3 Views on the Difference Between a Data Visualization and an Infographic - ReadWriteCloud - 0 views

  • Information graphics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge often used to support information, strengthen it and present it within a sensitive context. They are specific, context-sensitive and often times hand-crafted. Data visualizations are visual displays of measured quantities by means of the combined use of a coordination system, points, lines, shapes, digits, letters quantified by visual attributes. They are general, context-free and often times created automatically. Both can be static, animated or interactive. So, I think the difference is more about the objective. Information graphics are used to tell a story or answer a question. Data visualizations are used to let the user find his own story or answer.

    "Data visualizations and infographics can make complex datasets easier to understand and comprehend. By creating a graphical represenatation of data and statistics, complicated concepts and information can make more sense in less time. Many visualizations focus on representing a specific set of data or statistical information. Others focus on less-concrete topics, providing a visual representation of abstract concepts. Generally speaking, the first type appear more like graphs or charts and the latter are often more creative and imaginative."

    On the benefit side, people become more engaged when they can filter information that is presented visually and make discoveries on their own. On the risk side, Professor Shneiderman says, tools as powerful as visualizations have the potential to mislead or confuse consumers.

    We chose to use measurement for our numeracy video. We felt that measurement is an important numeracy skill used in everyday life. We believe we did this well. We met all criteria. For the first time we used the flip cameras, movie-maker and youtube to: create, edit and upload our video. We thoroughly enjoyed this process and felt it was an interesting assignment. :)

iPods and iPads in the Classroom | Startl - 1 views

  • You are here: Home » iPhone App » iPods and iPads in the Classroom iPods and iPads in the Classroom 0 Comments and 0 Reactions January 14, 2011 | The Startl Team The Herald Journal posted an article this week detailing one school’s use of iPods and iPads in the classroom.  Kids and teachers alike find these devices not just entertaining but useful in learning as well.  Something that we at Startl have seen first-hand through our Developer Boost and Accelerator programs. Students are using the popular gadget to practice math skills, learn how to read and improve English fluency. In the last year, iPods and iPads have been introduced into Logan classrooms. According to local educators, kids have excelled because of it. Classrooms have iPods or iPads available for various curriculum throughout the day. In Jen Green’s English as a Second Language class at Adams Elementary, students in kindergarten through fifth grade use iPods. On Tuesday morning, a handful of them spent about 40 minutes working on iPods. To help kids with reading and fluency, Green has students use iPods to record themselves reading. Green and the student then listen to the recording together. They hear any errors, and then the student reads and records again until they have read it correctly in a certain amount of time. Green said student progress has been “unbelievable.” With one student, she saw results in just minutes. Green has kept some of the recordings to measure progress. By listening to the child’s first recorded reading, it was difficult to understand what they were saying. Green played a reading recorded 15 minutes later and the words were clear and understandable. While we see a broader adoption of use of apps and devices in the classroom, the question to ask is how can teachers evaluate what apps suit their needs best and how will they be integrated into the classroom?
