It stands alone and is completely self-explanatory. 4. It reveals information that was formerly hidden or submerged. 5. It makes possible faster, more consistent understanding. 6. It's universally understandable.

**Where can you find them?**
All over the web, in video media, in print media, really just about everywhere. USA Today has a snapshot of data each day on the front page of each section. Web sites such as Cool Infographics, GOOD infographics, and more.

**Why are they important?**
The idea of an infographic is that it combines our visual understanding and mathematical understanding into a new way of looking at data. This type of analysis and understanding is critical to the 21st Century Skills we are developing in our teachers and in our students.
