For the instructional activity component of EDTC 6536 I chose to demonstrate the use of Fathom. Fathom is a software program designed by Key Curriculum Press to help students analyze and explore data. The focus is primarily on mathematics, but also includes Sample documents for science, language arts and social science disciplines. Throughout the course we were shown that there are many different media that have changed the way that we look at teaching and also what students need to learn. Fathom helps to conceptualize the analysis of data in an interactive and engaging way that will help students aged eighth grade through college level.
Here is a link to a screencast addressing Fathom:
