What are Infographics?
Inforgraphics "are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly" as stated by wikipedia.
I really like the idea of using infographics in the classroom because they can sum up a topic in a way that displays the important information in an easy and clear way. Infographics are great for the visual learners in the classroom and would also be a great assignment for students to display their learning.
Examples of Inforgraphics:
I found both of these examples on pinterest
Now for my Inforgraphic:
I used photos that I took and I found my information on livescience.com and canadianencyclopedia.com
Love your infographic, it is so clear and very beautiful. I hope that we can all figure out how to incorporate them into our classroom, since they are fun, interesting and will likely really appeal to students.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea of using them for summarizing.
Amanda, I really like your infographic. It is so pretty and full of clear information. I really enjoyed this tech task and I too am looking forward to using it in a classroom (although it might be difficult for early years students).
