Making Data Useful to you
School library media coordinators are information experts! How can we make data informative without being intimidated by it? As organizers of information, SLMCs can effectively use data to inform our practice. In this session, we will view data through the lens of our library media programs exploring data sources, determining how we can make meaning of data in our practice, and pondering ways to share data with others. This is an interactive session, so bring a fully charged computing device.
