	Interface/Tool Resources for Educators Using Data in the Classroom EDC's Oceans of Data Institute (ODI) has compiled a list of data activities, lessons, and resources for the classroom, sorted by grade level:
	White Paper Ocean Tracks – A Journey Through the Ocean: A Modern Approach to Science Education Research in the sciences is currently undergoing a massive transformation, as technological advancements shift big data into the forefront of investigative tools, and early education is looking for solutions to keep up.
	Scientific Publication Identifying Curriculum Design Patterns as a Strategy for Focusing Geoscience Education Research: A Proof of Concept Based on Teaching and Learning With Geoscience Data The geoscience education research (GER) enterprise faces a challenge in moving instructional resources and ideas from the well-populated domain of ‘‘practitioners’ wisdom’’ into the research-tested domains of St. John and McNeal’s pyramid of evidence (this volume).
	Video Exploring Data through Ocean Tracks This video was featured in the 2017 STEM for All Video Showcase, held May 15-22, 2017. View the presentation.
	Curriculum Ocean Tracks: College Edition Modules These modules were developed to engage undergraduate students with authentic scientific data through investigations that mirror those currently being conducted by scientists studying the broad-scale effects of climate and human activities on top predators in ocean ecosystems.
	Presentation What are our motivations for teaching with data? These presentation slides were presented at the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Teaching with Data Workshop on May 20-22, 2016.
	Report Building Global Interest in Data Literacy: A Dialogue-Workshop Report What does it mean to be data literate in the world of “big data”? What should we be teaching students to better prepare them to participate in today’s workforce and society? What steps need to be taken to develop critical data literacy skills in schools?
	Book Visualizing Oceans of Data: Ocean Tracks – A Case Study In 2013, the Oceans of Data Institute (ODI) released
	Video Big Data, Big Promise Ruth Krumhansl, Founder of the Oceans of Data Institute (ODI), describes all the ways big data is changing lives today, the challenges that big data brings, and why ODI is working to transform education to include more data-relevant instruction.
	Scientific Publication Inspiring Future Marine and Data Scientists Through the Lure of Ocean Tracks The Oceans of Data Institute (ODI) at the Education Development Center (EDC), Inc.; Stanford University; and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been collaborating, with the support of three National Science Foundation grants over the past 5 years, to bring large scientific data sets int
	Scientific Publication Thinking Big "Thinking Big," featured in the Summer 2015 issue of NSTA's The Science Teacher, explores curricular strategies for transitioning students to working with large, complex data sets.
	Scientific Publication Harvesting a Sea of Data "Harvesting a Sea of Data", featured in the Summer2015 issue of NSTA's The Science Teacher, addresses the fundamental challenge in getting big data into K-12 education: how to build a good interface. The article discusses the work of Ocean Tracks, an innovative program
	Presentation Big Animals in an Ocean of Data This presentation was given during the Exploratorium's Conversations About Landscape series on "From Data to Decisions: How Visualizations of Our Environment Inform Our Actions", held T
	White Paper Data Use in the Next Generation Science Standards Today’s students will graduate into a world where oceans of data are available to influence and drive decision making.
	Presentation Oceans of Data Institute: Integrating Data Literacy into Science Education This PowerPoint was presented at the Cutting Edge Digital Data Workshop in May 2015, and discusses the Oceans of Data Institute's work to-date.
