Data ToolPack Research overview

I had a hard time finding the tool menu when trying to add the toolpack to Excel. After looking and researching Excel I finally figured out how to add the toolpack menu. I clicked on file and scrolled down to the option, the menu came up and Add-In was one that was offered. After clicking on Add-In, I had to click on the inactive application menu to make the toolpack active.

This assignment reflects Standard 5 because because of the Professional Growth of using Excel to keep record of grades and other data inside the classroom. Excel has different ways to calculate different types of material and by keeping grades, or making a list of students of what they need or what they might be doing, is a great learning and professional growth process.

Millennial

This website asks you certain questions because how you react to certain situations and how you value different outcomes. I found the results to be close to who I am and how I value life. It's funny how 67 questions can come close to your personality.
This assignment reflects Standard 2, the questions that are being asked would be a great tool to use ons students and parent volunteer survey. I would find it interesting to find out the results of the many different personalities that are in this world.

This assignment would be good for a high school assignment, but teachers would have to go over each stpe because the process of getting this assignment submitted was confusing. Technology can be tricky, and by that, I mean that every computer is different. For some odd reason, I had a hard time when downloading LAME encoder.

The ISTE NETS standards that would be best for this assignments are standards 1 and 5. Standard 1 is inspiring and helpes students creativity and learning. Standard 5 shows that we are engaging professional development. An example of Standards 1 from this assignment shows modeling and showing creative thinking.
