NEWS: We have been quiet, but not idle! In the last 12 months, we have given our database for critical data literacy tools and our glossary a thorough update.

https://www.bigdataliteracy.net/database/
We have reviewed all resources in the database, added new formats, new ways to filter the database (including thematic tags!) and added over 20 new resources.

https://www.bigdataliteracy.net/glossar/
We've also given our (German-language) glossary an entirely new design, added new categories and new entries.

And we've participated in developing this online module on #criticaldataliteracy for teacher education: https://zfl-lernen.de/online-kurs/big-data-literacy/

Detailed news here: https://www.bigdataliteracy.net/2024/04/22/update-of-our-database-glossary/

Sharing our updated database & glossary is very welcome!
So is any feedback about our resources - are they useful to you? Let us know!

Now that we've had some time to get to know the Mastodon world, it's time for a proper #introduction !

We are the "Critical Big Data and Algorithmic Literacy Network" - an international, interdisciplinary network of researchers & practitioners who are interested in critical #education about #data & #datafication.

Our projects include:
- a database for online educational resources about data
- a (German) glossary on terms around digital sovereignty
- a debate series on #criticaldataliteracy

You can find these resources & more information on our network on our website: https://www.bigdataliteracy.net/

Our next project is a online event series on the practice-side of critical data literacy: different educators and creators of online resources will present & discuss their best practice insights on how to implement critical data literacy.

We look forward to connecting with other scholars & practitioners on here! If you're interested in #criticaldataliteracy , feel free to reach out!
