Week Two  January 30, 2012     Mooser ED5254 Blog

1. What I learn this week? 
I think this week I learned again how much people who are the in the database like to interact with the database and see it and push it around.  Whether it was paper graphs in elementary school or interactive data in it's many forms you can see all the way up at any age, people, if they are in the data they want to see the data.  I learned to always be looking for the models which lead to a more interactive offering for a learner.  Data being seen and analyzed is one way out. The flip side is more interaction evolving outward and inward. Eventually to become part of the data again in it's effect on the students.  That they will pore over again and again.

2. How might I use this in the future?
I mentioned in my replies that some of this could be routed through an interactive self driven NOCTI vocabulary database for self testing and evaluation eventually.  I think that would be interesting and a great application of interactive data picking. I think the main thing would be as I was mentioning in the other blogs are to start with some teen service needs of blogging ( Social based database such as what music everyone likes or movies everyone likes) and then open up the aspect to play the vocabulary like a game against each other for who gets the highest score.  Who is the smartest?
