The President and Founder of Shodor, Bob Panoff, came to Jordan Hall July 22nd and 23rd to give an Interactivate workshop to area teachers. Shodor is a non-profit organization based out of North Carolina that provides free online science and math tools to teachers. Shodor currently has dozens of high school and college students working to improve their materials. The workshop presented by Bob Panoff aimed to show teachers our area to learn how to use the online tools that Shodor provides and use them in their classrooms.
The tools Shodor provides ranges from learning Algebra to Statistics and over 150 tools are available online. A lesson on how to use each tool is included on the online page, and suggestions on how teachers can utilize each tool as well.

This workshop was made possible by the support of the Notre Dame college of science, which sponsored the workshop. Many QuarkNet summer teachers attended the workshop as part of their summer work.
