Our PPSTT framework 👆 focuses on making sense of data visuals. It's like an order of operations (PEMDAS) for reading a graph. There are many other complementary frameworks you should check out: 👉@mikecaulfield.bsky.social's SIFT web #medialiteracy framework clark.libguides.com/evaluating-i... 🧵1/6

Also check out @ncse.bsky.social's dataWISE #dataliteracy framework! This approach focuses especially on the "Trust" step in PPSTT, particularly in the context of a scientific claim. 2/6 ncse.ngo/datawise

Also see @bscs.bsky.social's I^2 (Interpret & Identify) strategy as another complementary approach for growing #dataliteracy. 3/6 media.bscs.org/icans/Icans_...

In Lesson 1 of our DataStreams unit, students practice the PPSTT approach for #dataliteracy as they explore the Google Ngram Viewer. If you've never heard of it–it's an amazingly simple interface for exploring how the frequency of words changes in books over time. books.google.com/ngrams/

How to read graphs like a scientist? 🧪 In Lesson 2, students dive into streamflow data. In this video, Dr. Tom Luhring & his MS students model how to make sense of a graph they've never seen. Awesome cognitive apprenticeship for students! youtu.be/tdNZ_lqLRHs #scicomm #edusky #dataliteracy
