I've previously shared a map made using a visualisation tool called Kiln which showed the movement of shipping around the globe.
In early February, Kiln released Flourish which is a free (with extra paid options) tool for making visualisations.
It looks to have tremendous potential for making data come to life in an engaging way. There is a wide range of templates that can be used and adapted. It takes a few minutes to get to grips with them, and there are plenty of data sets that can be copied and pasted into Excel and edited to suit your data.
Sign up for a free account (which means anything you make has to be shared publicly in order to be usable) and then choose NEW Visualisations.
This will bring up a whole range of templates.
I used it to produce this visualisation of the countries from which our students come at school.
Thanks to Brendan Conway for the tipoff to this site.
More to come as I get to grips with Flourish.
