[Yr11 Information Technology] U2O1 - Data Visualisation

Fri Jun 17 16:17:06 EST 2011

I would like to do some database stuff, but I am not sure how the visualisation aspect fits in - are we talking about a switchboard that will display something (eg. a report/or maybe a chart made in Excel) when a button is clicked?

It seems to me that some aspect of database should be examined in Year 11, otherwise students could go on to Year 12 ITA with no knowledge at all about databases  (which would be a disadvantage, I think)

I have looked up the study design and it says that databases are permissible, but can someone advise me on how they could be incorporated into the first outcome?

Otherwise, I will just use many eyes:  http://www-958.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/manyeyes/   if you haven't had a look, its well worth it.

regards

Just FYI. Here are some of the things you can do with gadgets and lookups. I saw some of these demonstrated at GTASYD in Sydney last April. Impressive stuff.

That's a good idea. FYI the study design says you can use database
software, so that's why I was thinking it. However, you can definitely
introduce VB.net and use an image browser, even include scaling, zooming
etc for it as an intro to U2O2.

Definitely like the idea of Google docs spreadsheets too after looking
at them! Thanks YouTube!

Cheers

Colleagues,

I'm just running through the software tools options for U2O1 (Yes, I do
have a whole day and a half to get it organised!) and was wondering what
people use for data visualisations? I was looking at using a database,
as it is one of the options. Although seemingly not the best for data
visualisation, databases are a concept that continues throughout IT
Apps, so anything that gives the students an edge would be good. This
could probably be used in conjunction with another tool if necessary.

What are you guys using?

Cheers

Trav
