My Infographic

An infographic is a neat way of displaying information and also a fun way of compiling information. I think that they are pleasing to look at and a great way of getting important information across.

Here is the link to my infographic: http://infogr.am/Alaura-7582270631/
I used infogr.am to create it and ran into very few problems. The only issue I have is that once a graph is entered on the page I couldn't move it around. Also, I'm not a big fan of how all the graphs are one under another. I do like all the templates on infogr.am and the different features but not how they are displayed in the end.  I'm sure the more I use it (like other programs) the better I will get at it. There are also a few other sites that a classmate mentioned but I haven't checked them out yet. I'm going to have to play around with them and see

I would use this is a tool for teaching and learning in a class with students. I think that kids would enjoy putting their research into a visual representation online. Infographics are more than just regular posters because they can be interactive with timers and countdowns. Also videos, maps. and pictures can be uploaded as well.

  1. Infographics do tend to be long and skinny. I tried it out, instead of double clicking on a chart to edit, click and hold and you'll be able to move it.

  2. I loved your infographic! I am not a huge reader but was very intrigued by your book collection. I also found this program hard to use. Thank you for the tip Mr.L. I also plan on using it my classroom I think it is an interactive way to get students involved in their project. I love all the things you can put on your infographic as well
