Resource sharing among educators • 500 content contributors • Paid and free content accessible to educators and caregivers • Potential for greater impact relies on teachers accessing, promoting and expert curation, so best resources rise to top • Long-term viability and sustainability rely on decentralized ownership by states, districts http://learningregistry.org/ Learning Registry
- 8. Data Literacy • Increasing demand for data scientists (across industries) – Burtchworks Study • Projections of US shortage of 140-190K employees w/ deep analytical skills by – McKinsey Global Institute • Enables teachers to bring relevant and engaging topics into their classrooms; critical local and community issues • Used by hundreds of teachers (and their students) across 19 countries https://tuvalabs.com/ TuvaLabs

- 18. Looking ahead • It’s about solving problems; it’s about getting help from the broader community to get to the solutions; it’s about helping ourselves • Citizen engagement means nothing without transparency; need to include ‘open’ components as part of design of government, NGO, community, development, etc. • Help the World Bank articulate how to measure the benefits of open data: o Share your work: http://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/open-data- making-good-promise-turbo-boosted-development o Join the discussion: http://blogs.worldbank.org/ic4d/open-data-goldmine- development?hootPostID=75d7ecf9d964987a0fe181857a318098 It’s not about open data…
