Pedagogical FoundationsCurriculum must drive the need for technology integration
Technology is the tool used to facilitate student-centered learning
Scaffolding technology skills has to occur prior to the expectation that students can make thoughtful choices about its appropriate useDegree to which students can utilize technology is also dependent upon their level of cognitive ability.

Collecting Data - Video Capture
Use WebCam to take video of the experimental trials. Flip Video
Example Task: Take video of experiment for later analysis.
Teacher Notes
Record video on the fly - no tapes
Have students script their words
Use tripod or steady camera position
Video first, narrate later
Collecting Data - Using Probes
Probes measure more quickly
Digitize the data
Example Task: Measure the acceleration of the filters falling; vary the number of filters
