WHAT DO YOU NEED TO LEARN?
To become a data liberator, data wrangler, or data journalist you need certain basic skills. This section is designed to tell us what skills you already have, and where we should focus the training during the bootcamp. The more accurate you are about your skills, the more accurately we'll be able to tailor the course for you.
SPREADSHEETS
*
Structured data, in its most simple form, is organised as tabular information on a spreadsheet. Understanding spreadsheets, such as Excel or Fusion Tables, is therefore an essential skill you will need to be a data wrangler / journalist. Tell us which of the following spreadsheet skills you already have, by ticking the appropriate box.
None. I've never worked on spreadsheets.
I've used spreadsheets to calculate totals
I've used spreadsheets to calculate differences
I've used spreadsheets to calculate percentage changes
I've used spreadsheets to calculate percentage shares
I've used spreadsheets to calculate average / median (and what they are)
I've used spreadsheets to calculate rate / ratio
I've used spreadsheets for sorting & filtering
I've used spreadsheets with pivot tables
I've imported data into a spreadsheet
Other:

WORKING WITH DATA
*
Once you've found a data source, you need to extract the data and then you need to be able to clean it and structure it so that you can find the story "in the haystack". To do this, data journalists use a number of tools. Tell us if you're ever worked with any of the following:
None. I've never worked with any of these tools.
ScraperWiki
Google Refine
Google Fusion Tables
Other:
Required
VISUALIZING DATA
*
Once you've cleaned and structured your data, you need to turn it into something that ordinary citizens can understand. One of the best ways for doing this, is to turn it into an infographic or other data visualization. Tell us if you've worked with any of the following:
None. I've never worked with any of these tools.
Google Chart Tools
Google Public Data Explorer
Google Maps / MapMaker
Any other mapping platform
Any other visualization platform
Other:

USING DATA TO TELL STORIES:

Many of our newsrooms or CSO organisations are already using data to tell stories. Tell us whether you've experimented with data journalism, data visualisation, or infographics. If you have, tell us about your best story (20w max), and give us a link to the online version of the story, if there is one.
