| Develop Data Literacy As students organize and analyze data, they ask meaningful questions and dig deeper to solve problems. They move beyond simply memorizing facts and start acquiring the skills of reasoning, inquiry and communication. This process builds data literacy and makes learning a richer, more meaningful experience. Learn more about how InspireData improves data literacy. Collect and organize data Students use InspireData's Table View to enter, import and customize data from experiments or research activities. In Table View, students: Start with any of InspireData's 100+ content-rich databases, or create a new database by easily entering new information or importing data from the Internet or other database sources Collect data anytime, anywhere using the new InspireData e-Survey tool. Create and publish an online survey to gather data, then instantly download results to jumpstart analysis. Enter multiple data types easily, such as numbers, text, lists, series and formulas Select and define field formats and valid list content to ensure consistent data collection Customize table properties or create multiple tables within a database Add notes to reference sources and provide explanations Analyze data with multiple plot types Venn, bar, stack, pie and axis plots offer students multiple ways to visualize and investigate data. In Plot View, students: Change plot variables, setting axis labels to further explore data View data as it changes over time with animated time series Customize plots with labels, colors and unique icons Use the Slide Show feature to capture and present analysis Add notes to document processes and observations Perform calculations and use basic statistical tools, such as mean, media and summary counts, to support conclusions and summarize data Display line of best fit and line graphs in axis plots to connect data points or to clarify data relationships and investigate trends Document and Present Analysis Communicate findings with slide show The slide show feature enables students to capture the sequence of data analysis and present their work. They can continue investigation throughout a project using the live data that resides in each slide. Students also use a slide show to document findings and conclusions to support project completion. Add details with notes Using Notes, students can add explanations or document processes and observations. Teachers can use Notes to give students project instructions or feedback. Explore Data Dynamically Venn, bar, stack, pie and axis plots Students analyze data using integrated plots and determine the most appropriate way to visualize information Customizable icons Easily recognize patterns and bring more visual meaning to plots with customizable icons. Students can create or import icons or choose from more than 100 icons in InspireData's library. Statistical tools and formulas Students use statistical tools and formulas to support conclusions and summarize data. More plot options Display line of best fit and line graphs in axis plots to connect data points or to clarify data relationships and investigate trends.
