Use Infographics to Upgrade Your Assessment! |
Explore and create : Creation lab
Moriah Walker
Ditch the typical quiz/test/essay assessment and introduce your students to the world of infographics. Students are able to "show what they know" by creating graphics with short summaries of what they have learned, increasing graph and chart literacy along the way. Have students create instead of regurgitate!

Participants will be able to read and interpret infographics, as well as navigate the Piktochart website to create an infographic, and if time allows will explore other sites such as Visme, Easel.ly, and Canva. Learning how to create infographics themselves will allow educators to walk their students through the design process. Participants will walk away with ideas for use as formative or summative assessments, anticipatory activities, or even syllabi/newsletters.
