Line Graphs
My honest opinion of this assignment is that it will not be a necessity in my classroom (though if someone wants to sway me otherwise I'm willing to listen). There are so many programs that students need to know how to use to create graphs and charts that this website is irrelevant for the students that I want to teach. Now, maybe for younger kids its simplicity will benefit them, but for the high school students that will be in my classroom I think it is more vital to preparing them for the 'real world' that they learn how to use excel and word or other similiar programs. Now I do like exploring the various options to integrate technology with education on the internet, but I think as educators we can't get too carried away and use something just because it's new and different unless its better. If we don't choose the best option then our students aren't getting familarized with the technology or information that they will most likely need to use later.
My discussion of each graph is under its image (follow the link above).
This information came from the NAEP website.
The assignment sheet says to include teh graphing tool (?) I'm not sure what this is referring to. Any help? I'll post this question to the blackboard site as well.
