Great flowchart/Infographic
Flowchart: Which Books to Read this Summer?
Teaching students at the University of California School of Education developed this great infographic to help younger students pick books to read over the summer, an important time when young people have the freedom to read what they want to read rather than required coursework. This chart appeared on the "Teach: Make a Difference" blog on June 5, 2012. A chart like this would be a fun and challenging project for a team of teams or a book club.
"To help you answer these questions, The Copyright Alliance, as part of its educational mission, has assembled a valuable array of classroom curricula and other teaching resources on its website, www.CopyrightAlliance.org.
"In addition, the Alliance has partnered with the award-winning curriculum experts at Young Minds Inspired (YMI) to develop this comprehensive Educator's Guide to Copyright, which includes:
"* An overview that defines copyright, traces its history, and clarifies the issues of fair use and plagiarism in the classroom (pages 2-3).
"* A FAQ section that will answer some general copyright questions as well as questions that arise in the classroom (pages 4-5).
"* A glossary designed to keep you abreast of the language of copyright and computers (page 6). * Standards charts for all the educational materials available on the Alliance website to
help you integrate these resources into your curriculum (pages 7-13)"
Three charts that show you how women have been regressing in the study of computer science since the mid-1980s. In 2013, only two out of 10 computer science bachelor's degrees were conferred to women.
22.03.13 | Bookseller Staff Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop has been named as the winner of Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year.
Philip Stone, The Bookseller charts editor and Diagram Prize administrator, said: "People might think the Diagram Prize is just a bit of fun, but it spotlights an undervalued art that can make or break a work of literature. Books such as A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time all owe a sizeable part of their huge successes to their odd
monikers."
And then there's my favorite, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and others in Alan Bradley's series.
