Abstract of Video
Janice spoke about projects at The Concord Consortium which are addressing current issues under inquiry by the IKIT group. Specifically, she spoke about how we can harness technology in order to leverage from students' intuitive understandings to support further knowledge integration as an important initial step in knowledge building.

Her primary areas of interest are technology-mediated model-based learning and peer collaboration, and students' epistemology of models. She is Research Director and Co-Principal Investigator on the Modeling Across the Curriculum Project (mac.concord.org) and Principal Investigator on the Making Thinking Visible Project (mtv.concord.org).
