Reflection on Data logging

Data logging is one of the task that should be fulfilled and submitted by students of ICT. Students are required to prepare a short lesson daily plan which consist of engaging, empowering and enhancing phases based on an experiment that they performed.

A data logger is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to location either with a built in instrument or via external instruments and sensors. Students are required to perform an experiment.

The advantage of data loggers is that they can operate independently of a computer, unlike many other types of data acquisition devices. Data loggers are available in various shapes and sizes. Data loggers also is better compared to the traditional method of experiment. This is because for a certain experiment which required us to plot graph it is impossible to plot and record the graph at the same time but in data logging the graph is automatically being plotted based on data collected from the experiment. Apart from that experiment using temperature sensor is safer compared by using the laboratory temperature because laboratory temperature is highly toxic due to the mercury content in their bulb That is why most of the lecturers in the university preferred to perform experiment by using data logger rather than the traditional one.
