"Infographics are a visually stunning way to deliver facts and statistics to readers. They have become incredibly popular recently on Pinterest, Twitter, and lots of other social media tools because users are looking for a quick way to get reliable information. Great infographics answer questions that people are interested in answering."
Have you considered having your students create infographics as a way to demonstrate their understanding of a topic? The creation of an infograhic requires that students research a question and analyze the information so the can create a visual presentation. In this post Kerry Gallager shares the process she uses with her students. The shorthand version is below but check out the post for more information as well as some student responses to the project.
* Begin with an essential question
* Provide access to information and data
* Teach the students what makes a great infographic
* Choose a number of infographic creation tools and let the students use the one that works best for them
* Remember, you are the facilitator
* Make sure the students are provided time to finish, polish and publish (which may be done at home if students have access to computers)
* Have students reflect on their work
