DFI Session 3: Dealing with Data


What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

The central focus that generates the most positive outcomes is Create. This aspect is more motivating for our learners.
Creative experiences involve the whole learner

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Google forms will make my job easier through not only greater engagement but easier analysis of data.
I would like to continue to refine my digital planning links and explore streamlined sharing of this through blogging.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

I would like to make greater use of google forms in my teaching. I have designed a learning focused quiz for this term's inquiry. Emily had a very good idea - that of doing our pre and post testing for say maths using a google form. I think this would be good to do. It would prove more engaging than pen and paper traditional forms.

Using sheets is good and when my students have blogged for many months I can teach them how to make a table of their data of blog posts and put this on their blog - however this will be a while in the future.


What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?


I plan on making a My Map of all the places I have visited and embedding this on my travel blog. I'll make the spreadsheet with place, date, etc first.

Important points from the Google Hangout on CREATE:














Google Forms


I learnt about how to use google forms - making an interactive quiz - excellent. Adding images and video were all new learning. I can definitely see this being of tremendous use!

Google Maps


Importing data from a spreadsheet into mymaps.google.com
Here are my favourite places: 

It would be good to plot the class cultures or holiday places visited...

Sheets


You can freeze columns - a game changer for assessment! View- freeze rows or columns

Maths/ patterns - use sheets 

Two great Sheets for students who need to practise skip counting in 2's:

  1. Tena koe Mark,
    Thank you for a thorough reflection once again, you are certainly taking a lot from the DFI. I noticed you include the SISOMO graphic in your post, I really think explaining this concept to students helps them understand that the audience of their blog needs to be engaged with the post in order to receive a comment.
    Nga mihi,
    Mark
