Knowing how to make charts, maps and visualizations that clearly communicate data is an essential skill these days whether you are a journalist, advocate, policy maker or communications staffer. Lam Thuy Vo and Joanna S. Kao at Al Jazeera America will moderate this hands-on workshop that will introduce you to basic data tools (Google Refine, Excel/Spreadsheets, highcharts.js) by parsing data. We’ll discuss the basics of sorting, cleaning and visualizing data. To follow along, you will need a laptop and have Google Refine, Excel and/or Google Spreadsheets and a text editor prepared.
