Word: Students will
write a paper that is sectioned off into specific word counts, formatting, spell
check, thesaurus, images/graphs, etc using many tools from word. The students will have to have the
paper put together under specifics such as: Margin and font sizes, font style,
image placement throughout the paper, and proper range of word count.
Excel: Students will
have to choose an athlete and record their career or season averages in excel.
They will to find the athlete’s per game average of a certain stat and have it
formatted, so excel is formulated automatically and the final stat appears
without manual change. The math for the final averages will be done for the
student by excel.
PowerPoint:
Students will do a biography presentation on an athlete of their choice. In this presentation PowerPoint is
mandatory. They will need to include a video clip, images, and text throughout
the slides of their presentation.
Loga,
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea on the pro-player season average assignments using and Excel spreadsheet. I think that would definitely be teachinga across the curriculum and allows students who may not be the best on the track or field an advantage in the area of technology. Sometimes I feel that PE is so focused on the most athletic and talented kids that it fails to recognize the well-rounded active students. But these assignments would allow students to exhibit all their talents equally being assessed.
