Focus: Share - Tohatoha
What a great day of Sharing and Learning!
We deep dived and explored Google Forms, Spreadsheets and Maps.
Using these particular Google tools was a first for me, and caught my curiosity and attention.
MYMaps included simple exercises of pinning locations, using a measuring tool and uploading data from a google form database to the map. We all came up with different and FUN ways that this tool could be used; Create a map for your community, Create a route, Measure Distance and Area, Mobile Maps to name a few.
The following is a map I created, and the pins displayed our DFI Teams best holiday destinations. I've also pinned my walking route to work.
Some of my learning included Google Sheets by using pivot tables to summarize data, making it easier to understand all information contained in a spreadsheet. You can analyze large amounts of data and narrow down large data sets to see the relationships between data points. We were introduced to different students blogs to see how the data of posts and locations can be analysed and displayed in different ways. I looked at a student from Point England School blog post data. The column graph below that I created on google sheets, shows the monthly data. From looking at this graph you can tell that this student may have taken part in the Summer Learning Journey; having shared 29 blog posts during
January 2019. Fabulous effort!
As the week goes on I feel I will be titivating this blog as there was so much information to process. A big thank you to the wonderful facilitators and sharing their knowledge and experiences.
Mauri ora,
