It has been great learning about all of you and your interests through the challenge responses each week. Remember, if you haven't completed the challenges the previous weeks its OKAY. This challenge is about you!
This week's challenge was inspired by the work of Tony Vincent (@tonyvincent.) Tony produces some great how to videos along with sharing web tools on his web page Learning in Hand.
Educators are constantly trying to grab the attention of their students. Neuroscientists suggest that stories and images through use of pictures and visual tools help students pay attention and remember information better. So, back in January Tony created an 11 minute video on producing Infopics. An infopic is a photo with text layered on top that is designed to communicate a message. In his video Tony shares several apps but there are a couple of web based tools you can use as well. To watch Tony's video please click here.
Since I don't know if you have access to an iOS or Android device we will learn a little more about Piktochart so you can complete the challenge. If you would like to use one of the apps highlighted in Tony's video please feel free to use one of them to complete this week's challenge.
Click here to see a tutorial on using Piktochart. You will need to register for a free account that gives you enough features to get started. If you have any trouble please don't hesitate to reach out to me and I can walk you through using this as well.
Once you have created your first Infographic or Infopic please click here.
