Blog Poll

The blog poll I created asked questions pertaining to current events.
1.) Do you think Casey Anthony receive the death penalty?
2.) Did Anthony Weiner do the right thing by resigning?
3.) Does Sarah Palin have a shot at becoming our next president?

There were a few things I didnt like about the poll gadget I chose. I was very limited in the number of characters I could use and it only shows 1 poll at a time.

My screencast teaches how to average cells in excel and then place the information in a bar embedded bar graph. I thought this was a really neat activity and one I could use with students when teaching a almost any lesson. I think seeing the procedure step by step is easier than reading or only listening to direct instruction.
