Visualization and Modeling Home Page

The physical entities which seem to serve as elements of thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be ‘voluntarily’ reproduced or combined (Einstein, 1945).
From a 19th century scatter plot used to isolate the source of a cholera epidemic to supercomputer-based weather models, visualization tools have revolutionized problem solving, research, and communication in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. The Visualization and Modeling (VisMod) theme team seeks to support the design and use of innovative visualization and modeling tools in K-14 education. The theme team's efforts center on five intellectual focus areas ranging from understanding the cognitive value of different representational forms to refining innovative instructional frameworks that help shape the context in which the tools are used. We encourage you to join our community!
