To say I freaked out, well that would be an understatement. Part of becoming a librarian is stretching and embracing technology so here I go!

Before I could even look at articles I had to know, what is an infographic and why does spell check not recognize this as a real thing? Well, it is! After direction from Dr. Perry, I was able to find this great site!: 10 Tips For Designing Infographics

The research article I found that really interested me was Where Teens Seek Online Privacy Advice written by Amanda Lenhart, Mary Madden, Sandra Cortesi, Urs Gasser and Aaron Smith. In the article it talks about who teens turn to about privacy in the largest context of social media but online privacy in general. Here is my first infographic to explain the articles findings:

Other sites to check out would be Piktochart and Infogr.am.
