Uses in the Classroom: To
use this technology, students could be given lists of data and be asked to
create an infographic to display the information. Each student could have a
different subject to cover. It could be
very specific, for example, each student could cover a different organ in the
body for a biology class, a different disease for health class, or various
concepts in math or language. Many
infographics contain statistics and figuring out percentages, ratios, and various
ways to display them would require mathematical skills. Another approach would be to have all
students display the same data in different ways on their infographic. Infographics could be created as a summary of
the information in the chapters or sections of a textbook with each student
assigned to a different one. Sharing
their infographic with the class could serve as a summary and review. Skills utilized in this activity would be
locating and retrieving for collecting the data. Interpreting, summarizing and
comparing would be required to translate the data into a form to be displayed. Students would be required to organize and create
structure for the display. Designing,
planning and producing skills would be used to bring the assignment to
completion.
Issues
to Consider: Basic computer skills would be required as
well as an application to create the graphic display.
