Place-Based Learning Data Literacy: Protecting the Platte by Samantha Schall https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56 Our STEM for All video submission and resources page! en-us 2021-04-05 16:01:58 UTC 2025-11-02 21:08:34 UTC hello@padlet.com sschall1607 https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1384016687 While the value of data literacy is widely recognized, many teachers find it challenging to develop curricular activities that are relevant and engaging for their students, a problem amplified during the pandemic. This social media-based avenue for student and teacher learning evolved out of a GLOBE-based professional development program for preservice and inservice K-12 teachers. It supports science-based cross disciplinary learning that engages students in observing and analyzing their local environment.]]> 2021-04-05 17:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1384016687 GLOBE International STEM Network Members (GISN) sschall1607 https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1396380052 The GLOBE International STEM Network (GISN) is an international network of STEM professionals (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) that work with GLOBE students around the world conducting science. STEM professionals mentor students and teachers, present scientific ideas, and/or collaborate on scientific research. Each relationship between a STEM professional and a GLOBE school is unique, and is determined by the STEM professional and the school.

Place-based education centers the educational process in the environment. This form of learning requires that teachers place students in their communities so that they can solve community-based problems.]]> 2021-05-18 14:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1535821106 Researchers, Indigenous Peoples, and Place-Based Learning Communities sschall1607 https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1535827982 Relations between external researchers and indigenous communities have been increasingly strained by differences in understanding and in expectation about the relevance of research. In the field of resource management, the potential for conflict over research is increased by the politics surrounding control over the resource management decision making processes. In this article, we propose the creation of dialogic networks that engage researchers and indigenous people as collaborators in a process of knowledge production. Such an applied research process can produce context-specific knowledge networks that support management and planning decisions by indigenous people; these networks we refer to as place-based learning communities. We present a researcher's perspective on this approach through our experience with the Shoal Lake Resource Institute of Iskatewizaagegan No. 39 Independent First Nation located in northwestern Ontario.]]> 2021-05-18 14:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1535827982 Edutopia sschall1607 https://padlet.com/sschall1607/7jfcumjjdcddnz56/wish/1535837068 Location, location, location!

But do we fully understand this data? Furthermore, do we know how to best use it and share it with others?

Thank goodness for data visualizations. Data visualizations help translate numbers into meaningful insights you can use to make decisions, even if you’re still a tad data-phobic. And if you are, you aren’t alone. Even though having a good grasp of data is a vital skill in the workplace, most organizations are lagging behind, according to Gartner.

To be able to create and sometimes to fully understand data visualizations, we need to overcome any fears we may have and become more data savvy. I am not a statistician by any means, but I’ve found my knowledge and skills related to data to be invaluable as an information designer and writer at Venngage Infographics. I’m excited to share some basics with you so you can help your team increase their data-driven decision-making and thereby their performance.
