Data... what is data? It's information right? More specifically facts and statistics that we gather to analyze and make decisions. I never thought of what it meant much, but in my tecnology class I have to. There are so mny things that we juzt do daily anddon't even realize it. I have been in school for different things over the years and never once considered the word data. How many times have I researched information to make a graph, concept map, statistics and papers? Actually just last class, History of American Education, I had to create a timeline with 20 different historical events that had an impact on the development of education in America. I went to many websites, reread many moments in history, read newspaper articles, even looked up laws. Then I created a timeline with brief discription of each event and summarized how our education in American has changed, what has been postive, what has been negative and what direction I see the future of education heading.
