Data Literacy Jenga

Listen Later

Data literacy is like a game of Jenga, as each skill is a brick that can topple the tower if it’s pulled. In this episode, we’ll talk through six foundational concepts that support the development of data literacy as defined by the National Forum on Education Statistics:

  • Data Quality

  • Meta-data

  • Data Privacy

  • Data Ethics

  • Data Governance

  • Data Visualization

    • To make the metaphor a bit more literal, we’ll play a game of Jenga as we do so! Tune in to learn about data literacy and find out who wins.
