Day Two in the classroom on the computer:

graphing your data

You may use the program provided or you can use MS Word or MS Excel if you like. http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/
Which ever program you choose, be sure your students know how to work it. Remember to have students save their graphs at the end of the class period. Save the graph with the subject of the data and/or students group #. All graphs must be emailed to: joyce@kidlink.net

Within the 3 school days after graphs are emailed (provided your partnered school doesn't have a holiday, snow day, network down, or other emergency) your students’ dgraphs will be posted and ready. It is very important you keep communication open with your paired teacher  and project coordinator.  Have a few lesson plans available. Taking time to learn your way around the kidlink site is recommended while you wait for the  graph data.

Encourage Students to login to the kidlink site in their free time and at home. Promote Dialog!

Day Three on the Computer and on Kidlink:

Day Three On Kidlink: Log on to the Stats for Cool Math Cats project. Find your matched school and corresponding student partners take their data and calculate their median, mean, mode and range of their graphs and your graph, post your answers to their graph. Have students go to their paired groups graph and make comments at the bottom of the page.  Student's comments should reflect contrasting and compairing of the graphed data. Have students check the comment section on own graph, and on your class page. Have each student reply all comments using their best netiquette.
