General Data Management Best Practices: New Lesson? and Resources/Objectives

[mjones01]

These resources were listed in the original lessons from the Hack-a-thon. No obvious place for them in the current 00-06 lessons but I didn't want to lose/ overlook them as we build out this lesson series.

Add this into a current lesson or create a new Best Practices lesson?
