Representing Information

How we represent information, what it looks like, and the forms that are possible, shape our thoughts about it. Just as some cultures that live near water have many different words for blue, and Canada's Inuit people have many different words for different types of snow, our language and its representation shapes our thoughts.

Two new representations of data and information:

10 X 10 = an updated hourly news aggregator with no human input.

Wordcount = a timeline of sorts that represents our use of words in language.

These two also bring to mind to other sites that I like to share with kids in my classroom:

Their Circular Life

The Thought Project

New forms of information available only online, opening new forms of expression and new ways of thinking about what is possible.
