Infographics are a great way to present information in an easy to understand way.  They use facts and numbers and combine them creatively to present something that looks like this:


Or like this:


Your assignment is to use one of the online tools we discussed to create an infographic.  See http://www.entrepreneur.com/blog/225095#  (try using infogr.am, piktochart or easel.ly).  Topics could include school, your family, or anything I approve in class.  You could be serious with factual data, or funny with made up numbers.  Consider what you want to convey to your audience and then start to collect some data.  This assignment should take you one to two hours to complete and is due at the beginning of class next week, March 13, 2013.

Save the infographic on the site that you use to create it and also download it to your local computer.  email it to yourself so that even if your computer is not working you can still access it.

I can’t wait to see how creative you can present some data.
