Class 16: Excel Pictography and Seating Chart

Happy Valentine's Day!





Today we will work on Excel Pictograph and Seating Chart.
On Monday, we worked with Excel to create our grading sheet and attendance sheet. Today we are going to continue our work with Excel, to create some diagram with it.

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: Here is an example of pictograph.
I have also 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.

On Friday, please make sure you bring every object that you have created to the class, because we are going to:
  • Make screenshot of your projects
  • Upload all your nine objects to your web-portfolios
  • Write reflections
