Finding Good Education Infographics

Infographics are helpful for those of us who are visual learners. I use them to help explain concepts (see Education Hashtags in Twitter). I have played with Infogr.am (see Creating an Infographic) and Piktochart (see Considering Another Infographic Creation Tool) to create my own. Collections of pre-made infographics can also be found.
