DFI- Day 4- Dealing with Data

Day started with Karakia by Vicki. We were put in the bubble to share how was the week and have we used anything and how it went. Naomi  taught how to get embed codes from Google doc, slides, forms and where to put it in the blog. 

Connecting with Manaiakalani -Dorothy Burt

Dorothy continue with pedagogy create, share and learn. Today's focus was Tohatoha(share). Sharing is not something new but it was there since ages. However, the way we share things have changed. Digital world and the features like  speed and emplification changed dramatically since 2005. Social media is a powerful tool to either post, comment or giving feedback. I totally agree that using social media has really caught attention of students interms of engagement. Sharing with purpose and having the authentic audiance is very important.

the pilot teachers were given choices to use different platform such as fliker, facebook and other platforms. the conclusion was to use blogger is more effective. Sharing is part of connceting with people.

Chalk and Talk with Naomi

Naomi went through the features of Google form. I use google form but not quite often. I need to explore more and learn to use the settings as per my requirement. I created a google form. Due to internet issues, I couldn't do much. However, here is the link to my google form.

Google My Map with Phil

 I have never used My Maps. This is something new for me to explore. I learned measuring distances and area. I explored some functions and need more time to practice it.

Google Sheets with Vicki

I am a beginner level user of Google sheets. I learned a lot in this session. I didn't know about freezing row and column. I used to go forth and back to check if I'm looking at the right data for particular student. This is a life saver!! I still need to use more functions to manipulate data according to my objective. During explore sessions, I tried some functions. I found filter function a bit tricky and need more practice.

Create and Share 

I created a google sheet from a blog post of a  student named Finau from Pt England school. I looked at   her archive data and entered into google sheet and used function 'chart' , downloaded as png and added as below.
