Overview

The Integrated Science and Technology program at James Madison University, with the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, is holding summer workshops in the techniques and application of data visualization for math and science teachers.  These month-long workshops will help you see the forest (data visualization possibilities in the classroom) as well as the trees (software and curricula).  You’ll learn about

    •  Image processing
    •  Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
    •  Molecular modeling
    •  Simulation (using STELLA)
with instructors who have used these tools in their classrooms, including both K-12 and university faculty.

We'll be collecting and sharing curriculum developed under this project via this website.  We'll also be posting workshops given by VISM participants.

The bottom line for this project is to get more teachers and students interested and enthused about using data visualization to learn more about math and science.
