Graphs

Today we played around with an online site to help us create graphs call Crappy Graphs. Click here to view my graph. We used date reguarding Pay per pupil in states. We collected data on West Virginia, Pennsylaviana, Texas, and Florida.

Next we also used Kids Zone to create another type of graph. I created a bar graph on the number of miles I ran each day this week. Here is the graph i created.

I created an assessment about my webquest. I created it using google forms. WE chose one question from each category besides the grid. I also chose a pretty theme for my assessment. Here is a link to my assessment. It is also embeded below.

Rubistar

Today we created an account in rubi star. Click here to go to that webpage. A ribric is a scoring tool for a subjective assessment. I learned this in Dr. Smith's planning, assesment, and management class. It helps teachers grade projects, presentations, and other work that is subjective. It also makes grading very fair. Also if a parent has a question on why their child got a certain grade you can show them the ruberic to explain the grades that were given.

April 19, 2010

Today in class we worked on our webquest. I decided on a task for my students. I chose for my final project to be for each role to take their individually created Powerpoints on their cultures and combine them with each other to create a final group presentation using Photostory. I think this will show not only the individual work that each student did in their powerpoint but also how well they worked as a group in making the final presentation using photostory. I think that this will make it easy to grade fairly.
