Agenda: Excel Pictograph Tutorial

What is a pictograph? A graphical representation that shows numerical information by using picture symbols. A form of bar graph with the bars replaced by rows or columns of symbols.

Note: I have posted a link to an example of a pictograph on our Productivity Tools Description.

In order to orient ourselves, I have provided a link to a video regarding how to create a pictograph. It is called "Making a Pictograph in Excel." The tutorial we will be using to create our pictograph is called "An "excel"lent way to create pictographs for younger students."

Make sure you are using the rubric as a guide to make sure that you are meeting the requirements for Productivity Tools Assignment. Good news, I have extended the deadline to Monday, September 24 (due at the beginning of class) from Friday, September 21. Friday, September 21st will be a Independent Work day, that means I will not be in class but you are welcome to work in the lab until the next class begins. The blog posting (reflection) regarding the LoTi Levels is still due on Monday, the 17th by the beginning of class. Don't forget!

To do:

1. Monday, have at least one of the products you have created on saved onto your memory stick. We will work on how to create screen shots for your webpages. If you want to get started here is a handout that we will be using.

2. Make sure your blog posting is saved (published) before class so I can grade it for you.

3. Start puting your reflection together (the one that will be the content for your Productivity Tools Page).
