Our High School Geography teacher is allowing students to create an Infographic to better understand the location, origin, and make up of a world languag Two resources that she is using to describe an Infograph are below.  The first is from Piktochart.com which is going to be the tool of choice to create.  The second resource is an Infographic describing and Infograph



  
What is an Infographic?
In the past, Mrs. Brylski had students create advertisements for a beverage to be sold in a European country.  Students would use Microsoft Word or Publisher and the cut and paste method.  The final products would be placed into plastic sleeves in a binder.

Since we don't have Microsoft products, we needed a different method.  We decided that Pic Collage would be a great alternative because it provides layering, cropping of imported pictures, text, stickers, and multiple exporting options!  We did need to incorporate the Skitch app as we experienced a better paragraph writing experience.  We simply exported the Skitch creation to our camera roll.

Combine that with the Google Drive app to share the final products with the teacher and a real marketing person, the students are experiencing an authentic learning experience.
