Dep Sec of Ed McKenzie Snow @ #SXSWEDU on why VA is the first state in the country to create #DataScience HS course standards: ā€œEvery second, we create enough data to fill 50 Libraries of Congress… we need to create course choice and course access to advanced DS opportunitiesā€

A top quote from #SXSWEdu this year: ā€œIf something is Google-able, that’s the wrong question in a high school math classroom. If you are worried about students cheating with Google, that is the wrong question to ask on a test.ā€ - Lindsey Henderson ⁦@flippyfeets⁩

ā€œMany of our math educators are happy to say #DataScience belongs in math, but also say ā€œI’m not a stats person, I’m not a data person… We need to shift mindsets, and the teacher pipeline is in dire need of redefinition and investmentā€ - ⁦@Steph_Does_Math⁩ at #SXSWEdu

Why are we still teaching many of our core school subjects as if our daily lives are unchanged by these tools? hechingerreport.org/opinion-the-wo… via Zarek Drozda

ChatGPT, other AIs, blockchain all run on the same fuel. Data is the new oil, and we have a narrow chance to make it accessible for every high school graduate. I am SO grateful to The Hechinger Report Liz Willen for the opportunity on this opinion piece. hechingerreport.org/opinion-the-wo…

Name a sector without #datascience today, and job—whether it’s the top of the corporate ladder or it’s an entry position—will need to be using data more intensively to make decisions on a daily basis.-Zarek DrozdaāœļøLauraine Langreo #education #kidalytics edweek.org/teaching-learn…

.Steve Levitt in FORTUNE strips away the noise surrounding the current debate over #DataScience education and zeros in on what matters most: "The data revolution is here and our kids are not prepared for it."

If we gave teens access to high-quality data science courses in high school, the connection between mathematics and real life would be obvious, and most of them would still be using those ideas years later.
