            By Gina Raus Comments (7)
            Hi Everyone! I have been playing around with the eToys demos and software today, and I think I might be having a little trouble understanding the synax!! LOL I would like to make my bee fly around the (my attempt at beautiful) flowers. Any...

                        Gina,

                        I am glad you found the text so valuable. I am working with another one at the moment, which is called Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature. A chunk of my current research (as we discussed last week) is focused on analyzing student journals and so I thought it might be helpful. Then, I would look to create some stunning visualizations, a la Yau.

                        I have also decided to add some work in R to Computer Science for Teachers, based largely on your experiences in this course.

                                Gina,

                                Thanks for this work. I know you were struggling and I am sorry you weren't able to fully do what was asked.

                                    This is great. Thanks for sharing this.
                                    You can now ignore the last comment I made to last week's response.

                                      To create an intriguing visualization, you need to find good data. The question is, where do we find it? It is important to understand that whether you are gathering data yourself, or taking data from another source, you must consider things such as...

                                          It is great to see how engaged you are with all of this.

                                          I loved this:

                                          What is important to understand is that if you are going to collect data, you need to know where to find it and how to manage it afterwards. A data graphic is only going to be as intriguing as the data that the graphic is built upon.

                                          As the kids say, tru dat.

                                              Gina,

                                              I am just revisiting this work. I can't tell from your post. Do you have any examples of having done with this work? I am not saying that you should, I just wanted to see and to ask you to post them (maybe as photos?) if you do.

                                              Thanks.
