Google survey

My google survery consists of assessing your level of Spanish proficiency. It's a very basic survey that utilizes all of the question format options. Here is a link to my survey.
Upon completion of the survey, we can view all of the results/answers in a spreadsheet. Here is a link to my spreadsheet.
This activity is most applicable to ISTE standard 2.d: provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

Online Graphing Tools

In this activity, we were supposed to create two separate graphs that illustrated West Virginia versus the national average test scores. We used data from the NAEP West Virginia State Profile. (The NAEP data utilized can be accessed via this link.) We used Kid's Zone to create our graphs. The purpose of this activity was to demonstrate how different graphs can be utilized to interpret the same exact data, and how it can be used to your benefit. This activity is related to ISTE standard 3.C: communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.

Prezi Presentation Tool

We learned how to use the Prezi Presentation Tool. It is an innovative presentation tool that provides an alternative to Powerpoint. Prezi is also accessible via the "internet cloud." In my opinion, this type of technology is most applicable to ISTE NETS 2.a: design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
