Thought Experiment Of the Day: What are your thoughts of an entire class of students getting A's in Reading on a report card? #Edusky

The database that is most invulnerable to data breaches is an empty data base. Withholding data from users is probably the strongest practice to prevent data misuse. Ridiculous examples, but strong security practices don't have to disempower users. #DataGovernance #OvercomingFUD

The more time students spend on screens - more the decline in their well-being index. Promoting sleep by promoting other guidelines (exercise/screen time) Students who do not get enough sleep are over-represented in the Low Well-Being Index #aeroaoce24

"Research suggests a decline in well-being from middle childhood to adolescence is common. Children are facing new tasks and challenges as they grow older and experience heightened emotionality and rapid psychosocial changes." Dr. Oberle #aeroaoce24

MDI Dimensions include physical health and well-being, connectedness, school experience, out-of school context, social and emotional development #aeroaoce24

MDI - Participating Districts tend to administer this self-report, population based student survey in Grade 5 and then in Grade 8. #aeroaoce24

Guest speaker Dr. Eva Oberle, Associate Professor, MDI Principal Investigator. The Middle Years Development Instrument is a student questionnaire administered to students in Grades 4 to 8. #aeroaoce #aeroaoce24

So great to see everyone at #AERO24 ...appreciating the value of being in the same physical space with others for a conference. As much as remote has been useful and filled a need, physical presence continues to be important

Happy AERO-Conference-Eve !! #AERO24

Public. Data. Repositories. Research data should be uploaded to data repos where researchers can't (understandably) lose it and which don't have an incentive to magically misplace it (like journals, funders, and unis) Zenodo, OSF, & figshare all have private options so embargo isn't a valid excuse

As you review your data, keep track of the questions you are considering and the answers you find that are shaping your understanding. Use those questions to facilitate your team's data review. Don't start with what you found, start with how you found it. #DataLiteracy #Edu

"A risk of 1 in 1,000 deaths has been commonly used as the threshold for voluntary risks and 1 in 1,000,000 deaths has been used for involuntary risks. However, most guidance on alcohol consumption has used an acceptable risk of 1 in 100" CMAJ 2023 September 18; 195:E1232-3. doi.1503/cmaj.231238

@hrbrmstr.dev Looking for a plot you created way back - distribution of line plots with a single line highlighted to show the trend and its relation to the larger distribution. Sound familiar? It might have been around elections but I just can't seem to locate it.

Thinking without data is intuition. Data without thinking is trivia.
