#awesomegraphs7 COVID19 Edition

#Awesomegraphs7

Teaching hybrid during the COVID19 pandemic is intense. In addition to the daily heavy weight of managing multiple tech software and hardware devices to try and offer as equitable and quality lessons as possible, as a math teacher I feel a responsibility to help students understand the how data is impacting our response to the virus.

A go-to source for local COVID19 data is my #awesomegraphs7.

Alison Simmons, MPH is an alum of my school, and currently is a PhD student at the Dalla Lana school of Public Health at the University of Toronto studying infectious disease epidemiology. She's been maintaining an Indiana County public dashboard of COVID related statistics since March.

Last fall, she was a guest speaker for my Integrated III class, where she let my seniors know of some high school math that will help them understand the pandemic. This included exponential growth.

Her most recent update is much cheerier data.
