Infographics are a great way to help simplify a complicated subject, or turn a boring topic in to an interesting one. I can definitely see this tool being used as an effective strategy to engage students during a lesson. With the fast moving pace of technology that our students are used to, this is an excellent way to grab their attention and get right to the point of what you are teaching.
After trying all three infographic online makers (Easel.ly, Piktochart, and Infogr.am) the one I liked the most was Piktochart. In my opinion, this maker was more user friendly than the other two, and a lot easier to understand and navigate while making my infographic. I also liked the fact that this site had ten templates to choose from that made it easier for first time users to get started.
My infographic focuses on the use of social media in the workplace. With the growing popularity of social websites, you constantly see people using their technology devices during the workday, whether for professional or personal reasons.

Very nice! I like your infographic presentation. It is very visually appealing to the audience. It's interesting how most people use social media as a mental break while working. Sometimes we all need it.
ReplyDeleteThe colors you chose for your infographic are very visually pleasing. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Infographics can turn a boring subject into an interesting one. I am a visual learner, so Infographics are a perfect way for me to get information or give information. I plan on using Infographics with students this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information about the different types of apps to make infographics and why you chose the one you did~
