Thursday - Today is a catch-up day. If you finished the Spreadsheet assignments already you can work on typing, your website, Gamestar Mechanic or Animoto

Wednesday - Today students added two charts to their spreadsheets, just like in my example. Here are some helpful hints:

• un-share the document with me before you start making changes
• for the first graph, select cells D1 to E19 (for the second chart only select cells F1 to F19); then insert a chart and modify it so it looks exactly like mine
• change the chart title, background color, and font by using the edit feature (the pencil)
• resize and move the chart by carefully clicking and dragging
• when you're sure it looks exactly like mine, share the document with me again

Tuesday - Today we started a unit on Google Spreadsheets (like MS Excel), watching and completing the assignment in the first video in the "Google Spreasheets Tutorials" submenu. My Grades Template

Monday - Today we watched the top 3 videos from each category and voted on them (pick only 1 from each category this time). Then students practiced typing in Nitrotype again, making sure to post their top score to the blog.

Friday - Today we watched and voted on videos from the Funny and Random categories. Videos can be accessed from the pull-down menu above.

Wednesday - Today we watched and voted on videos from the Happy/Love and Sad/Sappy categories. Videos can be accessed from the pull-down menu above.

Tuesday - Today students will compute the AVERAGE and RANGE to their "Rate my Videos" spreadsheet and show it to Mr. Dwyer. Then they will choose their best video and submit it for tomorrow's Film Festival.

Monday - TYPING DAY! Practice your typing at Nitrotype, and record your best score in your blog.  Mr. Dwyer will be meeting with students 1 on 1 to discuss their websites (mean/median/mode and animoto videos).

All week, students finished their videos, added a new form ("Rate my videos") and visited the websites of their classmates to watch their videos. Mr. Dwyer met with students 1 on 1 to discuss their websites.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - First, students finish the activity from yesterday and share it with me. Then they go to Animoto.com, create a free student account and create a sappy video like the one below. Also, don't forget to add to your blog every day (hint: you should be embedding your videos into your blog)

Tuesday - Students viewed the ratings of their classmates and shared this with [email protected] for a grade. Then students found the mean, median, mode and range of the data using formulas.

Monday - Students finished viewing and rating the websites of their fellow classmates, and viewed their results in Google Drive.
