The infographic I chose to create was over Kansas in the 1800s, I felt like this time era was important for my students to see visually that Kansas is is a place full of rich history! I also wanted my students to get excited about Kansas history and for them to see an example of an infographic that way when the Kansas Unit is completed they will understand what an infographic is and be able to complete one on their own!
The app that I used was Canva which is a free graphic-design tool website, founded in 2012. It has an easy to use drag-and-drop interface and provides access to over a million photographs, graphics, and fonts. It is used by non-designers as well as professionals. The tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics.
With that being said, the app I listed above is the app I used and the one my students will be using for an infographic project. Canva is a free and easy app that allows ALL your students to use it! It allows students who have desktops, iPads and iPhones to use it! While using this app you have the option to chose from a whole list of designs, once you have chosen your design there is many different options for layouts that are pre-made and can be adjusted to your liking. If you did not like any of the designs or layouts you can make your own! This app also has many different backgrounds, icons, images that are free and can easily spice up your design!
I found this app to be extremely easy to use and fun! I was able to pick images, different fonts, colors etc! This allows my infographic to stand out and pop! I have also posted below a video tutorial of how to use the app!
