Quality Blog Commenting #powerhive8

Today we looked at creating quality blog comments. We used padlet, read some blogs, watch videos of students who created quality blog comments, revisited our padlet and we are now working on our reflections about the learning we did today with +James Hopkins.

We are looking forward to the positive and quality blog commenting by PowerHive8!

Statistics, T3, W4 #powerhive8

In PowerHive 8 this week we are setting goals for our statistics learning. We did an eAsttle pre test to determine what we know. Each of us accessed our consoles to determine what our next steps are. We each chose 3 learning goals from the 'To Be Achieved' or 'Gaps' boxes on our consoles.

Without consulting with our friends this is what the data showed for statistics in PowerHive 8:

We then discussed what the bar graph showed about statistics knowledge in PowerHive 8. How would Mr Crowe decide what we should learn next? Will everyone need to learn it? Or just the people who have identified that particular goal from their consoles?

Interestingly the tallest bar graph was; "Make statements about data shown in a statistical display". We were practicing this as we discussed our learning as a class!

Our next step is to attend workshops which will allow us to tackle the learning goals we derived from our consoles. By the end we hope to become phenomenal Data Detectives!

What is exponential technology?

One of our reading groups in Room 8 is working on find and selecting information. They are looking into the topic of exponential technology. What is it? Who does it impact? Where to from here?

They will also be using a scanning grid to collate and present the result of their finding and selecting.

The first text they are looking at can be found at http://www.findyourbillion.co.nz/learn/.

Have a read and let us know what you think!
