What About Me is an Intel tool which makes a graphic of digital life. This is part of their teacher community and might need membership before you can use it. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/what-about-me/what-about-me.html, but I can’t get to it since I am not logged in at the moment.

Enjoy!
