Infographics

An Infographic or an information graphic is a way we can visually display information in an easily and understandable way that makes sense at a glance. Over the last few years people have been using Infographics to communicate a message, to simplify a presentation that has a lot of information in it. After looking at a few of the examples I immediately felt like infographics are right up my alley. I feel like when I see a presentation with solely hundreds of words and just plain back and white I do not pay attention to what it is saying. When I come across a write up that has short cue words, color and symbols or pictures I am immediately engaged to the pertaining topic.

I honestly truly think that these can and will be used in my classroom. Students are starting to learn more through technology and with technology comes visual representations, pictures, colors, patterns or step-by-step directions. Below I have located a Info graphic on Blogging in the classroom. I think when I get into my own classroom I will be using blogging as a means of reflection and assessment. Having such an info graphic present in the classroom would be a great way for students to visually see the steps and reasoning for blogging.

Above is an Infographic I made for phys-ed class in that different actions for particular sports are posted around the gym and the student takes their device and scan the QR code to see a demonstration of the particular skill.
