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.
