DFI Week 3 Dealing with Data

Dealing with Data

Google Hangouts meeting with people in Hokitika a nice way to revisit our learning from last week. This seems to be a "coming thing" re virtual meetings and coordination.

Create
The create model being influenced by people like Sir Ken Robinson and Ruben Puentedura is a great idea and I think the theory is good, especially when we look to students being able to contextualise their learning in ways that make sense to them.

Google Forms

Another great Google tool with huge potential but would have to say it will take a while to integrate this into our work flow and data gathering.
Like the Maths Breakout Idea from Vanessa this should be a way to help assess my students progress.

Google Maps

Using a data table from google forms into google Maps and creating a map of locations.

Google Sheets 


HEAPS to learn here, almost need a whole day/week just getting this tool under control, BIG takeaway for me here is the cross when you hover to copy Contents or Formulas across a range of cells. Things we covered Level Up: Sheets and Forms
Power UP Tools look like a good way to access greater functionality in Google sheets.

Example of transferring Data from Blog to using Sheets, Drawing and Blogger.
