Infographic

Infographics are an excellent way to communicate information visually. In creating this infographic for ETT531 - Visual Literacy at Northern Illinois University, I explored the possibilities of visual design and communication of meaning through placement of fonts, text and images. Although a novice to this area, I used this infographic on a discussion board to convey my understanding of visual literacy in a unique way. I also learned the importance of Creative Commons licensing in sharing information so that others may learn from my creative works. Using infographics to teach, having students design and create infographics, and sharing infographics are excellent 21st century skills that integrate technology into the curriculum. Some other ways to teach using infographics can be found at the Educational Technology and Mobile Learning website: Ways to Teach Using Infographics.
