Data can be visual – we watched part of a video about the visuality of data, where pieces of information were linked by a common aspect and coloured, allowing us to easily see a representation of what money is spent on. This could be done with many parts of the curriculum allowing pupils to associate what they are saying to a visual stimulus. Similarly word clouds allow students to see which word they are using most often, from which they could work on expanding their vocabulary.

Through experimentation with Google Forms I can see the benefits and ease at which Google forms could be implemented into the everyday life at school through seeing prior knowledge of a subject (as well as ending knowledge), finding out how they travel to school for the walk to school scheme, getting opinions on what the class want to learn etc. Here I made my own: https://goo.gl/forms/xA0REDJVwbDHStKA3

We also learnt about the legal and ethical issues of data collection and the necessity for anonymity.
