Welcome back! Let's kick it off with Daily Infographic.

Hello and welcome back everyone!  The first week of school is just about over!  I won't go on to tell you how many are left....but just know that it's going to be a GREAT year!

I wanted to post about a neat site I found just a few days ago: Daily Infographic.

So, what is an infographic, exactly?  Well, Information Graphics are simply visualizations of some form of data or knowledge.  It can be the results of a survey, a how-to method, or some other set of information.  The graphic part makes the info easily followed and pretty.

Daily Infographic publishes an infographic, found from the web, every weekday.  The topics vary greatly, but they are always jam packed with great information.  If you find one that relates to your lesson (and yes, the collection is searchable and "browse-able" by category!) you could literally take a whole class period to scroll through and discuss what's shown.

Here is an interesting example about jobs for recent grads...something to show seniors, maybe?
