[Yr11 Information Technology] More visualisation resources

[Calum Munro]

Many Eyes was one of the best tools we used this year for Data

Students also liked  <http://howbigreally.com/> http://howbigreally.com/ - I
see they have added a section called "How Many Really?" which is new in the
last few months.

students.
