Description
For this assignment our job was to create an Excel Spreadsheet Data Dashboard and it was to contain all the grades from ONE our courses that we took this semester—and it was our job to create an (imaginative) classroom list, and fill the gradebook with the grades from this classroom list. We did this with homework assignments, projects, quizzes, and tests—and we had to do this for at least ten students; it was basic summative calculations of aggregate (whole class) as well as the individual performance (averages, percents, etc.). We also create a grading scale, that we used to convert the accumulated score as well is a having to give each student not only an overall letter grade, but also an individual letter grades for each of the different assignment. We needed to create were graph, but they had to be graphs that actually meant something, we had to have graph for each individual as well as a cumulative classroom graph. The final requirement was that we had to design the Data Dashboard for everyday use—meaning that it had to be easy to use and easy to adapt.
Rationale
I chose to put this artifact under InTASC 6, was because it is essentially a grade book. It is a method the I have learned to make and follow, that will better assist me with monitoring my students progress, and allows me to create simple, and easy to understand charts, that compare the students performance based on the average of the class. Having one location, to look at the my students outcomes, will help me better understand my next course of action.
