Visualizing the trends really helped to engage the students with the statistics. What an improvement from handing out stats tables and static graphs! I suggested they incorporate the technology into their final project, which requires comparison of development trajectories for specific outcomes. Let's see how they follow up. For someone who still owns no TV, I'm becoming such a technogeek. Hope all is well in Ptown. Let me know when you guys are in the City. Adriana Jim–

Wow! It’s a wonderful visualization tool for data. The focus is on world development statistics from the UN. The tool is incredibly user-friendly and let’s you play around with what variables you want to see, what you want highlighted in color, whether you want to log the data, what year you want to display, and whether you want to animate the time progression (oh, and how quickly).
