NETA 2026: Full Schedule

10:15am CDT

Looker Studio getting started with Data Visualization

Thursday April 30, 2026 10:15am - 11:00am CDT

Looker Studio is Google's free visualization tool, and it's a game-changer for anyone who leverages spreadsheets. It creates dynamic reports that use live data.
This means no more manually updating charts to get the latest insights! This is useful in all sorts of ways—from visualizing student data to keeping an eye on school improvement indicators or even tracking device checkouts.
This session will cover practical steps to collect and convert that data into a customized dashboard.
