Charts and Graphs
Create a Graph (http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/)
Easy to use, this program allows students to create Bar, Line, Pie, Area, or XY graphs using their software. Students will be able to manipulate a large number of components on the graph, from aesthetic components such as colors and shapes, to more technical aspects such as determining min and max value. The program also allows for saving and printing once completed, so that students and teachers can have a hard copy of their completed work to evaluate. This program would be practically useful in any subject or project that demands a compilation or visual representation to use. More streamlined and easier to understand than Excel, this program allows kids to work with the fundamentals concepts of data analysis and collection in a user-friendly manner.
Online Chart Tool (http://www.onlinecharttool.com/)
This chart tool is similar to Excel but has more options and is easier to use. There are lots of different chart options, like bar and line graphs. I think this will be useful to help students learn about data and interpreting data, and the app is easy to use.
Visme (http://www.visme.co)
Visme is used for infographics but can also be used to make charts and graphs as separate entities. There are different templates to choose from and they are visually appealing. It is easy for students to navigate and they can fill in the template with their own information to create graphs and charts. I think this is a useful tool in the classroom because it allows students to work with data and numbers and explore their creativity to create graphs and charts with their information.
DIY Chart (https://www.diychart.com/)
DIY Chart Builder is an application where students use the Internet to enter data and create any sort of chart that best represents their data. This application is useful particularly in science classrooms where students collect their own data and need to create a graph or table off of their information. This site allows students to construct a variety of charts including pie charts, bar graphs, and pyramid charts. Students would first need to select a template for the chart they desire, then they would continue by entering in their data and constructing the graph. This can be a great resource when students are writing up lab write-ups or conducting science experiments. Graphs and charts can also be useful when conducting research because students may want to create a chart containing various statistics they may have found on a certain piece of information. This is definitely useful for an elementary school teacher because it can be a great resource for students to learn how to create proper graphs. This website also incorporates fields where students have to label their axis and write a title and by doing so, students are learning about and constructing all the vital components of a graph. Students learn how to create graphs in late elementary school and middle school and this would be a beneficial resource for students to refer to or to create their own graph, digitally. There is a free account option.
Lucidchart (https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/)
Lucidchart.com is an application that allows users to create all types of diagrams. I came across it because it is a wonderful tool for making floor plans. It gives you a template to work with, but completely lets the user adjust any dimension and move add or delete anything they please. Right away I thought this would be useful for teachers to incorporate as a project in the classroom where students can create the setting form books being read by the class. Teachers can also use it to help come up with the design and flow for their own classroom at the beginning of the school year or whenever they want a new formation for the room. After investigating this application further it seem to have options for creating all kids of diagrams including Venn-diagrams, flowcharts, business analysis, etc. All of these could be applicable in many different subjects and facets of the classroom and could really come in hand for teacher.
ChartGo (http://www.chartgo.com/)
Chart Go helps you create bar chars, line t, pie charts, and area charts. After you choose which type of chart you want to make all you have to do is put in the data and it generates the chart.
