Teaching Data Literacies with Maps
Meg Smith, IRIS
October 11, 2024, 10:00 AM, Peck Hall 2226

This hands-on workshop will explore how digital maps can help to teach key data literacies. We’ll walk through the practical steps of how to create a spatial data set and visualize it on a map. We’ll also talk about how those tasks can prompt students to consider how data sets are constructed and shaped by the choices and priorities of the researcher. If possible, bring a laptop!
