Excel Spreadsheet-- Performance Based Assessment

For the performance based assessment, we were given a set of data with which to work. We had to use the data to calculate averages, create a chart in scientific style, and conduct a Ttest. Before this week I had never heard of a Ttest, so that was interesting. We had to create a document that displayed this result, and publish it via GoogleDocs.

One thing that is noticeable is that not everything can be uploaded to GoogleDocs. Charts with pictures and Ttests CANNOT be uploaded directly to GoogleDocs-- in that case, they lose their pictures.

This activity promotes NETS standard 3, substandard d, which states that teachers will: "model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning."
