Dealing With Data

So often, I have made assumptions that students come into the high school science class knowing the basics of handling data. I wanted to begin this year with a primer on data. My goal for this project was also to incorporate last week's work on data bases that could be used for inquiry work. That went beyond the scope of this project and my time. The above presentation has a couple of graphic errors, and I made enhancements to the next screencast project below. In addition, I finally figured out how to embed each of these presentations. That in itself was an accomplishment for me. Any and all criticisms of the project are welcome.



The graphics were improved in the screencast. I am really excited about the possibilities of this technology. I can have students review these prior to class or have available materials that absent students missed.



This was the tough one. When I started the project, the excel graphs in the ppt did not appear. I found out they would not appear unless I converted the ppt to a pdf. After downloading two free pdf conversion programs, the convert ppt to pdf program WORKED! It was a simple project once this was accomplished. Here is the link to the free download in case you have the same problem in the future. Note the conversion program appears in the slides. I would need to purchase the program for that to disappear. I can get along with the tag line.
