Infographics can be used to display information and data. There are many different websites that allow you to create infographics. One site that I enjoyed using was Piktochart. I created an infographic describing the difference between realism and fantasy. Click here to view it. In my kindergarten class, realism and fantasy is a big focus. Even though parts of the graphic would be hard for kinder students to read, it can still be used within a lesson. This graphic can also be used as reinforcement for older students who may still struggle with the concept.

Uses for the classroom: Infographics can be used in a variety of ways. Teachers can use them to display information and data in the classroom. If students are to create infographics, then they could reach higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy. Creating infographics would require students to interpret data or information, create a way of sharing the information, and use technology to design the graphic.

Issues to consider: Teachers, when creating charts to display in a classroom, it is important to check for accuracy in the data or information. It is also important to spell check the work before sharing it with students. For students, it is important to check their data or information. Make sure it is accurate. Also, make sure students use appropriate language and check for grammatical errors.
