Day 4- Dealing with Data

 Tohatoha/ share was the pedagogy kopu of the day.

'Sharing sustains relationships' is a quote from the day that is transferable across a multitude of context.

This week learning was conducted around, google forums, google spreadsheets and google maps.

Google forums is a great way to find out information from students and whanau, whilst having the option of making it anonymous or  having names on response forms. Google sheets has the potential to reduce  double handling of data that currently happens within our school. With data, people seem to have their prefered ways of managing it. 

Google forums are a tool I will use within my classroom throughout the year, either as a review of learning, review of reading tasks or wanting to find information about how students learn best within my classroom.

Today I created a google Map of interesting places around my community that I would suggest for people to visit if they were to come to Gisborne...

Google Sheets:

Freezing, averaging and finding sums. These are all useful tools when using google sheets within the classroom. Being able to order data by average, first or surnames are all tips to make data collection and interpreting easier.  Sum is a easy way to add columns up without having to use any formulas like the old spreadsheets from the past.

Conditional planning- monitoring students progress and completion of learning tasks, this is a easy way to monitor students within the classroom.  

Here is a simple analysis I did of 4 students at random and the amount of quality blog posts they completed in 2020.

Fun Learning...

Cool site- fast.com to check the internet speed... this is something  I will use often when my classroom is all on their devices, and also when I'm at home on the farm to keep data to then contact our provider who says there is nothing wrong with the farm internet (even tho it cut out regularly)
