Wow! Another week of so much information! It was interesting learning about survey software. Although we had learned about sites like SurveyMonkey in the past, I really didn't think of it at statistics! It's pretty amazing to see all the different survey sites that are out there that let you use them for free.
Once again, I have to give credit to Andrew. This stuff is so easy for him, yet he takes the time to explain it to the rest of us in his group who are usually totally lost! Yay Andrew!

Week 1 of Statistics
Wow! What a week! I have to admit, I am scared to death of this class now that I know it's about statistics. However, I am very glad to have Andrew in my group. Being a high school stats teacher, he is able to "dumb it down" for the rest of us in the group so we can begin to understand it a little bit. It's been a rough week, especially with everything the governor is throwing on our plates! Yikes! I have to confess that has been stealing my attention away from class a little bit, and it's been very hard to concentrate.
With that said, I'm hoping I will start to see how this class will impact what I do in third grade, since that is always my focus. I understand the importance of statistics in life, but I need to find out how it applies to me in my little corner of the world.

My new class wiki
I now have a SMART goal for my classroom!
S: I would like to incorporate a class wiki which my students can access daily for assignments,
class news, etc.
M: I will prove it is done by assigning my students usernames, clearing it with my principal, and
using it in my classroom.
A: I definitely have the resources and time to do this, since my wiki is already complete. The
only hurdles I may have to tackle are clearing it with administration and getting parent
permission.
R: It is definitely doable. My wiki is very third-grader-friendly, it may actually save me time
because my kids will do some assignments online instead of turning in papers I have to
correct.
T: This will be done by February 18th. This will give me enough time to get it back after I've
submitted it for this course, talk to administration, contact parents, and introduce it to my
students.
I am so excited to start using a class wiki with my students! I had a lot of fun creating it, and I think it will really motivate my students.
