Infographics...

 Hi! Welcome to another post

yussssss

This post is about INFOGRAPHICS, educational infographics in particular. 

What's that? Well, I will explain it to you. 

Educational infographics are designed creatively in order to represent some knowledge with attractive visuals for the students. They are a good idea to explain concepts or contents in a more understandable way because these infographics include a series of graphics, short texts, images or even URL links that are attractive and much easier to remain better in the students' minds. Bitmoji Image

You have to take into consideration some points before starting to create your infographic:

1. Focus on the main message you want to transmit to your students.

2. Try to use as a cleaner and direct images as possible which still maintain the attention of your students.

3.  Organize clearly the text.

4. Each source you include you need to cite and attribute it! 

There are a lot of useful online tools to create infographics... such as Easel.ly, Piktochart, Canva, Padlet, Mural.ly... and so on. Just have a look and let me know if you are keen on creating super educational infographics for your lessons! 

 I will post below my personal infographic. It is about... I have decided to continue with the same topic I started with the previous post, that is, plants!!! heart treeI included a mindmap about a Farming Project in class on my last post, and in the first part of that mindmap, I remind the students of all the different types of plants that exist. So, I have decided to create an infographic that adds more information about this topic itself, combining it with photos and videos about different types of plants. 

The online tool used to design the infographic was Canva. I am fascinated with how easy is to drive on this website, I had no problems at all with creating the infographic. Aside, one of the best things about this website is the multitude of templates, images and different font types available in the free version. There are tons of options to design and create your infographic with all the details, even with animated pages and links to watch amazing videos! 

I attach my creation below, by the way! thumbs up

This poster will serve the students to have a clear organization on their minds about the contents they are going to learn with me, sounds great, right?

 Heeeeeey! How is it going? Welcome to another post  I just want to tell you a great presentation tool you can use during lessons! The tool is the use of MINDMAPS .   This wonderful tool is an image of different elements which helps you to present the information in an easy way for the students. That is, explaining a project that is going to be carried out in the class in a more visual way . Using mindmaps in education is a brilliant tool because help students memorize information effortlessly because all the information is ramified and connected with other concepts related to the main content.

Storyboard a video project...

 Hello!!!  Did you miss me?  My mates and I decided to create a video about the recognition of women's work  to dedicate some time in class to talk about this topic.  How can we use these videos for educational purposes ? It's very easy because with these tools you can engage students in the topic you want. Your students can feel more attracted to the lesson if you introduce the topic with an original video! Also, one important thing about this is that students will be able to watch the video at all times they need, so that, the information will be always available. The story is the following:  First, we decided to create a Storyboard of our video. Why? Because with this website you can create a plain comic so that we have to create a general idea and do not focus on too many details firstly. Apart from that, our students can have an initial idea about what your video is going to be afterward. In each slide, the students will read a brief resume of how...
