Lesson 2: Build a Poll

-

-

Make a poll of your own! The goal is to build a poll that is interesting to you, and learn to collect votes from people and reach conclusions or make decisions based on your poll.

-

-

Example poll idea: “What is your favorite activity on the XO?”

-

You can use this poll in your classroom or your family, to find out what activity is the most favorite or popular.

-

-

Open the Poll Builder activity and click on the “Build a Poll” button at the bottom of the screen.

-

-

Fill in your poll details on the blank form that appears. Type in your poll title, question and answers, and the number of votes you want to collect.

-

-

Think about your “Poll Title” and “Question.” The title is the name of your poll, and the question is what you want to know. In our example poll, the title is “Favorite Food” and the question is “What is your favorite food?”

-

-

Next type in the number of votes you want to collect in your poll. This number is called a “sample size” by researchers. To do this correctly, think about how many people you want to poll. Is it all of the students in your class? Just the 12-year-olds? All of the people in your family? All of the women in your town?

-

-

Now type in the “Answer choices,” you want people to choose from. You can offer 2, 3, 4 or 5 answer choices in this poll. In our Favorite Food example, the answer choices could be: 1. Bread, 2. Rice, 3. Beans, 4. Candy, 5. Bananas.

-

-

Once you have filled in all of the “Build a Poll” fields, click “Step 1: Preview” to see how your poll will look.

-

-

If you like how it looks, click “Save Poll.”

-

-

If you want to change something, click “Edit Poll.” You can change the information in any field.

-

-

When you are happy, click “Step 2: Save Poll” -- your poll will be built.

Lesson 2: Create a Jokebook with Joke Machine

+

After collecting a set of jokes, and creating images and sounds to go with them, you can create an original jokebook with the Joke Machine.

+

+

From the Home screen of your XO, click on the Joke Machine icon to open the activity. You can also open it from the MaMaMedia Creative Center.

+

+

Click the "Make jokebooks" button at the bottom of the screen to start a new jokebook. You will see three tabs at the top of the Jokebook editing screen:

+

Edit Jokebook Cover

+

Edit My Jokes

+

Review Submitted Jokes

+

+

At first you will be on the "Edit Jokebook Cover" tab:

+

Type in your jokebook title (i.e. "Celia's Favorite Jokes")

+

Click on the camera button to find a picture or photo from your Journal that you wish to use as the cover image.

+

You can also find a sound effect in your journal and add it to the cover.

+

+

When you are happy with the cover, click on "Edit My Jokes" to add your jokes:

+

Type in the Question and Answer for your jokes in the text fields.

+

Click on the camera button to find a picture or photo from your Journal that you wish to use as the image with a joke. (Joke Machine will automatically make your picture the right size to fit in your jokebook.)

+

There is a delete button in case you decide you want to delete the joke later.

+

Click "Add Joke" to start creating another joke for your jokebook.

+

After you add your jokes, click "Preview" to see how your jokebook looks!

+

+

When you are happy with your jokebook, click on the Journal icon (open book at the top of your screen) to keep a copy of it in your Journal.

+

+

Present your jokebook to your class. Select the "Share with: My Neighborhood" option in the top bar of your screen. This will allow other XO users in your 'neighborhood' to see your jokebook and read it through the Mesh network.
