Discussion #1: Informational And Field Collection Dashboards by https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87 The first dashboard highlights different schools and makes use of the actions (pan and zoom) to allow the user to move about the map. The second dashboard is seven different schools collecting temperature data concurrently. The dashboard allows the instructor to see in real time who is entering data and also to show the school participation. The temperature data has been interpolated to show a continuous surface. Comment on the use of these two dashboards and how you could use them in your instruction. en-us 2021-06-26 14:55:57 UTC 2025-11-15 05:15:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1634971048 The dashboards are useful for different reasons. The first dashboard helps you to identify the location of each item with the zoom and flashing of the high school. It is dependent on the user of the application, it helps the user find the location quickly. This type of feature would be useful especially if there are many points and the user is not familiar with the data or area. 
The second is essentially applying a filter, making the data more accessible to the user. It helps the user focus the map making it easier to read, as well as making it easier to potentially track progress or user participants. ]]> 2021-07-02 14:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1634971048 https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1634985709  The first dashboard allows the user to visualize the same data set in two different ways: as a map and as a list. This type of visualization is especially useful for large event data sets. Having the list allows the user to locate a particular event and then also see the events around it.  The second dashboard allows the user to interpret large sets of data with filters. This capability is not usually available in other applications. This one is particularly powerful for large data sets including points that overlap. In order to take advantage of this capability you would need a detailed attribute table.]]> 2021-07-02 14:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1634985709 https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1635178348  
Dashboards are very cool and can be a great teaching tool for our students.  They can be used to discuss the different types of visualization for different datasets.  I could show them both dashboards and ask them the type of data that is being shown, why do they think it is being shown in this format, etc.  In the first Dashboard, you can visualize the data by map or table format.  You can click on a point and find information or click the table and the map flashes and then you can get the information.   Then in the second dashboard, you can visualize the data via map, pie charts and timelines.  This is something I would like to create for West Pike Run Watershed group and their water testing.  - Tom M

I like the addition of the search function on the 'schools' map - this would suit pupils who like to 'explore' and those who may be more methodical in finding out information/might have an idea of schools they want to know more about, thus catering for different learning styles. I think that the ability to see who has added data and when to the second map would really engage pupils as they can see that they are a part of data collection. Being able to create a map so quickly would potentially support pupils in analysing  patterns as it is happening in 'real time' so they can apply their knowledge of the area/weather/climate there and then. As other have said, asking pupils to compare the maps, and the data shown gives them an understanding of the different ways of presenting data, and the pros and cons for this. In terms of the Scottish curriculum this is really helpful in the older years as pupils are required to complete assessed fieldwork/coursework.

Paired with tools like Survey123 I can see countless opportunities for collaboration within class, between classes or across schools depending on the chosen data being collected. After building the practice dashboards I created a simple one for a Survey 123 my students do at the start of grade 9 (14-15 years old) mapping the location of litter around the school. For some reason, certain data is not showing up when sharing this dashboard. Can someone tell me why? Is it a sharing/permissions issue?]]> 2021-07-05 00:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1636452357 kkeranen https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1643288506 Hi Dave, I spend an inordinate amount of time getting things to share properly. While I cannot exactly pinpoint your problem I can tell you from experience to go back and check your feature service, the Survey123 app itself, and then the dashboard. You are not alone with this. I have probably spent as much time being sure all the dashboards you see on the HUB are shared than I have making the dashboards. I absolutely love it when I am working with a group of students and we are all in the same organization.

You can get some data by clicking on a specific region. This could be useful in my classroom when tracking data on the location of certain invasive species in our local region vs statewide. The second dashboard although containing those same features provides more real time data and great visual in other elements of the dashboard such as the pie charts and submission times. We have been working on a local water quality project and I could see this type of dashboard being very helpful in tracking some variables of our water quality testing such as temperature, DO and pH.]]> 2021-07-19 17:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kkeranen/dk4c0p7b3i3x8t87/wish/1654970162
