Week 8
we continued our look at excel this week, but this time at more complex functions and incorporating them into our grade books.
i learnt how to show and distinguish grades from A to F, based on each students’ total mark/percentage out of 100. this is a useful funtion that saves a lot of time and mental calculations – all the work is being done for me!
we also began to look at Inspiration and Kidspiration – programs used for creating detailed mind maps. the fun with this program is that the mind maps can be created using graphics to make it fun and a better visual representation, rather than just a bunch of words.
Kidspiration especially will be highly valuable for me when teaching primary students, as it is a fun, interactive and hands-on learning experience.
