SS3 Integration

Wow, this project was a lot of work. I started on this even before the election, as you can probably tell by the subject matter. It seems like something the students could really get interested in though. I did this for a 9th grade world history class because I am currently observing this class. I believe the election is something that all Social Studies classes should in someway discuss the election. It took me a little to figure out the google sites, but in the end I worked it out. It was definitely worth the work and I think I would be able to use this lesson once I get my own classroom and will be able to teach my own lessons. Although, I suppose I will have to wait four years. Here is my site :)

Grades 2

I thought this assignment was a little difficult. The IF and COUNTIF functions were new to me. I had to figure them out, but once I did it was alright. I used 93 as an A, 83 as a B and so forth. I hope I did everything else right. I know it said to have the percentages, but when you put the cursor over the different parts of the pie chart, it will say the percentage, so I am taking that as enough. This is my grades2 exercise :)

Grades 1

This assignment was very informative. I have worked with spreadsheets in a computer class in high school, but that is about as much as I ever have. It can definitely be a useful tool with all of the formulas and formatting that can be done. It was also really useful tool for creating charts. Here is a link to my grades1 page :)
