Infograhics are” visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. They are also used extensively as tools by computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating conceptual information” (Anders Ross). Infographics can be used in various ways. Thinking back to my previous post about hurricanes I thought it would be appropriate to have in infographic on hurricanes. I found the below infographic on hurricane anatomy on infographicworld.com.
Using infographics in lessons have endless possibilities especially when it comes to science and social studies. Students can use infographics to depict the life cycle of a plant to a timeline in history. My idea of using inforgraphics would be to have students create their own inforgraphic to keep in a binder to supplement units when they are complete. This would be especially beneficial in tested grades so the students have something to refer back to besides notes.
