Why data and data literacy should be put on school curriculums with Tom Vander Ark

In this episode, Data Brilliant explores why teaching data literacy skills from a young age is essential for preparing people for both their personal and work lives with special guest, Tom Vander Ark, CEO of Getting Smart and contributor to Forbes.As learning around the world has moved online over the past few months, has this brought to the fore different and new skillsets needed? Tom and Qlik’s Chief Data Officer, Joe DosSantos will discuss the vital role of technology within the education system today.Whilst many would assume that younger generations are “digital natives” who instinctively understand technology, Tom and Joe argue that being able to understand data and turn it into usable information, requires collaboration, creativity, awareness, and critical thinking – not just an awareness of new technology. And they talk to how younger generations should be picking up and learning in a variety of different environments, not just the school system. Hosted on Acast.
