InspireData Webcast!

Engage Students and Promote Project-based Learning Across the Curriculum with InspireData®

Join Education Content Manager for Science Cathy Cuff, for a live interview with Telannia Norfar, a ninth-grade math teacher at Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City. Mrs. Norfar used InspireData by having her math students use it to collect and analyze data for how to improve the quality and selection of food in their school cafeteria.

The cafeteria-food project was a collaborative effort with her colleagues across the curriculum. Mrs. Norfar's focus was on math, as she guided students in analyzing the data they had gathered using InspireData. In English class, the students worked on writing skills, as they wrote business letters to the principal and the cafeteria manager. From their social studies teacher, the students learned about other cultures, including the geography and cuisine of different regions. And they worked with their science teacher to create lab reports about the patterns they saw in their data and to learn about environmental considerations in the cafeteria.

During this complimentary 45 minute webcast, Ms. Norfar will explain three things her students learned from this project:
*How to analyze data that is not pre-formatted
*How to compare and contrast data using venn diagrams to see trends
*How to create appropriate graphs to support a proposal
