<p><strong>Short Session Description (one line):</strong> Apply research to provide data to staff in ways that assist analysis accuracy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</strong> Most educators analyze student data in isolation and make flawed inferences, despite professional development benefits and the support of staff. This presentation provides insight into why this problem is occurring and sheds light on a source of support often overlooked: the data system, which has long been the “elephant in the room” when educators and researchers search for ways to ensure that data-informed decisions are based on <i>accurate</i> interpretation of the data. Educators around the globe use varied data systems to facilitate their analyses of student data, and research from around the world is shedding growing light on analysis supports that different data systems use (and in other cases, <i>could</i> use) to improve educators’ accuracy when analyzing data, regardless of language or country. The presentation summarizes the international movement in data system research that demands more from systems in the form of analysis guidance, and outlines specific steps educator leaders can take to ensure they and their data systems provide data to staff in ways that assist analysis accuracy and thus further other efforts in data-informed decision-making.</p>

Hi, Google offers some great online tools, blogger, Docs, Reader, Picasa, YouTube and more.<br />
They are now introducing an operating system on netbooks in 2010.<br />
I think this is great news for education as I posted in my blog yesterday.<br />

I'm wondering what others think? Student Response Systems - Which one to choose??tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-06-05:649749:Topic:3494922009-06-05T19:39:35.779ZDonna Dickhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Donnataichi
There are many brands of student response systems on the market. In our area, NW Ohio the ones that seem to be used the most are TurningPoint, Senteo and the CPS. Several schools are looking at the Qwizdom SRS. Has anyone had experience with these?

Operating systems: Which OS is best in the classroom?tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-03-26:649749:Topic:3153352009-03-26T14:26:36.360ZJeff Hysonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JeffHyson
With the proliferation of web 2.0 apps, it seems that the operating system is becoming less and less important. Most modern OS's can run most modern software, and most modern browsers can run most web apps. So does the question now shift to which hardware is best? Which "user experience" is best? Does the old "most software won't run on a Mac..." argument still hold water? Should we all switch to Ubuntu?

This year I have been using a student response system (SRS) to give quizzes to my students each Friday. The SRS set that I have is made by einstruction. I have been fairly pleased with the performance of the system. The hardware works great. The software is a bit quirky.<br />
<br />
The initial response of my students to this system was extremely enthusiastic. They loved it! It brought new life to quiz taking. I used the system all during first semester and have continued this semester. The enthusiasm for the clicker quizzes has cooled considerably, however.<br />
<br />
After several students requested to take paper versions of the quiz instead of using the clickers, I began offering this option to all of my students. Those who preferred paper quizzes said that they didn't like the time limit for each question and had trouble focusing in the noise of the classroom. Because of this request, I now begin by asking if anyone would prefer to take a paper version (the questions are all the same) of the quiz instead of using the clickers.<br />
<br />
This week, about half of my students decided to take the paper version of the quiz instead of using the clickers. What shocked me was that approximately 95% of the students that chose the paper version were girls! I was amazed to see that nearly all of the guys in my class wanted to take the clicker quiz and nearly all the girls preferred the paper quiz!<br />
<br />
During my next quiz I will ask all of my students to take both the clicker quiz and the paper quiz (I will disable the option of showing the correct answer at the end of each question when using the clickers). As I analyze the data I will be looking for a relationship between the quiz delivery method and student performance.<br />
<br />
I'm interested in hearing if anyone has made similar observations when using a SRS system or if you have any suggestions on my case study.

Our school is looking into SIS Programs does anyone have any suggestions?tag:www.classroom20.com,2008-11-24:649749:Topic:2217082008-11-24T02:46:24.056ZFrankhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Frank73
Our school currently uses SASIXP for its State reporting system, but since Pearson will no longer be offering support does anyone have any suggestions about student information systems. We are currently looking at PowerSchool, but I would like more information about the different products available.

<br />
Go to <a href="http://www.k12managementsystems.com">http://www.k12managementsystems.com</a> to take the survey.<br />
<br />
It will take approximately 20 minutes and can be done from any computer with web access.<br />
<br />
Ironically, with all the emphasis on data driven-decision-making there is almost no data on the software districts are using. The report from this survey will address this gap.<br />
<br />
Your responses are strictly confidential. The information you provide will only be used to write a general research report. This project is not sponsored by any of the software companies referenced in the survey.<br />
<br />
The Classroom 2.0 community has many members who are involved in all aspects of ed-tech. Feedback from this group will be deeply appreciated and highly valued.<br />
