What’s an Infographic? • Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.[1][2] They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infographic

Creating Infographics • Find and curate (select) information to present • Visualize that information--try to use non-text representations such as images, charts, graphs, numbers, and videos • Organize so that the reader progresses through the information in a way that helps them learn, build, or grow ideas • Read like a book--top to bottom, left to right • Read from center outward—big to small like a concept map
Uses for Infographics • Teachers: • Present information visually • Activate or level background knowledge before a unit • Teach or practice visual literacy strategies • Students: • Demonstrate learning • Projects, assignments, multimedia essays
