Infograms

Inforgrams are cool and a very interactive way to integrate statistics into the class.  Since they can be easily created by students they would work well as a way for students to show information about a topic.  I see tons of uses with this technology in a math class but also in science classes.

I plan to use them as a form of a summary of a class or topic.  The students will have to summarize the information gathered in the class.  They would also be required to add in something that was not taught in class (conduct some research)  This would make for a great project.  It would turn out to be like a tech version of a KWL!!!

There are also some great infograms that are already made that you could use as a visual way to show information that you are teaching in the class.

This infographic could be used during the ecosystem unit in grade 12 biology.

The students could research on why the animals are endangered and what is being done about the fact they they are endangered

Here is one that could be used when talking about pH.  This happens in grade 10 science and grade 11 and 12 chemistry.



A great site to get some science based infograms is:

Here is one I created about how I love to travel, I hope you enjoy!!

  1. Thanks for sharing all of these! Being new to "infograms" this was a great way for me to be introduced to the idea. It seems like it would be beneficial in many classes. Not only is it an easy way to display information and statistics but it appeals to the visual learners, too!
