Greetings! I'm writing to invite you to the *4T Virtual Conference on Data Literacy July 14 & 15*, a free, two-day online conference. This conference is part of a project <http://dataliteracy.si.umich.edu/> to support librarians in adding data literacy to instruction. We hope you can join us for 4TDL! *Who is teaching?* Members of our project team <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/our-team/> will give webinars. *What will 4TDL cover?* We will cover a variety of topics in the sessions, from statistics basics to best practices for data visualizations. Content will be geared toward high school but is also appropriate for instruction to beginning researchers at the college level. *When is it?* Thursday, July 14, and Friday, July 15 *Where do I register?* Here are: information about the online conference <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/>, the schedule <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/schedule/>, registration <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/registration/>, and FAQ's <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/conference/faqs/>. Please feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested! A gif for social media and PDF flyer are attached for sharing. Also, check out our blog <http://datalit.sites.uofmhosting.net/blog-updates/> for weekly posts about data literacy. *Why this conference?* If you are wondering how your students "read" and "write" with quantitative data online, during research, or when reading informational text, this conference is for you. Want to gain skills in data literacy that will help you empower your students' comprehension and creation skills? 4TDL will provide information and resources to support you in teaching in these areas. Also, you can earn State Continuing Education Clock Hours. Thank you! Feel free to email me with any questions.
