Yesterdays posting dealt with the use of spreadsheets in IA to draw graphs. I provided you with a link to a document that you could use to teach students how to draw ‘good’ graphs. If you remember, this could also be linked in with the second ICT aim in IA, ie, the use of software fro graph plotting.
Today’s posting is really an extension of this.
How many times have you asked students to write up a lab report that needs a graph to be drawn and ended up marking one of those poorly drawn excel graphs?
You know the ones I mean, the graphs with no grid lines on the x axis and that silly comment box ‘series 1′! We have all been there I am sure.
There are a number of good ICT exercises to be found on the OCC.
However, the following exercise has recently been brought to my attention and I think it is particularly good.
