In Logic, and invalid argument is one in which the conclusion doesn't follow from the premises.

1) I am in America
2) I am a noder
3) America is a place where noders are
--------------------------------
4) Therefore, if you are in America, then you are a noder.

In this case, all the premises are true, but the conclusion doesn't follow. If the conclusion did follow, this would be not only a valid argument, but a sound one.
