classroom visualization apps, software, websites
DESCRIPTION
This handout was shared with a group of superintendents, principals, and directors of teaching/learning after they visited the University of Texas Visualization Laboratory in the College of Education. We then led them in an introductory visualization activity with Gapminder.com and encouraged them to share these resources with their high school teachers who might want to integrate data analysis and visualization into their content area activities.
