Cheap and Easy! I had a excellent time establishing a Viemo account and uploading a video on the free web based program. I tried to email the video to my email account but my Iphone said that the video was too big. So I uploaded it directly. From there I put the video onto my computer then went directly into my Viemo account and uploaded. I put a title on the video with a brief description. Its great! The only thing I do warn that it does take some time, uploading and viewing a video for the first time, so plan ahead of time that you need it.
Today when I was at Wilson High School in southwest Portland the health teacher and I got into a discussion on incorporating technology in a health classroom. I showed him my blog, and he loved it. He is now allowing me to teach a few lessons using the technology we learned in class. Thus this class turned out to be useful in such a short amount of time. Thank you Barry!

#8 Google spread sheet & class data
I had a good time re learning how to use a spread sheet. In high school I had some experience using the Microsoft Excel program but never with Google Spreadsheet. I love Google and I love it even more with a the tool they called Spreadsheet. To define Goggles Spreadsheet, I would say you can save a ton of time and energy when collecting and organizing data, a great tool in analyzing numbers and to see progress. I started by setting up my own spread sheet and copying the raw data to my new sheet. From there I just followed the videos step by step and linked and embedded.
I had the great experience of learning how to use a spreadsheet!

The data shown below are the scores of the students who were struggling during the first part of the semester. I took the last 5 weeks of test scores to see if improvement was evident. We do see that the test average does go up in the last couple of weeks. Test 6 had a test average of 161.33 on the test while on Test 10 had a average of 191.83. The student most improved was Vincent, Test 6 he had a score of 175 compared to Test 10 he had a score of 215, giving him a difference of 40 points. While Scott was the least improved, improving only 10 points between Test 6 and Test 10.
As a result of these test scores, I would seek out the students who had minimal gain and ask them about the material. I would then figure out what other ways can I express this material in such a way that they will be able to relate to it. I would then offer some strategies as to how they can study for the material so that will will also stick with them in the long run.
