TWIST Conversations: Margie Johnson on Making Data-informed Decisions

Welcome to TWIST Conversations, where we chat with members of the Guild Community exploring current trends in learning, performance, and technology.

CaptureIn this episode of TWIST Conversations I chat with Margie Johnson from Metro Nashville Public Schools. We discuss why Big Data is important to learning and education, explore examples of data-informed decisions, and how someone can get started with data-informed business intelligence. Here are a few highlights from our conversation:
