DFI 4 Dealing with Data

Day 4 Today we discussed the share - tohatoha part of our learning. This resonates with me as the most important factor in designing learning and creating is knowing who the audience is. When you know who you are presenting to, one can make informed decisions and craft accordingly.
With blogs we know the audience is beyond our own setting therefore we need to add the information which will help a reader or viewer. These are valuable teaching points for students to understand and use to shape and craft their work.
The session also covered using data and forms to create work. The data around blogging was discussed as a starting part of a new year through statistics for learners. I will definitely use this as a way of teachers knowing and understanding what has previously happened for learners. I will also explore the blogging patterns especially over the lockdown period which has increased.  We will explore what is the extent and impact of this practice for learners?
As learners do not have access to the settings function teachers will need to support by providing the data for blogging history. As with all data, there is a story to be told. Deciding on what is important to learn, therefore what is important to find out,  what is the impact, and for whom overtime underpin what is needed in sheets to understand collective next steps.
A great session to brush up on google sheets (much easier in google). Thanks team.
