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.

"Beautiful Creatures" by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Garcia, Kami & Margaret Stohl. (2009). Beautiful Creatures. New York, NY: Little Brown and Company. ISBN: 978-0-316-04267-3                 Being the whimsical, southern lady that I am, I thoroughly enjoyed this book (and plan on enjoying the rest of the series). It takes place in Gatlin, South Carolina, home of the southern belle and where people are expected to act just so, (they often meet expectations). Ethan seems to be your average small town young man, full of the desire to get up and get out. He goes about his life feeling like he’s missing something and then suddenly bam, a new girl moves to town and he is inexplicably fascinated by her.                 We, as readers, get to follow along on their journey to be together despite the odds and familial input. The world is out to get them, literally, and they manage to...

"Wonder" by R.J. Palacio

Palacio, R.J. (2012). Wonder. New York, YN: Knopf. ISBN: 978-0-375-86902-0                 Prepare yourself emotionally before reading this book. Go ahead, build that little wall that keeps your heart in your chest while getting lost in fiction. I did not get that warning. There were tears.                 Granted, this was a wonderful (no pun intended) read, but it still hurt my heart to vicariously go through a “normal” day in the life of August Pullman. He was born with a 1-in-4 million chance craniofacial abnormality. This means that he does not look like a “normal” kid. He never really describes himself, but he mentions his “cauliflower” ears, “melted cheese” features and “tortoise mouth.” The picture these comparisons paint is not a pretty one. Auggie never lashes out at the kids who make fun of him for looking the way he ...

"The Right Word: Roget and his Thesaurus" by Jen Bryant

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. These images also have snippets of handwritten thesaurus entries regarding the vocabulary used in the book. 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...
