Birthday Database
Description-
Students collect 15 names, date of birth, and ages of their classmates. Data is inputted to MS Excel with the formatting shown in the example. Students use the Autofilter feature in Excel to sort their data chronologically from youngest to oldest. They then copy and paste the data table to a MS Word file (shown in the example). They need to use standard reporting page set-up with a header, title and indented paragraphs with 1.5-2 line spacing. They must write an introductory paragraph, show the data table, and write a summary paragraph that extrapolates and describes at least 2 pieces of data shown in the table.
Reflection-
This project I collected data from 15 students in my Tech Lit class. I collected their birthday and their advisor. I put it in a table in excel and organized it by date of birth. After that I copied it into word. I wrote a little explaining what the table was showing. When I was complete I saved the word.doc as a PDF, then uploaded it onto my ePortfolio.
