Infographics: Great visuals

Parents, Teens, and Online Privacy

Cortessi, S., Duggan M., Gasser U., Lenhart A., Madden M. (2012). Parents, teens, and online privacy. Pew Internet and American Life Project, etrieved from http://pewinternet.org/~/media//Files/Reports/2012/PIP_ParentsTeensAndPrivacy.pdf


Infographics are great visuals to use to represent data in a colorful, eye-catching way.  The possibilities for the classrooms are endless.  Infographics can be a great tool to incorporate in the collaborative learning environments.  Students will be able to analyze and create data from any subject assigned.  I signed up for several websites that create infographics.  I tried easel.ly, piktochart.com and infogr.am.  All sites are available for a free trial basis.  My favorite was piktochart.  They really have a great support system for learning to create the infographics.  The tools, templates, and features were very user friendly.  I was able to navigate with ease and create my first info graph (see above).  I can't wait to create more and become more efficient and comfortable in utilizing the infographic tools.
