Well done to all those who passed the assessment !!

Great to meet everyone and a big thanks to Kerry and Vanessa for the tremendous organisation of the course and even higher praise for your patience with helping us !!!

Aim - more digitally creative in class and more rewindable teaching/learning videos on our class websites

DFI 8 - Dealing with Data

DFI  -  Dealing with Data  (with Dave Winter)  14/08/2019

Agenda

Forms  (Vanessa)
This a like to a great slide show to help how to use Forms .

My first Form attempt. Like the idea of using these. And students using them to make up their own questions for others to try. Different ways of being able to answer questions - multiple choice, short number answer, word answers.

Spreadsheet slides
Very helpful slideshow showing all about / how to spreadsheets

This activity was useful - spreadsheets and using parts of the data and manipulating and producing sums, averages and graphs.

Below is an example of graphed data from a selected students blog posts over 5 years.


Create -



Google Maps - our group picked 2 dream destinations from a given list and these were imported from a spreadsheet.




The information today was all useful. As most was new, the rapid speed through the ideas meant my understanding was limited. More time needed to practice. A 'big overload' as Dave said - but more prepared to try / take risks, so all good !!!

Ended the day with a couple of selfies using camera on laptop -

happy days !!

our helpful and supportive table group !!

All about empowerment for the student learners.

Interesting ideas about student learning and making more decisions for themselves for their learning

Tried scratch for the first time. Great for computational thinking ideas. Thinking about codes and agreeing on a code/strategy to solve a problem. Our example was to discuss a code for one to talk the code so the other could draw.

This is an example of scratch - click on the green flag (top left below)



Students could use scratch and the speech bubbles to explain some of their learning.

Lots of stuff to see and try !!
