Online Graph 1

This chart was interesting to see the difference between the NAEP scores of fourth grade students and the national average. Even though it is disappointing that WV is still behind the national average I feel that we are consistently close to the average. Our biggest gap was in 2005 with a difference of six. We were closest to the national average in 2000 by a difference of only one point. If we keep building from our scores in 2007, hopefully we can be close to the national average and possibly even tie or exceed the average.
I have never used kids zone before, but this graph was so easy to create! I will definitely use this in the future for making my own graph or even having my students create graphs. Aftering entering all the information to make my graph, I made my graph to a JPEG file and saved it to my image formats folder on my desktop, then embedded it into my blog. Pretty neat, check it out.
