It can be quite inspirational to share highly polished data visualizations with students. A few of our favorite visualizations to bring to the classroom are text analysis of Donald Trump’s tweets by David Robinson (varianceexplained.org/r/trump-tweets), the Dialect Survey by Joshua Katz (joshkatz.co/dialect. html), and a map of America’s weather-related disasters by Tim Meko (washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/ national/mapping-disasters). We also love the New York Times series What’s Going on in This Graph? (nytimes.com/column/whats-going-on-in-this-graph), as well as just about any visualization from the Flowing Data blog by Nathan Yau (flowingdata.com), the Pudding (pudding.cool), the Functional Art blog by Alberto Cairo (thefunctionalart.com), and Chartable (blog.datawrapper.de). For example, the stories about how the American work day changed over 15 years (flowingdata.com/2019/07/16/how-the-americanwork-day-changed-in-15-years) and on gender tropes in film with screen direction (pudding.cool/2017/08/ screen-direction) both feature in-depth and enlightening, but simple, visualizations that tell a meaningful From Drab to Fab: Teaching Visualization via Incremental Improvements","PeriodicalId":512523,"journal":{"name":"CHANCE","volume":"108 43","pages":"31 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141217148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
