Using the Little App “Linear Models”

The webinar will present a Little App called Linear Models, formally Regression and Smoothers. This is the first look at the redesign of the Little Apps. This Little App will allow teachers and students to pick between 4 different datasets and then particular variables to investigate a linear regression model between the variables. The webinar will show how to use the Little App in your courses to introduce and investigate regression.

The webinar will be presented on Wednesday March 27, 2019 at 11:00 am EST, 10 am CDT, 9 am MDT, 8 am PDT and Arizona time. To register for the webinar, please click on the link https://zoom.us/j/208841290.

January 2019 Webinar:

Introducing Your Students to Multivariable Data

This webinar will present a way to introduce students to data. The webinar will present two classroom lessons that can be used to explain multivariable data to your class. The first is called “A Lesson for the First Day,” and is used to show your students how data can be used to answer questions. The second is called “Using Google Spreadsheets,” and has your students collect data in the classroom. Both of these activities can be completed early in the course. The webinar will be on Friday, January 25 at noon EST, 11 am CST, 10 am MST, 9 am PST. Duration: 60 minutes.
