Google Fusion Tables - Nice!

Google Fusion Tables - great data analysis, display tool from Google. Implications in helping students organize/display/analyze/evaluate data is incredible. You import a CSV file and you can visualize you data in a: map, intensity map, line, bar, pie, scatter, motion, time line. Imported CSV can be multi-line, multi-row, non-numeric, text, images. Also has nice filtering capabilities.

f(t): Soldiers in the War on Innumeracy (innumeracy and place value)

From The Function of Time blog - f(t) - A Math Teacher's Reflections and Guerrilla Professional Development

The f(t): Soldiers in the War on Innumeracy Tuesday, January 5, 2010, blog entry is great! Soldiers of math onward; especially against those who take pride in "not knowing math" or "not ever being good at math." Wait ... place value is hopefully learned by 3rd grade. The difference between varying units of measure is hopefully acquired around 4th grade. The recorded conversation with Verizon representatives is hilarious or maybe depressing.
