There are just so many good infographics and interactives out there that I’ve begun a new semi-regular feature called “Infographics & Interactives Galore.”
You can see others at A Collection Of “The Best…” Lists On Infographics and by searching “infographics” on this blog.
I’ll still be publishing separate posts to individually highlight especially useful infographics and interactives, but you’ll find others in this regular feature.
Here goes:
Big Bang: How the Universe was created is from the BBC and is “a four-minute animated guide to one of the greatest questions we’ve tried to solve.”
TuvaLabs has many datasets and tool for visual exploration of them. It’s designed for teachers and students.
Here is how “A Spacecraft For All” is described:
This Chrome Experiment follows the unlikely odyssey of the ISEE-3, a spacecraft launched in 1978 to study the Sun, but better known for its amazing accomplishments beyond that original mission. “A Spacecraft for All” is an interactive documentary combining film and 3D graphics, allowing you to follow the spacecraft’s story as you trace it along its entire 36 year journey.
How America’s refugee population has changed over time is an infographic from The Washington Post. I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About World Refugee Day.
Telling Stories With Data and From Article to Infographic: Translating Information About ‘Sneakerheads’ are both NY Times Learning Network lessons on using infographics. I’m adding them to The Best Resources For Creating Infographics.
I’m adding this next infographic to The Best Online Resources For Drivers Education & Car Information:
Hi Larry, I’m Alex Odell from the University of South Alabama. I believe that these infographic are a very useful tool for everyone not just students. They are great for summarizing important information like writing papers or tips on driving safely. Teachers should utilize these when able, to keep the kids attention longer. Kids enjoy short cuts, and what better way to do that than with educational pictures and graphs. Do you use these infographics in your classroom? If so, how well do your students respond to them?
