❖ Lesson 3-1: Plan
❖ Lesson 3-2: Collect
- Ease of Data Collection: Demonstrating the simplicity of finding data today, especially with the abundance of information available online. - Utilization of Google Dataset Search Tool: Using tools like Google Dataset Search to locate relevant datasets, such as "tech adoption over time." - Accessing Open Datasets: Finding open datasets related to technology adoption rates in companies worldwide for various years, allowing for easy download and utilization. - Data Handling and Analysis: After downloading the data, it can be compiled and organized into a dataset using applications like Excel or Google Sheets. - Ensuring Data Accuracy: Emphasizing the importance of diligence in handling data to avoid errors during the compilation process. - Potential Tools for Data Analysis: While Excel or Google Sheets suffice for handling the dataset at this stage, more complex datasets might necessitate tools like SQL or R for analysis.
❖ Lesson 3-3: Analyze
-Utilizing line graphs to compare the adoption rates of various technologies over time. -The initial graph may appear messy or unrefined, but its purpose is solely for the analyst to identify trends and insights. -Line graphs enable analysts to quickly identify important data points and discern which trends are significant. -This step involves analyzing the visual representation of the data to determine key insights and trends. -The visualization helps in identifying which data points are essential for storytelling and which can be disregarded. -Iterative analysis allows for refinement of the visualization and selection of relevant data points for storytelling purposes.
