Data+collection

We are tracking the amount of time that our class spends watching TV, using electronic games, and using computers recreationally.

We will be tracking this data for a week, in these three categories:

Watching TV
 * Watching TV shows
 * Watching DVDs (this includes watching DVDs on a computer)

Using Electronic Games
 * Playing games that use a TV screen, such as X-Box, Playstation and Wii
 * Playing handheld electronic games, such as Nintendo DS and PSP
 * Playing electronic games on the computer

Using Computers Recreationally (not gaming)
 * Using the Internet for non-homework related activities, such as watching YouTube videos or instant messaging
 * Doing personal writing on the computer
 * Doing art on the computer
 * Playing with Widgets or taking photos
 * Etc.

Remember to actually record the data. Record all data. Be specific. Be clear. Be as exact as possible. Use tools available to you- if you forget to note your start time, is there another way that you can find this information? Some programs keep track of how much time you have spent using or looking at them. Keep your results organized.
