I've been tasked to create an infographic for one of my grad school classes, so I got to play around with a few infographic editors this week. I chose to make my inforgraphic using www.easel.ly. I used data from a PEW research study conducted on the perceptions of online privacy and security, focusing on the results as they pertained to young adults/teenagers. Here's my first try at this. I really enjoyed working on this project, and hope to make some even cooler/cleaner looking infographics in the future. Easel.ly has some really neat templates.
Summary: When 4 year old Cece gets meningitis, her parents are scared. But she recovers and everything seems like it is going to be just fine, until they discover that Cece has suffered permanent hearing loss.

She copes by creating an alter ego for herself, "El Deafo", the hearing aid wearing superhero. In the end, Cece gains confidence and learns to be more assertive with other people who just don't understand how their interactions with her can have an effect. Strengths: This graphic novel is geared towards a younger set of readers than most of the books I will be reviewing this fall in this blog, but it still has some value and strengths for the young adult reader. The theme of dealing with being different will resonate with young adult readers,
