Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help
brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends, I will be
posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to
read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons
next week!

This is a brilliant tool to create your
own visualisations, it has the normal word cloud examples like Wordle and Tagxedo
but it also has so much more, there are lots of different types such as maps
and graphs. You can also use this as a visual way to compare data such as that
collected in surveys or for example in a Science practical. I just wanted to
have a quick go with a new class of mine here in the Seychelles. We were
talking about what they thought about their school, they all chose one word to
add to the visualisation and this is what it looked like.
In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it
only takes a minute…’
Happy Manyeyes-ing
