Data was the big topic today and the group covered Google Forms, MyMaps and Sheets. There was a great amount of content. The challenge was to use a 'create' tool to analyse data and then share the analysis on our blogs. I decided to analyse my blog post frequency over the last 4 years and think about the trends that the analysis shows.
Firstly, I investigated my total posts. I was a little surprised by the downwards trend, although 2019 hasn't finished yet. I looked a little closer at 2016 and was reminded that in that year I was totally new to Google Drive and blogged everything I learned so that my blog could be used by me as a tutoring tool when I forgot. I also reflected that since 2017, I have been carrying two major roles for Kootuitui ki Papakura so that was the most probably reason for the dramatic decrease in posts. Oh, and with this post, my 2019 total will rise to 12!
Secondly, I investigated the monthly data for my blog posting. The trend over each year is quite clear to me that most of my blogging is done between March and September, which is the 'meat' of the year. I don't do much blogging over the summer period and not while I am on annual leave. This is quite reasonable because I only use this as a professional blog, however, I will aim to try and complete a couple of posts over the 2019-2020 summer period to see whether I get views of these posts.

DFI te rā tuarima
Today we had our second day on Google sites. We had a very quick look at each other's sites and gave feedback on them using a Google form. It was great to hear people talking about their sites as they reveal what they think are the most important features of their sites. However, there wasn't enough time to look carefully through each site and to give robust, quality feedback. Maybe we could have separated into groups of four so that we could have worked in a small group - sharing, asking questions, in discussion and giving feedback. These groups would contain people at different stages of site competence so that there would be opportunity for ako among the members. Anyway, the gold nugget today was quiet time to get some of the Trust website pages up-to-date.
