Hello All!
There is a Webinar and Online Discussion in the LINCS Community next week that I wanted to draw your attention to (see below). This webinar will focus on a study that was done by Dr. Steve Reder. Here is a link to the study: http://lincs.ed.gov/publications/pdf/ABS_EconomicOutcomes.pdf. As you look through the study - notice the graphs and charts on pages 2 - 4. Is there a way to use these in your classroom? Would this information be useful with your learners? I know how I would use it but please post how you would approach incorporating these into your next class, then I will share mine. Remember to also, sign up for the upcoming webinar and participate in the online discussion next week.
