Digital Fluency Intensive Day 4 - Dealing With Data

Day 4 - Dealing with Data

We started by talking about:

Sharing

That connected learners share their work. Post 2005, that's when Youtube was born nobody ever imagined that it's going to grow so far.

We need to keep in mind that sharing needs to have a purpose. 

Blogger is the main online sharing space for our learners. 

By using gadgets and analytical tools on blogger we can also track  and gather data. 

Google Forms

That it's one of the easier ways to collect information either from parents or organisations. It's easier to start from blank form when creating one. We can add questions and arrange the settings as suited. As for sharing and sending there are 3 ways - email, link and embed. Viewing for the response data is also made easy by using google forms.

My Google Form - General Knowledge

Good example of Pick A Path Google Form. It's always a good idea to PLAN your Pick A Path.

This is my Google Form which I created - New Zealand - General Knowledge.

Google My Maps

Customizable collaborative allowing us to track or plan journeys, measure distances, add place markers.

Using Google Maps is another way we can make learning fun for learners in the classroom as there are so many various ways..

Google Sheets

This is so helpful in so many different ways mainly for the teachers to collect data, do calculations, show or lock what they don't want to show etc.

Sheets on Speed

Is another way of calculating averages, sorting averages, creating and selecting charts.

I created this Google Sheet and then analysed it using Google Drawing.

Today I learnt that there are so many smart ways of collecting, comparing and sharing data and then analysing it which can make teaching easier. Using tools such as Google forms, Google Sheets and Google Maps confidently can make whole lot of life easier for teachers and learners.
