An excellent resource for understanding the world of information and data visualization in schools. Many of the strategies and ideas extend beyond the library and work wonderfully in the classroom. Full disclosure: I am quoted in the book so I am biased.

Wonderful resource that explains selected math concepts in a clear, organized, approachable manner. It is geared for 8-11 year-olds, but also great for adults like me who need to give their out-of-shape math muscles a good workout. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the topic, definition of terms, and basic problem-solving techniques, followed by ten problems of increasing complexity. There are solutions included at the end of the book, so if you get stuck you can take a little peek. An excellent guide that makes learning math enjoyable and rewarding!

Although I had read mixed reviews about The Visual Guide series, my daughter and I both enjoyed The Visual Guide to Kindergarten. The 192-page full-color workbook uses bold infographics to present fascinating facts about a variety of topics in language arts, math, social studies, and science. My daughter loved the change in style from conventional workbooks and textbooks. The infographics are easy to read but packed full of information. The questions and other activities for each section help reinforce the information presented.

Update: Huge warning! Infographics, Grade K (Ready to Go) is almost identical to The Visual Guide to Kindergarten. The content is repeated in The Visual Guide to Kindergarten. However, The Visual Guide to Kindergarten has some more information and questions. The only other difference is that Infographics, Grade K (Ready to Go) is laminated and thus reusable with dry erase markers. However, I recommend The Visual Guide to Kindergarten instead.

I recommend this book for any Instructional Designer, Corporate Trainer, or Teacher looking to increase engagement in their eLearning courses by taking advantage of multimedia tools. Not only does it teach you about many great tools freely available on the web but it also teaches you how to configure Moodle so that you can make the most out of those tools. Even a seasoned instructional design veteran can learn about a new multimedia tool or two from this book.

This is a very user friendly text, with relatable scenarios and proper explanations. The online resources make learning a topic that I was only casually familiar with a breeze. The quizzes and homework pieces are closely related to the specifics covered in the chapters.

While books with access codes to online resources are an expensive option, the fact that you are interacting with the content in a far more interactive manner helps with information retention. I highly recommend this title.

As a teacher of young learners, I struggle to find resources that truly meet the needs of my students, most of whom are just beginning to read and write in English. This book, however, has proven to be a goldmine. Kids and parents alike love the make-and-take books, while I love the flexibility of each unit. I've used the simple drawings to make charts, flashcards, games, etc. to accompany thematic units and have even used a few of the worksheets to review basic concepts with older kids. I'm giving the book a four instead of a five because the unit topics are quite basic. Once students know colors, numbers, letters, shapes, body parts, basic food items, and basic school terminology, this book basically goes back on the shelf until you get your next room full of beginners. But if you teach young learners with limited language skills, this book is a must have.

This is an excellent resource for the ED. There are great pictures and minimal text. It is my go to resource for teaching medical students, residents and brushing up on landmarks.

I am a high school graphic arts teacher, and am always looking for resources to help bring the most accurate and up-to-date information to my students. This book was an incredible find!! It contains very basic yet crucial foundational information regarding the creation of digital artwork. It features a chapter on building a studio, which includes everything you need to know about your computer and peripherals. It also includes several chapters of ideas on everything from preparing scanned images to understanding computer color theory to creating interesting effects in your images to explaining all the different file formats available. This book is a gem - I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a user-friendly resource that explains the process of creating digital images in terms that just about anyone can understand.

This is a great book to use in a pre-service teacher education program. However, I am a long-time art educator and I still refer to it because it has a wide range of information on issues we encounter every day. This year  I am teaching the art class for undergraduate elementary teachers and it is  proving a very valuable resource.  It is written in a readable, highly  practical way with lots of examples that make adding art into an elementary  curriculum not seem so foreign or so daunting. I do feel that there is a  need for other supplemental reading and resources to accompany this text,  but it is a great overall art education text, especially for the generalist  teacher.

When I started reading this book my initial thought was this is way too basic.  However, as I read on I saw how the author was building the foundation from the ground up.  This is really a very helpful book that gives simple instructions and guidelines on how to produce useful charts.  In some ways, this book is an antidote to the current infographics movement where it seems that every attempt is made to spice up information and make it grab the reader's eye with colorful and fancy graphics.  More often than not this detracts and distracts from the critical information contained in the graphic.  Sometimes I think it's used to mask the fact that there really isn't much information of import that is being imparted, or what one author referred to as the infogasm, which is the surge of aesthetic satisfaction derived from seeing nice pictures and colors regardless of the information actually being conveyed.  The author goes back to basics and tutors the reader on seemingly simple matters like the appropriate use of shading to differentiate graph bars or the placement of the largest slices in a pie chart at the 12 o'clock position.  These seemingly mundane tips may leave some readers screaming for bells and whistles and special effects; they are not to be found here.  There were some minor but irritating inconsistencies, as when the author advises that rows in large tables be grouped by thin lines in groups of three or five for easier reading; her examples then show the groupings in fours.  Nevertheless, if you want an introduction to the basics of graphing, this is the right book.

This book is a fantastic resource, complete with charts and explanations I had no trouble understanding. I like the author's easy-to-understand style. Everyone should read such a guide.

This is the best book for graphic organizers I have seen, and I have several.  The first chapter provides blackline master graphs with instructions for using each one.  The remaining chapters show the graphic  organizers being utilized in specific lessons for the content areas.  Completed examples are also provided.  This book helped me understand  graphic organizers so well that I now create my own graphic organizers  customized for a particular lesson or reading assignment.

I felt the author did a great job of giving information that a beginner could use and learn from and it was easy to access.

As a practising information designer I found this to be an excellent source of information, especially for students. This book takes people back to basics, something that a lot of modern IT "professionals" overlook.

As a new teacher, this book has been useful for some of the ideas offered.  I can see how it could support a teacher with a whole overview of curriculum throughout the year.  It is nicely laid out by month making it a great, quick resource for ideas. I work in a Waldorf charter school and so some of the activities and blackline masters are too "public school" for my class.  But I appreciate the use of characters and stories throughout the year to teach language arts and math concepts.  I'm glad to own this - I refer to some of the ideas for games and activities over and over.

Excellent book, ready to go graphic organizers.  Helps students learn to think and organize information increasing reading comprehension and overall learning. I love this resource!

After working every question in this book, I found each subtopic to have a variety of questions to allow students to show understanding of statistics and probability.  Questions (word problems) follow a similar format with increasing difficulty of computation, allowing students to experience success in math and reading comprehension.  The back of the workbook is nicely organized with step by step explanations as to the correct answers for each 15 question set.  The verbiage is great for those who aren't math minded, making this an excellent resource for students to check for instant feedback, parents to assist at home, and tutoring or after school homework help.  I was first drawn to this text for supplemental help for my students with learning disabilities.  Additional online resources make this perfect for schools with 1:1 device opportunities.
