Students

Data Sharing Methods

Face-to-face meetings

Data SummaryStudents had difficulty with making forms and then manipulating the data in the spreadsheets area. Students also seemed confused about how to correctly configure their settings in Google Chrome. 90% of the students successfully set up a blog through Blogger.
Analysis SummaryWe reviewed student work as a group and were able to work out problems together.
Next Steps PlannedI plan on asking students to complete an online form that helps them describe their business at the beginning of the course. I will also ask them to create a spreadsheet at the beginning of the course that they can use to track their progress.

Changes

DetailsBecause the class was conducted using Google's online tool and cloud storage system, I was able to ask students to email me their work or share it with me through Google Drive. This was doubly useful as I could archive their work and test their understanding of the tools at the same time.
