Definition of Data Collection/Analysis Tools

Form of learning whereby students use technology to gather information and/or synthesize information

Data Collection/Analysis Task Teacher Examples

Electronic gradebooksStudent management systemsOnline and computer-based testing systemsStudent response systems

Track and Analyze Classroom Data

Collect and Analyze Parent/Student Information

Types of Data Collection/Analysis Tools

Spreadsheet tools organize, input, edit, and chart data, and produce reports

for any task that deals with numbers Examples

formulas and functions what-if analysis charts and graphs templates and macros

Database management tools Create customized records to contain data, retrieve

targeted records, update and edit information, and organize clear and accurate reports.

Examples Sort data or query database Collecting data online (see Canada website) Recording interviews

MEASURING M&MS

GRADE & review

GRADE Case

Mrs. Geiger teaches 4th gradeTypically has students graph Halloween

candyTeaches volume by having them fill up a box

full of cubesThinks she can combine these – integrating

candy into both activities (graph & volume)

M&Ms

Before opening any bag of candy, take a guess about the colors you expect to find. Ask yourself: Do bags of equal weight have an identical number of

candies? Are all colors represented equally, or are some more

popular than others? Does color distribution remain constant, no matter how

small or large the bag? Do different types of candies have different amounts in

the same size bag?

G: Goal

Objective: Given a bag of M&Ms, the students will be able to estimate

the number of candies in the bag and analyze the differences between candies with different volumes. In the analysis, students will present their reasons for these differences by documenting these in an experiment and graphing.

Standard(s): Math 4.5.5 Estimate and calculate the area of rectangular

shapes using appropriate units, such as square centimeter (cm2), square meter (m2), square inch (in2), or square yard (yd2).

Math 4.5.6 Understand that rectangles with the same area can have different perimeters and that rectangles with the same perimeter can have different areas.

Math 4.5.8 Use volume and capacity as different ways of measuring the space inside a shape.

Math 4.6.1 Represent data on a number line and in tables, including frequency tables.

Math 4.6.2 Interpret data graphs to answer questions about a situation.

WHY?

Lecture Worksheet #2Group

Production Ideas

Creating a new packageFiguring out a new M&M (or trying minis or

premium)

Communication Definition

Conveyance of information either one-way or through an exchange with two or more partners Collaboration, social interaction where participants

must plan and accomplish something together Cooperation – students have separate roles in a

structured task and pool their data to a specific end

WHAT COMMUNICATION TOOLS COULD BE USED?

DESCRIBE.

Lecture Worksheet #3

Content Exploration Definition

Allows students to engage in specific content material (to review knowledge, apply knowledge, or explore new knowledge)

Lecture Worksheet #4

WHAT CONTENT EXPLORATION TOOLS

SHOULD YOU USE?

Productivity Definition

Maximize or extend a students’ ability to create products and to solve problems

WHAT ARE SOME PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS THAT

MIGHT BE USEFUL?
