Crappy Graphs! by Brian Shaler - 0 views

Andrea Blanco on 26 Jul 14A Web 2.0 tool I plan to use next school year is crappygraphs.com. Last school year, my class of students (which will remain the same for next school year) K-5th grade worked on creating graphs by hand, beginning as a whole group and then working to generalize the skill to each individual. As the year progressed most students were able to obtain the necessary skills to create the graph. Most of my students have MAJOR issues with regression, so moving on is hard to do without refreshing regularly. I found crappygraphs.com and think it will be perfect. Technology is an area that my students lack knowledge of; however, is a high interest activity. This will allow our skills to keep growing and include an opportunity for growth. Crappygraphs is simply a web based graph making software. I loved the name, because it will easily be remembered as "crappy" is considered a respectful word that is allowed in our normal classroom environment. I feel this will make the software accessible to student memory for use even as my students move into middle and high school. EDUC 573
