World History
The writers at DailyGenius, an online chronicler of educational technology news, have created a fantastic graphic that summarizes the EdTech products and events that they think are most valuable to teachers.
The graphic is in the form of the periodic table of the elements. Just like the real elements table, this graphic divides the best EdTech into color-coded categories like social networks, online learning, and hardware. They also use abbreviations just like the elements table, so Twitter is coded Tw, Dropbox is Db, and ISTE is Is.
Clicking on the graphic opens it into a pdf format for easy printing.
Kudos on the cleverness of the design. A suggestion for the future would be to make the graphic interactive, so that by hovering over and then clicking on a box would open a new window for that tool.
They say that they'll be updating the graphic several times a year. That's good to hear. You can follow DailyGenius @DailyGenius.
