Bulging Backpacks: Scatter Plots
How Blogging Can Be Used:
1. Pre-Assess understanding of scatter plots by having students post comments to an initial question
2. Allow the class to work in groups and once their scatter plot is created, have them take a picture with their mobile device (or a digital or document camera) and post the picture to the blog using the email posting address. Have other groups comment to the image post on what they observe and how it compares to the scatter plot they created
3. As an exit slip, use an online polling website as a formative assessment tool and embed the question into a blog post
