(I know I've only just posted the last thing a minute ago, and it went on forever, but when it comes to the triad of time to write this blog, motivation to write this blog and ideas I want to post here, I've got to strike while the iron is hot)
A different stimulus I've used in the past as a skills / confidence-developing "starter" in the same vein as the map thing is the Billion Pound O Gram from David McCandless's lovely site, Information Is Beautiful:
I've found lots of stuff on or through Information Is Beautiful which have provided different ways of looking at ideas and have been useful for me and for students in a variety of situations.
McCandless's page of Google NGram Experiments has provided food for thought for A2 English Language students looking at diachronic change (or investigating things for their coursework), and it was through Information Is Beautiful that I found a link to this brilliant little investigation on parenting blog, The Achilles Effect, which was a methodology just begging to be adopted / adapted into someone's coursework data investigation.
