The second part of the workshop for this week involved investogating how you can use a MS Excell spreadsheet in a fun and engaging way.
The activity we participated in was M&M's candy coloured chart.
The activity involves puttin people into pairs and each having a packet of M&M's. you have to go through the M&M's in your packet and sort them into their colours.
Next we were to design a spreadsheet that was creative as we liked and then add in the data collected. For exmaple however many red, blue, green M&M's.
We then created a graph, which ever one we wanted and also added pictures and a heading.
This activity was fun and engaging and students would really like it becasue they are working with brightly coloured lollies. The only downfall may be that most of the lollies get eaten before the task is complete!
This activity envolves the students participating in literacy, numeracy, ICT and social skills.
The M&M's website also has aditional ideas and activites that teachers may be able to use.
