Visualizing Data Trends with Gapminder
Abstract
Gapminder is a dynamic scatter plot that allows teachers and students to identify and investigate important trends in our world. Participants will use Gapminder to explore historical, sociological, educational, environmental, and health trends. We will discuss the many ways that Gapminder may be used for cross–disciplinary study, and examples of student work will be displayed. iPads will be available, or you can bring your own laptop for this hands–on workshop!
