4. OK, that probably is enough to get you thinking about using infographics in your teaching. Yes, you need to begin thinking like a teacher right NOW! 5. And of course, the next step is to make an inforgraphic 6. What do you make your infographic about? The topic is completely up to your team....although, I suggest you keep it educational in some way......choose a topic that interests your future teaching, or education, or hot topics, or something in your content area or the environment, technology in the classroom, politics, Internet Safety, Digital Citizenship, anything is possible and basically everything could become an infographic!! 7. Creativity and thinking outside the box is clearly required. 8. What apps could you use to create your inforgraphic? Pages, Keynote. Pic Collage and there are a tond of Digital Scrapbooking apps that might work. 9. Here is an article from a great website, Make Use of, 10 Awesome Free Tools To Make Infographics. I do not know if these online tools with work on the iPad, but it is worth a try. http://www.technologybitsbytesnibbles.info/archives/2016 10.Remember an inforgraphic is Image heavy, some text, but mostly visual! 11.On that visual note, you will need to nd images and clipart to use or maybe take your own pictures.
