In the first week and a half, students in Comp Sci have been busy sharing, collecting, and analyzing data that they ultimately used to build our classroom constitution which was voted upon and signed. They shared everything from "What a positive classroom environment looks like" to "How can my parent's or guardian's help support my learning." We looked at and discussed ways data is manipulated to tell someone's version of a story and the importance of knowing the source of the information and understanding how it is being used. We also talked about online tools that may collect user data and to make smart choices about what we share online.
Below are some examples of the word clouds created in class along with their corresponding prompt. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say.
The final word cloud was created using the raw data collected by parents and guardians during open house. They were asked to share 2 words to describe their child. Interested in making one of your own, try it, wordclouds.com.
