Additional Resources
Transaction notes for activities
The transaction notes will include the following components. The activities are expected to be cumulative.
- Time estimate
- Prior preparation
- Methodology
- Discussion questions
- Instructions for student led activities
- Subject integration
- Assessment (portfolio as evidence of digital skills)
- Student portfolio as learning resources for other students
Data tell stories
- This activity will take 80 minutes
- Data sets have to be prepared (in sets of 2 or 3) for each computer/ group of students. A data folder must be created on each computer and the data sets copied.
- Copy the data folder on the computers. For each data set, make a set of questions for the students to answer after a study of the graph. After the students complete the analysis, encourage them to express the summary of the analysis in the form of a mind map. The following questions can be given to the students for discussion
- What are the data elements captured?
- Is the data giving your exact numbers or only relative estimation?
- What can you conclude from the data?
- What are the advantages in each kind of representation? When do you think each method is suited?
- What further information on the topic would you like to find out?
- The data sets can be drawn so as to represent different subjects
- Rubrics for assessment
- Ability to navigate the folder and open the graph/ image
- Creating a text document and saving with an appropriate file name
Organizing data to make meaning
- Time estimate
- Prior preparation
- Methodology
- Discussion questions
- Subject integration
- Assessment
