Data Collection at its best
I have been using DigiCOACH for my classroom observations and it has been effective in identifying instructional needs of teachers when it it used routinely altogether baseline data. I must say sometimes I am scared of doing an observation because the application might crash and all the work I put into the observation gets lost. Hopefully they update the application soon. Overall, it is a really good application for quality data collection for assessing teacher needs within instruction. Only thing I really wish could happen is that the program be free to use year after year once it is purchased. It is only available for use for the school year and has to be rebought every year. It is pretty pricy for a while school to buy and trot that, it should be paid for once and be used without limit. I guarantee that more schools will use this software more if it is not subscription based.
