What is Your Data Silhouette?
Amelia Acker, Leanne Bowler · 2017
The paper reports on a series of data literacy workshops for young people ages 11 to 17, held in three Pittsburgh-area public libraries during Fall 2016. The workshops, called Data Silhouettes, served two purposes. First, as a mechanism for examining young peoples' understandings of their data worlds and secondly, to pilot test a library-based learning experience designed to reveal the relationship between social media behaviour and the data traces left behind.
