Infographics

                                                                           INFOGRAPHICS 

Piktochart seems simple enough to use. I like how they offer many types of templates which seems to be more than Infogram offers in their basic plan. Templates are easy to manipulate and allows you to create your own unique design. It also allows simple ways to add or change pictures and content. I personally think Piktochart offers great eye catching templates that can offer students of all levels a great visual presentation of information.




With infogram they automatically start you off at the basic plans which allows the user up to 10 projects, 13 maps, object animations (sounds interesting) and access to public content. They also offer 2 other paid monthly subscriptions: Pro at $19.00, Business at $67.00, and Team at $149.00. I like how the templates are broken up into categories as soon as you are beginning your infographic. I believe infogram would benefit the teacher or librarian as the templates seem more engaging/ appealing for students. They do not however, offer as many free templates as Piktochart or Easley. I ended up choosing and using this particular application to create my assignment. I know with more practice, the possibilities are endless. I have already thought of many different ways to implement infographics within the classroom! 

At the first glance, this infographic website looks simple and easy to navigate through hundreds of free templates. Just as Piktochart, I find the templates simple to manipulate and make them your own. This website seems to offer the same editing functions. I think selecting the one that works best for you is key and stick with it to complete your project.

  1. Tammy,
    Your infographic displayed so much information but in such a manner that was pleasing to the eyes. The color scheme you selected was a perfect addition to the presentation. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Hi Tammy, you did a great job with your infographic. I guess the south isn't has patriotic has the northeast or midwest. It would be fun to survey Texans and see how many fly the Texas Flag, those seem to be everywhere. My two choices were between infogram and piktochart. I chose piktochart because it seemed to have more free choices. Once again, great job!
