Graphic Literacy

From the ACT, this is an assessment tool but this page provides a nice list of graphic literacy skills. 

"Workplace graphics come in a variety of formats, but all communicate a level of information. From charts to graphs, diagrams to floor plans, identifying what information is being presented and understanding how to use it are critical to success. The Graphic Literacy assessment measures skills that individuals use when they read and comprehend graphical materials to solve work-related problems."

A fantastic tool to allow students to explore interesting statistical data about the world.  Allows students to ask questions, compare graphs and easily try different graphical representations.

Spurious Correlations

"Spurious Correlations was a project I (Tyler Vigen) put together as a fun way to look at correlations and to think about data. Empirical research is interesting, and I love to wonder about how variables work together. The charts on this site aren't meant to imply causation nor are they meant to create a distrust for research or even correlative data. Rather, I hope this project fosters interest in statistics and numerical research."
