Engaging Students in the Science and Engineering Practices of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) with Computer Supported Collaborative Science (CSCS)

Computer Supported Collaborative Science (CSCS) is a methodology that uses collaborative cloud-based resources to engage all learners in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of individual data in the context of whole-class data. CSCS turns hands-on classroom activities into more authentic scientific experiences -- shifting the focus from cookbook data collection to thoughtful data analysis required by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
