DFI: Dealing with Data

 

Kia Ora everyone, 

I found today's session helpful. We focused on Google Forms and Sheets which are two apps that I do use but am not very confident on. Before this session I was able to figure out how to use a function feature to add the total amount of a row of data. So I'm hoping this added to that and I only get more confident from here. I know being more familiar with Sheets will help with Data analysis in the long run.

I enjoyed being able to use Forms in conjunction with other apps like the My Maps, which was a new experience for me and will definitely use it with my class when I am more experienced with it. The My Maps app I can see being used for my Migration and Identity unit that I have been doing with my class. 

Being able to pull statistics from Blogs is a wonderful way to connect Maths for my class especially while our focus is on Data for the next week or so. 

One of the Create tasks for today was to create a chart out of a blog looking at the number of posts that are being made on a monthly basis. I chose Natasha from Hornby High School. The level of work and number of posts surprised me.

  1. Kia ora Robin. It will be exciting to see how your class go with tools like MyMaps. Yes, some students churn out the blog posts. I'm sure by the end of the year some of your students will be up there in terms of amount of posts.
