06 Feb 2010 ChartGo

Charts are an excellent way to present data, but unfortunately many traditional applications used to produce them in the classroom are difficult to use. My students have used Microsoft Excel or Corel QuattroPro in the past to build charts, but unfortunately, these applications have so many features not related with charts that students get totally lost. ChartGo is a solution on the Web that makes the process really easy. It is a very simple web application and it is totally free. The student has to select from one of the four main types of charts (bar chart, line chart, pie chart or area chart). Then he or she can enter a title, labels for the x-axis and y-axis, the data and a few options and voilà. A nice chart is created for the student all in colours. After the chart is created, the student can even change the type of chart or modify the date. The chart is available as a PNG image file, so it can easily be imported in any other application such as a word processor or a website. It even includes a URL to access this chart again from the website and a URL to share the chart with friends.
