The Third Network Science in Education Satellite Symposium: NetSciEd3

NetSciEd provides an opportunity for the growing community of network scientists interested in education to come together and talk about their projects and programs, new tools, and curriculum models.

The symposium was held on Monday June 2, 2014 from 8:00AM - 1:00PM to discuss the latest developments and future directions for this vital community of NetSci researchers interested in helping grow the next generation.

NetSciEd3 focused on network science teaching and learning at all levels of formal and informal education, as well as how network science helps inform and understand learning processes and organizations. The morning included presentations, posters, and a hands-on working roundtable in which we will collaboratively attempt to map NetSci concepts to formal curriculum frameworks.

Topics discussed include:

Outreach Tools and Materials

Network Literacy

Mapping Network Concepts to Curriculum

Teaching Teachers Network Science Concepts

Network Science in K-16 Practice and Policy

Network Science in Informal Education
