4. Thinking back on your research project, what did you find easiest to do? Please list as
many things as you like.

I found it quite easy to perform searches in the library catalogue and in Google. I also found it easy to write my literature review. This is because I had a large amount of information on the topic as a result of seeking information from a wide variety of sources and search engines.

5. Thinking back on your research project, what did you find most difficult to do? Please
list as many things as you like.

The thing that I found most difficult to do was to find information the best matched my topic as sometimes I need to rephrase my search term several times in order to find suitable sources.

6. What did you learn in doing this research project? Please list as many things as you
like.

I learnt about guided inquiry which was a term I only knew little about before commencing this research project. Also I learnt how to use Google Wonderwheel which was a search function that I had previously not heard of and had never performed a search in this tool. I also learnt about the term information literacy which again I had not previously heard of. Finally I learnt how to use the blogging tool Blogger. I had never created a blog before and found the process of creating a blog to be quite an interesting experience.
