Storytelling With Infographics

Let's talk about the power of visual communication and the age of infographics. Here's why infographics are so appealing and popular.
Beth Dichter's insight:

The statistics in this video appear to be accurate to me based on an infographic that was published earlier this year. You can find the infographic with commentary by Mark Gleeson on this Scoop.it (search infographic and look for July 2013) or you can go directly to his post for more information at http://mgleeson.edublogs.org/2013/07/14/2760/.
