Your task: pick one of the topics that we’ve been discussing during our technology balance unit, gather some research, and create an infographic to get your point across.<\/p>\n

Here are some possible topics…<\/p>\n

-Digital footprint
\n-Tech balance\/ face-to-face communication
\n-Digital Citizenship
\n-Time management\/tech distractions
\n-The benefits of video games

\n-Mindfulness in a connected world<\/p>\n

Pick a topic that interests you or another one of your choice, do a little research, and find at least four facts or statistics<\/strong> to include in your infographic to back up your topic.<\/p>\n

Then use one of these easy to follow infographic programs and get started\u2026<\/p>\n
