The heading image for our new Data Story It’s All in the Wrist (Bones): Archaeological Data as Artistic Inspiration. It includes the title in light blue across the top, the words "A Digital Data Story in White on a dark blue background on the left edge". The center area has five sticky notes with a pushpin in them information about the Data Story. The first light blue outlined sticky note on the upper left reads "How to get started using data creatively", next to a it an indigo oune reads "A 31-Day calendar of writing prompts". The one on the farthest right is also in light blue and reads "searching open context for project data". The bottom line has another indigo outlined one that reads "narrative examples from open data" next to a pink outlined one that reads "how to take part in collaborative creativity projects".These sit on a white background and have the Open Context logo (two rhombii on their sides to form a book with one dark blue side--left--and one light blue side--right) Underneath that reads "The Alexandria Archive Institute". These sit together underneath the Data Story heading to it's lower right.

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).

Tapping away at our Tutorial Series

September 15, 2022 by Paulina Przystupa

For this entry into our Digital Data Stories (DDS) series on series, we’ll explore our Tutorial Series. In many ways, tutorials are what most people think of when they consider improving their data literacy. Due to this, we thought tutorials would be a great place for us to start creating data stories.
