Nancy B. Songer, songer@umich.edu, (734) 647-7369

Participants will be introduced to new PDA software called CyberTracker for quick and powerful data collection, display and analysis. Sample activities that use these data for sixth and third graders' scientific inquiry will be available to try out as well in order to best illustrate the educational potential of these tools. Target audience is any K-12 science teacher or any researcher interested in students' collection of and use of PDA data. Previous groups have really liked this software and activities. Come participate in this really fun, cool workshop!
