2.2.3 Using Infographics to Develop Visual Literacy
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but infographics are worth a million. These visual representations of text, numbers, and graphic data communicate complex information quickly and concisely on one page that goes beyond just the facts. Students use both linguistic and nonlinguistic systems to read and interpret infographics and to develop their own multi-layered data graphics that demonstrate analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of content and skills. You will enjoy “reading” their projects, and they will enjoy creating them. Leave this session with multiple resources to use or create infographics for visual literacy.
