My Speech.

Step 1: Gather some facts about a certain cloud.

Step 2: Plan a layout of how you want your info-graphic to look, and the things you want to include.

Step 3: Go to "Piktochart" and choose a suitable layout/template/theme that matches your original plan.

Step 4: Double click on the box at the top, and type in your title.

Step 5: Keep on adding your information onto the site.

Step 6: Upload some pictures, by clicking on "Uploaded Images", then "upload image".

Step 7: Add all your information, filling in the appropriate boxes.

Step 8: If all your information doesn't fit, you can add more, by double-clicking on any box, and clicking the + button.

Step 9: You have now completed your info-graphic.

Step 10: If you want to embed it to your blog, you can get your embed code by clicking on "Publish" on the left hand side of the screen. Then click on HTML, followed by "Publish now". It will take awhile, but the embed code will pop up on the right hand side of the screen. Copy and paste the embed code onto the HTML file on your blog, then publish it.

Google Tools.

Today, Mr theobald taught us how to use Google tools, to find more precise sits, that are relevant to the topic/thing we are searching.

This is the "site" tool. It shows you results, only within the site we typed in. As you can see, all the results are of Wikipedia.

This are the "speech marks" and "negative" tools. It shows you results that have those exact words in the same sequence you requested. The negative signs, remove that from the google results.

These are some results you get, when you type in "why are clouds different colours?" without any google tools. As you can see, the results are completely irrelevant.
