For my tech creation post, I decided to try an infographic with piktochart. It was a bit more challenging than I originally thought. I used one of the templates and it limited me a bit in how I could structure the infographic as opposed to creating my own. Then I realized that if I want to add pictures to a colored background I need to be able to have pictures that have the backgrounds removed and there aren't a lot of those on Google images.
But, I really like its potential and I'm going to try to create one from scratch next time and see how I do with those. I did my infograph on the new Common Read selection that we will be using in the Freshman Seminar course this year.
We usually put information about the Common Read on our website, so I might re-design this so that it can be used on the website this year!
It does take a little bit to learn the tool! Good work! Your design is clean! It could be a way for kids to post after they read too.
ReplyDeleteCool design! You can also make infographics using the program I used called Canva. It was very user friendly and fun. I like this idea as a way for students to create little study guides or handout during presentations!
ReplyDeleteLisa, thanks! I'll check out Canva and see which one I like better.
DeleteI used Piktochart too! I thought it was kind of limited with the customization, but I think they come out looking cool. It gets the job done, but agree that if we learn more about how to use it, it can be much more functional. Your graphic came out very organized an nice to look at, so I would say the goal was achieved.
