The purpose of this session is to model how teachers can use digital visualization tools such as Google data studio to bring real-world, global and local issues into the classroom. 3 lesson (math, science, and social studies) will be demonstrated linking state standards to such explorations. Participants will be able to call up the sample Google Data Studio visualizations to explore individually.
10 minutes: Brief introduction (purpose, digital tool, and data sets) and quick overview of 3 examples.
5 minutes: Participants choose one of the 3 examples (i.e., Google data studio models built by the presenter for math, science, and social studies) to explore individually. They will share reactions in a word cloud.
15 minutes: Presenter will model the development of a data dashboard in Google Data Studio using a data set from a government site.
5 minutes: Participants share in a community Padlet their ideas for how they might use such models in their own classrooms.
5 minutes: Presenter discusses instructional approaches, sample assignments, and prompts for engaging students in the investigation of these data sets through such visual models.
5 minutes: Q&A
