The other day we were talking about mindmaps and giving a quick view of all the content. Today I bring a similar option, but maybe more useful for teachers than for students. I'm talking about infographics.
If you have never heard about infographics I can tell you briefly what they are. Imagine having all the information you want but in one slide or paper. Now add visuals and a perfect layout. There you have it. And how can I do this? Well, as always, there are tons of possibilities: Easel.ly, Piktochart, Canva, Smore, Tackk, Mural.ly, Padlet... All these websites are useful to create infographics, but my favorite is Canva.
In Canva you have lots of templates ready to be edited and adapted to your content. It is easy to add images, icons, and descriptions to make them shine. They even provide you with a free image library, although you can always pay to get the best resources. Furthermore, they let you add videos or audios in case you want to share the infographic digitally. If not, you can always print them on paper.
The last infographic I made was this one about women in science. We were making a project in class and the information students collected was useful to make an infographic. Students can now check the most important facts of these three women in a glance. I already knew about infographics, but I'm sure I will use them more often now that I'm used to them.
