Writing Data Stories
This project integrates computational data analysis into the middle school science curriculum. Students combine personal experience, interviews, and journalistic investigations of scientific phenomena with data investigations to create multimodal “data stories” that both tell stories about data and how it was collected and analyzed, as well as with data about socio-scientific issues. Funded by: National…

Computing as Multiliteracies (ECLES)
The “Computing as Multiliteracies Partnership” (CoMP) explores equity within the context of computing across the K-12 curriculum. Our projects, Writing Data Stories (WDS) and Participating in Literacies and Computer Science (PiLa-CS) come together to examine: What are general approaches to equitable, literacy-based computing education?
