Purple Mash's graph and chart tool 2Graph just got a big update and we're really excited about it. The new version is packed full of new functionality that lets children visualise and present data in a variety of colourful and exciting ways.

Turn any pupil’s work, classroom activity or resource into a whole-class learning moment - in seconds. Purple Mash Visualiser brings examples straight to your interactive whiteboard, ready to explore, discuss and improve together.

Simply use a mobile device or tablet to capture an image, then crop, resize, rotate, annotate or add notes on the board. You can save and share the finished work too - all without separate visualiser hardware, and all included in your Purple Mash subscription.

Visualiser is Mash of the Month for October - share how you have used #MashoftheMonth and you'll be entered into the monthly draw to win a 2Simple Goody bag!

European Day of Languages is celebrated on 26th September each year. Here, we highlight how Purple Mash can be used in a range of ways to promote language teaching and celebrate European Day of Languages in schools.
