| Abstract | Infographics have become increasingly popular educational tools for visually conveying ideas and information-in class projects, in daily lessons, and for promoting school and library programs. This book-the only one of its kind-helps you create your own computer-generated visuals for your class and library using common software platforms and free web-based applications. A perfect primer for educators with little or no technological savvy, this resource features charts, tables, screenshots, bars, and graphs for making infographics easy to reproduce and create.
