2. WHERE DOES THE INFO COME FROM?
• Data usually comes from two sources:
o Collecting your own original data
• Surveys, questionnaires, interviews, cell phone polls, etc
• Sensor-based data: heart-rate monitors, motion detectors,
temperature sensors.
o Finding existing data
• Existing databases online
• Searching websites for information and compile it
• Existing books, poems, histories, newspapers, articles, etc
EDUC W200 Week 9
3. TYPES OF DATA COLLECTION TASKS?
• Surveying each other about our heights, weights, and
gender, looking for trends (math/statistics)
• Collecting quotes about a subject (language arts)
• Taking measurements of three different plants over
the course of a month (science)
• Looking up the parties of presidential election winners
and recording them for each election year (social
studies)
EDUC W200 Week 9
4. EXAMPLES OF DATA COLLECTION TASKS
o Comparing multiple poems, and
recording their meter/structure
(English)
• Looking for repeated rhythmic patterns
o Data collection during physical
exertion (Health/Physical Education)
• Heart rate monitors or pedometers
o Recording various regular verbs and
their gerund form (Foreign language)
• Looking for patterns in the form change

9. A TOOL FOR COLLECTING DATA : GOOGLE FORM
• ULA demo: how to create a survey by using Google
Form.

10. ULA DEMONSTRATION: GOOGLE FORM
• Our Class Prep forms you fill out every week are Google
Forms
• Let’s create a data collection instrument using Google Forms
• You can view data collected (via Google Spreadsheets)
• There are different functions for data analysis in Google
Spreadsheets

11. This is the format we are going to use today, then we will write about
it and evaluate it, posting it to our teacher website
WHAT IS A “STATION” OR “MODULE?”
EDUC W200 Week 9
12. FIRST, WHAT IS A “MODULE” OR A “STATION?”
• Self-guided learning experience
o The teacher provides you with the activity, tools, etc.
o Think about “stations” you participated in during K-12
• Common in…

Independent studies
Distance education
Special education
Instruction that needs to be differentiated
• Different contents
• Different “levels”
• Different schedules/time
EDUC W200 Week 9
13. WHAT COULD A MODULE (STATION) INCLUDE?
• A station or a module could include:
o Content exploration tools for independent or semiindependent learning (reading, links, webquest, etc)
o Production tools to make an artifact that demonstrates
learning
o Communication tools (sometimes)

Great examples:http://primarytech.global2.vic.edu.au/2011/08/08/using-an-ipod-touch-in-the-primary-classroom/For instance: Students listen to various stories. There are many free story podcasts available from the iTunes store. Some good ones include Storynory and The Story Home. We often have students practice various reading strategies as they are listening such as visualizing, tuning in to interesting words (and listing), coming up with questions etc.English class example that used newspaper. This teacher used their vacation trip to collect examples and recreate several. Teachers can easily transfer this into scans of newspapers, receipts, and digital pictures as a base. I have seen this used with Perzi as students pulled out keywords. Article (with scanned examples): http://homepage.ntlworld.com/vivian.c/Writings/Papers/AuthMat81.htm
Digital microscopes are a great way for students to explore and note patterns. For example, students can count the number of silt bubbles in a rock or measure plant cells across scales.

Examples of data collection tasks:Recording an “arc” of the plot for each of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies (English)Looking for repeated plotlines and patternsRecording your pulse after one minute of various forms of physical exertion (Health/Physical Education)Comparing the effects of each in relation to maximum heart rateRecording various regular verbs and their gerund form (Foreign language)Looking for commonalities in the form change
