(Summary)
In the article it starts out to describe what infographics are and how can they be used visually. It would good to know that people learn from visual graphics and that it can also help create statistics for students which lead them to help interpret statistics more successful. I liked the example of how a students used infographics for research on why Colorado has the best skiing and using other information like airports, cost, and travel to get there. By doing this I think it really help students understand a topic much better and lets them do the research at the same time.
Q1: How can use infographics in the classroom?
I would use them by having the students pick a topic they like for the subject I am working on in the class. It can be politics, art, leisure, etc.. then have them so research on that topic and create graphs that are both easy for them to understand and their audience. I want students to see how important it is to get information from valuable sources and real life evaluations.
Q2: How have students and teachers used infographics for information they once needed and did not realize it?
From personal experience I use infographics and see them often in public and on ratings. It is crazy how much infograhics are relevant through T.V ratings, music, entertainment, and politics. I would like the classroom to look back at a time that they used a visual graphic to judge something or get a sense of how good a product or argument it really was. My example would be on Ovation Cell Therapy treatment for hair. I remember I went online to see how other leading brands compare to that one and it let me see percentages and feedback on which product is best to use and why.
