Data Collection: Team Paper or Team Digital?

Do you prefer to use paper or digital tools for data collection?

I have asked this question several times on social media and in my Facebook group and the results are always 50/50!

But who says you have to choose?

You can do digital, paper, or a mix of both. Today, we are talking all about digital and paper data collection tools to help you decide which will work best for you!

If you have a tried and true data collection process that works for you, that’s amazing! However, many of us are still trying to figure out if a pencil and paper or something like a Google form will work best for us and our students.

I am here to help you decide what will work best for you! In this episode, I'm sharing examples of digital and paper data collection tools, pros and cons of each, and what I found to work best for me.
