Online Chart Tool--easy graphs

For a science teacher, having students create and interpret graphs is an important skill across all grade levels.  As student and teacher use of Google Docs is becoming more common, creating graphs for digital formats can be difficult.  OnlineChartTool.com gives teachers and students an easy way to create any type of graph or chart without the need to deal with spreadsheet programs like Excel or Google Sheets. 


OnlineChartTool.com simplifies the creation of all types of graphs.  All you need to do is select the type of chart you want, enter your data set, add whatever labels and titles you want, and you are done!  At any stage of the process, you can click the Preview Chart tab and see what your graph looks like.  You can also scroll between the tabs and make any changes you want at any time.  

After the chart is created, there are multiple options for sharing the file.  
You can save the file in several file formats, email the image to anybody, or even save the data on the website so you can edit or add to it later.  All of these options make adding the graph or chart into an electronic document super easy.

As a teacher I have used OnlineChartTool.com to create charts and graphs for test questions.  I have also had students produce graphs which they inserted into Google Doc lab reports.  Examples are below.  If you would like to know more about creating graphs and charts with Online Chart Tool, talk to an ITRT!
