BioInteractive Data Explorer: Reducing Barriers to Student Engagement with Data
To accommodate educators' schedules, this workshop will be offered twice. Workshop content will be the same at both sessions.
- Session 1: Tuesday, May 17, 4:00–5:30 PM EASTERN
- Session 2: Wednesday, June 8, 7:00–8:30 PM EASTERN

Students often require scaffolding and support when learning how to summarize, analyze, and visualize data. In this workshop, participants will utilize HHMI BioInteractive’s Data Explorer, a free web tool that allows students to collect, organize, and visualize their own data. Participants will have the opportunity to consider and discuss how to use Data Explorer with their students, including strategies to increase students' confidence and reduce barriers to students accessing data. Participants will also leave the session with a template for designing their own classroom data exploration activity.
