Technology has become an integral part of my teaching practices. Data collection technology is just one part it and students have responded to the Vernier data collection positively. As a group, all the members can be involved with the data collection. Using the sensors and graphed data, I can help explain to students if something has gone wrong and where the problem is located. Students normally get good results and are able to proceed most of the time on their own. I started collecting data with a Texas Instruments 84. The students were able to take the unit outside to collect data and they really enjoyed this freedom. Our main problem with using the TI 84 is the fact that our sensors are too old. The LabPro does not automatically recognize the older sensors. Using the TI 84, there is no way to set the sensor on the LabPro. Currently, we have seven older PCs in the science lab. These were computers that were replaced in a classroom and I was fortunate enough to be able to use them to run our Vernier LabPros. Their only function is to run LoggerPro. My ultimate goal would be to replace our LabPros with Lab Quest 2s and our older sensors with new sensors. District One is a one to one chromebook district. LoggerPro cannot be installed onto a chromebook. However, chromebooks do have a Graphical Analysis app. Students would be able collect data using the Lab Quest. The Lab Quest can send the data directly to the students’ chromebooks. Each student would be able to analyze his or her own data, and this analysis will, hopefully, explain scientific relationships using real world experiments.
