Today we met as a group and finished our powerpoint. We also started to look at lesson plans to prepare for our lesson for the class.

# data[].attributes.body
I looked over the power point and thinking

of more ideas we can do. Learning more

about Tinkerplots and what to do with

the application! (especially with outside

sources)

After the test i asked Megan some of the questions we had about our presentation and powerpoint, here are some of the main points we talked about:

-Tell class what kind of lessons tinker plots can be used for in the classroom

-Can't go wrong with a 6 min presentation

-It doesn't matter what we demonstrate in presentation but she recommends including a demonstration of something they will be doing in the lesson

-Drag and drop is always good to show and then how to make different graphs with that data

Weekly update: Over the weekend I made myself more familiar with the kind of lessons tinker plots can be used for in the classroom. I also made myself familiar with the drag and drop feature.

this is a mini article about how long tinkerplots is going to be free so I'm not sure if we want to include that in the powerpoint or not.

This past week, I downloaded Tinkerplots (shoutout to Rachel!)

I also started at different lesson plan ideas that were on the internet to

begin thinking of ideas for what we want to do for our lesson. KeyCurriculum

had a ton of great lesson ideas with premade data sets that we could use to

demonstrate with the rest of the class! Here's a link to the website-

includes tinkerplots "help" tab which gives a bunch of information

that is short and clear. Really good website.

Hey guys! I finally figured out how to get tinker plots on our laptops so we don't have to go to the lab anymore.

Website has information on what tinkerplots is, how to use it and activities you can do in the classroom. They have movie tutorials that are easy to follow and sample data/activities we can use to get used to tinkerplots and what we can do with it.

I did the Tutorial Basic and learned how to make cards and then drag a table down with the same statistics. I also used the social studies stats for US students. I was able to organize the information in many different ways.

In the computer lab, we all explored TinkerPlots, did tutorials and used sample data sets to learn how to us it. -Maggie

*This gets an idea on what Tinkerplot is and what sets it apart from other

statistic programs. Also has some tutorials!

*We will reserve the computer lab for our lesson

*During our lesson, our first 5 minutes will allow the students to play around with given data

so they can get a feel for the program.
