#1: I really want to become a preschool teacher. Data Collection Tools cannot really be used in that grade level because teachers assess them by observing what they are learning how to do through class time and games, not online work. Since I have observed older grades, that is the grade levels I would use them on. I would use Data Collection Tools to assess how far along my students are with their work and knowledge. Most of the assignments will be turned in through some kind of online software so it will be graded automatically, and alert the teacher aka me if the student is below the average. The subject matter could literally be any subject a teacher wants to assign work too.
#2: From reviewing my classmates' blogs, I realized there are a lot more technology based software out there than I ever thought there could be. From Edmodo to Diigo, technology can help teachers out so much if the teacher uses those kinds of software correctly. I knew all about the Microsoft Office software, but I learned so much more while doing these blogs and practicing them during class.
#3: I would probably really enjoy learning more about the technology in the sports lab that we visited. I really like the whole idea behind the ADD/ADHD learning. The different technologies used within that field would help a lot of different students that need to be active at the same time they are learning. I could take different classes that have things to do with that certain field, and those variety of technologies.
Perhaps you could use data collection for a different purpose than grading. Student observations? I have used Excel to keep track of parent contact information and accommodations for students with disabilities.
