  7. Pre-service Teacher Education • Students explore the toolset during methods class • Students integrate the toolset during the student teaching internship semester • Secondary (high school) students engage in: • inquiry-based science activities using authentic data, • application of technology tools (internet), and • knowledge of the local ecosystem

  8. In-service Teacher Education • Data visualization tools are currently used with: • undergraduate science content students • Graduate River Ecology students • Ph.D. Oceanography students • In collaboration - Graduate students in Environmental Studies, middle school teachers and high school teachers train to use the data visualization tools • Public school students (middle and secondary grades
