Posting Excel Graphs on the Blog

Hello fabulous MSI Visionaries!

You did a PHENOMENAL job on the ball dropping experiment, so now you are going to post your Excel graphs online for all the world to see. You will be working in your lab groups, and your entire team should only post ONE graph on the blog.

Posting images is very easy on the blog (as many of you have found out by posting photos on our website!). It is important for you, though, to follow the steps below EXACTLY for your image to be clear and understandable.

Steps to Post your Excel Graph on the Blog:

1. Open up the saved Excel document that has your graph, and get the graph on your screen.
2. Left click on the white part of the graph.
3. From the menu above, select "Edit-Copy".
4. Open up a new blank document in Paint.
5. "Paste" your Excel graph into paint.
6. Go into "Save As" in Paint.
7. Go to "Save as Type" and select JPEG (this must be used-if you use something else, the file will be too big and NOT post on the blog).
8. Name your graph, and save it to your folder on the student server (or a friend's folder if you are in 9B).
9. Go to www.blogger.com
10. Log in as yourself with your name and password.
11. Select the green cross "Create New Post".
12. Write a title that include's the names of your lab team members.
13. Click on the picture icon that is next to the ABC check mark.
14. For "Choose a Layout", select "None".
15. For "Image Size", select "Large".
16. Select "Browse" from the menu "Add an image from your computer".
17. Find the Paint document you just saved and select it.
18. Hit the blue button "Upload Image".
19. Underneath the image, copy your one paragraph conclusion from your case journal.
20. Save the Draft if you are not finished, or publish post if you are.
21. Finally, comment on each other's graphs with constructive comments about why the graph is a good model of projectile motion or specifically how the model or graph could be improved.

This blog posting, as well as comments on peers' work, is due by Friday, January 13th.

Good Luck!
