Inspired by a session at the NSTA 2015 Conference in Chicago, we talk with Plot.ly founder and COO Matt Sundquist. As a relatively young graphing program, Plot.ly makes it easy to collaboratively analyze and visualize data. Matt talks to us about Plot.ly, how it can be used in the science classroom, and how you can even import real data into this powerful online tool.
