Infographic




Assignment Title: Infographic


Uses in the Classroom: There are a variety of different uses for an Infographic in the classroom. The teacher can use an Infographic for informational posters in the classroom, newsletters for parents, holiday and field trip information, etc. It's something that is easy to look at visually if made the correct way and can answer any questions that students may have.


This is also a great tool for students to use if they have access to the technology needed. Students can use this to create reports  or even informational posters for events like student council elections. Infographics allow students to gather data and quickly analyze it to figure out what they need to know. In the case of the above Infographic each morning my students have a strict routine they need to follow and complete. This graphic can assist them if they have forgotten what to do or if I'm absent the substitute will easily understand.


Issues to Consider: If an Infographic is cluttered with a variety of information it can become too much for some students to understand visually. Each Infographic needs to be carefully thought out so it is beneficial to the viewer. If students will be making these in the classroom they will need the proper technology as well as an email to sign up for the trial versions. If using this tool on a handheld device may also limit what the user can do.
