GROOVA: An Interactive Graphing Tool for Elementary School Students
Computational data literacies have become increasingly important for students of all ages. For elementary school children, these literacies include data storytelling with visualizations. However, a limited number of data visualization tools exist that are developmentally appropriate for children in grades 2 – 5. GROOVA is a data storytelling and visualization tool developed by researchers and co-designed with teachers and children. Our research suggests that GROOVA facilitates children’s evidence-based data storytelling practices, helps children uncover data patterns and improve their efficiency, but is an ongoing development project with and for children to practice and explore their computational data visualization skills.
