Makes me wish I was still a student, AND that I went to school somewhere that had these chairs!

theemspace:

The classroom chair has been redesigned.

Steelcase—with the help of idea giants IDEO—have designed a chair to impact the way students interact in a classroom. The chairs swivel and move, making the transition from lecture to group time easier. They have storage areas underneath the seats to reduce clutter. And bonus feature: although the chairs arrive in three parts, you can assemble it in less than 30 seconds…without tools!

Chartpart.com is an online tool that allows you generate a variety of charts and graphs and gives the code necessary for linking or embedding the image into a website.

I created this chart as a very rough graphical representation of the breakdown of my time as homework increases. It gave me this link to go to my chart and also gave me the html in case I wanted to embed the image somewhere.

This program will probably be useful to create place holder charts and graphs for projects I work on in the future. I probably would design my own info graphic in the end rather than use a generated one, but it’s a nice tool for quickly generating a visual representation of data for short term use.
