Infographics: Mining Pew

Infographics are a creative way to organize data. In the library this could be used to make a presentation on book themes or authors. This was a new thing for me this week, but I enjoyed creating the one I will show you below. I found the website www.easel.ly to be the most user friendly.

So, I created the Infographic on the article "10 Things to Know About How Teens Use Technology".

#1

I wasn't really surprised by most of the information provided in the article. We know teens love Facebook and that Twitter is becoming more and more popular. Maybe that is just because I have teens in my household.

#2 but gaining ground

I am glad to hear that more parents are aware of what the teens are doing on the Internet. I am also surprised, and happy, that teens are very aware of their privacy settings. It is so important that they stay safe while using these resources.

I believe we have all changed by the creation of the Internet. Who doesn't "google" the answer to a question? Who doesn't pull out their phone to check a sports score or movie times? It has changed us all.
