On the right is blue text on a white background listing: The Tutorial Series (which is in a light blue rounded box); The Creative Series; The Dialogues Series; The Aggregative Series; The Solo Series; The Interactive Series; The Publication Series with each series on its own row; to the left is a grey box with text primarily in black. The text reads “Reading data involves understanding what data is, and what aspects of the world it represents. Working with data involves acquiring, cleaning, and managing it. Analyzing data involves filtering, sorting, aggregating, comparing, and performing other such analytic operations on it. Arguing with data involves using data to support a larger narrative intended to communicate a message to a particular audience. Bhargava, Rahul, et al. “Data murals: Using the arts to build data literacy.” The Journal of Community Informatics 12.3 (2016). Throughout this document, data stories are aligned to show how they can be used to reinforce Reading, Working, Analyzing, and Arguing with data.” Reading is in dark blue matching a circular book spine icon to the left of the text that is in white lines on the blue background; Working is in light blue matching a tabbed planner-style circular icon in white lines on the same light blue; Analyzing is in lavender corresponding to a circular computer icon in white lines on the same lavender; and Arguing is in pink corresponding to a circular text books icon in white lines

September 15, 2022 by Paulina Przystupa

For this entry into our Digital Data Stories (DDS) series on series, we’ll explore our Tutorial Series.

Due to this, we thought tutorials would be a great place for us to start creating data stories.

Data in Archaeological Field School Instruction

August 23, 2022 by Eric Kansa

Archaeologists routinely create and use data, but they rarely talk about how they work with data. As a profession, we need to be more open and share our experiences and frustrations in working with data. A field school is an excellent place to start these conversations.
