Lee, Victor R.; DuMont, Maneksha – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
There is a great potential opportunity to use portable physical activity monitoring devices as data collection tools for educational purposes. Using one such device, we designed and implemented a weeklong workshop with high school students to test the utility of such technology. During that intervention, students performed data investigations of…

Albrecht, Bob; Firedrake, George – CSTA Journal, 1998
Running experiments and grabbing experimental data are great ways to learn and teach science and mathematics. Data grabbers are instruments that capture physical data in electronic form for graphing and analysis in graphing calculators and computers. Describes some data grabbers and points to items in their gigantic support system. (PVD)
