This project was introduced to me by Dan Meyer here and his post-mortem here. He tried it before Google Docs, Forms, and Sheets were really a thing so that is a major thing that I will be changing. I also don't plan on devoting as much time in the end as he did so it's probably not going to go well?
I love lists and I see all the time how students need more experience with spreadsheets so this seems like a fun way to do it. I'm thinking I will ask students to track 3 things of their choosing and then one that we all do together. But the one we do together, I want to be the same for every single course.
I don't really even know how to introduce it or explain it but...I want to do it?
I came up with a list of possible things to track (some based on what I know about my kids):
Data Doc
- Quiz grades
- Test grades
- Attendance
- Snap streaks
- Instagram likes
- Netflix seasons/episodes
- YouTube videos watched
- Points scored
- Money made/spent
- Books read
- Texts sent/received
- Miles traveled
- Fish caught
- Geese/turkey/deer shot
- Sodas consumed
- Fast food I eat
- Hours of sleep
- Temperature
- Minutes of sports watched
- Songs listened to
Also I really enjoy making cute powerpoints so I hope that part can be kind of fun for them as well. Obviously this needs work and structure but I had to at least get the thoughts out there.
Any ideas?
