Furbles

This is a great site. I personally like the older version rather than the demo of the new one, but both are good. They are a great fun way to introduce data. I love the idea of actually visualising the connection between your original data (which is more than just some numbers) and the graph that forms.

It forms a good basis for discussing the pros and cons of different types of graph, and therefore when you might choose each graph to display your information. And as all good students know, the important thing is to get AS MANY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN and make their eyes follow your mouse around.
