As children we were naturally good at telling stories about events or topics that mattered and learning from others via their stories, but as we became older we were taught that serious people relied only on presenting information and "the facts." Accurate information, sound logic, and the facts are necessary, of course, but truly effective leaders in any field - including technical ones - know how to tell "the story" of their particular research endeavor, technological quest, or marketing plan, etc.

A good website that provides free photos. The collection contains thousands of images that anyone can use for free in academic or commercial presentations. The image collection can be searched by subject category, image size, color, or rating. Morgue File is more than just a source for free images. It also features a "classroom" where visitors can learn photography techniques and get tips about image editing.

This is a stunning example of what 'good design' can bring to the understanding of statistical information. Good use of colour, layout and typographic information helps create a more engaging (and potentially more easily understood) reality. There are numerous uses for this; not least in playful and enjpyable learning. "A visual real-time simulation that displays the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, birth rates, and death rates of every country in the world."

One teacher's students worked together in small groups to research, edit and improve the quality of "Wikipedia articles that were either overly brief or lacking in credible information, with the aim of increasing the quality of Wikipedia's coverage of East Asian religions." Once the improved articles were completed and graded, Chris added the articles back into Wikipedia
