What are Infographics?

An infographic is a way to visually represent information. It is really beneficial for visual learners. All the information I will be including in this post can be reviewed in the video by Kathy Schrock.

Schrock provides steps to help organize the process of creating infographics:

  • Select a layered based image editor like CANVA and Daz.
  • Have students investigate different types of visuals.
  • Have students research different topics they would like to create an infographic for.
  • The next step is to create a rough draft of their infographic.
  • One of the most important things that students must learn is about Creative Commons
  • Next is to create and gather assets
  • Following this the students must learn how to use fonts, color, and layouts
  • The final step is to setup an organizational method

Schrock uses the LATCH method.
  • Location
  • Alphabet
  • Time
  • Category
  • Hierarchy
Below I have attached the video by Schrock and some examples.
