 * Taming the Data Beast: Building Information Dashboards for Students and Teachers**
 * Presenter:** Dr. Ruben Puentedura, Hippasus

The Internet has made a wealth of new information resources available for free to everyone. However, many people report feeling overwhelmed by this data flow, and unsure as to how to manage it. In this session we will see how to combine online resources with laptop tools to create information dashboards that will allow us to harness this flow. In the process we will also learn something about the "wisdom of crowds", and how to use it in our benefit.
