Technology and Economics
Data visualization in the study of economics is a valuable skill to understand how shifts in conditions affect the market. In Robert Timm’s Economics class at Foothill High School, students are asked to use spreadsheets and graphs to visualize how those market conditions determine the supply and demand for their make-believe products they are exploring.
Students brainstorm make-believe products that their “business” wants to sell, and use price and quantity data to develop their product curves in Google Sheets. Students are then asked to publish those graphs and data tables into their PowerSchool WikiProjects page for their particular products. Each student is required to give a detailed analysis of how these conditions affect the market for their product, and what they need to do as a company owner to adjust production and price based off those conditions. Students are asked to provide detailed written analyses from their data and graphs as evidence for the changes they need to make for continued success with their model business.
Mr. Timm’s students are able to make data driven decisions for their businesses. They are able to forecast changes in market behavior, and adapt as necessary. This detailed level of analysis and skills they learn in their Economics class will help them in future careers and endeavors related to business and accounting.

Ceramics - Live Audience Feedback for Creative Work
Students are asked to talk about what inspired them to create their projects, details on their design choices, and tell the story of how the artwork came about. Mrs. Abrams believes that this storytelling component of her class gives students the opportunities to self-reflect on their learning, as well as make connections with their audience. One student shared: “I love how everyone gets to showcase their work... It inspires and challenges me to do more.”
