Hi Janet,

Thanks for the great resources and also the great link.

Who would have thought data visualisation could be so much fun.

Hi Mark and fellow IT listers,

This is some stuff on data visualisation that I prepared last year.  I
haven't rechecked the links, but I assume they still work. I did these
in preparation for the SAC.

The theory task is basically a question and answer type activity, using
the standard Potts text book  (Chapter 5).  I set this as a homework
task for my students.

Feel free to use, edit or ignore

Another interesting site to look at is http://www.newsmap.jp to see what
other parts of the world are reading about!

 Kind regards

Janet Bane

Great list, Bob.

Now I just need a spare year or two to follow all of the links  ;-]

Does anyone have some juicy tasks or sample student work from U2O1 last
year as a starting point?  
That would be a big help to many people, such as I.

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice
in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate
multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of
stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate
cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Litsa,

I use Google Docs and add in things like motion charts. "Many eyes" is a
website that allows you to upload data and create different types of
data visualisations. Failing those, you could use wordle!

If I am on the wrong track however, someone please correct me!

Cheers

Trav

Good afternoon,

May I ask please?

For Unit 2 - Outcome 1, what would classify as a "data visualisation
software". I have included the statement from the study design below.

In the textbook there are many charts, but I was trying to avoid using
Spreadsheets.

"Area of Study 1: One or more of the following: A programming language,
database software, spreadsheet software, data visualisation software"

Thank-you for any clarification.

Litsa J
