) []
 * 2) Click here to take survey

These links are only excessable by me and shaun murray just now.

Week 10:
this week all we have been doing is looking for research, answering the guiding questions. i have found a website with injuries in the A-league but it is from 2010 as the 2011 season is just starting. I have collected the information on the webiste and copyed it onto "Word" and then sorted it out on "excel" making it easier to understand.

The thrid page show the player and manager speaking about what will happen to the player. On the forth page of the word document it has the references of the website where i have took this information from.

week 1 (Term 4)
We have just continued on with gathering research, to answer our guiding questions. We have completed "What are the most common types of injuries", "is there a difference in the injuries and number that occur in boht codes" we had done research on both sports and discovered there is a huge differnce in injuries, with football having alot more than soccer. This is shown by soccer there are 21 rounds and on average in the year there are 423 injuries and in 1 round in AFL they can get to 141 injuires.

week 2
We started to look at our next guiding question which was "What are some ways the clubs address the preventaion of injuries" we have used the surveys we collected to get information on this question. From these answer i learned all clubs help out differntly from: just giving ice to paying from physio.

Week 3
During this week i was looking more at prevention of injuries and found a way to heal faster this treatment is a called R.I.C.E which stands for: Rest Ice Compression Elevation. This was a really good find as it could help me and shaun M when we get another injury.

Week 4
all week we were making our power point presention. I was making the power point while Shaun M was writing what we were going to say.

Week 5
We have been just putting in the last information from the guiding questions and putting it into our final oral presentation (power point).



Week 6
During this week we completed The De Bono thinking hats and the evaluation. Shaun M and i were really happy of the topic we choose as we found out alot of new ways to prevent injuries, new kinds of injuries and finding out what kind of injuties other people get. I think overall Shaun M and i have completed this research very well :)
