(So, in 2048 what has happened?) * This question was answered during the session * I'm pretty new to this community. I have data fluency but want to ramp up my data dexterity; I am a former teacher. What advice do you have for me? (BTW - I attended ESIP last week and appreciate Kari's participation there.)>>>welcome! So glad you could make it! - Kari :) * Thank you! Tip sheets sound great! * Data Fluency vs Data Dexterity * Ramping up data skills * Self Efficiacy - YOU CAN DO IT!!! * What workshops would be the best to attend for people like me? * Data Dexterity - Ability to use diverse datasets to define and solve complex real-world problems, as well as adapt and adopt existing and emerging technologies. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst, 2022) * Data Fluency - Ability to explore, visualize, find patterns, identify problems, investigate sources, think about ethical uses of data, etc. (Concord Consortium, 2022) * Data Literacy - Ability to collect, organize, visualize, analyze, interpret, and share data for yourself and other people to use and understand. (Dataspire, 2021) * I'll love to hear more about the "change of culture" some of you mentioned at the beginning. I feel it's a key to help Carpentries grow in other parts of the world * For me this is about acknowledging how complex our community has become, and if we truly want to spread data skills to all, we must be creative and meet people where they are. That may mean partnering with organizations that more directly serve our target audience. - Kari * There's always room for improvement, but The Carpentries seems like it's increasingly a more diverse organisation than many/most/all spaces I'm involved with in academia. What's been the key to that so far and how do you see things progressing in future? * The tech industry is continually evolving, with new tools and technologies emerging rapidly. How can The Carpentries ensure that the curriculum and materials remain relevant and up-to-date in the face of this fast-paced change ? * This was answered during the session * Do you have any advice for neurodivergent instructors on how to study and teach the learning material? * This was answered during the session * What's something that can only happen at The Carpentries? I want to hear those stories please :) * Is there anything you would like big tech do to in support of the Carpentries? (even if that's just go away and leave you well enough alone?) * What steps are you taking to add new content to the curriculum of Carpentries so we can have a wider range of offerings? * Greg: We’re creating a place for community members like you to connect with each other and build what your colleagues need most :-) * Zhian: This is part of what we have the carpentries incubator for. https://carpentries-incubator.org It allows community members to propose lessons that can be submitted for peer review -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
