Data v. information

As the number of apparently significant digits in the data available to us goes up ... we continually seek causation, even if we're looking in the wrong places. As the amount of data we get continues to increase, we need people who can help us turn that data into information.

...

Proofiness is a tricky thing. Data is not information, and confusing numbers with truth can help you make some bad decisions.

Can we afford NOT to be data-driven?

we need to think a little more carefully about whether we can afford not to have the continuous data available which has allowed schools to really make an observable difference for children and young adults.
