Create Your Own Infographic

Now, you will be creating your own infographic using data you get from a survey.  Follow the steps below:

1)  Decide what you want to get data on.  It should be useful, interesting information, not trivia.  Here are some ideas:

  • School uniforms
  • Homework
  • Trash at school
  • Immigration
  • Drugs
  • Dating
  • Sports
  • Internet Use
  • Facebook Use
  • Bullying
  • Smartphones at School
2)  Open Google Drive, and create a Google Form by pushing the "Create" button and then choosing "Form"

3)  To learn how to use Google Form, look up a video on YouTube by searching "Google Form Tutorial YouTube".

4)  The form should start by asking for the person's first name and then last name.

5)  Now start asking pertinent questions about your topic.  These will most likely be multiple choice.  Many of the questions will be "Rank Order Scaling".  See this website for more information on survey questions:


6)  When you are done with your survey, you need to send the link to me in an email so I can put it on this blog.  OR...  If you have a blog, you can put it on your own blog and send me the blog's name or link.

7)  After everyone has had a chance to respond, Google will put the responses into graphs for you.  You will then take those graphs and put them into a Google Presentation.  If you have the time, I want you to search online for other graph-making apps to use to make beautiful infographics.  See informationisbeautiful.com to see all the beautiful and different ways you can present data.

8)  Again, you will present your Slide Show to a group of five students.
