My attempt at Infographics...

I created an infographic that I could use with my first graders.  When creating my own infographic, I struggled most with the free constraints.  The three websites listed in our sandbox all had challenges, the biggest being the free images that were available.  I think it would work best with using photos of my own.  The infographic I created compares wild and tame animals.  I would love to add more pictures and may take some of my own this summer at the zoo so that I can use this next year when I teach this unit.

Here is the link to my infographic...

  1. Seemed arbitrary about the line spacing on your blocks. Wondered if you had any control over that but decided probably not.

    1. I agree, I would like to play with it a little more in the summer when I have more time to really focus on it and learn more about the programs. I played with all three websites and started and trashed at least 10 before I made this one.

  2. Did you find Canva the easiest? I tried Easel.ly and then went to piktochart. That was a lot better for me and I didn't move on to Canva because time was ticking...

    1. I didn't love the free options on any of them. I saw some that I really liked that cost money and I found lots of pictures that would have been fun to use that cost to use. The free restrictions were my biggest struggle
