Thanks for doing this - It will mean a lot more with your endorsement. Of
course, at this point I can't even imagine what my webinar will look like, and
am not ahppy at all with the way the article has developed; too short, too
superficial, and I'm hoping they provide lots of assistance with the graphics.
May is a terrible time to have these deadlines - EEEK.
Hope you are doing well - I won't be at BAISL. Meredith is presenting so I'm
teaching her classes.

Virtual Data Literacy Conference
Join us! July 14 and 15, 2016
We are delighted to announce a new satellite of the 4T Virtual Conference: the
4T Virtual Conference on Data Literacy (4TDL)!
Students encounter data and statistics everywhere - at work, home, online, and
at school. But do they know what those statistics mean, how they were gathered,
and with what criteria?
We propose that data literacy is a new frontier in reading comprehension and
citizenship. This free online conference - including free Michigan continuing
education credits (known as SCECHs in our state) will bring together high
school educators, librarians (who are also educators, of course!), and others
interested in how we can build the data and statistical literacy capacity of
high school students. Participants from around the world are welcome to join us!
Our presenters are members of our project
team<http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/our-team/>.
This year's conference is the first in a two-year project. This year's themes
include:
* Statistical literacy
* Data visualization
* Data in arguments
The virtual conference takes place in Blackboard Collaborate.
