Infographics

I think that this is a great visual representations of student learning! Of course they would be useful in the classroom especially for our visual learners!

I think that that creating an infograph would be an engaging assignment for my students.  This is an excellent way to present the knowledge the students have gathered throughout a unit. I could see students using this to present their knowledge on a certain Asian country (this is what I am doing for my final placement).  This could also be used for assignments where the students are asked to create awareness about a certain topic such as the effects of obesity, or child-labor in different countries.  This is a very effective way to get people's attention!   This is also an excellent time to talk to your students about synthesizing information.  It is often challenging for students to take a large amount of information and transform it into a visual diagram. The students learn how to filter data, distill data, and how to select visual tools to represent the information.
Jordana and I worked together to create an infograph about the importance of blogging in the classroom... check it out!!

This infograph describes WW11.  The students did an excellent job!
