Infographics & Data Visualizations - Visual.ly

I am reading a lot about infographics lately. Some of them are really easy to read and understand and some are not but it does seem like a really cool way to not only present info to students and to help them present data. I am still working on the basics of learning to make an infographic, this sort of thing is not my strong suit. This site features lots of infographics already created and allows you to create your own. I found this from Edgalaxy, which is a great blog to follow. If you want to know more about creating one just search Google, you will find a wealth of information to help you. This site is a great place to see what can be done!

BioDigital Human: Explore the Body in 3D!

This is such a cool site! You can look at a 3D image of the human body systems. Turn the systems on and off so you can view them alone or with the other systems. You can click on any part of the system to see more information about it including common conditions that affect that part. Very interactive!

teachers's Channel - YouTube

My teachers want YouTube, they hate that it is blocked and want to be able to access it with their students. We can set them up to bypass our filter on their own laptops but there is no way the district is going to unblock YouTube for students. Evidently YouTube is developing an education section to their site that can be unblocked by schools filters and allow access to some the education videos available. Take a look here as a start (it was blocked by my filter, you will need to make sure that it is listed in your schools filter as a site that is unblocked.) teachers's Channel - YouTube:
