Graphing Again

Today we were given the assignment to use data from this site. Called State Profiles.net. Then we had to create a graph and given an explanation to argue and defend the performance of the state and the money has been allotted when referring to the differences between West Virginia and the national scores.

I used Kids Zone again, the link is in the previous blog post.

And here is a link to my graph and explanation.

Jing

We worked on our Prezi presentations more today, and we learned about a new tool called Jing. It works like the snipping tool, so that you can do image captures from the internet, but it also provides other features. You can edit the images and do all kinds of cool things with them. You can also use it for screen casting.

Click here for Jing.

And this is a link to a great article on different free screen casting tools.
