Words, Pictures, Numbers, WOW! – 2nd Grade Infographics Attract Attention

Words, Pictures, Numbers, WOW! – 2nd Grade Infographics Attract Attention | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"For the past four years, we’ve been using infographics with our students at different grade levels. This year, our second graders were studying New York City to make comparisons between its historical past at the turn of the last century with today. Instead of the typical presentation poster, they made infographics using the Easelly app."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Can 2nd graders create infographics? Based on this post from ASIDE the answer would be yes! The students were able to Easel.ly and create 8 infographics that show their understanding of New York City at the turn of the century and today. Consider trying a similar project with students in your classroom (and make sure to learn to use Easel.ly before you introduce it to your students!).

Canva - Create Beautiful Slides, Posters, and Infographics

Canva - Create Beautiful Slides, Posters, and Infographics | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Canva is a new service that makes it easy to create beautiful slides, flyers, posters, infographics, and photo collages. Creating these graphics on Canva is a drag-and-drop process. Start by selecting a template then dragging and dropping into place background designs, pictures, clip art, and text boxes."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Canva is in beta but their response for an account is usually done within 3 or 4 days. Create slides, flyers, posters, infographics and more and download them or link to the online graphic. You may upload your own images or use from their collection. This looks like a quick and easy way for you or your students to create media for classes or activities that take place in your school.
