Abstract

Local Ground is an online data collection, mapping and visualization platform that allows youth to learn and use data skills in support of local projects. Local Ground is unique in its ability to display and translate between a variety of representations of spatial phenomena, starting with drawings. In our studies, we have found that students have used Local Ground to combine and translate between different representations for sense-making and communication.
