Future-Talk 3D Worldview

Добрый день      Bom dia   您好مرحبا   こんにちは Bienvenidos

The Future-Talk 3D blog serves a diverse international audience interested in educational 3D. Our readers might be interested in seeing which countries were our top blog visitors during 2014. Based on web impressions for the 2014 calendar year, here is how the data shape up:

It is worthwhile to note that Russia has really picked up the pace this year; that, over the years, there is a relentless back-and-forth wrestling match between the other countries on this list; and that China moved into the top ten viewing countries for the first time, replacing Australia.

Are there any surprises here? Or are these just “the usual suspects?” What do you think? Please comment.

Of course, this chart only represents the top ten. Many hundreds of other visitors have frequented this blog, coming from countries all over the world. Future-Talk 3D blog has been visited by nearly every country in North, South, and Central America. The same is true for Europe; the entire Middle East is also broadly represented. Most of Asia has visited us, as well as more than 16 countries from Africa.  

I want to thank you for your deep and committed interest in 3D in education. Please write me, let me know what you are doing in your country. I would love to feature some interviews in 2015.

FT3D Word Cloud

Here’s a graphic word cloud of all the key words or themes in our Future-Talk 3D blog during the year 2014.  The more the word is found, the larger it appears in this word cloud. It's good to see what's most important--you can tell from its size! The word cloud is interactive, so explore a bit!

It’s quite interesting to visualize, in this way, the recurring themes and concepts that have emerged as memes from Future-Talk 3D this last year. It’s like putting your fingers on the pulse of what’s happening with educational 3D—and taking a read.

Editor's Choice

At the start of every new year, I thoughtfully highlight a single post or series from the previous year -- a post that didn't quite make it into our 2014 top ten, but offers an important educationally focused 3D message, nevertheless.

It's a post that carries the kind of message that I would hope readers would want to take time to carefully re-read and mull over. The post I recommend for Editor’s Choice this year is the two-part series Nevada State Flies High and Nevada State 2. Enjoy!

Best of Future-Talk 3D 2014

It’s been another thriving year for the Future-Talk 3D blog, so it is fitting to reflect on the most popular topical posts of 2014.  The top eight posts are presented below, in order of most web impressions received last year:

What the 3D Kids Say
Mature Strategies (2)
A zView from zSpace
Crowded in zSpace
Chasing Efficiency: Learning with 3D
ISTE SIG3D Webinar
Beyond the 3D Bubble
When 3D Falls Short

Actually, it’s quite thought provoking to speculate as to why these particular topics were “top of mind” in 2014 for the diverse international audience that regularly follows this blog. Certainly, these topics might be worthy of re-reading. Please let us know your hypothesis or thinking by posting a short comment.
