Forget CNN: Go with the Data when following Fargo Flood Levels
Posted Mar 29 2009 3:40pm
I love that moment to moment data on all aspects of the Red River in North Dakota and Northern Minnesota are readily available online.
Of course I' ve been to Fargo and it' s surrounds a number of times and the "human story" is important, too. But network news rarely provides us with the data...for that we turn to the net.
It may sound strange to relate this to Applied Psychology (and even Autism or Asperger' s) but don' t we need a more public display of the data? With so many parents and professionals looking to do the right thing for affected kids with regards to social skills training and other interventions, we should consider a more "open" approach to outcome data.
