DFI Day 4 Dealing with Data

Day 4 of DFI was done remotely due to Covid19 closing down schools and gatherings and sending us all into lockdown! So our new DFI Friday cohort was a Google Hangout with 29 teachers and facilitators gathering digitally from all around the country.
We began our day about 'Dealing with Data' hanging out with Dorothy (wow great alliteration Donna!!) and learnt the importance of the SHARE or TOHATOHA part.
Loved the sentence: Share is the sign that you've finished the learning!
It's also the sign to start the learning.
There was a whole lot of sharing going on today...even a recipe or two!
And especially important when we were all isolated in our own homes, thinking we'd be on our own trying to keep up. The chat and questions were invaluable, so was the small group practice and consolidation of what we had learnt.

Today I learnt how to make and send a Google Form so that I could collect some data.

We learnt how to use Google My Maps and brainstormed how we could use them in our classes.

I used Google Sheets to put some data into a spreadsheet and practised turning that data into a graph or chart.


Then we had a hangout with Robyn Anderson about Creating data from the childrens' blog posts. We practised recording data into a google sheet and making a graph.

Kerry discussed the importance of using Labels on our Blog posts and I have copied and pasted some to use in the future. 

Right now I'm heading out onto 90 Mile Beach beach for a walk... there's plenty of distance there, especially a low tide...!!
