Remember those infographics?

I used Piktochart (and Easel.ly for the chart) to create this infographic about an article you can find here. I started with a blank page and not a template so it was a struggle at first, but exploring it was fun.

    Hi Dana! I liked your infographic, especially the chart. It was fun to play around with the different sites and see how much they can offer! I think that older kids would have a great time summarizing articles with infographics because of all the fun visuals they could make. Good job!:)

    This is a great example of an infographic! I also love Piktochart. It is easy to use and makes quality graphics that students can really learn from...and produce!

    Your infographic was an eye opener! It is stunning that more students do not have access to a computer or laptop at home with internet connectivity and they are only left with using their phones. It is definitely something for teachers to keep in mind when creating homework assignments. There is a huge push for teachers to use technology in the classroom, but students need to be given time to complete work in the class or in the library since they may not have access at home.

Bibliography Bryant, Jen. (2014). “ The Right Word: Roget and HisThesaurus. ” Grand Rapids, Michigan: Wm B.                 Eerdmans Publishing Co. ISBN: 978-0-8028-5385-1 Summary This book chronicles the life of Peter Roget and his love for language that brought us one of the most valuable literary tools in existence. Analysis I have to start by saying that I would happily frame any page from this book and hang it in my house, classroom or car. The illustrations are beautifully crafted from various combinations of paper, watercolors, pens and pencil. They are a very creative visual representation of the subject of the book, Peter Mark Roget.

The images give the book an intellectually youthful feel that is very enjoyable even without the story line. Despite the many additional words in the bo...

Bibliography Zelinsky, Paul. (1986). Rumpelstiltskin. New York, NY: E.P.Dutton. ISBN: 0-525-44265-0 Summary A young girl is locked away and told to spin straw into gold or she will die. Lucky for her, a tiny little man comes to her rescue multiple times and only asks for her first born child in return! She doesn’t want to give up her baby boy so she must guess his name to save her child. Analysis I have to start this by sharing something I found when I opened this book. This is the exact same copy of Rumpelstiltskin I read when I was just a kid, (probably 20 years ago), and it was no less wonderful two decades later. The storyline follows the typical Rumpelstiltskin tale we all know and love with only one or two little details that may be changed from culture to culture. This Rumpelstiltskin rides around on a magic spoon and does not rip himself in half when robbed of his infant prize. There is really nothing special about the actual text in the story. It does a good ...
