Speaker: Kelly Schrank
About the program
An infographic is a great way to cover a topic using both words and visuals, whether online or in printed material. Many people think they don’t have the tools, or the skills to make an infographic, but you might just need a little knowledge to bridge that gap! In this session, we will briefly discuss some of the tools out there, but then we will dive into the one tool that all of you probably already have on your desktop: PowerPoint! We will discuss what makes an infographic an infographic, what types of tools are available, and how we can leverage PowerPoint to showcase information in an infographic.
