Personalizing Data with Digital Portfolios http://www.ascd.org/publications/class_lead/200303/niguidula_3.html The term "data collection" seems to turn off many good classroom teachers: The term suggests that all of the information about a student, a class, or a school can be reduced to a few key statistics. The process of collecting data doesn't seem to fit with the flow of teaching and learning. And the presentation of data in graphs and charts seems to slight an aspect of schooling that is key to learning: the personal relationships we have with students, parents, and colleagues. -from Classroom Leadership, March 2003 | Volume 6 | Number 6
