Greeting everyone,
Please share your experience working on this activity.
Specifically, comment on the use of the new tools Gapminder, Wiki, Jing, etc.
Here are a few suggested questions:
1. Gapminder and Activity
- What did you like about this activity? What did you not like?
- What are your suggestions to make it better?
- Do you promote the use of Gapminder as a tool for viewing and exploring data
in a statistic class?
- Comment on different ways and different settings we can use Gapminder
to stimulate and expand learning.
2. Wikispace
- Do you like the idea of an editable public website, to read and share your work?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of a wiki?
- Should it be for everyone or members only?
3. Jing
- How do you like Jing?(Jing can also capture a video via a webcam with a fee.)
- Could you suggest other ways to use Jing?
ex: For me, I could use Jing to capture my piano practice.
If I like the music enough I can save the link and share it with my sister.
Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you
I would like to thank everyone for participating in the Gapminder Extra Credit Activity. I hope we all had a good time creating our stories despite some initial frustration with the technologies, Wiki, Gapminder, Jing, etc. For those who did not join the activity this time, you can still create your stories and share them on the wiki.
It has been a great learning experience for me promoting the use of Gapminder as a tool for visualizing data and managing the wikispace. Your questions and comments have enriched my understanding of these tools. I look forward to reading your stories more in depth starting tomorrow night.
A big thank-you to those who were willing to go the extra mile to create and share your videos. Your stories will resonate with the viewers as they are able to see the motion pictures.
I invite all of you to read these stories, share your comments and suggestions with the authors. Most of all, have an enjoyable time.
