Surveys and collecting data

Today we learned how to create web based forms such as a survey. When creating the survey there are 6 types of questions we can use. These 6 different types are text, paragragh text, mutiple choice, checkboxes, choose from a list, and scale. We also had a few of the students in our class take our survey and we learned how to view the results in the spreadsheet and the summary of the results showing bar charts, graphs etc. You can take the survey that I created by clicking here SURVEY  Here is a link to google docs forms to try it yourself. Also here is a link to the spreadsheet with the results from my survey.

ISSUU is an online PDF viewer. It is a free tool that you can use to view books in a magazine format. This allows you to zoom on different parts of the page all without having carry a textbook around.

Prezi is a free web based tool that allows you to view presentations and create presentations. In Prezi you have one slide in which you put all your imformation and it zooms in on the different pieces of text and images on that slide.We also learned that in Prezi you should group your information so your not zooming all over the slide and making your audience motion sick. Here is a link to to PREZI

Jeopardy games

Today we learned different ways to review for a class by using Jeopardy on the web with Jeapardy Labs and also in powerpoint. Here is a link to Jeapardy Labs. Jeapardy Labs is basically text based compared to creating a jeopardy in powerpoint where we and inserting media and insert different graphics. By using powerpoint we are able to insert sounds and graphics to make our jeopardy game more fun and interesting to my students.
Todays activity relates to teaching standard

2c) customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.

I could use todays activity to help my students review for a test while keeping their full attention because they want to win the game. This can also be used to customize a Jeopardy game to catch my students attention by using a different approach then the normal "writing on the blackboard setting."
