There are a variety of ways that one can create a graph, using a graphing program, Microsoft excel or word, or using an online resource. In this activity we used Kid's Zone - Create a Graph, to create our graph. This is a very simple program to use in which you simply choose the design of your graph and enter the necessary data, the site will produce the graph for you to be saved in a variety of file formats or even e-mailed to you. This is a great tool, that could be used in many classrooms at all levels. It will serve as a great visual aid tool in classrooms, to help the visual learners.

ISTE-NETS-T STANDARDS
2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
This standard is met by the creation of the graph online. This can be used to demonstrate, or produce class results in a visual format. The students could also use this to produce results of an experiment or other work in a digital/visual format.
3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
As mentioned above students can produce a digital/visual representation of data.
