Infographic Overload

Being a technology loving teacher, I was surprised I had never heard of the wonderful world of infographics but now that I have I am ready to explore. I can see using these in my classroom to create historical timelines, comparing data, sharing mathematical data (maybe when teaching temperature), and much more. Then that infographics can be used to create higher order thinking questions that can be answered based on the information presented. Just imagine... you have taught your students about taking temperatures and about how temperature can be different in one location than another. You send you students are a temperature walk to collect data in various locations throughout the school. Then, you have the students create and infographic about the data they collected. After finishing, the student compare their data to other groups and also take time to create questions using Marzano's questions stems. The students pass their information to another group and they complete the questions using the information presented. A great combination of representing information and practicing comprehension. I'm excited and am looking forward to all the possiblities infographics may hold!
