How I Collect Data
When asked how I collect data and the purpose
behind it, I realized that I mostly
utilize cloud-based software. Roblyer & Hughes refers to cloud computing as software functions
on the internet web and further explains 3that this function alleviates the chore
of looking for compatible versions of software to store information (Roblyer
& Hughes, 2019). With that said, I prefer
using Google to store my data. Many
schools implore Google Suites [G Suites] apps therefore, as a pre-k teacher, it
has become convenient and beneficial to use Google to house data as well as communicate with my parents and
guardians. For example, I use the Google
Classroom and invite students using their student emails as a means for parents
to have access to the weekly concepts and skills my students are introduced
too. At the same time, access to the digital games and enrichments that I’ve
created and stored for each investigation and or theme study.
In addition to the Google Classroom, I
store progress notes, work samples and photos of student demonstrations in the
Google Drive and use that data to determine the needs, interventions and
services for my students. That said, I utilize Google Forms to collect data for
transportation, at home extension questions, parent teacher conference sign ups
and choice projects that serve as receipts for proof that parents have seen and
read what was shared. Overall, Suites work for me, my students and families.
