Using Data

After making my concept map on colleges, again I thought why don't I use some data I can give my student to manipulate.  This month I'm going to work with my students on creating graphs so this data is something they can work with.  We talk all the time about how much money you can make with a college degree vs a high school degree so why not let them manipulate this when working on using data?

I'm pasting in the the data table and one possible graph you can make out of this.  Data is taken from the the National Center for Education Statistics

...Scratch that - I can't figure out how to get the data in the blog!

Concept Maps

I wasn't in class for the concept map assignment (Happy Rosh Hashana everyone) so I decided to make a concept map on a different topic.  I teach a college readiness course to my 10th graders and I spend a lot of time working with them on the various factors to get into college.  So instead I made a concept map about that - and hopefully I can show this to them at some point!

New blog!

This will be my new blog for Computers, Problem Solving and Cooperative Learning.  I'll be putting up work for the mini project as well as some of the computer work I've done in my own classroom!
