| Primary
Tool Sessions |
These sessions
will generally be "yet another" opportunity for guided use of the
primary program tools |
Excel examples: A few more
examples of using Excel to manipulate and visualize data Excel for Math: Specific examples for using Excel to teach math concepts Modeling in Excel: A demonstration of using Excel capabilities to build computational models Gnuplot: A guided walkthrough of an example from the gnuplot case studies book Gnuplot w/PERL: A guided case study including PERL data filtering AVS w/CLYDE: AVS example(s) using the CLYDE tool (a front end 'wizard' that facilitates data entry) AVS example: A guided walkthrough of a 3-D example without CLYDE EasyViz/Databridge: A review/overview of the capabilities of these tools |
| New
Tools |
These sessions
will be used for introductions to other visualization and data
manipulation tools that may be of interest |
Fathom: Fathom is a high quality
tool for the gathering and manipulation of statistical data of the type
and size normally used in classroom applications. TI Interactive: TI InterActive! is a dynamic visualization tool for teachers and students to easily investigate ideas in mathematics and science through multiple representations. It is very similar to graphics calculators so is easy to learn and lets teachers incorporate visualizations easily into tests and worksheets for classroom use. GIS: Digital Video: Geometers Sketchpad: A dynamic construction and visualization tool that enables students to explore and understand mathematics in ways that are simply not possible with traditional tools or with other software programs. Applicable to many areas of mathematics including Algebra and Calculus. |
| Other
People's Visualizations |
Each of these
sessions will focus on a different content area, and explore content
specific tools or visualizations created for general educational use |
Chemistry Environmental Science Physics Biology Mathematics Computational Science Education Reference Desk: CSERD is a repository of materials that is part of the National Science Digital Library and includes a variety of educational materials for computationally-aided science and math education |
| Methods |
These sessions are
focused on classroom methods |
Action Research Web-based Inquiry |
| Open
Polycom |
During these times
the polycom rooms will be free for face-to-face communication between
sites. Meetings can be scheduled in blocks and will be
coordinated in IL. |
