50 points - information
The info-graphic should answer the basic questions about the Internet:
- Who created the Internet?
- What kind of information/data does the Internet use?
- What are the 3 methods we send bits of information through the Internet?
The info-graphic also must include, at minimum, the following terms/labels. Be sure to underline/bold/highlight the terms in the info-graphic:
10 pts - Development Process
10 pts - Development Process
Write a paragraph describing your development process (not thought process), explicitly identifying the computing tools and techniques you used to create your info-graphic in Canva.
Your description must be detailed enough so that a person unfamiliar with those tools and techniques will be able to understand your process. (MUST NOT EXCEED 100 WORDS - Be concise, but precise).
----EXAMPLE: I used arrow graphics and text boxes to show the hierarchy of the Internet. I used the transparency tool so the reader would be able to read information about WiFi through a WiFi graphic (that I pulled from Canva's gallery).
