Okay, I’m officially an easel.ly convert! I did not create this easily, but I bet my students will. I love the possibilities and the shared resources. This is an infographic representing part of my reading for presentation, Chapter 4 in Digital Habitats. In looking at it, anyone with a flair for design, (Sorry, professor, even after our design foray together, I am unduly impressed with my simplest success!), would find multiple flaws. I’m happy because, in doing this, I have become more confident with the material and am more prepared to complete my screencast. I needed that.
I can see this tool, despite my use of Canva in the past, as one that will serve my students well. I know that during our book clubs, as one of the options for representing theme, students could create an infographic in easel.ly and upload it to their blogs…love the embed code option. Look how well it worked for me.
Youth Radio, a division of npr, features terrific resources. One is devoted to visualizing data. I will be using this with my students to discuss an aspect of human impact.
