ILP #2- Designing with Tableau

Hey everybody,

https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/13191825/79734998

For my ILP #2 I used the data visualization software known as Tableau to create a story through data That I can use in a classroom setting. Tableau is a great product becasue it offers a lot of ways to create visuals than other programs like excel can offer.

The project I created through Tableau was a simple visual story about Cuban sugar production and its political implications. It is linked below.

    Hey Elias! This is an interesting approach to communicating data, I enjoy the easy maneuverability of the chart, and I like your unique topic choice. From engaging with your ILP, I learned of a major global economic statistic in simple, direct descriptions. Overall, great job!

    Hello Elias! How awesome is Tableau! Thank you for teaching me about this designing tool. I believe it is essential to know how to create visuals for the classroom setting. Great topic, it taught me a lot about Cuba's sugar history. Great job!

Hey everyone, Diigo has been very interesting to work with these through the last GICAs that we did. It was a program that I never knew about or even heard of. Diigo for me is great cause allows for a group to crowd source resources and articles. This would allow teachers to use crowd sourcing in their career more with both students and other teachers. I can see apply what we use Diigo for in our GICAs in a regular classroom with whatever topic we are working on, so they can see how to use the program and how they can work together to retrieve and annotate possible sources for a project or paper. The ability to comment on others annotations is also a really good way students to work together and talk about sources. Bloom's Taxonomy in lesson creation can be boosted through technology, to prove this, I will go over how PowerPoint can help at each level of the Taxonomy chart. Create: PowerPoint assignment are a great way to put the students in the shoes of the teachers and gi...

Blog 5: Diigo, Blogs, and Web 2.0 Tools

Hey everybody, We are starting to work more with Diigo in class with GICAs and in class activities. In the beginning of the semester I had no idea what it was or what even "social bookmarking" meant. Know that we have had sometime to use the program, its a cool concept that I did not know was out there that people and educators can use. I like the idea of crowd sourcing through annotated websites or articles cause allows more groundwork to be cover when researching a topic in a group because more people are finding relevant resources for you to explore. The interface and how the program works can be fixed in my opinion. The program feels a bit clunky at times when I am trying to annotate it and that makes it feel like I cannot annotate it the way I want to. Overall I think social bookmarking is something I want to explored more in my career. Blogging is something I thought I would not like to do because to be honest, I never saw myself having a blog ever in my life. Thoug...

Blog 10: Data Collection, Blogs, and New Skills

Hey everybody, I think I can use data collection and reporting as a history teacher as a way to check my students' knowledge about topics so I can better know what I should teach and what I can skip over. I could let them do a survey at the beginning of the year or semester, asking how well they know certain historical topics and ask them what they want to learn. This would help me better refine my lesson plan and make it a better fit for my class so I am not going over things they either already know or something they are not interested in. With data reporting, I think I would use it as a way to better visualize certain things for them to understand. I love visualizations, as seen in my two ILPS, therefore I would use excel to make some simple graphs and charts to show them a new way to look at the numbers/data. My favorite thing when I was looking at other peoples blogs was looking at there assignments that we had to post about. Seeing every bodies website, PowerPoint and ILP...
