Data collages
I had my groups do a data collage on Pages before we went to the website to upload their data. This way they could practice choosing photos, writing the evidence, double-check the GPS readings, and pass them to another group to critique and comment. Here are two samples of student work.

Nice work, everyone!
Hi there,
This seems like a strong approach to preparing students to upload their observations. I found both the observations captured by the Ankle Whippers in the VS database - http://vitalsignsme.org/observation/species-berberis-thunbergii-was-foun... and http://vitalsignsme.org/observation/species-asclepias-syriaca-was-found-...
They're great observations. Nice job getting your students prepared to share their best work with the Vital Signs community!
