The idea for Swivel sounds very cool – people upload data sets and allow others to explore. Simple analyses can be valuable learning experiences – plot two variables in order to determine if similar trends are evident, calculate correlations.
The downside – individuals are already contributing data sets that may be inappropriate for younger student use (e.g., beer consumption and hate comments). Too bad. This may end up as another opportunity that will be avoided because it will be possible to find something that will offend someone.
