Be sure to follow the 3 links in the 4th paragraph. These are interesting displays of information. I haven't looked carefully at all of the graphs or their accuracies/biases, but many of these do draw you in to what they're trying to communicate--the point of data charts after all. What a refreshing break from staid bar charts.

I don't know all the places this could be used, but the graph in this article contains a STUNNING amount of information. I think the math is obvious, but I envision some phenomenal social science lessons, technology insights, the evolution of science, the implied connections to the ability of societies to spread information, the differences in cost of the various innovations and why that matters .... Hope you find something cool.

Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet, not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. But it’s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinking—perhaps even a new sense of the self. “

In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas. Deep reading, as Maryanne Wolf argues, is indistinguishable from deep thinking.

Looks like an interesting game. All the information is there so the students need to use the cards to come up with an "answer" to a problem OR construct their own problems. I like this kind of game for learning. Are you familiar with SET. Not the same, but similar idea. Bob
