Teachers and students can access real time data and use it in problem solving lessons. The idea is not to give students more numbers to memorize but to give them meaningful activities to solve real life problems. For example, give them information about their community and water use or garbage collection amounts and compare them with other areas and get them to determine how they could create a conservation program. There are many sites that provide current and up-to-date information for students to use and there are real time data projects that students can participate on with other students from all over the world. In some projects students work with scientists to solve problems or gather data and publish data. Using real time data with students can make a subject come to life and provide students with the necessary problem solving skills to contribute to society.
