Exploiting Infographics This ebook was designed with English language teachers in mind but should have some value for any teacher who is interested in developing their students’ digital literacy and critical thinking skills. The book contains a wide range of suggested activities for both the creation and exploitation of infographics in the classroom. It also helps teachers with tips and advice on how to plan and create infographics and suggestions for which tools to use to produce different types of infographic. Exploiting Infographics follows on from 10 Lessons in Digital Literacy, which is a collection of lesson plans based around infographics, and looks in more depth at the genre and how infographics can be used as both sources of information and as creative learning tasks for students. The tasks that accompany the infographics are intended to encourage students to think more critically about the information they are exposed to and to question the sources of information they find whilst browsing the internet.
Multimediabyrån - Skolverket Christina Kvarnemo anser att det bästa sättet att lära sig något är att experimentera och samarbeta. Under det senaste året har hon och eleverna i andra klass på Nästegårdsskolan i Kvänum hjälpts åt att utforska Smartboardens potential. Denna dag tillverkar de sagor med handritade bakgrunder, digitala karaktärer, texter och inspelat tal. En av karaktärerna i sagorna på Nästegårdsskolan i Kvänum lever ett formidabelt dubbelliv. Ett av scenerierna är istället parkeringsplatsen utanför det lokala ICA. Barnen går i tvåan och arbetar denna förmiddag, liksom resten av klassen, med att skapa digitala sagor.- Vi kallar dem sagor men det kanske är fel i traditionell betydelse. När eleverna målat färdigt sina bakgrundsbilder skannas dessa in och bearbetas i datorn, eller på det digitala ritbordet - Smartboarden. I programmet finns också en lång rad färdiga objekt och figurer som eleverna kan använda som karaktärer till sina historier.

Why Infographics are Good for ELearning Graphics can often make or beak an online course. Rarely today do you see a course that doesn’t contain any relevant images – although I have unfortunately come across some. Luckily most elearning will make use of graphics, but sometimes they are not implemented properly. For example, you may come across pictures or graphics that don’t necessarily relate to the content directly, or don’t provide any real value and are distractions. Even worse, there are times when graphics don’t contain enough detail (such as legends and labels), which leads to more confusion. In general, you should make sure that the images, charts, and graphs that supplement your learning are coherent with the subject at hand, and they are similarly styled across the entire course. Why use graphics in the first place? The most obvious answer is that sometimes it is easier to convey information in a graphic.
