With all the protests and controversy in Madison over the last week I find I am looking at the "statistics" of the situation differently. I have seen a couple of polls and it is interesting how different some of them really are...having some background knowledge has helped me try to find the polls, surveys or studies that are relying on accurate info.
I have to say that this week was less intimidating than last week and I am feel a tad more comfortable with my ability to actually do stats. :)

Week One...Stats
Well having not taken a math class of any kind since my freshman year of college I would have to say its a little bit scary. I like math but statistics seems to be a little bit different than most of the math classes I enjoyed!!! :) This week was a somewhat overwhelming and hard to navigate but am sure that things will eventually all make more sense.
I am really hoping to gain a better understanding of stats and its terminology through this course. I also am hoping to learn how to calculate results accurately.

SMART goal
I am really excited to start adding curriculum material to my google site in the next week or so before I leave on maternity. I really think this is going to only add to my instruction and student learning.
S - I will create, maintain and use a google site for all my art classes
M - I will be able to use it for my personal use this year. Next year I will have the site ready for students access and use for announcements, homework, rubrics, links and collaboration activities.
A - I will update my google calendar weekly and add any new annoucements as needed. I will check the site daily and make time afterschool to update.
R - I will be creating a page for each course (not class section) so that it will be manageable to update. This site will be a great way to "house" my important information for the course in a clear and efficient manner.
T- I plan to have the site ready for student use by the beginning of next year as I will be out on maternity leave in 2 weeks and will not be returning this school year.
