[Informatics] [Yr11 Information Technology] Thoughts on the 2020 study

Hi Mark and all

Here is one I like to show - it’s only static but it may be good for the suppository.

[Machine generated alternative text: How Well Do You  Know Your Shit?  When you poop, the little brown blob in  your toilet bowl is what's left of the food  after your body has absorbed all the  nutrients it needs from it.  Pooping is vital to your health as it's your body's  natural way of expelling the waste that it doesnt need.  That's why how your poop looks and smells can also  give clues to whats going on inside your body.  Textures of poon  Sausage-shaped, smooth and soft  Optimal poop! You're doing fine!  Soft blobs with clear-cut edges  Not too bad. Pretty normal if you're  pooping multiple times a day.  Fluffy pieces with  ragged edges, a mushy stool  You're On the edge Of normal.  This type of poop is on its  way to becoming diarrhoea.  Shades OF poop  Green: Food may be moving through  your large intestine too quickly. Or you  could have eaten lots of green leafy  veggies, or green food colouring.  Watery, no solid pieces, all liquid  You're having diarrhoea! This is  probably caused by some sort  Of infection and diarrhoea is your  body's way Of cleaning it Out.  Make Sure you drink lots Of liquids  to replace the liquids lost Otherwise  you might find yourself dehydrated!  Soft and sticks to the side  of the toilet bowl  Presence of too much oil, which  could mean that your body isn't  absorbing the fats properly. Diseases  like chronic pancreatitis prevent your  body from properly absorbing fat.  Yellow: Greasy, foul-smelling yellow  poop indicates excess fat, which  could be due to a malabsorption  disorder like celiac disease.  Blood-stained or Red:  Blood in your poop could be  a Symptom Of cancer. Always  See a doc right away if you  find blood in your stool.  Separate hard lumps, like nuts  You're lacking fibre and fluids.  Drink more water and chomp  on some fruits and veggies.  Sausage-shaped but lumpy  Not as serious as separate hard  lumps, but you need to load up  on fluids and fibre.  Sausage-s haped  but with cracks on surface  This is normal, but the cracks  mean you could still up your  intake of water.  Brown: You're fine. Poop is  naturally brown due to the  bile produced in your liver.  Light-coloured, White, or  clay-coloured: If it's not what  you're normally seeing, it could  mean a bile duct Obstruction.  Some meds could cause this  too. See a doc.  Black: It could mean that you're  bleeding internally due to ulcer or  cancer. Some vitamins containing  iron or bismuth subsalicylate  could cause black poop too. Pay  attention if it's sticky, and see a  doc if you're worried.  QuiCK Facts about poop  . The food you eat usually takes 1-3 days  from the time you eat it till it ends up  in your poop.  • Poop is made up of undigested food,  bacteria, mucus, and dead cells, that's  why it smells.  • Healthy poop sinks slowly.  Sources  How often Should you poop?  On average, people go once or twice a day, but some may go  more and some may go less. According to doctors, there's no  normal frequency, so as long as you're comfy, you're fine.  HOW to Keep your poop healthY?  • Eat a diet high in fibre (20 - 25g), bts of water, regular exercise.  • If you're having trouble pooping (constipation), dietary fibre  can help make the passage smoother.  • Proper hydration helps ensure your colon is slippery enough  for the poop to move through.  When to see a doctor?  The first time you see anything out of the ordinary in your poop,  don't panic yet. See if it happens again. If symptoms persist, then  go talk to a doctor. Pay attention to what your body is telling you,  and whenever you feel uneasy, it's time to go to a doctor.

OK, here is a fav infographic .. and some questions.

BY Information is Beautiful 2017-04-25
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/

Explore this visualisation and ask yourself the following questions:
        • what hacks do you recall happening and what surprised you?
        • what is the likely impact of a data breach and who will this hurt the most?
        • what steps could a company or user take to prevent this from happening or minimise the impact?
        • what is the value of visualisations like this?

Thanks for the DDV (dynamic data visualisation), Roland.

The *dynamic* aspect of the DV does raise the question of how such graphics can be archived after the source site dies, or deletes your favourite visualisations (vizs?)

It would be unfeasible (and incredibly boring) to record the DDV as a movie and display the content of each node as it's hovered over...
So, how will we store DDVs for posterity?
And how can they be embedded into slideshows without live links to the internet?
Do any/some/all DDV sites like this offer a downloadable player for their dynamic data downloads?

Infographics currently appear in unit 1. In 2020 they are promoted to unit 3.
Is this dumbing-down unit 3 or smartening-up KK from unit 1?
In 2020, unit 1 and 2 outcomes will be just as meaty as those in units 3 and 4.

Speaking of which, days ago I asked if anyone had a favourite infographic they would care to send me for a slideshow.
It turns out that no-one in Victoria has one.
Not one.
This is remarkable - and discouraging.

As our great ex-leader Tony Abbot said in 2013, "No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom."

I don't know everything, and only our collected contributions will make a really great suppository.

I am willing to contribute to these magnificent lists, but if hundreds of practising teachers don't also contribute why should I?
I will happily stroll back down to the beach and let you use your own suppositories.

Love, as always,
Grumpy Mark
