During this module, I was able to create an Excel file to record data and turn that data into a chart. Yea! When I first started, I was fearful that I wouldn't actually be able to figure it out. I tried out the Atomic Learning website and found some tutorial videos on Excel. What a great resource. I had no idea that I had access to all of that. I will definitely be using that again. These were very helpful. I also ended up searching the help within Excel and watched a couple of their videos. I must admit, though, I finally figured it out with some trial and error. The videos helped me figure out how Excel is organized and then I was able to search and experiment with some of the appropriate tools. I do not think I could have done this on my own. Luckily Excel seems to have a formula for everything. I was able to look at the formulas for the different types of charts and graphs and edit them to include the cells that I wanted to utilize and tweak the graph to represent the columns that I wanted. I certainly couldn't have written the formula on my own. Overall, I feel good that I could use the program and create something simple and useful for my classroom. I'm going to use this data/chart to log progress monitoring for a reading intervention called Read Naturally. I will use this as a way to report progress to parents.
Here is my data:
