Technology is a tool some teachers fear. The mere sight of a computer in their classroom may be enough to haunt them at night... but why are some teachers adamant about using something that can make our jobs easier?!
With the growing demands on educators (see Common Core, PARCC, teacher evaluation, etc.), we need something in the classroom that can allow us to prepare our students for the 21st century, while still meeting the needs of a changing system that revolves around data collection.
Below, find resources I have compiled about three tools I use regularly in my classroom for data collection, Edmodo, Google Forms, and No Red Ink.
