Tech Tool: Infographics

Much research has been done in various fields about the visual nature of the human brain (I happen to have a secret interest in things like this that many of you may not know about...). As a result, I have spoken to some of you about using infographics with your content and students. For those of you with an artistic flair, this concept seems easier than to those who don't. However, creating DIGITAL graphics might be somewhat of a mystery to both groups. This link will take you to a great article which gives you some websites to start with, as well as examples of infographics and what the research says about the visual nature of the human brain. I found it to be very interesting!

As always, feel free to contact me to help you figure out how to use these in you classroom!
