This week we have started focusing on Digital Technologies rather than Design. I have been asked to look at infographics and use a template to design my own. The templates were provided on a website called 'easelly', this made it very easy to design, as all that was required to was to change some words, colours, fonts or images, although if you wanted to you could design your own infographic from scratch. I am currently looking at buying a house therefore I chose this for my topic. It is a very simple and easy template and can easily become more visual with images etc. I chose this template simply because it is easy and simple for me to play with and get use to the new technology tool. I liked using it and can easily see how I could use it in the classroom both as a teaching instrument and as a tool the students could use themselves. The fact that it is easy and simple means students from a young age will be able to also use this wonderful visual aid. Other templates that were more involved and complex would suit older students and probably appeal more to all students from a teaching perspective. Infographics appear to be a wonderful resource to grasp the students attention, by being a beautiful visual aid incorporating colour and (in other templates) images, making it easier to understand and relate to. This is an easy tool to use to pack data into that will grab children's attention with its beautiful visuals.
