Session 4: Dealing with Data

I have used Google Forms before with my class only as a survey. I hadn't explored all the other functions.  I enjoyed making a Google Form for my tamariki to do where they have to first watch a video about our inquiry topic then complete the series of questions. I am wondering if I can get them to create a Google Form..??

Google Sheets is not something that I use very often. I know how to use the basic functions which gets me through what I need it for! So, I wasn't overly excited about using it today! However, I really enjoyed it and certainly did level up my skills. I immediately went into some data tables that I have in Google Docs and transferred them to Sheets added alternating colours to my rows and conditional formatting. These are two functions that I am happy to now have in my kete making my data clear and easy to understand.

We used our Google Sheets skills to do a data case study on a students blog. I chose to analyze Dyzon’s blog. First, we had to collect data on how many posts a month Dyzon did over his 3 year blogging journey. Then present these in a column graph. As you can see Dyzon has become quite a confident blogger!
