This customer input will inform how ED prioritizes making online systems and data more accessible through web APIs. The purpose of the Data Jam was to prepare for a larger \"Data Palooza\" event which will be held in October 2012 at the White House. Data Palooza will be an opportunity to highlight open educational data sets (education.data.gov), individual electronic student data (MyData), and data about learning content (LearningRegistry) - as well as tools and services that use these data to improve student choices around learning. Data Palooza will be streamed live (and posted online afterwards) for anyone who wants to attend. ED plans to engage with the broader education community and other interested developers and entrepreneurs through social media outlets and the ED official Homeroom Blog. For more than two weeks, blog visitors will have the opportunity to comment on the blog post and provide feedback about services and data to open through web APIs.
