Today, we were very excited to try out the ipads for social studies. We used piccollage to create collages of a given topic. However, the challenge was saving and uploading our collages to the class presentation on our Sciences sociales page. We are still trying to work out the hiccups.
In math, we learned how to create a broken-line graph on Microsoft Excel. One group had time to create their graph and describe the trends they saw. The others are still a working on it.
Unfortunately, even though it worked at home copying and pasting the Excel graph into our Google Doc Presentation on my blog did not work! Students had to save and then email me their graphs, then I had to open them, copy them and paste them into our slide show. So now, most groups still have to analyze the trends, and we need to consolidate our learning and give feedback to each group. I did notice that many groups did not remember to use the success criteria for creating graphs - titles and labels are missing. The docs are still in edit mode, so we will be able to revisit tomorrow.
Exciting as our learning was, not all went as smoothly as desired. I hope student will show their parents what they learned today by visiting our Data Management page on this blog.
Tomorrow, we will continue both lessons -with the tech - and hope that everything works according to plan.
