Week 6 ( Info pics) 

Students these days are working towards learning, living and working in  an unknown future. The world of technology moves fast and new inventions or processes are created every day. For students to be active citizens in this untapped future they must be able to comprehend, interpret and evaluate endless information. Info pics are a great way of providing concise and important information to students. This can be done digitally to save time. Info-pics are also helpful as they provide a visual way to learn, becoming visually literate helps students to understand the most important information in an info over loaded world. I definitely associate as a visual learn and I find that if information is presented in a visual way I am able to process and understand it much faster.

I decided to create my very own info pic using easelly. I found this program very easy to use and didn't encounter any Java script issues. What I liked most about easelly was that you can use already existing themes, which for a busy teacher would be very helpful. After all why re-invent the wheel. This program works on an easy drop and drag system which would be quite easy for student to use. I also like that all created info pics can be saved as a PDF which allows teachers to gather a collection of info pics to save for easy access at any time. I believe that this digital info pic program could be used by students and teachers alike to develop visual learning aides that get important messages across without sifting through endless text.
