A superb site which allows you to make interactive charts to embed on to your site or share. There will also be an interactive infographic function available soon.

Cool survey results gadgets from Lucy Gray -- very very cool for use with children and to demonstrate spreadsheets and charts. I like the little worms she used on her favorite colors chart.
There are many great teachers to follow on pinterest. Here is a board that collects anchor charts. Those of you who teach english or composition will love the ideas here.
This site lives up to its name. Find hundreds of really useful charts and diagrams that illustrate history, science, current events and more.

Covering 6000 years as described from the Bible and other sources.
I designed a graphical chart detailing various historical events as seen from a Biblically conservative viewpoint.
The charts cited in this article point out that college is more important than ever, especially for women- who need a college degree to make as much as a man with just a high school diploma. For everyone, college is essential just to make "a liveable wage." read and share. Ali to your students so they can make an educated decision. And if you say your students aren't "college material" then you are saying they are destined to be poor. That is just not good enough.
From Steve Hargadon:
"I've started a new community at http://www.FutureofEducation.com to providing an opportunity for those who care about education to share their voices and ideas on charting the course of education in a networked world. It's a place for thoughtful discussion on an incredibly important topic. The site will launch officially at the end of the month with the start of a weekly interview series, but I'm inviting some participation now because of an email Carol Broos (http://www.classroom20.com/profile/beatechie) sent out.
Carol is one of twelve teachers who have been invited to participate in a round table discussion concerning the direction of education the new Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on Jan 21. She was sent the following questions, and is asking for feedback and ideas. You can respond either at the new http://www.FutureofEducation.com site or her wiki at http://education20.pbwiki.com/FrontPage. Here are the questions:
1. What is the one most important education issue you wish Secretary Duncan to focus on during his tenure and why?
2. How shall the tenets of the No Child Left Behind act be altered or invigorated? What are its positives? How can its negatives be improved?
3. How should the new administration respond to the nation's need for better prepared and more qualified teachers?
4.What should the new administration do to increase student engagement in mathematics, the sciences and the arts?
5. How should funding equity issues be addressed?
There is also a discussion topic on what questions were not asked that might have been."
This seems to be a great thing!
Lesson Grade Level Chart
Which lessons are appropriate for your students?
All schools are probably teaching many of the information literacy skills found in this body of lessons. Usually, individual teachers will tackle the process of plugging the gaps in their curriculum when an issue or opportunity arises. A sixth grade teacher may see the need to review note taking, while a high school teacher needs to re-introduce Boolean operators and review Citing Sources. Eventually, schools and districts will attempt to make sure the skills covered in these lessons are integrated into the K-12 curriculum.
As a teacher, you can begin by looking at the chart below to see which lessons are appropriate for the age and abilities of the students you teach.
Nice interactive way of displaying data. SpicyNodes is a way to visualize online information that mimics that way that people look for things in the real world. Bits of information - such as text, links, photos, and other media - are placed into "nodes," which are then linked together in an appealing interface that invites exploration. SpicyNodes can be used for everything from mind maps and content portals to organizational charts and lesson plans.
