Beth Dichter's insight:

Here is an up-to-date review of five tools that allow you to create infographics. Each tool is described. There is a list of pros and cons for each tool. All have free versions available, and some have more robust versions that cost additional money.

The five tools that are discussed are:

* Visme

* Canva

* Easel.ly

* Piktochart

* Infogr.am

Providing opportunities for students to create infographics allows them to create graphs, use a different style of writing, and have some fun while showing that they understand key concepts and ideas.

Teaching With Infographics

"This past week I taught a few classes on infographics and decided to update the page by adding a section called "Teaching With Infographics". It is important for your students to make sure that they evaluate any infographics they are using, by making sure the author/creator has cited their references. Misinformation on the web exists. Have students read these tips to make a better infographic."

Beth Dichter's insight:

The Media Specialist has recently updated her information on teaching with infographics. This post provides many great resources including a post on tips to make better infographics, an in-depth video on teaching with infographics, a series of videos that detail how to use Piktochart to create infographics, and many other resources. If you are considering having students create infographics check out this post for resources.
