In this final presentation of the CS10K community-wide series on Teaching Data, Katy Börner gives a sense of what's new and exciting in the world of data visualization, providing a conceptual framework for understanding the full range of approaches. She shares her experiences working with high school teachers and students and provides some concrete starting points for getting students powerfully engaged with working with data, suggesting tools and activities you can incorporate into your own classroom.
About the Speaker: Katy Börner is one of the world's leading experts on information visualization and the curator of the international Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit. In conjunction with the exhibit, she has worked with teachers and students of varied grade levels around the world to help them learn about and work with data. She has an amazing ability to make complex topics accessible and inviting, and she's excited about interacting with CS10K teachers and leaders during this session.
About the Series: Data is a key topic in both ECS and CSP. ECS features a whole unit devoted to data and computing, and one of the CSP proposed performance tasks for the AP test is data focused. Teaching data is a challenge many in the community wished to discuss with other teachers and outside experts. On Thursday, December 5th, and Friday, December 6th, a series of panels and a keynote presentation were held to launch this discussion, which will continue on the CS10K Community site. All the sessions are recorded and will be available, along with additional resources, on the CS10K Community site for later viewing and discussion.
