This document discusses various tools that can be used for data collection tasks, including sensors, probes, and survey tools. It provides examples of specific sensors and probes like motion detectors, temperature sensors, and accelerometers. It also lists some online survey tools like Google Forms, Survey Monkey, and Polleverywhere. The document then demonstrates how to create a data collection instrument using Google Forms. It explains that modules or stations provide self-guided learning experiences with activities, tools, and procedures for completing lessons independently or semi-independently.

3. ULA DEMONSTRATION – GO MOTION SENSOR
EDUC W200 Week 9

4. Another means of collecting data to analyze
ULA DEMONSTRATION: GOOGLE FORM
(The quick version)
EDUC W200 Week 9

5. 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

6. 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
FIRST, WHAT IS A “STATION” OR
“MODULE?”
EDUC W200 Week 9

7. 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…
o Independent studies
o Distance education
o Special education
o Instruction that needs to be differentiated
• Different contents
• Different “levels”
• Different schedules/time
EDUC W200 Week 9

8. WHAT IS A MODULE (STATION)?
• Includes procedure for completing lesson
independently or semi-independently
• A station or a module could include:
o Content exploration tools for independent or semi-
independent learning (reading, links, webquest, etc)
o Production tools to make an artifact that demonstrates
learning
o Communication tools (sometimes)
