I have been a fan of Visible Thinking Routines which were developed by Project Zero from Havard, for a while now. I have used these routines with students, as blogging routines and in professional development workshops.

A really wonderful representation of what being digital in this era is all about - learning in the digital era, is more of a contribution rather than a passive absorption of online information.

These thinking routines can help teachers move toward teaching processes for learning rather than content alone. In the era of ever increasing knowledge, we need to help students learn how to learn.
That being said, these routines can also be used as a model for teachers by using them as options for professional development,

This interactive infographic provides 18 concepts and lists the "best" tool to use with the iPad or with a Chromebook or Laptop (and includes many web based tools). In the center you have the concept, to the left is the iPad app and to the right is one for the Chromebook/Notebook or a web tools. Below are some of the 18 concepts. * Video Collage * Interactive Posters * Show Me What You Know * Talking Images Each of the icons take you to the app/website. You will also find links at the bottom of the infographic. One provides a Google Document that lists all the resources and provide some additional information on the features. The second provides a Google Presentation of the resources.

A very useful infographic for those teachers wanting to learn more about tools for the classroom. The comparison from Apple to Chrome will allow you to find the tools you need.

Check out the notes from the talk above, consider watching the video embedded within the post and think about new ways to work with your students this year about the concept of failure. If you are an engineer failure you understand that failure is a teaching tool, allowing you to improve the project, but in education most students consider failure just that...they have failed. A couple of quotes found in this visalization are below. What are your thoughts as you read them? * Have courage. It's not easy to do new things! * No failure means no risk which means nothing new.

I turn to this collection routinely for inspiration and to learn what's up and coming in the dataviz world. d3.js was probably my latest find through this site.

Some of the things we think about when designing personalized learning curriculum. What else do you think about? ~Mia Via Beth Dichter, Maria Palaska

This infographic, byt Mia MacMeekin, looks at personalized learning and the three areas below. In each area the question is also "How can curriculum design address personalized learning?" What are the three areas? * What is personalized learning * How to personalize learning * Examples of personalized learning In each of these areas she also looks at the How, What, When, Where, and Why, providing key words or phrases that help you dig a little deeper into the subject. Mia MacMeekin has provided an infographic that you could share with others in your building. Today we are asked to personalize curriculum, but support is not always available. This visual will help you better understand some key concepts, and provide you with ideas on how you might move forward.

A simple Google image search on “big data” reveals numerous instances of three dimensional one’s and zero’s, a few explanatory infographics, and even the interface from The Matrix. So what does “big data” look like, within human comprehension? From the beginning of recorded time until 2003, humans had created 5 exabytes (5 billion gigabytes) of data. In 2011, the same amount was created every two days. It’s true that we’ve made leaps and bounds with showing earlier generations of data. However, when it comes to today’s big data, how it looks can help convey information but it needs to be more than just beautiful and superficial. It has to work, show multiple dimensions, and be useful. New software and technologies have enabled us to gain higher level access to understanding these enormous sets of data. However, the only way we’re going to truly gather and juice all the information big data is worth is to apply a level of relatively unprecedented data visualization. How do we get to actionable analysis, deeper insight, and visually comprehensive representations of the information? The answer: we need to make data more human. Via Lauren Moss, michel verstrepen

Let’s be honest, we don’t like to read big pieces of text. Text-heavy graphs are rather difficult for understanding, especially when dealing with numbers and statistics. That is why illustrations and flowcharts are often used for such kind of information. An infographic, or a visual representation of study or data, like anything else, can be done right or wrong. How to create a successful infographic? A good idea and a good design.

Browse the timeline of war and conflict across the globe.
This database of global wars and conflicts is searchable through space and time. You can drag and click both the map and timeline to locate particular battles and wars, and then read more information about that conflict. This resource would be a great one to show students and let them explore to find what they see as interesting. This site is brimming with potential.

the potential of this site is amazing between the interactive learning system and the correlation between the timeline and location. If the human geography class is anything like this i can't wait for it!
