Infographic and Design Tools

 



I personally love using canva! I use it all the time especially when creating assignment outlines for the students. I have attached a few of the assignment outlines that I have created using Canva during my practicum placements. 

Slides carnival is another website that I use for creating of slideshow presentations. I find that google slides and even powerpoint are rather limited in their template designs so this is a great resource that provides quite a few different background templates to choose from.

I think that the use of infographics can be used as both an assistive technology device as well as to assist those students who are less tech savvy as it is a great tool that combines both the a visual representation of what you are teaching/expecting as well as written words so that there are two ways for students to grasp the material. Also, once created you can download the creation into either a pdf of a document and if you wanted to you can add a voice over it as well in order to verbalize what is written in the infographic to provide another level of understanding for the students. Plus we live in a society now that is inundated with social media and pictures that are used as a means to spread a message so the infographic is a very common aspect of our students lives that we would just be adapting in order to help them to understand the material that we are teaching them
