As a part of its “Teach Youth Radio” collection, Youth Radio<\/a> recently developed a multimedia lesson introducing the concept of visualizing data in powerful and effective formats. This two-part tutorial on making infographics uses examples from recent stories coupled with video conversations between adult and youth staff. Much of this work supports the Common Core ELA standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.9-10.6: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology’s capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically<\/em>.<\/p>\n
