IntroductionThis video scenario demonstrates how students use their mobile devices to both collect data and formulate results whilst in the field. Specifically Google Sheets are used in real time on location.
Although data collection can be seen as a relatively traditional activity during field trips, the use of the mobile device in this instance enables the students to process the data on location to provide results. This enabled a further reflection activity in the field to consolidate the learning on not only the results, but on the process of data capture in the field. Objective of this scenario:

How could this scenario be extended?This scenario could be extended in a number of ways.
Firstly, this could be done as a more collaborative exercise with different students attending different car parks in the same or different towns and filling in the google sheets using different tabs. Secondly, students could record their reflections and guidance for students to use in the following year, based on their experiences. In using the explain everything tool, the teacher could use this in a flipped learning context therefore cutting down on the amount of class preparation time. Created by:
