 * 9:45 Introduction**
 * Myself
 * My Classroom
 * My Philosophy of Technology Usage
 * 9:50ish What this session is all about**
 * Using technology for data collection/manipulation: The interaction of Google Forms, Wikispaces, and Microsoft Excel
 * Context! Instead of giving students the data, they become the source of data..No longer are we calculating probabilities using imaginary marbles in an imaginary bag
 * 10ish Google Forms**
 * How to create...must have [|Google] account
 * Create a form where students enter the country of origin of their current car and how many cars they have had
 * How to manage
 * Put form up and watch the responses roll in
 * How to publish
 * Share the form on this page: [|Country of Origin and # of Cars Data]
 * 10:20ish Using Morning Routine Data to Illustrate the Concept of Variance Adding**
 * Students have been keeping track of how long it takes them to wake up and leave the house, and how long it takes them to ride/drive/walk to school
 * Data is kept here: Mr. C's AP Statistics Wikispace (Group Links)
 * On the day of the lesson, they enter their data on two separate forms (found below)
 * [|Morning Routine]
 * [|Drive to School]
 * Data will be copied and pasted into Excel Spreadsheet (also found below)
 * [|Morning Routine Results]
 * [|Drive to School Results]
 * Students must enter each value and the likelihood of observing that value, the rest is calculated by Microsoft Excel
 * This lesson would take place after students have been introduced to the topic of Expected Value and Variance of a Random Variable
