This is Brilliant! Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
One of the toughest parts of playing with new ideas is finding a way to effectively present those ideas to other people. You wrestle with PowerPoint graphs, charts, doodles you make in Photoshop and finally stomp off in a frustrated huff. Well, no more! Ralph Lengler and Dr. Martin J. Eppler from visual-literacy.org have developed a fantastic chart that organizes tons of ways to present information in visual ways.
Not only is it super handy to hover over each of the methods and see examples, but the chart itself helps us to see connections between different approaches. The table itself is a brilliant example of how the right visual can not only present information but actually make knowledge by organizing material.
Go check it out and be inspired!

It’s useful, isn’t it?
I’ve seen it in the past, my main criticisms would be:
a: Some of the diagrams are very tiny & it’s hard to see the detail.
b: Links to software (pref free!) that will let you create that sort of chart would be really useful.
Those niggles aside, it’s a good way of showing the range of diagrams you can have.

I´ve already seen this page before, and found really fantastic. The graphic organizers really give to us good resources to express our thoughts.
I´m studying this too.

Hi There,
I just got the news, that the periodic table will be adopted to second life.
