Monitoring Environmental Change

Strategies for Transforming Students into Scientists

Resources and links from my session for Teaching Excellence and Achievement Fellows 2016.

Monitoring Environmental Change with iPads

A Step-by-step guide to help educators empower students to take part in real science. Teachers will learn how to create an effective environmental monitoring program using iPads, and strategies to help students to analyze data they collect in meaningful ways.
