InfoGraphics - 8/26/12

REFLECTION:  This activity wasn't very useful to me as I teach lower levels of Spanish, which is working on getting the basics of speaking, reading and writing in Spanish understood.  This would be useful for showing culture, which is why I chose the topic above.  I could also see students doing the research, which I have done in lower levels on occasion, and presenting it with these tools.

Infogr.am was fairly easy to use.  Again, I was limited in what I could do, but I guess that was part of the plus side of not creating everything yourself and saving me some time.  I like that when I hover my cursor over the people, it shows the data I entered - because there wasn't much variation on colors between some consecutive countries.  It maybe is more visually stimulating if I had used fewer data points.  Also, I entered the percentages in descending order, so I wonder what would happen if I would have organized the table by alphabet or without any type of rhyme or reason.
