For our last state project the students will create an infographic. These are graphic (picture) repersentations that turn data into information. From: San Fran Beat, "With today’s flood of information, infographics allow readers to quickly digest and understand complex data. A good infographic will not only inform readers, but will also create interest and convince people to read your article similar to how good headlines and photos attract readers. In contrast, both boring and overly complex graphics will quickly convince readers to ignore your article."
Below is an example. These projects will be worked on in class. [Infographic] The Earthquake & Tsunami disaster in Japan - DigitalSurgeons.com
