Data Collection


 Data Collection


Data collection plays a huge role in education. As stated in Roblyer & Hughes (2019), data collection and analysis tools are heavily relied upon to collect, process, analyze, and visualize various datasets. As teachers, we gather data for assessment and instructional purposes as well as local and state divisions. Districts are implementing various forms of technology that help to collect data so that it is readily available to enhance learning in the classroom. Robyler & Hughes (2019) goes on to mention that with the pandemic, teachers have been exposed to different apps and technology that they can use to implement in collecting data. Moreover, the article explains that when selecting technology, teachers should be aware of how the technology is going to be used and what they expect to get from it (Nieves 2021). In many cases, technology can be tailored to the needs of the organization that will be using it. My district has implemented a system that tracks students’ progress during lessons and takes data that helps to determine what the students have learned and what areas need to be re-taught. I have found this new technology to be beneficial in ensuring all students have fully grasped the material even if I need to teach it in multiple ways. I am sure to include the students in some of the technology and let them know that teachers need an accurate date in order to be able to help them. This includes but is not limited to not guessing on quizzes and assignments and making sure they do their absolute best and being honest when they don’t know or understand something.

What benefits and or challenges are associated with gaming in the classroom? Computer Based learning is how computer programs are used as a toll to deliver learning material (Roblyer & Hughes 2018). Game-based learning is used to accomplish a specific learning outcome. Game-based learning is considered an effective way to bring about behavioral changes since learners learn by doing and up-skilling themselves (Hurix Digital, 2021). Gaming can be constructive in the classroom. Various games have been created with the intention to decrease language barriers and increase learning in second language learners, increase social skills, and intensify problem-solving skills. Gaming can improve productivity and critical thinking, but we should not discount the skill of being able to research a particular subject. Research develops attention to detail, time management, and problem-solving skills.   Do you have any strategies that you use to make gaming productive?   Gaming in my class...

Technology Lesson Demonstration

  Using the Kahoot! game replaces a typical handwritten mini or pre-test to keep students engaged during the first week of classes, while various schedule changes are happening. Also helping them to get to know me as their teacher. This technology helps students to see their results instantly and see where they rank against other students in the class. Kahoot! is a tool that motivates and activates students' learning because it can test their knowledge, reiterate important concepts, and help them retain information. It also provides instructors with the ability to further create class discussion and student-to-student interaction.
