Fun With Data

This was definitely one of the most challenging assignments that I have done throughout this class. I often found myself lost and had to work my way through the different buttons to fingure out what to use. Though this may not be the exact way that it was suppose to be done, I feel that I added my own touch on things (i.e. adding a bar to show average). I think that this long process creating this data map was rather tidious, however I learned a lot about excel and how it works. This is my Fun With Data!

Assessment forms

I never knew that you could create quizes that easily online, and also be able to grade them that easily as well. I really enjoyed the step by step process outlined on You Tube for me, because it allowed me to easily follow what was going on. I think that this program is very teacher friendly, and will be a program that I remember and continue to use. I think that the way that the program walks you through creating questions and has the format already mapped out for you is so helpful. This is one of my favorite activities thus far. My quiz goes along with all of the work I have been doing for this class, and thus is on the food pyramid! (<--- This is the link to my quiz, try it out and enjoy!)

Assessments Rubistar

This is an awesome app that will really come in handy when I am a teacher, that will enable me to quickly and efficiently create rubrics. My rubric deals with the essay question, "Is the food pyramid good or bad?"

Moving pictures

My movie maker presentation on the food pyramid . I really like windows movie maker because it jazz's up ones Power Point and makes it more interesting for students. Also with this program you can use a microphone and actually add your own opinion or information about certain slides.

Google presentations

My embedded presentation of the food pyramid into google docs . This program is great because it allows you to show a Power Point, even if the computer you know you will be using does not have Power Point. There are also endless things that you can do with google docs, and I really enjoy that everyone can edit and comment on certain projects.

Power Point Action Buttons

This is my Power Point show dealing with action buttons...the subject is on the food pyramid . This was one of my most challenging assignments, because it took me a very long time to create questions and answers for my jeopardy game. I also struggled when trying to figure out the action buttons, because I have never really experienced using them before. I feel really good about myself after completing this assignment however, because now I know more about how to maneuver around the action buttons associated with Power Point.
