To Learn Twice

Here is another great way of visualizing information differently. Google has in it's labs area a product called NewsTimeline http://newstimeline.googlelabs.com/ IT allows you to take anything in the news and look at all of the stories that apply to it chronologically. As the site says: Google News Timeline is a web application that organizes search results chronologically. It allows users to view news and other data sources on a browsable, graphical timeline. Available data sources include recent and historical news, scanned newspapers and magazines, blog posts, sports scores, and information about various types of media, like music albums and movies. Check out the details of how to work it effectively here .

I just finished up preparing for a presentation at Stevenson High School that I will be doing this coming Friday. I posted it to Google Docs and you can see it here: http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=df7x739z_122mwhrkh6t I find it really interested that I am getting a kick out of visual learning, because I have not always been the best at learning visually. I have always had a knack at pulling from text, not images. Yet I am having a blast figuring out ways to go the other way with this. I am interested in any feedback you might have on this slide deck.
