Data, and Documents, and Pivots....Oh My!

I know about data....in education today, we are a data-driven society! Just last week, I spent about 10 hours of my Thanksgiving holiday analyzing my students' benchmark assessment, then pouring over EVAAS data. Compared all of that to student grades, STAR tests.....

So, when I saw the project was entitled Data Driven Project do you think I was too worried? Nah. Opening the documents, I was fascinated with all the data. Found myself playing around with those pivot tables....loved how I could sort the data and look at certain details.

Was moving right along with the project until I had to make my own pivot table. Hit a snag! Even got my the tech teacher at my school to tutor me. Still a snag!

Have learned about pivot tables---an entirely new tech concept for me. Learned how administrators can use them to really sort through the data and look at certain groups of students, at particular teachers, etc. Learned that I still have a lot to learn when it comes to creating my own pivot tables, though!
