Now that you've collected survey data using Google Forms, it's time to analyze, summarize, & share the results. For this project, I've provided a poster TEMPLATE in Google Classroom. On this poster, you will share at least 3 results from the survey your team conducted. You have "dibs" on the questions you asked, but there may be some overlap and sharing of results. You will create an "Infographic", which is - "a visual image such as a chart or diagram used to represent information or data". Tools & IdeasGoogle Forms does a nice job of creating some graphs of data. You may use these in your poster by saving the images or taking a screenshot (Command Shift 4). Google Forms can also create a spreadsheet of results where you can sort the data. Create-a-Graph: If you'd like to make a custom graph, a great tool is Create-a-Graph. Word Cloud Tools: Some of your data can't be represented by numbers or graphs because they are short answer or word responses. A "Word Cloud" might be a nice way to represent, summarize, & share some (or all) of the responses in a visual way. Here are a few sites that allow you to create custom word clouds with your text data:

Your assignment this week is to EXPLORE, THEN CHOOSE ONE of the MANY different tools for learning and using code to CREATE something FUN and/or FUNCTIONAL! Computer coding is behind SO many (most) of the things we use every single day! To "Capture" your creation (and turn it in), you will also use a screen recording tool to create a short movie (15-30 seconds) of your creation in action. You will then upload the video clip to an assignment post in Google Classroom.
To share what you've worked on this week, you will use a screen recording tool to record a clip (under 1 minute) of your creation at work (or play). One of the easier tools to use is the program QuickTime Player on your Mac. When you launch QuickTime Player, you can select File...New Screen Recording to start a fullscreen recording of what you are doing on your computer. No Mac? No Problem - online Screen Recording Tools
AFTER your group has reviewed & edited your survey, fill out this form to turn in the link of your final version:
Please read and review ALL of these instructions as you work as a team to create a survey that will be shared with your middle school classmates. As a reminder, here is a link to the list of team groups.
Getting "Appy": Eventually, your Slides show will be like an "App" that teaches others about your chosen career. Here are some samples from a class I taught about Marine Ecology - "SeaOsk" Sample Apps Here are some sites to get you started with your career exploration research:
I've shared the saying that goes, "The best thing about the Internet is that ANYONE can build a website, and the worst thing about the Internet is that ANYONE can build a website". I'm excited to help you share your interests and ideas by teaching you how to build your own GREAT website! Your "Digital Doorway" to share with the world. We will be using the new "Google Sites" that comes with your GSuite account. It can be accessed quickly by going to sites.google.com . Starting required pages:
Use appropriate images and content. Remember the built-in Google image search as well as the image sites on our "Learning Links" page. Google has a great resource to help you learn how to set up your site: https://gsuite.google.com/learning-center/products/sites/get-started/ When you are ready to PUBLISH your site, please use your ID number at the end of the web address GSites provides: example - https://sites.google.com/hardin.k12.mt.us/123456 (this will be the address to your site) Also, as we get started, please leave leave it set to "anyone at hardin.k12.mt.us" until we're ready to go to the BIG World Wide Web. Language is a powerful thing - FLEX your vocabulary! Quizlet is a great online tool to help you learn, study, and practice new terms. It will be our way to create sets of flashcards that can be turned into different learning games and activities with just a click! To give this tool a try, use the "Be Internet Awesome" vocabulary from each of the areas of Interland. I've put them into a document for you here:
Once you have your vocab list open, go to Quizlet.com and sign up for an account using your Google Log in (super easy to sign in when you use Google Log In option).
Next, create a new set of cards for the "Be Internet Awesome" vocabulary. Quizlet is cool because it lets you use images and/or text on your cards. It will also read text to you and you can "remix" your cards into different games and activities, or even make yourself a "Practice Test" to see how well you know the words. (There's even a Quizlet App to help you study on the go! Apple/iOS & Android) |
