Atlas of Living Australia

I picked this up from a link on Facebook

The Atlas of Living Australia is a wonderful resource that can be used in science, humanities, maths and IT. And if you are not a student you can just have fun clicking through it like I did!


But most of all it allows students to use big sexy datasets in the classroom. Working with real data makes the experience authentic and they can add to what the Atlas has already documented.

An interesting TED presentation on Google Labs 'NGram Viewer.  The tools allows you to search for words and ideas in a google database of 5 million books.
