Try These Interactive Graphics on Your SmartBoard

On Sunday The New York Times printed a visual representation of common expenses and their recent price fluctuations called All Inflation’s Little Parts. The online version of this is a really cool interactive graphic that not only indicates amount of change by color, but shows you the amount of change when you hover over the name of the good or service (milk, bicycles, housing, etc.).

On Tuesday, they ran another interactive graphic called Mapping the Human ‘Diseasome.’ It shows diseases linked by the genes they have in common.



These and many of the paper's other interactive graphics and slide shows look like they would lend themselves to SmartBoard activities. For your convenience, we've linked several of these on our del.icio.us account under the heading NYT_Interactive_Graphic.
