Create-A-Graph: A website that allows individuals to make bar, line, area, pie, and XY graphs. Users can customize their graph and edit it any way they want. This is a great place to get a visual view on a collection of data points. Science and history teachers can also use this to graph information (i.e. science- the different temperatures within a week; history- the total amount of people in different countries throughout time).
