Teachers & Classroom DataViz Discussions
Classroom discussions about data visualizations can be difficult to orchestrate due to their interdisciplinary and socially complex content. We interviewed six U.S. teachers as they explored DataBytes, a protocol we developed to support classroom dataviz discussions. Though the teachers focused on different aspects of the visualizations, certain prompt types directed their attention toward common instructional goals.

Aligning Ideas and Models in Cognition & Instruction
Computational tools hold promise science education, but each tool has a different way of representing information. This paper describes ontological alignment, ways to connect what students know, and how agent-based models represent scientific systems.

Sci Educ: When Models are “Right but Wrong”
Agent-based modeling can get students thinking about mechanism. But to get students refining their models toward accurate explanations, comparing models with data is just as important.
