Hello all,
Prior to the election we exchanged some voter and civic resources and our
thoughts for how to use them with our students.
Regardless of where you and your students stand on the results of the
election it certainly leaves many other issues to explore. One may be the
political/social/cultural divide in our country. Below are a couple of
resources that use graphic representation of the election returns.

http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/

These may be useful for engaging students in conversations about the
results as well as demonstrating the power of using graphic representation
of data.

Please share any post-election resources you have and say a word about how
they may be used.

All the best,
Mariann
