🤔 What are infographics? How can they support what we are learning?
Research has shown us that visual learners build deeper knowledge through visual learning. Infographics represent an evolution of literacy, where infographics serve as an essential language of literate readers and writers.
~Mark Davis, author of Piktochart blog post "Teaching with Infographics is Essential for Visual Literacy"
🧐 Let's see infographics in action and get some ideas!
Possible Levels of SAMR with Infographics:
Possible Levels of SAMR with Infographics:
Substitution: Students gather various infographics from the internet on a topic they are studying. They utilize these in their note-taking process.
Augmentation: Students create a digital infographic. They utilize text in different ways and add images to their infographic.
Modification: Students create a digital infographic. They utilize a template to get started adding text, images, and graphical elements to their creation. They customize the elements to best match the topic being presented.
Redefinition: Students create their own infographics about a hot topic in which they are interested. Students apply their knowledge of color, typography, and text features to highlight various points. They utilize multi-media elements including graphs to show what they've learned. Students then share their Infographics with their peers to help them better visualize their topic.

Preload images or graphics for students to choose from.
Utilize simple templates where the space is already divided.
