Infographic

Assignment Title: Infographic

Uses in the Classroom: Infographics could be very useful in the classroom.  They could be used by the teacher as a quick introduction to a lesson to get the students interested in the topic they are preparing to learn.
      They could also be used by students to summarize their research work.  The could be given a research assignment and upon completing their research they would create an infographic to present their findings to the class.

Issues to Consider: Many of the programs to create infographics are web-based and contain many examples of other peoples work.  Some of the examples provided may not be appropriate for the age of students you are working with.  If you are using this in the classroom you must be able to closely monitor your students to ensure they don't access any inappropriate material.
      Also, since not every student has internet access from home this is an assignment that would need to be completed at school and assigned as homework.
